This time, the female shop assistant didn't take long before she pushed open the door and walked into the room carrying a pure white gift bag.
The female shop assistant walked over to Guangyou, placed the gift bag and card reader on the table, and asked with a bright smile, "Little friend, would you like to pay or would you like that gentleman to pay?"
Guangyou gestured to the card in his hand and said, "Let me do it. I haven't spent my allowance for this month yet."
"Okay...okay." The saleswoman's smile twitched slightly. Compared to other luxury brands, this bag wasn't expensive, but it would still cost at least 250,000 yen.
The average monthly salary for a white-collar worker is around 200,000 yen, before taxes; the take-home pay is even lower.
The cost of living in Tokyo is very high. If you are frugal in all aspects, it would be considered very good if you could save 30,000 to 40,000 yen a month.
Having children increases the cost.
I'm struggling financially myself, so there's no way I can give my child a lot of pocket money.
Judging from what the boy just said, his monthly allowance must be far more than the price of this bag.
What kind of family is this? Do they own a mine?
Giving an elementary school student so much pocket money every month.
All she wanted to ask the boy in front of her was one question: "Does your family need another daughter?"
However, this is just a thought; I would never actually ask.
She thought about it again and realized that most of the people who could come here to buy things were not ordinary people, and it was normal for a few to come from particularly well-off families.
Watching Guangyou skillfully swipe his card and enter his payment password, the female clerk secretly sighed at the consequences of starting from a different point in time.
If life is a 100-meter race, then most people's children stand at the starting line, some from poor families stand behind the starting line, while those from well-off families are not far from the finish line.
It sounds cruel, but that's the truth.
Those from disadvantaged backgrounds need to put in more effort and seize different opportunities to catch up.
Those from well-off families can achieve, with just a little effort, what others would have to work hard for decades, or even a lifetime, to attain.
Like her, if her family were better off, she wouldn't need to work as a sales assistant.
Maintaining that smile day after day must be really tiring.
Having worked here for a while, I've naturally seen quite a few wealthy people. Plus, the sales associates for luxury goods are all pretty good-looking, at least with makeup on.
A small number of them succumbed to temptation and had unspeakable encounters with customers.
Just like Mika...
I wonder how Mika is doing now.
The female shop assistant rubbed her forehead, gently shook her head, and shook off all these random thoughts. A bright but somewhat disliked smile reappeared on her face.
Why worry about others when your own life isn't even fully settled yet?
Let's get back to work.
After tearing off the receipt, the female shop assistant smiled and handed it to Guangyou after confirming that everything was in order. She said, "Thank you very much for your purchase. Please allow me to wish you a happy life and academic success in the future."
"Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your career." Guangyou calmly put away the shopping receipt, picked up the gift bag, and prepared to leave. "Then I'll be going now, goodbye."
"Please wait a moment." The female shop assistant got up and walked to the other side of the table. She took out an exquisite jewelry box from under the table, then handed the jewelry box to Guangyou and said, "This is a gift for you. It's not very expensive, but it's a token of my appreciation."
"A gift?" Guangyou raised an eyebrow. Why not take a free gift? He reached out and took the jewelry box, nodded, and smiled slightly. He said, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll be going now. I have to go home to watch Kamen Rider. I don't know if I'll make it back in time."
At this point, Kōyū deliberately shook his head and sighed, looking as if he were upset about not being able to see Kamen Rider Natsumi.
"Kamen Rider... No matter what, he's just a kid. But..." A hint of envy flashed in the female shop assistant's eyes, "Kids have it so good, they don't have to worry about making a living, especially kids from rich families."
"Bye-bye." Guangyou only saw the female shop assistant smile at him and had no idea what she had been thinking in that instant. He waved to her and then prepared to go home.
"I'll see you to the door."
Coming to her senses, the female shop assistant quickly stepped forward to open the door to Guangyou's room, and after Guangyou went out, she walked in front to lead the way for him.
As the two approached the store entrance, Guangyou walked past the female sales clerk, intending to greet her and tell her to go ahead with her work and not to see him off. However, just as he was about to speak, he noticed that the sales clerk's expression changed slightly, and her eyes were fixed on a certain direction.
Following her gaze, Guangyou saw two familiar figures over there, a man and a woman. The former was a middle-aged man, while the latter looked younger and was wearing bright red lipstick.
"Aren't those two people? Judging from their appearance, the female shop assistant seems to know one of them... Oh well, what does it have to do with me? I'd better hurry home."
Guangyou glanced at the three of them and then looked away. The matter between the two of them was none of his business. He had already bought the bag and now he needed to get home as soon as possible, and on the way back he could buy some ingredients for making handmade chocolates.
So Guangyou turned to the stunned female shop assistant and said, "Sister, I'll leave it here. I can walk by myself from here."
"Alright then." The female shop assistant, having regained her composure, smiled and nodded to Guangyou, "Little one, please be careful on your way home."
"Um."
