In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 254 Oil City Department Store
He was a man of imposing stature who, even in a bulky dark green down jacket, did not appear fat at all; instead, he exuded an aura of dominance like a mountain.

She was graceful and elegant, wearing a light yellow down jacket, with her hair up in an updo, and her face was exquisitely beautiful. She was simply the dream girl of every man.

Although her eyes held the tension and curiosity of a villager entering the city, her simple and clear gaze caused the passing men to steal glances at her again and again, until her own wife grabbed her ear and twisted it 180 degrees!

The two arrived at the department store. The first floor was filled with various jewelry counters, most of which were separate rooms. Brands like Lao Feng Xiang and Chow Tai Fook, which will become household names in the future, have already moved into the department store in the oil city.

However, the styles of gold jewelry are rather limited, and even from the perspective of someone like Dawei who has been through it all, some of them look a bit old-fashioned.

However, considering the current situation, the styles of various gold jewelry are already considered to be at the forefront of the times.

Yu Dawei initially just took Han Jingfan for a quick look around the store. After all, they had come all this way, so they wanted to buy some everyday items. Also, the New Year was just around the corner, and they should buy their parents some clothes.

Yu Dawei used to be someone who didn't care about other people's lives at all. Looking back, he never bought any clothes for his parents in his entire life.

He came again and bought clothes for his parents once a year, which wasn't much, even though it was considered extremely extravagant by the villagers these days. But Yu Dawei didn't think much of it; he knew how long his parents would live.

That's why he cherishes it all the more.

The young lady who came into the store saw the young couple, who just browsed around and left. She couldn't help but glance at them and roll her eyes, saying, "What's wrong with them? They're dressed so well, but they still can't afford it."

The young lady is a long-time employee at the jewelry store. She has personally witnessed her boss transform a small jewelry store into one that can compete with brands like Chow Tai Fook and Lao Feng Xiang.

Although her gold shop might be little known outside the oil city, every local in the oil city knows her gold products, which is something she can be proud of.

She dropped out of junior high school, and many of her classmates who also dropped out envied her for working in a gold shop, mainly because the working hours were short, the pay was high, and she could get a lot of commission after selling gold jewelry.

She worked in a gold shop for five or six years and saved enough money to buy a house in the oil city development zone.

But lately, I don't know why, my sales performance can't keep up with those new counter girls, who can close a deal every few days.

But she really looked down on those small orders of three or five hundred yuan. Selling gold requires keen eyesight, a sharp mind, and skillful hands. If she saw someone dressed well, they were very likely from a wealthy family. She had to be the first to attract the customer.

After that, the girl introduced the products to several groups of customers, but without exception, they either just looked at them or simply asked about the price; none of them were actually interested in buying.

Just as the girl was feeling sorry for herself, a middle-aged couple walked in through the door.

The man was wearing shiny black leather shoes and baggy trousers. His hair was slicked back with some kind of oil, making it look extremely greasy. He had a large belly and was carrying a black leather bag on his right arm. He stepped into the room.

The woman next to him was wearing a mink coat, her arms wrapped around the man's arms, her round buttocks swaying as she laughed and followed beside him.

"Welcome to Fu Bao Gold Shop." The girl immediately recognized that this couple were the real wealthy customers. She quickly bypassed the counter and hurried to the door, respectfully asking, "I'm Xiao Qin, the counter staff. What kind of jewelry would you like to see?"

The man glanced at the saleswoman's chest and was about to speak when he was stopped by the woman next to him.

"We're just looking around." The woman pulled the man toward the counter next to them.

She knew the man beside her inside and out. Today, he had come out for a walk behind his wife's back, mainly to buy gold jewelry.

She didn't want to be lured away by another vixen before she even got the jewelry. What was the point of all that sweating and effort she'd put in these past few days?
Now that I've got the mink coat and my allowance for the next year, the real challenge is still finding my gold jewelry.

Women should try to build good relationships with their partners before the other person goes back to their hometown.

"Oh? Sir, Madam. It's alright if you just take a look. We have many kinds of jewelry in our store, and I can introduce them to you." Xiao Qin, the sales clerk, has seen all kinds of customers over the years and has long since developed a thick skin comparable to a city wall.

"I said you..." The woman was already furious these past few days because she had done something she shouldn't have, and she was about to vent her anger on the female shop assistant next to her, but she was stopped by the man beside her.

"Why are you arguing with a young girl? Let her introduce us if she wants to." The man said half of what he meant, but the other half was conveyed to the woman through his eyes.

She'll introduce hers; we can just not buy it.

The woman glared at her husband. "Can we not buy it? We have to buy it today!"

The sales clerk seemed to think a big order was coming in today, and put in all his effort to describe the high-margin gold jewelry on display in his shop.

