Chapter 1698: Chapter 1699: Distinguished Guest

Among the celebrities Jian Yao had seen, her fame was average. She wasn’t a top-tier star, just a newcomer in the entertainment circle, barely considered a fourth or fifth-tier artist. She couldn’t understand what the manager was bragging about?

Don’t they know their brand’s relationship with the fashion circle is very strong, and their status is not ordinary. Even top-tier stars have to be polite when consuming at their store; offending their brand could easily lead to a fashion circle boycott.

The manager was quite angry, clutching his chest, and said indignantly, “Didn’t you just say the director went to attend to distinguished guests, and now you’re saying you treat every customer equally. Are you playing us?”

“Our Jian Yao was introduced by your board director, isn’t she a distinguished guest?”

Jian Yao had just felt humiliated by the staff’s words ‘seen enough celebrities’, and now somewhat regained some composure, pulling out her phone with a stern face, “I’ll call the director to ask if I’m not allowed to shop here anymore.”

The staff had never encountered someone so persistently difficult, and unwillingly had to lower her head to explain, “Miss Jian, I never said you couldn’t buy clothes here. As a friend of the director, of course you’re welcome to buy clothes from us. But asking me to bring the director over to you is really too difficult for me.”

“Ha, we’re making things difficult for you? We just asked you to check when the director would be over. It’s you who told us we’re not distinguished guests, and now you’re apologizing. I’m just curious who your distinguished guests really are, everyone is a customer, how distinguished can she be?” The manager was arrogant and domineering.

Just then, the director heard the commotion inside and brought Rong Yan over. Seeing the tense atmosphere among the three, he unhappily asked, “Why are you causing a ruckus in the store?”

The staff tremblingly lowered her head to explain, “I’m sorry, Director. Miss Jian Yao and her manager insisted on seeing you. I said you were attending to distinguished guests, and I couldn’t disturb you. They thought I was deliberately brushing them off, so they got angry.”

As she finished speaking, the director’s face was already dark.

Jian Yao and her manager turned green upon seeing Rong Yan following behind him. Especially Jian Yao, whose reaction was particularly exaggerated, standing up abruptly from the booth like a mouse seeing a cat, clutching her purse tightly, face full of panic.

Her manager, older and slightly more composed, restrained herself to greet Rong Yan in a low voice, “Mr. Rong, what a surprise to run into you here. Sorry, we didn’t know the distinguished guest they mentioned was you. We simply argued with her because of her condescending attitude, not knowing if we caused you any inconvenience, really sorry.”

Her apology was swift and she could pull a long face; the director was originally very displeased with them causing trouble in the store, but was surprised at her words and looked towards Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, you know them?”

Rong Yan had a general impression of Jian Yao, especially after seeing her bully a cleaner at Chu Xi’s birthday party, which made her impression even worse. Hence, her response to their manager’s attempt to strike up a connection was very cold. Nodding and said, “Yes, I know them. Our company invested in a web drama they starred in before.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Those who can mix into a brand director position are very perceptive people. Hearing her explanation, he understood that Jian Yao and her manager were forcibly trying to establish connections.
