In order to save the tram fare, Caroline walked all the way back to Van Buren Street. Although the distance was not far, she walked slowly because she stood for too long during the day, and it was almost seven o'clock when she got home.

Minnie left stew and bread for her in the kitchen.After eating hastily, Caroline opened the picture album about hats.

She was the only one left in the living room, and the dim light from the kerosene lamp made her drowsy.

In order to concentrate, she had to stand up, like a primary school student learning how to read, pointing to the pictures and words in the album line by line.

Fortunately, this book is not too complicated as an introduction for employees.

The booklet has [-] to [-] pages, mainly writing about the types of common men's and women's hats, the trend of hats in recent years and some matching rules.Some content with pictures is easier to understand and easier to remember.The more troublesome thing is the matching of hats, some of which are very abstract. If Caroline hadn't memorized all the styles of hats in the store during the day, she might not understand what these "matching guides" are talking about.

What makes her happy is the men's hat section.Max Department Store separates men's and women's hats into different stores, so Caroline doesn't have much chance to observe and study men's hats today.She thought this part would be more difficult to read, but found that men's hat styles are limited, and it is not popular to make a fuss about hat decoration. It is basically a simple experiment in color and material on bowler hats and fedora hats. It didn't take long for Caroline to remember the change.

Today, hats are considered a necessity in this society. If you don’t wear a hat on the street, both men and women will be considered impolite. Even a poor girl like Caroline can’t go out without a hat.This custom directly promoted the prosperity of the hat industry in Western society.

Many fashion trends during this period came from France, especially women's hats. Therefore, the fashion industry presents a typical "French flamboyance", which is quite popular among ladies.Huge bows, combined with lace and ribbons to make the main decoration of the hat, clusters of bright feathers decorate the corners, Caroline even saw an illustration of a sailing ship model on the hat for decoration in the album, it is simply amazing People are dumbfounded.

What's interesting is that while many people dislike the trouble of such exaggerated decorations, they are always chasing "walking at the forefront of fashion". Caroline heard a customer secretly complaining this afternoon, but she still bought it under Vivienne's recommendation. A newly arrived hat.

When it was nearly ten o'clock, Caroline finally couldn't bear to sit on the bed and yawned a few times. Her tired body and brain were constantly sending signals to her that she needed to rest.

Unknowingly, Caroline fell asleep half-lying, accidentally dropped the picture album in her hand, and the unextinguished kerosene lamp flickered, casting a blurred shadow on the wall.

In the next few days, Caroline maintained this high-intensity work and study state.She asked Minnie to wake herself up at 05:30 every day, and then she would read and recite the picture book after waking up. In order to ensure her health, she would also do stretching exercises when reciting in the morning and evening. She would mutter alone at dinner.

With Caroline's efforts, although the lack of sales experience cannot be made up in a short time, she will soon be able to fluently introduce various products to customers who come to the store.

In the first few days of work, Caroline has been counted as Vivienne's assistant. It was not until after passing a rigorous inspection by Ms. Green that Caroline got the opportunity to receive clients alone.

Her first client was a young girl, about fourteen or fifteen, in a fashionable yellow dress, accompanied by her father.

The girl was a little shy, and at first she just turned left and right in the store, and she didn't respond to Caroline's recommendation.Her father stood at the door, letting her choose by herself, with a somewhat impatient expression.

At that time, Caroline couldn't figure out whether the girl wanted to buy it or not. She was worried that she would miss the customer's intention, and wanted to ask Vivienne for help, but she snuffed out the idea as soon as it appeared.Vivienne has her own customers, not to mention if she backs down when encountering a little difficulty, how can she prove that she has the value to be left by the mall?

After observing for a while, Caroline found that the little girl's eyes were mainly focused on the light-colored hats by the window, especially the light blue one in the middle.The brim of the hat was not too big, but the design was very delicate. It was wrapped with a layer of folds made of satin, and the white lace roses were meticulously sewn on it, and there were almost no traces of seams at the seams.

"Are you picking it for yourself? This hat is new for summer, and it's perfect for a young girl like you," Caroline showed her most gentle and patient side.

"It's beautiful," the girl answered after a while.

"You must try it. The light blue color matches your blond hair very well. You also like blue very much, right?" Caroline looked at the blue belt on the girl's new dress and asked tentatively.

The girl nodded.

Seeing that the girl had no objection, Caroline took her to sit down in front of the mirror, helping her try it on and chatting with her.The little girl didn't talk much, but she also revealed that she was going to study in other states soon, and today she came to buy some "necessities".

After trying it on, the little girl seemed very satisfied with the effect of the hat, but she didn't ask the price, but asked Caroline to put it aside first.After thinking about it, Caroline recommended several other light-colored ones for her to try on, and put all the ones she liked into cartons separately.

After trying on the hat, the girl looked at the gloves again, and none of the products she saw clearly stated whether she wanted it or not.After choosing back and forth for more than half an hour, I ran to the door of the store to find my father.

Eventually, she bought another hat with white feathers and a whole box (twelve pairs) of the same white lace gloves, in addition to the light blue hat she first tried on.

The girl's father didn't seem to care what his daughter chose. He just asked about the price, took out two banknotes from his wallet and handed them to Caroline, and left an address, saying that the store would deliver them directly to his home.

Holding two 20-yuan bills in her hand, Caroline couldn't believe that she had made such a big deal with a client for the first time.You must know that the daily turnover of a hat store is about 50 yuan on average.Her hands were shaking while filling out the form.

"Unfortunately, you are still in the probationary period and cannot get commission," Vivian whispered in her ear as she instructed her to fill out the documents. "When you become a full-time employee, you can get a commission based on a percentage of sales."

Caroline just felt excited. When she went to the counter to help the customer pay the bill, she sent the father and daughter out of the store. With the help of Vivienne, she packed the hat and gloves that the little girl had chosen into beautiful paper boxes. After packing, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"They won't come to return the goods, will they?" Caroline turned her head and asked Vivian.

"What to return?"

"Just... seven days without a reason to return the goods?" Caroline laughed out loud after she finished speaking.

"What are you thinking about? Unless there is a problem with the product, once it is sold, it will not be returned. And our Meisi products will not have problems! Don't make mistakes in front of customers in the future," Wei Wei Wei'an tapped Caroline's forehead with her finger, and couldn't help but smile too.
