Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Do You Even Know How to Spell ‘Sha Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Do You Even Know How to Spell ‘Sha Sales associates in these luxury stores are all very shrewd.
They usually serve wealthy ladies or precious daughters, if not popular celebrities.
They can tell at a glance what price range a custor’s clothing falls into and thus judge their spending level, deciding accordingly how to treat them.
The likes of Lu Sheng and Juanjuan, wearing clothes that together cost less than a thousand yuan, and even underage.
It’s obvious they just want to look around; in fact, they can’t even afford the cheapest scarf in the store.
Letting such people into the store is a complete waste of ti, and it also takes up the quota of custors who can truly afford to spend.
So, the sales associate didn’t think twice before blocking their way.
“What?” Lu Sheng frowned subconsciously when she was stopped by the sales associate, “Why can’t we go in?”
The sales associate intended to say the store was already at full capacity for custors, but then thought, what if these two kept waiting outside?
So she casually switched reasons and said haughtily, “Sorry, our store does not serve minors.”
“…Does not serve minors?”
Lu Sheng’s expression turned cold, realizing why she had been stopped.
This person must think she can’t afford anything in the store, and entering would be a waste of their staff’s ti.
The Thorn Birds’ sales associates are all rigorously trained; Lu Sheng didn’t expect that during the year she was away, the quality of the sales associates had dropped to such a level.
Not only judging people based on their clothes but also making up store rules on the spot. Such sales associates would completely tarnish the brand image.
“Apart from the rule that no more than three custors can be served in the store at the sa ti, I don’t recall The Thorn Birds having a rule that prohibits minors from entering.”
The sales associate didn’t expect this ordinary-looking girl to be able to recite the store’s rules off the top of her head, caught off guard.
Could this young lady have been a custor before?
She doesn’t look like she could afford anything in their store, though.
But now that she had already spoken, she couldn’t take it back without contradicting herself, so she continued sternly, “No serving minors ans no serving!”
She firmly faced Lu Sheng: “Are you the sales associate, or am I? Do you think you know our store’s service rules better than I do?”
Seeing the sales associate’s deanor, Juanjuan couldn’t help but tug at Lu Sheng’s arm: “Sister, maybe we should go to another store…”
Lu Sheng just squeezed Juanjuan’s hand gently, calming her.
She then looked up emotionlessly and said, “You do know that you are just a sales associate? Your job is to serve the custors, not pick and choose whom to serve based on their appearance.”
“You say your store does not serve minors, fine,” Lu Sheng took out her phone from her pocket and imdiately started recording, “Please repeat what you just said in front of the cara.”
Lu Sheng glanced at the na badge on the sales associate’s uniform.
“Your employee number is Z679, and The Thorn Birds’ complaint line is 792511. If there really is such a rule about not serving minors, repeating it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“But if you were making up rules just to stop custors, I rember the corresponding punishnt is a half-month salary deduction. You need to stand by your words.”
“You…” The sales associate’s eyes widened, mouth agape, unable to speak.
She didn’t expect this young girl to be so domineering, not scurrying away embarrassed upon being stopped, but straight up asking her to repeat herself for the recording.
And she even knew about The Thorn Birds’ complaint line and staff disciplinary actions so well.
The associate felt a wave of panic, her legs going a bit weak.
When the store manager heard what was happening outside, they promptly approached with a smile and quickly made their way to Lu Sheng, imdiately offering an apologetic grin.
“Excuse , miss, this staff mber is new here and doesn’t fully understand our store’s rules.”
“Of course, our store serves minors. Please co in and browse. I am the manager, let personally assist you.”
Hearing the manager say this, Lu Sheng didn’t insist on pressing the dumbfounded sales associate any further but gave her a cold look, then put away her phone.
The store manager welcod Lu Sheng and Juanjuan inside, while throwing a fierce glare at the sales associate.
How stupid can they be?
What era is this, still judging custors’ spending power by their clothes? Don’t they know that many wealthy people dress more casually the richer they are?
