Chapter 403: Zhou Chen Afraid
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Chen wanted to humiliate Xia Wan to show everyone that Xia Wan hadn’t chosen him because she willingly chose to be frugal now.
However, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to take the college entrance exam. His grades were excellent, and the teacher had assured him that as long as he maintained steady performance, getting into a top-tier university wouldn’t be a problem.
Zhou Chen became terrified. He stammered, “Let go of me. I won’t talk to Xia
Wan again.”
Xia Chen snorted and shook Zhou Chen off.
“You better keep your word, or else don’t blame me for being rough with you!”
Xia Wan felt warmth in her heart. Even in the face of rumors, her friends and brother stood firmly by her side.
Xia Wan also looked at the girl who had spoken up for her. “Thank you,
Xiaotian.”
Xiaotian blushed and nodded. “It’s nothing. They were just talking nonsense. I think it’s because your family owns a shop that many people don’t like you.”
Xia Wan smiled and took out some candy from her bag, handing it to Xiaotian. “Regardless, thank you for standing up for me.”
Xiaotian wanted to refuse, but Xia Wan was very insistent, so she reluctantly accepted the candy.
Xia Wan still remembered Xiaotian. In her previous life, she used to chase after Zhou Chen every day. Sometimes, girls from other classes didn’t like her and wanted to catch her and teach her a lesson.
Once, she was cornered by four girls in the corridor. It was Xiaotian who appeared and threatened these girls, telling them she had already informed the homeroom teacher. Only then did these girls let Xia Wan go.
Xiaotian had always been a kind-hearted girl.
Perhaps because of Xia Chen’s warning, Xia Wan didn’t hear anyone badmouthing her that day.
At noon, she went to the clothing store with Xia Chen and Liu Hua.
When she saw the clothing store across the street, Xia Wan’s expression darkened.
The interior design of the shop was different from theirs, but the decorations at the front were almost identical. They both had glass doors with two mannequins displaying fashionable clothes on either side.
Even the clothes on display were exactly the same as those in her shop.
This was outright plagiarism.
Xia Wan felt that her patience had been considerable since her rebirth, but she couldn’t help but feel angry.
This blatant copying of another shop’s creativity was shameless.
She led Xia Chen and Liu Hua straight into this shop.
When a salesperson saw customers approaching, they warmly greeted them.
“Welcome, three customers! Please take a look at our latest season’s clothing designs. You’ll look more attractive and popular in school when you wear them.”
“Plus, we have a loyalty points system. Every dollar you spend here earns you two points. which von can redeem for gifts from our store.”
Xia Wan sneered.
This shop was even copying their loyalty points system. In their shop, one yuan equaled one point, but in this shop, one yuan equaled two points, doubling the points value.
“Who’s the owner of this shop?” Xia Wan asked coldly. “Bring him out. I need to talk to him.”
The salesperson noticed that Xia Wan wasn’t here to buy clothes, and her previously friendly smile disappeared.
The salesperson scrutinized Xia Wan and said irritably, “So you’re not here to shop. You should have said so earlier.”
“Not just anyone can meet our boss. Why are you looking for him?”
Xia Wan took a more assertive stance. “I want to speak to your boss. Can a salesperson like you make that decision?”
“Either you bring your boss out now, or I’ll block the entrance of your shop today and claim there’s a problem with your clothing.”
The salesperson was taken aback by Xia Wan’s words.
She assessed Xia Wan, saying, “You still look like a student. How could you say something so shameless?”
Xia Wan sneered, “If your boss can engage in a price war with my family, what else can’t I do?”
“Since you won’t allow my family to sell clothes, then your family won’t sell clothes either.”
“I came here to meet him today to give both sides a chance to negotiate. If your boss is unwilling to negotiate, then there’s nothing more to say.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan walked straight to the shop’s entrance, ready to create a scene if necessary.
The salesperson realized Xia Wan wasn’t joking and started to panic.
“Wait a minute, I’ll call our boss..”
