The store manager had already noticed the young couple at the entrance.
But due to the backlight at the main door and her position behind the counter, she couldn't see their faces clearly.
It was only when the couple entered the store that the soft lighting illuminated them, and both the store manager and the surrounding female sales associates' eyes lit up slightly.
What a handsome pair!
The boy was good-looking and well-built, while the girl had a graceful figure and delicate features; their appearances and physiques were a perfect match!
Although they served dozens or even hundreds of couples every day, this was the first pair this month that truly caught their attention.
The manager quickly glanced at the couple's attire and didn't notice any high-end luxury items.
She immediately guessed they were a couple of college students and probably didn't have much spending power.
However, business is business, and customers must be welcomed regardless of size.
"Sisi, go attend to them."
The manager instructed a female sales associate who was about 163 centimeters tall and seemed a bit reserved in her movements.
She was new to the store, so it was a good opportunity for her to practice her sales skills.
After instructing the sales associate, the manager went to attend to regular customers, as they were the main source of the store's monthly income.
Wang Sisi took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and walked over to the couple at the entrance.
This was the first pair of customers she was attending to by herself since joining three days ago—she had to give it her all!
...
"This lipstick is only 298? That's not very expensive... I thought these big-brand lipsticks would cost at least 500 to 1000 each!"
Gu Yu picked up a lipstick with a black case, adorned with a silver decorative ring, and meticulously examined it.
Golden Eyes activated, and all the information about this lipstick flowed into his mind.
...
Dior Rouge Dior #999, genuine product.
"Expensive? How can it not be! But this lipstick is really good... 999 is their classic line, I wouldn't even use it daily! Only for student council meetings or when I'm hosting events," Lin Xinyue said as she took the lipstick from Gu Yu's hand and played with it fondly.
"Hello, welcome to Dior. May I assist you both with anything?"
Just then, a gentle and sophisticated voice came from behind them.
Gu Yu turned to glance at the sales associate, then turned back around without responding. Although he wasn't buying lipstick, he felt that he already knew more about the store's products than the sales associate did!
Wang Sisi nervously saw the handsome customer turn his head towards her, ready to show off her speaking skills, but he just looked at her and turned back around!
This made her instantly nervous.
She wondered to herself if she had said something wrong and why the customer didn't respond.
"The sales associate is greeting us, why didn't you say anything? That's rude!"
Lin Xinyue pinched Gu Yu's waist and gave him a slight eye roll.
"Hey, I just felt we didn't need assistance," Gu Yu said with an awkward smile.
"If we don't need guidance, why don't you explain it to me?"
Lin Xinyue pouted and turned around with the lipstick in hand before Gu Yu could respond with an "okay."
Gu Yu swallowed the "no problem" he was about to say.
Showoff failed!
"Excuse me, I have a question. What's the difference between this Rouge Dior 999 and the old red tube 999? Did they upgrade the formula?"
Wang Sisi was still reflecting on what she might have said wrong when she suddenly heard Lin Xinyue's question, hesitated for a moment before realizing, and quickly explained, "The difference is in the appearance! The formula and color of the lipstick haven't changed!"
"Oh...so it's an upgrade in appearance, right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Smiling, Wang Sisi nodded her head, letting out a sigh of relief internally, grateful that this question had just been covered in her training.
Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed!
"This one is also a matte true red, and I already have one…"
Lin Xinyue put the lipstick back into the display box, her gaze shifting between different boxes, seemingly unable to find the style and shade she liked.
Watching the beautiful customer struggle to decide, Wang Sisi suddenly remembered the sales technique she had read about just yesterday.
When a customer can't make a choice, proactively recommend the best option to her!
So, she walked two steps to the right, looked at several lipsticks on the counter, carefully selected one, and handed it to Lin Xinyue.
"I recommend you take a look at this 520 rose red! It's a very soft pink with a hint of rose, perfect for your enviable fair skin, which, under the lights, seems to lack some color. This 520 really enhances the complexion when applied!"
Hearing the salesperson's explanation, Lin Xinyue nodded gently, looked at her cheeks in the mirror beside her, and indeed, they seemed a bit lackluster.
With so much going on recently and frequent late nights, she had neglected her skincare!
Seeing the customer nod, Wang Sisi knew she had successfully sparked her interest to buy, which meant she had completed the first phase of the sales technique—the icebreaker.
Once the ice was broken, the rest of the conversation would be smooth sailing!
She pressed further, "You said you have a matte 999, so you should know it's quite dry and needs a base of lip balm. By contrast, this 520 is more moisturizing and better suited for daily use when going out!"
Without waiting for Lin Xinyue to nod in agreement again, she turned to Gu Yu standing beside Lin Xinyue, "Sir, with the Autumn Equinox approaching, the temperature is gradually dropping and the air is becoming drier. You could give this 520 lipstick to your lady! It would warm her heart and protect her lips!"
Gu Yu, who had just been quietly listening to the salesperson, was stunned.
Wasn't his girlfriend buying lipstick?
Why was she pitching it to him?
But soon, he saw a blush spread across Lin Xinyue's cheeks as she whispered softly, "He's just my boyfriend! I'm not his wife yet!"
Seeing Lin Xinyue's shy and adorable demeanor, Gu Yu was taken aback, yet a thrill ran through his heart as well!
I'm Lin Xinyue's husband now?!
Then I must buy it!
He immediately pulled out his bank card and handed it to the salesperson, excitedly saying:
"Buy! Definitely buy! Exactly! How can one lipstick be enough for a girl? Charge it to my card!"
Gu Yu's motion to pull out his card was so swift that Lin Xinyue couldn't stop him. If she didn't know he was buying lipstick, she might have thought Gu Yu was trying to buy the whole store!
"I can give you a 10% discount on this lipstick! If you've decided, I'll go pack it up for you right now!"
"Pack it up!"
"Right away, Sir!"
Wang Sisi's face lit up with excitement as she took Gu Yu's bank card and then hurried to the counter to pack the lipstick!
Watching the salesperson packing the lipstick at the counter, Gu Yu couldn't help but marvel:
"Tsk! Such strong sales rhetoric! Even I fell for it!"
Lin Xinyue gently pinched his waist and rolled her eyes at him, complaining, "I didn't even agree to you buying me lipstick! You went ahead and decided on your own!"
Gu Yu also stealthily stretched out a hand to pinch Lin Xinyue's soft waist but she deftly dodged.
Helplessly withdrawing his hand, "It's only three hundred yuan anyway, consider it the first gift I've given you!"
Looking into his earnest eyes, Lin Xinyue simply pursed her lips and said no more, though her heart was overflowing with sweetness.
Just then, the light from the store door was suddenly half-blocked by someone.
Soon after, a discordant voice rang out, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, needing to swipe a card for a mere three hundred yuan lipstick? What bumpkins!"
Gu Yu frowned and looked up, only to see the female thief from the school gate in the morning, hanging on the arm of a tall man, entering with a look of disdain.
"Tsk, I thought it was who, isn't this the pen thief?"
Gu Yu's lips curled slightly, responding without showing any weakness.
