"Hello, this dress is priced at 200,000!"
The sales associate's response was loud and clear, but Su Liuying still felt she hadn't heard properly, so she asked again, "Um, how much did you say it was?"
"200,000!"
The sales associate patiently repeated the answer for her, and Su Liuying blinked rapidly—this time she had heard clearly. 200,000? My goodness, her annual salary was barely more than 200,000. Even if she lived on nothing but air, she would have to scrimped for a whole year to afford that dress.
Without a word, she turned and went into the fitting room to take off the dress. Holding the garment as she came out, her face bore an awkward smile. She passed the dress back to the sales associate and said, "Sales associate, I'm sorry for the trouble, but could you hang this dress back up? I'm going to look at some other styles!"
