The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 478 - 475: Deeply in Love 6_1

Top-notch luxury goods should, by rights, be genuine. But in recent years, with counterfeits running rampant, this dubious practice has even been adopted by those catering to international customers. Consequently, many exclusive boutiques have started mixing high-quality replicas with authentic products. Of course, the primary victims are the wealthy and extravagant people of A Country.

Domestic exclusive boutiques are no different; some unscrupulous merchants also mix high-quality replicas with their genuine products.

It was precisely this situation that Yan Xixi leveraged. She decisively tackled the problem at its root by breaking the industry’s unwritten rules and establishing a very strict verification process: no matter how inexpensive the basic model a customer bought, they were guaranteed an upfront inspection. The staff meticulously guided customers through the entire process, ensuring they confirmed they were purchasing an authentic product.

Don’t underestimate this measure. As word spread, consumers, who are not fools, took notice. Some customers with a special fondness for bags became loyal repeat patrons, eagerly visiting whenever new models arrived. Some ladies even bought three or four bags in a single month.

Quality assurance, combined with excellent service, gradually stabilized the business.

"Xixi, when you first proposed a comprehensive, transparent inspection process, I felt uneasy. After all, it’s generally not good to break unwritten rules..."

Yan Xixi said dismissively, "Unwritten rules are meant to be broken, aren’t they? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be called unwritten rules."

"HA HA, it’s good that it’s broken! Now, our business is slowly improving. You know, a customer came the day before yesterday who said she once bought five bags overseas all at once. When she had them checked, four turned out to be high-quality replicas. Returning them was inconvenient and a lot of hassle; not returning them was a bitter pill to swallow. It was as if she was being played for a fool. She vowed never to shop overseas again and decided to buy exclusively from our store. Moreover, if there were items she wanted that we didn’t have, we could help her procure them; it was as simple as picking up an extra one when restocking. So, she introduced seven or eight people from her circle to buy from us."

As the two chatted, Yan Xixi also thoroughly reviewed the accounts for the recent period.

Xu Xiaoya asked quietly, "Are you still staying at the hotel?"

Yan Xixi smiled charmingly. "I’ve paid for a month, and there are still ten days left."

"There’s no one to take care of you at the hotel. How about I go home and make you some soup?"

"No need at all, HA HA, the hotel has food and drink; it’s great, isn’t it?"

"Don’t you get lonely? There’s no one there to talk to. Why don’t you come back and stay with me, Xixi? I’ll keep you company."

"No need. I find staying in a hotel super comfortable. I can’t let the money go to waste, especially since they don’t offer refunds."

Xu Xiaoya found it a bit strange. She had assumed Xixi must be miserable and lonely living alone in a hotel. But seeing her complexion looking better than ever, she wondered, Is it really that great to be so completely in one’s own world?

Of course, Yan Xixi didn’t tell her this was thanks to the "scruffy man."

With the "scruffy man" around, how could I be lonely? Not at all. He’s almost always with me.

"By the way, Xixi, has Wan Donglin contacted you?"

Wan Donglin?

I’d almost forgotten about him.

She shook her head. "He never contacted me."

Xu Xiaoya asked in disbelief, "Really? Wan Donglin came to the shop the day after you checked into the hotel!"

"What did he come for?"

Xu Xiaoya recounted what had happened that day, especially emphasizing the conversation between Wan Donglin and Huang Xiaojue’s father. Yan Xixi listened quietly, showing no reaction.
