Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Looking Down on Someone with Dog’s Eyes

Lin Chuxia didn’t take what the young man said to heart.

Having lived a lifetime, even though she was only twenty years old, seeing teenagers still felt a bit like looking at children.

The Department Store in the city was indeed much larger than the one in the county, not only with more items but also with a clearly higher grade.

The first floor was for cosmetics and sundry goods, and shoes and hats were sold above the second floor.

Especially in the clothing section, with all kinds of ready-made garments, thin and thick, in stylish designs that obviously came from the south. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Lin Chuxia had dabbled in clothing in her previous life and still had an eye for fashion.

She instantly liked a men’s dark grey woolen coat on display, dapper on the model, and figured that it would suit Qin Yang even better than the mannequin.

Just as she wanted to feel the fabric, a salesgirl nearby, tugging her braided hair, piped up.

"Hey hey hey, look but don’t touch. If you smudge it, you couldn’t afford the damages."

Lin Chuxia didn’t expect to encounter such a snobbish attendant in the city. Even her outfit today was not bad, all new clothes she bought last time, albeit a little out of style. Why didn’t she even have the right to touch?

"How can I buy without feeling the fabric to check the quality?"

The salesgirl looked her up and down, sneering at the corners of her mouth, "Do you need to feel this fabric? Anyone with eyes can tell it’s good material—100% pure wool. Have you heard of it? It’s new from the south. Forget it, explaining to you would be pointless. Just this one costs 120 yuan, half a year’s salary for some, and you’re thinking of buying? Don’t speak nonsense and sprain your tongue."

Lin Chuxia didn’t know where she gave off the impression that she couldn’t afford it. Their Bun Shop, including cooked food, had sales in the hundreds every day, and nearly a hundred in profit. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it even exceeded that amount.

120 yuan would be just about a day or two’s profit for the Bun Shop, so why make it sound like a tall tale.

Not wanting to waste words on this, she reached out to grab the coat for a better look.

The salesgirl immediately panicked as she took action, "Hey, what are you doing? If I say don’t touch, why are you still reaching for it? Have you no shame?"

Lin Chuxia’s complexion sank, "Are you a sales assistant here?"

"What a stupid question, if I’m not, then are you?"

"Since you’re a sales assistant here, you’re supposed to serve the customers. Not only do you not assist me, but you’re also stopping me from looking at the merchandise. What kind of reasoning is this? And your choice of words, I’m really surprised by the quality of City Department Store’s sales staff?"

The sales assistants nearby gathered around upon hearing the commotion, one saying, "You too, if you can’t afford it, just don’t touch it. We’re just looking out for you."

"That’s right. Where did this bumpkin come from? Do you think you can just touch the clothes in the Department Store as you please?"

With her colleagues’ backup, Tang Lili grew more confident, "Exactly, what’s wrong with my attitude? Someone like you deserves this treatment."

She eyed Lin Chuxia’s delicate face with malice.

Where did this bumpkin spring from, thinking her good looks could strut in front of her? Clearly, she hadn’t the sense to ask who she was dealing with.

Such fine clothes deserve more than just a few glances, let alone being boldly claimed for purchase, as if their worth is less than her own.

Lin Chuxia calmly scanned the three people and stated directly, "Where’s your manager? Get your manager here. I want to ask if the City Department Store’s business is meant for ordinary folks like us."
