My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 352 - 3 Foreign Guests_2

Han Xinyu had just had her first menstruation recently and had been running a low fever, which prevented her from attending classes. She had to take leave and rest at home. With Zheng Cuicui and Han Shouxin busy, they sent her over to stay.

"Little Aunt," Han Xinyu called out with a hint of irritation, "Mrs. Yu was dressing Little Sun and the others. Little Spring Breeze woke up first and couldn’t stay put, so he ran out, and I followed to keep an eye on him. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, he would manage to kill the little shrimp."

"Little Spring Breeze doesn’t understand, Nuonuo, don’t be angry. Just explain it to him nicely." Seeing that the little girl cared so much, Lin Xiaoguai reached out and patted her head.

Facing Lin Xiaoguai’s warm smile, Han Xinyu blushed slightly and said, "I’m not angry."

"Alright, let’s go back. Are there any customers in the store?" Lin Xiaoguai picked up Little Spring Breeze and walked back to the store with Han Xinyu.

Han Xinyu glanced reluctantly at the lively scene of tree planting; she really wanted to help, but her head still felt a bit dizzy. She didn’t want to worry the adults.

Back in the store, the other three little ones were lying on the sofa playing with their fingers. Seeing Lin Xiaoguai return, they all showed smiles and started climbing up to pounce on her.

Lin Xiaoguai managed to calm them and then asked Mrs. Yu, "Have you fed them snacks?"

"Not yet," Mrs. Yu shook her head, "We’re waiting for the third master to come back."

"Then hurry up and feed them the snacks."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu nodded and went to the small kitchen to bring out a big bowl of corn paste, which Lin Xiaoguai took over to feed the children.

However, halfway through feeding, a customer suddenly entered the store. Lin Xiaoguai had to hand the bowl of corn paste to Mrs. Yu and walked out, lifting the bead curtain.

"Do you have any diamond necklaces here?" A middle-aged foreign woman with brown hair and blue eyes asked in broken Chinese.

Lin Xiaoguai was surprised that a foreign woman had come and even more surprised that she was interested in a diamond necklace. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Please, follow me."

She definitely had diamond pieces, but considering that diamonds weren’t yet popular in China, she hadn’t displayed them in the showcase.

Jenny Ackerman slowly realized that Lin Xiaoguai had given her a positive reply. She followed with an excited expression.

Lin Xiaoguai returned to the counter, pretending to take out several necklaces from underneath, and said softly, "These are the diamond necklaces I have available in my store. Take your time looking, ma’am."

Jenny Ackerman was in shock, not only because this Chinese store actually had diamond necklaces but also because these necklaces were just as good as those she had seen in the United States.

Moreover, in terms of design, they were very distinctive and beautiful.

"How many carats are the diamonds on this one?" She pointed to a necklace, asking excitedly.

"5.3 carats," Lin Xiaoguai glanced at the necklace and accurately stated the weight of the diamonds just by looking.

"And the price..."

Lin Xiaoguai pondered for a moment, "1.5 million RMB."

Jenny Ackerman’s eyes widened, "You’re extorting me!"

"No, ma’am," Lin Xiaoguai gently shook her head, "You should be aware that if this diamond necklace were in the United States and appeared at an auction, it would sell for at least two million US dollars."

A 5.3-carat diamond wasn’t much to her; if a compatriot came to buy, she would at most ask for one hundred thousand RMB. It wasn’t that she wanted to extort this foreign woman, rather, she didn’t want to give her an unearned bargain.

She admitted, being an old-fashioned stalwart of the past era, she wasn’t particularly fond of foreigners. Although she wouldn’t target them outright, she wouldn’t let them take advantage of pricing differences between China and abroad to get a bargain here.

Lin Xiaoguai indulged in a rare act of willfulness.

"You, you..." Jenny Ackerman wanted to argue but could only struggle in vain due to the language barrier.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled, "Ma’am, diamonds aren’t popular as jewelry in China yet. Shouldn’t we conduct business according to the prices in your country?"

These days, foreigners considered Chinese easy marks, getting a bargain and then derogatorily calling them unsophisticated. She wasn’t about to indulge them.

She didn’t believe her actions were excessive; with the price she quoted, this foreign woman could turn around and sell the necklace back in her country to make nearly a million US dollars profit.

Realizing she had no intention of changing her mind, Jenny Ackerman was somewhat angry but helpless. Especially since the diamond necklace was too rare to give up on.

She said despondently, "Alright then, please wrap that necklace for me and..." Her gaze swept over the remaining few diamond necklaces, pointing to one inlaid with small diamonds and a flower-shaped pendant made of several rhombus-shaped pink diamonds, "How much is this necklace?"

Her visit was to buy a diamond necklace for her daughter who had just come of age. The previous one was more suited for a powerful lady, but this one was perfect for a young girl.

"For you, 200 thousand RMB," Lin Xiaoguai said with a beaming smile.

Jenny Ackerman was suddenly frustrated, hoping to get a cheaper deal on this necklace, but the female shop owner was tough to negotiate with.

She lowered her head to pull out a check from her bag, filled it out for 1.7 million RMB, and handed it over to Lin Xiaoguai reluctantly.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled as she took the check, verifying its authenticity with the store’s smart management system, then quickly issued an invoice and packaged the two diamond necklaces.

Seeing the two exquisite gift bags, some of Jenny Ackerman’s frustration dissipated.

"Welcome to visit again."

Just as she listened to Lin Xiaoguai’s words behind her, her mood soured.

Who would want to visit this store again? No, the items in this store were so good; it was rare to find such a fine shop in China...

She was filled with turmoil, her whole face contorting. (To be continued... If you like this work, feel free to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
