Chapter 25 Brush Past Again

It is only 7:00am when Lin Luoran wakes up. She feels refreshed. The divine sense is so amazing, like a rotating “eye” with every detail unconcealed under its guard. It can see everything around the body within one meter even with the eyes closed.

Needless to say, Lin Luoran knows what she is doing—cultivate herself to be immortal. That must be pursuing immortality; otherwise, why would she possess divine sense and inward vision?

The defect is that though she has found the Reiki inside her body, she cannot control it. Whenever she tries to command it, the Reiki completely ignores her. After trying again, there is still no response. Lin Luoran gives up.

The phone rings, it is Baojia, and Lin Luoran knows that she’s here.

As expected, when looking out of the window, Lin Luoran finds that Baojia is waiting for her with her new car downstairs. Lin goes downstairs with a large bag of vegetables in hand, which Baojia loves so much that she immediately takes the bag from Lin, looking for cherry tomatoes to eat.

The keen-witted and capable city beauty is now like an agile rabbit who is eating cherry tomatoes. Lin Luoran holds back her smile and reminds Baojia, “Mind your makeup. You will go to work later.

Baojia closes the car door and pouts, “why don’t you drive your own car? In that case, I don’t need to pick you up!”

Lin Luoran cleverly zips her mouth, not arguing with Baojia. Baojia is the famous “Qin designer” in her field, while Lin Luoran is just an intern shop assistant. Therefore, it will be so showy to drive BMW to work.

Both of them should first report to the administration building of Liu’s Jewelry. Baojia goes to the design department while Lin Luoran’s brought to the sales department. The first floor of Liu’s Jewelry Administration Building is about two or three hundred square feet, which is the largest sales department in R City compared with other general department stores in which there are only a few counters.

The manager is a woman in her thirties, wearing a black suit and a pair of rimless glasses with meticulous makeup—what a decent appearance. However, she is old; the small wrinkles around her eyes can be seen.

“Hello, Manager Zhou. I’m a new shop assistant. You can call me Lin Luoran.”

Lin Luoran stretches out her hand and smiles calmly at Manager Zhou.

Manager Zhou immediately looks Lin Luoran up and down without showing her feelings. At first, she is not satisfied with Lin Luoran , who is 27 years old with no working experience. Lin’s high school degree makes her believe that Lin may have pulled strings to be hired.

Bosses don’t necessarily hate people who have powerful connections. But as for those who have a strong background while lacking ability, she doesn’t like them for she is not allowed to fire them easily.

From the beginning, Manager Zhou has defined Lin Luoran as the kind of people she doesn’t like. But now she has slightly changed her idea at first sight of Lin Luoran , who is graceful and elegant without divulging her age at all.

Manager Zhou smiles, “Follow me to get your work clothes.”

The suits worn by shop assistants are the same design as that of the manager. The difference is the color. Those general shop assistants are dressed in pink and white, which is more elegant, shining with emerald and jade.

It is clear that Liu’s administrative efficiency is very high since the suit issued to Lin Luoran fits very well; what’s more, her name badge is ready within only three days.

Pink is fond of by most women. Almost every girl had a dream to become a princess. Put the dream aside, pink clothes don't suit everyone’s skin tone: they reinforce each other with people who have fair skin, while women with darker skin tone do not look that beautiful in the pink suits.

Of course, Lin Luoran feels no pressure wearing it due to her fair skin. Besides, jealousy can be seen from the faces of the shop assistants here when she is guided by Manager Zhou to counters.

They make self-introductions briefly one after another with Manager Zhou as the middleman. Lin Luoran is new here, so she doesn’t have a counter. What she can do now is to do some trifles for the other counters.

During the limited spare time, Lin Luoran needs to take a look at the brief introductions of different kinds of emerald, jade, and precious gemstones. If it wasn’t for Lin Luoran’s excellent memory, she would feel at a loss seeing such a large pile of boring data.

Lin Luoran looks much younger though the shop assistants are younger than her. They consider Lin as a new graduate. At first, they feel it may be difficult to get along with Lin Luoran for her beautiful appearance. After being with her for half a day, they begin to call her “Xiao Lin” for her gentle and amiable attitude.

