Chapter 170: How Do You Know We Can’t Afford It?

“Um…” The young shop girl in the store was clearly meeting such an unreasonable customer for the first time. She was completely stunned by the woman’s ridiculous demand and could not get a word out.

But the older, more experienced sales assistant in the store heard the commotion outside and rushed over to help.

In a gentle yet firm voice, she said: “I’m sorry, ma’am. Everyone who comes into our store is our guest. We have no right to drive any guest out.”

Du An Rao raised her eyebrows, her eyes lighting up.

[I like this young lady! She is polite without being weak at all. She is so cool!]

Jiang You Nian paused for a moment and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the young lady who had come out from the back.

The two of them, Du An Rao and Jiang You Nian, felt very pleased when they saw the shop assistant’s attitude, but the two people standing opposite them were completely triggered.

The woman snapped: “What do you mean by that? We just spent six hundred thousand! Those two broke nobodies, what did they buy? They bought nothing! Are you sure you want to offend big customers like us for their sake?”

The young lady replied calmly: “We really appreciate your trust in and love for our products. Everyone in our store will do their best to provide you with the best service.”

The woman yelled: “Then throw them out for me!”

The young lady did not back down. She said: “Like I said, we have no right to drive any guest out. As long as someone walks through our door, they are our most honored guest, no matter who they are or what status they have.”

The hidden meaning was that whether or not Du An Rao and her cousin ended up buying anything, in the eyes of the shop assistants they were still guests, no different from President Sun and his companion.

These words made the woman explode with anger. She shouted: “Fine, very fine. You are really something. Aren’t you afraid we will file a complaint against you?”

The young lady’s face did not change. She said: “Our company has an internal complaint hotline that is completely open. If you are unhappy with the product quality, we can process a return and refund for you at any time. If you are unhappy with my service attitude, you can lodge a complaint against me personally at any time. My employee number is 9201. Please remember to clearly write down the reason when you complain. Someone from our head office will personally check the security footage to see what really happened.”

As she spoke, the young lady lifted her hand and pointed at the store’s security cameras not far away. She added: “Once your complaint is filed, it is usually processed within three days. Please wait patiently for the result.”

She was clearly not afraid of being complained about at all. She even hinted that spending six hundred thousand in their store was not some amazing achievement. If they wanted to return the goods, that was fine too, so there was no need to keep bragging about it.

Those two really thought that just because they had spent some money, they could stand above all the other guests and turn the shop assistants into helpers for their bullying. Honestly… they were really taking themselves way too seriously.

As soon as Du An Rao heard what the young lady said, she could not help cheering for her in her heart.

[This young lady is amazing. Look at those two, their faces are turning green, hahaha. But since she is working so hard for us, we can’t drag her down, right? At a time like this we should…]

Du An Rao touched the small card in her pocket. She already had a plan in mind.

“You, you, you…” The woman was so angry that she could not even finish a sentence.

Du An Rao looked at her calmly and said: “What do you mean, you? According to your logic, as long as we spend money here and our total spending is higher than yours, we can have you thrown out too, right?”

The woman froze for a second, then laughed like she had heard the funniest joke in the world. She said: “You two broke losers who won’t even open a mall membership card, and you actually dream of spending money in this jewelry store, even more than what we just spent? How about you go home and lie down. In your dreams, you can have anything you want.”

“How do you know we can’t afford it?” Du An Rao gave her a calm glance, then turned to the female shop assistants and said: “I want everything you just brought out here, and also this one, this one, and that pair of earrings over there. Wrap them all up for me.”

As soon as she said that, not only the arrogant couple across from her, but even the shop assistants in the store were stunned.

The young lady was the first to react. She asked carefully: “Miss, are you sure?”

Du An Rao said: “I’m sure.”

“Alright, please wait a moment,” the young lady said. Without another word, she went with two other female shop assistants to start packing.

The two troublemakers finally came back to their senses. The woman shouted: “You really believe she can afford all that? One bangle costs six hundred thousand. The things she just looked at are necklaces and earrings and bracelets and brooches. Altogether it has to be at least one or two million. She’s just a young girl, how could she possibly pay that much?”

Unfortunately for her, none of the shop assistants paid her any attention.

Feeling looked down on, the woman’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She even reached out to grab the young shop assistant and said: “Didn’t you hear me talking to you?”

Even though the young lady had plenty of experience and a good temper, she could not help showing some displeasure now. She said: “Ma’am, please do not interfere with my work.”

But the woman acted as if she did not understand. She pointed at the young lady and ranted: “You don’t believe me, right? Fine, I want to see what you do when she can’t pay later.”

Standing to the side, Du An Rao watched the two of them talking past each other and felt deep sympathy for the young lady.

[Seriously, what does it have to do with you whether I can pay or not? Is this the sad life of modern workers? If she wasn’t still on the clock, I feel like the young lady would want to slap her twice. Sigh~ Running into such an unreasonable weirdo customer during work is really too painful!]

Jiang You Nian was speechless.

[Little ancestor, can you tone it down? Your watching-the-show attitude is way too obvious!]

With three shop assistants packing together, they worked very fast. Soon a whole row of gift bags was lined up in front of Du An Rao.

The young lady said: “These here are all the jewelry you just chose, Miss. They include one gold necklace and two Kashmir sapphire necklaces, priced at three million in total, two pairs of gold bangles and one pair of glass-type jadeite bangles, priced at two million five hundred thousand, one pair of natural emerald earrings, one pair of Heart of the Ocean sapphire earrings, one pair of pigeon blood ruby earrings, one violet gemstone pendant, one blue diamond brooch, and one pair of orange-gold cufflinks, priced at four million seven hundred and ten thousand.”

She took out a calculator and quickly tapped on it. Then she said: “All of these items together are priced at ten million two hundred and ten thousand. With my authority I can only give you a two percent discount, so after rounding, the total is ten million. Miss, will you be paying by card, or… in cash?”

“Ten million!” Before Du An Rao could say anything, the woman next to her could not help crying out.

When she noticed everyone looking at her, her face twisted. She snorted and said: “Hmph, even if they sold her, she couldn’t pay that much!”

Jiang You Nian was also shocked by his little cousin’s big spending. But he did not say anything. He only secretly thought that if Du An Rao did not have enough money later, he would step up and help pay.

Du An Rao ignored the woman’s words. She casually took out a bank card and said: “Thank you, I’ll pay by card.”

“Alright, Miss,” the young lady said with a soft smile as she took the card. She was just about to swipe it when Du An Rao suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped her: “Wait!”
