National Tide 1980.

Chapter 387 Jewelry Counter
From the way of composition, it seems that the beauty in this world can be divided into two kinds.

One is natural and natural.

The other is handcrafted and carefully crafted.

But there are still some special cases that can combine the two into one.

It is even more beautiful to the extreme.

For example, jadeite in the rough carved by famous masters.

For example, the magnificent mountains and rivers meticulously depicted by master painters.

For example, a world-class violin master plays world-renowned tunes with famous pianos.

And the girl Qu Xiao is even more so.

Youthful age, angelic face, seductive and graceful curves.

With Pierre Carton's fashionable women's clothing, light makeup created by Pond's Cosmetics, and a pair of white lambskin high-heeled shoes under the feet.

It almost made her look like someone who stepped down from a foreign pictorial, bright and colorful.

If it's someone who doesn't know her, just rely on appearance.

It would definitely be misunderstood that she is an overseas Chinese returning from overseas, or a wealthy daughter from Hong Kong City.

In fact, the salesperson of the Friendship Store really had such a misunderstanding.

At about ten o'clock in the morning on September 9th, in front of the jewelry counter of the Friendship Store, which is the only jewelry store in Beijing.

Just because Qu Xiao, who followed Ning Weimin to the store, paid a little attention to the jade bracelet on the counter.

A saleswoman in her early thirties immediately put on a smile and tried her best to sell Qu Xiao.

"Miss, are you an overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia or a native of Hong Kong? Do you like this jade bracelet? Can you understand Mandarin? Ah, I have to say, your eyesight is too good."

"Look at this bracelet, emerald green! The color is so bright. This is the most authentic representative color of jadeite, and only emerald gemstones can match it in the world. In our store, there are only a total of jadeite bracelets of this level. A dozen or so have been brought in, and now this is the last one left."

"This kind of green is not only a symbol of life and youth, but also a symbol of wealth and nobility. It is the one that best embodies the delicate and beautiful Huagui, showing calmness and kindness. If you look at it more often, it can even bring people happiness and luck. Feeling. And do you know? The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty in my country especially liked this green jade..."

The saleswoman was eloquent and eloquent, talking about everything from the color and historical allusion of emerald to transparency, impurities, and scarcity.

While boasting about the products, she did not forget to compliment Qu Xiao at the same time.

It goes without saying that her enthusiasm comes entirely from Qu Xiao and Ning Weimin's high-end clothes.

And the coldness of the jewelry counter with few people, and the monthly bonus system linked to the turnover.

It's a pity that this well-informed saleswoman lost her sight today.

She never thought that Qu Xiao was actually a girl from Beijing who grew up under the red banner and believed in "study hard and make progress every day" in her heart.

The more diligent her sales pitches, the more counterproductive they are.

Because in Qu Xiao's heart, this has greatly exceeded her own spending power, which really made her feel guilty as hell.

She didn't want to stay here for a moment, she just wanted to escape.

Although it is every girl's nature to love beauty, she also thinks this jade bracelet is beautiful, but the problem is that it is really too expensive!

The price tag says [-] yuan in foreign exchange certificates!

As long as she does simple calculations, she knows that based on her labor fee of 50 yuan for one performance, that is equal to the remuneration for [-] performances in a row.

Really buying this bracelet is tantamount to her half a year of doing nothing.

She is not the sad heroine Mathilde in Maupassant's novel "The Necklace" in the Chinese textbook.

Just for vanity, no matter the cost.

So when the saleswoman's sales had just come to an end, Qu Xiao responded by shaking his head without hesitation, and then turned to leave.

However, even such a clear refusal did not make the saleswoman give up easily.

Perhaps because she was looking forward to the deal too much, the saleswoman was so firm in her belief that she cleverly played around with it.

At the critical moment, the target of attack was suddenly transferred to Ning Weimin.

"Sir, what do you mean? Do you also think this bracelet is very suitable for this lady? Look, how good this lady's skin is. Don't you want one more piece on this lady's wrist to complement her beauty?" The bracelet? Try it on. How about the effect? ​​You might as well give this lady some advice..."

As we all know, men undoubtedly want face.

