When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Chapter 146: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Drama (33)

Xu Chengfang was surprised to see a customer arrive just after they hung up the sign. She enthusiastically went forward to greet them:

"Yes, comrade. From now on, this will be the general hospital’s retail department."

"If there’s anything you need to buy, you won’t have to run back and forth anymore."

The person smiled and said, "When do you open for business?"

"Er," Xu Chengfang faltered, glancing at the empty shelves. She smiled and continued, "We’re estimating we can open tonight. Our comrades are already on their way to get inventory. In any case, our merchandise will gradually be fully stocked. It’ll be convenient for everyone!"

"Oh, right! We can also provide a service for making and receiving phone calls," Xu Chengfang added, suddenly raising her voice when she saw Chi Yun’er point to the telephone.

The person nodded, indicating they were looking forward to the store’s opening.

Once the person left, Xu Chengfang found a cardboard box, tore it into several pieces, and wrote the retail department’s address on them, adding that they now offered a service for making and receiving phone calls.

Putting down her pen, she let Chi Yun’er know what she was doing and then excitedly went to place the makeshift signs in conspicuous, high-traffic areas.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, someone followed the address to the store. They looked at the words "Retail Department" written on the cardboard sign, paused for a moment, then entered. Seeing the empty room with only two simple desks and chairs, they almost turned to leave.

But there were indeed two telephones on the desk!

"Hello, comrade," Chi Yun’er said with a light smile as she stepped forward to greet him. "Are you here to make a call? Our prices are the same as the post office. We can only do local calls, though. It’s four cents per call, and the fee to take a message for someone is three cents..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The person hesitated before taking out four cents and placing them on the desk. "I need to make a phone call."

Chi Yun’er smiled as she took the money and recorded the Zhaoyang Retail Department’s first sale in her notebook.

The last time they’d organized the exchange for summer goods, the hospital employees had been the ones running back and forth. This time, after a few phone calls from Chi Yun’er and her team, many suppliers said they would deliver the goods right to their door that very afternoon.

The first customer hadn’t even finished their call when a small truck with a Bingyang Beverage Factory banner came PUTT-PUTTING up to the store. Two young men hopped out, wearing blue tank tops also printed with the Bingyang Beverage Factory name.

They smiled and presented an order form. "Director Chi? Could you please verify the types and quantities of the sodas, and then sign here?"

Soda was an absolute must-have in the hot summer weather!
