Chapter 891: Chapter 891 Emmmm… You Ask Wen Yanqing
“`
Just now, she made a big show of recognizing each other as classmates when bringing up the topic of studying, simply to curry favor and make it awkward for her not to buy anything, thus earning a commission. And the result?
They used to be the same, but now Jiang Tongtong comes in wearing branded clothes to shop, while she’s just a service worker. It really makes one envious.
She told Jiang Tongtong to browse at her leisure, then quietly rolled her eyes after moving aside: “Dressed so nicely, yet so stingy. Don’t tell me it’s all for show, acting like you’re rich.”
Lin Gantang, who was having the concealer packed up by the store assistant, glanced at her.
Jiang Tongtong was looking at the foundation when another counter girl saw her alone and thought of assisting her. Liu Yuelan didn’t want to serve her, but having a customer snatched away was another matter. She stepped forward, pushing the other girl aside: “Looking for foundation? The one you’re holding is the basic range; it’s not for you. Here, this one has anti-aging ingredients and suits you better.”
Jiang Tongtong felt the veiled mockery.
She was puzzled. She hadn’t said anything, had she? Why was she receiving this cold treatment?
At that moment, Lin Gantang came over and asked, “Tongtong, haven’t you made a choice yet?”
“I’m looking at foundations,” Jiang Tongtong replied, putting down the tester she was holding.
“Pack up both,” Lin Gantang instructed with folded arms, her smile bordering mockery as she turned to Liu Yuelan: “Who says it can’t be used? We’re buying it to give away, not that we can’t afford it.”
Liu Yuelan, noticing the shopping bag from their own store in Lin Gantang’s hand, realized this customer was willing to spend, and sheepishly went to fetch the new foundation.
After Liu Yuelan finished prepping, Lin Gantang added, “The whole range of lipsticks too, one full set. Why bother testing? Are we short on cash?”
Jiang Tongtong: “… But there are many shades I won’t use.”
“You might not use them, but that doesn’t mean you should lack them, OK?” Lin Gantang gestured, prompting Liu Yuelan to immediately switch to an overly joyous demeanor.
She thought it would be a no-sale, but then suddenly, a big order came through!
The whole range! A full set! Over a hundred sticks!
“Miss, some shades are currently sold out at our counter and it will take some time to restock. Plus, holding them might be inconvenient for you while shopping. May I have your address to deliver them for you?” Liu Yuelan said, fawning to the point of almost bowing deeply.
“Sure,” Lin Gantang replied nonchalantly.
Liu Yuelan loved generous and decisive customers the most, presenting the prepared foundation to Lin Gantang with a beaming smile: “Will you pay by card or mobile payment? We accept both here.”
Lin Gantang gave her a sidelong glance, took the foundation, and placed it in front of the male store assistant who had been serving her earlier, her fair fingers passing him a black card: “Check out.”
Liu Yuelan’s smile completely stiffened.
The unexpected windfall left the male store assistant a bit dazed, but he quickly took the card: “Of course, Miss.”
Before leaving, Jiang Tongtong looked at Liu Yuelan, whose face was clouded with regret, and felt quite satisfied.
“What’s the deal with Liu Yuelan? Her attitude changed drastically from before. Does the counter like to employ such people?” Jiang Tongtong wondered aloud.
“It’s a big brand, and she’s been standing there for so long, she thinks she’s above everyone else now,” was the reply.
“I vaguely remember she used to be nice. How did she become like this?”
Lin Gantang said, “Don’t try to figure out human nature, it will only disappoint you.”
Liu Yuelan was an insignificant person, and soon Jiang Tongtong pushed her out of her mind. She casually carried Lin Gantang’s shopping bag and saw it was filled with skincare that was safe to use during pregnancy and nursing, along with a bit of makeup.
Tangtang was pregnant, so switching to a new skincare line made sense, but concealer…
Jiang Tongtong looked at her flawless, porcelain skin and voiced her confusion, “You don’t have any blemishes, why do you need to buy concealer?”
Lin Gantang: “Emmmm…”
For that question, you’ll have to ask Wen Yanqing.
