Lin An'an transmigrated into a book! She became the sickly supporting female character, the male lead's short-lived former wife. Not only was she fated for a short life, but after her death...
Chapter 237 Arrogance
Mrs. Zhao was very efficient. The next day she informed Lin Anan to go to the bedding factory next Monday.
Lin Anan agreed immediately and took advantage of the weekend to look at the fabrics.
The more you understand, the less clueless you will be when talking to others.
However, supplies were really scarce in that era. When Lin Anan arrived at the city center and visited Yongqian Building and Xiguan Department Store, there were only a few types of fabrics to be seen.
She stood in the fabric area of the department store, her fingers gently running over pieces of fabric of single color and ordinary texture, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
The fabric market in later generations was full of various materials and patterns. It was nothing like now, where black, white and gray are the main colors, and any slightly different color is very popular.
"Comrade, we have just received a batch of Dacron, all from Kyoto. It is very rare and perfect for making clothes. Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing that Lin Anan was well-dressed, the salesperson knew at first glance that she was of good condition. Not only was he enthusiastic, he also took the initiative to bring up new models.
"Okay, show it to me."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The salesperson deftly took down several pieces of Dacron fabric from the shelf, shook it gently, and displayed it in front of Lin Anan.
"Look at this fabric. It's very good. The color is bright and the texture is strong. The clothes made from it will not break even after being worn for several years. This is not something you can always get."
Lin Anan took the cloth, looked at it carefully, and ran her fingers over it.
One is purple, one is pure white, and one is beige. The colors are indeed good, and the texture is crisp and smooth, which is considered to be top-notch at the moment.
But this fabric is not suitable for making bedding, and it is too stuffy even for making clothes.
"Comrade, how much does this Dacron cost per foot?" Lin Anan asked.
"This is good stuff, so the price is naturally not cheap, two dollars and thirty cents a foot plus the cloth coupon."
Lin Anan frowned slightly. The price was indeed not low, but considering the quality and scarcity of the fabric, it was also within a reasonable range. Moreover, this was a retail department store, and the prices were specified by the bedding factory.
After asking and looking around, Lin Anan decided to take some cloth back with her since she would need it anyway.
Before she could speak, an arrogant female voice suddenly interrupted and said, "I want all these Dacrons."
Lin Anan paused, turned around and saw that the person coming was actually Tang Jingqiao...
Why is she everywhere?
Tang Jingqiao walked over with her high heels. She was wearing a brand new Lenin suit today, with bright makeup and a small handbag in her hand. She exuded a bold vibe.
Following behind her was Xu Tianyi, who looked speechless.
"I said I want them all, pack them up, why are you standing there?" Tang Jingqiao said to the salesperson impatiently.
He raised his eyebrows again and glanced at Lin Anan with contempt.
Lin Anan was even more speechless than Xu Tianyi. Didn't Chu Mingzhou say that Tang Jingqiao was going to be demoted? Why was she still jumping around here? It was really annoying just to watch her.
Lin Anan had no intention of embarrassing the salesperson, and she really didn't have the energy to argue with her, so she pointed to the other selected fabrics and said, "I just want these."
What she meant was that she no longer wanted these Dacron fabrics and had to give them away.
The salesperson's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Okay, no problem. I'll pack it for you right away."
Tang Jingqiao seemed to be looking for trouble. She walked up to the salesperson, put her bag on the counter, and said in a louder voice, "I told you, I want all these pieces of Dacron. Hurry up and pack them for me. First come, first served. Don't you understand? Do you need me to call your manager?"
As she spoke, she took out cloth coupons and a stack of banknotes from her bag and slapped them on the table. Her wealthy appearance attracted the attention of people around her.
The salesperson looked embarrassed. He looked at Lin Anan, then at Tang Jingqiao, and said hesitantly, "Comrade, this female comrade came first, and she gave way to you..."
"What do you want to give in? Do I need others to give in? I advise you to think carefully about who decided to buy the fabric first, and then see who paid first!" Tang Jingqiao snorted coldly and interrupted the salesperson.
"No, comrade...you are..."
Xu Tianyi glanced at Lin Anan, then hurried forward to hold Tang Jingqiao, and whispered, "We are not in a hurry. It's just a matter of paying. Let them pay first."
Tang Jingqiao pushed him away, "No, Xu Tianyi, are you okay? Who are you talking to?"
Xu Tianyi staggered after being thrown, his face darkened. He lowered his voice and said, "Jingqiao, stop making trouble. There are so many people watching. It's just buying a piece of cloth, but you still have to act so arrogantly. Who are you showing off to?"
Tang Jingqiao, however, refused to listen and continued to stand there bossily, as if she had entered combat mode in an instant.
Lin Anan took a deep breath. She really didn't want to have a meaningless argument with Tang Jingqiao in public and make herself a laughing stock.
So, she suppressed her anger and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Comrade Tang, I don't want to argue with you. If you are really in such a hurry, then you pay first."
After that, she turned around and nodded to the salesperson, "Comrade, you go and pay for her first. If possible, ask your colleague to help me pack it, I'm in a hurry too."
The salesperson nodded repeatedly, "No problem."
Seeing Lin An'an give in, Tang Jingqiao had a smug sneer on her face, and deliberately said loudly to Xu Tianyi: "Look, others are much more tactful than you."
Xu Tianyi took a deep breath and endured it, but the impatience in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Lin Anan pretended not to hear and waited for another salesperson to come and pack the things. After paying the money and taking the fabric, she quickly walked out of the department store.
As soon as she left, Tang Jingqiao kept talking.
"What are you looking at? Is Lin Anan pretty? One or two of them are like flies, they can't walk away when they see her..."
"Xu Tianyi, you have a partner, you won't forget it, right? Besides, I, your blind date partner, am standing in front of you. Do you want me to tell the truth to my dad?"
"you……"
Xu Tianyi was so angry that he was stuck.
"Lin An'an is Gu Yan's patient. She is in very poor health. If you make trouble for no reason and cause her to become ill, do you know the consequences?"
At this time, Xu Tianyi still tried to reason with her.
But will Tang Jingqiao listen to him?
"You men are really a bunch of idiots. You come up with all these high-sounding reasons, but in fact you are just interested in that bitch.
I see you are not familiar with her, right? Are you so worried about her health? Sick, sick, if she is really that sick, she should not be a burden to others, it would be better for her to die!"
When Xu Tianyi heard this, his face turned pale instantly and he looked at Tang Jingqiao in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that such vicious words would come out of her mouth.
Tang Jingqiao didn't care about his reaction at all. She raised her chin and looked at Xu Tianyi provocatively, as if waiting for him to continue to quibble.
