Chapter 50 Can You Afford It?
It was a small ready-to-wear store. The store was very quiet. On the streamlined and simple clothes racks, there were pieces of exquisite clothing displayed at random. They were all ingenious designs, elegant styles, and unique.
Xia Ling looked at them one by one, and she couldn't say she liked them very much. She was spoiled by Pei Ziheng in her previous life, and the clothes she wore were all 100% natural fabrics, with no trace of man-made fibers to be found. In this store right now, the clothes are as chic as they come, but the materials they use are a bit lacking. Natural fabrics are mixed with man-made fibers, which may be comfortable enough for many people, but for Xia Ling, who is used to wearing better materials. , can only make do with it.
But she knew that now was not the time to pay attention to these things. In any case, these clothes were already much better than the seasonal discounts she was wearing. She looked over one by one, picked out a light white knitted sweater with fine fringes, and reached for it.
Unexpectedly, another hand stretched out from the slanting stab, and snatched the shirt with lightning speed.
Xia Ling turned around, and saw an extremely beautiful girl, carefully putting on makeup, her eyes and brows were full of arrogance. Seeing Xia Ling looking over, the girl glared at her arrogantly, "What are you looking at? I want this dress." After saying that, she waved her hand and threw it to the assistant behind her, "Take it to the checkout and wrap it up."
The little assistant was obedient, took the shirt and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Xia Ling's cold voice.
"What, do you have an opinion?" The girl held her delicate chin high, crossed her arms, and said disdainfully to Xia Ling.
"I took a fancy to this dress first." Xia Ling felt that her temper had been much restrained in her life, but she still couldn't bear to be bullied to the point of being bullied.
The girl became even more disdainful. She deliberately looked up and down at her shabby seasonal discounted clothes and laughed: "Who are you? You went to the wrong store? Do you know how expensive the clothes in this store are? Can you afford it? Pauper." Just don't be ashamed, really. Xiao Li—why did you let everyone in?"
She dragged out the last sentence, but said it in the direction of the counter.
In front of the cashier counter, a young female teller raised her head upon hearing the sound. Her eyes fell on Xia Ling, and she could see at a glance that everything Xia Ling wore was cheap. I was afraid that all the outfits on her body would not be able to afford even one silk scarf in the store. Although she didn't show any emotion on her face, there was a slight disdain in her heart. What is this poor guy doing in the store? Doesn’t it lower the quality of the store? She was indeed careless just now. She was busy paying the bill and didn't notice that such a person sneaked in. She must be driven away as soon as possible.
Thinking like this, Xiaoli walked over with a smile: "Sister Bei'er, don't be angry. It's because I didn't treat you well. I'll give you an extra brooch later as an apology." Grab Xia Ling The girl in the clothes, named Li Beier, is a starlet and a senior member of the store. She often comes to the store to spend, and has sent Xiaoli a lot of sales.
After Xiaoli had finished pleasing Li Beier, she turned to Xia Ling, still smiling, with a hint of subtle reserve unknowingly in her smile: "Miss, do you need to buy anything? What is your budget? , I can introduce you to suitable clothes."
Budget? Xia Ling didn't know what the budget was, so Sister Maina just told her to pick four or five sets from head to toe. After choosing, she would sign the contract directly, and then sign with Tianyi. It would not exceed the budget. Xia Ling has always been insensitive to numbers, so she forgot to ask for the exact amount.
So, she shook her head: "I don't have a budget, I need to buy four or five sets for everyday wear."
"Ha, four or five sets," Li Beier laughed out loud as if she had heard some big joke, "Do you know how much this sweater costs? Let me tell you, it costs four to five thousand! The coat you are wearing is only How much is it? Forty or fifty?"
"Haha." The assistant behind her couldn't help laughing either.
Even Xiao Li, the smile on her lips widened slightly, thinking that this poor girl was really ridiculous. She looked at Xia Ling contemptuously and pityingly: "Miss, it costs tens of thousands of yuan to match a set of clothes here." The implication is that if you don't have money, get out of here.
Xia Ling frowned, and the anger in her heart was rising. Isn't this a dog's eyes looking down on people?
"I want that sweater, I took a fancy to it first." She said coldly, "It's only four or five thousand." If she hadn't been reduced to this in her life, she wouldn't have worn this kind of clothes before.
Xiaoli's face turned cold: "Miss, please don't be so messy."
Very good, is she acting recklessly? Xia Ling laughed angrily and said to Xiaoli, "Your ability to confuse right and wrong and that woman's shamelessness in robbing things are both amazing."
"You!" Xiaoli and Li Beier both changed their faces with anger.
"Kick her out!" Li Beier stamped her feet, "Otherwise I will never come to your store again!"
Xiaoli was shocked. This Li Bei'er was a big customer. If she didn't come, she would lose a lot of sales. Then the bonus would be...
"Miss, please leave." Xiao Li said to Xia Ling.
"Are you chasing away customers?" Xia Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Even if I want to buy clothes here, are you chasing away customers?"
"Stop pretending to be fat." In order to calm down Li Beier's anger, Xiaoli took off her hypocritical smile mask at the beginning and directly mocked, "How can a village girl like you deserve to buy from our store? Stuff? I think the thing you bought is fake, but you are actually here to steal it, so hurry up and get away, you are such a thief, you are really disgusting."
"Miss Li also thinks I'm a thief?" Xia Ling asked coldly.
"Isn't it?" Seeing Xia Ling being taunted by others, Li Bei'er smiled happily, "If you're not a thief, what are you doing here? If you don't leave, we will call the security guards, and you will be arrested at that time Throw it out of the store, tsk tsk, how ugly it is."
"Very good." Unexpectedly, Xia Ling smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Xiaoli and Li Beier didn't expect it to be so easy, and they were both stunned for a moment. Xia Ling put one hand in her pocket and walked toward the store door with a relaxed and calm attitude. However, before she took a few steps, she was stopped by someone.
"Miss, please stay." A gentle baritone voice.
Xia Ling didn't want to talk to him at first, but she was a voice control. This person's voice was so pleasant that she stopped in her tracks without realizing it. She turned around and saw a tall man of mixed race, about 1.9 meters tall, with a pair of deep and charming eyes, and when he smiled, there were dimples on his cheeks.
Xia Ling tilted her head and asked with her eyes.
The man came over and said, "Sorry, the teller in my store was ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Who are you?"
"Lucas."
It turns out that he is Lucas, the person Sister Mina asked her to find. Just now she was casually browsing in the store, and before she had time to find someone, she got into a fight. Now, the real owner finally came out.
