"Aunt Wang, how old is your Er Ya?"
Because I only saw her daughter from a distance upstairs last time, I couldn't confirm her actual age.
"I'm twenty-nine this year."
Old Lady Wang returned
"Could you get her to come to me in person?"
Jiang Shuya felt that if she wanted to work in a shopping mall, she couldn't be timid, and she couldn't be afraid of meeting strangers. She would have to deal with all kinds of people every day, so she had to have the most basic polite attitude.
Grandma Wang nodded repeatedly, then hesitated and said, "Don't tell my daughter-in-law that I came to see you today! Don't tell her that Er Ya went to work there. If she finds out, it might upset you."
Jiang Shuya thought to herself, "She's afraid of causing me trouble, yet she still came to find me. What is this old woman up to? Once her mother-in-law finds out, the whole Xixia Village will know. How can she keep it a secret?"
Not long after Old Mrs. Wang left, Wang Erya arrived. At first glance, she looked exactly like her older sister. She was not tall and was rather thin. Although she was the younger sister, her skin was rougher and duller. She was probably wearing her older sister's clothes, which did not fit her well. Jiang Shuya looked up at her and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will come with me to the mall. I will take you to see some things. Dress up and wear an outfit that fits you."
Er Ya kept her eyes fixed on Jiang Shuya until she finished speaking before she realized what was happening.
"Oh... okay, I'll come see you tomorrow." As he left, his eyes kept lingering on her, as if he was very curious about her.
The next day, Er Ya didn't come to the house to wait. Instead, she went to the bridge to wait. When she saw Jiang Shuya riding over, she awkwardly got on her electric bike. Jiang Shuya frowned, looking a little worried: "Can't you ride an electric bike?"
"Yes, but I'm not very familiar with it yet. I can ride slowly."
Er Ya was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Shuya noticed that she had obviously applied a layer of powder to her face today. Due to her limited makeup skills, it looked a bit unnatural. The color on her neck was noticeably different from the color on her face. She had applied lipstick, which added a bit of energy. She was wearing a navy blue fitted woolen suit coat, and because she was worried that she wasn't tall, she wore a pair of seven-centimeter high heels. It seemed that she took this job seriously, and her attire was quite appropriate.
The two rode slowly for more than half an hour before arriving at the mall. Not seeing Wen Qing, Jiang Shuya contacted Wang Tingting, who appeared in front of them in a flash.
"What do you want?" Wang Tingting asked.
Jiang Shuya noticed that she seemed to be in much better shape than before, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Which counter is short-staffed now? Arrange someone there."
Jiang Shuya pointed at Er Ya
Wang Tingting looked her up and down and asked, "Have you ever worked in sales before?"
"No, I worked in a factory."
Er Ya returned
"Oh, then you should go work in the factory! You'll need to learn how to sell things here, which might not be suitable for you."
Wang Tingting crossed her arms and said expressionlessly.
Er Ya looked at Jiang Shuya with disbelief and became anxious. What? She was being asked to go back to work at the factory? How could this be? It seemed like today was a waste of time. Her sister had lent her her best clothes and shoes, and even her cosmetics. What would she do if this didn't work out?
Jiang Shuya winked at her, and seeing that she was keeping her head down and not saying anything, she became a little anxious. So she walked over and whispered, "Hurry up and promote yourself! Say what you want to say. If you don't say anything, she will think you are not flexible enough."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Er Ya said to Wang Tingting in a bit of a panic, "Boss, I have no sales experience before. I will learn very hard, learn from others' strengths, listen to customers' needs, and help customers solve problems. I am very hardworking, and I will not leave work until I have done a good job."
Wang Tingting smiled at Jiang Shuya, shook her head and said, "Your friend is really interesting. He can't understand good or bad words. Never mind, I won't tease you anymore. Since you value this job, come with me!"
Jiang Shuya followed along to a high-end shoe store. Wang Tingting spoke a few words with the store manager, then called Er Ya over. The manager gave her several booklets to review and discussed some work-related matters with her. Jiang Shuya looked at the prices of each pair of exquisite shoes, making her hesitant to touch them. Remembering that she had other things to do, she went upstairs with Wang Tingting to pick up the goods. As they walked and chatted, they learned that Wen Qing had gone abroad for further studies.
"In the end, she still can't let go. She says she's going to study economics and management, but I think she has other ideas."
Wang Tingting said
"She probably didn't want to have any regrets. We don't need to speculate about other people's rights and wrongs. Just live your own life well, especially since she is your best friend."
Jiang Shuya returned
Wang Tingting's face turned somewhat ugly: "Now even you're putting me down like this, and I just helped you."
"I know she scolded you last time and you were upset. You shouldn't hold it against her. It's because she has high hopes for you that she pays so much attention to you. Now that she's not here, you must help her protect this mall. I don't think she'll treat you badly!"
Jiang Shuya patted her on the shoulder.
"Isn't that right?" Wang Tingting herself knew that her mother had been taking medication for years and couldn't do heavy work. Last year, she also had back surgery, and most of the money was paid by Wen Qing. Wen Qing came from a wealthy family and had never worried about food or clothing since childhood. She was cheerful and generous. When Wang Tingting was in college, Wen Qing gave her a lot of clothes and shoes that she no longer wore. Because the two of them were similar in size, or perhaps because she had too many clothes to wear, she sometimes let Wang Tingting choose for herself. After graduation, Wen Qing even arranged a job for her. Where can you find a friend like that? However, every time Wang Tingting accepted Wen Qing's gifts, her mentality became somewhat distorted. On the surface, she was overjoyed, but in reality, she felt very unbalanced. She hated being born into such a family and was even more jealous of everything Wen Qing had. Just like last time when Baby King opened, before the preparations, the major shareholders voted and argued fiercely. The mall's sales department was caught in the middle and eventually participated in the vote. She actually voted against it. Moreover, when the baby store opened, she ran away and didn't return for more than ten days. When she returned, Wen Qing scolded her mercilessly.
Seeing that Wang Tingting remained silent, Jiang Shuya said, "Don't be angry! You have no idea how envious I am of you for having such a great friend. One of your best friends is worth ten of yours."
"Okay! You have to treat me to dinner today. I helped your friend get a job."
Wang Tingting pouted
"Okay, no problem."
When it was time to ship the goods that evening, Wang Ziliang wasn't in a good mood. Jiang Shuya noticed that he had pasted the wrong shipping label: "No, you pasted it wrong. This code is wrong. It should be pasted here."
Wang Ziliang then came to his senses: "Ah! I'm so sorry! I almost made a big mistake. Luckily you checked it."
After adjusting the size to match the shipping label, Jiang Shuya noticed that he had become even darker and thinner than before, with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. She looked up and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
