Chapter 1242 - 1442: Definitely Not Mediocre
In the afternoon, the Jade Store was sparsely populated.
Once in a while, one or two customers would come to glance around and then leave; the store owner, bored to death, sat behind the counter dozing off.
An Hao walked in, and several salesclerks approached her, asking what she needed.
She waved her hand lightly and walked straight towards the owner sitting behind the counter, gently knocking on the glass surface: "Owner."
The store owner rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched lazily as he stood up, "What do you need? How can I help you?"
This old store had been handed down for a hundred years, maintaining this customer-service philosophy since the Republic of China era.
This philosophy would continue to be passed down, and in the twentieth century and even later, this customer-first philosophy would be carried forward and expanded.
No matter whether you bought something or not, the owner’s smile never faded—a far cry better than the employees of many state-run stores these days.
"Owner, I heard you are very skilled in jade appraisal and particularly fair, and I just happen to have a family heirloom jade bracelet that I hope you can appraise," An Hao said as she slid the bracelet off her wrist and handed it over.
"One moment, please." The store owner wiped his reading glasses with the corner of his shirt, put them on, and carefully took the bracelet from An Hao’s hands. A gleam of sharp light momentarily flashed across his eyes before it vanished.
An Hao observed the owner’s eyes and expressions closely. Although his reputation was good within the industry, she still had to be extremely cautious since he was a merchant.
