Chapter: 4538

Just then, the saleswoman brought out a tray filled with pendants and placed it in front of Ma Lan, saying politely, "This is our latest collection of pendants. There are many classic series you can look at."

Ma Lan nodded and pointed to one diamond pendant, asking, "How much does this one cost?"

The saleswoman glanced at the price tag and said, "Madam, the pendant you're interested in costs 118,800. It's an 18K gold pendant with a South African diamond necklace. Although it's a small stone, the cut is very perfect, so it shines beautifully when worn."

A price of over 110,000 yuan was exactly what Ma Lan had in mind.

In the end, Ye Chen and Xiao Chu initially left her with 500,000 yuan in spare cash. If she were to buy a too-expensive necklace, it would take up too much of her budget, which would have an impact on her future lifestyle consumption.

A price range of around 100,000 yuan is very friendly for her current financial situation. After buying the necklace, there would still be enough money left for her to splurge when Ye Chen returns.

So, she told the saleswoman: "Come, help me try it on and see how it looks."

The saleswoman was about to help Ma Lan put on the necklace when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated and started ringing. It was a call from the store's manager, who is also her supervisor.

She apologized to Ma Lan and said: "Madam, please wait a moment while I take this call."

Ma Lan entered the high-end store and her quality also rose a few notches, saying comfortably: "No need to hurry, go ahead and answer it."

The saleswoman took the phone and walked away, listening to the manager's instructions on the other end: "Little Liu, make sure you try your best to get that woman to spend more money. If she spends 300,000 yuan at our store, reward her with 50,000 yuan. If she spends 500,000 yuan, reward her with 100,000 yuan!"

The saleswoman couldn't help but secretly glance at Ma Lan when she heard this, although she didn't know why the manager was so concerned about this woman. She also sensed that it was a good opportunity to earn money, and so she whispered: "Don't worry, I understand."

After finishing her call, she hung up the phone and walked over to Ma Lan's side, smiling and saying: "Madam, come, let me help you try it on!"

Ma Lan nodded, and with the saleswoman's assistance, she put on the necklace and stared at herself in the mirror.

This big brand's jewelry wants to say that it's not very cost-effective, that's for sure. The 18k gold chain itself isn't worth much money, and the pendants are also made of low-cost materials. Adding up the two, it's probably just enough to cover the selling price.

However, Ma Lan values it not because of cost-effectiveness, but because of face value.

What is referred to as cost-effectiveness is the ratio between the performance and price of a product, with the same price, the better the performance, the better. On the other hand, what is referred to as face value is the ratio between the appearance and price of a product, with the same price, the higher the appearance, the more important it is, even if a plain cotton T-shirt that costs less than 100 yuan can be sold for 8,000 yuan as long as the brand logo on the chest has enough face value.

Ma Lan scrutinized it for a while and found that this necklace indeed flashed brightly. Under the lighting in the jewelry store, almost every angle seemed to radiate a dazzling glint.

Her heart beating with excitement, she almost immediately opened her mouth and said, "I'll take this one, wrap it up for me!"

The saleswoman couldn't help but say at this point, "Ma'am, I'm saying something from my heart. I feel like this necklace doesn't match your taste."

"What do you mean?" Ma Lan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying I don't suit such a luxurious necklace?"

The saleswoman hastened to wave her hand and said, "No, no! I didn't mean that! As soon as you walked in, I noticed the noble aura about you. To be honest, I've worked at Tiffany & Co for many years, and I've never seen a customer with such a refined taste like yours."

The other party's sudden flattery immediately struck Ma Lan on cloud nine.

Ma Lan smiled and said, "Wow, you're really good at talking! Although I'm getting on in years, my temperament is still not bad, but it's hard to compare with those young stars..."

The saleswoman hurriedly said, "You're being too modest! You have more elegance than many 20-something female celebrities I've seen." JrNovels.com
