013 Prestigious VIP
A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin!
And stock availability, you say?!
I bet you've lived this long without even hearing what haute couture is.
Li Manman leaned back on the soft sofa, surveying Sister Wang, who was attending to Yan Yueqing, "Sister Wang, where's my merchandise?"
Sister Wang politely replied, "Miss Li, please have a seat; Xiao Cen has already gone to fetch it."
Drumming her fingers, Li Manman haughtily commanded, "Today I want to check out other styles, you introduce them to me."
Sister Wang hesitated, "This..."
Yan Yueqing didn't mind at all, "Go ahead."
After thinking for two seconds, Sister Wang decided to adhere to professional ethics and, with a smile, said, "Once Xiao Cen returns with the goods, she will offer you one-on-one service."
Li Manman's face soured, "I just spent three hundred thousand in your store, the order's not even cold yet, and you fob me off with the newbie?"
Where would Sister Wang dare, "Miss Li, that's not what I meant."
Li Manman dominated the conversation, "Well, either come over now and assist me, or don't bother with any of my future orders!"
At these words, Sister Wang gasped in shock.
Hearing this, Xiao Mei, another sales assistant nearby, quickly stepped forward with a portfolio in her hands.
She was the perennial runner-up in the store, always trailing behind Sister Wang in sales performance.
No matter how similar their service, she could never catch up.
After all, it all came down to joining the field too late! T city is only so big, the circle of the wealthy is just those few people. They recognize Sister Wang, naturally, they wouldn't spare Xiao Mei a second glance.
But Li Manman was different, she was a celebrity, an outsider. If she was well catered to, a word from her in the circle and who wouldn't come to buy bags here?
Only Sister Wang was foolish enough to let go of a client who had already bought haute couture bags, just to avoid offending Yan Yueqing for some uncertain potential.
Xiao Mei seized the moment and approached, bootlicking, "Miss Li, Sister Wang is busy, let me do it. I'm Xiao Mei. The last time you were here, I was the one who served you tea."
Li Manman had an impression of her, "Hmm, I know."
To please her, Xiao Mei said, "Don't be angry, Sister Wang is just inflexible, always sticking to the rules, and in the end, she's the one who's going to suffer!"
Li Manman found these words comforting, "You are clever indeed."
"How could you be in this line of work without good judgment?" Xiao Mei glanced towards where Yan Yueqing was and mocked, "Despite the hustle and bustle in the store, I know crystal clear who intends to buy, who's just here for window-shopping, and who's pretending to be rich."
Li Manman was decked in designer labels, whereas Yan Yueqing was dressed like a complete country bumpkin.
Claiming to be here to choose a bag yet not looking at the products on the shelves but instead at the portfolio.
Why's that?
Because the portfolio lists the prices!
Seeing her flipping rapidly through the book, she was probably terrified by the prices inside!
Completely lacking the composure of Miss Li.
Compare the two, and it's clear who's faking it and who's really here to buy a bag—no contest!
Yet Sister Wang seems oblivious, insisting on serving Yan Yueqing?
Stupid! Just plain stupid!
Li Manman thought she was doing very well, contentedly saying, "You understand how things work! Unlike some people who scorn real treasures and choose to serve rubbish instead! Just wait, within half an hour, that person will be looking for an excuse to leave."
Xiao Mei nodded repeatedly.
"Imagine, wasting all that effort and losing a client you already had in hand, how pitiful."
Xiao Mei felt Li Manman understood her completely, and she took even greater pains in introducing the products, almost glorifying them to the skies.
Blown away by Xiao Mei's flattery, Li Manman decided on the spot to buy another newly-released bag.
Xiao Mei, elated, stood up to fetch the goods and complete the paperwork, and as she passed Yan Yueqing, she deliberately made her high heels click loudly on the floor.
Sister Wang's head was spinning!
She knew all too well what Xiao Mei was bragging about!
But having adhered to her principles throughout her career, she just couldn't change them that easily.
Taking a deep breath, Sister Wang strove to maintain a calm tone, "Miss, did you find any style to your liking? I can show you the available stock."
