"A big shot? What's their identity?"
Having lived in the city for so long, Shen Daniu had developed a good grasp of interpersonal relationships. In his view, if he encountered someone of importance, he should go and say hello. In case he needed connections in the future, at least he could become acquainted with them.
"This person is really beyond our reach. Besides, that leader is from the provincial capital and will only be here for two or three days. I think you should just give up."
Manager Chen knew what Shen Daniu was thinking, and as a decent business partner, he kindly offered a reminder. After a moment of contemplation, Shen Daniu's gaze shifted to Shen Ying and Jiang Yu.
He had to admit that in all his years in the furniture business, he had met all sorts of people. But he had never seen anyone quite like these two, the man with his extraordinary bearing and the woman with her stunning beauty.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Shen Daniu is something else, he knows all sorts of people."
"You two are here to look at furniture, right? I'm so sorry to have run into this situation. I'm afraid it will take up some of your time. I won't be able to come and greet you until the evening party."
Whether out of respect for Shen Daniu or as the manager of a furniture store, it's only right and wrong not to neglect customers. But today, by sheer coincidence, everything has happened at once.
Shen Ying remained silent; after all, it was someone else's business, and he had no right to interfere. But Jiang Yu, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder which leader is here for an inspection?"
"The military region leaders are not here to inspect our work."
Manager Chen, driven by his gossipy nature, leaned close to the group and whispered:
"It's said that this leader just reunited with his daughter who had been missing for many years. The daughter was a performing arts soldier in our area. Out of a sense of compensation, he approved an apartment for her in the military compound. That's why she came over today to pick out furniture."
After hearing his description, Jiang Yu seemed to have guessed something and turned to look at the man. Seeing Shen Ying's knowing expression, she confirmed her guess.
"People in the military, you should know Brother Ying, right? Is there really such a thing in your unit? I've never heard of it. That young lady is really lucky; her life must have changed dramatically after this, right?"
I wonder when I'll discover my true identity. Maybe I'm the lost son of a powerful figure, waiting for me to return and inherit the family business.
Shen Daniu grasped the key point. On the one hand, he felt that such explosive news should have already spread throughout the army, and Shen Ying couldn't possibly have been unaware of it. On the other hand, he fantasized about whether such a thing might happen to him one day.
"Whether I know him or not is hard to say, but the kind of rich dad you're imagining definitely doesn't exist."
Shen Ying responded, word by word. Thinking of Da Niu's father's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Da Niu's, he shook his head, promptly stopping him from indulging in daydreams in broad daylight.
"Manager Chen, the boss says we can take the customer upstairs now."
The receptionist received the signal from the walkie-talkie and walked around the front desk. She vaguely heard the military leader, upon learning that other customer channels had been closed because of her arrival, become somewhat angry and gave the boss a lecture.
What the leader didn't know was that his daughter had called the day before to specifically emphasize that no one was allowed to come over while they were looking at furniture, as it would affect her experience. She also wanted the boss to personally receive her.
I can't help but sigh: These days, even being a boss is so tough!
"Come with me."
Upon hearing this, Manager Chen quickly stood up and politely invited the three of them upstairs. He apologized profusely the entire way, even though everyone knew he had nothing to do with the matter.
Upon entering the second floor, the vast space was filled with a dazzling array of furniture. Shen Daniu was the first to speak, his voice filled with astonishment:
"These goods from the provincial capital are really different. They're so much better than the furniture we had before. Old Chen, Ying Ge is my childhood friend, we're even closer than family. You can't ask for an exorbitant price."
He knew that Shen Ying was spending money everywhere to build the house. As a good brother, he wanted to secure the best possible benefit for him.
"Don't worry, as long as Brother Ying likes it, I will definitely put it on the order at the lowest price. Here, I'll show you around first and explain the product descriptions of these furniture pieces so you can compare them later."
Manager Chen walked and talked, and several pieces of mahogany furniture passed by their eyes. It must be said, the style was indeed grand. But Jiang Yu felt it lacked the warmth of home.
Therefore, she still prefers a genuine leather sofa. Although it's more expensive and uses springs for support, it definitely looks good in the living room.
As for the bed, she tried to choose one with a touch of luxury. After walking around for a while, Jiang Yu felt like her legs were about to break.
Since they arrived early, quite a few people had already gathered. Jiang Yu decided on the larger items, while Shen Ying was left to decide on the smaller pieces of furniture.
Jiang Yu did not continue with the others, but instead found a soft-looking sofa, sat down, and planned to rest for a while.
The bumpy ride and excessive physical exertion made her doze off.
In a daze, I heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if someone was arguing with the shop assistant. The voice wasn't loud, but it was clear as day.
The female customer seemed very displeased and launched into a tirade against the shop assistant:
"Do you know who I am? If I hadn't come here to choose furniture, you lowly people wouldn't even have the chance to see me. And you dare to say that the items I've got my eye on are already sold out."
Since the other party has only paid a deposit and not the full amount, refund their money and sell it to me first. Then explain to my father that it was your oversight that you didn't notice the extra inventory, understand?
Deng Wei glared at the sales clerk with an arrogant air, her eyes filled with disdain. To her, it was an honor for these people to come to their store to choose furniture, so they should always put themselves first.
Of course, she also knew Commander Bai's character. Therefore, she only dared to abuse her power and do these things in secret. Moreover, she would frequently glance left and right, afraid of being discovered.
"Miss, we really can't make that decision. Besides, most of our customers pay a deposit before delivery. You can take a look at similar colors; they're all very nice."
The shop assistant seemed on the verge of tears, her voice growing softer and softer as she feared she might upset the other person again.
"Are you deaf? Or are you mentally deficient and unable to understand? I already said I wanted the navy blue one. How can choosing blue be the same? You're so stupid."
Deng Wei's words became increasingly harsh. Seeing the shop assistant crying, she grew impatient and pointed at her, saying:
"Bring your store manager here. I want to talk to him in person. Remember, don't involve my father, or I'll have your boss fire you tomorrow."
