“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” The manager asked hurriedly.
“They’re gossiping behind our backs!” Xiao Yun fumed. “I’ll file a complaint against you!”
“Hurry up and apologize!” The store manager scolded the shop assistants.
The two shop assistants hastily bowed, but Xiao Yun refused to let the matter go and stated, “What’s the use of apologizing? I don’t care even if you kneel and kowtow right now! Manager, you have to fire them! Otherwise, we’ll cancel the orders we made at your store!”
The store manager’s expression darkened, and she coldly told the shop assistants, “You two, go to the office to settle your salaries!”
The two shop assistants panicked. “Manager, it was a mistake. We won’t do it again!”
The manager gave them a meaningful look. They immediately rushed to Yun Liu and apologized, “Miss Yun, we’re sorry. We were wrong. We shouldn’t have spoken ill of you behind your back. We’re very sorry!”
Yun Liu lowered her head slightly and put down the dress in her hand. One of the shop assistants quickly said, “Miss Yun, please forgive us. We really didn’t mean it.”
“Yeah, Miss Yun. You’re prettier, more elegant, and more skilled in acting than Shi Xiu. We had no sense and were talking rubbish. Please forgive us!” the two shop assistants begged.
The store manager hesitated for a moment and then spoke, “Miss Yun, they’ve only just started working here and haven’t learned their manners… Please don’t be angry with them.”
“You know they’re ill-mannered, yet you still let them work in your store?” Xiao Yun coldly questioned. “Miss Yun isn’t someone you can talk about. How dare you compare Miss Yun with Shi Xiu! She doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Miss Yun! Hmph!”
Yun Liu placed the clothes she was holding on the counter. She had already lost interest in buying anything.
“Pfft.” A soft snicker came from the VIP fitting room at the side. Shi Xiu pushed the fitting room curtain aside and walked out, followed by the store’s regional manager with a gloomy face.
“What happened, Yun Liu? Why are you so angry?” Shi Xiu asked, voice crisp and pleasant, and Yun Liu’s expression changed.
When the store manager saw the regional manager, her expression paled, and she glared at the shop assistants. She’d been busy rearranging their products and hadn’t noticed the regional manager’s arrival, and the two shop assistants might as well be blind. They didn’t recognize the regional manager and didn’t mention that Shi Xiu was trying on clothes in the store even after Yun Liu came in. ‘Great. Now everyone’s here. I’m so dead,’ she thought.
Xiao Yun was also dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Shi Xiu to be so despicable as to eavesdrop. ‘How am I supposed to explain this? she silently worried.
Yun Liu chuckled, “Shi Xiu, what a coincidence. Are you also here picking out clothes?”
Shi Xiu smiled and replied, “That’s right. If it weren’t for this coincidence, I wouldn’t have been able to witness such an exciting show. You have quite the assistant there. She’s very loyal. You should give her a raise, Yun Liu!”
Xiao Yun quietly retreated. Yun Liu laughed and said, “Don’t mind them, Shi Xiu. They’re just a bunch of ignorant girls. Why don’t we go and have a drink together?”
“Have a drink with you?” Shi Xiu widened her eyes and remarked, “Don’t be ridiculous, Yun Liu. I don’t deserve such a privilege. Isn’t that right, Miss Assistant?”
At this moment, Xiao Yun wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. Shi Xiu turned to the regional manager and instructed, “Manager Wang, please wrap up my clothes and deliver them to my home.”
“Yes, Miss Shi,” the regional manager quickly responded without looking at the two shop assistants.
Shi Xiu sighed and told the two trembling shop assistants, “You guys are out of order. How can you talk about your guests behind their backs? You even compared your guests to each other! How impolite! Moreover, it could easily hurt your customers’ fragile hearts! Now look, you’ve caused trouble for yourselves, haven’t you? It’s not easy to find a job! Losing your job over such a small matter isn’t worth it!”
She turned to the regional manager and stated, “You can deal with this accordingly. I don’t think you need to fire them, do you?”
The regional manager lowly concurred, “Yes.”
Shi Xiu then smiled and looked at Yun Liu. “I know you’re a magnanimous person, Yun Liu. You won’t be so unforgiving over such a small matter, will you? That doesn’t suit your character! Isn’t that right?”
She continued, “When it comes down to it, this whole thing started because of me. I can’t bear to let these two young ladies lose their jobs because of this. I’ll tell you what; I’ll pay for the clothes Yun Liu took a fancy to. Manager Wang, help me pack them and send them to Miss Yun’s company. I have a job I need to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now. Bye!”
Shi Xiu walked out of the door with a smile on her face. Two men who looked like they were strolling around immediately followed her. They were the Shi family’s bodyguards..
