Chapter 776: An Encounter While Shopping

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s arrival didn’t greatly affect Ye Leng’an. Perhaps because in her heart, she had already severed all emotional ties with these two individuals!

However, there was no progress in her cultivation, and she was feeling somewhat restless. So, after finishing her meal, she decided not to continue with her practice and instead opted to go shopping.

Ye Leng’an’s objective was clear. She hailed a taxi and headed straight to the largest high-end shopping mall in the capital, diving into full-on shopping mode. Store after store, she made purchases without hesitation, not even bothering to try on the items.

This frenzy of shopping lifted Ye Leng’an’s spirits considerably.

Meanwhile, the staff at these luxury stores greeted Ye Leng’an as if she were a deity, their warmth and hospitality difficult to resist.

Most of the items Ye Leng’an purchased were arranged to be delivered directly to her home. Only a few smaller items she carried with her.

However, despite their diminutive size, these items were exorbitantly priced. So, when she walked into other stores with these bags in hand, the staff immediately recognized her purchasing power and eagerly attended to her.

Thus, Ye Leng’an continued to move from one store to another. When she entered a high-end handbag boutique, she unexpectedly encountered a familiar face.

“Cui’an, are you working part-time?”

Seeing Zhou Cui’an dressed as a salesperson, Ye Leng’an was genuinely surprised. She hadn’t anticipated running into Zhou Cui’an here. While she knew Zhou Cui’an hadn’t gone home, she hadn’t imagined she would be working part-time here.

However, with the ongoing Golden Week holiday, the foot traffic and customers in the mall were naturally higher than usual. Hence, even prestigious brands were hiring part-time staff these days. After all, they didn’t require as many salespersons on regular days.

Of course, even for part-time roles in luxury brands, certain standards were upheld. After all, these sales staff represented the brand’s image.

Zhou Cui’an’s appearance was a stark departure from her usual plain look. With delicate makeup and a smart suit, she exuded a fashionable air. Though her skin was slightly tanned, she appeared much more attractive than usual.

“Leng’an, it’s you!” Zhou Cui’an was also taken aback. However, upon seeing the Patek Philippe bag in Ye Leng’an’s hand, a flicker of darkness crossed her eyes. Nonetheless, she maintained a smile. “I happened to see the job advertisement earlier. Since I won’t be home for the next few days, I decided to work part-time here.”

Initially surprised when she got selected, Zhou Cui’an had thought she stood no chance, given the stiff competition and the fact that others were far more attractive than her. However, she was chosen in the end, likely because of her status as a student at Capital University.

Dressing up and working in a shopping uniform for the first time, she could hardly believe her transformation. These days, she had encountered many wealthy individuals splurging and had seen numerous luxury brands. In a way, she felt she had become more refined.

However, upon seeing Ye Leng’an today, she felt as though she had plummeted from the heavens to the earth. It was as if awakening from a dream, realizing she was still the same old servant girl. She could never ascend to the lofty status of a princess.

“That’s great.” Unaware of Zhou Cui’an’s inner turmoil, Ye Leng’an merely saw a classmate. “Perfect, show me around!”

She intended to assist Zhou Cui’an. After all, it made no difference whom she approached while shopping. However, the level of service varied. Accompanying her this time should yield a decent commission.

The other sales staff in the store eyed Zhou Cui’an with envy.

From the moment Ye Leng’an entered, they had their sights set on her. Although her attire was unremarkable, the bags she carried from top luxury brands caught their attention.

With their experience and sharp eyes, they could tell the bags were authentic. Clearly, the customer had just visited these luxury stores and made purchases. Therefore, she was a lucrative customer.

What disappointed them was that before they could approach her, she called out the name of the part-time worker. They knew each other.

Though envious of the part-timer, none of the sales staff dared to disturb her. Provoking a customer and receiving complaints would be more trouble than it was worth.

On the other hand, Zhou Cui’an was unaware of the sales staff’s thoughts. She didn’t feel as elated as they imagined.

Being by Ye Leng’an’s side made her feel like her servant.

Despite Ye Leng’an’s lack of arrogance and harsh words, and even though she treated her as an equal, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t shake the feeling of inferiority.

“Cui’an, what’s on your mind?” Seeing Zhou Cui’an lost in thought, Ye Leng’an spoke up. “Is everything alright?”

“I’m fine,” Zhou Cui’an smiled and replied, masking her thoughts. “Just got lost in thought for a moment. By the way, Leng’an, which one would you like to see? I’ll let you try it on!”

“No need.”

Ye Leng’an shook her head and pointed to a few bags she fancied. “Just these. Please wrap them up for me!”

Witnessing Ye Leng’an’s straightforwardness, Zhou Cui’an was speechless. She asked incredulously, “Leng’an, are you sure? Aren’t you going to try them on?”

Although Zhou Cui’an had worked in a luxury store for several days, she had never encountered such a decisive customer. Without even trying them on, she decided to make a purchase. These bags couldn’t be returned. Once bought, there was no turning back. Hence, many customers would deliberate before making a purchase.

She should have been pleased with the customer’s decisiveness. However, the fact that this decisive customer was her roommate left her feeling conflicted.
