010 Made a Fool of Herself

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

After all, he needed to come out personally to receive her as it was a customer with such a big order.

After the store manager came down, he saw that Xia Jin was the only one in the entire store who was receiving the old lady.

"What are you all doing?!" The store manager glared angrily at the salespeople next to the counter. "Can't you see there's an important customer?!"

"An important customer? Where?" A few salespeople looked around in panic.

"Idiots!" The store manager cursed and rushed over to Xia Jin's side hurriedly. He flashed the old lady an extremely bright smile. "Hello, I'm the store manager here. Do you want to see any more styles?"

As soon as the store manager approached the old lady, he caught a whiff of the scent of an elegant perfume.

It was the Junior Collection perfume!

The store manager's back instantly crouched even lower.

"No need. You can just send this to my house when it's ready." The old lady waved her hand and left the store without saying anything more.

After the old lady left, the store manager straightened his back and looked at Xia Jin with a somewhat complicated look.

When the other salespeople found out that the old lady had placed an order of more than one million dollars, they were instantly filled with regret.

No one had expected that the old lady was actually an extremely wealthy woman.

Even when she went out to buy groceries, she sprayed a bottle of perfume that was worth several tens of thousands of dollars a bottle

This Xia Jin really had a discerning eye!

Everyone looked at Xia Jin with eyes filled with hostility and vigilance.

There was competition among fellow salespeople in luxury stores. Now that Xia Jin had taken such a large order, it aroused the vigilance of the others naturally.

"Well done. You all need to learn from Xia Jin! Even though each and every one of you have eyes, it is as if you're all blind!" The store manager reprimanded the other salespeople and left while cursing.

After the store manager left, the salespeople looked at each other and walked up to Xia Jin. Their smiles were a little stiff as they said, "Xiao Xia, how did you know that the old lady was rich? That's really something!"

"Did you smell the perfume on her? I heard the store manager say that she was wearing perfume from the Junior Collection!"

The noise of the chattering crowd made Xia Jin's head feel even dizzier. She shook her head with some difficulty. "I didn't smell the perfume on her…"

She had caught a cold today, and her nose was struggling to even breathe. How could she smell any perfume?

However, the other salespeople did not believe her words. They believed that Xia Jin was just brushing them off. Then, their expressions grew even more unsightly instantly.

All of a sudden, one of the salespeople pulled Xia Jin's arm and said with a delicate smile, "Xiao Xia, since you've completed such a huge order, you have to treat us to a meal!"

Hearing these words, Xia Jin's eyes narrowed. She sneered in her heart–I took the order myself, what does it have to do with you guys? Why should I treat you guys to a meal?

She broke free from her arm silently and said with a faint smile, "Then, I'll treat you guys to milk tea."

Forget about having a full-course meal! She was too short of money to be ripped off by this group of people.

She was already giving them face by treating them to a cup of milk tea. 

Their faces turned ugly once they heard that Xia Jin was only willing to treat them to a cup of milk tea.

They did not expect Xia Jin to be this insensitive and stingy!

At noon, Xia Jin headed to a nearby staff restaurant for a meal. She also went to the milk tea shop to buy a dozen cups of milk tea.

Just as she was about to carry the dozen cups of milk tea back to the store, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The man in a suit in the elevator looked sullen, and next to him stood a middle-aged man who was saying something to him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Huo, don't worry! Our mall will definitely do a good job for this national day event…"

Xia Jin's body stiffened slightly, and her already pale face turned even paler.

How could she run into Huo Jue here? What bad luck!

Xia Jin calmly moved toward the other exit of the mall, expressionlessly.

As there was no one calling out to her, Huo Jue seemed to not notice her… 

Just as Xia Jin was about to reach the exit, her body got shoved by someone. The force of that person was very strong. Thus, she fell to the ground with a loud 'thud' along with the milk tea, as she was unsteady from wearing high heels today.

The milk tea spilled out of the bag and flowed all over the floor. She sat on the spilled milk tea, as if she had taken a bath using milk tea. There were even several drops of milk tea splashed on her hair.

"Oops, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry… Sister Xia Jin? Why is it you?" A pair of delicate hands paused all of a sudden as they reached over to help Xia Jin. Then, Xia Jin saw Jian Yan's panicked face.

Jian Yan's voice was so loud that it was difficult for Huo Jue, who was not far away, to not notice Xia Jin.

Huo Jue turned his head and saw Xia Jin lying in a puddle of milk tea. Xia Jin's face red with embarrassment from Huo Jue's gaze.

Gao Lan, who was next to Huo Jue, saw Xia Jin and was startled. She rushed over and helped Xia Jin up, ignoring the milk tea still dripping from her body.
