"Achoo!" Shen Sisi sneezed, sniffed, and pointed to the pair of men's leather shoes in the cabinet.
"Hello, I'd like to take a look at those shoes."
The saleswoman glanced at Chen Sisi, who was dressed in drab work clothes with a patch on them. She looked like a poor wretch who couldn't afford anything. She thought, "Don't scratch her shoes."
"Be careful when you touch it, don't get my shoes dirty."
The sales clerk reluctantly brought over the shoes, staring at her as if she were a thief.
Seeing Feng Yanzhou beside her, Shen Sisi thought that the shoes were an apology to him, so she put up with it.
"I won't touch it, but can I try it on?"
"Wear them?" The sales clerk replied as if she'd heard the biggest joke in the world: "Don't even think about it."
"This is a new style in our store, made of top-grain cowhide, the leather is especially soft."
"Don't overextend yourself, or how will you sell it later?"
"Go, go, go... go somewhere cool and stay there." The salesperson picked up the leather shoes, showed them to her for a moment, and then turned around and put them back.
Shen Sisi frowned, her smile gradually cooling: "Is this how you treat your customers?"
The sales clerk said impatiently, "What's wrong with my attitude? People like you, there are at least eighty or a hundred of you every day, and not many of you can afford to buy anything. If everyone touches and touches these shoes and ruins them, who am I supposed to complain to?"
Chen Sisi was quite annoyed, but she still patiently said, "When buying things, you have to look at them and touch them. How can we know if we don't try them on?"
"Fine... I won't look at these shoes anymore." She forced out the words through gritted teeth.
These people who fawn over the powerful and bully the weak, and who treat others differently based on their status, are outrageous!
"Buy it or don't, it's up to you... If you don't want to buy it, then forget it..."
Their shop has no shortage of customers. In this era of supply falling short of demand, the products of the supply and marketing cooperative are highly sought after, and they never have to worry about selling them.
Feng Yanzhou was also successfully provoked, and his originally gentle eyes gradually turned cold.
Shen Sisi could swallow this insult, but Feng Yanzhou couldn't!
"Where is your Director Zhou?" Feng Yanzhou's gaze turned cold, and his sharp aura immediately rose.
When their manager was mentioned, the saleswoman visibly panicked: "You...you know her?"
Feng Yanzhou ignored her and insisted on seeing Zhou Ying, the director of their supply and marketing cooperative.
Soon, a middle-aged woman with fair skin, a round face, and a slightly plump figure limped in through the small door.
Who's looking for me?
Upon seeing Feng Yanzhou, she was visibly taken aback at first, then burst into hearty laughter: "Political Commissar Feng, what brings you here..."
Feng Yanzhou sneered, "Director Zhou, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have known that your threshold is so high. You divide your guests into different classes. Someone as poor as me can't even touch a leather shoe."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying's face turned ashen. Seeing the evasive look on the sales clerk's face, she was furious.
"It's you again! How many customer complaints have you received this month? And today you've caused such a huge mess. Apologize to Political Commissar Feng right now, or... you're fired!"
The sales clerks were stunned; who would have thought that this fair-skinned young man was the political commissar?
She thought he was one of this year's new recruits.
And the woman in work clothes is his wife from the countryside.
She bowed to Feng Yanzhou and Shen Sisi: "I'm sorry, I was blind and looked down on you, I was wrong..."
"You want to try these shoes, right? I'll let you try them on..."
She walked up to Feng Yanzhou with the shoebox in her hands, but he took a step back, creating a considerable distance between them.
"No, no, these shoes are so precious, made of top-grain cowhide, the leather is so soft, what if I stretch them out..."
The sales clerk nearly choked: "Leather products are elastic; they'll spring back immediately, it's nothing to worry about..."
As he spoke, he squatted down and reached out to touch Feng Yanzhou's shoes, which startled Feng Yanzhou, who took a few steps back.
"No, no, I can't handle that, let's find someone else..."
With a forced smile, Zhou Ying pulled aside the saleswoman and took the shoebox from her hand: "Political Commissar Feng, please don't hold a grudge against these young girls. I'll personally serve you..."
"How could that be? Let Director Zhou personally take the stage."
"Don't call me Director Zhou, just call me Zhou Ying or Sister Zhou." Zhou Ying tried to squat down, but she was trembling with pain in her waist and couldn't bend down at all.
Seeing this, Feng Yanzhou quickly caught her: "Director Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ying said weakly, "My back hurts. It's an old problem. It flares up whenever it gets cold. I can't bend down or straighten up. It's so painful."
Seeing that she was in so much pain, Feng Yanzhou didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he took the shoes from her hands.
"Alright, you should rest now. Let's take a look ourselves."
Zhou Ying sat down, supporting her aching back, and gently pounded her fists with her fingers.
Chen Sisi glanced at her, then took out a small bottle of her own medicated oil from her bag: "Director Zhou, why don't you try this medicated oil? It can improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain."
Zhou Ying stared blankly at Chen Sisi for a moment: "How much will this cost?"
"Let me try it for you, just a light press on your lower back, it's free..."
Upon hearing that it was free, Zhou Ying immediately dropped her guard: "Okay then!"
"Are you free now? I'd like to give you a few pushes."
Zhou Ying was initially quite wary, but the pain in her lower back became unbearable, and she began to waver.
This person came with Political Commissar Feng, so he's definitely not a bad guy.
Besides, with so many eyes watching, she wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded with this person by her side.
