Shen Ci really hadn't been getting enough sleep. Lately, she didn't know what was wrong with her; no matter what time she went to bed at night, she would wake up at six in the morning.

So I try to catch up on sleep whenever I have a spare moment each day, otherwise I feel groggy and listless all day.

Shen Ci slept until almost noon again, having forgotten to silence her phone. She was woken up by a series of WeChat message notifications.

In a daze, she picked it up and glanced at it. It was a bunch of pictures of the new autumn collection sent to her by a "LV" salesperson: "Ms. Shen, our brand's new autumn collection has arrived. Do you see anything you like? I can reserve it for you in advance."

"Or you can come to the store to choose something if you have time today. I'll be here all day."

Shen Ci paused for a moment, holding her phone, and instead of replying to the messages, she opened the pictures sent by the salesperson and started looking at them.

Some of the new items are quite nice; they're things she likes and suit her well.

After a while, she peeked into the dormitory and found that she was alone. So she asked in the group chat with the three roommates, "Where did you guys go? I want to go to SKP, do you want to come?"

Gu Lianxing quickly replied, "Honey, you're awake? Pili and I are strolling around Yongquan. Shall we meet at SKP?"

Shen Ci replied with an "OK" gesture after seeing the message, then greeted the salesperson and told them she would be going to the store later before getting out of bed to wash up.

After taking a taxi to SKP, Shen Ci went to "LV" first, since Gu Lianxing and Pili hadn't arrived yet.

"Miss Shen, you've arrived."

The salesman had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Shen Ci, he came out to greet him from afar.

Shen Ci nodded with a smile: "I hope this hasn't interfered with your lunch break?"

Upon hearing this, the salesman smiled and said, "We work in shifts, so there's no lunch break. Ms. Shen, please come in."

Perhaps because the new autumn products had just arrived, each salesperson reserved their quota for their big clients in advance, so there were still quite a few people in the store at this time, and almost all the salespeople were serving customers, with no one idle.

"They arrived early yesterday morning. We worked overtime until 3 a.m. to sort the goods. All styles, models, and sizes are available. I quickly sent you a message so you could choose first, since our sales staff has a limited number of slots, as you know."

Many of the new seasonal collections from luxury brands are limited editions, and the number of available items that can be sold to sales staff is extremely limited. Generally, only the top sales performers and top sales representatives in each store can obtain limited edition items for their customers.

Even non-limited editions have popular colors and models, but the quantity is limited, so sales staff get even fewer. Therefore, they will prioritize reserving them for their major clients to maintain customer loyalty.

So what the salesman said wasn't just flattery or politeness; it was all true.

Shen Ci smiled and nodded. The salesperson was thinking of her, and she certainly wouldn't let them down, so she generously said, "I saw the pictures you sent me, and I quite like several of them."

The salesman beamed with delight: "The actual product looks even better. Ms. Shen, please take a short rest in the sofa area. There are quite a few customers today, and the VIP room has a queue. Shall we skip the wait?"

Shen Ci nodded: "It's okay, let's stay here."

"Okay, I'll go get everything. You can choose what you like here."

Individual customers browse the store on their own, with sales staff following them around.

Those browsing in the sofa area are all big customers. Although Shen Ci has only shopped at "LV" three or five times, the sales staff have a deep impression of her shopping style. She buys luxury goods just like she buys daily necessities, without even blinking an eye.

She never asks about the price as long as she likes it.

Before long, the salesperson made several trips back and forth, filling the table in front of Shen Ci to the brim.

The new products include bags, clothes, scarves, accessories, and more.

"Ms. Shen, look, this is pretty much it. If you want different colors or models, just let me know and I'll get them for you." The salesman knelt down beside the sofa to serve her.

"Let's take out the limited edition items separately first," Shen Ci said.

“No problem. This ‘Crescent Moon Bag’ is a limited edition from the brand’s autumn collection, especially the ‘Crescent White’ colorway, which was incredibly popular. It was released in Europe a week earlier than in China, and it sold out within three days. There were only 56 available in China, 12 in Longcheng, and I only have one.”

The more detailed his explanation, the rarer the bag became, and the happier the customer would be.

However, Shen Ci felt that the bag was just so-so. Although it was a limited edition, she wasn't particularly fond of its crescent-shaped design.

The crescent white color scheme is indeed quite beautiful.

Even if she didn't feel much of a connection, since the salesperson had specifically reserved it for her and it was a rare limited edition, she was definitely going to keep it.

Aesthetic tastes are always fleeting; you never know when you might like something, so just buy it first.

"Thank you, please wrap it up." Shen Ci nodded generously, still without asking the price.

The salesperson then picked up a ready-to-wear jacket and a denim mini-skirt: "Ms. Shen, these two are also limited editions, a collaboration with the famous designer 'Tiven Chelsea.' They're your size. The skirt only comes in this color, and the jacket is available in white, but I remember you prefer black."

She's very meticulous; otherwise, she wouldn't be the top salesperson.

Shen Ci also appreciates this thoughtful sales approach; it makes buying things much easier because the salesperson can remember all your preferences.

"I'll take you to the fitting room so you can try it on."

Shen Cixin nodded and got up to follow the salesperson to the fitting room, but she didn't notice that a man in the rest area behind her was secretly taking pictures of her back with his phone.

Behind the man, Shen Yuzhen was communicating with a salesperson.

"I'm sorry, miss, the bag you requested is really out of stock."

The saleswoman looked apologetic at Shen Yuzhen.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuzhen calmly replied, "Isn't it only released in China today? Can you get it from another city? I can wait. You can also check my membership information; I'm your 'top-tier member,' and I've always made my purchases in Europe."

The saleswoman still had an apologetic smile: "I'm so sorry, but because there are only a limited number of these bags available in China, we're out of stock. Would you like to look at some other new styles?"

Shen Yuzhen sighed helplessly. She didn't think the salesperson was lying to her. After all, as a top-level member, she knew how sought-after limited editions were.

If she hadn't been on a plane and missed the news of the European release, she would have bought it immediately.

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't have it."

Shen Yuzhen didn't make things difficult for the salesperson. She was just about to leave with some disappointment when she saw the man sitting on the sofa in front of her holding a phone and recording a video.

The person in his shot was Shen Ci, who had just changed into a bodycon mini skirt and was checking the effect in front of the mirror!
