Chapter 64 How Are We Going To Settle This
After the sales assistant made the remark, she heard a notification from PayPal. "You have received a payment of one million."
The crowd standing outside the store was thunderstruck. They stared blankly at Christopher and Erisa as they could not believe their ears.
The sales assistant thought she had heard it wrong. It was after Christopher had shown her the transaction record on his phone that she realized the so-called broke lad had made a one-million transaction to the store.
Did he just make a payment of one million to the store? Is he crazy?
"My God, one million!"
"Is he one of the nouveau riche who became rich because of the compensation due to the government's demolition project?"
Everyone's jaw dropped, and they could not stop mumbling.
"Can I come in now?" Christopher said with a deadpan expression.
"W-Welcome!" The sales assistant was dumbfounded. Since when do nouveau riche become low-profile these days? Is this the latest trend?
A vortex of anger surged inside Christopher. These people always have to make me dump money to prove myself!
Lulu, too, was taken aback by the turn of events. Not only was the man rich, but he also made a transaction worth one million without hesitation. However, at the same time, she was relieved to know that the man could pay for her dress.
Erisa, on the other hand, was at a loss for words. She could roughly estimate the value of sixty thousand, but to her, one million was an astronomical sum.
"Where's your manager? Ask your manager to get out right now!" Christopher exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the manager, who was having her lunch break, had also received the PayPal notification on her phone. She did not believe it when she saw the figures at first. But after counting the number of zeroes, she was stunned. The most expensive single item they sold in the store was merely eighty to ninety thousand. What is this one million all about?
The manager instantly dashed out from the resting area and saw Christopher walking into the store with Erisa while her sales assistant kept flashing apologetic smiles at them. When the manager saw the woman in rage, she instantly recognized her as a VIP who had bought recently shopped in their store.
As an experienced manager, she could tell that the underdressed young man could be a nouveau riche. She quickened her pace and walked over to greet him. "Good day, Sir. Were you the one who credited one million to our account? Sheryl, please sign up a VIP card for our guest and give him ten thousand worth of vouchers."
"Don't worry about the VIP card yet. I came to your store to buy some clothes, but your sales assistant stopped us from coming in. She claimed that our hands would dirty your clothes and even wanted us to kneel. What are you going to do about it?" Christopher asked calmly.
Sheryl never expected Christopher to report her to the manager. She panicked and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. Please forgive me for being so—"
"Save it, Sheryl. Do you think he'll forgive you for what you've done? You're no longer entitled to this year's bonus... And you're fired." The manager raised her voice. Sales assistants must remember that customers are always right, especially those who spend millions in our store!
Sheryl was stunned. Compared to the other outlets in the mall, the store had the best employee benefits. In fact, she had to get her connections to pull a few strings to secure a position here. By working in this luxury boutique, she had hoped to find herself a rich boyfriend, but now her plan was foiled.
Her hope was dashed when she learned she was no longer entitled to her annual bonus, which amounted to several thousand. Had she known Christopher was a wealthy man, she would not have stopped him from coming in!
Christopher pointed at Lulu's dress and said, "Find me the same dress and help her change into the new one. You deduct the money from the amount I credited into the account and sign me up for your VIP membership program."
The manager immediately brought the dress over. She was thrilled that the store had hit a one-million deal in just one day!
Lulu felt slightly awkward in that situation, but she thought she could leave since Christopher had compensated her with a new dress. After changing into the new dress, she left the dress with the lollipop stain on the counter and was ready to walk out of the store.
"Now that I've bought you a new dress, shall we talk about my kid? You hit and yelled at her. So tell me, how are we going to settle this?"
