Chapter 193 Don't Be Hasty
As the new week began, the TV program aired as scheduled.
That evening, Lu Yuan and his parents sat in front of the television early in the morning.
When the neighbors heard that Lu Yuan was on TV, they all rushed over to join in the fun, and the small living room was packed with people, creating a lively atmosphere.
Although Lu Yuan only appeared on camera for five minutes in the half-hour program, he was calm and composed in front of the camera, speaking eloquently about the business philosophy and features of "Yuanxian Wardrobe," and his performance was impeccable.
Everyone who saw it praised his performance highly.
The scene then cuts to Xia Anqi trying on clothes, where she lavishes praise on Yuanxian's wardrobe, her words full of admiration.
They praised Lu Yuan's abilities repeatedly.
"Wow, this girl is so pretty!" Mom couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Xia Anqi.
When her mother learned that she was not only a wealthy heiress but also a top student from Tsinghua or Peking University, she was so surprised that she couldn't stop smiling.
As the show aired, Lu Yuan and Yuanxian Wardrobe's popularity soared.
The next day, the store was flooded with customers who came from far and wide, eagerly selecting and buying items.
Despite the booming business, Lu Yuan remained calm and insisted on first selling 300 pieces of each style as a trial.
This resulted in a situation where there wasn't enough stock of certain styles, and customers came excitedly but left disappointed.
Fortunately, he promised to restock as soon as possible, which won back the customers' hearts.
Once you understand the market feedback, identify the six to eight best-selling styles and increase your order volume; then everyone will rush to buy them.
With the store's operations fully on track, Lu Yuan began to expand his channels for selling overstocked goods.
As a dealer of surplus stock, Uncle Qian readily accepted Lu Yuan's offer to sell his inventory at half price.
Besides Uncle Qian, Lu Yuan also turned his attention to the clothing stores and vendors in the town markets.
These people lack transportation capabilities and large sums of money, making it impossible for them to purchase goods in large quantities. However, Lu Yuan is willing to provide them with small batches of goods at a discount of 50% or even lower, which they can then sell in remote towns and villages, still making a profit.
With this, Lu Yuan's business strategy was officially formed, and subsequent adjustments would only be needed based on market trends.
Although the business only operated for half a month in July, it had already earned a small profit of more than 20,000 yuan.
Lu Yuan's plan is to operate stably for three months. As long as he remains profitable, he will immediately expand to neighboring cities and replicate Jiangcheng's operating model.
At the same time, Lin Kai was officially promoted to store manager, and Lu Yuan intended to delegate some authority to him as a way to train him.
As for Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe, they are still preparing for their driver's license exams.
The third part of the driving test was not difficult for them, and they passed it easily; as for the fourth part, they could wait until the start of the school year to transfer to the provincial capital to take the test, so there was no need to rush.
By August, most of the students' graduation banquets were over, and Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian's graduation banquet was finally scheduled.
Ye Yixian informed her brother Ye Yizhu in advance, and the latter, naturally unwilling to miss this important moment in his sister's life, took a few days off to rush back.
The Lu family was bustling with activity on the day of the graduation banquet.
Lu Yuan is now quite well-known in the small town, and the number of people coming to the banquet to congratulate him is increasing.
Ye Yixian didn't have many relatives and friends. She only invited her brother Ye Yizhu, her good friend Wang Qingyu, a few girls who studied with her, and an elderly couple who had taken good care of her over the years.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, had a wide network of connections, and all sorts of friends came to visit him. Even Lisa Thomas sent him a congratulatory gift through a third party.
It's worth mentioning that Xu Lingjing invited Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian to her college entrance celebration banquet some time ago.
However, at that time, Yuanxian Wardrobe had just reopened, and Lu Yuan was too busy to attend the banquet. He could only send a congratulatory gift through someone else and was unable to attend in person.
Later, I heard from my classmates that Xu Lingjing was heartbroken for a long time because of this.
So this time, even though Lu Yuan invited Xu Lingjing to his college entrance celebration, she ultimately did not show up.
The day after the graduation banquet, Ye Yixian and Ye Yizhu went to the cemetery to visit their mother, Lin Jinhua.
Lu Yuan accompanied her, standing quietly to the side as Ye Yixian shared the latest good news with her mother.
This scene made Lu Yuan wonder: what happens to people after they die?
Will they all be reborn like me?
Probably not. If everyone were reborn, wouldn't the world become a haven for "cheaters"?
Therefore, cherishing the present moment and taking each step carefully is the most important thing.
As the holiday drew to a close, Lu Yuan decided to take Ye Yixian to an amusement park to relax.
Roller coasters, Ferris wheels, pirate ships... the two had a blast, and even watched a movie together that wasn't actually that great.
But whether a movie is good or not is not important; what matters is who is around you.
Having gone through so much, Lu Yuan believed that Ye Yixian was now more confident in facing her upcoming university life.
That day, Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian arrived at Yuanxian Wardrobe first, and not long after, Gao Ya and Lin Kai also arrived.
However, something seemed off about the two of them.
"I told you to be careful, why don't you listen?" Gao Ya scolded Lin Kai irritably, clearly quite angry.
Everyone knows Gao Ya; she has a sharp tongue but a kind heart, and she really likes Lin Kai.
If Lin Kai had only made a minor, insignificant mistake, she would have simply laughed it off.
But judging from the current situation, this is clearly not a trivial matter.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled. Ye Yixian also looked confused.
"Hey!" Lin Kai sighed helplessly, "I went on a date with Ya Ya last night."
"Yeah, you guys had the day off yesterday. What happened? Did your date not go well?"
"No, it's precisely because things went too smoothly that things turned out this way."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yixian was full of questions. Shouldn't a successful date make you happy?
Why are you getting angry?
"It's all his fault, he was so impatient." Gao Ya rolled her eyes at Lin Kai and said without any hesitation, "I told him to buy some safety measures first, but he just wouldn't listen, insisting that 'real men know how to handle guns,' and then..."
Gao Ya wasn't embarrassed, but she was very annoyed by Lin Kai's nonchalant attitude towards this kind of thing.
"Huh?" Ye Yixian clearly didn't understand, staring blankly at Lu Yuan, her eyes full of a plea for an explanation.
Lu Yuan leaned close to her ear and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing this, Ye Yixian's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.
Gao Ya and Lin Kai were quite surprised to see this: "What's wrong, Lu Yuan, Yi Xian? You've been talking for so long, and you haven't gotten to that point yet?"
Ye Yixian was completely flustered, head down, not knowing how to respond.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said calmly, "We're not your age, what's the rush?"
"That makes sense." Gao Ya nodded, then turned to look at Ye Yixian. "Girls need to be a little mentally prepared, right, Yixian?"
"Uh...yes...right?" Ye Yixian nodded awkwardly, as if the whole world assumed she was too young and not mentally prepared.
She knew that Lu Yuan thought this way because he cared about her physical and mental well-being, but if possible, she still hoped that Lu Yuan could be a little more "overbearing".
It's still summer vacation, so the two of them can stay together all the time, making it the perfect opportunity to take things to the next level.
If we wait until college, we'll have less time to meet, and it will probably be even harder to find a suitable opportunity.
Ye Yixian was very distressed, but she didn't know what to do. She could only go to Wang Qingyu again, hoping that this "little clever girl" could give her some advice.
