Bai Jing glanced at the other person and smiled.
"No."
The store manager saw that Bai Jing was pretty and well-behaved, and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family, so he thought that she must be a wealthy young lady.
Looking at the smile on Bai Jing's face, he was a little unsure of what she meant, so he asked tentatively, "Do you think something is inappropriate? I can help you modify it for free."
Bai Jing's smile remained on her face, and her tone was still gentle as she said directly, "The price is not right."
Seeing that she was not dissatisfied with the skirt itself, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little embarrassed.
"Because this dress is made of the best material, it is naturally more expensive. Comrade, you looked so beautiful in it just now. You looked elegant and beautiful, decent and generous. You should like it very much, right?"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Jiang Ziqian who was a little further away, "They say that love is priceless, and meeting someone is fate. There is only one skirt in the store, and it might be sold out in a moment. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again..."
Jiang Ziqian could probably sense that Bai Jing really liked him. When he was about to say something, Bai Jing seemed to be able to sense it and turned around to look at him.
Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and Jiang Ziqian understood the meaning of Bai Jing's eyes, and paused for a moment about the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
...
...
The manager saw that he didn't react and wondered if he had misunderstood their relationship.
Bai Jing was heard speaking again, "Hey, I'm just a poor student. I have to go to class every day, so I can only work part-time in my spare time. The money I earn has to be used to pay tuition and daily expenses. Even if I eat frugally and spend thriftily, I don't have much left..."
The manager saw that she looked sincere and couldn't help but believe it a little. After hesitating for a moment, he asked.
"Then...how much do you think is appropriate?"
Bai Jing didn't hesitate much, as if she had already guessed that the other party would say that, and she gave a number at this moment.
As soon as she finished speaking, not only did the store manager's eyes widen, but even Zhou Lie, who was standing farther away, couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
"No, no," the store manager came to his senses immediately after being stunned, shook his head quickly, and said subconsciously, "My cost price is more than this number, how can I bargain like you? This is really not okay!"
"Really?" Bai Jing pretended to be a little distressed. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "How about this? Let's each make some concessions and take a middle number."
The store manager thought about it carefully. Although the skirt looked good when hung, it was actually very picky about who wore it. This girl was the first one he had seen who could wear it as if it was tailor-made.
Although the other party finally proposed to take the middle price, which could only make a tiny profit, it was better than leaving it in the store as a decoration. At this moment, he showed a painful expression and waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, I see that you really like it, so I'll take a small loss. Just consider it as making a friend. You must come and support my business often in the future."
Bai Jing smiled and said yes.
The clothes that Bai Jing picked for Shu Xiaoruan were also very suitable. After Shu Xiaoruan changed in the dressing room, she asked the store manager how much they cost.
The store manager had been deceived by Bai Jing's well-behaved appearance. Now looking at the girl's gentle appearance, he couldn't help but hesitate.
I thought that since I made a mistake once, I can’t make a mistake a second time.
Just when he was about to quote a slightly more expensive price, he saw from the corner of his eye that Bai Jing was about to speak. With the lesson learned from the previous experience, he immediately quoted a relatively reasonable price.
"oh?"
When Bai Jing was bargaining, Shu Xiaoruan also went into the dressing room to change clothes, so she didn't know what happened.
She had originally thought that this dress was picked by Jingjing for her and that she liked it too, so she would buy it even if it was a little more expensive. But now she heard that it was a very affordable price and was stunned.
Before she could say anything, she saw the store manager looking in Bai Jing's direction, "...Do you think it's suitable?"
Shu Xiaoruan didn't understand what was going on and blinked in confusion.
Bai Jing thought it was a reasonable price and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She turned to look in Shu Xiaoruan's direction and asked her what she thought.
"Very...very good." Although Shu Xiaoruan still didn't know what was going on, she nodded and responded.
Both of them paid and left the store.
If Shu Xiaoruan hadn't had to go back to Zhou's house for dinner in the evening, she would have wanted to have dinner with Bai Jing. Seeing that the time was almost up, Shu Xiaoruan reluctantly said goodbye to her good friend.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Bai Jing couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Ziqian looked at it for a while and felt that it was somehow familiar.
It was as if... when the younger aunt looked at him and Bai Jing, there was a hint of appreciation and relief on her face?
Bai Jing noticed his gaze, turned around and looked over, and found that he was looking at her intently, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ziqian hesitated for a moment, but still said it was nothing.
After dinner, Jiang Ziqian sent Bai Jing back to the dormitory. As soon as they reached the door, before they had time to say anything else, they saw the dormitory manager coming out from the main door.
Seeing the two of them here, I greeted them, "Professor Jiang, Xiaojing, what a coincidence, are you guys talking about the project?"
Seeing that the other person didn't look suspicious, Bai Jing smiled back, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Oh, don't mention it," the other person waved his hand. "I was planning to go to the Academic Affairs Office after dinner to hand in the forms for last semester, but I forgot about it after dinner and returned without taking the forms. Now I have to go back and see if it's still there. It will be troublesome if it's lost."
"So that's how it is," Bai Jing nodded and smiled softly, "Then go quickly. Anyway, I have nothing to do later, so I'll help you watch the gate here first."
"Thank you." The dormitory manager nodded with a smile and quickened her pace towards the cafeteria.
Seeing her turn a corner and walk out of sight, Bai Jing looked around again and saw that there was no one else nearby, so she pulled Jiang Ziqian into the management office next door.
Jiang Ziqian was still a little slow to react, but Bai Jing had already pushed him down on the chair.
Seeing a pointer on the table next to him, he picked it up, put on a serious face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke very seriously.
"At this late hour, a great professor is wandering around downstairs of the girls' dormitory. Is he planning to do something bad?"
