“Xiaojia, what are you still spacing out for? Let’s go!”
Li Xiaojia’s best friend pulled her, about to walk into the store.
Li Xiaojia felt extremely resistant in her heart, her steps unconsciously shrinking back, her body trembling slightly, and a hint of awkwardness appearing on her face.
She tried to break free from her best friend’s hand and whispered, “Maybe we shouldn’t go in, it doesn’t feel right.”
Her best friend, however, was unfazed. She pulled her forcefully and said, “What are you afraid of? Let’s go in and watch the fun. They can’t kick us out, can they?”
Li Xiaojia could only half-heartedly follow her inside.
The moment she stepped into the store, Li Xiaojia felt the air around her thin.
Her eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at the exquisite merchandise and luxurious decorations in the store. Her hands unconsciously clutched at the hem of her clothes, wrinkling them.
She felt like Cinderella who had wandered into a castle, completely out of place with everything here.
The sales associates in the store merely glanced at Li Xiaojia and her best friend when they entered, then continued with their own tasks, showing no intention of greeting them.
A new sales associate was about to step forward to greet them but was pulled back by an older sales associate next to her.
The older sales associate whispered, “Don’t bother. They definitely can’t afford anything. You can tell they’re not our target customers. Don’t waste your time.”
The new sales associate was a little puzzled and whispered, “Their bags cost over ten thousand, and they’re all real. How could they not afford things in our store?”
The older sales associate scoffed and explained, “Truly rich people, even if they wear a piece of cloth, are confident and don’t care about what others think, just like the gentleman and lady who just came in.
But even though they are both wearing designer brands, their eyes are shifty. Don’t waste time serving people like that.”
The new sales associate nodded thoughtfully, “Thank you, Sister Liu, I understand.”
...
The moment Lin Yang and Hu Qian stepped through the store entrance, a sales associate in a black uniform with exquisite makeup quickly approached them, a brilliant smile radiating from her face, a smile that seemed to dispel the gloom of winter.
“Welcome! What would you two like to choose?”
“I want to buy a few belts for my father. Do you have any suitable styles?”
“Yes, yes, we do.”
When she learned that Lin Yang wanted to choose a gift for his father, a glint of excitement flashed in the sales associate’s eyes. She immediately turned and carefully brought out three mature-style belts from the display shelf.
She gently placed them on the counter, her movements as soft as if she were handling rare treasures.
“These three belts are our store’s bestsellers! The material is top-notch, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. They are perfect for gifting to elders!”
As she introduced them, she gently stroked the belts with her hand, her eyes full of admiration.
Hu Qian leaned slightly, carefully examining the three belts. She occasionally touched the leather with her fingertips, feeling its delicate texture, and then picked up the belts to inspect the details under the light.
Her gaze revealed professionalism and focus, as if she were conducting a rigorous appraisal.
“These three are all quite good. The design is simple yet grand, and the material is also superior.
However, what is uncle’s usual dressing style? I wonder which of these he would like.”
Lin Yang smiled slightly, “Wrap them all up!”
Since he didn’t know how to choose, he decided to take them all. Three belts wouldn’t cost much.
His father had worked hard his entire life, so it was only right to buy him some good things.
The sales associate’s already enthusiastic smile instantly blossomed even brighter, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if she saw a generous commission waving at her.
“Alright, you are truly too generous!
I’ll wrap them up for you right away, I guarantee they’ll be perfectly packaged!”
As she spoke, she skillfully picked up the wrapping paper and gift boxes, expertly beginning to package them.
Her hands fluttered like butterflies, and in no time, the three belts were beautifully packaged and placed in an exquisite shopping bag.
During the packaging process, the sales associate occasionally looked up, her face beaming with smiles, and said some complimentary words to Lin Yang and Hu Qian.
“You two clearly have excellent taste. Your father will surely love these belts.”
“You are truly so filial, it’s rare to see someone as generous as you.”
As she spoke these flattering words, she secretly thought to herself:
“This person is dressed so ordinarily, yet he shows no sign of discomfort upon entering the store. I knew he was a hidden wealthy person.
Today truly is my lucky day, encountering such a generous customer.”
She silently calculated in her mind that the commission from this sale would be enough for her to buy a long-desired dress. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards, and her service became even more enthusiastic and attentive.
At this moment, Hu Qian’s gaze was drawn to a suit hanging on a display rack.
It was a dark gray suit, its color understated yet elegant, and the fabric shimmered slightly under the light, indicating its high quality.
“Lin Yang, look at this suit. I think it would look especially good on you.”
Hu Qian’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled Lin Yang’s arm and said.
Seeing this, the sales associate immediately walked over quickly, her face still adorned with a warm, enthusiastic smile.
“You truly have good taste. This suit is one of our limited edition pieces.
It uses top-grade Italian imported wool fabric. This fabric is not only soft and comfortable, and extremely breathable, but it also has excellent drape, making it look particularly high-end when worn.”
As the sales associate spoke, she gently stroked the suit’s fabric, demonstrating its texture.
“And look at the craftsmanship. Every stitch is fine and even, hand-sewn by our top tailors.
Moreover, the design of this style is very classic, suitable for both business occasions and important social events. It will never go out of style, no matter when you wear it.”
The sales associate introduced it in detail, her eyes full of pride for the suit.
Lin Yang looked at the suit and thought that since he was now wealthy, he would inevitably have to attend some formal occasions in the future, so adding a few formal outfits was necessary.
So, he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll try it on.”
The sales associate immediately showed a joyful smile, quickly took down the suit, carefully held it in her hands, and led Lin Yang to the fitting room.
“This way, please. The fitting room is here. Feel free to try it on, and call me if you have any questions.”
The sales associate’s voice was full of enthusiasm and concern.
Lin Yang walked into the fitting room and gently closed the door.
He took off his casual clothes, picked up the suit, and slowly put it on.
When he fastened the last button, adjusted his collar and cuffs, and looked up into the mirror, even he himself was momentarily stunned.
The person in the mirror seemed to have transformed. Already handsome, he was now exceptionally dashing in this suit, and his entire demeanor became more mature, composed, elegant, and refined.
The tailored cut perfectly fit his figure, outlining his tall stature, and the dark gray hue added a touch of mystery and depth to him.
“Indeed, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.”
Lin Yang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Lin Yang looked in the mirror twice more, then pushed open the door and stepped out of the fitting room.
Hu Qian was originally chatting with the sales associate. Hearing the movement, she instinctively turned her head.
At that very moment, Hu Qian’s eyes widened suddenly, the smile on her face instantly froze, and she seemed to be rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Lin Yang.
Her heart rate suddenly accelerated, an unprecedented feeling surged through her, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
Hu Qian’s eyes were filled with astonishment and a stirring of affection. Her lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but she was momentarily speechless.
Her gaze was fixed on Lin Yang, as if drawn by an invisible force, unable to move away.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, everything around her became blurred, and only Lin Yang’s handsome figure remained in her eyes.
In her view, Lin Yang at this moment seemed to emit a unique glow, a glow that made her heart flutter, yet she herself was still completely unaware.
Just then, Lin Yang inadvertently turned his head, his gaze sweeping towards the store entrance, directly meeting Li Xiaojia’s eyes.
