Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Zhi was seething with anger. Why hadn’t she realized that Lin Shuang was such a person before?
Seeing that Xia Wan wasn’t eating much, Song Zhi decided to ask the waitress to wrap up the leftovers and give them to Zhou Chen. She hadn’t taken Zhou
Chen to a Western restaurant before.
Song Zhi felt rather dissatisfied with the meal. While the food tasted good, she was disappointed that she hadn’t seen any surprise or shock on Xia Wan’s face. Especially when it came time to foot the bill, Song Zhi wanted to give Lin Shuang a piece of her mind.
All those smiles… he had been following her around every day, seemingly only interested in taking advantage of her.
Seeing Song Zhi’s unhappiness, Xia Wan couldn’t help but feel pleased.
Xia Wan smiled and said, “Let’s go. I can accompany you to look at clothes now.
I’ve made you spend money.”
Song Zhi snorted coldly and remained silent.
On the way to the clothing store, Xia Wan was engrossed in conversation with Liu Hua, while Song Zhi remained silent, and Lin Shuang chatted with another girl about school gossip.
Liu Hua muttered softly, “They’re always gossiping about school stuff. How boring. If they put in the effort, they could get into a good university.” “Everyone has their own aspirations; they just don’t see the value in studying.” Soon, they arrived at the clothing store, and Song Zhi’s smile finally returned.
Upon entering the shop, she noticed an elegantly dressed young lady at the front desk.
When Song Zhi walked in, the girl greeted her with a warm smile and said,
“Welcome.”
Song Zhi turned to Xia Wan and remarked, “Did you see that? Her service attitude is much better than yours.”
Xia Wan also looked at the girl. It was Liu Sha, the person she had asked for help.
Upon seeing Xia Wan, Liu Sha’s smile became even more sincere. ‘Wanwan, you’re here. Are these your classmates?”
Song Zhi’s smile immediately faded, and she asked, “You know each other?”
Liu Sha, unaware of the dynamics, replied honestly, “I know her. I, Wan Wan, invited her to help me manage the shop.”
Song Zhi’s expression froze. She questioned Xia Wan, “What does this shop have to do with you?”
Xia Wan smiled and explained, “It’s our previous stall. My boss said we made good money for her, so she asked me to rent this shop to increase our income. She also asked me to help find new employees.”
As they began shopping for clothes, Song Zhi followed Xia Wan stiffly, feeling like a clown.
Lin Shuang and the others also appeared unhappy. Such a beautiful shop was managed by Xia Wan?
Lin Shuang couldn’t resist asking Xia Wan, “Is your boss in the county now? Can I work here too? What’s the salary?”
Xia Wan politely declined, “You can’t. You’re still a student. Our boss doesn’t hire students. She believes students should focus on their studies.”
“You’re a student too,” Lin Shuang retorted, “Why do you get to work here?”
Xia Wan replied matter-of-factly, “I only worked during the holidays. Now that school has started, I’ll focus on studying. It was you who brought me here; otherwise, I’d be studying right now.”
Lin Shuang was left speechless.
Xia Wan energetically introduced various clothes to Song Zhi. Song Zhi had fair skin, so Xia Wan selected a blue dress for her, paired it with a white cardigan, canvas shoes, and a blue hairband. She even tied the hairband for Song Zhi.
When Song Zhi looked at herself in the mirror, she felt satisfied. The blue dress accentuated her figure — long legs and a perfectly proportioned body. The blue hairband added to her overall look.
However, when Song Zhi turned to see Xia Wan smiling at her, she felt inexplicably frustrated.
Song Zhi had intended to humiliate Xia Wan, but her plan had backfired. She asked stiffly, “How much is this set?”
Xia Wan answered with a smile, “The dress is 120 yuan, the headband is 8 yuan, and the canvas shoes are 25 yuan.”
“I suggest you buy another 50 yuan item. That way, I can give you a sunblock
and a 9.0% discount ” Xia Wan nicked in a shirt and a pair of jeang and began measuring them on Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was touched by Xia Wan’s helpfulness.
When Song Zhi left the store, she had spent 220 yuan, leaving her with only three yuan in her pocket. This was the living allowance her parents had given her for the month, and she had spent it all in just a few days.
Song Zhi felt like crying, but when she looked at the clothes in the packaging, she couldn’t help but feel happy..
