CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: JIANG XIN’S EMBARRASSMENT

Jiang Xin was somewhat surprised to hear this.

After glancing at the expression of the salesperson who had just served her, Jiang Xin immediately showed an understanding expression.

She understood what the salesperson meant.

Jiang Xin curled her lips and was about to speak, thinking it’s fine as she has money, but before she could say a word, she was interrupted by the salesperson:

"I’m really sorry, I feel quite embarrassed. It was only after you entered the fitting room that I realized the price of the clothes far exceeds the money you have on you."

"I was only focusing on whether the clothes suited you and forgot that you only have a few tens of yuan in your pocket."

"The price of this outfit is a bit over budget. How about we take another look at the sale section? There are still many cheap and beautiful clothes that we can choose from, ones that are more affordable."

"As long as the style and design are similar, it makes no difference. Once it’s on you, they’re all the same. Let’s take a look at other options?"

Seeing Jiang Xin’s gaze on her, the salesperson who had just served her felt increasingly uncertain in her tone.

After all, she was the one who made the mistake, yet Jiang Xin was paying the price.

This led to her being mocked by the entire second floor’s sales staff.

She truly felt very apologetic.

Furthermore, her tone and attitude when talking to Jiang Xin were particularly courteous.

Because she needed to consider Jiang Xin’s self-esteem, given that they were both from poor families, they understood the feeling of financial distress.

If she pointed out Jiang Xin’s lack of money like this, Jiang Xin’s face probably wouldn’t look good.

After all, it’s such an embarrassing situation.

She would be laughed at, especially by her colleagues who had long been waiting to see the drama unfold with her and Jiang Xin.

The salesperson didn’t need to look up to know her colleagues were around watching the spectacle.

After all, just now when she was serving Jiang Xin, she had been refuted several times by her colleagues.

However, at that time she was defiant and refuted them back, but now they’ve found the opportunity, and they wouldn’t miss the chance to ridicule her a bit more, right?

Indeed, just as the salesperson had predicted, as soon as she finished speaking, mocking laughter from her colleagues spread throughout the second floor.

"See, that’s what happens when you don’t listen to advice. We reminded her early on, this person has no money, yet she insisted on helping her choose clothes."

"Now she’s wasted time and effort, and has to apologize and admit fault, really embarrassing herself."

"The sad part is, we warned her earlier, but she didn’t appreciate it and refuted us several times, and now she’s ended up like this—she deserved it!"

"I really don’t understand what the manager was thinking, hiring such a useless person."

"If I remember correctly, Xiao Zhao has been working here for nearly a week without making a single sale. How does she have the face to stand here? If it were me, I wouldn’t have the face to face our leaders."

"Exactly, having someone so useless to work with really lowers our IQ. It’s a pity for our department’s sales this month."

"Ah, speaking of sales, it reminds me that our department’s sales are among the highest in the company."

"Now with her meddling, won’t it lower our average performance? We’re likely to see bonuses halved this month!"

The remarks from her colleagues caused the young salesperson who had just served Jiang Xin to lower her head.

Most of the things said couldn’t hurt her, but the remark about lowering overall performance really made her feel sorry.

If her actions cause her colleagues’ performance to drop and their salary to be halved, she would die of guilt.

Moreover, she couldn’t even make it up to them.

Looking at her colleagues, who all seemed eager to devour her, the salesperson felt even more upset.

After all, they all come here to work to earn a living and support their families.

Having the salary halved is a big deal.

Jiang Xin initially didn’t know what had happened.

But after hearing the salesperson and her colleagues’ words, what was unclear?

It should be that this salesperson, named Xiao Zhao, is a new employee.

She’s not yet familiar with her work, which resulted in Xiao Zhao not selling any clothes for almost a week, bringing down the department’s overall performance.

That’s why she’s considered a thorn in her colleagues’ sides.

Jiang Xin paused for a moment, surprised at the situation.

If it were her, working hard for a month only to have her wages affected by colleagues’ mistakes, she would be furious.

It would be hard not to complain.

However, Jiang Xin really despised the snobbish expressions those salespeople had.

Their superior attitude seemed to echo in her mind, repeating over and over.

She really couldn’t stand it.

Moreover, how those salespeople treated her after learning she had no money was still fresh in her memory.

After all, it hadn’t been long since these events unfolded.

Jiang Xin curled her lips and saw the salespeople looking amused and disdainful.

She directly said to the salesperson who had served her:

"Make the payment, help me with the invoice."

"I have money, you don’t need to worry about these. It’s just a few clothes, I can afford them!"

After Jiang Xin finished speaking, under the astonished gaze of the salesperson, she walked straight to the cash register.

But just a few steps in, she was stopped by Xiao Zhao.

Upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, Xiao Zhao thought she’d misheard.

What did Jiang Xin just say?

She said she has money.

But clearly, at the beginning, Jiang Xin said she only had a few tens of yuan on her!

Could it be that when she was talking to Jiang Xin earlier, she didn’t express herself clearly, making Jiang Xin think she could afford the clothes?

Xiao Zhao’s mind was in chaos; she thought if she didn’t explain things clearly, it would be so awkward when Jiang Xin went to pay and found she didn’t have enough money in her pocket.

So, to save Jiang Xin from embarrassment, Xiao Zhao quickly pulled her back and, under Jiang Xin’s confused expression, directly told her:

"I forgot to tell you, the outfit you’re wearing costs around thirty-five yuan."
