"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I offended you just now, comrade, please give me another chance, I promise to serve you well!"

When Jiang Qiaoqiao asked this question, the saleswoman panicked and apologized profusely.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

She really didn't intend to pursue the matter.

She simply felt that this salesperson was flexible and adaptable, able to adjust her emotions quickly, apologize to customers, and soothe them, making her a rare sales talent.

She thought about finding out her name, hoping that if she opened a shop in the provincial capital in the future, she might be able to poach her.

Seeing the saleswoman's flustered appearance, Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly understood why she was so panicked.

This department store isn't state-owned, and these sales clerks don't have guaranteed jobs.

If she asks for her name and then files a complaint against her, she could have her wages docked at best, or even lose her job at worst.

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't complain about you."

"Thank you, thank you, comrade," the sales clerk said repeatedly.

"No need for thanks, and I don't need you to pick out clothes for me today. Comrade Liu, could you please introduce them to us?" Jiang Qiaoqiao said politely.

"Me?" Liu Jun was somewhat incredulous.

Deng Hongying gave Liu Jun a warning look and quickly said, "Comrade, Liu Jun has only been working here for a couple of days. She doesn't know much about fabrics and styles yet. Maybe I should..."

She figured that since Jiang Qiaoqiao wasn't complaining and showed no signs of anger, she must be a gentle person. If she said a few nice words, the business deal would still be hers.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Qiaoqiao, who had just been all smiles, suddenly turned cold.

"Comrade, have I not been clear enough? I said I hope Comrade Liu Jun will introduce us." Jiang Qiaoqiao's tone was cold, and her aura was imposing.

Deng Hongying knew that she had misjudged Jiang Qiaoqiao again.

She wasn't angry or embarrassed, and quickly said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Junjun, you can serve these two comrades."

Liu Jun was indeed not very familiar with the job. Several times when he was introducing the fabric and style of the clothes, he got stuck and had to ask Deng Hongying several times.

Although Deng Hongying looked disgusted and impatient, she still taught Liu Jun everything she was supposed to.

Jiang Qiaoqiao had been observing the two of them and had secretly made a mental note of them.

Finally, Huo Beixiao bought two suits and one Zhongshan suit, while Jiang Qiaoqiao also bought two georgette dresses.

After they left, Liu Jun thanked Deng Hongying somewhat shyly, "Sister Hongying, thank you so much for earlier. How about you keep the commission for this order?"

Their department store is a private entity, unlike state-owned enterprises.

Their wages are not fixed, but rather a system of base salary plus commission.

Deng Hongying was applying eyeshadow behind the counter when she heard this. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you think I need your two commissions?"

After buying the clothes, Jiang Qiaoqiao prepared to leave the department store.

But Huo Beixiao called out to her, "Wait a minute."

She turned around and saw Huo Beixiao standing in front of the watch counter.

She walked over, and Huo Beixiao's gaze lingered on her slender, fair wrist.

The sales clerk was also very shrewd; seeing Huo Beixiao's expression, she immediately knew that he wanted to buy a watch for Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Comrades, you can take a look at these two watches. They are both new women's watches imported from abroad. This gold watch has a retro design, while this silver watch has diamonds set on the dial, making it dazzling when it reflects the sunlight."

"Your hands are so beautiful, you'd look good wearing either one."

Huo Beixiao's gaze swept over the two watches recommended by the salesperson, but he did not show any particular interest.

Instead, their gazes were drawn to the area where couples' watches were displayed.

The salesperson immediately brought out several more couple watches to show them, "Sir, if you're looking to buy couple watches, I highly recommend these..."

Huo Beixiao turned to look at Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, is there anyone you like?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao's gaze fell on the simplest gold watch among them. The men's watch was dignified and sophisticated, while the women's watch was exquisite.

"Try this."

After she made her choice, the salesperson immediately helped her try it on.

The beautiful gold color paired with her fair and slender wrists made her look even more beautiful.

"It looks great! This is the one." Huo Beixiao immediately made the decision.

Jiang Qiaoqiao hadn't expected Huo Beixiao to make such a hasty decision about buying something so expensive, and subconsciously asked, "Don't you want to try yours on?"

"I don't need to try," Huo Beixiao said with tender eyes. "What you like, I like too."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

Where did the cold-hearted, aloof, rough, and wooden man I was promised to be?

She was a little embarrassed by how easily he could say such cheesy things.

The sales clerk looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with envy and said, "Comrade, your husband is so good to you. Tell me secretly, which direction should I kowtow to in order to find such a good husband?"

Faced with the sales clerk's teasing, Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled politely, "Limited edition worldwide, only one of its kind."

The sales clerk quickly helped them wrap up the pair of watches.

Upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, Huo Beixiao couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

After buying the watch, Huo Beixiao stopped again as he passed the jewelry counter.

Jiang Qiaoqiao noticed that his gaze fell on the various diamond rings in the display case.

Finally, he said to the sales clerk, "Could you please bring out the largest diamond ring for me?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao estimated that the diamond was at least five carats, a veritable pigeon egg.
