Zhao Tao, who was standing in front of the counter, was hesitant. He really didn't know what to buy for his parents.
Tobacco and alcohol were really unhealthy, and traditional health supplements didn't have much effect. Under the current medical conditions, the longest human life expectancy had been extended to 130 years, and there was almost no disease that couldn't be cured.
Traditional health supplements still had a market, except for the special taste. After all, they were all natural and non-synthetic things. Rather than getting sick and going to treatment, it was better to take good care of the body.
No artificial organs or implants were as good as the original parts.
Therefore, the price was also relatively high.
He put a cigarette in his mouth and walked around the high-end gift shop. When he was about to light it, he was stopped by the shop assistant.
"Sir, we don't allow smoking here." The female shop assistant had a professional smile and glanced at the cigarette box in Zhao Tao's hand.
30 yuan Tarzan?
The customers who came to this kind of high-end gift shop were usually rich and overbearing. The customers who drove here all had cars that were worth more than a million, and they had a driver. Not to mention the luxuries they wore, even the cigarettes they smoked were the best natural tobacco in the Central State Empire, similar to Tianxia.
Zhao Tao, on the other hand, came in a rental aircraft. He didn't have any valuable items on him. He was dressed sloppily, and the luggage and backpack he carried with him weren't branded either. He didn't look like he was rich.
How dare he come here with such a low level of spending?
Judging from the way this person was looking around, he was probably looking for the cheapest item he could afford, right?
"Oh, sorry." Zhao Tao also smiled and put away the cigarette box.
"I haven't been home for a long time. I want to buy something for my parents, but I really don't know what to buy. Do you have any recommendations for me?"
The shop assistant smiled, but she cursed in her heart.
There were usually not many people in the shop, and all the customers were VIPs. As long as she opened a big order every month, she would have a guaranteed salary for this month.
When she heard the automatic door open, the shop assistant was full of joy. She thought that she finally had business, but she didn't expect that it was such a person who came in.
Due to the demand for commission, when a customer asked the shop assistant to recommend something, the shop assistant would definitely choose the most expensive item to recommend.
"If I recommend something to you, will you be able to afford it?" With a smile on her face, she couldn't say it out loud.
No matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat.
In order to avoid embarrassment, the sales director usually didn't call this kind of person as poor, but as price-resistant consumers.
This kind of person usually came here for the sake of face, and would casually find something cheap to fool the customers.

"Oh, now that you mention it … My father likes to drink tea, and my mother has a problem with dizziness and anemia, which has never been cured." Zhao Tao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized something.
He hadn't been home for three years and hadn't spoken to his parents for three years. He didn't even remember their habits. He was really unfilial.
The shop assistant clicked on the glass above the counter, and the browsing system was instantly displayed on the flat glass. Through the form of a chart, the products and prices were categorized. Without thinking, she directly found the cheapest tea in ascending order.
"Sir, our tea is the most convenient … the most affordable is this, Taishan Maojian. We only produce three kilograms a year, and 100 grams costs 998 dollars. How much do you want?"
The shop assistant grabbed the display on the counter, and the camera immediately began to play a holographic video above the counter.
From picking, to production, to branding, every step was displayed vividly in front of Zhao Tao.
Only high-end gift shops like this would have this kind of display function. Ordinary small shops didn't have it.
In fact, no matter what industry in the Chūshū Empire, as long as it was a place where commercial activities were carried out, most of them were achieved by robots or artificial intelligence. There were no human shop assistants, but in high-end consumer places, there would still be people providing service, in the name of feeling the warmth of service.
Zhao Tao experienced it firsthand today.
It wasn't until he saw the price that Zhao Tao realized that the shop assistant thought of him as poor.
But he couldn't blame others.
In the afternoon after his mission, he went back to the Armed Forces Department and retrieved his suitcase. Then, he went into standby mode for his vacation. On his way home, he passed by this place and remembered that he wanted to buy something for his parents, so he went straight in.
Because he was too anxious, he didn't even take a shower and change his clothes. When he checked the survival status of the target, there was a little blood stain on the cuff of his jacket. Fortunately, it wasn't easy to notice.
This suitcase only contained a set of military uniform, a few documents, some clothes, and necessities.
As for the equipment used for the mission, it had already been handed over to Sim Su-lien. He only kept his pistol, communicator, and contact lenses.
No wonder she looked down on him!
In fact, in this kind of situation, dressing appropriately was also a kind of respect.
"How about this, give me a catty of the most expensive tea, and two boxes of the best donkey-hide gelatin.
Hurry up, I'm in a bit of a hurry. Use a black bag. "Zhao Tao didn't make things difficult for the shop assistant. He wanted to go home before dinner and surprise his parents.
The shop assistant was stunned for a moment, then she was ecstatic and quickly nodded. When she placed the order on the glass panel, her hands were still shaking.
Who the hell is this person?
How can he be richer than those big bosses?
It seems that this month's commission salary will double!
While placing the order, the young shop assistant also peeked at Zhao Tao. She felt that this person looked okay … Sigh, what kind of crooked thoughts are you having!
How can he like me!
On the side, Zhao Tao was staring at the street outside in a daze. He hadn't been back for three years, and Binhai City had developed so well after the war.
He had no idea that the shop assistant had already spent a happy and rich life with him. He didn't care about what others thought.
All the gifts were prepared and packed in a black bag according to Zhao Tao's request. Zhao Tao was satisfied, and the shop assistant had already become respectful. She even touched up her makeup while preparing the gifts!
