Bai Xiaosheng was in a clothing store, selling clothes for an hour. During that time, customers practically flooded in.
Those who had bought clothes came back, bringing along their families and sisters, causing quite a stir.
Moreover, the sales staff were promoting under the store manager’s instruction, telling customers that this young master of fashion styling was only staying for an hour, an opportunity too rare to miss.
Instantly, it sent people into a frenzy.
There was even a long line forming at the checkout.
The store manager couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.
The foot traffic and sales rate for this one hour today simply peaked for the month!
No, it was the daily peak of the entire quarter!
Just for this, giving that man a "25% discount" was totally worth it!
At worst, they would miss out on the profit of a few pieces of clothing!
The store manager was extremely satisfied with his "brilliant decision."
Bai Xiaosheng, Su Lingyu, and Jiang Yue left with the clothes they had purchased and checked out.
The store manager followed them, smiling at Bai Xiaosheng, "Young man, are you interested in working as a sales consultant? I’ll offer you ten thousand a month. Do you think the position is too low? How about assistant store manager? There’s commission too!"
In the eyes of the beautiful store manager, Bai Xiaosheng was not merely a person but a walking Divine Artifact attracting wealth.
A sales consultant earning ten thousand a month plus commission!
In Linzhou, this was simply unimaginable!
Jiang Yue was so shocked she wished she could take Bai Xiaosheng’s place and accept the offer herself.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng, with a smile, gently declined.
He didn’t even blink at the offer of ten thousand, what a snob!
Jiang Yue felt a surge of irritation.
After leaving the clothing store, it was almost one o’clock. Su Lingyu said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, "Making you help out twice, I feel bad. Let me treat you to a meal."
"Forget it, I’ll treat you instead. After all, I’m staying at your place, and for room and board..." Bai Xiaosheng smiled. "I’m sorry, I forgot you don’t like to talk about that. Well, just think of me as a guy who can’t accept a woman paying."
Su Lingyu wanted to say more, but then heard Jiang Yue sneering sarcastically at Bai Xiaosheng, "You’re offering to pay? Do you even have the money?"
Clearly, the girl was angry.
Earlier in the store, she had repeatedly asked for recommendations, and Bai Xiaosheng had ignored her while helping another young lady choose.
She thought he couldn’t hear her because of the noise and crowd.
But when Su Lingyu said a few words, not even loudly, Bai Xiaosheng immediately responded.
Jiang Yue was fuming at this point, showing not a hint of gratitude towards Bai Xiaosheng, but rather an increased animosity.
"I don’t have money, but you do," said Bai Xiaosheng to Jiang Yue with a chuckle. "You made me miss my high-speed train to Yunhai. Starting from here, that’s hundreds of yuan, isn’t it? Just take it out."
Jiang Yue’s complexion changed instantly, and she wanted to say outright—I won’t give it.
Yet, deep down, she didn’t want to owe anything to this guy!
"Let’s go. We’re not just going to eat, but also watch a movie. Ah, there seems to be a very popular domestic military film out now, I can’t wait!" Bai Xiaosheng walked ahead, calling out to Su Lingyu, "Oh, and I’ve been asked to buy some dried fruits and candied goodies. Could you recommend some stores later, please?"
Su Lingyu saw Bai Xiaosheng’s exaggerated acts, then looked at Jiang Yue whose face was almost a shade of purple, her eyes filled with rage, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
When will these two ever stop their endless bickering?
Eventually, the three of them found a decent Chinese restaurant and ordered a lavish lunch.
Su Lingyu and Bai Xiaosheng chatted happily about literature and fashion.
Jiang Yue sat with a tense face, furiously chewing her food as though she were gnawing at Bai Xiaosheng himself.
After finishing the meal, Bai Xiaosheng called over the waiter with an air of supremacy, truly acting the part of a big boss even more than the big bosses themselves, and pointed at Jiang Yue, "My assistant, pay the bill!"
The waiter looked at Bai Xiaosheng with utmost respect and then turned to Jiang Yue with a smile.
Jiang Yue felt like smashing the plate in Bai Xiaosheng’s face but in the end, she gritted her teeth and reached for her wallet, slamming each bill onto the table with force.
The waiter’s expression turned peculiar.
Do assistants nowadays all have such big tempers?
Doesn’t this girl’s hand hurt?
After leaving the restaurant, Bai Xiaosheng said to Su Lingyu with a smile, "It’s still early, are you in a hurry to go home? If not, let’s go see a movie, my treat."
"Sure," Su Lingyu replied with a slight flush on her cheeks and a smile.
"Not going, Lingyu is coming home with me," Jiang Yue said.
"You’re the one in a hurry, you go ahead," Su Lingyu replied earnestly.
Jiang Yue shot Bai Xiaosheng a sideways glance and said through gritted teeth, "With so many fraudsters around these days, how can I leave you alone with a man whose background I don’t know? No way! If you don’t leave, I’m coming with you!"
"If you want to come, then come, I’ll treat you to the movie as well," Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh, "Of course, you’ll have to pay."
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s demeanor, Jiang Yue sincerely wished she could beat him to death.
And so, the three of them strolled down the street, looking for a movie theater.
Along the way, Bai Xiaosheng even found an old-time shop selling dried fruits and candied goods and made some purchases – naturally, Jiang Yue was the one who paid.
Jiang Yue didn’t want to pay, so Su Lingyu took the initiative to pay for Bai Xiaosheng instead.
"That’s fine, let her pay you back later. If she won’t even pay you back such a small amount of money, it’s better to cut ties with such a stingy friend," Bai Xiaosheng teased.
"Bai Xiaosheng, you’re a jerk, a bad person!"
Jiang Yue was so angry her teeth itched; she very much wanted to grab Bai Xiaosheng’s arm and twist the flesh a few times.
That would surely feel incredibly satisfying!
The three of them eventually found a theater and bought tickets for the 3:30 p.m. show, also purchasing some popcorn and drinks along the way.
During the movie, Jiang Yue stuffed her mouth with popcorn, chewing furiously, using her appetite to vent her frustration.
Su Lingyu bit her lip, trying not to laugh.
This was probably the first time someone had managed to humiliate her strong-willed friend to such an extent.
Two hours later, when the movie ended, it was almost 5:30 p.m.
The daylight was fading.
"It’s time to go home, it will take an hour to get back by bus," Su Lingyu said.
No sooner had she spoken, when Jiang Yue suddenly yelled, "Oh no, Lingyu! I left the bag with the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone you bought inside!"
They had too many things, spread out everywhere, and with all her anger, she had become muddled again.
"I’ll go back and look for it!" Su Lingyu said, ready to return.
"Let me do it, you two wait here for a while," Bai Xiaosheng said and quickly turned back.
"This guy, acting quite manly all of a sudden," Jiang Yue muttered, watching Bai Xiaosheng’s retreating figure, then her anger returned, "If it weren’t for him, how could I have forgotten my stuff! He really pisses me off, he’s nothing but a jinx!"
"Xiaoyu, it seems like you have a pretty good impression of him; you better not really fall for him. A man like him will only bring you bad luck!" Jiang Yue emphasized seriously.
Su Lingyu looked at her friend with amusement and annoyance.
This little gossip, so petty; with Bai Xiaosheng offending her to such an extent, she was seeking revenge.
"Ah, you..." Su Lingyu sighed helplessly and shook her head.
