Chapter 582 - 565 Acquisition of Zenith
Qian Xiaoxiao touched her buzz cut and asked Sister Xin for a hat, saying, "If I go back looking like this, my parents are going to nag again about how I won’t be able to get married."
Once they see her looking like this, they will definitely say she won’t be able to marry, and then tell her to grow her hair out and keep it neat. She had listened to them talk so much when she was younger, she found the idea of marriage terrifying. All the dos and don’ts, any slight mistake would prompt remarks about how the in-laws would look down on her. Now that she was older and had seen more of the world, she was even less willing to get married. Without money, a man was like a dead dog; with money, he swaggered around finding other women. So why get married? Being single, comfortable, and free was so much better.
Lu Jiaxin disliked hearing such talk the most: "Our worth as women isn’t just about getting married and having children. If they keep harping on about you not getting married with that broken logic, just fight back. They haven’t raised you, so there’s no need to endure it. Otherwise, they will keep on nagging incessantly. Once you shut them up, they won’t be able to nag anymore."
"Okay."
The next day when Lu Jiaxin woke up, Xiaoxiao was already gone from the villa to look for Gu Wenfeng. Everyone had their own affairs to attend to, and Lu Jiaxin was no different. Her plan for the day was to visit the stores. She didn’t take many people with her, but disguised herself as an ordinary customer instead.
She visited nine stores in one morning, observing from the perspective of a consumer, and found many problems. Some sales staff were overly enthusiastic, bombarding you with chatter the minute you walked in; others were too lax, letting the customers browse by themselves, giving perfunctory responses when asked questions; still others immediately gave up on a sale if they didn’t have the requested size and never thought about transferring stock from another store.
After eating lunch outside, Lu Jiaxin returned home. As soon as she arrived, she encountered a familiar sight and voice, smiling as she asked, "When did you get back?"
"Over an hour ago. The housekeeper said you went shopping. Who did you go with?"
