Chapter 1697: Chapter 1698: Ran into an old acquaintance
The sales assistant didn’t recognize her and scanned the clothes she was wearing with a condescending look. Her expression instantly turned indifferent, emotionless, with eyes fixated and no smile on her face, extremely impatient, she answered, "Not here."
"?"
Rong Yan furrowed her brows slightly, showing a surprised expression, "Not here? That’s impossible."
Before coming, she had called Gaia’s director to set up a meeting time.
She raised her wrist to check the watch, strange, it’s not past the agreed time.
The sales assistant was very impatient, "If they’re not here, they’re not here! What’s impossible about that? Why are you looking for our director, are you here to buy clothes?"
Rong Yan hadn’t spoken yet when a tall, thin man inside enthusiastically came out to greet her, "Miss Rong! You’re here, we agreed on five-thirty, I thought you might come in a bit later, so I went inside to handle some store matters, didn’t expect you to arrive early."
He quickly walked over, cheerfully saying as he walked, "Why didn’t you call me, I could have come out to greet you."
"I wasn’t early by that much, just about ten minutes, so I didn’t want to bother you."
"No bother, no bother, it’s my honor to serve Miss Rong, how could it be troublesome. Please come in, your clothes are already prepared, you can try them on to see if the size is suitable, if not, our designer is here and can make alterations for you on-site."
"Okay."
"Please."
The director accompanied carefully, following her inside step by step.
Once the two went in, the previously impatient sales assistant turned pale, her legs almost gave out, just realizing with shock who Rong Yan was—wasn’t she the celebrity who just announced her marriage to Mr. Li of the Li Group!
Recalling her previous attitude, her heart felt ice-cold, her face turned even paler, trembling like paper, nervously looking inside the store, afraid Rong Yan would complain to the director about her.
...
"Miss Rong, over here."
Gaia’s legendary director led her inside the store.
The store was decorated with an elegant antique style; behind the screen, besides her, there were others present. That person seemed to be waiting impatiently, continuously pulling at the store assistant asking, "Has the director not come over yet?"
"Yes. The director went to attend to the brand’s VIP, should be back soon, please wait a moment."
Jian Yao and her agent were extremely impatient from waiting, her agent waited less than a minute before urging the clerk again, "We have other appointments to attend to, can you please check when the director will be back?"
"Well." The clerk refused with a troubled expression, "Today, a very distinguished guest is coming, and the director is here for this guest. That guest has already arrived, the director definitely needs to attend to them; I can’t go over."
Her agent suppressed her anger, "What kind of guest is so distinguished they can’t be interrupted, our Jian Yao is also your customer, we’re celebrities."
The clerk glanced at her in surprise, seemingly not understanding how she could say such a ridiculous thing, promptly answered unmoved, "Sorry, Miss Jian, our store is often visited by performers, we treat every customer equally, we don’t give special treatment just because someone is a celebrity."
The clothes in our store are all high-end custom designs, each series only has one set, ordinary people can’t afford them.
Those who can come to our store aren’t just celebrities but also wealthy ladies; so what if they’re celebrities, we’ve seen plenty, it’s no longer unusual!
