Manager Gao was taken aback for a moment, but understood when he saw Su Xueli smile.
He pointed at her and said in an elder's tone, "Your little girl is the most naughty; you scared me half to death."
Su Xueli smiled and said, "The New Year is almost over, so I've come to see how my straw weaving is selling so I can prepare to start work again."
Manager Gao said excitedly, "Let's get started! I'll give you a reward if you start working quickly."
"What award?" Su Xueli asked expectantly.
Manager Gao smiled and said, "A set of high-quality women's clothing."
He then took out a picture of a garment. He said, "This is a spring collection produced by a southern clothing factory that the department store has recently partnered with. It's the latest style, and I'm sure Miss Sherry will like it."
Su Xueli immediately recognized it as a mid-length trench coat with a belt. Even in later generations, there were improved versions of this style, which were very beautiful.
"I like it, thank you, Manager Gao."
Manager Gao smiled and said, "Then start work early and come pick up this garment with your straw bag."
Su Xueli rubbed her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I started working on this dress early just for this dress, hehe."
"Haha, then I'll be waiting."
"Oh, by the way, Miss Shirley, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor." Manager Gao said shyly.
Su Xueli readily replied, "Just tell me what's on your mind. I'm easy to talk to."
Manager Gao smiled shyly and said, "Isn't your second aunt my classmate? We met and had dinner together the other day, and we even chatted about the good old days..."
"Manager Gao, can't you just say what you have to say?" Su Xueli interrupted him and asked.
Manager Gao gave an awkward laugh and said, "Well, I've also found a piece of clothing I like from that new garment factory we're working with. It would be perfect for my classmate. Could you bring her along next time?"
Su Xueli smiled and said, "I've already brought her with me this time."
Manager Gao's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked impatiently, "Where...where is she? Take me to her quickly."
Su Xueli said, "She's just strolling around downstairs."
"Oh dear, I'll go find her right away." Manager Gao grabbed his suit jacket from the back of the chair and ran out.
Su Xueli asked slowly, "Do you know which floor she's on, which area?"
He turned around hurriedly and asked, "Which floor? Which area?"
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Come with me."
"Susu." Manager Gao practically ran towards his second aunt.
Su Xueli stopped watching from behind, suppressing her laughter.
"Why did you come down? Isn't this during your work hours?" his second aunt asked as soon as she saw him.
"It's alright, it's alright. I have to look around while I'm at work. Have you finished looking around? If you're done, come to my office for tea."
"I'm not going. I'll wander around some more," my second aunt refused.
Manager Gao glanced at his watch and said, "That's fine then. You can browse around. I'll be off work in forty minutes. I'll treat you to dinner."
Auntie thought that since he had treated her last time, this would be a good opportunity for her to reciprocate, so she agreed.
Manager Gao was as happy as a child, grinning as he said, "Then you guys go ahead and shop, I'll come find you later. By the way, where shall we meet?"
Seeing his delighted expression, like a child who had found a piece of candy, his second aunt said, "How are you going to find us in such a big place? We'll come to your office to find you after we've finished exploring."