Well, though newcomers in the workplace are usually called “Xiao*,” it is embarrassed being called “Xiao Lin” by others who are younger than her.

“Xiao Lin, you may have lunch now! The company canteen is on the third floor. “

The speaker is Liu Mei, who is not tall but looks very candid. Lin is close to her. She took the initiative to introduce some details to Lin all morning.

As a newcomer here, Lin Luoran volunteered to keep an eye on the counters while others go to have lunch. Now it’s her turn.

Since this is her first day here, it is not proper to correct Liu Mei’s form of address toward her. Therefore, she thanks her and then goes to have lunch.

As she turns around, the revolving door is pushed open, and one man with a woman wearing fashionable clothes comes in. The woman is petite and lovely, wearing a pair of high heels to match the young man who is more than 1.8 meters high.

“Mu, this is my birthday gift, I want something very expensive.” The woman says in an affectedly sweet but not repugnant voice, which is a proficient skill of almost every beautiful lady in R City.

The petite woman is indeed beautiful with light make-up and bright eyes. It is a kind of natural beauty that let people cannot help being attracted by her.

On hearing this and seeing the famous brand on the two, the salespeople’s eyes light up. The tall man called Mu is obviously wealthy.

The main business of Treasure House is to sell emerald, jade, and all kinds of precious gemstones. Gold and silver necklaces cannot be classified as pearls and jewels but ornaments that are shown only on the outer counter. The couple goes straight inside, so there is no doubt that they are wealthy.

Mu Tiannan sees the back of Lin Luoran, feeling familiar. But he doesn’t pay much attention since the woman beside him is shaking his arm. Besides, Lin Luoran has changed her hairstyle. Therefore, Mu Tiannan regain his presence of mind, “of course, birthday is only once a year, so you can choose whatever you like.”

There is a glimmer of light in the bright eyes of the woman. She thinks. I can choose whatever I want? Many jadeite jades are worthy of millions of yuan in Treasure House. Of course, she wants the most precious ones…However, she knows that if she wants to marry Mu Tiannan, she has to mask her greed, so she smiles, “If you spend too much money, I will be unhappy too. How about giving me a small diamond?”

It is Mu Tiannan’s turn to be surprised. He changes girlfriends frequently, and most of them will grasp the chance to swindle money or material things out of him.

But as a son of Mu’s family, he will be laughed at if he really gives a present that is not jewelry to his girlfriend, so he still brings the petite woman to the diamond counter.

“You can choose a diamond for more than one carat and under two.”

Mu is so generous! The woman smiles and nods with her eyes wandering through the counters. Finally, she chooses a diamond ring that happens to be precisely one carat that is pretty ordinary in carat diamonds with the price tag “¥48,888”.

Although the woman knows how to behave in such a situation, she is a little bit inattentive by choosing a ring. On seeing this, Mu Tiannan evaluates the woman in mind and wonders if it is time to change a girlfriend though he doesn’t show his feeling obviously.

“This diamond is too small and old fashioned. This hairpin is better. Try it on!” Mu Tiannan is pointing at a star shape hairpin that is about two carats with a large diamond in the middle dotted with tinny diamonds, flashing under the light. So beautiful that can be compared to the stars in the sky! —But he said it to Liu Mei.

Of course, the one who pays has the power to make a decision. The price tag is more than 180000, which is several times more expensive than the ring. What’s more, the customer is so generous that Liu Mei needn’t introduce the product. Thinking of the commission, Liu Mei smiles more genuinely with joy.

“Sir, you have such good taste! The star hairpin is just like custom made for this beautiful lady with fine hair.” Mu Tiannan smiles at Liu Mei and hands over his credit card.

Liu Mei handles it quickly. Mu Tiannan takes the hairpin and puts it on the head of the petite woman. Mu Tiannan is right above her head that she cannot restrain herself from being intoxicated especially when catching the envious expression on salespeople’s faces.

Mu Tiannan is satisfied with his taste and smiles, fixing the hairpin— well, what a perfect breakup gift!
