Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Late night on June 9th.

It was approaching eleven o'clock in the evening, and Sun Wanhui was sitting in the shop, looking at the Taobao backend page on the computer screen, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

She rushed to the wholesale market at noon today and bought dozens more sets of small sling sets. After returning to the store, she sent out the remaining orders she had saved in the morning.

But gradually, Sun Wanhui truly felt that things seemed to be developing more smoothly than Xu Xing said.

Because she gradually began to pay attention to e-commerce, Sun Wanhui would go to her computer from time to time in the afternoon and evening to check if there were any new orders.

As a result, there was one order at two o'clock in the afternoon, one order at two-thirty, two orders at four o'clock, three orders at almost seven o'clock, and a total of five orders at eight or nine o'clock.

As of now, the deadline is 11 o'clock, and counting from noon, there are a total of 15 more orders!

Including the clothes sold in the store today, her clothing store sold as many as thirty or forty pieces of clothes today!

At the end of the day, the turnover is almost 3,000, and the gross profit is more than 2,000!

This does not include the orders in the morning.

Among them, Taobao actually accounts for the majority.

In particular, Sun Wanhui discovered a surprising thing. Although she was sure that customers who came to the physical store would buy one or two more items, she still had to spend a lot of time and effort to guide the customers' desire to buy.

But online, she obviously didn't talk to customers much. She just replied when someone asked some questions in the background.

As a result, she found that the number of customers who purchased set meals online was much higher than those who purchased two or more items in a physical store.

Obviously you can't bargain on the price of clothes online. The only discount is that the set meal is five yuan or ten yuan cheaper, but there are so many people paying for it.

Sun Wanhui was puzzled and couldn't understand the principle behind it.

Seeing that it was almost time to close the store, she stopped thinking about it, got up, cleaned up the store, closed the store door and drove home.

As soon as she entered the house, Sun Wanhui saw her husband, Xu Jian, who had returned from the factory at some unknown time and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking.

After a while, Xu Xing also sneaked back from outside. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa. Sun Wanhui waved her hand in front of her nose with a look of disgust: "Can you smoke less at home?"

After Xu Jian finished smoking, he put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, exhaled a breath of stale air, and leaned back on the sofa: "I've been on a business trip these days and I'm exhausted. How about a cigarette?"

The couple often quarrels about smoking, and Xu Xing firmly sides with his mother: "Second-hand smoke is also harmful to others. Dad, even if you want to smoke, go to the balcony to smoke."

"I haven't mentioned you yet." Xu Jian glanced at Xu Xing, quickly changed the subject, and asked, "You came back so late, where did you go fooling around?"

"I'm just going to do some business." Xu Xing shrugged, looked at his mother and said, "After the photo was taken, I went to find someone to edit it, and it will be sent to Taobao Store tomorrow."

"What Taobao shop?" Xu Jian asked.

"It's okay." It had only been open for two days, so Sun Wanhui was not in a hurry to talk to him about this. She planned to wait until the money earned from e-commerce was in her hands before talking, "It's just about the store."

Xu Jian had always paid little attention to Sun Wanhui's clothing store, but asked again: "How did you do in the college entrance examination?"

He was actually just asking a routine question.

In fact, there is consensus among the family about Xu Xing's performance. He has a good foundation and talent, but he is not proficient in English, and at most he will die.

Xu Jian has been in the factory these days and has to go on a business trip. He has no time to care about his son's college entrance examination, but he has been thinking about it in his heart.

It's just that I can't reveal that I'm a father, so I can only ask casually, pretending to be unintentional.

Before Xu Xing could speak, Sun Wanhui on the side had already sighed and said: "It's probably just like that. I heard that English is more difficult this year. It would be good if I can get a feel for it."

Xu Jian nodded clearly, looked at Xu Xing and said, "Anyway, the college entrance examination is over now, you have to listen to some words."

