Please improve the paragraph of a little story:

After passing through the bronze gate and taking a glance at the splendid selling items on the first floor, I reached the elevator and stepped into the second. Here there were just a few customers and the space looked a bit empty. Having walked dozens of steps, I noticed some people had emerged from the elevator. They were blondes, walking quietly toward my direction. Amazing, I caught the scene: those clerks just stood there, showing no enthusiasm to receive their foreign customers. What heck was that? I said to myself. With a curiosity, I asked, in Chinese language, one of the female clerks, "Why are you just standing and making no effort to sell your items to the foreigners?" She replied, "I don't know English. I will not understand them." Ah, that's it! I smiled:"It doesn't matter. Just smile and nod, showing your warm welcome to them and they will understand you. Making money makes sense."

@oristarA,
oolong is a tease. Her opaque wit won't help you with your English.
I do enjoy her posts though. Very Happy

@panzade,
I know that he teased me that I followed the girl home and take a peep into her.
Hmm, what a foul play he provoked!
Pan, you enjoyed at the expense of me, so you have to give the paragraph an editing to pay back. Smile

Don't forget ori, English is my second language so I'm not that good at editing.

=================

After passing through the bronze gate and taking a glance at the splendid [selling] items selling on the first floor, I reached the elevator and stepped [into] onto the second [floor??]. Here there were just a few customers and the space looked a bit empty.

Having walked dozens of steps, I noticed some people had emerged from the elevator. They were blondes, walking quietly [toward] my direction [or "towards me"].

Amazingly, I caught the scene: those clerks just stood there, showing no enthusiasm to receive their foreign customers. What the heck was that? I said to myself.

With a curiosity, I asked, in Chinese [language], one of the female clerks, "Why are you just standing and making no effort to sell your items to the foreigners?"

She replied, "I don't know English. I will not understand them." Ah, that's it! I smiled: "It doesn't matter. Just smile and nod, showing your warm welcome to them and they will understand you. Making money makes sense."
