Chapter 736 - 729: Crystal Shoes
Chapter 736: Chapter 729: Crystal Shoes
The three nightgowns cost nearly three thousand, and Sisi asked the oval face to wrap them up, then took out the legendary Platinum Card and handed it to the oval face. Seeing the oval face’s eyes bulging like walnuts, Sisi finally smiled with satisfaction.
No wonder the rich love to flaunt their wealth so much?
This kind of exhilarating face-smacking really makes one feel infinitely wonderful!
The other round-faced saleswoman also saw the Platinum Card and instantly regretted it so much that her intestines were turning blue. With a business amount of three thousand, the commission alone was a hundred or two, she was losing out big time!
The oval face respectfully returned the swiped Platinum Card to Sisi, feeling incredibly happy inside, knowing that her commission from this deal was significant!
"Miss, your judgment isn’t quite there yet; you’ll need more practice!" Sisi said with a smile to the oval face before leaving. The oval face immediately turned red with embarrassment, realizing that the beautiful woman must have noticed her disdainful look just now.
The oval face felt extremely annoyed, deeply feeling that Sisi was right, her eye for things was indeed quite poor. From then on, this oval face worked hard and practiced her judgment tirelessly, and years later, she became known in the sales world as the ’toxic glare.’ As long as you had money, even if you were wearing rags, she could recognize it.
"You all have to wear these nightgowns, otherwise, it would be a waste of my sincere effort, especially you, Feifei. If you don’t wear it, I’ll be heartbroken!" Sisi said exaggeratedly.
Shangguan and Zhang Jie were annoyed to death by her pestering and had to agree to wear them tonight. Whoever doesn’t wear it is a Xiao Gou!
They didn’t expect, though spared from being Xiao Gou because they wore it, their husbands turned into wolves instead!
The three of them strolled leisurely, but didn’t buy much. In fact, Sisi had taken a liking to a few pieces of clothing, but since Zhang Jie didn’t buy anything, she couldn’t buy them either. She only hoped that Song Mengshi’s tutoring would make money quickly, so she could go shopping more often with Zhang Jie!
As for Shangguan, she didn’t have any expectations for her at all!
Without the ability to buy the clothes she saw, Sisi lost interest in shopping, but then her eyes lit up as she saw a pair of crystal shoes displayed in the window of a nearby shoe store.
The design of the crystal shoes wasn’t complicated, but the shining crystals on the shoes were truly captivating. Sisi was immediately drawn to them and dragged Zhang Jie and the others towards the shoe store.
"Miss, please bring me that pair of crystal shoes to try on!"
Two voices rang out. Sisi and her companions entered the shoe store from the left, and another group came in from the right, both seemingly interested in the pair of crystal shoes.
This group turned out to be familiar faces, the Seventh Mrs. Jin, Madam Jin, Tang Anxin, and other daughters-in-law of the Jins, about five or six in total, all dressed very grandly. Especially the Seventh Mrs. Jin with those sky-high stilettos, just looking at them made Sisi’s ankles ache.
Wasn’t the Seventh Mrs. Jin said to be a doctor?
How could she not know the basic fact that wearing shoes too high is bad for her health?
Sisi didn’t know that the Seventh Mrs. Jin wasn’t really a proper doctor. When she couldn’t get through school, her family pulled strings to get her into a medical university for a few years to somehow obtain a degree, and then arranged for her to work at a famous hospital like Kyoto Third Hospital as an honorary obstetrician.
However, she was quite incompetent, and her parents overestimated her, giving the Seventh Madam a job in one of the most demanding hospitals. Unambitious as she was, her family never hoped she’d earn a professional title on her own, but she couldn’t even handle minor ailments, causing several medical incidents.
The most severe incident involved her diagnosing a young maiden as being ten weeks pregnant. As a result, the girl’s fiancé broke off the engagement without a word, spreading rumors that the girl was promiscuous, giving him a green hat before marriage. Unable to bear the gossip, the girl committed suicide by drinking pesticide.
After her death, a forensic autopsy confirmed that the girl was a virgin who only had a minor gynecological inflammation, but because of Seventh Madam’s incompetence, the girl died unjustly.
The girl’s parents made a fuss at the hospital. If it weren’t for connections in the Seventh Mrs. Jin’s family, she would have been fired. However, this incident was quite big back then, so Seventh Mrs. Jin couldn’t continue as a doctor. The hospital then arranged for her to handle registrations at the entrance, a job requiring no professional knowledge, and anyone could do it.
The saleswoman at the shoe store maintained a perfect smile even in challenging situations, explaining that these crystal shoes were the proud creation of Master Mo’er, an internationally renowned designer, and were designed according to the perfect Cinderella foot shape in his mind, with only one pair in the world.
They had been on tour sale in Europe, America, and other countries over the past year, trying to find the perfect fit among princesses, socialites, duchesses, and noblewomen, but none could wear them perfectly, with many unable even to get them on.
Z country is the final stop for these crystal shoes, and if the perfect Cinderella isn’t found within a month, they will be sent back, with only three days left on the deadline.
Though everyone knew this talk of the perfect Cinderella was just a promotional gimmick, people were still attracted to this dreamy and beautiful legend, eager to try on the crystal shoes.
Maybe one of them was the perfect Cinderella!
"Hurry up and let me try them on!" The Seventh Mrs. Jin had been anxiously calling out, always proud of her feet, neither too big nor too small, delicate and moderate. Her husband’s favorite pastime was teasing her jade feet in bed.
Sisi didn’t compete with her, after all, it had been over a year without finding the right foot, it wasn’t something easy to find.
The saleswoman discreetly glanced at the Seventh Madam’s sky-highs, her perfect smile paused a bit, really wanting to remind this lady not to make a pointless effort, as the size was clearly not right!
But she was a good saleswoman with professional ethics and would never disappoint God!
The saleswoman took down the dreamy crystal shoes and handed them to the Seventh Mrs. Jin, who immediately slipped off her sky-highs and put her foot inside.
But she struggled to squeeze it in, gritted her teeth and pushed, but it was just a little too small, with a bit of heel still exposed.
Seventh Mrs. Jin was unwilling to give up, took a deep breath, and tried to forcibly push her foot in.
The saleswoman was so scared that her perfect smile couldn’t hold up anymore. If the shoes got damaged, even selling herself wouldn’t pay for it!
"Madam, please don’t hurt yourself!" The saleswoman gently reminded her.
Madam Jin and Tang Anxin wished they hadn’t come out with their seventh sister-in-law today, as they felt ashamed!
Madam Jin tugged at the Seventh Madam, exuding power without anger. Though the Seventh Madam was still unwilling, she didn’t dare to resist, reluctantly handing the shoes to Madam Jin, saying indignantly, "Sister-in-law, why not try them yourself? I think Master Mo’er must be crazy. My feet are a size 36, small enough, right? Yet they still don’t fit; they must be deliberately making things difficult!"
"I think only a little girl could fit into these crystal shoes, maybe Master Mo’er has a thing for little girls?" Seventh Madam seemed to discover a new continent.
The saleswoman’s smile cracked again, and Madam Jin glared at Seventh Madam fiercely, feeling that she was babbling everything she shouldn’t outside!
