Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Completely Unnecessary
After all, this clothing was genuinely bought to take home. Shopping for such a long time is also understandable.
Jiang Xin’s mind wandered off there, and after a while, she didn’t know how long it had been when Xiao Zhao finally came out from the warehouse with the chosen clothes she had found.
Xiao Zhao came running out of the warehouse in a hurry with the clothes.
Seeing Jiang Xin still sitting on the sofa like she was before Xiao Zhao went to the warehouse.
Xiao Zhao instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this transaction hasn’t been completed, and the money hasn’t been paid yet, so technically, the clothes haven’t been sold.
If Jiang Xin had left mid-way due to something, then wouldn’t Xiao Zhao’s efforts have been in vain?
Xiao Zhao took big strides and quickly came to Jiang Xin’s side.
She glanced down and saw that the tea she had poured for Jiang Xin before going to the warehouse had been finished.
Xiao Zhao thought for a moment, then handed the clothes she had just found in the warehouse to Jiang Xin and said:
"The clothes you wanted, I’ve already found your size in the warehouse."
"Look, they’re brand new, unopened, guaranteed not to have been tried on by anyone else."
"You should open them and check to see if there are any flaws. If there are, I’ll replace them for you."
"After all, when buying clothes, since we’ve spent the money, we should definitely buy ones we’re happy with, and there’s nothing wrong with checking carefully."
"Considering the inconsistencies in the production line, there might be some loose threads or areas not properly sewn in the clothes, and buying such clothes home would be a hassle. We shouldn’t waste our money!"
Being meticulous is never wrong, and this is something Jiang Xin wholeheartedly agrees with.
Xiao Zhao isn’t wrong; it’s necessary to open and check carefully.
If you end up buying clothes with holes, you can’t wear them, and then would have to go back to town to return or exchange them. Mainly, Jiang Xin doesn’t want to bother coming back to exchange them.
It’s better to solve everything in one go.
Moreover, the most critical point is that if there are issues with the sewing, causing the clothes to tear and be unwearable, that would be unfortunate.
After all, she really can’t sew, although Jiang Xin has lived for two lifetimes.
But when it comes to needlework, Jiang Xin is genuinely clueless.
So, if the clothes really have holes, there’s nothing she could do about it, other than set them aside.
Checking carefully would help avoid waste.
Xiao Zhao, thinking this, handed all four pieces of clothing to Jiang Xin, letting her unseal and check them herself.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhao took the disposable cup Jiang Xin used for tea and went to refill it for her.
And with that, she dashed off swiftly.
When Jiang Xin came to her senses, she saw Xiao Zhao already pouring tea for her over by the tea area.
Jiang Xin paused and remembered the bitter taste of the tea she drank earlier. It was utterly... unbearable to recall, as it was really exceptionally awful.
But now, if she were to stop Xiao Zhao, it’d be too late, so she might as well let her get the tea. Whether to drink it is her own decision anyway.
Jiang Xin opened up the four garments in her lap one by one and checked them.
Seeing that there were no issues, she packed them back up, waiting for Xiao Zhao to return so they could check out.
Xiao Zhao moved quickly and wasted no time bringing the tea back, handing it to Jiang Xin.
The tea was fetched with Xiao Zhao’s hard effort from the tea room, and Jiang Xin felt it’s not quite polite to refuse outright.
So she took it, symbolically sipped a little, and then placed the disposable cup on the coffee table.
Then, she turned to Xiao Zhao and said:
"Let’s go; it’s getting late. Let’s hurry and check out. We’ve already wasted quite some time here."
"Just in case more customers show up shortly, affecting your ability to attend to other customers."
Jiang Xin glanced at the cup of tea she had placed on the coffee table, feeling a bit guilty.
Her eagerness to check out was basically to escape the tea since it was genuinely unpleasant, and she didn’t want to drink it again.
That bitter taste was more miserable than her life up to this point.
Avoiding another sip if possible, if not for the fact that the Department Store was so crowded now, Jiang Xin would have really wanted to take out a piece of candy from her space.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao nodded promptly and led Jiang Xin towards the cash register.
That cup of tea she had just prepared for Jiang Xin was naturally ignored.
After all, checking out was the most important thing at the moment, as it directly affected her commission for the month!
How could she not be excited?
At the cash register, after calculating the price, it closely matched the amount estimated by Xiao Zhao and her coworkers—it was 182.5 yuan in total.
Since the mall was publicly owned and all those present were employees, they couldn’t round down the price, so there were no discounts.
Of course, Jiang Xin didn’t mind these details.
She paid the money quite willingly and saw Xiao Zhao preparing to neatly fold the clothes and place them into the shopping bag.
Seeing this, Jiang Xin waved her hand:
"No need to fold them; just toss them into the bag directly."
There’s no need to fold them neatly since the clothes would get jumbled in the bag as she carries them around anyway.
Instead of wasting time folding them neatly, it’s better to just messily throw them into the bag since the end result would be the same.
In her space, there’s an iron ready to use; she can wash the clothes first when she’s ready to wear them and iron them properly in her space.
Even though these newly bought clothes are brand new and unopened by anyone else, Jiang Xin has a slight case of germophobia.
One can only guess how many people have touched the clothes during production.
So it’s best to wash them to be safe since the germs on them likely aren’t few.
Additionally, having been stored in the warehouse for so long, there might be some unpleasant odors on the clothes.
Washing them would indeed be more suitable.
This was the first time Xiao Zhao encountered such a request.
Although Jiang Xin was her first customer.
But she had worked at the Department Store for a week and had encountered all sorts of customers.
Especially sometimes when her colleagues attended to customers, some would request the staff to carefully fold the clothes they purchased, ensuring not a single crease.