Those who dare to walk into the store wearing pajamas, slippers, and baggy pants, looking very casual, are the ones who should be received with the utmost enthusiasm.
Because wearing pajamas suggests that their ho is near the downtown shopping district, and dressing casually because they don’t need clothes to prove they can afford to be rich.
Only the nouveau riche would adorn themselves with clothes and bags emblazoned with luxury LOGOs everywhere. The real judgnt of wealth is all about the aura.
The temperant of the young girl in front of them was clearly that of soone who had seen the world, perhaps a precious daughter from so wealthy family. It’s one thing not to eagerly welco her, but to drive her away instead.
The whole store of The Thorn Birds’ high-end line is very large, and it sells a wide variety of categories, including won’s wear, n’s wear, bags, accessories, jewelry, and so on.
“Manager, please take my sister around to shop. Whatever clothes she likes, just wrap them up,”
Lu Sheng turned his head and said, “I need to pick so small items over here. Just have soone else follow , and I’ll pay for everything together later.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go right now,” the manager said with an imdiate smile.
The sales associate who was still sneaking peeks from the inside couldn’t help but receive a disdainful glance from the manager—
See that? Buying clothes for his sister without caring about the price, just wrap them up if she likes them.
Moreover, there’s nothing in the store that’s less than five thousand dollars, and he referred to them as small items. You, with a monthly salary of eight thousand, are looking down on soone who can casually spend hundreds of thousands.
Lu Sheng saying that he wanted to buy small items was actually because he happened to co shopping, so he was thinking of picking up so gifts for his five brothers, as well as Lan Yu, Han Jing, Huo Yu, and Li Muchen.
As she browsed the counters, she pointed to the person behind her: “This, this, this… Yes, and also this and this, wrap them all up for .”
The sales associate behind her was busy taking notes and hurriedly asking soone to bring them.
For Lu Jingyan, Lu Sheng picked out a light grey tie clip, which suited the big brother’s mature and stable temperant very well.
He selected a watch for Lu Siyan. His hands that wield surgical instrunts are indeed very beautiful, and wearing this watch should look very good on him, and it would also be a return gift for the necklace.
For Lu Ziye, he picked out a pair of uniquely designed sunglasses, thinking that the third brother would look quite handso wearing them.
For Lu Youming and Lu Youye, he chose two kinds of perfus, one with a cool and distant sandalwood scent, and the other with a fresh and clean woody fragrance.
For Lan Yu, Han Jing, and Huo Yu, he selected a necklace, a wallet, and a pen, respectively.
As for the gift for Li Muchen, Lu Sheng had already decided on it before entering the shop.
It’s just that the item isn’t displayed in the counter; she’ll have the sales associate retrieve it when she checks out later.
After having the sales associate take all the items to the front desk for packaging, Lu Sheng went to find Juanjuan in the clothing section.
Juanjuan had only picked out one piece of clothing all morning, probably because she thought it was too expensive. Thus, Lu Sheng decisively pointed out everything she thought suited her, picked out four or five pieces, and had them wrapped.
After the two shopped for another round, they went to the front desk, where Lu Sheng’s selected items were piled up, already packaged.
She was about to go over to pay, when the person at the front desk suddenly said with a troubled expression, “I’m sorry, miss… We can’t sell you the items you’ve selected.”
Lu Sheng was taken aback: “What?”
“Because a higher-tier mber has bought all the items you selected before you.”
“Our store’s items are all unique, and according to our policy, mbers with higher tiers have the priority in purchasing, so…”
Soone bought all the items she had chosen before her?
Lu Sheng turned around unconsciously and saw a face that could be considered familiar.
The woman on the sofa was dressed in a haute couture white suit dress, with her makeup exquisite and elegant, her chin up with an arrogant look, sneering at Lu Sheng with disdain.
“No wonder you’re clinging to the mighty Li Family. A bastard girl raised in the countryside, now coming to a luxury store and casually buying a million’s worth of things.”
Fu Siya sneered sarcastically, “At such a young age and already so keen on spending a man’s money, did your mother ever teach you how to write the words [have so sha]?”
