Before Liu Zi could make a further move, Zhu Zi, who was standing next to her, said nervously, "Madam, the silver jewelry counter will be here soon. What would you like to buy? Or who would you like to give it to? I can help you with some recommendations."
Liu Zi gave the beads a deep look, almost making the little girl lose her composure.
Then she turned around and looked in the direction where the shop assistants were gathered.
However, none of them looked at Liu Zi; they all pretended to be busy.
Liu Zi's lips curled slightly, and she already had a plan in mind.
She wasn't in a hurry to find someone to settle accounts with; instead, she turned around and slowly walked towards the place the bead was pointing to.
Zhu Zi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the guest turn around.
She had just started working and finally had a chance to earn a commission. Even if it was just silver jewelry, every little bit helps!
Liu Zi walked along the long counter from one end to the other, and then saw a small, hollowed-out carved bead in the pendant section.
How much stock do you have?
"Inventory?" Beads didn't understand.
"How many of you have the same style of this pendant?" Liu Zi asked again.
"Please wait a moment!" Zhu Zi immediately flipped through the inventory book next to the counter.
"We have three of this style in our store, and the branch stores should also have them." The bead compared the number on the silver clasp.
"Could you confirm for me? I need at least seven. Do you think you can get them?" Liu Zi gestured seven towards the beads.
"Seven?" Beads wondered if she had misheard. Was this lady buying them as gifts?
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll call the manager and ask."
"good!"
Liu Zi waved her hand dismissively and turned to walk towards the brooch counter.
The shop assistants, who had just been gathered together, felt uneasy when they saw Zhu Zi turn around and go into the back. Could it be that the person was dissatisfied with their service and asked Zhu Zi to complain on her behalf?
"Impossible. If Zhu Zi dared to do that, the manager would fire her first." The young saleswoman tried to remain calm. She was the top salesperson in the store, and the manager wouldn't fire her, no matter who else the manager fired.
No one spoke; they were all focused on Liu Zi.
To everyone's surprise, the manager actually came out a short while later.
He chatted enthusiastically with Liu Zi for a while, then took out a box from under the counter and let Liu Zi choose one.
Liu Zi was surprised to find that the jewelry store had such a pleasant surprise. She had originally intended to buy a few silver buttons to decorate her clothes, but she was surprised to find that the store had so many in stock.
Even the cufflinks are beautiful, some even inlaid with jade and gemstones.
"How do you have so much stock?" Liu Zi asked curiously.
"Well, to be honest, this is a batch of goods I purchased abroad a couple of years ago. The goods are of good quality, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't be recognized in China, so in the end, I had to sell them all." The manager said with a wry smile, this was one of the few times he had misjudged the market.
Liu Zi had some knowledge of jade and gemstones in her previous life, and she could tell at a glance that these items were jade from old mines in Myanmar, otherwise the color wouldn't be so perfect.
Although the saying goes that the poor wear gold and the rich wear jade, and people had just started to have some spare money, gold jewelry was still the popular choice for weddings at that time.
Of course, the jade and gemstone market is also rife with scams, which deters most people from trying it out for fear of being cheated.
Liu Zi wouldn't dare say she's 100% accurate, but she can tell whether something is fake or not.
"Manager, do you have any jade jewelry?"
"Yes, yes, please come this way." The manager excitedly greeted Liu Zi personally, while Zhu Zi became a helper in the back.
It's clear that jadeite is really hard to sell these days; the counter only has a few items of questionable authenticity on display.
The manager didn't say anything, but simply took out his keys and pulled a box out of the safe.
When the box was opened, Liu Zi felt like she was almost blinded by the light.
Layer upon layer, there are bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings.
Liu Zi also found a string of pearls inside. The pearls were full, white and translucent. Although they were not as big as jewelry-grade pearls, they were not small either.
Liu's mother, Xu Mei, is quite fair-skinned; she would look absolutely stunning wearing this string of beads.
Liu Zi carefully selected various styles of cufflinks and silver buttons for herself, as well as a pair of icy jadeite sets with floating green flowers. She also took away several pieces of gold jewelry.
As for the pearl necklace, she left it to Liu's mother, Xu Mei, and picked out a gold ring for Aunt Zhang.
"Manager, settle the accounts!" Liu Zi nodded in satisfaction.
The manager was all smiles. Today, he not only cleared out his stock but also made a big sale. He quickly asked Zhuzi to help pack the goods.
"That's 15,743 in total. Ma'am, will you be paying in cash or by card?" the manager asked, rubbing his hands together.
Liu Zi took out a newly issued bank card from her bag and handed it to the manager: "Swipe the card."
The shop assistants, who had been watching the commotion, were stunned. Was it really that easy to agree to?
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it had only taken 20 minutes from when they came in to when they left.
This bead is really lucky; everyone's eyes darted back and forth between the bead and the shop assistant.
Unexpectedly, the other party, who considered himself a top salesperson, was blind to the value of a product and handed over the huge order to someone else.
As Liu Zigang walked out of the jewelry store carrying large and small bags, she heard the whispers of the shop assistants behind her.
"If I had known, I would have gone up and greeted them; maybe this order would have been mine."
"Then why didn't you go just now? Didn't you call him a poor wretch?" someone nearby scoffed.
"Sigh, we're just not destined for that!"
Everyone watched Liu Zi leave, then turned around and saw the manager with a livid face, and immediately fell silent.
The jewelry store manager was naturally furious, but it had nothing to do with Liu Zi.
Liu Zi stumbled upon some good stuff this time. She had just examined it carefully and found that the manager was an expert with amazing eyesight; there wasn't a single problematic item inside.
Liu Zi feels more at ease buying things from stores like this.
It just so happens that she hasn't bought gifts for her parents and Aunt Zhang yet, so giving them jewelry would be a good idea. Even if they don't want to wear it now, it'll appreciate in value later!
Precious metals have been falling in price over the past year, and with jade currently at a low price, now is the perfect time to buy these items.
