"Twenty percent off!" Jiang Xue countered with a price. The quality of the clothes was indeed good, but two hundred and eighty yuan was really too expensive. Even with a twelve percent discount, it would still be over two hundred and forty yuan.
"Miss, this?" The sales clerk glanced at the boss, feeling a bit awkward. A fifteen percent discount was their lowest offer, but she was asking for twenty percent off.
Seeing the boss didn’t speak, the sales clerk added, "How about this, I’ll give you another three percent off, making it a fifteen percent discount."
"Twenty percent off!" Jiang Xue insisted. With a twenty percent discount, the clothes would be just right.
"Miss, our purchase costs are high, you should at least let us make a little profit, right?"
"Yes, I’m not asking you not to make a profit, just a little less. Twenty percent off, no haggling, or else I’ll buy from somewhere else."
After saying this, Jiang Xue made a gesture to leave, and finally, the boss spoke up, "Alright, give her twenty percent off."
"Okay, boss." With the boss having spoken, the sales clerk had nothing further to say. They helped Jiang Xue wrap up the clothes and took her money.
Having bought the clothes, Jiang Xue didn’t linger any longer, she had already spent a lot of time here. She needed to catch a bus, or she wouldn’t be able to go back today.
Seeing Jiang Xue about to leave, the boss immediately caught up, saying, "Miss, my name is He Liang, I’d like to make friends with you, if you don’t mind?" This text is hosted at novel✦fire.net
As a businessman, He Liang could tell Jiang Xue was no ordinary person at a glance. Even though she seemed impoverished now, he felt that given time, she would certainly soar to great heights.
He didn’t even know why he had this thought, it was just his intuition.
"Sure, my name is Jiang Xue!" Jiang Xue smiled and agreed, thinking that making more friends could only be beneficial for her.
Moreover, as a businessman, He Liang likely knew a lot of people. Someday, she might just need his help.
"Jiang Xue, hello, I’m He Liang. Here’s my business card. If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. Even buying clothes, you can come to me, and I’ll give you twenty percent off."
"Boss He, twenty percent off is too much, how about fifty percent off?" Jiang Xue joked, and He Liang was taken aback for a moment before bursting out in laughter, "Alright, fifty percent it is."
"Then it’s settled." Jiang Xue laughed as well, seeing that time was running out, she said, "Boss He, I don’t have time today, I have to get back. I’ll come find you another day when I have time."
"Are you off to catch a bus? I happen to have a car, how about I give you a lift?"
Jiang Xue glanced at He Liang, and then at Wang Ziwen, who had been silently accompanying her the whole time. Finally, she nodded and agreed, "Alright, then I’ll trouble Boss He to take us to the station."
If they walked, it would take at least half an hour, and the last bus would leave in forty minutes.
By car, it would at least be twice as fast.
He Liang smiled and agreed. Jiang Xue knew his car was parked near the management office, so she went along the way to say goodbye to Liu Yongfa before getting in He Liang’s car towards the bus station.
What originally needed a half-hour drive, took just ten minutes. Jiang Xue and Wang Ziwen got off the car, thanked He Liang, and then entered the station.
At the station, there were still twenty-five minutes before the bus departure. Wang Ziwen saw there was time, so he and Jiang Xue sat down.
After sitting down, neither of them spoke. Wang Ziwen looked at Jiang Xue with a face full of inquiry. Previously, he knew Jiang Xue too, just that although she was good at her studies, she was known to have a big temper. Apart from Cheng Li, she had no other friends.
