As the year-end approaches, a sense of harmony and festivity begins to spread in every street and alley. Many shopping malls have started offering discounts to attract the eyes of custors. The magnitude of the discounts and the generosity of the gifts offered show the determination of each store and business to seize this opportunity to profit. After all, the current financial situation is not bright. The Western regions have just gone through a financial crisis, while dostically, the impact was not as severe due to different national conditions and concepts.
’Rhein’ is a five-star mall located in a pri area, with international brand-na stores. It offers a one-stop service from dining to entertainnt, providing everything one might need.
Every guest who enters ’Rhein’ can enjoy a noble treatnt here. From selecting goods to paying, there will be soone accompanying you, making shopping no longer confusing, and ensuring that every penny spent feels worth it without any misgivings.
Entering the magnificent lobby, Xiao Lin was amazed by the luxury before him. The high-end ’Rhein’ does not have many custors. The opulent and empty interior allowed the staff to focus on organizing clothes and attending to cleanliness.
He walked up floor by floor. These stores might not make a single sale in a day, but as long as they sell one item, it can exceed the total salary of all the store’s employees. However, how many people can afford such expensive things?
Compared to others, the neighboring stores’ custor flow was many tis greater. They cater to the masses, but in the end, there are more poor people in the world. The third floor belonged to the n’s section. Xiao Lin walked past a watch store and picked a simple watch as a gift. Today, he was eting Xia Yusheng, the CEO of ’Rhein’.
The Xia Family started with the departnt store business, passing down a history of over a hundred years from Elder Xia’s father. This has led to their current scale, with ’Rhein’ having branches in first-tier cities across the country, and mid-range malls and entertainnt venues in second and third-tier cities. The Xia Family now intends to enter the import-export trade, and Xia Yunong has been dispatched to the United States to negotiate the acquisition of a local trading company. If this acquisition is successful, the Xia Family will embark on a groundbreaking new path.
While lost in thought, he walked into a custom clothing store without noticing the na of the shop. He simply liked the elegant style of the clothes there. Accustod to dressing casually, he did not have high demands for brands. However, for formal occasions, certain social etiquettes must be observed, as Xia Xue had reminded him repeatedly, so he had to comply.
"Hello, is there anything I can assist you with?"
With warm service and a beaming smile, each employee here must adhere to these enforced principles. Here, the custor is considered the god, and any argunt with the custor is against the rules. Xiao Lin found such standards slightly exaggerated because the idea of the custor being god is universal in any service industry, but ’Rhein’s approach seed overly indulgent towards ’the god’.
"Miss Xia has custom-made a suit here." Xiao Lin responded with a smile to the staff.
"Are you Mr. Xiao?" The staff mber then paved a way for Xiao Lin, guiding him to a large fitting room where a man was standing. "Please wait here for a mont."
What they called a large fitting room was not rely big, but could rival even a common family’s living room, possibly surpassing it. The huge LCD screen was showing a newly-released blockbuster, while a palace-style sofa sat in the center. A carpet of the sa color sche as the sofa was thick enough to cover the bottom of shoes. Various snacks and freshly brewed English black tea were set on the coffee table, the aroma lingering in the air.
Xiao Lin sat on the sofa, and the gentleman standing by poured him a cup of tea naturally. anwhile, the earlier staff mber handed the formal wear to the gentleman and quickly exited. Male custors would be served by male staff to avoid any awkward situations, and female staff seldom entered the n’s changing area.
"Would you like to try on the formal wear now, or wait a mont?" Unlike female staff, male staff were more direct and clear with their intentions.
"Now." Putting down the tea, he followed the gentleman into the inner room, two fitting rooms, one already occupied.
"I’ll do it myself, you can stay outside."
He found the service sowhat unbearable. Changing clothes with soone hanging around was uncomfortable. Undressing quickly, he realized the truth in the saying that a person’s clothes make them, a subtle transformation took place.
"Does the waist need tightening?" The gentleman outside the door looked excited, the formal wear on Xiao Lin exuded an elegant aura, complenting the black and purple ensemble.
"There’s no ti, it’s fine as is." Adjusting the waist might enhance the effect, but it would fit too snugly, feeling uncomfortable. He trusted Xia Xue’s taste; this small British style was subtle and aligned with his understated personality, neither too flashy nor vulgar.
"Oh, Young Master Xiao is here too?" The door to another fitting room opened, and a man erged, smiling at Xiao Lin like a blooming flower.
"Brother Luo!"
"Long ti no see!" Secretary Luo adjusted his tie, glancing at Xiao Lin’s attire from ti to ti. "Picked by Xia Xue?"
"I’m eting Xia Yusheng today." The collar felt cumberso, Xiao Lin pondered whether to remove it.
"Elder Xia has been asking about you lately; when will you stop by?" The staff retreated to the outer hall, giving the two so privacy. "The Xia family is truly unmatched in the service industry."
"I will visit Uncle Hua, but I’ll tie up so loose ends first before going." Eventually, he decided to remove the necktie, loosening two buttons on his shirt, then the coat buttons one by one. A flawlessly British style was turned into sothing quirky.
"Didn’t Xia Xue co with you?"
"She’s present; it’s hard to discuss so matters."
"The Wang Family has been unusually quiet lately. You should keep an eye on them," Secretary Luo advised while changing clothes. Sotis too much silence is suspicious.
"Alright, Brother Luo, I’ll head out first. Please send my regards to Uncle Hua."
"No problem."
Xiao Lin was a punctual person. Although he wanted to glean more insights from Secretary Luo that could crucially impact the Xia Family’s future, the clock on the wall indicated he was running late.
