Chapter 3982: A Perfect Match (178)

Having browsed around a bit, Liang Yin noticed that although some of the styles were indeed cheaper, they still cost tens of thousands. And they weren’t exactly pretty. Even a layman like her didn’t think they were, not to mention Qin Zhou.

Most of the attractive pieces were in the five to six-figure range. Some didn’t have a visible price tag, and she didn’t dare ask. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to afford it after the price was told to her.

Actually, Liang Yin was very sensitive. From the moment she walked into this counter, she could sense that the people at the counter did not seem very friendly to her.

For example, before entering this counter, she saw the shop assistant sending off a well-heeled lady with a bow and an obsequious smile. However, when this assistant turned around and saw Liang Yin walking in, the enthusiasm on her face quickly cooled and her expression changed faster than one could flip a book.

Liang Yin felt that she was being despised, so she decided to browse by herself and not trouble others.

When the shop assistant saw her, she took the initiative to ask. However, her tone was flat, as though she did not have the intention of serving this customer. In fact, she seemed keen for her to leave.

Liang Yin did not feel good. However, on second thought, at the very least, she had a decent amount of money with her.

No matter what, Hua Jin had given her a million yuan. Surely she could afford a pair of cufflinks here!

She felt bold again at this thought. “I wish to buy a pair of cufflinks.”

The clerk was surprised when she spoke.

She’d thought that by coming forward, the girl would hurry away before she made a fool of herself. She certainly hadn’t expected Liang Yin to say she wanted to buy cufflinks.

‘And who are you buying it for?’

“Uh…” Liang Yin pondered for a moment, then said, “It’s for my boyfriend.”

“I see…”

The shop assistant gave a fake smile and suddenly reminded her dryly, “The things we have here are not cheap. The cost of a pair of cufflinks starts from five figures. Are you sure… you want to buy them?”

The fact that she asked so tactfully was nothing more than an oblique way of reminding Liang Yin that the things here were steeply-priced and she had to consider carefully. She hoped that after putting in the effort to introduce the pieces, this customer would not walk away empty-handed. If so, she would have wasted her breath.

It was not that they were too snobbish. Indeed, sometimes, for all the things they did to welcome a guest, the guest was only there to “look around”. They just wanted to experience luxury goods. In fact, they had no intention of buying anything. But customers who entered the shop had to be entertained.

Usually, such customers would act serious and walk around. When the shop assistant introduced the individual items, it would become obvious that they couldn’t afford it. Some would go as far as to say in a dignified manner before walking out, “Not to my liking”. And in the meantime, the truly high-quality clients would have been intercepted and snatched up by other colleagues.

Superficially, the shop assistants at these counters got along well. In fact, they were all very knowledgeable and especially shrewd. But why would one compromise one’s own performance? Therefore, the staff would try to push such customers to the new staff.

Liang Yin was a little unhappy to hear her say that.

Why are you looking at it if you can’t afford it? Outwardly, the shop assistant smiled, but in her heart, she would be cursing. She’d heard this excuse so many times. Often, some gaudy aunty would pretend to be a noblewoman and come to shop at the counter, but in the end, she wouldn’t buy.

“Sure. Take a look and see if there’s anything that catches your eye?”

Liang Yin took another look and felt that there didn’t seem to be any particularly good-looking designs on the counter.

“Are all the designs here?”

“No.”
