But I think today, she shouldn't feel aggrieved anymore.
As expected, the salesperson's figure vaguely appeared from behind Gu Mingjing, and before he could see his face clearly, his face looked much better and he felt a little relieved.
This time, she wasn't alone. Judging by the figure, it must be a woman. She must be either her partner or a family member. She wouldn't just look around and not buy, right? Within seconds, the salesperson's mind raced.
When Jianshu was fully revealed in front of her and she saw who the visitor was, the salesperson's attitude took a 180-degree turn. From the initial perfunctory and impatient attitude, she turned into a warm and welcoming reception, and greeted Jianshu very cordially.
Although Jian Shu had always been a recluse, she hadn't interacted with many people during her two years at the department store. So much so that before she caused a sensation, many people didn't recognize her.
However, the clothing salespeople weren't included. Just like those selling food and daily necessities, she got along well with the ones selling fabrics. After all, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were inseparable, so of course she had to maintain some relationships with them. Besides, wouldn't she occasionally buy some fabrics she liked?
Because of her identity as a finance department staff, she was born with a good hand and could easily connect with them.
"Xiao Jian, are you here? I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you your boyfriend?" the salesperson asked kindly.
The salesperson was about forty years old, so considering his age, there was nothing wrong with calling Jianshu "Xiao Jian".
Seeing this, Jian Shu also responded enthusiastically: "Sister Yang, this is my girlfriend."
"Hello, Sister Yang." Gu Mingjing also greeted.
"Okay, all is good. Are you here to buy clothes today? Do you see anything you like? If so, tell me and I'll take it down for you to see." Sister Yang smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed and could no longer be seen.
That's the advantage of being a person. With the way salespeople are these days, you still want to try on clothes? Forget it. They'll just take them off and show them to you, but they're rare. Basically, if you like something, you have to pay for it before you can actually get the item.
Fortunately, the quality of things these days is good, otherwise if you are not allowed to inspect the goods before buying them, you would probably be ripped off.
"Thank you, sister. Sorry for the trouble." Jianshu responded with a bright smile.
"You're welcome."

Only after an adult social gathering did Jianshu have time to take a closer look at the clothes on the counter in front of him.
As a famous department store in Beijing, it has a large flow of people and a wide variety of goods, which are the reasons why ordinary people choose department stores. Therefore, as the most popular of the four major needs, "clothing" also occupies a large area.
When Jianshu was observing the clothes, whenever her eyes fell on a certain piece of clothing, the salesperson next to her would immediately understand what she meant and introduce it to her.
With the salesperson's introduction, Jianshu quickly divided all the clothes into three categories according to their place of origin: the first category is from Beijing, which accounts for the majority, about two-thirds of all clothes; the second category is from Shanghai, which accounts for two-thirds of the remaining clothes; the third category is from other places, which is the smallest in number.
From this, it is clear that the Beijing and Shanghai stock markets are the trend indicators.
But this is normal. No matter what time, the capital is special in the hearts of many people. As for Shanghai, due to some historical reasons, it has also become a nationally renowned city.
In some remote rural mountainous areas, when people there mention big cities, the images of Beijing and Shanghai come to mind.
Anything labeled as "Beijing" or "Shanghai" will become distinctive. Even a small enamel pot, drinking water from a cup from a big city will make people feel sweeter than drinking from an ordinary enamel cup.
But the truth is, it's all just a psychological effect. There's no sugar in the cup, so how can the same water taste sweet?
After all, all of this happened in an era of inconvenient transportation. People who couldn't travel far could only learn about these big cities from the radio and news. Because of their lack of knowledge, they would glorify and deify them in their hearts, and finally give them a unique aura.
It’s like an old farmer in the field thinking that the emperor’s life means eating with a golden bowl and working in the fields with a golden hoe.
If it happened in the future, how many people would think that the same thing would be better if it came from the capital?
Vision determines everything. This is no longer the information age where one can know everything without leaving home. It is because of a lack of understanding that one becomes obsessed with myths.
So many people are proud to show off that they always have things from Beijing.
Just like clothes, I always feel that clothes from Beijing are more fashionable and good-looking. From the moment I learned this, I had a filter for clothes.
But in fact, according to Jianshu, most of the clothes in Beijing and Shanghai are not much different from those in other cities, and they are all equally rustic.
Due to the limitations of the times, people were lucky enough to have clothes to wear, so there was no room for pickyness. Therefore, no one cared about the style of clothes, let alone thinking about designing clothes.
Of course, this does not mean that today's clothes are bad in every aspect and have no advantages at all.
It still has its advantages, the biggest one being that it is strong and durable.
Today's fabrics are absolutely not made with shoddy materials. Both the fabric and the workmanship are of excellent quality, and the quality of the clothes is far superior to most clothes in later generations.
Of course, this does not mean that sewing technology has regressed with the development of the times, but it is just because the environment is different, so the situation is also different.
In later generations, with numerous garment factories and intense competition, the bosses naturally wanted to lower costs and increase profits. With lower costs, the quality would naturally not be much better.
In addition, you have to buy new clothes basically every year, and a piece of clothing can't be worn many times. Not many people care if the quality is a little poor, as long as it doesn't break when you wear it.
But nowadays, all factories are state-owned, and the quality of clothes is given top priority, while other interests and costs are put behind.
After all, there is a shortage of fabric nowadays. If the quality is not good, those who only have one or two pieces of clothing to wear back and forth will have nothing to wear in a few days.
In the final analysis, one is behind the country, and the other is behind a private individual; one is for the people, and the other is for profit.
Different identities lead to different choices, and different situations occur at different times, all of which are understandable.
