Chapter 209 The Ke Family (Minor Revision)



"..."

Chen Zhaodi pointed to herself in disbelief: "Me, the boss?"

Chen Lijuan nodded with a heavy heart and advised, "Zhaodi, now that the boss has run away, try your best to act convincingly so as not to scare away this business!"

Who knows what went wrong with the boss? The deal was almost done, and then he ran away.

Chen Zhaodi was breathing rapidly and extremely nervous, but with the help of Zhou Bing and Chen Lijuan, she successfully completed the mission.

It feels pretty good!

Chen Zhaodi suddenly realized that Zhou Bing and Chen Lijuan, who were usually her competitors, were actually quite nice.

At this moment, Chen Lijuan, who had turned Mrs. Ke and her entourage back, snatched the list that Chen Zhaodi was playing with from her hand.

Chen Zhaodi: "..."

Good my ass!

Zhou Hongyu only let her be the boss for a day, and it's not even over yet!

Chen Lijuan handed the order to Zhou Bing: "Keep this safe! When the boss comes to the store, remember to tell him to treat you to a big meal!"

This feast is a must!

According to the store's rules, as salespeople, they were entitled to a commission on each order. So, before the boss returned, she and Zhou Bing did their best to serve the big customer, but the boss's casual remark about a discount made all their efforts go to waste.

We must make up for her absence!

Zhou Bing smiled and agreed, then took the form and got up to find a place to put it away.

Wu Xiufang pursed her lips and stood not far away, looking at the three veterans in the store, her unhappy mood quietly showing.

Wen Zhixin advised her, "We've only been here a short time and haven't even achieved any decent results yet. You'd better not mess with Chen Lijuan. It's hard to find a job with such good pay these days!"

Wen Zhixin has the greatest flaw of all men: he loves beautiful women.

In his opinion, both the healthy and energetic Chen Lijuan and the hot, sexy and charming Wu Xiufang are quite good. Beautiful women should get along well. He would be in a dilemma if they argued every day, and he would be in a dilemma about which side to take.

What annoyed Wen Zhixin even more was that, based on his more than 20 years of experience as a straight man, he could tell that the two beauties were still at odds with each other because of another man.

Wu Xiufang was unconvinced; she knew very well that she had an advantage in appearance.

"What's so great about Chen Lijuan? I've already asked around. She hasn't been here long. Apparently, she got the job because Zhou Bing's sister got married, and she's a relative of the boss. She used her connections to get the job!"

Wen Zhixin sighed. Although Wu Xiufang was beautiful, her mind was only that of a normal person.

As Wu Xiufang said, Chen Lijuan has only been here for a short time, but her excellent work ability shows that she is a very capable person.

If the two have a conflict, it's easy to guess who the boss will side with.

Moreover, Chen Lijuan has connections!

Wen Zhixin: "If you want to outdo her, you'd better improve your work skills as soon as possible!"

Wu Xiufang glared at him fiercely: "I know without you telling me!"

In the store, the capable are king. The boss is very easy to talk to, and you can even ask for some easily fulfilled conditions because you have outstanding abilities and have completed tasks beyond expectations.

This is another reason why Wu Xiufang and Chen Lijuan are not getting along.

Even with all her efforts, Wu Xiufang could never achieve what Chen Lijuan has today.

That evening, Mrs. Ke told her family some good news at the dinner table: the costumes for their dance troupe's performance at the New Year's Eve party had been purchased.

Now we just have to wait for the dance troupe to shine at the gala.

Ke Jingnan smiled and raised his glass of red wine: "Come on, Qiaoqiao, let's congratulate Mom!"

These past few days, his wife has been traveling all over Beijing, just to buy suitable clothes as soon as possible. He has seen how hard his wife has worked, and he is very happy about the good news today.

Ke Qiao raised her glass and drank red wine in a happy and pleasant atmosphere when she suddenly heard a very sensitive name from her mother.

"...Jingnan, don't you know who the owner of that clothing store is? Chang's mother!" Mrs. Ke said casually as she cut her steak, glancing at her daughter who was drinking red wine.

"Chang's mother..."

Sure enough, before Ke Jingnan could finish speaking, Ke Qiao suddenly coughed violently, choking on his red wine.

After a moment of panic, Ke Qiao recovered completely, but Madam Ke's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Before this, Mrs. Ke only suspected that Ke Qiao had someone he liked, but now she knows who that person is!

Her daughter, whom she had raised with great care, was determined to become a diplomat, and no one could stop her from doing so.

Ke Qiao's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at her mother's expression. Had her little secrets been discovered?

Mom knew she liked Chang Rihui...

Chang Rihui's mother opened a new store. She had originally planned to visit it with Chang Rihui after returning from Shanghai, but as soon as she came back from winning the award, her mother kept her at home under various pretexts and watched over her at all times.

Chang Rihui happened to have to take leave and go on a long trip due to unforeseen circumstances...

How did Mom find Chang Rihui's mother's shop?

Ke Jingnan helped his daughter take away the towel that had been used to wipe the stains. Mrs. Ke carefully cut her steak: "Chang seems exceptionally talented, but after meeting him today, I've discovered that he's an unexpected surprise in their family. His mother is a bit..."

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Ke Jingnan returned from the kitchen wiping his hands. He was immersed in his translation work all day and was unaware of the shady dealings between the mother and daughter.

He knew less about his wife and daughters than he did about the characters in the book.

When Mrs. Ke mentioned a male classmate of her daughter that he liked very much, he couldn't help but become curious.

"Chang's mother? I really like this student. He's knowledgeable, elegant, talented, and also very protective of female classmates..."

He even takes care of his female classmates!

Your precious daughter is about to run off with someone else!

Mrs. Ke's eyes flashed with anger: "She doesn't look like much! Very ordinary! Just like the housewives you usually see at the market. But the fact that she can open a shop and be a boss means she's not just a typical housewife. Managing such a big shop, if she's really as unassuming as she appears, then I can only say that she's hidden her true nature very well!"

Ke Jingnan lowered his head and ate his food silently, keenly sensing his wife's anger.

I don't know why.

Ke Qiao couldn't help but speak up for Chang Rihui's mother: "Mom, you can't say that. You've only met once..."

Chang Rihui's mother is a very humorous lady.

Mrs. Ke stared at her sharply: "I've seen her at the clothing store, but where else have you seen her? How many times have you met her?"

Under relentless questioning, Ke Qiao was too frightened to continue, fearing that revealing more of his secrets would give them leverage against him.

Ke Qiao shook his head: "I've only met him a few times, we're not familiar with each other!"

Mrs. Ke snorted coldly, "I know your little tricks all too well. I haven't even asked if we're familiar with each other yet, and you're already saying we're not. Isn't that just like trying to hide something obvious?"

Whether we're close or not, we won't be close anymore!
