Although Xia Linyu really didn't want to announce that she was about to take over the position.

Firstly, because she herself doesn't like to show off, and secondly, because until the very last moment of rising to power, anything can happen.

Both she and her father were of high moral character and knew the consequences of being too arrogant.

But for Lu Zheng, she would do anything without the slightest hesitation.

Now that someone is causing trouble for Mr. Lu, she definitely has to take action.

However, after Lu Zheng hung up the phone, the manager was still pretending, and said to Lu Zheng with a cold smile, "No, come here, give me the phone, let me call Miss Xia. I want to see if Miss Xia really agreed to help you? Heh, if she really helps you, let me hear it."

The few people who fawned over the manager also came out at this moment.

"Manager, don't listen to his pretense. We've seen plenty of people like him. It's a complete waste of time to talk to them."

"That's right, let's go, Manager, Young Master, Madam. It's hot outside, let's go inside and relax, enjoy the air conditioning, isn't that more comfortable? It's too tiring to waste time with them."

The manager nodded: "That's right. Anyway, Ms. Wu, I should have called you 'Big Sister,' but you humiliated yourself by following them, so I'll call you that now. Get out of here, understand?"

Turning his head, he adopted a fawning expression and said to Xia Ruo and Xu Yue, "Young Master Xia, Miss Xu, please tell me what kind of temperature you two prefer, and I'll have someone adjust it for you."

Xia Ruo said, "The temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. It has to be exactly that. Not a degree more or less."

Xia Ruoxi likes the cold; 25 degrees Celsius is hot for him, but he feels cold if the temperature is lower than that.

As for the managers, their air conditioning is usually set to 26 degrees Celsius. Now that the temperature is two degrees lower, it must be quite uncomfortable for them.

But without the slightest hesitation, he chuckled and said, "Okay."

"Simp!"

Lu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

The key is that they are shameless.

Others at least gain something by currying favor with the rich, but what about him? What good will come of currying favor with Xia Ruo?

Even if he really helped Xia Ruo humiliate them, would Xia Ruo thank him?

Won't!

Because Xia Ruo would naturally feel that this was a matter of course.

But he was still willing to try to please them.

As a manager, couldn't he see what kind of person Xia Ruo was?

Impossible!

So Lu Zheng really thought this manager was just a dog that only wagged its tail, which was ridiculously funny.

The manager wasn't hard of hearing; he heard what Lu Zheng said. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Zheng, saying, "You, what did you say?"

Just as Lu Zheng was about to answer him, the manager's phone rang first.

He had originally intended to continue his outburst, but upon seeing the number on his phone, his attitude immediately changed, and his face instantly became filled with fawning.

After the call connected, he quickly smiled and said, "Boss."

"You idiot, who told you to offend Mr. Lu? What the hell do I need you for? All you do is cause trouble, isn't that right? Get the hell out of here right now, I don't need you anymore, and your entire salary for this month is being deducted!"

"ah?"

The manager was completely bewildered. What was going on?

He hasn't even realized it yet!

In his panic, he immediately shouted at the boss, "No, boss, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Let me tell you, I have connections here. If you don't beg Mr. Lu for forgiveness today, I'll dig you up and kill you no matter where you run to."

After the boss cursed a few times, the phone went dead.

The manager's eyelids twitched.

It's true that he offended Lu Zheng, but wasn't he also acting on his boss's orders?

His boss called him first, telling him to deal with Lu Zheng and cooperate with Xia Ruo.

So this result makes him the one who's wrong? What did he do?

Damn it, they're putting all the blame on him?

Lu Zheng chuckled and looked at him, saying, "Your boss called you, right? He probably told you that you offended someone you shouldn't have, and that you need to apologize, or else he won't let you off easily, right?"

The manager certainly knows what kind of person his boss is, and he also knows how his boss started his business.

His boss can say that and he can do it.

So in that instant, he was so frightened that he panicked immediately.

He immediately turned to Lu Zheng and said, "Mr. Lu, listen to me, this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zheng yawned, turned to Sister Wu, and said, "Sister Wu, I think you're the one who's more suitable to be the manager of this store. What do you think, do you want the position?"

Upon hearing this, the manager immediately pleaded, "Mr. Lu, I'm just an employee. Please don't make things difficult for me. I have to do whatever the boss tells me to do. What I did just now was also what the boss asked me to do."

"I can't take the blame for this!"

This manager is a real oddball.

He apologizes now, but he keeps saying his boss made him take the blame. Isn't that just a way of saying he did nothing wrong?

Mingxiang gave him a disgusted look: "Shut up, don't talk to us, you're disgusting."

Of course, the manager didn't care whether what he said to Lu Zheng and the others was disgusting.

All he wants now is to keep his position.

The few people who had just fawned over him were now looking at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on?

In just one phone call, his attitude completely changed?

He actually turned around and apologized to Lu Zheng and the others?

This is far too dramatic.

It even caught those present off guard.

Seeing that Lu Zheng did not answer him, he immediately turned his gaze to Xia Ruo and Xu Yue, the couple.

Wasn't he said to be the future successor of the Xia family?

How could Xia Linyu change this situation with just one phone call?

"Young Master Xia, Miss Xu, I'm doing this for you two. Don't stay silent, say something."

Xia Ruo gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

"No, Young Master Xia, what... what do you mean?"

Seeing the bitter look on his face, Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "You don't need to ask him anymore. I'll say it for you. I already told you that Xia Ruo is no longer the future successor of the Xia family."

"You were listening to me say that just now, but you didn't believe it yourself. Who can you blame? Am I right?"

Now he believed it.

But he doesn't care about that now. He just wants to avoid being implicated. He doesn't want to be the one to take the blame!

"Young Master Xia, you're the one who caused my predicament, so say something..."

As the manager spoke, he started tearing at Xia Ruo's clothes, but Xia Ruo was already annoyed, and his actions only made her angrier. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face, saying, "Shut the hell up."
