Chapter 226 Judging by Appearances
Upon hearing the saleswoman's words, Qin Xiaoxu suddenly felt her anger rising, and frowning at the saleswoman, she spoke up, "But if you bring them to us, we also don't know if we can wear them or not, and besides, you're in sales, which is fundamentally about service. Am I wrong?"
Qin Xiaoxu certainly wasn't as easy to talk to as Han Xuewei, so she straightforwardly voiced her question. As soon as she said this, a woman wearing a gold dress walked in through the door.
The dress the woman wore looked expensive, a haute couture, but such high fashion wasn't something Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu would ever wear out, considering it still seemed a bit tacky to them, and it was just a dress worth over ten thousand yuan.
At that moment, a saleswoman who had been sitting aside watching the commotion got up and walked towards the front. She immediately surrounded the newcomer with extreme politeness, while the saleswoman in black, witnessing this scene, had her eyes light up instantly and she too quickly headed forward, just in time to see another woman who was rather petite.
This woman was also a new sales associate, but a rookie. Just as she stepped out, the saleswoman in black called out to her, "Hey, Xiao Lan, come and attend to these two customers. Someone is calling me over there!"
Having said that, she immediately walked over to the woman in the gold dress and surrounded her.
The woman had only spoken a few words when she broke out into a smile, running to the warehouse to fetch shoes for her.
Seeing such disparate treatment, Qin Xiaoxu felt her temper flare and was almost at the point of turning over the store.
But right then, Han Xuewei immediately grabbed her hand and spoke up, "Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble. We'll leave after we finish buying. Besides, look, someone has come to serve us, haven't they?"
Qin Xiaoxu, angered to death by the situation, had been to many stores—whether rich or not, whether it was luxury goods or not, everyone else had always treated her kindly after all, the service industry shouldn't be looking down on people, should it?
Encountering such an absurd store, it was truly Qin Xiaoxu's first time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she had known, she would never have come.
Looking at Han Xuewei, Qin Xiaoxu felt a need to assert herself, so she spoke directly, "Vivi, whichever ones you like later, I'll buy for you. You and Lin Yi took care of me that time I bought so much at the mall, this time buy whatever you like, don't be shy."
As Qin Xiaoxu spoke, she was unwilling to put up with such treatment. The rookie sales associate, standing off to the side, looked a bit awkward, probably also understanding the situation but not daring to speak up.
Han Xuewei, noticing her discomfort, immediately spoke with a smile, "Miss, you don't need to be scared, my sister's just a bit temperamental, she's not as hard to get along with as you might think!"
Han Xuewei said this somewhat indifferently, but she too could tell that the sales associate seemed inexperienced, her gaze filled with unfamiliarity.
The sales associate, upon hearing this, nodded gratefully and replied, "Yes, my name is Xiao Lan. I've been staying at home taking care of the kids ever since I had them, and only now that the child is a bit older have I been able to come out to work. If there's anything I'm not doing well, please tell me, and I'll correct it. I hope you won't give me a bad review."
Xiao Lan said cautiously, and Han Xuewei, hearing this, spoke up, "Hmm, you still look so young, the child mustn't be very old!"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Lan smiled and said, "The child is only just over two years old. It's because the child is old enough to go to daycare that I was able to bring them there and start working. Which shoes do you ladies like? I'll go check for your sizes in a bit.
The shoes we sell here are mostly limited editions. After all, the designs the designer comes up with are all over the place, and most of the shoes displayed here are smaller sizes. I don't think either of you would fit them, so just tell me what you like, and I'll go fetch them from the warehouse."
As Xiao Lan spoke, Qin Xiaoxu was quite satisfied, finding her attitude much more pleasant than that of the black-clad saleswoman, who was so full of herself it was annoying.
Xiao Lan could tell at a glance that neither of them had small feet since the shoes displayed here were meant for women with much smaller feet.
As they were picking out items, the black-clad saleswoman began enthusiastically promoting to the woman in the gold haute couture, "Miss, look, this gold one is a new arrival the designer brought in yesterday. You should try it, it's very beautiful. And our shop currently has some discounts.
Miss, take a look! And this, this is a hot-seller from our exclusive designer, who can design to your preferences. This silver one is quite nice."
The black-clad saleswoman said, and hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu felt displeased, simply staring coldly at the saleswoman. Really, it was a case of tailoring her service according to the person.
Han Xuewei, however, seemed unconcerned, picking up a pair of light blue flats and speaking to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, do you have other sizes for these shoes? I wear size thirty-eight."
Han Xuewei said gently, and Xiao Lan immediately moved closer. Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat surprised, and couldn't help speaking up, "Vivi, I remember when we've gone shoe shopping before that you always wore size thirty-seven."
Hearing this, Han Xuewei couldn't help but laugh.
"You're not wrong, I did indeed wear size thirty-seven before, but then my weight skyrocketed during pregnancy, and my feet grew along with it. Maybe it's because I had to bear so much weight every day, after all, I was carrying more than just one baby at the time, and I don't know why. Though now it makes sense, I was always wearing Lin Yi's slippers then."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was shocked.
"What, your feet can get bigger during pregnancy? That's too outrageous!"
Han Xuewei laughed upon hearing this.
"It's true, I didn't believe it at first either. I thought things would go back to normal after giving birth, but it seems now they've only somewhat returned to their original size."
Xiao Lan, having been pregnant herself, nodded in agreement and commented, "It's really like that, everyone's physique is different, and some people's feet do get bigger because of the great changes in body weight during pregnancy."
With this, she looked at Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu and ventured, "May I ask what surnames the two ladies have?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu just smiled and said, "My last name is Qin, and hers is Han!"
