She once said, “Selling clothes is also selling the feeling, we must understand the life and habits of the consumer, if she is smiling and her eyes twinkled with happiness, so now she is willing to try. This is why every time I see some anxiety woman entered, we will chat with her first, excepted her happiness tuning out”. That’s it! Taking an fascinating occupation is necessary to make others feel the same too.

However, there is no any course about the major in China at that time. In her eyes, it was a chance to go abroad to learn. Now she is an excellent buyer with passion for fashion and culture and has the sensibility to grasp the fashion trend accurately.
