CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: OVER BUDGET

But after all, no matter how you say it, Jiang Wan is her customer now.

No matter how much this employee despises the couple, she still has to serve Zhou Kuangyu and Jiang Wan well at this moment.

After all, this concerns her salary.

Besides, this employee is harboring some bad intentions in her heart.

Especially after seeing Jiang Wan with that greedy look.

The employee lowered her head, glanced at the gold bracelets in the display case, and after looking for a while, she thought for a moment.

She first took out a large gold bracelet weighing about a hundred grams from the counter.

And directly handed it to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan’s eyes glazed over when she saw it.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhou Kuangyu was standing right next to her watching, Jiang Wan would have loved to immediately put on the big gold bracelet and try it out.

Though at her age, wearing gold is generally considered tacky by girls her age.

However, Jiang Wan didn’t think so, after all, gold is valuable!

She at least graduated high school, has some education, can read and count, and doesn’t have poor vision, so naturally, she can see the tag next to that big gold bracelet, indicating it weighs a hundred grams.

Jiang Wan silently calculated in her heart that the current gold price is thirty-three yuan per gram (made up, not a real reference).

If it’s a full hundred grams, that would translate to a full three thousand three hundred yuan.

Instantly, Jiang Wan’s heart was ignited, thinking that if she could buy this hundred-gram gold bracelet, she’d be rich, having made a big profit.

Jiang Wan looked up at the employee serving her, her eyes full of gratitude.

Jiang Wan wasn’t foolish, she naturally understood that the reason this employee was pushing the heavier gold bracelet to her was because she would earn a higher commission.

That’s why she was trying various ways to sell it to her.

But on second thought, this little scheme of the employee perfectly matched her own desires.

If she were to pick a gold bracelet herself, she’d at most dare to choose one weighing thirty to fifty grams.

If it were any bigger, she really wouldn’t dare to bring it up.

After all, she wasn’t the one paying, and if buying such a heavy bracelet made Zhou Kuangyu unhappy, she’d be the one suffering.

So, how could Jiang Wan not be grateful to this employee?

She was practically her lucky star.

The employee was somewhat observant, noticing the change in Jiang Wan’s expression.

The employee adjusted her smile and, with a very serious tone, said to Jiang Wan:

"Miss, take a look at this bracelet and see if you like it?"

"This is already the heaviest one in our store, weighing over a hundred grams. If you buy it, I can give you a discount, and you’ll save quite a bit."

Jiang Wan was naturally tempted upon hearing this, but unfortunately, Zhou Kuangyu was standing right beside her.

Jiang Wan naturally felt embarrassed to just accept the large gold bracelet.

She had to show some hesitation, as the bracelet was quite heavy, but seeing the employee’s enthusiastic demeanor, Jiang Wan turned her head, pretending to be at a loss, and looked at Zhou Kuangyu.

Jiang Wan thought, since Zhou Kuangyu had already promised to buy her a gold bracelet, the difference in weight shouldn’t matter, given Zhou Kuangyu’s wealth.

Three thousand yuan was trivial; he donated nearly a hundred thousand yuan to their school annually.

So, this three thousand yuan gold bracelet was just petty change to Zhou Kuangyu.

Jiang Wan thought if she acted pitiably, pretending to be overwhelmed by the employee’s enthusiastic hospitality, Zhou Kuangyu would undoubtedly say, "Since the employee has recommended it, just take it," and then proceed to pay.

This was the entire scenario Jiang Wan imagined.

But sometimes, things don’t go as she expected.

When Zhou Kuangyu saw Jiang Wan’s hesitant manner, he frowned slightly, visibly displeased.

He glanced at the employee holding the gold bracelet as she communicated with Jiang Wan. Zhou Kuangyu was standing on the side.

The store was quite small, so naturally, Zhou Kuangyu could hear their conversation.

He keenly noticed the bracelet’s weight of a full hundred grams.

Zhou Kuangyu was somewhat displeased at that moment and thought, although he agreed to buy Jiang Wan a big gold bracelet, he never intended to buy one so expensive.

A hundred-gram bracelet would cost about three thousand yuan, which was a bit over his budget.

After all, these days a house in town costs only sixty yuan per square meter. If he bought this bracelet for Jiang Wan, it would be like giving her half a house for free.

This gift was indeed a bit too extravagant.

Zhou Kuangyu thought he’d been married to his wife for many years and never considered giving such a heavy gift to her.

If Jiang Wan asked him to buy this bracelet, it would indeed be quite impolite.

Jiang Wan was somewhat perceptive and naturally noticed that when Zhou Kuangyu saw the bracelet in the employee’s hand, his expression became extremely displeased.

Jiang Wan instantly realized that Zhou Kuangyu was not going to buy her a bracelet of such weight.

After realizing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Jiang Wan’s face, thinking three thousand yuan was enough for her to live comfortably in college for four years without worrying about food and clothing.

But she then thought she shouldn’t be too greedy; a hundred-gram gold bracelet was indeed a bit too extravagant. Perhaps she could opt for a smaller one.

As Jiang Wan was pondering how to speak, Zhou Kuangyu, who had maintained a calm demeanor, seemingly unconcerned about her situation, suddenly spoke while looking at the gold bracelet in the employee’s hand. His voice was cold, without sparing any feelings, directly rejecting the employee’s promotion of the heavy gold bracelet:

"Choose a different style, a hundred grams is too extravagant and beyond our budget."

"Please recommend a bracelet around fifty grams for her."
