Silence reigned in the pen shop. The lady stood with her mouth agape, having witnessed something incredible. Only Yan Hanxi showed any emotion outside of shock and awe. He had a faint smile, his eyes filled with profound respect.
There was no doubt the story had moved him.
“Adam’s son was interviewed, and this is what he said,” He Jing calmly added.
“If you don’t believe me, confirm it for yourselves.”
Zhou Xue’er could not accept He Jing’s imminent victory. She immediately took out her phone and searched for the interview He Jing mentioned.
The results dowsed her in cold water, chilling her heart.
It was all true…
He Jing had not made anything up.
The brand ambassador entered the official forums for ‘Les Elfes,’ entering her search into the archives that only employees could access. Eventually, she pulled out an article entitled ‘Le Cocon,’ corroborating He Jing’s story.
Much like the topic of same-sex couples, Adam’s story was not widely publicized. Only those who know what to look for would dig it up.
How did He Jing have such a deep understanding of the brand?
Cheng Yi paled, shaking her head in disbelief, “No. It can’t be true. It can’t be…”
Yet, despite her denial, she could not change the truth before her eyes. The gap between them gaped with the unforgiving jaws of a hungry chasm.
Yan Hanxi chuckled, his voice clear and pleasant, “Miss Merit Student, you’ve impressed me once again.”
He Jing always managed to defy his expectations, showing herself to be more outstanding than he could have imagined.
She was like a ray of light, illuminating his world.
One who has never seen the light will never know how dazzling it is.
The lady was convinced of He Jing’s victory and revealed a perfect smile. “Miss, your understanding of our brand leaves me humbled. I think it is clear who has won this challenge. Congratulations, this fountain pen is yours. I believe you will do right by the legacy of this pen and what could have been for Mrs Adam.”
Cheng Yi stared at the pen delivered to He Jing, chewing on her lower lip, aggrieved.
However, He Jing shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want this pen anymore. I’ll give it to the gold card customer.”
Cheng Yi stared at the pen delivered to He Jing, chewing on her lower lip,
aggrieved.
He Jing bowed slightly.”l chose it because of its price and appearance, not its story. After I shared the story, I realized I wasn’t a good fit for the pen. I’m sorry.”
The lady did not show any disdain upon hearing He Jing’s explanation. Instead, she said, “Miss, you’re very honest. I hope you’ll find one that will suit you.”
The lady packaged the pen nicely, wrapping it in a gift box and signing Cheng Yi’s name.
Cheng Yi clenched her fists, showing no affection for ‘Le Cocon.’
How could she want something that He Jing did not?
It was as good as being given leftover goods!
Cheng Yi did not want it either.
Unfortunately, she could not say ‘no,’ or she would be blacklisted for returning goods for no reason, not once, but twice. If that happened, she would never be able to buy anything from Les Elfes again.
Zhou Xue’er had hoped to see He Jing make a fool of herself; hence, she had called Cheng Yi, hoping she would cause trouble for the former. She did not expect Cheng Yi to be so useless, getting instantly killed by He Jing instead. Now, even she had lost some face.
Unable to stand the humiliation any longer, Zhou Xue’er snorted coldly and
left.
He Jing left the fountain pen shop with Yan Hanxi.
Only Cheng Yi remained. As she had exchanged her previous pen for ‘Le Cocon,’ she had to wait for the lady to issue a refund. The lady returned 190,000 yuan of the 200,000 her original, custom-made pen would have cost. Once again, the lady’s expression shifted to one with disdain..
