Chapter 414 Discount Shoe City

The top student winked at Yun Ya and casually took the earring from her hand.

Then, looking at the stall owner, he said, "Whether you said you'd refund me if I had an allergic reaction or inflammation or not, you did guarantee that these items are silver."

The top student calmly looked at the onlookers and continued, "Everyone knows that gold and silver jewelry will not cause skin inflammation or allergies, so I have reason to suspect that the material of your jewelry is not silver."

The onlookers started chattering amongst themselves, and the stall owner, realizing the situation was getting out of hand, knew he couldn't let the boy continue. Otherwise, no one would dare buy anything from him.

He chuckled and said, "Oh dear, I misspoke earlier. It's not that you haven't taken good care of yourself, maybe I just picked up the wrong item. Hehe! How about I exchange it for a different style of silver jewelry, or give you a refund?"

Yunya chose to get a refund, and this time the stall owner returned the money to Yunya without saying a word.

Yun Ya carefully pocketed the money and left the stall with the top student. Once they were in a secluded spot, Yun Ya quickly thanked him.

The top student just smiled and then advised, "If you want to buy silver jewelry, go to a specialty store. The goods sold at roadside stalls are not genuine."

Yun Ya nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you!"

After saying that, the two parted ways and went home.

The next day, Yunya started looking for work everywhere. While working at "Kuabu" (a mobile phone company), she went shopping after get off work and discovered a large shoe store on Commercial Street A.

There are eight or nine employees working there. The store is very large and divided into four areas.

On the left are men's dress shoes, on the right are women's dress shoes, and further in are sneakers. One wall is lined with men's sneakers, and the other wall is lined with women's sneakers.

Next to the checkout counter are two small display carts filled with discounted items.

Yunya really wanted to work here; she thought that such a big shopping mall must pay a high salary.

Yunya arrived at the entrance and looked up at the large sign hanging above the shopping mall that read "Affordable Shoe City".

Yunya gritted her teeth and mustered her courage to walk into this "Affordable Shoe City".

A short woman who looked like a manager approached, sized Yun Ya up and down, and asked, "Young lady, are you here to buy shoes?"

Yunya quickly shook her head, "I'm here to apply for a job."

The short woman raised an eyebrow. "Our hiring requirements are quite high. Do you have any relevant work experience?"

Yun Ya said firmly, "Yes, I worked at Kuabu for a year."

The short woman thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, you can give it a try first. It's a three-day trial period. If you perform well, you can stay."

Yunya was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement. Then she asked, "So, how much is our salary? Are there any days off?"

The short woman replied: "A monthly base salary of 1000 plus a 2% commission."

Upon hearing this, Yunya realized that the salary here was indeed high. She was delighted and decided to perform well so that the boss would keep her on.

After the interview, Yunya happily went home. She even prepared a new outfit for work the next day.

The next day, Yunya officially became a member of the shoe market. And the short woman who had spoken to her the day before turned out to be the shop owner.

Yunya arrives at the store early every day to clean with the owner and the regular employees.

She also arranged the shoes in each area neatly and greeted each customer warmly.

Although she was a bit flustered at first, she learned quickly and her performance gradually improved.

In these busy yet fulfilling days, Yunya is full of hope for her new life in the future.

After a three-day trial period, Yunya passed the boss's approval and officially became a staff member there.

Yunya worked at the store for a week and found that the employees there were very enthusiastic about selling goods.

Normally, everyone stands at the door to greet customers. But later, two employees got into an argument because they were both serving the same customer at the same time.

Yunya quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart. The proprietress also rushed over upon hearing the commotion and gave them a stern reprimand.

The importance of teamwork was emphasized, and the rules for receiving customers were revised.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the shoe store became somewhat tense.

Yun Ya didn't want to see everyone like this, so she privately talked to the two employees separately, advising them to calm down, since they were all doing it for work.

With Yun Ya's efforts, the two gradually improved their relationship.

That day, a picky customer came into the store and spent a long time looking through various sections but couldn't find any shoes he was satisfied with.

Yunya patiently stayed with the customer throughout, constantly recommending suitable styles based on the customer's needs.

In the end, the customer found the shoes she wanted and praised Yunya's service highly.

This incident made her colleagues look at Yunya with new respect, and their relationship gradually returned to what it was before, becoming more united.

In this warm and supportive group, Yunya is finding her work increasingly easier and is looking forward to her future work experiences.

Yunya was assigned to the men's leather shoe section, which was more suitable for her.

Because women tend to dawdle when shopping; if they want to buy just one pair of shoes, they might visit every shoe store on the street. Otherwise, they always feel like they've overpaid and gotten ripped off.

Yunya is also impatient and simply cannot serve customers like this at all.

She herself is that kind of person; when buying a piece of clothing, she can look through all the clothing stores.

There are three sales clerks in Yunya's area: one is tall and thin, one is shorter, and Yunya is of medium height.

That day, a well-dressed man entered the store and went straight to the men's leather shoes section.

The tall, thin man and Yun Ya went to greet them almost at the same time. They looked at each other and were both a little embarrassed.

The tall, thin man spoke first: "Sir, take a look at our newly arrived leather shoes; the material is exceptionally good."

Not to be outdone, Yunya introduced another style: "Sir, this one is more fashionable and suits your temperament perfectly."

The man seemed a little bewildered by the two, and frowned. Seeing this, the proprietress quickly walked over and glared at them.

She then smiled and said to the man, "Sir, please don't mind, we'll have one of our staff members serve you."

After saying that, the proprietress pulled Yunya aside and said seriously, "Yunya, have you forgotten what happened last time? You must follow the rules."

Yun Ya blushed and lowered her head, feeling both ashamed and annoyed. After the proprietress left, the tall, thin man gave Yun Ya a smug look before continuing to serve the gentleman.

Yunya felt a little wronged. She was the one who saw the customer first and served her first. Why should she be criticized for the customer she won over with her own skills?

Is this what they call bullying the weak and fearing the strong, bullying new employees? If so, she's not afraid, after all, everyone starts from scratch, from new to old, from unfamiliar to familiar.
