Su Qi smiled brightly, "What are you still gawking for? Don't you want to go to work anymore? If you don't want to do it, just resign and leave!"
A sales associate next to her pinched the arm of the sales associate in question. The latter, in pain, finally snapped back to reality.
Though a million times unwilling and resentful, she could only take the clothes and step forward to show them to Su Qi.
The store had hundreds of new arrivals and thousands of styles. If she were to show them to Su Qi one by one, when would it ever end?
The sales associate was reluctant. The manager shot her a fierce glare, "Stop dawdling! Do you still want this job?! Is this the attitude you have towards customers?
The store pays you a salary not to look down on customers! It's to serve customers! Understand your own status! Your current monthly salary can't even buy the scraps from one piece of clothing! Read books!
The manager wasn't just scolding her; he was scolding for Su Qi to see.
After receiving the call, he immediately understood the entire situation.
This sales associate had a wealthy patron who bought a lot of clothes every month, making her the top salesperson in the store. She was arrogant when serving customers, looking down on anyone who dressed modestly. Due to her poor attitude, she was often complained about.
However, the manager hadn't fired her because her sales were supported by her patron.
He just hadn't expected this sales associate to offend someone, and of all people, the young mistress of the Huo family.
This young mistress of the Huo family, relying on her five months of pregnancy, had caused a scene at the engagement banquet, successfully causing a famous actress to fall from grace and be blacklisted, securing her position as the young mistress of the Huo family. It could be said she was elevated by her child. Given Huo Tingyun's status and position, as long as she didn't break the law, she could do as she pleased in Shenzhen.
It wasn't terrifying to offend one woman, but it was terrifying to offend Huo Tingyun's woman!
A casual word in his ear could lead to this snobbish sales associate suffering along with him.
The manager was adaptable. As long as Su Qi wasn't angry, he would even have the sales associate kneel to display the clothes today.
The sales associate's eyes reddened with grievance.
Why was she being scolded?
What had she said wrong?
She came to shop dressed so shabbily, and she wasn't even allowed to look down on her?
Who knew she was the young mistress of the Huo family?
How could the young mistress of the Huo family be dressed so poorly?
The sales associate was full of resentment but dared not speak out. She reluctantly showed the clothes to Su Qi.
One after another, Su Qi found fault with every single one. She didn't stop, not even looking up, just telling the sales associate to display them one by one.
The sales associate understood perfectly that Su Qi was doing this deliberately to spite her, to get revenge. She was already full of grievances, and after trying on so many clothes, her resentment and anger only grew.
"I'm not looking anymore. Please pack everything I tried on just now. Thank you!"
Su Qi's seemingly polite thank you was actually filled with provocation and sarcasm. Just as the sales associate had mocked her, she smiled slightly at the sales associate, handed a platinum card to the manager, and left the store after the payment, without waiting for the items to be packed.
"So what if she has a bit of money, what's so great about it!"
The sales associate was on the verge of tears. Thinking of Su Qi's sarcasm that she couldn't retort to, she was so angry she burst into tears.
The other sales associates looked at her with sighs.
Because she had a wealthy patron, the sales associate had been very arrogant in the store.
Karma comes around, and finally, someone dealt with her.
Although the other sales associates didn't show it, they were all secretly chuckling in their hearts.
Mr. Lin's car was already parked outside the entrance.
"Young Mistress, you bought so much."
Mr. Lin looked at the boxes of clothes being carried out of the store, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
Su Qi curled her lips, a hint of vengeful satisfaction in her eyes.
"It's just your husband's hourly wage, not expensive!"
Mr. Lin corrected, "It's not expensive, but it's just our husband's per-second wage."
Per-second wage?
Was she kidding?
No wonder Huo Tingyun looked down on people and was cold and indifferent to everyone.
If she had so much money, she would also act like Huo Tingyun and do as she pleased!
Upon returning to the Huo family's old mansion, it was already dinner time. Huo Tingyun was still in a meeting and hadn't returned. Su Qi washed her hands and prepared to eat. As soon as she entered the bathroom, her phone rang.
"Long time no see, hope you've been well. It seems you've been doing quite well lately!"
Sheng Yuchen's smiling voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Long time no see. What conditions do you want to discuss this time?"
Su Qi asked directly.
"Don't put it so harshly, Xiao Su. You know I don't want anything. I just genuinely want to help you..."
Hypocritical!
It turned out that in this world, there were people even more hypocritical than Huo Tingyun.
"Speak, what do you want?"
"Huo family's subsidiary... I want to be the general manager."
Su Qi had overheard Qin Xue asking Huo Tingyun about the Huo family's new subsidiary at dinner. Su Qi wasn't very interested in company matters, but she perked up her ears because she had also started a company recently.
That subsidiary was the company with the largest investment from Shengshi Group this year, responsible for expanding into new markets. Su Qi hadn't listened carefully to the specifics, only knowing that this company was currently the most heavily invested company under Shengshi Group.
She hadn't expected Sheng Yuchen to make such a bold request, asking for the general manager position of the subsidiary.
Su Qi felt helpless, "I really want to help you! But the decision-making power isn't with me. I have no real authority; everything is decided by Huo Tingyun!"
Sheng Yuchen's mother was Sheng Yuxue.
It was evident that Huo Qingrang doted on Sheng Yuxue. If Sheng Yuxue were to say a few words, wouldn't it be a simple matter?
Why would Sheng Yuchen think that asking her would be more effective than asking Huo Qingrang?
It was too ridiculous!
Huo Qingrang was Huo Tingyun's biological father, what was she?
A breeding machine?
An unknown person!
"As long as you ask, Huo Tingyun will definitely agree."
Sheng Yuchen wasn't angered, he continued to say with a smile.
Su Qi said coldly, "You're thinking too much! I can't help. Huo Tingyun will absolutely not agree to my request. He has no feelings for me, let alone..."
Sheng Yuchen seemed to hear something amusing, "No feelings? If Huo Tingyun had no feelings for you, then in the previous car accident, none of the masterminds behind it survived. Everyone involved in that incident has completely disappeared from this world. Do you think Huo Tingyun couldn't find out who did it? Do you think the police simply closed the case as an accident?"
Su Qi, you are too naive!
Huo Tingyun, this man, was as deep as an ocean a hundred billion meters deep, boundless and unfathomable.
Even after observing Huo Tingyun for so many years, he hadn't glimpsed even a corner of the iceberg.
But Su Qi was very different.
Su Qi was Huo Tingyun's only weakness.
As for why, he couldn't describe it.
As a man, he understood men too well.