It's a pity that although the man was tricked into the jewelry store by the woman, he never intended to buy her any jewelry; he was just out having fun.

It's not that he's short of money, it's just that he's already invested a lot in this woman. Time has passed, and she's not as pleasing to the eye as the young woman beside him.

Just then, Yu Dawei brought Han Jingfan back in from outside. The two of them shopped for more than an hour and bought almost everything they needed.

After putting everything in the car, Yu Dawei took his wife to the gold jewelry store. Once they had bought the jewelry, they could drive away.

It's not that he has anything urgent to do, but you want to take Han Jingfan to a dog meat restaurant to eat dog meat.

He vaguely remembered that when Han Jingfan first became pregnant, she smelled the stewed dog meat at her neighbor Old Wang's house and kept swallowing her saliva. It wasn't that she loved to eat it, but that she was more sensitive to certain smells because she was having a minor illness.

Yu Dawei was busy raising money to buy equipment at the time, and he didn't care whether Han Jingfan ate dog meat or not, so he forgot about it.

Later, when he was old in his previous life, he always liked to reminisce about the days he spent with Han Jingfan when he was young.

Then I remembered the scene of her standing in the courtyard, sniffing the smell of the dog meat hot pot, and constantly swallowing her saliva.

One thing Zhang Yunqin was right about what Yu Laonian said: Yu Dawei wasn't born ignorant of social etiquette, but rather he disdained it.

He can understand many things, but he's just lazy, and he's learned eight or nine parts of his uncle Yu Chen's ways in this respect.

But this time, Yu Dawei wanted to make it up to Han Jingfan by taking her to the dog meat restaurant she ate at when she was pregnant with their second child.

However, as soon as the two entered the store, they found that no one came to look for them, and it was as if they had been ignored.

In fact, Xiao Qin, the saleswoman who was introducing jewelry to the women and men in the mink coats, saw it, but she chose to ignore it at that moment.

The main reason is that I think these two people really can't afford anything, which is why they're wandering around. If they really had money, they wouldn't be carrying anything after more than an hour of shopping.

She could tell at a glance that they were the kind of young couple who looked glamorous on the outside but were actually rotten inside; she had seen too many of those kinds of people.

The other sales assistants at the Fu Bao Gold Shop also saw Yu Dawei and Han Jingfan, but they were all busy with their own things.

Some were introducing products to customers, some were chatting with colleagues about their day's sales, and some were simply picking up a rag and wiping the counter without even looking up.

Some of the shop assistants, just like the female shop assistant surnamed Qin, saw through the true nature of this young couple at a glance.

There are also some people who are concerned because this couple was a customer that Sister Qin had previously dealt with. If they went there and the couple actually bought something, even if it was only a couple hundred yuan, it would still be considered poaching a customer.

If they really did that, Sister Qin, being a long-time employee, would definitely make things difficult for them in the future; after all, this kind of thing has happened before.

That's why Yu Dawei and Han Jingfan were left standing at the door, completely ignored.

Yu Dawei was somewhat bewildered, and cursed Lao Liang in his heart again, for being so unreliable every time!

During the dinner party that day, Yu Dawei mentioned to Boss Liang that he wanted to buy gold jewelry for his wife in Youcheng. He originally planned to go to Lao Feng Xiang. Although Lao Feng Xiang's styles are now limited, it has a big reputation and its gold jewelry is genuine.

As luck would have it, Lao Liang introduced him to a shop in the department store called Fu Bao Gold Shop, saying he knew the owner well; that Li Fu Bao was his half-brother; and that if he used Liang Hongwei's name, he could definitely get a discount, etc.

The key point is that Sister Liang was there to vouch for them, showing off her gold bracelet.

Yu Dawei also saw it, and the workmanship is indeed quite good; it can definitely be described as beautiful.

So, Yu Dawei told Boss Liang to go home and talk to Li Fubao, saying that he would come over today to look at jewelry and such.

He went to this gold shop first when he arrived at the department store, and then went to other gold shops such as Lao Feng Xiang and Chow Tai Fook. Since the styles were all very similar, he finally listened to his wife's suggestion and came here.

And this is it? They completely ignored the couple? Is this how business is conducted?

And the boss wasn't there either, so Yu Dawei didn't know who to complain to. Even Lao Feng Xiang has a lobby manager, but this place has nothing!

"Let's go, honey. Let's go to Lao Feng Xiang and buy it. The styles are all pretty much the same." Yu Dawei knew that his wife had her eye on Liang's gold bracelet and wanted to buy the same one, but he thought about it and decided against it.

Yu Dawei could never bring himself to swallow his anger and give money to someone else.
