"Yo, where did this bumpkin come from?" another voice boomed from outside the shop.
"What era are we even in, people still use 'Niáng' (mother)? Heh heh heh, did you just crawl out of some mountain?"
As the voice spoke, a woman entered, followed by a young nanny carrying several bags.
The nanny walked straight towards the sofa.
She sat down next to Li Weili, in the spot where Li Weiyu had just gotten up from.
Tian Jing shifted her footing and grabbed the nanny who was about to sit on her daughter's lap, then pushed the nanny aside, "There's an empty seat over there."
The nanny was displeased. "Every time I come, I sit on this set of sofas. You guys move, and sit somewhere else."
In the waiting area, there were a total of three sets of sofas. The set Li Weili was sitting on was a three-seater.
The other two double sofas were narrower, and a long coffee table was placed in front of them, making it cramped to sit.
Who knew that the mistress was arrogant, and even the nanny was arrogant.
Seeing the two women who clearly knew each other were still pressuring the shop assistants, Tian Jing waved her hand.
"Shop assistant, clear out the riff-raff. Today, we're taking over the entire turnover of your shop."
Only then did the two women turn to look at the waiting area.
"Yo, a toad yawning with a big breath," the woman with the nanny spoke again. "Can you afford the turnover of this shop?"
"Whether I can afford it or not, you don't get to decide. Let the manager say so."
Saying that, Tian Jing grabbed the nanny and walked up to the woman. "Take your people and leave."
Then, Tian Jing said to the hesitant shop assistant, "Shop assistant, I told you to call your manager. Do your ears really have a problem?"
The shop assistant looked troubled. "Madam, these two ladies are..."
"I don't care who they are," Tian Jing interrupted, waving her hand.
"Doesn't doing business involve first come, first served?"
"Yes," the shop assistant stammered.
Tian Jing narrowed her eyes and asked, "My mother said 'I want this one' in four words. Did you hear that?"
"I..." The shop assistant hesitated.
The dress in her hand was the most expensive one among all the formal dresses for middle-aged and elderly women in the store.
She hadn't intended to let this old woman, who clearly looked like she was from the countryside, try it on.
But the loud-mouthed woman had asked if it was not allowed for customers to try on clothes.
The short woman was glaring at her, as if she would resort to violence if she said no, so she had no choice but to take it out.
"Heh, see?" The woman with the nanny sneered. "The shop assistant is being honest."
Tian Jing impatiently pushed the nanny out of the shop and stood in front of the two women and the old lady.
"Please leave. We have taken over the turnover for today."
Seeing her nanny being pushed out, the woman who entered later got angry.
"Shop assistant, call your manager and see who the manager will ask to leave!"
The shop assistant quickly went to make a call.
Tian Jing frowned. They had visited so many shops without issue, but this one had a problem.
Could it be that everyone who came to this shop to choose formal wear were considered "insiders" by Shen Jianrong and her ilk?
The manager, a woman in her thirties, immediately bowed and said, "Mrs. Gong, Mrs. Tang, you're here? Please come in."
Mrs. Gong, with her head held high, arrogantly gestured with her chin towards Tian Jing.
"Manager, why does your shop receive all sorts of people?"
"Not only do I have nowhere to step, but you also beat my nanny. How barbaric."
The manager turned to look at Tian Jing and the elderly, weak, women, and children in the shop, frowning and scolding the shop assistant.
"What's going on? It's Sunday, why are you casually serving other customers?"
The shop assistant looked at Tian Jing with difficulty.
Tian Jing sighed. Respecting the clothes before the person, this was true in any era.
She waved her hand to her group. "Let's go, we'll find another place. I believe the clothes here won't feel comfortable for you to wear anyway."
Li's mother held her daughter's arm and urged her eldest daughter-in-law to take everyone's clothing bags.
Seeing that the group of bumpkins had been driven away, Mrs. Gong smiled triumphantly.
"Shop assistant, you should check their bags. Don't let them sneak away with your clothes."
The shop assistant was taken aback.
The manager, however, reached out and stopped Ouyang Meihua. "Please empty your bags for us to check."
"Slap!" Tian Jing swatted away the manager's arm.
"You can't bear the consequences of checking our bags."
"Ask your shop assistant, how many clothes did we ask her to get?"
The shop assistant quickly spoke up. "Manager, they only tried on this one piece."
The manager was still skeptical, her eyes fixed on the bags in Li Min and Ouyang Meihua's hands.
At Tian Jing's signal, Li Min and Ouyang Meihua walked out of the shop.
The manager followed them to the doorway, her gaze never leaving the bags in the women's hands.
After Da Mai and Xiao Mai, who were carrying the child, and Li's mother, who was escorting Li Weili, had safely left the shop.
Tian Jing snatched the dress from the shop assistant's hand.
With a "rip," the dress was torn in half.
Folded in half and torn again, folded again and torn again. When the dress became scraps in her hands, she took out her bank card.
"I accidentally tore this dress. Swipe the card."
"You?" Mrs. Gong pointed at Tian Jing, furious.
"You?" Mrs. Tang also pointed at Tian Jing, furious.
She had come for this dress. The moment it was displayed, she had fallen in love with it, but the price was too high.
She had thought about asking her mother to try it on herself, and if it fit, her mother would buy it.
Just now, when that old woman from out of town was trying it on, her mother was already unhappy, saying that it was clearly her size, so why not buy it for her first.
After much effort, when the old woman took it off, she and her mother had rushed in to intercept it, but unexpectedly...
"Slap, slap."
Tian Jing batted down their arms and threw the bank card at the stunned shop assistant. "Swipe the card!"
The dark gold VIP three letters on the black bank card made the shop assistant a little worried.
This type of card required a minimum deposit of fifty million. Had she offended a major client?
Or a major client who intended to book the entire day's turnover?
At this moment, a group of men walked up to the shop entrance.
Ouyang Lei, carrying several bags, walked at the front. "Oh? You've already picked them out? Didn't we say we'd meet here? Are you leaving?"
"Manager Ouyang?" Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Tang looked at Ouyang Lei outside the shop in surprise.
Ouyang Lei raised an eyebrow. "And you are?"
"I am..."
Just as Mrs. Gong was about to speak, Tian Jing interrupted. "Ouyang Lei, we're changing shops. Do you have any recommendations?"
Ouyang Lei shook his head. "I don't shop much either. I wouldn't be out today if I wasn't accompanying you. I just bought a lot, so I'm a bit late."
Tian Jing took out her phone. "I'll ask Jianrong if there are any other formal wear shops."
"Madam, madam, our shop also sells formal wear, for men, women, old, and young. Please take a look over here."
The shop assistant next door, having heard the commotion from the shop on this side, and having no business, poked her head out to watch the fun.
Indeed, she had witnessed quite a show. The quick-witted shop assistant seized the opportunity to drum up business.
So many people, with bags and packages, must be genuine shoppers.
Tian Jing nodded at the shop assistant. "You first clear out your shop."
"Okay, okay, okay." The shop assistant busied herself and went into the shop.
As she entered, she called her store manager, quietly relaying the good news and telling her to come quickly to serve the distinguished guests.
She also reminded the other shop assistants not to look down on people.
