Chapter 280: Manager Liu

"Xiao Su, what time is it? Why are you here just now? You can't be so unenthusiastic at work."

Manager Liu stood with his hands behind his back. He was not too old, but he acted like an official.

Su Xiaoxiao thought, isn't there still five minutes left? She usually came on time and the other leaders didn't say anything, but this Manager Liu looked like a troublemaker. She had to be more careful next time.

After all, he was her direct supervisor, so she couldn't show it, so she smiled and said, "Manager Liu, I will pay attention next time."

Manager Liu raised his chin and said, "Alright, get back to work and be more careful next time."

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to the grocery counter.

As soon as she reached the counter, Liu Cuilan pouted at her and asked, "Did Manager Liu just say something about you?"

Su Xiaoxiao was curious: "Sister Zhang, how did you know?"

Zhang Yulan curled her lips and said, "You can tell with your toes that you didn't know his character when you first arrived, but you'll find out after a while. He doesn't do his job all day long, just waiting to find fault with us."

Judging from Zhang Yulan's tone, she seemed to be very displeased with Manager Liu.

Just when I was about to ask for more details so that I could be more careful next time, I saw Manager Liu walking towards me with square steps.

"Sister Zhang, Manager Liu is here."

She whispered a reminder, and Zhang Yulan immediately returned to the counter she was in charge of.

As soon as I stood up, Manager Liu came over with his hands behind his back.

"Look at what time it is? You're all talking to each other as if the department store is your bed? You should have a working attitude when you're at work..."

He started to lecture me.

Although he is in his early twenties, his tone of voice is even more mature than that of leaders in their forties or fifties.

After criticizing the grocery counter, he slowly walked to other counters.

After the people left, Qin Shuang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me."

"You'll get used to it. Anyway, you should stay away from him when you see him. He's a troublemaker."

Zhang Yulan was deeply touched and kindly reminded the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that the ordered sewing machine would be delivered almost tomorrow, so she asked Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang to keep an eye on it for her in the morning when there were not many people around, and went upstairs to find Manager Wang.

As soon as I arrived at Manager Wang's door, I ran into Manager Liu.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped immediately, turned around and prepared to go back, fearing that she would be scolded again.

Before she could turn around, Manager Liu had already seen her and his face immediately fell. "Xiao Su, I have to say something to you. Why are you wandering around instead of staying at your post during working hours? Besides, is this office area a place for ordinary employees like you to come?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought it was bad luck and was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Comrade Xiao Su, you've come just in time. I was just about to look for you."

Manager Wang walked forward with a smile.

Seeing that Manager Liu opposite Su Xiaoxiao also smiled and said: "Manager Liu, Comrade Xiao Su came to see me for something, please don't misunderstand."

When Manager Liu heard that I was here to see Manager Wang, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees: "Comrade Xiao Su, look, I misunderstood, didn't I? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were here to see Manager Wang? I thought you were just wandering around. There's nothing I can do. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. You'll understand after we get to know each other for a long time. I'm doing this for work, so don't mind it."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. Although he apologized on the surface, he was still accusing her of not being able to do things.

Forget it, he is the leader after all, she can't do anything against him.

I could only smile and say, "Yes, Manager Liu, you are right. I will pay attention to it next time."

Manager Wang spoke up in time to break the awkward atmosphere: "Comrade Xiao Su, let's go to my office and talk."

As he spoke, he walked towards the office, and Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed.

Manager Liu saw that the two men were acting mysteriously and seemed unwilling to say anything in front of him, so he followed them two steps forward curiously.

Manager Wang immediately said, "Manager Liu, I have some private matters to discuss with Xiao Su. You can go and do whatever you want first."

He didn't have a good impression of Manager Liu. He was ambitious and liked to tell tales behind people's backs. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to overthrow the previous sales manager and take this position in just two years.

Manager Wang, who was promoted based on seniority, looked down upon people like him who flattered him the most. Normally, the two of them only got along well on the surface.

Seeing that he was about to get rid of him, Manager Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I just have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Having said that, he left with his hands behind his back.

After everyone left, Manager Wang led Su Xiaoxiao into the office.

As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask, "Comrade Xiao Su, is the sewing machine you ordered coming?"

"Yes, Manager Wang, the sewing machine will be delivered tomorrow."

"Very good!"

Manager Wang slammed the table and almost jumped up in excitement.

These past two days, people have been coming to the department store to inquire about sewing machines. Even distant relatives of his have come to him to ask about them.

I heard that a sewing machine is sold for 260 yuan on the black market.

He was so anxious, afraid that other department stores would preempt him.

I heard that a batch of mini sewing workers will also be coming to the First Department Store, and they will arrive in the next two days.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Xiao Su, I heard that our city's No. 1 Department Store is also going to sell a batch of mini sewing machines. I wonder..."

Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood what he meant and hastily assured him, "Manager Wang, don't worry. My relatives know that our Second Department Store and First Department Store are at odds, so they absolutely won't supply goods to the First Department Store. Even if they do have goods, they will definitely be different from what we sell."

Su Xiaoxiao is very confident about this. Her sewing machines are modern high-tech and are definitely not comparable to the technical level of this era. Even if there are imitations, they can only imitate the appearance.

"That's good, that's good."

Manager Wang finally felt completely relaxed. The First Department Store had always looked down on them, the Second Department Store. As the perennial runner-up, they were naturally very dissatisfied with the First Department Store.

But there is no way to refuse to accept it. For so many years, the performance of the First Department Store has always been better than theirs.

However, with this mini electric sewing machine this year, maybe their Second Department Store will have a chance to take the top position.

After agreeing on the delivery time for tomorrow with Manager Wang, Su Xiaoxiao hurried back to the grocery counter.

I met Manager Liu as soon as I got back.

When Manager Liu saw her, he actually smiled and said, "Xiao Su, what did Manager Wang want to talk to you about?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown. Manager Wang said it was a private matter, but Manager Liu kept asking about it. How could he be more gossipy than a woman?

"I'm sorry, Manager Liu, this is a private matter between Manager Wang and me. I can't tell you."

Su Xiaoxiao said as she walked around him and entered the counter she was in charge of.

Manager Liu was frustrated and looked a little unhappy. He left with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back.

After everyone left, Zhang Yulan quietly approached her and said, "Xiaoxiao, you'd better be careful next time. Manager Liu is not a generous person. If you don't give him face, be careful that he will do something bad to you behind your back."

"As long as I don't make any mistakes, can he just fire me?"

Zhang Yulan saw that she looked nonchalant, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and moved closer: "I'm telling you..."
