Chapter 275
She used to like saying such things to Shi Jin, hinting at how good her relationship with the Li family was. She told her that the Li family couldn't bear for her to leave and treated her as their only daughter. They would never bring Shi Jin back again.
In the past, Shi Jin would always believe her foolishly, but was Shi Jin the same as before?
Shi Jin did not even glance at Shi Xuexin from the corner of her eyes. She said to the salesperson, "I was the one who asked for this set of clothes first, wasn't I?"
In reality, it was indeed Shi Jin who had spoken first.
Although Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia had seen many sets of clothes, they had never looked at this one. Chu Jia had only spoken after Shi Jin.
However, the sales assistant did not want to offend Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually... Miss Shi and Miss Chu had already taken a liking to this set of clothes. Before you."
Chu Jia looked up at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin could tell from the staff's stammering attitude that she was lying. As for Chu Jia and Shi Xuexin, they just wanted to snatch everything from her.
The sales assistant took another look at the bag that Shi Jin was holding. As Shi Jin was going on stage today, she was actually holding a branded bag. It was a limited edition bag that had just appeared on the international stage and had not been officially released in the country.
Yao Jiahong had gotten it through his connections. It was precisely because of this that the salesperson could not help but feel a sense of disdain when she saw Shi Jin carrying it like this.
She did not know whether it was a replica made by some shop on the Internet, but she didn't realize that it was just a more low-profile design. She assumed it was fake at a glance.
It was really funny.
Shi Jin, who was carrying "fake goods", was completely different from Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia, who were carrying branded bags.
The salesperson's lips moved as she pointed to a shop nearby and said, "That shop's clothes should suit you better. Their prices are much lower. Go take a look."
Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia both knew that it was not a problem for Shi Jin to purchase the clothes in this store. However, the sales assistant had actually said that to Shi Jin, making them feel a sense of satisfaction.
So what if Shi Jin had reached a high position? In the eyes of others, a fake heiress and a woman from a small town would always be like this.
Shi Xuexin's voice was also very gentle. "Why don't you look elsewhere?"
"I came over first. I've taken a liking to this set of clothes. You want me to look elsewhere. Is this how you do business?" Shi Jin's voice became colder.
The salesperson initially did not want to offend Shi Jin, but when she saw that Shi Jin was being like that and was still speaking in such a tone, she became firm. "Our clothes are for people like Miss Shi and Miss Chu who have cash to spend. For others, they are only here to take a look at or try on. I usually advise them to go to places more appropriate for them. Otherwise, if they cause a problem here, there's no way they could pay the damages, right?"
"I understand." Shi Jin raised her head to look at the girl, then glanced at her name tag before turning to leave.
The salesclerk gave a sarcastic smile. It was good that she had left on her own so that she would not have to waste any more of her breath.
To be honest, as sales attendants, they were especially afraid of encountering people who didn't know how to appreciate good stuff. They would look around and try stuff on randomly, but in the end, they wouldn't buy anything at all. It would only increase the staff's workload.
Chu Jia also added, "I already said that we were the ones who took a liking to it first. Why must she compete with us? Is there any point?"
Shi Xuexin said, "Alright, let's take a look at the clothes first. I guess that this'll suit Big Brother very well."
Ever since she had found out about Gu Jingyuan's true identity from Wen Yongwei, she had been thinking of ways to improve her relationship with her brother. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
She had not expected that a small family like the Li family would have a genius doctor like Gu Jingyuan! She should have known!
Thinking back to that time, she remembered that Gu Jingyuan had gone overseas to study. She had always blamed her family, thinking that they favored boys over girls and specially sent the boys out without her.
Thinking about it, Gu Jingyuan must have had exceptional results back then and skipped grades. There was no school in the town suitable for him, so he had gone off to study.
Although she still did not want to mend her relationship with the rest of the family, Shi Xuexin did not want to neglect Gu Jingyuan.
After Shi Jin walked out, she opened his cell phone and flipped through it. On the property deed book that her gr andfather had given her, she found the address of the commercial building.
It turned out that the entire floor was under her name.
She dialed the number of the person in charge of this building. "I want to increase the rent."
Instantly, everyone there was alarmed.
The Hua City Commercial Building was an old commercial building in Beijing. Because of its good location and high footfall, the rent was always very high. However, the entire Hua City Commercial Building was controlled by a certain family that did not lack money.
The shops were only rented and not sold, so even the top international brands had to put in a lot of effort to move into the Hua City Commercial Building.
Now that Shi Jin wanted to increase the rent, how could these people not panic?
Increasing rent was a small matter, but if they were to move out, it would be a big matter!
The Hua City Commercial Building was situated at the forefront of all the major commercial buildings in Beijing. There was no need to worry about new businessmen renting it. However, if they couldn't rent the place, where would they run their business?
A moment later, a few high-ranking executives of the Chinese commercial building caught up with Shi Jin.
A few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes followed Shi Jin, displaying extremely respectful and humble attitudes.
"Miss Shi, I'm really sorry. The commercial building changed hands some time ago. We were negligent and should have come to see you earlier."
"Yes, it was our mistake. I'm very sorry."
They all thought that Shi Jin was angry because of this. However, they were also helpless. Previously, although they had known that the commercial building had changed owners, they hadn't known the identity of the new owner, nor had they known how to find out. That was why it had been delayed until now.
If they had known that it was Shi Jin, they would have stood in front of her and waited for her to speak.
"Miss Shi, it's okay to raise the rent. As long as it's within a certain limit..."
Seeing that Shi Jin did not speak, the higher-ups took the initiative to speak first. They did not want Shi Jin to get angry and not be able to communicate properly.
Shi Jin had a sudden impulse to increase the rent. She did not want to make things difficult for them.
She gave them a lazy look and said, "Then let's just increase that one's rent."
She pointed to the shop where she had bought the clothes.
The upper echelons heaved a sigh of relief. It would be easy if it was just that shop. Better than all of them rising.
One of them said, "Miss Shi, can I know why we're only increasing that shop's price? You must know... we've signed a contract. If anyone asks, we should at least explain."
"Don't they hate contracts? They just sell clothes. They don't even care about the order of arrival or departure. They do everything according to what the salesperson wants. If I increase the rent, I'll be happy."
When Shi Jin said that, those higher-ups were smart and immediately knew what was going on.
Some of them quickly invited Shi Jin to go to other shops to shop, some served tea, and some came to persuade her.
Shi Jin did not want to stay any longer. She did not drink a single mouthful of tea and only chose a few sets of clothes for Fu Xiuyuan before leaving.
