The manager look at Yue Li Lian, He didn't saw that Li Lian came inside the store with Xiao Chen, so he didn't know that she came in with a rich person and still thought that Li Lian is poor.
" Miss, Can you please just let go of the clothes and give it to this lady ? " says the manager.
Although it seems as if he just wanted to resolve this by peace, he couldn't mask his arrogant attitude that look down on Li Lian
Li Lian snorts " So this is how your store works ? " ask her
" Huh? What do you mean ? " asked the manager acting all naive
Li Lian raises her eyebrow and speaks more loudly so the people at the store could hear it more clearly
" So this is how the famous Plum Store treats their customer ! A lady snatch my clothes that I was going to buy and the manager sided with the lady! "
Everyone on the store turns at the source of the voice and start murmuring
" Wow, I didn't know that this store treats customers this way! "
" Look at the girl, she was only buying her clothes, but the manager sided with the other lady just because she looks richer "
" That's awful! "
" Let's take a video and post it in the internet "
Li Lian heard the whispers while hiding her smile, everything move as she thought!
The manager's expression turns sour as he sees heard the other customer whispers. But he couldn't let Li Lian take the dress, after all, the other Luo Jang is rich and a patron of the store, so he need to please her.
" No, miss, you should now, the clothes that you are holding is very expensive." says the manager with a more higher tone.

" So are you saying that I look poor and couldn't afford to buy the clothes? " Ask Li Lian with a pitiful voice
Everyone on the store starts to side with Li lian
Luo Jang couldn't help but feel provoked by her words, and she chimed in
" Well you are not wrong, you are poor and you don't fit here." Her voice was full of arrogance as if she is the richest woman on the whole planet.
The more the other customer hear the manager and the lady words, they felt more disgusted with them and continues to side with Li Lian
" So if I have to look rich first before I could buy the dress? " ask Li Lian
" Even if you look rich you are still poor and couldn't afford it anyway ! " she snorts
" Miss you have not bought the clothes, so this lady could still take it . " answers the manager while backing the other Luo Jang.
" I have not bought it? Then, she also haven't, right? " ask Li Lian
The manager raises his brow when he heard Li Lian
Li Lian just walk past them and took the clothes away from the woman hand, she walks to the cashier
" Can You check this now? " Li Lian ask the girl at the cashier
The girl look at the manager waiting for a response. The manager just wave away, because he thought that Li Lian would not be able to afford it and would just embarrass herself anyway.
The girl scanned the price " 20.000 RMB" Says the girl with a weak voice, she saw Li Lian from the start and she knew that she is not wrong, but the price is too expensive for normal person, so she felt pity on Li Lian

But, unexpectedly, Li Lian pull a black card from her bag
" Can you use this? " says Li lian
The cashier girl shriek when she held the card. The black card can only be used by a few numbers of people and only extremely rich people can use this card.
The manager's and the Luo Jang's face turn paler when they see the card.
" Check if it's fake ! " says Luo Jang, she still tries to hide her nervous expression and still mock Li Lian
The manager went to the cashier and took the card he look at it for quite a long time before he swipe the black card to the machine
He speaks in a meeker voice and says: " It's real ."

Paradigm Shift - New Beginnings
The known universe is facing an invasion from a foe that can rewrite the natural laws and that will destroy everyting we know. Derrick is ripped from his world and sent to the newest incursion point of an enemy he doesn't even know exists. He is the hail mary or kitchen sink of the universe and it will be up to him to adapt to his new world and become strong enough to survive and to save the universe. ********* Author's Note ********* This is my first published book so feedback would be appreciated. A couple of caveats. First this story is about the details, if you don't enjoy reading and finding the easter eggs or just like to speed read through the chapters you will probably not enjoy it. Second for those that do not like the Harem tag I just want to state that this is going to be a matriarchal society and the women will outnumber the men 5-1. That being the case and because of the culture that I imagine would arise from this I felt it fair to put that tag out there. However, the main character isn't going to be picking up women left and right. This is not a typical harem story. Image was googled so I have no rights to it
