Chapter 314 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 14
After saying that, he pulled Lu Jinnian along and, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone and the salesperson, turned and walked out of the store.
She just left like that? She left so beautifully?!
If it were any other person, they would never do this, because of face! They would have to buy one no matter what, lest they become one of those people the salesperson described as someone who couldn't afford it.
But the truth of this world is that if you want to make things convenient for others, you have to compromise yourself.
The saleswoman was a snob to begin with, and when she saw the pile of clothes on the counter that she had just taken down and that had been criticized for being bad, she was furious.
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were like knives, but she didn't dare to say a word. With so many people watching, if she said anything more, she might make a mistake.
She wasted so much time and effort, not only did she get a lesson, but she also became the laughing stock of the whole place, and in the end, she didn't buy a single piece of clothing!
The sales clerk dared not speak out, as no one stipulated that entering a shopping mall meant one had to buy clothes. It was normal for Shen Ci to look at and touch the clothes; it did not violate any rules.
There's no problem if she doesn't buy it. Normally, she might make a sarcastic remark, but with so many people watching, she doesn't dare show her face for fear of inciting public anger.
It's perfectly reasonable not to buy after looking at it.
"You don't have a rule here that you have to buy clothes just because you look at them, right?" Shen Ci asked.
This scene was quite satisfying for the onlookers, who had often suffered from the rudeness of these saleswomen. Today, they finally saw someone who could teach them a lesson!
Before the sales clerk could reply, Shen Ci pulled Lu Jinnian around, but they didn't go far before arriving at the clothing counter across the street.
The sales clerk at the opposite counter also witnessed this scene and knew that this customer was a tough nut to crack and not to be trifled with.
The kind-looking middle-aged woman quickly greeted him warmly.
"Comrade, what would you like to see? Want to buy clothes for your younger brother?"
She thought Lu Jinnian was Shen Ci's younger brother. Although the shops weren't far apart, she didn't hear the specific relationship clearly.
Shen Ci's expression softened considerably, and he spoke politely.
"I need to buy these for my son. Sister, could you please bring me some of the latest shirts, trousers, and coats that are suitable for him this year?"
I need both summer clothes and things I'll prepare for autumn.
The middle-aged woman made a decision: she would learn from the saleswoman's mistake and show the product to anyone who wanted to see it, regardless of whether they bought it or not!
This is what sales clerks are supposed to do, and now they dare not slack off even more.
"Okay!"
The middle-aged woman quickly began introducing the clothes.
"For the Little New Year, try on whichever one you like. Try on a few more, and we'll buy them all."
The sales clerk across the street walked to the door, overheard their conversation, and thought they were just bragging. She rolled her eyes and thought she'd see how they'd handle the situation.
But what happened next left the sales clerk speechless and filled with regret.
Shen Ci came like he was buying goods, preparing Dacron shirts, polyester trousers, knitted cardigans, and even cotton coats for winter in advance.
As long as Lu Jinnian gestures that the size is appropriate and the person looks energetic and good-looking, Shen Ci will say three words.
"wrap up."
She not only bought clothes, but also new shoes, a new schoolbag, a new pencil case—everything was new; she bought everything from head to toe.
When it came time to pay, a thick wad of cash and a thick wad of receipts were slapped boldly on the counter.
The middle-aged woman was calculating her gains, her face beaming with joy. This time, she had really struck gold; she had completed her monthly quota in just one day!
"Ding-dong! Spend 500 yuan on new clothes and other items for the villain and receive a 100-fold rebate!"
The rebate of 50,000 yuan has been returned and can be exchanged for different denominations and currencies within the system.
Villain rescue value +5%.
Current rescue value: 17%.
The "rescue value" is similar to, but not exactly the same as, the favorability rating. The rescue value also includes the entire trajectory of the villain's life, and it's not something that can be increased simply by having a good relationship with them.
However, this time you can exchange for different currencies in the system and choose the amount to withdraw, which is much more convenient.
"Comrade, you have too many things to carry. Our department store can deliver them to your residence. Just leave your address."
The middle-aged woman said solicitously, "This is a big client. If it weren't for that woman across from me looking down on me, I would have almost missed out."
We must learn a serious lesson from this!
"Okay, then please deliver it to the Xinqiao Hotel."
Shen Ci calmly left the address. As soon as the older sister heard the address, she knew that she had hit the jackpot. Could someone who could afford to stay at the Xinqiao Hotel be someone who couldn't afford clothes?
The people who live there are either rich or noble.
Most of these are places where overseas Chinese return to China to stay. Anyway, they're not cheap. She's never stayed there, but she's heard of them!
Although I don't know why this guest's son is dressed so plainly, what if he just likes to dress like that? Rich people always have some quirks that ordinary people can't understand.
Maybe they just want to reminisce a bit, like they used to... you know.
Yes, it's called "bitter meal"! In the past, there were often organized "bitter meal" sessions to remember and cherish those difficult times!
So, this guest is wearing the clothes meant to commemorate past hardships.
You can't judge a book by its cover!
The New Qiao Hotel! That's a place where one night's stay could cover several months' worth of expenses for an average family! What else is there to doubt?
Lu Jinnian changed into new clothes and looked like a completely different person from head to toe. He appeared even more tall and handsome, and looked even more like a rich young master.
The saleswoman was even more certain of her thoughts: this young man was so handsome, it was as if these new clothes were meant for him.
Elegance is a feeling.
The older sister didn't throw away the old clothes; she carefully wrapped them up so they could take them with them.
Those weren't ordinary old clothes; they represented the path he had taken.
After paying and receiving the invoice, Shen Ci didn't give the snobbish salesperson across the street another glance.
With her brand-new Lu Jinnian in tow, she calmly left the department store amidst the envious and surprised gazes of passersby.
The new clothes fit perfectly, are very soft to wear, and don't irritate my skin at all. I feel very comfortable, both mentally and physically.
So this is what it feels like to be protected and loved unconditionally and with such domineering affection.
In the past, when he was alone, he would never have entered a department store. Even when he was doing other small businesses, he would encounter people like this, but he usually chose to swallow his anger.
It's better to avoid trouble, because he can't cause any trouble for the dean, and he has no other support behind him.
But now we have it.
He has a mother now.
A child with a mother is a treasure; Lu Jinnian finally understood the meaning of this saying.
