After seeing the three women off, Jiang Hai squeezed into the crowd to go to Ye Beiping.
Just then, Ye Beiping was receiving a male customer and personally helping him try on leather shoes.
Even from a distance, Jiang Hai could smell a strange odor, but Ye Beiping acted as if nothing was wrong, smiling as he helped his customer put on his leather shoes.
The male customer was in his fifties, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a Zhongshan suit.
Seeing Ye Beiping in front of him, he smiled and said, "Young man, don't you think your feet smell?"
"Um?"
Ye Beiping then realized that the customer was talking to him, and replied with a smile: "Whose feet don't smell when they sweat? Does that mean we won't sell shoes? We're in business, making money is our priority, but of course, we have to make money with a clear conscience. Customers are more willing to spend money if they feel at home, right?"
His words resonated with the surrounding customers, who nodded in agreement.
They had initially frowned at the strange smell, but after listening to Ye Beiping's words, they felt much better about the store. They were no longer hesitant when choosing things, afraid that someone would criticize any of their bad habits.
This is also because the public is afraid of those people in state-run shopping malls.
Go up there and ask if you can afford this thing. If you can't, don't touch it.
What's wrong with you? Why are you asking me all these questions? Are you still going to buy it or not?
Oh dear, this is very expensive. If you can't afford it, don't bother looking at it.
...
Such condescending attitudes have given many people a very bad impression of state-owned department stores. It's not uncommon to see staff arguing with customers, and no one seems to care.
Even if you call the police, they just say, "Don't you know where you are? Don't cause trouble."
Because it has the "national" part in its name, many customers swallow their anger, but there are some things they have no choice but to buy there.
Ye Beiping didn't pay attention to the attitude of the people around him, and helped the middle-aged customer sitting there to his feet.
They led the other person to a mirror.
Looking at the leather shoes in the mirror, the middle-aged customer smiled slightly: "Not bad, but the quality isn't very good."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Soon, everyone around who heard this turned to look. Tang Xiaolong, who was busy at the cashier, also noticed the commotion and came over to hear what was said.
I was about to confront them, but they said their leather shoes were of poor quality. Wasn't that just deliberately causing trouble?
It might be someone sent by a competitor.
Ye Beiping quickly moved aside, blocking Tang Xiaolong's murderous face, and replied with a smile, "Uncle, if you're talking about quality, you get what you pay for. This is a common consumer area. You can't expect us to starve if we buy a pair of leather shoes for a dozen yuan. You can't expect all the workers at the Jiangnan Leather Factory to starve, can you?"
“Our store is called Xtep. These shoes are just an agency product, and they are also to help the workers of Jiangnan Leather Factory receive their wages as soon as possible. The shoes you buy are not only a necessity, but also an aid to Jiangnan Leather Factory. They satisfy your own needs and help others. It’s a win-win situation.”
He paused, then said with great confidence, "But I can assure you, as long as you don't puncture your shoes with nails or wear them to climb mountains every day, they'll still be very difficult to wear out. After all, Jiangnan Leather Factory is a state-owned factory, so the quality is guaranteed."
His words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence.
In particular, satisfying one's own needs is helping others, just like buying a lottery ticket. Spending two yuan buys you a chance, and it's also a donation to charity.
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile after hearing this.
He noticed that the people around him weren't very friendly, as if they had been influenced by Ye Beiping's words and were now holding a grudge against him, the guest who had raised the question.
This made him blush with embarrassment. When had he ever been looked at like that by so many people? Before, everyone had always been very polite to him wherever he went.
However, knowing he was in the wrong, the middle-aged man forced a smile, looked at the shoes in the glasses, and said, "Okay, these are the ones. Young man, take me to pay."
"Okay." Ye Beiping still smiled, as if he had forgotten what had just happened.
After being led to the cashier, the young girl said, "18 yuan."
This made the middle-aged man glance at his leather shoes again, and he asked in surprise, "How much? Young lady, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"
Reminded of this, the little girl recalculated and said the number again: "18 yuan."
Seeing how certain the young woman was, the middle-aged man pulled out two ten-yuan bills from his wallet, but his brows furrowed slightly, as if something was amiss.
After paying the bill and receiving the two yuan change, the middle-aged man was about to leave when Ye Beiping stopped him.
He thought either the store wouldn't let him leave, or the bill had been miscalculated.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping's words stunned the middle-aged man.
"Uncle, we also have a lucky draw here. Anyone who buys something can participate."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow.
These leather shoes were already more than half the price of those in state-run department stores, and now there's even a lucky draw!
He even doubted whether Ye Beiping knew how to do business, and wondered if doing business this way was just a way to make money.
Of course, Ye Beiping was unaware of the other person's thoughts, and instead guided him to the raffle box at the door.
"Uncle, go ahead and smoke."
Just then, Jiang Hai was about to step forward, but seeing that Ye Beiping was busy, he stood still and did not go forward.
Without hesitation, the middle-aged man reached into the raffle box and took out a folded piece of paper.
He opened the paper in full view of everyone, and it read: Second Prize.
