CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: CONSIDERATION

As for the rest of the clothes, they were all neatly folded by the saleswoman.

After all, the space was too small, and there wasn’t much room for her to showcase them.

After guiding Jiang Xin to the clearance area,

the young saleswoman gave Jiang Xin a thorough look, seemingly contemplating which clothes to recommend.

Judging from Jiang Xin’s attire, the saleswoman thought that Jiang Xin suited the style she was currently wearing.

The gentle and sweet style looked like the kind that elders would appreciate in a well-behaved girl.

So, almost without a second thought, the saleswoman recommended clothes of the same type to Jiang Xin.

After some consideration, the saleswoman expertly picked a long pink dress from the pile and handed it to Jiang Xin:

"What do you think of this dress?"

"I think it complements your skin tone quite well. Why don’t you try it in the fitting room to see how it looks on you?"

"If I’m not mistaken, this dress was originally priced at about thirty-five yuan, and now it’s on sale for around eighteen yuan."

"Moreover, this dress was taken off the bestsellers list just a couple of days ago. The style isn’t outdated, so buying it now is a great deal."

"Had you come three days ago, you would have paid the full price of thirty-five yuan."

"The price difference is significant; I think it’s worth giving it a shot. You won’t be losing anything, so why not try it on?"

"If you don’t think it suits you, you can always look at something else."

The young saleswoman, holding the dress, was full of admiration.

She genuinely thought the dress was perfect for Jiang Xin.

That’s why she worked so hard to recommend this dress to Jiang Xin.

She even wanted her to try it on in the fitting room, hoping she would buy it if it suited her.

Young ladies like her should wear beautiful clothes and dress up nicely.

This little dress couldn’t be more appropriate.

Besides, she really thought it was a bargain.

The fabric of the dress felt extraordinarily smooth; if she could afford it, she’d love to buy one for herself.

Jiang Xin stared at the soft pink dress and, almost without thinking, firmly refused.

She had a strong aversion to such an overly sweet style.

"No, no, this style is too sweet; it doesn’t suit me. Can you help me find some ordinary long-sleeved T-shirts and long pants in plain colors? I’ll see how they look."

"The price doesn’t matter as long as they’re comfortable. Don’t pick a dress for me; I’m not fond of wearing dresses."

Upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, the saleswoman’s hand, which was holding the long dress, instantly froze.

She honestly hadn’t expected a girl Jiang Xin’s age not to like dresses.

If she wasn’t mistaken, their ages weren’t that different; they were almost the same.

When she was Jiang Xin’s age, she was at the prime age for loving beauty.

She wished to fill her entire wardrobe with pretty dresses, which would surely improve her mood.

Sadly, her family couldn’t afford that back then.

Of course, they still couldn’t.

The saleswoman looked down and gave a bitter laugh, amused by her own poverty.

The saleswoman felt a bit awkward, quietly tucking the dress back into the pile.

Then, following Jiang Xin’s idea, she went to find clothes that would suit Jiang Xin.

After all, she was just a little sales clerk and had to cater to the customer’s preferences.

She couldn’t force people to buy clothes they didn’t like.

But she genuinely felt a bit regretful.

Because she sincerely thought the dress would look great on Jiang Xin.

About two or three minutes later, the saleswoman pulled out a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of slightly flared jeans from the pile and asked Jiang Xin’s opinion.

"What do you think of this outfit?"

While speaking, the saleswoman glanced down at Jiang Xin’s shoes. Today, Jiang Xin happened to be wearing white canvas shoes.

If she tried on the clothes, this outfit would match perfectly, not looking out of place.

When it comes to dressing, it’s essential to achieve coordination.

A suitable outfit paired with fitting accessories makes it visually pleasing and attractive.

Jiang Xin looked up and found it acceptable; the saleswoman’s taste aligned well with hers.

These two pieces didn’t look eye-catching at first glance and seemed quite ordinary.

But Jiang Xin, being someone knowledgeable in this area,

knew at a touch that they were made from top-notch materials.

Jiang Xin smiled at the saleswoman, took both the top and pants, and said to her:

"Where’s the fitting room? I’ll try them on to see if they fit."

As the largest Department Store in town, they certainly had basic facilities like a fitting room.

After hearing this, the saleswoman led Jiang Xin to the fitting room and let her go inside to change.

Once Jiang Xin went inside, the saleswoman didn’t leave but stayed to stand guard outside the fitting room.

Their fitting room was just a simple curtain-enclosed space.

It didn’t have a lock.

So to avoid unaware customers from assuming the fitting room was unoccupied,

and mistakenly entering while Jiang Xin was changing, which would be awkward.

This saleswoman wasn’t just letting Jiang Xin try on clothes to check the fit; she had another purpose.

Whether the clothes suit someone can only be seen once worn.

Moreover, products in their clearance area, to avoid disputes, and since they were already significantly discounted, were not returnable or exchangeable.

If Jiang Xin bought these clothes without trying them on and later found they didn’t fit well once home, that would be troublesome.

After all, there’s no return or exchange, as per the store’s rules, and as an employee, she couldn’t intervene.

In that case, Jiang Xin would waste her money.

In these times, earning money isn’t easy, and the saleswoman was about Jiang Xin’s age.

So, naturally, she seriously considered it for Jiang Xin.

The saleswoman didn’t want Jiang Xin to waste money, especially since Jiang Xin mentioned she didn’t have much to spend.