Sure enough, Ning Weimin was immediately "fooled".

Exactly as the salesperson wished, he couldn't stand the excitement, and grabbed Qu Xiao's arm without hesitation.

"Try it on."

Qu Xiao immediately felt blushing and heart beating, his ears were burning, and he shook his head like a rattle.

But Ning Weimin was extremely stubborn, begging Bai Lai to let her try it on.

Qu Xiao had no choice but to look at Ning Weimin with a bit of resentment, and obediently obeyed.

But rationality told her that trying was just to improve Ning Weimin's face.

Then you have to take it off and end this embarrassing situation immediately.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that Ning Weimin's generosity would make her bear another debt of favor that was difficult to repay.

To be honest, if Ning Weimin hadn't insisted on adopting the strategy of "fighting poison with poison" today.

Said that she must dress up well, first let her parents see how dignified and beautiful she is, and then it is possible to get the understanding of her family and let them understand the meaning of her career.

She wouldn't follow Ning Weimin to the Zhai Palace early in the morning to change into a fashion, make up carefully, and then come here to buy some jewelry.

Really, Ning Weimin forced her to come here, and now she's starting to regret it.

Because she originally thought that her income could pay for one or two small jewelry.

But the reality told her that she overestimated herself and was too optimistic.

And from the bottom of her heart, in fact, she didn't have much confidence in this plan.

Now, she even began to worry that taking such a move would make her parents more disappointed and angry, and wanted to stop it.

Under such circumstances, it would be foolish to stay here any longer.

No, I have to go, I have to go...

Just like that, Qu Xiao reluctantly put the bracelet on his wrist.

Then he hastily rotated his wrist a few times, gestured a few times, and carefully took off the bracelet like uncovering a sore.

But even so, the saleswoman did not forget to add fuel to the flames.

"Sir, I'm not mistaken. Wearing this bracelet looks great. This lady is extraordinarily noble and even more beautiful..."

This just pissed Qu Xiao off.

But what she didn't expect was that Ning Weimin actually nodded in agreement.

"That's right, you're right. Her skin is so good, it makes the bracelet greener, clear, and beautiful..."

Qu Xiao felt very anxious, wishing he could immediately lower his head and drag Ning Weimin to escape.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ning Weimin changed the subject and tune.

"However, I think she's too young, and it's too early to wear this bracelet. Her aura can't be suppressed. And the ring of this bracelet is too big. Look at how smooth it is when she takes it off. Is the ring of your bracelet right? It’s a bit bigger than normal. No wonder you can’t sell this one..."

These words immediately made the saleswoman look embarrassed, a bit like a bitter gourd.

Qu Xiao was immediately amused, and immediately understood Ning Weimin's intentions, and immediately began to cooperate.

"That's right, I'm still young, it's shameful to wear this bracelet. Besides, the ring is too big, I can't wear it at all, it doesn't fit, it really doesn't fit, it's too convenient to take off..."

She also praised it in her heart.

Fortunately, Brother Ning, who actually came up with such a natural escape method.

So sophisticated!smart!No wonder you don't even bother to deal with foreigners...

It's a pity that this girl was a little too happy, and what Ning Weimin said later subverted her cognition again.

"Let's be frank, I'm not a pure layman. I know all about the market and rules of jade bracelets."

"I know that jade bracelets with larger audiences are generally easier to sell, so the price will be relatively higher. For example, jade bracelets with a ring size of 55 to 58 can be worn by most people."

"On the other hand, jade bracelets with rings below 55 or above 58 are difficult to sell because they are too small or too large to be restricted by consumer demand, and the price is usually relatively low."

"Besides, I'm also from Beijing, and I don't buy things at your Friendship Store once or twice. I know that you even have discounts at the home appliance counter, and you can get a [-]% discount. Then you have the nerve to sell me this thousand and five bracelets at the original price Is it?"

"Let's cut the price, it should be taken for granted. As long as the price is right, I will buy it. Just say, can you give me a reserve price?"

Co-authoring the nitpicking in front of the egg is just to make a price.

Now the saleswoman's expression eased, but Qu Xiao was like sleepwalking, totally unbelievable.
