She and Su Jinyue were both women, both the battalion commander's wives, so why was there such a huge difference? A single piece of clothing cost the other person over 800 yuan, yet she couldn't even afford to buy a piece of clothing over 100 yuan. How could she possibly balance this?
Ma Junfei took a bite of the braised pork and put it in his mouth, then asked casually, "How much is it?" No matter how expensive the clothes were, it would be good if they could cost two hundred.
"Eight hundred and nine." Zhu Shulan gritted her teeth.
"Pfft!" Ma Junfei snorted. "How much did you say? Eight hundred and nine?" Did he hear correctly? That was almost half his salary.
"Yes, it's 890. I saw it at the Friendship Department Store. It was so expensive I didn't even dare try it on." Zhu Shulan felt increasingly depressed. Her current job paid well, but she couldn't even afford a piece of clothing she liked. It was all because her man was useless!
"Impossible, Zhan Yihan doesn't have that much money. Eight hundred and ninety dollars for a piece of clothing, are you kidding me?" Ma Junfei looked unconvinced. He believed eighty-nine, but eight hundred and ninety would only be possible if he saw it with his own eyes.
"You don't believe me, do you? Take tomorrow off and I'll take you to see it. If it's not eight hundred and ninety, I'll eat my clothes." Zhu Shulan snorted coldly. She wanted him to see it carefully, not to think that he could spend all his salary.
"Wife, you're not going to buy it, are you?" Ma Junfei asked tentatively. If she bought a piece of clothing worth 890 yuan, he really wouldn't be able to sleep for several days. That Zhan Yihan was really something. There should be a limit to how much love he could give to his wife. Why would he buy such nice clothes?
"You buy it for me?" Zhu Shulan glared at Ma Junfei fiercely, stood up and walked towards the room. She wanted to buy it, but she had to be able to afford it.
Su Jinyue walked out of the room feeling refreshed. She had spent the entire night refining talismans, and now she had fully mastered the method of refining a first-level talisman.
"Sister Jinyue, you're up!" Han Bing put the watering can aside. She couldn't do anything else but help water the flowers.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. "Have you had breakfast?" On Han Bing's first day living here, she helped make breakfast, but it didn't work out and she almost burned the kitchen down. For the kitchen's safety, she and Qu Yingli strictly prohibited her from entering the kitchen.
"I've eaten. Sister Yingli made it." Han Bing felt a little embarrassed when thinking about what happened that day. She really didn't know that you had to boil eggs in water. If Sister Jinyue hadn't discovered it in time, the kitchen would have really burned down.
Su Jinyue nodded and said, "Are we going to the store today?" The store has been renovated and will open in the next two days.
"I'll be there in a minute," Han Bing said. She wasn't very good at doing things, but she was very good at accounting, so Sister Yingli let her manage the store's finances from now on.
"I'll go with you after breakfast," Su Jinyue said. She was leaving for the United States with the medical team in a couple of days, and Principal Chen had told her to rest well at home and prepare thoroughly for the competition.
"Okay." Han Bing responded happily.
When Su Jinyue and Han Bing arrived at the store, Qu Yingli and Su Yanxi were telling the new employees some things to pay attention to when eating medicinal food.
"When customers order food, you must not make random recommendations. You must base your recommendations on the customer's physical condition. Medicinal food is meant to nourish the body. If used improperly, it will have the opposite effect. Do you understand?" Qu Yingli said seriously. Medicinal food is also medicine, and it's not suitable for everyone.
"I understand." Everyone nodded.
"I have a booklet here. You should take a good look at it over the next two days. Remember its contents and don't make any mistakes." Qu Yingli reminded repeatedly.
Everyone nodded in unison, "Boss, we'll remember this."
Qu Yingli nodded in satisfaction and handed the booklet to everyone, "Okay, everyone get busy."
She turned to look at Su Jinyue and Han Bing, "You came at the right time. I plan to go to the mall to buy some clothes this afternoon. You can come with me." The weather is getting colder. Although she is not afraid of the cold, she can't wear too conspicuous clothes. She can't wear short sleeves in November and December.
"Okay," Su Jinyue replied. She planned to go and buy some suitable clothes for her master and Yihan's parents.
"I'm not going," Han Bing said. She really wanted to go, but it would be useless if she went because she didn't have enough money to buy clothes.
"I'll give you a month's salary in advance," Qu Yingli said. It was summer when Han Bing ran away from home. If she didn't buy clothes, she probably would have nothing to wear.
"I'm not going," Han Bing decided, shaking her head. She'd been eating and living at their house for the past few days, and now she had to use their money to buy clothes. How could she feel comfortable doing that? Although the money was paid in advance, it wasn't right for her to take the salary before she even started working.
"Okay then." Qu Yingli didn't force it. At most, she'd bring back one or two items for Han Bing. After spending the past few days together, she'd already come to think of Han Bing as a younger sister. She also had a younger sister, with a personality similar to Han Bing's, but her sister had been killed by an enemy. Although she'd killed the enemy upon returning from Tianyue Continent, she couldn't bring back her family's lives.
Zhu Shulan and Ma Junfei walked into the Friendship Department Store and came to the second counter on the right side of the second floor. She pointed to a mulberry silk shirt and said, "That's it. If you don't believe me, go ask the price." She said it was 890 yuan. Her husband refused to believe her, so she dragged him to see it. After he saw it with his own eyes, he had to believe it.
Ma Junfei walked into the counter half-believing and half-doubting.
When the waiter saw Ma Junfei, he immediately came up to him warmly and said, "Sir, are you buying clothes for your wife or as a gift? I can recommend something for you."
"I want to ask, how much is this shirt?" Ma Junfei pointed to the shirts on the shelf.
"Sir, you have a good eye! This dress is a limited edition in our store. There is only one left and the price is eight hundred and ninety." The waiter said with a smile.
Although Ma Junfei already knew the price, he was still surprised when he heard the waiter's words. "It's just a shirt, why is it so expensive?"
"Sir! The material of this shirt is different from ordinary shirts. It will look absolutely good when worn. It is very classy when paired with a skirt or pants. You will know once you touch it." The waiter said with a smile.
"Will anyone really buy such expensive clothes?" Ma Junfei asked in disbelief. His monthly salary plus subsidies only totaled a little over 150 yuan. If he bought this dress, how would he make a living?
The waiter was stunned for a moment when he heard Ma Junfei's question, then smiled and said, "Of course someone bought it. Nowadays, many people like to pursue quality."
