âPlease wait a moment, Iâll take care of it right now. Iâll make sure to give you a satisfactory answer.â
âOkay.â Lin Yi nodded. âGo on then.â
Sun Xue straightened her expression and walked over to the Lenovo salesgirl.
âLiu Mei, pack up. Donât come to work tomorrow.â
âManager, I. . .â
Liu Mei was dumbfounded.
After working in the mall for so many years, she had never seen any customer except for those bulk purchasers from second-and third-tier cities deposit two million yuan in advance.
Unfortunately for her, she was seeing it today!
âManager Sun, listen to me. This is a misunderstanding. Give me a chance to explain.â
Sun Xue waved her hand impatiently. âThereâs nothing to explain. Pack up. You donât have to come tomorrow.â
If she didnât fire Liu Mei, she wouldnât be able to get her 20,000 yuan comission.
By comparison, it was much more practical to fire her.
âIâll pack up nowâ¦â
Lin Yi ignored Liu Mei and turned to the female employee of Huawei. âPack up the phone and computer for me.â
âOkay.â
Lin Yi used his membership card to pay with some of the 2 million yuan he had stored on it, and left after buying the things.
Lin Yi realized that the other benefit of the card was that there was a 5% discount. Although it wasnât as powerful as in Times Square, it was still beneficial as he would be paying a lower price.
After buying the phone, Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing upstairs.
Women were all beauty-loving animals.
Even Kong Jing who had just graduated from high school was no exception.
The dazzling array of fashionable womenâs clothes made her feel overwhelmed.
She felt like she could buy anything, but she couldnât afford anything.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that family factors could have a profound effect on a child.
Wang Lu and Kong Jing were both high school seniors.
However, their personalities were completely different. They even looked like people from two different worlds, even though in reality, they were the same age.
âAlright, Iâll take Jingjing around here. You find a place to rest.â
Knowing that Lin Yi didnât like shopping, Ji Qingyan didnât drag him along.
âThatâs sounds good. You two find a place to hang out. I donât want to join you.â
âAlright, Iâll call you later.â
Ji Qingyan left with Kong Jing. Lin Yi was bored, so he found an empty corner and started playing games with Sugar.
They played for about two hours before he saw Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing walking back with more than ten bags in hand.
âYou bought so many things in one go?â
âJingjingâs school starts tomorrow. I bought more for her so she can wear them in the future,â Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
âThatâs true.â
âIf my mom finds out that I asked for so many things from you, sheâll scold me when I get home.â
âWith your Brother Yi around, whatâs there to be afraid of?â Ji Qingyan said slyly.
âBesides, youâre going to college tomorrow. They canât control you even if they want to. Donât be afraid.â
âBut Iâm still embarrassed,â Kong Jing said quietly.
âI spent tens of thousands of yuan on these things. Itâs almost equal to our familyâs annual expenses.â
For Kong Jing, the two hours just now had completely changed her understanding of consumption. She also understood that fashion was not just a casual affair.
Without the support of money, one could never claim to be fashionable.
âFor you, this is a new beginning. Naturally, you have to show a new spirit,â Ji Qingyan looked at Kong Jing and said.
âOne must always maintain their confidence and not feel inferior. Otherwise, even if you get into a university like Fudan, you will never end up achieving anything.â
âGot it, Sister Qingyan.â
âThatâs right.â Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
âLook at your Brother Yi. He didnât graduate from a famous school, but thereâs an inexplicable confidence coming from his very bones. Look at him now, isnât he getting along just fine?â
Lin Yi rubbed his chin, feeling inexplicably confident. Those words sounded like they had an additional meaning.
âThatâs true.â Kong Jing said with a smile. âIâll have to learn more from Brother Yi in the future.â
âOkay, okay.â Ji Qingyan said, âLetâs go upstairs and have a look around. Since weâre already here, we can go shopping together.â
âSister Qingyan, it seems like the staff are about to end their shifts here.â
âItâs okay. We still have some time. Weâve bought everything we need to buy. Weâll just be browsing from here on out. If thereâs something suitable, weâll buy it. If not, weâll just go home.â
âOkay.â
They soon arrived at the fourth floor of Wanda Plaza.
Kong Jing realized that this was a place where luxury goods were sold, and the prices were absolutely dizzying.
âCome, letâs check out Van Cleef and Arpels,â Ji Qingyan said excitedly.
âI recently saw a new accessory they have. It looks pretty good.â
Lin Yi could tell that Ji Qingyan wanted to buy it herself, and that was why she dragged him and Kong Jing here.
Ah⦠Women!
The female store manager frowned slightly when she saw the three of them enter. She was a little hesitant to greet them.
âThe store is about to close. Why are there still people here?â
There were rules in the mall. If someone came to buy something before the store closed, they had to wait for the customers to finish shopping before closing the store. Otherwise, they would be punished.
According to their past experience, the customers who came here had to browse around would take at least half an hour before they confirmed their purchase.
And this was considered fast.
For example, in the Hermes store, the last batch of customers had arrived half an hour ago, and they still hadnât finished choosing yet.
In the end, there was even the possibility that they would not buy anything, so all their work would be in vain.
âSister, take a rest, Iâll go and greet them.â
The female shop assistant who spoke was tall and slender. She seemed to be very young.
When she spoke, a pair of dimples appeared on her face, making her appear a little charming and cute.
Her name was Jiang Nan.
âNannan, the store will close in ten minutes. Think of a way to get them to leave as soon as possible. Donât let them delay us from leaving.â
âThatâs not very good. No matter what, theyâre still customers.â
âYouâre part-timer, so you donât mind. But weâve been working here for years and we hate to see such customers, so hurry up and get rid of them.â
âOh, Iâll give it a try.â
Jiang Nan walked over to Lin Yi and the others, smiling.
âSir, Madam, weâre closing soon.â
âI donât think youâre closing yet,â Lin Yi said.
âThereâs still ten minutes left. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to choose anything in time.â
âItâs fine, thatâs enough time.â
Jiang Nan turned around and looked at his sister helplessly, as if to say that heâd done his best.
Jiang Yue shook her head. This little girl was not good enough. If she had known earlier, she would have gone there herself. She would definitely have been able to get the job done.
Now, it was too late to say all this.
Ji Qingyan looked around and spotted the four-leaf grass diamond pendant that she liked being proudly displayed in the store.
âHello, I want to ask, is there a discount on this pendant?â Ji Qingyan asked.
âThis is the new item that came out this year. There are no special offers for the time being.â
Jiang Yue shook her head. It was a necklace that cost 840,000 yuan. It was not something that could be bought on a whim. Therefore, there was no need for these customers to continue looking around and delaying her from leaving.
Ji Qingyan nodded. âI want two. Help me pack them up.â
