"I already drove that group of people away, so they probably won't bother you again. Let's part ways here!" said Wu Xiaoyu.
Bai Yun was extremely dissatisfied upon hearing this. Am I not attractive? Or is this guy gay? He doesn't even ask for my name and wants to leave?
"Hey! You haven't even asked my name yet!"
Wu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, what's your name?"
"My name is Bai Yun!"
"Bai... Bai Yun? Okay, got it. Can I go now?"
What the hell? That's it? Seeing Wu Xiaoyu was turning away, Bai Yun quickly took a few steps to catch up with him and said, "I know you want to ask for my WeChat but are too shy. I'll just tell you directly!"
After saying that, she took out her phone, opened the QR code, and Wu Xiaoyu reluctantly smiled, added her WeChat, and then said, "Can I go now?"
Finally rid of this airheaded young lady, Wu Xiaoyu headed directly to the largest mall in the county, the Canal Building.
He had attended high school in the county for two years but never dared to enter the Canal Building because he knew he couldn't afford anything inside.
But now it was different. With over a hundred thousand yuan in his pocket, in a small county, where couldn't he go? He luxuriously took a taxi and arrived at the Canal Building in just over ten minutes.
As soon as he entered the building, his eyes were drawn to the passing baozi and mantou. The world is really going downhill; people's hearts are not what they used to be. Those fashion designers, what's the point of saving this bit of fabric?
Taking the elevator to the third floor, where there were all kinds of men's and women's clothing brands, he didn't have much knowledge about these brands, but he did know the general price range.
He chose a mid-range store, walked in, and was ready to spend a few thousand yuan to buy some clothes for his parents and himself before visiting his sister at high school.
He had just selected a shirt and was about to try it on when a girl walked over, looked him up and down, and tentatively asked, "Are you... Wu Xiaoyu?"
Huh? Wu Xiaoyu looked carefully at the girl but couldn't recognize her, so he asked a bit embarrassedly, "Who are you? I seem to have forgotten."
Seeing him admit it, the girl immediately put on a disdainful look and said, "I'm Qin Can! Don't you remember?"
Hearing her introduce herself, Wu Xiaoyu finally remembered her. She even wrote him a love letter in their first year of high school!
But she wasn't particularly good-looking, her personality was not great, and he had someone he liked, so he had rejected her.
After that, she started spreading rumors about how poor his family was, but since she was just a young girl, he didn't make things difficult for her.
He didn't expect to run into her here today. judging by her attire, she was likely an employee here. So he asked, "Do you work here?"
Qin Can, appearing smug, said, "Yes! Since I couldn't get into college, but this job isn't bad. No wind or sun, and I earn over three thousand yuan a month. It's better than farming!"
Damn it! Is she mocking me? What's wrong with farming? I didn't farm your or your mother's land, why are you so arrogant?
Considering they were classmates, Wu Xiaoyu didn't want to argue with her. He just gave a silly smile and moved to enter the fitting room, but she blocked the door.
"Wu Xiaoyu, our clothes are expensive. The cheapest is over three hundred yuan. If you're not buying, don't dirty them by trying them on!" Qin Can mocked.
Wu Xiaoyu retorted coldly, "Are you trying to pick a fight?"
His voice was naturally loud, and coupled with his anger, it immediately drew the attention of the staff and customers in the store.
A middle-aged saleswoman waved at the customers, saying, "It's alright! It's alright!" She quickly walked over and asked, "What's going on? Is there a problem?"
Before Wu Xiaoyu could speak, Qin Can instigated, "He can't afford it but insists on trying it on. I tried to persuade him, and he got upset!"
The middle-aged saleswoman looked Wu Xiaoyu up and down, seeing his shabby clothes, and assumed he had no money. So she said, "Sir, please leave!"
Wu Xiaoyu got even angrier. He could understand Qin Can's attitude towards him, given their history, but the middle-aged woman behaving like this clearly indicated a management issue.
"Why? Did I do something wrong? Why are you asking me to leave?" Wu Xiaoyu questioned.
With other customers in the store, the middle-aged saleswoman didn't dare to bluntly say, "If you can't afford it, get out," so she hesitated, "If you're not buying, don't dirty our clothes..."
Confucius said, "Only small men and women are hard to deal with!" This saying is so true. You can't hit or scold them, and people always see women as the weaker party, regardless of the situation.
Wu Xiaoyu questioned sternly, "How did I dirty your clothes? Since you're in business, shouldn't you treat all customers equally? Are you saying you want to kick me out because I can't afford it?"
In Qin Can's eyes, he clearly couldn't afford it and was just making a fuss. She said, "This shirt in your hand is 860 yuan. Are you going to buy it? If yes, please pay over here!"
Oh ho! So she wants to fight until the end? I was thinking of leaving if you softened up, but with this attitude, no way!
"Whether I buy it or not, I still need to try it on first, right? Don't you allow trying on clothes here? Is the fitting room for ghosts? Or are you planning to recreate the Uniqlo incident?"
Their argument quickly attracted more attention, and even though the Uniqlo incident was an old joke, customers couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the looks and smirks around her, Qin Can felt even more that Wu Xiaoyu was deliberately embarrassing her. She yelled, "You, a poor farmer, can you afford 860 yuan for a shirt? I think you're here just to make trouble. Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll call mall security!"
Hearing her speak like this, the customers frowned. No one wanted to be served by such an arrogant and haughty person.
Angered by her discrimination, Wu Xiaoyu retaliated, "So what if I'm a farmer? Surely your grandfather is also a farmer? By saying this, you're insulting your grandfather too, aren't you?"
"Although I don't have an ungrateful granddaughter like you, I think I should teach you a lesson on behalf of your grandfather: don't be too arrogant or condescending, or you won't even know how you meet your end in the future!"
