A Special Guest

Wei Lin held on to the customers who wanted to leave and tried her best to promote Summer's products. Even then, the turnover rate for jewelry stores was not high to begin with. Not to mention, the customers' moods had been affected, so they could not help but feel irritated with the way she promoted the products. They all left right away.

After her failed attempt, Wei Lin put all the blame on that woman.

"Are you done looking? Summer is a luxury brand. It's a jewelry store and not a farmer's market! You can't come here to beg for food!"

That woman muttered haltingly, "My daughter is getting married. I want to buy a necklace."

Wei Lin burst out laughing at the sound of her thick country accent. She said with disdain, "Take a right after you walk out of this door, and you'll see a night market. The necklaces they sell at the stall will suit your daughter more."

Her words made Xia Zhiwan furrow her eyebrows.

The next second, the slovenly woman's expression changed. She took out a small camera with an indifferent expression.

Everyone blanched, especially Wei Lin. She tried at once to apologize humbly, but it was too late.

The woman peered at her and said, "The reason that Summer became the country's top jewelry brand has a lot to do with our customer service philosophy where we require our staff to offer a warm and caring welcome to everyone that walks into the store. This Nan City outlet is the champion in sales, and the executives said we should put more attention on you. I can't believe this store has such a disappointing performance."

With that, she decided to deduct Wei Lin's year-end bonus as punishment and left without another word.

After she had left, Wei Lin blamed Xia Zhiwan instead.

Her colleagues were trying to console Wei Lin, but she shouted indignantly, "If you didn't show off, they wouldn't have kept an eye on us!"

Normally, the chances of encountering an investigator were very low, considering how many outlets and employees Summer had. It was true that their store had been given special attention because of Xia Zhiwan's presence. 

Xia Zhiwan was laughing silently. She had literally reminded her that the woman might be an investigator. Wei Lin was just trying to find an excuse to write off as the reason for her failure. 

Xia Zhiwan did not glance in her direction even once and walked back to her post.

She lifted her head and saw a handsome man in a white suit stepping into the store.

He was tall and personable like the son of a nobleman. Every person's gaze was glued to him immediately.

Yet, he headed straight for Xia Zhiwan and gave her an enchanting smile. 

"Hi, can you recommend a bracelet to me? I'm thinking of giving one to my lover."

Xia Zhiwan gladly introduced him to a ruby bracelet, a pendant with a pink diamond, and a pair of diamond earrings.

The man in the white suit discovered, to his surprise, that he actually liked all the products that Xia Zhiwan introduced to him, especially that ruby bracelet… He designed that himself.

Xia Zhiwan noticed his interest, so she began to tell him more about the bracelet.

"This bracelet is a limited edition. It's designed by the world-famous director of Li Feng Jewelry, Gu Saoqin. It was not available for sale in the country until Li Feng Jewelry bought Xia Corporation. That's why a limited number of jewelry pieces from the international brand will be put on sale at our store too.

"This ruby has a beautiful gleam to it, and it looks crystal clear. It can be used to perfectly represent fiery love. Your outfit is modest but classy, and you have a personable disposition. You're most likely not a big fan of opulent and exaggerated styles. This bracelet has a simple yet stylish design, so…"

Xia Zhiwan rambled on and on. Little by little, Qu Saoqin became moved by her speech… He could not believe that she knew so much about the product. On top of that, her explanation echoed his design concept. It seemed like she was indeed deserving of the sales champion title.

As he stared at her beautiful face, Gu Saoqin felt his heartstrings being tugged. Without another word, he immediately bought the ruby bracelet that was worth three million. 

After he had left, everyone let out shocking gasps. They were envious that Xia Zhiwan was lucky enough to meet a special quest that was generous with his fortune. 

Wei Lin was sobbing in a corner of the store. She was disgruntled by the fact that she had met a disheveled investigator in disguise, but Xia Zhiwan got to meet a handsome and loaded customer! 

The next day, the charming and elegant customer visited the store again.

However, he took out a broken ruby bracelet. 

The stunning man questioned calmly, "I noticed the crack on the bracelet after I brought it home. Did you sell me a defective product and try to pass it as a good one? Or is it because Summer's jewelry is just lacking in quality to begin with?"

Everyone thought Xia Zhiwan was feeling guilty as she stared at the bracelet in silence. No one stood up to defend her. Instead, they waited eagerly to witness the trouble she had gotten herself into.
