Chapter 171 Picked Up a Salesperson
Shen Wancheng's "darling" made Gu Jinxing's lips involuntarily curl into a smile.
"It's okay, you can try as many as you want as you want, as long as you're happy."
Lisa remained silent.
A sales assistant named Lucy suddenly stepped forward and spoke up.
"Ms. Shen, could you please wait two minutes while I reprint your order and process your VIP card?"
Shen Wancheng glanced at the two sales assistants, Lisa and Lucy.
Thinking to myself that Lucy wasn't a complete pushover, she did know to stand up for herself.
Shen Wancheng pulled Gu Jinxing to sit down again.
"Okay, I'll wait five more minutes."
In just two minutes, Lucy handed the new shopping list and VIP card to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng readily signed and swiped her card.
Gu Jinxing knew that if he insisted on swiping the card, it would only upset Shen Wancheng, so he didn't do anything extra and just accepted the seven or eight shopping bags containing clothes that Lucy handed him.
After leaving the Gucci store, Gu Jinxing handed all the shopping bags to the bodyguards guarding the door.
Then Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing went to the next place.
Gu Jinxing only asked Shen Wancheng after they had already looked at shoes, ties and other accessories at the next store.
"You seem to really admire that saleswoman named Lucy."
Shen Wancheng asked with a smile.
Is it that obvious?
"It's not obvious, but you can tell."
"I see. I think she has good professional skills as a sales assistant, and I admire her."
"Will you come and talk to her later?"
"That's not the case."
Although the saleswoman named Lucy was quite professional, she wasn't someone Shen Wancheng considered an invaluable talent.
Shen Wancheng's luxury brand store is about to open, and she plans to open two stores in two shopping malls near Central and Victoria Harbour.
We'll definitely need to hire sales assistants then.
However, as the company's chairman and president, Shen Wancheng would not go so far as to personally select the store sales staff.
Shen Wancheng said it wasn't that bad, and Gu Jinxing understood what Shen Wancheng was thinking.
He changed the subject.
What are you planning to do next?
Shen Wancheng retorted, "You always ask me what I'm doing, which makes me feel very bored. You're like an emotionless robot."
"Sorry, let me think about it."
Shen Wancheng said speechlessly, "You're right to think about it, but please don't keep saying sorry all the time. If you apologize too often, those two words will lose all meaning."
Nobody wants to hear their partner apologize endlessly every day.
Gu Jinxing listened attentively and nodded.
"remember."
Shen Wancheng really thought Gu Jinxing was too straight-laced and old-fashioned.
But what can I do? He's my future husband.
Let's train them slowly.
After Gu Jinxing agreed, he began to think about what else he could do next.
But he hadn't learned enough from his studies last night, and apart from watching movies, shopping, and going to amusement parks, he had no idea what else to do.
However, after they came out of a store, Shen Wancheng had an idea when she saw the billboards that could be seen everywhere in the mall.
"I had a great time shopping today, let's go look at houses."
Gu Jinxing was stunned for a moment.
I suddenly remembered a line from a movie he was watching.
When women shop, they're not buying objects, but rather badges of happiness for themselves; every purchase is a reward for life.
Although Shen Wancheng bought things for him today, now he wants to buy a house that can no longer be considered an item.
But it has been proven that shopping does indeed make Shen Wancheng happy.
Gu Jinxing agreed, "Okay, let's go buy the house then. But this time, shouldn't I pay for it?"
Shen Wancheng met Gu Jinxing's expectant gaze and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance."
It's important to understand that while houses on Hong Kong Island didn't sound expensive at that time—a "thousand-square-foot mansion" in Central was only around HK$100 million—the average salary on Hong Kong Island was less than HK$2000. So, was HK$100 million really a small amount?
Furthermore, as everyone knows, the 1980s and 1990s were a period of rapid economic growth for Hong Kong Island, and property prices also skyrocketed.
A luxury home that costs a million Hong Kong dollars now would have cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars by the late 90s, not even in the new century.
Gu Jinxing wants to buy a house for Shen Wancheng, but he still needs Shen Wancheng to give him a chance.
If an ordinary person heard this, they would be extremely envious of Shen Wancheng.
After Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing finalized their plans, they decided to leave the mall.
Before leaving, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing passed by the GUCCI store, and coincidentally, the sales assistant named Lucy was walking in front of them.
There was another sales assistant talking to her next to her.
"Liu Leqi, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not usually a pushover. Why were you so pathetic today? You almost let Lisa steal your order."
"It's not convenient to argue with her today."
"What's inconvenient about it? You're just too concerned about saving face. Lisa took advantage of that to openly steal my order. Do you think she'd dare to take my order?"
“It’s not that I’m concerned about saving face. We’ve had a falling out in private. If it weren’t for the customers, I wouldn’t give her any face either. But making a scene in front of customers would damage the company’s image.”
"I'm not trying to be mean, but you've gone crazy from all that studying. All you care about is the company image and brand image. You're a sales associate, not the company's CEO. Why are you worrying about these things? The company isn't going to pay you a penny more."
"Oh well, never mind, I know you're doing this for my own good. Anyway, she didn't manage to snag it in the end, and that commission from that sale was enough for a month's salary. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Okay."
Liu Leqi was talking to her friend as she entered the elevator. When she turned around, she saw Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing following behind them.
Liu Leqi thought about her conversation with her friend just now and gave a stiff smile.
However, I still greeted them politely.
"Miss Shen, sir, hello, what a coincidence. Thank you again for helping me out today, Miss Shen."
Shen Wancheng listened to everything Liu Leqi had just said and had new thoughts about Liu Leqi.
She took out a pen and paper from her handbag and wrote down Li Su's name and his office phone number.
Then she handed the paper to Liu Leqi.
"This is a local luxury goods company in Hong Kong. They will be recruiting sales assistants soon. If you are interested, you can call this number to inquire."
Liu Leqi blankly accepted the paper that Shen Wancheng handed her.
She hadn't quite grasped what was going on, but she thanked him first.
"Thank you, I will keep an eye on it."
Shen Wancheng smiled at Liu Leqi, said nothing more, and walked directly with Gu Jin after the elevator arrived.
Since it was almost noon, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing went to have lunch first, and then went to a famous real estate development in Central to buy a house in the afternoon.
