Chapter 380: Chapter 378: Clichéd Plot

Nian Shutong took a couple of uncomfortable steps away from the enthusiastic salesperson.

"I’ll just look by myself."

She didn’t quite like unfamiliar people being so passionately fiery.

Ji Sisi immediately understood and stood beside Nian Shutong, saying to the salesperson, "We’ll look on our own."

The enthusiastic salesperson simply smiled and stood on Ji Sisi’s side, sensing that the other’s presence was a bit overwhelming.

Nian Shutong knew her size. She walked past the clothes rack, picking off one piece of clothing after another, which Ji Sisi would promptly take from her.

The sales associate behind them wasn’t sure whether they intended to try things on or buy everything.

But wasn’t that a bit too casual?

"How much? Add it up."

Nian Shutong held some items, Ji Sisi hugged others, and together they walked to the cashier’s counter.

The sales associate behind them, in disbelief, asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want all of these?"

"Yes, check out."

Nian Shutong didn’t quite understand what these people were thinking. She was here to buy clothes, and if she liked them, she bought them. Was there another step?

"Okay, okay."

The cashier, along with the sales associate, hurried over and started ringing up Nian Shutong’s purchases.

When Nian Shutong and Ji Sisi walked out empty-handed, several salespeople were still in a daze.

Which mountain did they just descend from?

They surely hoped they would come down from the mountain more often.

The three salespeople quickly organized themselves to dispatch the actual goods.

Doing business in the Star Network shop was to allow more people to buy the most suitable things for themselves.

Because they could see the material, try on the clothes, and adjust the sizes without having to buy and take them home only to find out they don’t fit.

But the two who had just splurged seemed like they didn’t need to.

After walking out, Nian Shutong, with Ji Sisi, swept through a few more stores with the same extravagance, the same boldness.

Nian Shutong bought some comfortable casual clothes, including some from an ancient-style shop.

Finally, on Ji Sisi’s suggestion, she also bought a few formal outfits, just in case they might come in handy someday.

With clothes about covered, Nian Shutong said to Ji Sisi, "Let’s look at shoes."

"You got it!"

Ji Sisi confidently led the way toward the shoe section, and the two went on a spree, scooping up some sporty shoes.

However, when passing by a high-heel store, Ji Sisi asked, "Eldest, want to try a couple of pairs?"

"Normally, I don’t wear them, but I could keep them just in case I need to one day."

"Sure."

Just as Nian Shutong was about to enter, her Light Computer chimed.

She lowered her head to check the message, followed by her little sidekick, Ji Sisi.

However, the confidence of both of them at the moment was not very apparent.

Eventually, they encountered a store that didn’t seem too fond of them.

After Nian Shutong checked her message and looked up again, she casually pointed at a pair of silver high heels.

"Let’s try these on."

She did try the shoes on.

If they weren’t comfortable, she wouldn’t buy them, no matter how flowery the salesperson’s pitch was.

By then, Nian Shutong had taken a seat on a chair in the store, with Ji Sisi standing beside her.

"Sit down."

"Okay!"

Ji Sisi flopped onto the chair as if she had an on-off switch.

On the other side, the reluctant salesperson still fetched the shoes, placing them on the ground.

What if they actually made a purchase?

Nian Shutong tried the silver high heels, found them uncomfortable, and immediately took them off. Pointing to another pair, she said, "These are not very comfortable to walk in, let me try those."

The sales clerk knelt down to fetch another pair of shoes, her expression intriguing, but she still patiently went to get another pair.

After Nian Shutong tried them on and walked a few steps, she still wasn’t quite accustomed to them.

"They’re not very comfortable to walk in."

As soon as she finished speaking, the standing clerk pursed her lips and said,

"People who wear our shoes don’t need to walk on their own."

Nian Shutong certainly noticed the clerk’s attitude, and her thought was, if you look down on me, why should I spend my money in your store?

"How is the business across from your store not doing very well?"

"So everyone who buys your shoes is in a wheelchair? That’s terribly unlucky, Eldest, we’re not buying."

Nian Shutong’s question and Ji Sisi’s snarky comment made the clerk’s mood fluctuate incessantly, her voice oozing impatience.

"Can’t you talk properly? Our customers are either rich or noble, they all have flying devices when they go out, who needs to walk!"

"If you’re not buying, then go check out the store across the street! You two are quite a match."

If people don’t respect me, why should I respect them?

Nian Shutong took off the shoes she was trying on, put on her own shoes, and grabbed Ji Sisi’s hand.

"Let’s go, this clerk obviously has delusions of grandeur, thinking she owns the place even though she’s earning a mere wage."

"Oh... you mean she’s Foolish?"

Nian Shutong, looking at the adorable Ji Sisi, tapped her nose with a finger, speaking in a volume that was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone to hear.

"No! Even Foolish has some charm, she’s just stupid without knowing it."

"Eldest, you’re so awesome! I’ve learned something new."

"Let’s go! Eldest will show you the joy of spending money!"

Nian Shutong pulled Ji Sisi along, and they quickly reached the less popular store across the street.

The clerk from behind was so angry she felt like exploding, but she still had the rationale to restrain herself from getting physical.

She could only watch huffily as the two went into the store.

At this time, in the store across the street.

"Welcome, please let me know what you need."

"My name is Xiao Xiao, and I’m very pleased to serve you."

The attitude was first-rate, the service was first-rate, and even the shoes inside were beautiful.

They had that ancient charm, not just blindly favoring high heels, varying heights and styles, all to Nian Shutong’s taste.

After all, she could be considered half a person from ancient times.

"I’ll try on this pair."

"Of course, please take a seat, I’ll bring them to you right away."

While Nian Shutong was trying on the shoes, the upset clerk stood at the entrance of her store, eyes filled with mockery as she looked across, not believing those two could actually buy anything.

The store across had unique designs and the prices were exorbitantly high, even pricier than their big-brand shoes, who would buy from them?

And they dared to mock her!

So what if she wasn’t the owner of the store? Her eyes were sharp; it was clear who could afford to buy and who couldn’t.

She was just about to see...

Impossible? The clerk was stunned, and her colleague next to her took pleasure in her misfortune.

Whenever this woman saw good customers, she sweet-talked and struck up conversations, always snatching up the sales.

Yet she always got her way, accumulating some clients, and they had long held grievances against her.

But she was the salesperson with the highest volume, valued by the boss because she brought in money—who would fire her?

"Wow, how much did they buy?"

"Judging by looks, it’s at least a dozen pairs of shoes, right?"

"Goodness! Their shoes are so expensive, if it were in our shop... incredible, truly incredible."

Isn’t it just incredible?

A pair of shoes from the store across cost enough to buy three from theirs.

The structures of the two stores were almost identical, only oriented differently.

The clerks could clearly see the cash register at the other counter continuously scanning the barcodes, concluding with a scan of a tall woman’s Light Computer.

This was definitely a successful purchase.