"No need," Yan Yueqing finished flipping through the entire portfolio, and gently shook her head.
This attitude made Sister Wang's heart skip a beat!
Could it be... that she had been mistaken in her persistence?
That Yan Yueqing had no intention to buy at all?
Li Manman finally saw Sister Wang stiffen up and walked over, smiling, apparently trying to smooth things over, "What's wrong, Yueqing didn't find a style you liked?"
Yan Yueqing lifted her lashes, "Do you have any recommendations?"
Li Manman gave her an incredulous look, "If you can't afford it, just say so early on. Even Xiao Wang won't serve me now, eagerly trying to please you instead, only to end up with nothing but the cold wind to comfort her. How tragic."
Her words sent Sister Wang's heart plummeting to rock bottom.
Yan Yueqing asked Tang Tang, "Do you see anything you like?"
Tang Tang pointed stylishly a couple of times, "These bags all look nice."
Yan Yueqing decisively clapped her hands, "Okay, we'll take these."
Li Manman thought she misheard, "Are you crazy? Those cost over two hundred thousand each!"
Not combined, but two hundred thousand each!
A casual point at a few bags, and together they would amount to over a million!!
Could Yan Yueqing really fork out that much money?!
Was she addicted to pretending to be a tycoon?
Yan Yueqing looked gently at Sister Wang, "Do you have these bags in stock?"
Sister Wang scrambled up from the abyss, hastily replying, "Yes, yes, yes! Ah, that's not right, we have these models in stock, but for the others, I need to arrange a transfer from the main store. Would Miss Yan mind waiting a moment? I will contact the main store immediately."
"Besides the ones Tang Tang has chosen…" Yan Yueqing pointed to a few bags of the same price range, "If these are also in stock, bring them all. I'll pay by card."
Li Manman's eyes bulged.
Eleven bags in total, nearly three million estimated?!
Sister Wang immediately inflated with excitement, almost breezing as she walked, "Eh, I'll go arrange the transfer right now!"
She had seen plenty of clients who could drop over a million in one go.
But like today's customer, someone who buys a dozen LVs as gifts, she had never seen before!
Even after contacting the headquarters, Sister Wang felt almost weightless.
She considerately brought the order to Yan Yueqing, "Miss Yan, you've purchased so many products from our store, we've upgraded you to Advanced VIP for free. You now have the right to personal allocations at all LV stores. May we have your contact information?"
A membership card then?
Yan Yueqing turned to Tang Tang, "Do you have a phone number?"
Tang Tang nodded, "I do!"
A Genius Kids' wristwatch phone!
Yan Yueqing was decisive, "The VIP can be registered under Tang Tang's information."
The people nearby were left dumbstruck.
What?!
A high-end VIP for LV stores, for a little kid?
Is she serious?
Even Li Manman was shocked, "Yan Yueqing, you—"
Isn't this too much of a fawning behavior?
She's dropping three million just to curry favor with Tang Tang?!
Tang Tang blinked, "Why do you need my information?"
Of course, your information is needed!
The nurturing funds are meant for spending on you!
Yan Yueqing smiled and said, "Because all these things are being bought for you! You've spent so much time with your aunties and uncles, you must know which bag suits who the best, right? Let Tang Tang decide who gets each bag later, alright?"
Tang Tang didn't understand how much money these things cost, thought this was as easy as completing a Mission, and cheerfully replied, "Okay!"
It was not until Yan Yueqing took out her card and swiftly paid the bill that Li Manman realized—
This bit*h really has money, huh?!
No!
If you're so rich!
Then why the hell are you even participating in a reality show? Collecting your sister's appearance fee!
Xiao Mei watched enviously on the side, her eyes nearly turning green.
She regretted it!
If only she had known she was dealing with a big spender, she wouldn't have offended Yan Yueqing earlier just to cater to Li Manman's order!
Disaster, pure disaster…
But Yan Yueqing paid no attention to Xiao Mei!
A brilliant idea for consuming struck her mind suddenly, and she called back Sister Wang, "By the way, do you have any pre-payment services here, like pre-loading ten million onto a card or something?"
