"Manager Xu." Zhang Shuyao was about to greet her, but was blown away when Manager Xu seemed not to notice her as she walked past her towards Han Qiqing.

She then saw the capable and experienced manager smile at Han Qiqing obsequiously and say, "Miss Han, it's been awhile since I Iast saw you. Welcome, Miss. I'm honored to be able to serve you."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shuyao's eyes widened in shock.

W-What kind of situation was this…

Manager Xu was one of the people responsible for managing Gucci goods in China. Many rich wives and heiresses had to curry favor with her in order to be the first one to purchase popular handbags.

Gucci had recently pushed out a new collection by a beautiful designer who had recently won an international design competition. The products in the collection were very sought after.

The bag that Zhang Shuyao wanted to buy was this designer's latest work. There were only a thousand limited pieces in the world and there were countless people who were eager to buy it no matter what it took.

Zhang Shuyao only had the chance to buy it because she had spent a lot of effort and given Manager Xu a lot of money beforehand.

Han Qiqing walked over, an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao. Manager Xu looked like an attendant as she followed behind them, and she even ordered someone to prepare drinks and dessert for them.

"Miss Han, will mousse cake be alright?" Manager Xu asked.

Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao beside her and said, "Is there strawberry cake?"

"There is!" Manager Xu didn't even think before replying immediately.

Even if they didn't have any, she would get someone to buy one.

Zhang Shuyao still couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her lips twitched and she wondered if she were dreaming.

Was the Manager Xu before her really the one that she knew?

Had she been swapped out for someone else?

"Manager Xu, my bag…" Zhang Shuyao suppressed her anger and reminded the manager. She wanted to buy the bag first for there was a mysterious feeling striking her.

The feeling… felt like unease.

Unease?

Was that a joke? Since when had she, Zhang Shuyao, felt uneasy?

However, Manager Xu seemed to not hear her. She didn't even look at her, but kept her eyes on Han Qiqing and smiled.

Before long, a strawberry cake and some drinks arrived.

Manager Xu led Han Qiqing to sit down and even assisted them personally.

Zhang Shuyao and Wang Shiyu were standing to one side, looking as though they had been completely forgotten.

Just then, Han Qiqing opened her mouth, cocked an eyebrow, and said, "Manager, I'd like to know. What bag is Zhang Shuyao buying? Is it the one that's been flown over from Milan?"

Manager Xu smiled as she introduced the origin of the bag before saying, "Is Miss Han interested in looking at it? The bag is designed for younger girls and is suitable to be used by your demographic."

Han Qiqing glared at Zhang Shuyao and asked on purpose, "Oh? How many do you have? I don't like to carry the same things as other people."

"Currently, there is only one in the entire country," Manager Xu answered.

Zhang Shuyao's eyes widened when she heard this. She shouted, "I was first!"

"Have you paid?" Han Qiqing smiled as she asked.

Zhang Shuyao's face darkened. "Don't you know the term 'first come, first served'?"

"First come, first served?" This time, it was Mu Xiaoxiao who laughed. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
