Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen

Chapter 50 Can you afford it?

 It was a small ready-to-wear store. The store was very quiet. On the streamlined and simple clothes racks, pieces of exquisite clothing were displayed at random. They were all ingenious designs, elegant styles, and unique.

Xia Ling looked at them one by one, but she couldn't say she liked them very much. She was spoiled by Pei Ziheng in her previous life, and the clothes she wore were all 100% natural fabrics, with no trace of man-made fibers to be found. In this store right now, the clothes are as chic as they come, but the materials they use are a bit lacking. Natural fabrics are mixed with man-made fibers, which may be comfortable enough for many people, but for Xia Ling, who is used to wearing better materials. , I can only make do with it.

But she knew that now was not the time to pay attention to these things. In any case, these clothes were already much better than the seasonal discounts she was wearing. She looked at them one by one, selected a light white knitted sweater with fine tassels, and reached out to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, another hand stretched out from the side and snatched the shirt away at lightning speed.

Xia Ling turned around and saw a very beautiful girl, carefully put on makeup, with domineering eyes and brows. Seeing Xia Ling looking over, the girl glared at her arrogantly, "What are you looking at? I want this dress." After saying that, she waved her hand and threw it to the assistant behind her, "Take it to the checkout and wrap it up."

The assistant was obedient, took the shirt and was about to leave.

 “Wait a minute.” Xia Ling’s cold voice.

"What, do you have any objections?" The girl raised her delicate chin high, crossed her arms and asked Xia Ling disdainfully.

"I took a fancy to this dress first." Xia Ling felt that her temper had become much calmer in her life. However, she still couldn't bear to be bullied to the point of being bullied.

The girl became even more disdainful. She deliberately looked up and down at her shabby seasonal discounted clothes and laughed: "Who are you? You went to the wrong store? Do you know how expensive the clothes in this store are? Can you afford it? Pauper." Don’t be embarrassed, really. Xiaoli—why did you let everyone in?”

 She said the last sentence in a long tone, but she said it in the direction of the counter.

 In front of the cashier counter, a young female teller raised her head when she heard the sound. Her eyes fell on Xia Ling, and she could see at a glance that everything Xia Ling wore was cheap. I was afraid that all the outfits on her body would not be able to afford even one silk scarf in the store. Although there was no expression on her face, a touch of contempt arose in her heart. What was such a pauper doing in the store? Doesn't it lower the quality of the store? She was indeed careless just now. She was busy paying the bill and didn't notice that such a person had sneaked in. She had to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, Xiaoli walked over with a smile: "Sister Bei'er, don't be angry. It's because I didn't treat you well. I'll give you an extra brooch later as an apology." Grab Xia Ling The girl in the dress, named Li Beier, is a little star and a senior member of the store. She often comes to the store to spend money and has given Xiaoli a lot of sales.

After Xiaoli finished trying to please Li Beier, she turned to Xia Ling, still smiling, with a hint of subtle reserve unknowingly in her smile: "Miss, do you need to buy anything? What's your budget?" , I can introduce you to suitable clothes."

Budget? Xia Ling didn't know what the budget was, so Sister Maina just told her to pick four or five sets from head to toe. After choosing, she would sign the contract directly, and then sign with Tianyi. It would not exceed the budget. Xia Ling was never sensitive to numbers, so she forgot to ask about the specific amount.

 So, she shook her head: "I don't have the budget. I have to buy four or five sets of daily wear."

"Ha, four or five sets," Li Beier laughed out loud as if she had heard some big joke, "Do you know how much this sweater costs? Let me tell you, it costs four to five thousand! The coat you are wearing is only How much? Forty or fifty?"

 “Haha.” The assistant behind her couldn’t help but laugh.

Even Xiaoli’s smile widened slightly, feeling that this shabby girl was really ridiculous. She looked at Xia Ling with contempt and pity: "Miss, a set of clothes here costs tens of thousands of yuan." The implication is that if you don't have money, get out of here.

Xia Ling frowned, and the anger in her heart was rising. Isn't this looking down on others?

"I want that knitted sweater, I took a fancy to it first." She said coldly, "It's only four or five thousand." If she hadn't been reduced to this in her life, she wouldn't have worn this kind of clothes before.

  Xiaoli's face turned cold: "Miss, please don't be so troublesome."    Great, is she being so troublesome? Xia Ling laughed angrily and said to Xiaoli, "Your ability to confuse right and wrong and that woman's shamelessness in robbing things are both amazing."

 “You!” Xiaoli and Li Beier both changed their faces with anger.

 “Kick her out!” Li Beier stamped her foot, “Otherwise I will never come to your store again!”

　　Xiao Li was shocked. This Li Bei'er was a big customer. If she didn't come, she would suffer a big loss in sales. Then the bonus would be...

 “Miss, please leave.” Xiaoli said to Xia Ling.

"Are you chasing away guests?" Xia Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Even if I want to buy clothes here, are you chasing away guests?"

"Stop pretending to be fat." In order to calm down Li Beier's anger, Xiaoli took off her hypocritical smile mask at the beginning and directly mocked, "How can a village girl like you deserve to buy from our store? Things? I think you are buying something fake, but you are actually here to steal it. Go away quickly, you are such a thief, you are really disgusting.”

“Miss Li also thinks I am a thief?” Xia Ling asked coldly.

"Isn't it?" Seeing Xia Ling being ridiculed, Li Beier's face showed a happy smile, "If you weren't a thief, what would you be doing here? If you don't leave, we will call the security guard and you will be held hostage. Throw it out of the store, tsk tsk, how ugly it is.”

 “Very good.” Unexpectedly, Xia Ling smiled slightly, turned around and left.

 Xiao Li and Li Beier didn't expect it to be so easy, and they were both a little stunned for a moment. Xia Ling put one hand in her pocket and walked towards the store door in a relaxed and calm manner, but before she had taken a few steps, she was stopped by someone.

 “This lady, please stay.” A gentle baritone voice.

Xia Ling didn't want to talk to him at first, but she was a voice control. This person's voice was so pleasant that she stopped in her tracks without realizing it. She turned around and saw a mixed-race man. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with a pair of deep and charming eyes. When he smiled, he had shallow dimples on his cheeks.

Xia Ling tilted her head and asked with her eyes.

The man came over and said, "Sorry, the teller in my store was ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Who are you?"

 “Lucas.”

 It turned out that he was Lucas, the person Sister Maina asked her to find. Just now, she was casually browsing in the store, and before she had time to find someone, she got into a fight. Now, the real owner finally came out.
