Since she didn't have a stool, Nanqu went back to her room and brought one out to sit on. She didn't care what the girls were looking at, but she listened to their conversation.
After all, although Nanqu didn't spend any money or incur any costs for these items, each outfit here is a work of art meticulously crafted by artists from the Kingdom of Music, and the production cost of each outfit is very high. Naturally, Nanqu doesn't want them to be destroyed.
"Oh my god, the clothes here are so beautiful."
"Yeah, yeah, I saw it when I passed by before, but I didn't dare to come in."
"These clothes are perfect for taking photos."
"If I wore this outfit for a photoshoot, I'd definitely get over 100,000 followers!"
"Yes, yes, Rui Rui, you're a big internet celebrity. If you wear this outfit on your live stream, you'll definitely gain another wave of fans!"
As they spoke, the group began to select items.
"This looks good, this one looks good too, ah, why don't we try them all?"
The girl named Rui Rui was also tempted: "Mmm. I think they're all beautiful too."
She was about to take the clothes to the fitting room when Nan Qu stopped her, saying, "I'm sorry, you can't try on clothes here if they're not for sale."
Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, the girls' faces all turned ugly.
The two girls were a little embarrassed, but they didn't say anything because they thought it was the store's rule.
However, the others, who were very protective of their rights, immediately objected upon hearing Nan Qu's words: "How can your boss be like this? How can you not let people try it on if they don't want to buy it? Does that mean if it doesn't fit or look good, they have to buy it?"
"Exactly, how do we know if it's suitable if we haven't even tried it? What's the difference between this and forcing a sale?"
Nan Qu smiled and said, "Didn't you see the sign at the door when you came in? There should have been a sign on it."
Two of the girls had slightly unfocused eyes; they had indeed seen it, but they didn't pay it any mind.
"What you wrote is unreasonable; it's wrong of you not to let us try on the clothes!"
With her last ounce of patience, Nan Qu explained again, "My shop isn't an ordinary clothing store; it's an art shop. Every piece of clothing and decoration here is a work of art, and each one is incredibly valuable. I have the right to protect what's in my shop. I'm sorry, but if you'd like to see me, you're welcome, and tea and snacks are free. However, if you'd like to try on clothes for free, that's absolutely impossible!"
As Nan Qu said this, she noticed that several of the girls were already wavering: "Maybe we should just give up. These clothes are really expensive, and we can't afford to pay for them if we damage them."
But seeing the opportunity to become famous right in front of her, how could Xiao Rui bear to give it up? Gritting her teeth, Xiao Rui walked over and said, "Sister, I really like your clothes. I'm an internet celebrity. Look, I have tens of thousands of followers on Douyin. How about you let me wear a few outfits and shoot a few videos, and I'll promote you for free?"
Nan Qu refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry. These clothes of mine are all one set, and they are all for sale. If customers know that the clothes have been worn by others, they won't be happy."
Xiao Rui immediately objected: "So you mean I can't wear your clothes if I don't have money? If that's the case, don't blame us for reporting and complaining about your discriminatory treatment of customers?"
Nan Qu noticed a little girl behind Xiao Rui holding a phone and pointing it in their direction, but she didn't pay any attention and continued speaking:
"Suit yourself. If you're right, I'd rather close the shop than lower my standards. If you're wrong, this shop will never welcome you. If there's nothing else, you and the girl taking pictures behind you can leave. If you need my cooperation later, I will. Otherwise, goodbye."
After Nan Qu finished speaking, she went to open the door, making it clear that she was not willing to receive them. Originally, Nan Qu wanted to explain, but seeing that they were obviously trying to use her as a scapegoat to create a persona and gain traffic, Nan Qu instantly became furious.
The little girl behind Xiaorui wasn't taking pictures; instead, she started a live stream at Xiaorui's prompting.
She was already "starting a business" with Xiaorui, so she naturally knew that what Xiaorui needed right now was popularity. They certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
Fortunately, her live stream started at a convenient time. It happened right after Nan Qu finished speaking, when Xiao Rui accused Nan Qu of treating her differently. Because Nan Qu didn't explain in time, and since the viewers who had just entered the live stream were all Xiao Rui's fans, they naturally sided with Xiao Rui.
What? These days, big businesses still bully their customers? Xiufeng City? Which remote, backwater city is that?
[Exactly, I hate those restaurants that cater to customers based on their perceived lack of patronage.]
[Let's report them! Report every single shop like this we see.]
Of course, there are also people who are just there for the fun of it:
To be fair, this boss is quite good-looking. Even prettier than the livestreamer.
Is this some kind of new hype stunt?
These days, what won't people do to become famous?
Xiao Rui has done many live streams before, so she knows a thing or two about how to guide her audience:
Seeing Nan Qu's attitude, she knew that if she were really kicked out, the traffic for the day would definitely not be enough. So, she changed her approach: "Sister, I really like the clothes in your store, but they are all too expensive. I really can't afford them. Can I try them on for a fee?"
Nan Qu looked at Xiao Rui and suddenly laughed. But the laugh was sarcastic: "You call yourself an internet celebrity, and this is how you dig holes for people to climb to the top?"
Xiao Rui's face stiffened for a moment: "Sister, what are you talking about? I really love your clothes!"
Nan Qu was too lazy to deal with her: "I've already said, I don't like you, I won't sell you my things, you can leave now."
Seeing that Nanqu was unmoved, Xiaorui pouted, waved to the people behind her, turned off the live stream, and left with a grim expression.
Unexpectedly, the next day, when Xiao Ya called to ask about the day's events, Nan Qu learned that she had been framed.
All I can say is that this video is quite interesting. It says something like, "At first, my friend and I really liked this shop. Everything inside looked beautiful. We just didn't expect the owner to be like this. When we first came, he was serving tea and snacks, but as soon as he found out we didn't have money to buy anything, his face turned really ugly, and he just kicked us out."
Nan Qu explained to Xiao Ya, who felt it wasn't a big deal: "She's just a minor internet celebrity, she won't cause any major trouble. I've already arranged some filming for you, so try to get a feel for acting these days."
"Okay, Sister Xiao, thank you for your help."
Xiao Ya didn't take it to heart, but she never expected that this matter would escalate to a greater extent.
The reason is that the video was seen by Zeng Yu, who now drinks bitter medicine every day, the day after it was posted!
Upon seeing Nanqu being slandered, she was the first to object.
