Wei Mingshen looked at Su Xueli with a bewildered expression. This little girl seemed to know everything.
The salesperson, being straightforward, chuckled and said, "Young lady, you really know your stuff. But this material isn't made by us; it's from a wholesale factory. The cost of the material is high, so the selling price is also high."
Su Xueli, having been through it all, knows that even rats have their own ways of doing things. Salespeople in this era have their own tricks for selling things. They will add a markup to the price set in the store, and once it's sold, it's theirs.
Therefore, they said that even the actual price needs to be negotiated.
Su Xueli looked into the sales clerk's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is this really the price?"
The saleswoman's eyes darted around, but she still insisted, "That's the price. Miss, this is a department store, not a street stall where they overcharge. If you think the price is right, take it; if not, look around some more."
Why are you spinning around? This isn't the future; you can find clothes anywhere. Right now, this is the only department store in the whole city, and this is the only counter that has this coat.
Su Xueli didn't waste any words and deliberately said loudly to Wei Mingshen, "Let's go ask Manager Gao if he can give us a discount on this coat."
"What, wait! You mean Manager Gao?" the salesperson called out to them.
There was obvious tension in his eyes.
Su Xueli said, "Yes, we are friends with Manager Gao. Just now, when we came out of his office, he gave us a set of Spring Festival couplets and a box of pastries."
When the saleswoman saw that it was indeed a New Year's gift from the department store to the workers, she panicked and grabbed Su Xueli, saying, "Little sister, little sister, don't ask Manager Gao anymore, I can give you the lowest price."
Su Xueli asked, "What's the price?"
The sales clerk put his mouth close to her ear and said, "125 yuan."
Su Xueli gasped. "Big sister, you're really ruthless!"
But this price should be the actual price, Su Xueli readily said, "I'll buy it."
125 is a huge sum of money these days!
So when she bought that coat and handed it to Wei Mingshen, he looked at her with some excitement in his eyes. He had never worn such an expensive coat before.
Su Xueli smiled as she looked at his "worthless" appearance. In his past life, he drove a car worth millions and had a watch worth hundreds of thousands.
Carrying the clothes, Wei Mingshen still felt bad and said to Su Xueli, "Really, you insist on buying such expensive clothes. When will you ever earn it back?"
It's really unnecessary for you to spend so much money on clothes for me. I'd look good even in a burlap sack; it's not worth wearing such expensive clothes.
Su Xueli glanced at him and said what she really thought: "You look better in this outfit."
Wei Mingshen blinked his charming eyes and asked her, "Why are you making me dress so nicely? What if you can't resist falling in love with me?"
Su Xueli gave him a deep look, then smiled slightly, "No."
But it's almost Chinese New Year, and Su Xueli wouldn't neglect herself. She had to buy herself a new outfit to please herself and also to bring good luck.
But since she was getting married, she had already bought new clothes for her family. She decided to buy a dress to wear after the New Year and into the spring, so she slowly looked around in the women's clothing section.
There weren't many clothes to choose from back then; there were probably only a few styles, but some were simple and elegant.
Su Xueli has her eye on a beige polyester suit that she can wear in the spring.
"Hmm, it looks good, it suits you, give it a try." Wei Mingshen also took a liking to it.
It's good, but women's tops in this era also have shoulder pads, which looks strange to her from a later perspective.
But she had no choice but to take it to the back for the interview.
"Yes, it looks good." Wei Mingshen said sincerely as he looked at her.
She already had a slender figure, and wearing this fitted suit made her figure even more curvaceous and graceful.
"How much?" Wei Mingshen asked impatiently.
