There was only Su Xiaotian, a person of East Asian descent, in the vicinity, and she was quite eye-catching.
Many people looked at Su Xiaotian, some even scrutinizing her from head to toe, whispering amongst themselves.
Su Xiaotian could actually understand what these people were saying. Some were remarking on the nationality of this beautiful Oriental girl.
Some were saying her clothes were very nice.
And some were saying that not only was she beautiful, but she also evoked a feeling of joy upon sight.
However, Su Xiaotian pretended not to hear these words.
She continued to walk casually into the mall, occasionally stopping to look at merchandise that caught her interest.
However, Su Xiaotian felt that when abroad, one should pay more attention to their words and actions, lest their improper conduct lead foreigners to have a bad impression of China.
In later generations, although people from many countries were interested in Chinese tourists as a source of income, the misconduct of some Chinese people caused many countries to develop an aversion to them.
While some of this was slander, there were indeed some Chinese people who had bad habits.
With this thought in mind, Su Xiaotian's every word and deed became even more poised and graceful than before.
This caused even more people to be unable to take their eyes off Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian, however, had already been captivated by the dazzling array of goods in the mall, completely forgetting that people were staring at her.
Indeed, foreign malls were different from domestic ones.
Although China had seen an increase in malls in the past two years, their scale was still somewhat limited overall.
And this mall before her had many aspects that required learning.
She planned to remember them well and tell her fourth brother when she returned, so that he could improve their own mall.
The six-story mall covered almost all kinds of items, including quite a few luxury goods.
But because her family already owned a mall, Su Xiaotian was not interested in most of the daily necessities.
It wasn't until Su Xiaotian saw a watch from a certain famous brand that she became a little more interested.
This brand of wristwatch had always been called the king of watches.
Even in her previous life, when she had traveled extensively, she had heard people mention this brand.
Of course, another important reason Su Xiaotian was interested in this brand was that she knew that watches from this brand held their value, and might even appreciate in price.
However, she didn't know which models would retain their value in the future.
But even if they didn't hold their value, the quality of this brand was very good.
Of course, such wristwatches were also very expensive.
But even with the considerable price, Su Xiaotian felt she should buy a few to take back.
Although there were also watches of this brand in China now, they were very rare and not easy to purchase.
Since she had encountered them today, she naturally had to buy them!
She walked to the counter and, in fluent L-country language, asked the sales assistant to bring out the two watches she had her eye on.
Although Su Xiaotian's language skills were excellent, almost comparable to those of the locals,
just by looking at her skin tone and facial features, the sales assistant's expression became somewhat unnatural.
The sales assistant's originally delicate and pretty eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
She stared at Su Xiaotian from head to toe several times. Although she didn't say a word, her meaning was very clear.
She was trying to determine where this person was from. Sudana Novel Network
Such a standard Oriental face made the sales assistant suspect that this beautiful, tall girl was Chinese.
She had heard that Chinese people were very poor, extremely poor!
She heard that Chinese people didn't even have enough to eat, and even ate wild vegetables and bark.
If the lady before her was Chinese, could she afford a watch at this price point?
"Miss, can you afford these two watches?" she finally asked.
Su Xiaotian smiled faintly, but if one looked closely, the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Miss, serving customers is your most basic job. Do you ask every customer this way?"
Su Xiaotian could naturally guess that this was not the case.
If the sales assistant truly served customers this way, she would have been fired long ago.
"But you are Oriental!" The sales assistant clearly did not realize what she had done wrong.
She felt she was doing the right thing. Why should she serve a customer who couldn't possibly afford such a luxury watch with all her heart?
Such people should be kicked out.
A noble place like this was not for the poor.
Su Xiaotian was unaware of her thoughts.
However, upon hearing that the sales assistant still didn't know she was wrong and was even being belligerent, Su Xiaotian became angry!
"I want to see your manager!"
The last trace of a smile disappeared from Su Xiaotian's face, her entire small face turning cold, exuding an aura of strength that one could feel from the inside out.
"Our manager is not someone you can just see; you need an appointment!" the sales assistant said, raising her chin.
Su Xiaotian did not expect the sales assistant to be so stubbornly resolute.
It had to be said that the girl before her had very simple thoughts. She believed that by blocking Su Xiaotian's path to the manager, all problems would be solved.
The manager would likely never even know that something like this had happened today.
Su Xiaotian, who had been in a good mood, encountered such a vexing situation.
Her pleasant shopping mood was ruined.
She thought for a moment and turned to leave.
After all, a wristwatch was not a necessity.
Besides, there would be opportunities to buy them in other countries or cities in the future.
She felt it was not worth arguing with such a sales assistant who seemed to lack common sense.
Seeing Su Xiaotian turn to leave, the sales assistant became even more smug.
She even muttered under her breath, "I knew it, she's a pauper!"
Although she spoke in a low voice, it wasn't very quiet. At least, Su Xiaotian heard it clearly and distinctly.
Su Xiaotian, who had intended to avoid trouble and was about to leave, did not expect the other party to be so persistent.
Upon hearing this, she abruptly turned her head, her sharp eyes fixing directly on the sales assistant who was still looking at Su Xiaotian with disdain.
The sales assistant did not expect Su Xiaotian to dare to look back at her at this moment. Being stared at by Su Xiaotian's cold gaze, the sales assistant instantly became scared.
She involuntarily averted her gaze to the side.
Su Xiaotian, however, continued to look without showing any weakness.
She could give up buying the wristwatch, but her dignity could not be violated.
"Miss, do you know how to spell the word 'respect'?"
"Some distinguished guests are worthy of our respect, but some guests cannot be called guests at all..."
Before the sales assistant could finish her smug speech, a scream suddenly came from not too far away.
