Lin Xiaoyu looked at this strange woman and was sure that he didn't recognize her and didn't know what was wrong with this person. It was probably because of his sense of superiority as a city dweller.
But yes, at this time, city people are indeed much better off than rural people.
If someone could find someone from the city, people in villages all over the country would probably know about it.
Lin Xiaoyu ignored her and continued walking forward.
After walking for more than an hour and her feet hurting, she finally arrived at the city center.
This place was much worse than later generations, but compared to the small town where she lived, it was much more prosperous.
Lin Xiaoyu walked into a shopping mall excitedly. As a test site for reform and opening up, many places here have canceled the use of food stamps. As long as you have money, you can buy things.
Lin Xiaoyu walked and looked around, and soon saw a watch counter.
She walked over immediately. There were many classic men's and women's watches inside, with price tags of only over one hundred yuan.
Watches at this time were really cheap. What she had now would have cost tens of thousands in her previous life.
Lin Xiaoyu thought about it and decided to buy one piece, not for future appreciation.
She believes that she can definitely afford such a watch in the future, which is her confidence in herself.
The main reason is that Lin Xiaoyu needs a watch to tell the time. She is a very time-conscious person. After all, she has to go to the doctor every day and work, so she is very busy.
But in towns, watches are definitely a luxury. If you want to know the time, you just rely on looking at the sky.
When the saleswoman saw a customer coming, she just raised her eyelids. After all, she didn't look like someone who could afford a watch.
Lin Xiaoyu didn't notice her. He glanced around the counter and focused on a very small women's quartz watch.
"Hello, I'd like to try on one of these watches."
The salesperson didn't get up and was still sitting aside. "This watch costs 130 yuan. If you can't afford it, you can't try it. If it breaks, it's who's fault."
Lin Xiaoyu's face turned cold, "How do you know I can't afford it? I am a customer now, and you are a salesperson. Your task is to introduce your products. If you can't do it, then I will find the manager of this mall. , ask them if your salesperson can’t work.”
The saleswoman didn't expect that she would have such a tough attitude. If most people heard this, they would have turned away in shame.
She threw away the melon seeds in her hand, twisted her waist and walked over, "You don't look like someone who can afford it when you dress like this! I provide services to high-end people, and a country bumpkin like you is not worthy!"
"Also, our manager is a foreigner. He won't understand what you say at all."
Lin Xiaoyu sneered, then turned and left.
The salesperson sat back down and said, "I can't deal with you yet? You look like you're from the countryside!"
Lin Xiaoyu walked along the mall and saw a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes. He is a specially introduced talent, mainly to learn foreign shopping mall business models.
Lin Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward and said in fluent English, "I want to buy a watch, but your salesperson looked down on my dress, refused to serve me, and even insulted me. I need you to give me an explanation!"
"Otherwise, I think this mall has lost its original meaning. It is a place to sell things and serve people who buy things. If you use appearance to evaluate whether a person can afford it, then you should not open it to ordinary people and directly Just sell it to rich people."
The foreigner looked at Lin Xiaoyu with surprise in his eyes. It was rare for him to hear such fluent English, "I'm so sorry, Miss. Please tell me which counter it is, and I'll go with you. I promise to satisfy you."
Under the leadership of Lin Xiaoyu, they quickly arrived at the watch counter.
When the salesperson saw that the person in charge had really arrived, her face changed slightly and she quickly stood up. However, she immediately shied away the blame and said, "Manager, this person insists on trying it on even though he can't afford it. If it breaks, I won't be able to compensate you." Come on, isn’t this just for the shopping mall?”
Lin Xiaoyu said in English, "As you can see, this is her service attitude. I have never told her how much money I have."
The salesperson was startled when he heard her speak English. There are very few people who can learn English these days. Those who can learn it are definitely rich people, even elites.
But Lin Xiaoyu's outfit didn't look like a city dweller at all.
"you……"
The manager spoke in Chinese, but not so fluently, "Immediately take out a watch and give it to this lady to try on. If you are caught by me again, you should stop working here. We don't need a salesperson like you." .”
Salespersonship is definitely a hot-selling profession these days. If there is a vacancy, it can be filled on the same day.
The salesperson didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took out the one Lin Xiaoyu had favored before and carefully put it on for her.
This watch is very compact and has no fancy decorations. The steel strap is very stable and durable, unlike a leather strap that will crease over time.
"Okay, that's it. Help me remove the strap according to my wrist." Lin Xiaoyu looked at the salesperson with a smile, "Did you see that? In the end, you still have to serve me."
"You are just a person who sells watches, not the person who owns this watch. I hope you can figure out your status. Just like today, I can afford this watch, but can you afford it?"
This woman did wear a lot of jewelry, but they were all worthless stones. As for a watch, of course she didn’t have one.
The salesperson looked ugly, but he could only squeeze out a smile and help remove the watch strap.
The manager next to him liked Lin Xiaoyu's remarks very much, "Madam, what is your name and where do you work in Zhu City? I want to get to know you. Maybe we can become friends in the future. I rarely hear you say this. Authentic accent, if it weren't for your appearance, I almost thought you were from my country."
"No, I'm not from here. Thank you for your kindness."
Just as the watch was ready, Lin Xiaoyu was about to pay for it when the manager stopped her and said, "I'm very sorry for the unpleasantness that happened today, so I can use my rights to give you a 20% discount. This watch is only It costs one hundred and four yuan.”
Lin Xiaoyu was overjoyed and unexpectedly saved another twenty dollars. "Okay, thank you then."
After paying the money, Lin Xiaoyu turned around and left. The manager was obviously still reluctant to leave. He waited until her back disappeared and then looked at the salesperson. The smile on his face had completely disappeared.
"This is the first and last time that I have seen how you entertain foreign guests. I didn't expect that you would have such an attitude towards your compatriots. It really makes me look down on you. If it happens again, just pack your things and leave." People."
The salesperson apologized hurriedly, wishing he could bury his head in his chest in shame.
