Shining Pearl Building was the largest shopping mall in East Mountain City. It had various products, including domestic and foreign brands. The eighth to tenth floors were full of luxury counters.
Although Aiden was very casual about dressing up, and didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
But after all, a wedding was nothing that could be treated easily, so it was natural to dress more formally.
So, when Abigale let Kathy accompany him here to buy some clothes, he didn't refuse.
"Where are you taking me? Isn't there a place selling clothes on the third floor?"
Although Aiden saw everything new on the way, he quickly lost interest in shopping, and asked Kathy boringly.
Kathy rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are those clothes on the third floor formal? We need to go to the counter on the tenth floor!"
"Then why are those clothes being sold if they can't be worn? I think they look pretty!"
Aiden was a little confused.
As Kathy took him up the escalator, she looked at him and said,
"You must know that the woman you are marrying is the president of Beam Reeds Winery, with a net worth of tens of billions!"
"If you stand with her wearing clothes worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, you are embarrassing her!"
"Anyway, you didn't need to spend any money, nor to make any decisions. Just need to follow me!"
Aiden was intrigued by the escalator. He then waved his hand and said:
"For me, it doesn't matter what I wear! It doesn't matter whether I'm embarrassed or not, because it doesn't depend on the clothes, but the person!"
"Forget it! Since you said I'm not the one paying for it, why should I worry about it? You just have to make the decision for me!"
"Hehe, this staircase can walk by itself, it's so amazing! "
"What a country bumpkin!" Kathy rolled her eyes at him in contempt.
Did this guy crawl out of an ancient tomb?
Did he really never see an escalator before? What rubbish!
Did he take hundreds of years of virtue from his ancestors to marry Boss Ning?
Did he really think that his net worth would drop if he became a door-to-door son-in-law?
Now, if he ran to the street and shouted to find a husband for Abigale, those candidates could have crowded the winery!
The luxurious brand was on the tenth floor, but it was deserted because it was not the peak sales period, and there were not many people.
Kathy took Aiden to two stores, but didn't find any suitable one.
She was still shopping with great interest, but Aiden was bored. He sat on a chair in the rest area and said to her,
"Go and choose yourself. If you think it's suitable, ask me to try it out!"
It happened that Kathy didn't want to go with him, so she rolled his eyes and said to him,
"Okay, I'll go and help you choose first! You, stay right here and don't run around. I won't care about you if you get lost!"
After she left, Aiden looked around boringly, and his eyes lit up when he saw a Han Clothing store.
Although Aiden didn't know Han Clothing, he was attracted by the style when he first saw it.
Han Clothing was the national costume of the New Han Dynasty. It looked like a suit, but the collar was a stand-up collar, which made it more comfortable and looser than a suit.
It's just that young people nowadays felt that Han Clothing was not formal enough, so they preferred suits.
Another reason was that not everyone could wear Han Clothing.
If their figure was not up to the standards, the Han Clothing would look baggy when it was worn, like a washed-out inferior suit!
Aiden felt that the Han Clothing displayed in the window was very attractive, so he made his beeline.
"Welcome..." When a customer came in, the female storekeeper who was measuring an old man quickly greeted him.
But after seeing Aiden's outfit, her lips twitched. She then lowered his head and continued her work.
Aiden didn't care about this and walked to the window.
Looking at one of the green Han Clothing, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard the storekeeper behind him shout,
"What are you doing?! If you want to see it, go outside! Don't touch it!"
Aiden pointed at the clothes strangely and asked, "Aren't the clothes you have here for sale?"
The clerk snorted and said, "Of course they are for sale. Why are they here if they are not for sale? But the question is, can you afford it?"
"Do you know how much the set you're looking at costs? 248 hundred dollars!"
"Do you want it? If you buy it, touch it as you wish! "
A set of clothes costs more than 10,000 dollars?! Even if Aiden had no idea about money, he still knew that this was a very high price. The clothing was indeed expensive!
But when he saw the storekeeper looking down on him, he felt unhappy. He then pursed his lips and said,
“Do you mean that if someone comes to your store, they have to buy it before they can see it and touch it, right?"
"If it's not suitable, they can't leave? Aren't you forcing others to buy without them comparing? "
The storekeeper said impatiently, "Can't you get the idea?"
"Are you sure if you are here to see, or to buy?"
"Which of the clothes in this store can you afford?"
"I've made it clear that others can see and touch, but you can't! If you dirty the clothes, you can't afford to pay for it! "
Aiden was furious. He was not someone who could bear the anger.
Just as he was about to retort, the old man next to the storekeeper frowned and said,
“Girl, this is not the way to do business!"
"The purpose of managing a business is to welcome customers around, and treat them as friends! Even if it is a huge business, you must not bully customers and treat people regardless of their high or low status."
"You will scare the guests away..."
Aiden nodded quickly. Hear, hear! The old man was a well-educated man!
The storekeeper answered the old man with a false smile, "Sir, I understand the truth, but it also depends on the time and the person!"
"I'm the only one on duty today, so I have no extra time!"
"This guy looks like he can't afford it at first glance. If I let him look around, and dirty the clothes, when the store manager knows, I will be the unlucky one, right? "
The old man frowned and asked her,
"If there are so many people looking at the clothes, why are you not afraid of getting them dirty, instead, you questioned this man?"
"After all, you are really looking down on him! "
The storekeeper was obviously a little impatient, and her tone of voice was not so polite!
"Hey, old man, why are you meddling in others business? Just buy your clothes!"
"If I look down on him, does it have anything to do with you?"
"What can you do?"
"You don't even look at the way he is dressed. Does he have the qualifications to enter here? Why should I look up to him?"
"You are already old, and you are quite lenient!"
The old man turned blue with anger. He pointed at the storekeeper and scolded,
"Presumptuous! If you do business like this, you are driving away the customers!"
"You won't last long in business like this! "
"Are you kidding me?" The storekeeper sneered and rolled his eyes at the old man.
"Do you think everyone is as nosy as you?!"
"Besides, what does it have to do with me whether I do it for a long time or not?"
"The longer I work here, the boss will need to pay me!"
"You..." The old man was so angry that he pointed at the storekeeper. He wanted to say something, but his brows suddenly furrowed, and turned aside helplessly!
The storekeeper screamed and jumped away.
Seeing that the old man was about to fall to the ground, Aiden suddenly rushed over and hugged the old man in his arms!
The storekeeper pointed above with contempt and said,
"You old guy, you came here to try and get into trouble, huh?"
"It's a pity that we have surveillance here. There's no way you can splash the dirty water on me! "
"Shut up!" Aiden scolded her.
He looked down at the old man's grayish face, then checked his eyes and mouth. He frowned and said, "Coronary heart disease, and angina pectoris!"
Not daring to delay, he placed the old man on the ground, and took out the silver needles from the wooden box in his pocket. He then unbuttoned the old man's shirt, and pricked more than a dozen needles on his heart and chest!
