Chapter 11: Looking down on others with a snobbish eye
Compared to the bustling crowd below, the Luxury District was much quieter.
In front of the various grandly decorated stores, only a sparse few people passed by.
Yan Yueqing led Tang Tang directly into the LV brand store.
Ten million!
She had to pick something expensive to spend!
Sister Wang, the top sales assistant here, perked up when she saw customers arrive, having sat idle all morning, and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, what would you like to look at?"
Yan Yueqing sought opinions, "Tang Tang, how about we buy some handbags?"
Tang Tang tilted her head to think, remembering how her uncles and aunts struggled with cameras and bags full of stuff – it was really hard! Gifting each one a big handbag could hold lots of things. She replied with a smile, "Okay! Buy big ones."
Sister Wang's smile widened, "Are you two mother and daughter? Such a good relationship!"
Mother and daughter?!
Tang Tang immediately triggered a first-level alarm and corrected stiffly, "She's my sister!"
Sister Wang faltered, but quickly recovered with a laugh, "I was just about to say, just like sisters! Please, come inside."
The luxury boutique not only had spacious ambiance but also top-notch service.
The two sat down and Sister Wang's apprentice, Xiao Cen, promptly served fresh juice and snacks.
Sister Wang enthusiastically introduced, "Ladies, our store is LV's representative in T City. I can't claim we have the most stock, but it's definitely the newest! We just received two new models, perfect for you both to wear."
Yan Yueqing nodded, "Hmm, bring them out for a look."
Before Sister Wang could reply, a sharp mockery came from the entrance, "No way, you're actually here?"
That voice?
Yan Yueqing frowned and looked over to see Li Manman, in her ten-centimeter heels and a face full of arrogance, walking in: "Xiao Wang, this job requires some discernment, not just anybody deserves your attention."
Sister Wang stood up straight and politely went to greet her, "Miss Li has arrived."
Li Manman loved luxury goods. On her first day in T City, she had specifically visited the mall, but that day they didn't have the haute couture she wanted, so she made a deposit to pick it up today.
Just now, she was infuriated by Yan Yueqing, and now they've bumped into each other again while picking up the bag? They really were like enemies on a narrow road!
However, the luxury store was her home turf! How dare Yan Yueqing, that pauper, come here if not to humiliate herself?
Li Manman's face was full of insufferable arrogance, "Weren't you going to pick gifts for the crew? What now? You're choosing at LV? Pretending to be wealthy? If you could afford LV, would you be fussing over those two hundred thousand kickbacks? Ridiculous!"
Tang Tang looked puzzled.
What two hundred thousand? What's LV? This store they're in, she recognized it!
LV.
Le-eh-donkey, right!
Aunt Li hadn't learned Pinyin?
Li Manman lifted her chin, "Xiao Wang, I've come to get the bag I ordered the other day. Also, come and introduce me to any new products."
At this, Sister Wang's smile stiffened, "Miss Li..."
In this business, they highly avoid leaving a current customer unattended to move to another customer.
Those who shop at LV stores, aside from young girls with eyes full of curiosity, are mostly capable tycoons!
To categorize customers solely by their attire, and assume who belongs where, was not only a way to miss out on many potential clients, but also a fast track to offending someone.
But now, Miss Li was insisting, and Sister Wang found it difficult to decline.
Seeing Sister Wang's difficulty, Li Manman sneered, "You don't actually think she has the money to buy anything from here, do you? Xiao Wang, didn't you hear what I just said? She would fight over two hundred thousand! Do you really think she would spend the money she scrimped and saved on shopping here?"
