“Uh…” Su Niannian parted her lips slightly and let out a soft sigh with a hint of hesitation.
She secretly pondered that the manager in front of her was talking incessantly, and his seemingly sincere and enthusiastic way of introducing himself almost fooled her.
His eagerness was probably because he wanted to sell his own clothes.
It's true that buyers are never as shrewd as sellers!
She was amazed by the manager's intense desire and eloquence in promoting his own clothing.
If she continued listening, she would begin to feel sorry for the clothes and fall into the consumer trap woven by the merchants, genuinely wanting to take them all home.
Her last shred of reason told her that she had to stick to her principles and not let herself be misled.
"I know my husband loves me and wants to buy me pretty clothes, and I'm willing to wear them for him. However, I already have a lot of clothes at home that I don't wear, and if I buy too many, there won't be any room to store them."
Also, these clothes aren't the only things that can express my feelings; other things can too. Right, honey?
After saying that, she winked playfully at Si Lijue, and even wrapped her arms around his arm, trying to get him to cooperate with her acting.
Si Lijue saw through her little scheme and nodded with a smile, "Yes, my wife is right. Let's just use the clothes she tried on before, and leave the rest for now."
Upon hearing Su Niannian's words, the manager inwardly cried out in alarm. He moved his lips a few times, about to say something, but he watched helplessly as President Si and his wife, working in concert, returned all the clothes in his store.
Thinking about all those hard-earned banknotes and the opportunities for promotion and salary increases that slipped away right before my eyes, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ache.
He tried to persuade Su Niannian again, hoping she would change her mind and buy the rest of the clothes in the store. If that didn't work, she could pick out a few more.
Then, looking anxious, he said, "Mrs. Si, are you sure you don't want any other styles?"
These are all the latest styles. You won't find another store on the market that offers styles that are close to the world's trends.
Furthermore, we guarantee that once this batch of clothes is sold out, there won't be a second batch; it's practically a limited edition.
Any woman would be moved by these words.
Imagine being able to buy a similar limited-edition garment for the price of a regular piece of clothing—that would be such a great deal!
Although this is high-end merchandise, and a single piece of clothing here is not cheap for ordinary people, she is not an ordinary person after all, is she?
It's quite rare to get such affordable clothes; anyone with common sense would know how to choose.
Unfortunately, Su Niannian was only focused on protecting the family business for her eldest son and remained unmoved.
After hearing the manager's introduction, Su Niannian still resolutely shook her head and refused his offer.
She explained with a smile, "All the clothes in my wardrobe are the latest styles. With these eight outfits, I could wear one every day and still not finish them all."
Autumn is just a month away, and I'll need to replace my clothes again. What's the point of buying all these clothes and keeping them in the closet? I can't just let them sit there all day, can I?
That's the logic, but the manager sees it differently.
His face was full of worry, and he really wanted to say, "If you want to watch them sleep, that's fine too, as long as I get my commission."
He could only think about it in his heart; he didn't dare to say it out loud.
It wasn't that he was a coward, it was just that if he said whatever he thought, neither Si Lijue nor Su Niannian would want these eight sets of clothes.
Fine, eight sets it is. It's better than having none at all!
Worried that Su Niannian might change her mind again, the manager immediately said, "Madam makes a good point. Since you don't want so many clothes right now, we'll pack up the ones you've tried on immediately. Once the latest autumn styles are available, you can choose from them then."
He decided to serve Mrs. Si well, keep this big client firmly in his grasp, and play the long game to catch a bigger fish.
"That's enough for today!" Si Lijue took out his limited edition black gold card and handed it to the manager, then continued to instruct, "Have someone deliver my wife's clothes to the Si family home. I also need to accompany my wife to buy some jewelry."
"Yes, Mr. Si. Please wait a moment while I settle the bill." The manager carefully took the card and hurriedly ran to the cashier to personally handle their checkout.
Then, the manager respectfully returned the card to Si Lijue.
Si Lijue took the card, casually tossed it into his pocket, reached out and pulled Su Niannian away from the store, heading towards a jewelry shop.
When the two arrived at the store entrance, Su Niannian realized something was wrong and refused to go inside.
She took the man's hand beside her and said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, I was just joking. I didn't mean to buy these material things. Besides, I don't like wearing jewelry. Shall we go home?"
Si Lijue loved hearing her call him "husband." Every time she did, he felt his heart melt, filled with sweetness and warmth.
He looked at her affectionately and smiled, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look. If we like something, we'll buy it; if we don't, we won't, okay?"
“But…” Su Niannian wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Si Lijue, “Alright, be a good girl! That’s it, I’m in charge.”
Si Lijue put one arm around Su Niannian's waist and the other arm around her arm, and led her into the store without saying a word.
Before Su Niannian could even figure out what 'he has the final say' really meant, she was forced to go to the store to make a purchase without fully understanding what was going on.
When she stepped into the spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated jewelry store, her eyes were immediately drawn to the dazzling array of gold and platinum jewelry displayed in the showcases.
These dazzling jewels shone brightly, like countless tiny stars twinkling, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
She found herself drawn closer to the display case, her eyes fixed on the exquisite ornaments, a wave of amazement washing over her.
Each piece of jewelry is uniquely designed and exquisitely crafted. Whether it's a necklace, bracelet, or earrings, they all exude a noble and charming aura, as if they possess a magic that makes people want to possess them.
However, despite the breathtaking beauty of the jewelry, her remaining rationality reminded her that she must not be misled by its beauty and must stay true to herself.
That means she'll just come and browse around, and won't buy anything no matter how nice it is, so as to protect the family business for her son.
As long as she says she doesn't like it, I believe Si Lijue won't discover her true thoughts and won't be able to do anything about it.
I doubt he would force himself to buy it!
With that in mind, Su Niannian made up her mind that no matter how Si Lijue asked her, she would politely refuse in this way.
A sly smile crept onto her lips.
