Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 909: Nervousness

"What should we do?"

Seeing his sister looking so distressed, Zhao Xuefei almost wanted to run over and shout for her.

"Let’s wait a bit longer," Gu Lingling shook her head while holding him, "she has to take this step herself."

They could help her for now, but what would happen after school started?

Would they keep helping her forever?

Zhao Xuefei understood this reasoning, but it was still hard on him to see his sister struggling so much.

Especially after the things she had been through.

But soon enough, someone walked up to Zhao Jingmiao’s stall and pointed at her clothes, asking about their price.

Earlier, when she couldn’t bring herself to speak, she had taken a careful look at how others around her were doing business. So when someone asked about the price, she mimicked their manner and said, "Sister, if you like something, I can offer you a discount, just help me make my first sale."

"How much is this one? How much of a discount can you give me?" the lady asked, pointing at a piece of clothing.

Zhao Jingmiao imitated how Gu Lingling had taught her to match clothes, helping the lady compare, "If you buy these two pieces, you can mix and match with what you’re wearing, turning two outfits into four."

"If you take both, I’ll give you a three yuan discount."

The lady hesitated for a moment, "Only three yuan off?"

"Sister, that’s already very cheap," Zhao Jingmiao said with a smile, "and it really suits your style."

She had learned such compliments from Gu Lingling when picking out clothes before.

Learning and using immediately.

Although she felt a bit shy speaking up, she finally made a sale.

Zhao Xuefei and Gu Lingling both felt relieved.

Her clothes were particularly good-looking to begin with. Having the experience of the first sale, Zhao Jingmiao relaxed a bit and mustered up the courage to start promoting her stall.

"Girl, you’re really impressive," the lady next to her said with a smile, "The first time I tried, I couldn’t even get my words straight."

But this younger girl not only spoke up but also made sense in what she said.

If she weren’t busy with her own business, she’d really buy two pieces from her too.

"Sister, I’m actually really nervous," Zhao Jingmiao whispered as there were no customers at the moment, showing the lady her hand, "Look at my hands, they’re sweaty from anxiety."

This made the lady laugh heartily.

After selling a few pieces of clothing, Zhao Jingmiao gradually felt more at ease.

"This spot is mine," suddenly a woman with a large bag walked over and said, "You’re occupying my spot."

Zhao Jingmiao looked at her in confusion, "Aren’t these spots taken by whoever arrives first?"

She had checked this earlier.

Most of the people in this place had fixed stations, with spots practically designated to them, but some spots kept shifting around.

"What do you mean whoever comes first?" The girl said sharply, "I always sell clothes here, my customers know this, and you’ve not only taken my place but also my customers. Shame on you."

"Lin Hong, that’s not right," the lady next to them said with a light smile, "The spots here go to whoever comes early. If this was really your spot, why weren’t you here yesterday? Or the day before?"

Today she came, but so late that only a fool wouldn’t take the spot.

"Anyway, this spot is mine," Lin Hong angrily threw her things to the ground, "Are you going to pack up, or should I do it for you?"
