Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Who Gets the Credit?
"If you’ve only got around ten yuan in your pocket, that’s definitely not enough."
"How about this, there’s even cheaper stuff in the clearance section over there; why don’t we check out the other options?"
"Money should be spent wisely, clothes are consumables, so I think it’s unnecessary to buy anything too expensive."
"Just stay within your own budget, right?"
After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, she frantically tried to cover for Jiang Xin.
She did it because she was worried that Jiang Xin would feel embarrassed, after realizing she couldn’t pay.
The attempt to save face was ridiculously obvious, not only did Jiang Xin pick up on it, but even her colleagues understood Xiao Zhao’s intention, to spare Jiang Xin’s dignity.
The sales clerks here were long accustomed to looking down on people.
So, to them, Xiao Zhao’s words sounded like the antics of a clown, completely unnecessary.
After all, Jiang Xin wasn’t exactly a prized customer.
From their perspective, there was absolutely no need to accommodate her, even if she couldn’t afford to buy clothes this time, they doubted she’d be able to afford them in the future.
Ultimately, it was her financial situation on display.
It wasn’t that they looked down on her, but they had seen this scenario too many times.
Crossing class boundaries isn’t that easy,
So, one by one, they started making snide remarks:
"Listen to you talk, anyone would think she’s some kind of rich person."
"If she can’t afford it, just hurry her out; she’s not only wasting our time but also holding up the fitting room for other customers."
Since today was a weekend, there were quite a few people out shopping for clothes.
Right then, because of the argument on this side, quite a number of customers gathered to watch.
Especially when Jiang Xin walked out of the fitting room, many people had their eyes fixed on her.
Because the clothes did look genuinely good on Jiang Xin.
Some customers had been ready to pay, but after hearing the argument, they paused the payment process.
The sales clerks were very anxious, afraid that because of Jiang Xin, they’d lose the business that was already almost secured.
So, the idea of chasing Jiang Xin away came up.
Over by Jiang Xin, her initial explanations morphed into impatience.
She had already said multiple times to go ahead and check out.
Why did everyone think she had no money?
Jiang Xin felt somewhat deflated.
Had she known, she wouldn’t have said that one line about not having money.
Originally, she said it because she was being pestered by the sales clerks, didn’t want them following her around, so she just said that.
But now, it was more trouble.
Jiang Xin couldn’t be bothered to explain; she directly pulled out ten ten-yuan notes from her pocket.
A whole one hundred yuan, it’s extremely rare these days to pull out so much money from one’s pocket.
What kind of family can just casually take out this much money?
It was worth three months’ salary for them.
The ones who had been sneering at Jiang Xin as the poor one were instantly silenced, speechless.
Their faces turned blue and purple, looking incredibly awkward.
After all, they saw the money, proving that Jiang Xin saying she had no money was just bluffing them.
Their feelings were nothing less than being duped by Jiang Xin!
They had just been ridiculing her for being poor, and now they were the ones looking foolish.
Really a slap in the face.
Now, they genuinely regretted not recognizing initially with sharp eyes that Jiang Xin was deceiving them, and maintaining her as a quality customer would have resulted in selling quite a bit of stuff.
The commission goes without saying, to casually pull out one hundred yuan, one must not be short on money.
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Zhao, feeling that she had gotten quite a bargain.
The sales performance had suddenly shot up.
But they failed to seize the opportunity, letting Xiao Zhao snatch the spoils.
Now it’s too late for regrets, as they had truly offended Jiang Xin.
Xiao Zhao was in a bit of a daze, completely unsure of what had happened.
Her brain still hadn’t processed why Jiang Xin, who initially said she was broke, suddenly turned into a little rich lady?
Xiao Zhao was baffled, Xiao Zhao was disoriented.
Until Jiang Xin once again urged her:
"Why are you just standing there?"
"Why not hurry and make the invoice, take me to check out?"
Only then did Xiao Zhao snap out of it, grinning from ear to ear, feeling ecstatic.
She finally understood that Jiang Xin claimed she had no money just to fool her colleagues.
It was to avoid them pestering her.
Just moments ago, when Jiang Xin entered the second floor, the sales clerks weren’t blind; they saw it as if they were going to eat her, encircling her.
Unexpectedly, she managed to snag the bargain; it’s indeed a surprising delight.
Xiao Zhao quickly replied:
"Oh, I’ve heard, I’ve heard, I’ll take you to check out right away!"
Saying that, Xiao Zhao led the way up front, taking Jiang Xin to complete the checkout.
On the way there, the checkout counter was still quite a distance away.
So, during the walk, Xiao Zhao discreetly looked up and glanced at her colleagues.
She suppressed her excitement, casting her eyes around and seeing her colleagues staring towards them.
That face of defeat made Xiao Zhao want to laugh.
Ha!
This is what happens when they bully others, when they look down on the poor, now they’ve taken a loss!
Haha.
Xiao Zhao was immersed in the joy of completing a sale.
Now she was relieved, she no longer had to worry about dragging down the department’s performance.
Slowly accumulating sales, starting with the first one surely leads to the second, third, and fourth.
After checking out and making the payment, just as Xiao Zhao was about to send Jiang Xin off.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin, carrying the shopping bag, suddenly said casually as ever.
"What’s the rush? I haven’t finished shopping."
"This is just one outfit; I want to buy a few more to mix and match!"
After saying this, in Xiao Zhao’s incredulous gaze,
Jiang Xin seemed to suddenly remember something.
She recalled that Xiao Zhao was specifically responsible for selling clothes in the discount section.
If she proceeded to check out in another section, would someone’s performance get credited instead?
Jiang Xin certainly didn’t want to share the commission from her purchases with people she didn’t like.
So, Jiang Xin asked:
"If I buy non-discounted clothes, the commission still counts under your name, right?"
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, but quickly caught on:
"It’s mine, it’s definitely mine!"