"If you are lucky this time and pass the first exam, then you should study hard and get the diploma. If you don't do well in the exam, it doesn't matter if you pass the second exam. After you graduate, I will find a way to arrange for you to find a position in the factory.

, I will never starve you to death."

"Of course you have to have your own ideas. You can say that our family is a democratic family. In the end, it all depends on what you want."

After hearing these words, Xu Xing just curled his lips.

Xu Jian is a very contradictory person, probably because he was born in the 1970s and 1980s, when tradition and emerging trends of thought were intertwined, which resulted in Xu Jian’s character being both traditional and avant-garde.

On the one hand, he supports everyone in the family to have their own opinions, and he also supports his wife to have her own career, so that Sun Wanhui can open a store and do the clothing business she likes.

On the other hand, he is a bit chauvinistic. Sometimes Sun Wanhui makes more money in a month than his salary. She says she is happy, but she still can't help but add something like "this business is unstable" in a tone of voice.

Sour and sour.

When it comes to educating his son, he also adheres to a free-range strategy and never interferes too much in his studies. Even though Xu Xing's English is so poor, he has never enrolled him in any tutoring classes.

His philosophy is that family is the foundation for educating children to behave and do things, but teaching and learning is the responsibility of schools and teachers. He only guarantees that he and his wife will not interfere with the school's education plan.

Therefore, Xu Xing's childhood and student years have always been good. If Xu Jian was not laid off from the factory and Sun Wanhui's clothing store went downhill year after year, perhaps Xu Xing would never have woken up in his lifetime.

"I think so." Xu Xing kept talking, saying that he had no interest in working in a factory. "If I really want to find a job, I might as well follow my mother and sell clothes."

"What's the point of selling clothes?" Xu Jian glared at him.

"How come there is no future in selling clothes?" Sun Wanhui asked dissatisfied.

"Ahem...that's not what I meant." Xu Jian smiled awkwardly, accidentally revealing his true thoughts, so he changed the subject and said, "Then have you decided what major you want to apply for?"

"Computer." Xu Xing said neatly.

He studied computers in his last life. According to his plan in this life, he will probably be very busy during college. If he chooses computers, many courses will be easier and will not waste his time.

Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui didn't have any objections after hearing this.

In their eyes, a child who plays with computers does not have much potential, but if he is a computer expert who can use computers flexibly, he suddenly becomes taller in the eyes of his parents.

After all, it is already 2012, and there are many stories of Internet tycoons getting rich. Even older generations like Xu Jian are familiar with them.

As for the college entrance examination results, Xu Xing is actually quite confident.

He was reborn when he took the last English exam. The first three subjects included Chinese, Mathematics, and Physics, and his results were still relatively good before.

To be honest, this point is just right, because if he were to do it over again, Chinese mathematics and physics would definitely not be able to reach the original level of the third year of high school.

And English is the only subject in which he has an absolute advantage after his rebirth.

He told Li Zhibin before that as long as the marking teacher was more relaxed, perfect scores would not be a problem. That was not just a casual statement.

Calculating the situation where 70 points in English in the previous life resulted in a 3-point gap in the first level, as long as Xu Xing’s English in this life can be above 140, his total score will be increased by more than 70 points!

They say one point can kill a thousand people.

Xu Xing killed 70,000 candidates in one fell swoop.

Kyoto University in Kyoto is definitely a no-brainer, but as a local candidate in Shanghai, this score may not be enough to get a feel for a 985 university.

But in this situation, Xu Xing couldn't explain it to his parents who were preconceptions about it. He could only treat it as a surprise after the results came out.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed first." Xu Jian got up from the sofa, looked at Xu Xing and said, "We will talk in detail after the results are out. You should also think about your future. Your parents can't pave the way for you."

It’s a lifetime journey.”

Looking at the backs of his parents returning to the house, Xu Xing leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought. In his mind, the two parents who were gradually growing gray hair overlapped with the parents who were now ten years younger. Only the smell was still the same.

But this time, the regret will not happen again.
