CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: SHE CAN’T AFFORD IT

When she heard Jiang Xin say she was broke, not only did she not show any disdain on her face, but she also warmly greeted her:

"Well, do you still want to buy clothes? I have some last year’s discounted promotional items here, the price is two-thirds cheaper than the original. How about you take a look?"

The saleswoman looked at Jiang Xin nervously, unsure if Jiang Xin would take her suggestion.

She was new to the job herself and lacked experience. Here, she was also ostracized by some of the older employees.

Actually, it was one thing to be ostracized, but what was most hateful was how these older employees bullied people, treating them according to their status.

Usually, the workers at the Department Store were those with quite a bit of family backing, getting in through connections, so many of them had some background here.

Either they were related to some leadership at the Department Store, or their families were very wealthy, wanting to spend money for some job stability, seeking a steady job, which is why they came to work here.

So besides competing for sales at work, the rest was behind-the-scenes gossip.

And she felt a bit out of place.

After all, among a bunch of employees with connections, she was the only one who got into the Department Store on her own merits.

Coming from an ordinary family, and from the countryside, she didn’t have any influential relatives to back her up.

So, after her first day at work, her colleagues on the second floor, having figured out all her family background, hardly anyone paid attention to her anymore.

Therefore, she was unaware of those rookie matters requiring attention, because no one told her.

Her colleagues were quite exclusionary, after all.

So she had to rely on herself to figure things out slowly.

She had been working at the Department Store for about a week already.

But in all these days, she hadn’t made a single sale, and if this kept up, in a month’s time, she’d only be drinking the northwest wind with the basic salary.

After all, the basic salary was a meager wage, and it was only bearable with commissions, and she was just new here, so not much base salary.

Her family conditions were quite average, to begin with, and if she could only earn the basic wage, it would be tough next month.

After all, her whole family was counting on her salary to get by.

So, she was becoming increasingly anxious these days.

But the job didn’t seem to be going as smoothly as she imagined.

Working at the Department Store these days, whenever a customer came, either she wasn’t enthusiastic enough in service, or she was inexperienced, but mostly, it was because she couldn’t compete with her colleagues.

Every time a new customer came, she would start serving them, only to have her colleagues, thinking the customer was of good quality, take them away from her.

They euphemistically said she was inexperienced and a newbie, fearing she would drive away the customers who came to them.

Of course, she was angry inside, but she couldn’t talk back, and had to endure it.

Jiang Xin was abandoned by everyone in the store, and since she was not attended by others, she naturally could take responsibility for hosting her.

Even if Jiang Xin said she was broke, so what?

She could see that Jiang Xin came really wanting to shop and buy clothes.

Because Jiang Xin said she was eager to change out of the colleague’s clothes she was wearing, fearing they might get dirty.

So, in a corner with no attention, she proactively spoke up.

But this kind of proactively greeting a customer, as a saleswoman was really the first time she had done it.

She was really nervous, fearing Jiang Xin would reject her.

Jiang Xin was a bit stunned after hearing the words of this young saleswoman.

She hadn’t expected that after she said she had no money, there would still be a saleswoman to serve her.

After hearing this, Jiang Xin’s lips immediately curved up slightly, and she instantly felt that this saleswoman was good.

Jiang Xin originally came to the Department Store planning to shop extensively.

It’s just that because she didn’t like the numerous saleswomen attending to her like that, she made the remarks she did earlier.

The purpose was to stop those saleswomen from arguing.

After she finally managed to shoo away those highbrow clueless saleswomen.

But suddenly, it was empty, and no one was there to attend to her.

Jiang Xin originally wanted a bit of peace and quiet, it was true,

But if it’s like now, with not a single saleswoman around, if she wanted to choose an outfit later and needed to get a suitable size, she wouldn’t find anyone.

After all, she wasn’t that familiar with the mall and still needed someone to guide her.

Then such a person appeared, not looking down on people like those saleswomen.

Jiang Xin looked up, glancing at the young saleswoman, seeing she wasn’t very old, seemed like a newbie, and when Jiang Xin looked at her, the saleswoman smiled a bit awkwardly, very shy.

Jiang Xin thought it was quite good, and instead of letting this sales commission go to those saleswomen she didn’t like when she bought a lot, she might as well give it to this girl in front of her, at least she was pleasing to the eye.

The young saleswoman on the side was still waiting for Jiang Xin’s response.

Under her gaze, Jiang Xin finally spoke softly.

She was recalling what this young girl had just said to her.

Discounted clothes?

At a price two-thirds cheaper?

Jiang Xin immediately felt it was very good, she naturally had to take a look at such a bargain.

When she bought clothes, she didn’t pursue fashion, focusing on comfort instead.

If the out-of-season old style wasn’t too outdated, she could accept it.

So, Jiang Xin said softly:

"Sure, take me to see."

"If there are suitable ones, I’ll buy a few more pieces."

Upon hearing Jiang Xin say this, the originally nervous saleswoman digging her fingers immediately felt at ease.

She cast a polite smile at Jiang Xin and naturally disregarded Jiang Xin’s words about buying "a few more pieces."

After all, the clothes sold in the mall were quite expensive, even if they were out-of-season discounted items, the price wouldn’t drop too low.

As a saleswoman, she naturally had some understanding of the clothing prices.

For instance, an original thirty yuan T-shirt, even after the discount, still sold for a dozen or so.

According to what Jiang Xin herself said, she couldn’t afford it.
