Chapter 39: Shop Assistant Xiao Li

Although the old man was very loud, Xia Jinning still felt that he was quite friendly. However, there was a sign on the door saying "No entry for strangers", so she didn't feel like disturbing him.

"No, I won't disturb him. I'm going to buy a pen and then go back." Xia Jinning couldn't help but raise her voice.

The old man's mouth corners obviously raised a little when he saw this. Everyone likes a polite and measured little girl.

"Well, Xiao Li! Come on, introduce this girl and give her a discount!"

"Thank you!" Xia Jinning hurriedly thanked him.

It doesn't matter how much less money you lose. What matters is that you have received another piece of goodwill, which is always a happy thing.

Xia Jinning took two steps back and was suddenly stopped again.

"Girl, may I ask where you are from and how old you are?"

The old man knew that it was a bit presumptuous to ask these questions, but...

Xia Jinning was slightly stunned, "I just turned 18, from Nanshi."

The old man dimmed his eyes with a little regret, the age didn't match, and the place didn't match.

"Xiao Li, I have a connection with this girl, see what kind of pen she wants, and give it to her directly!"

"Goodbye, little girl!"

Xia Jinning felt the old man's sense of loss very clearly, and just now she almost thought... that she had met a real relative.

Now think about it, how could it be so easy for her to run into something that even Officer Chen couldn't investigate.

Xia Jinning followed the clerk Xiao Li to pick a pen. Nowadays, people basically buy things online, and it is difficult to slow down in the fast-paced life.

It's cold in winter and hot in summer, and there are always reasons not to go out, and Xia Jinning is the same.

Not to mention when she doesn't have time, but when she has time, she also wants to collapse on the bed, not wanting to socialize or go out.

She is becoming more and more independent, and in her last life, she has changed from a social bully to a social phobic.

Except in front of the camera, sometimes she doesn't want to say a word.

The clerk Xiao Li introduced it very well, from the origin to the craftsmanship of the Hu brush, with small stories in between.

The tone is soft and relaxed, very much like the unique tone of Jiangnan women, and the content is humorous, just like a good friend chatting.

Xia Jinning couldn't help but look up at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li blushed instantly and stuttered when he spoke.

"This one... has a pattern of auspicious clouds, which means good luck and happiness, and is the most suitable gift..."

"You have a beautiful voice!" It would have been

fine if Xia Jinning hadn't said it, but once she said it... Xiao Li couldn't even speak, and his face was red.

"Thank you, your voice... is so beautiful! No, I mean you are so beautiful!" Xiao Li's eyes flickered, staring at Xia Jinning intently.

This is a very impolite behavior, but... this girl is so pretty! Mom, she even complimented me on my nice voice!

"I want to pick a pen for my teacher, which one is suitable?"

"Is this one okay? This pen is named Taoli, which means it is very suitable. It is made by our store's most experienced master, Mr. Wang. He is a national intangible cultural heritage master, and all the pens he makes are reserved early. This

is a customer who paid a deposit, but it has been three months and he hasn't come to pick it up yet. Today is the expiration date, and we can sell it now."

The clerk Xiao Li directly recommended the best pen, completely forgetting that his uncle was also waiting for this pen.

After all, uncles... are not as important as beautiful girls.

Xia Jinning knew that this was a great bargain, and immediately said, "Okay, thank you so much! This is it, your recommendation must be right!"

Xiao Li felt dizzy and excited.

"How much is this pen?"

"Mr. Tang said it's free." Xiao Li recommended this pen because Mr. Tang said it was free. Otherwise, it would be too extravagant to buy it for more than 200,000 yuan as a gift.

"If it was an ordinary pen, I would accept it, but this one is not ordinary, I am embarrassed to take it for free." Xia Jinning was naturally not shameless enough to take such a precious thing from someone else. "

But...but this one is a bit expensive..." Xiao Li was a little confused.

"It's okay. Tell me what you want. If it's beyond my ability, it proves that I have no destiny with it, and I'll change it for another one." Xia Jinning comforted.

"Its original price is 260,000 yuan, but the customer who reserved it has paid 60,000 yuan in cash, so you just need to pay another 200,000 yuan."

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Xia Jinning knew that this clerk was not an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary clerk have the power to deduct 60,000 yuan in cash without reporting it?

"This is not suitable, you..."

"It's suitable! Don't worry, I can make the decision." The clerk Xiao Li patted his chest and assured. "

Then... thank you." Xia Jinning hesitated for a moment and chose to accept this kindness.

Xiao Li was instantly excited, it was great!

Xia Jinning swiped her card and asked Xiao Li for his WeChat to see if he could treat her to a meal before she left. Teacher Meng would definitely like this pen!

Knowing that Xia Jinning was here for an art exam, Xiao Li also recommended some shops that were suitable for fun and delicious.

After leaving, Xia Jinning strolled around Liulichang again and really liked this ancient street.

From pens, ink, paper, and inkstones to fan pages, from calligraphy and painting seal carving to mounted scrolls, from stone and pottery to antique artifacts.

Later, I also bought a lot of small things, such as exquisite bookmarks and fan pages, which I can give to An Qiqi, Tao Mengxuan, and the teachers when I go back.

When she was about to leave, she passed by Tang Yuexuan again. Suddenly, she felt a gaze. Xia Jinning looked up and saw that Mr. Tang was looking at her from the second floor.

Xia Jinning waved her hand generously and said goodbye.

Mr. Tang also smiled and even said aloud, "Goodbye, my friend!"

Xia Jinning clasped her fists again and said goodbye again in an awkward way.

This made Mr. Tang laugh.

When Mr. Tang went downstairs, he saw Xiao Li playing with her mobile phone and said, "You little girl are being lazy again."

"Hehe, I was wrong. I will dare to do it again next time."

"Deduct my wages."

"No, Grandpa, I only worked for one month, and my wages are not high to begin with. If you deduct my wages, I will have no money left.

I will work diligently in the future." Xiao Li's attitude changed instantly.

"What kind of pen did the girl just now take?"

When the girl just now was mentioned, Xiao Li instantly became energetic, "The girl's name is Xia Jinning, she is so beautiful and has a good temperament. You said you would give her a pen, but she insisted on paying.

So I took the initiative to give her a discount."

Old Tang nodded, "You don't want to take advantage of others, this girl looks likable, which pen, you haven't told me yet"

"It's... it's... um um ah ah then that pen, Grandpa, your trousers look really good today!" Xiao Li planned to get away with it.
