Unfortunately, Chen Zhaodi, whom Mrs. Ke mistook for the shop owner and Chang Rihui's mother, was angrily cursing.
Wen Zhixin accidentally misremembered a customer's request, which led to a complaint from the customer, and Chen Lijuan, the senior employee who taught them the rules, was severely reprimanded.
Chen Zhaodi showed no mercy when scolding her niece from her maternal family.
Zhou Hongyu suspected that everyone's frantic blind dates before the New Year had severely provoked Chen Zhaodi, which was why she was so angry.
Chen Lijuan accidentally ran into a gunshot wound—
"Hey, is your boss always this bad-tempered?"
A voice came from behind me asking a question.
Zhou Hongyu slowly turned her head and saw the face that suddenly approached her; her throat almost popped out of her mouth.
Keqiao Mom!
“Yes, right…” Zhou Hongyu suddenly stammered.
Mrs. Ke smiled broadly and encouraged her to speak more about the truth: "Tell me what's wrong, don't keep it to yourself, I'll help you understand!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ke approached.
Zhou Hongyu was so frightened that she dared not move. "Don't come any closer!"
"Is...is something the matter...?"
"I'm here to pick up the goods!"
Mrs. Ke took out the form to prove her identity, then folded it up and put it back in her pocket.
Mrs. Ke persisted in trying to hear more bad things about the shop owner from Zhou Hongyu.
"Your boss is too fierce, she scolds people too harshly. Judging from her behavior, you must suffer a lot!"
Under her earnest gaze, Zhou Hongyu nodded hesitantly.
Mrs. Ke seemed to have found an ally, and she started complaining to Zhou Hongyu.
"Although your boss owns such a big store, she's probably not a very good person. I heard she has a very capable son, haha... If you ask me, kids these days mature early! Your boss really needs to keep an eye on her son! Otherwise, any unexpected situation could ruin his future!"
Zhou Hongyu's expression was stiff. "I want to discipline my son, but I can't!"
I'm not his mother, but he's my ancestor!
Zhou Hongyu felt unusually guilty and tried to make conversation: "Yes, kids these days mature early..."
Mrs. Ke nodded, thinking of her troublesome daughter, and suddenly had a lot to say to the stranger next to her.
“Kids these days have it too easy and don’t know how to appreciate it. When her dad and I didn’t have the means, it was hard to even try. But she, we’ve paved the way for her, and she just doesn’t appreciate it. I don’t know what she’s thinking all day long!”
"Let me ask you this: isn't studying more important for a child?"
Zhou Hongyu laughed awkwardly: "Of course, studying is the most important thing!"
Haha, don't ask her about her studies anymore, her grades were just average when she was in school!
Mrs. Ke talked a lot to the stranger, then turned her head and saw Zhou Hongyu's face. She felt that Zhou Hongyu looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before!
Mrs. Ke became unhappy again; she felt a strange and inexplicable hostility towards this man.
"Alright, I'm just here to pick up the goods, so I won't say any more to you!"
Mrs. Ke took the list to the boss.
boss……
Chen Zhaodi stopped cursing and hadn't come to her senses yet. Her first instinct was to find Zhou Hongyu for Madam Ke.
She could clearly catch a glimpse of Zhou Hongyu out of the corner of her eye just now, and then she disappeared!
Chen Lijuan had a sudden inspiration and reached out to take Mrs. Ke's order: "Boss, you were the one who served this lady last time, have you forgotten?"
I haven't forgotten!
That day, Zhou Hongyu suddenly went crazy and ran away, abandoning everything in the shop, leaving her to be the boss for a whole day!
Chen Zhaodi coughed a few times: "I was a little confused for a moment, can you bring the form over here?"
Chen Lijuan lowered her head to hide the disdain in her eyes and handed over the form.
Mrs. Ke frowned. The employees in the store didn't seem convinced. So, how did Chang Rihui's mother manage to build such a big store?
Is life all about luck?
Because of Chang Rihui, Mrs. Ke harbored deep hostility towards Chang Rihui's mother.
After Chen Zhaodi confirmed that everything was correct, Mrs. Ke called someone to come and pick up the goods.
The Chen family aunt and niece stood aside waiting for Mrs. Ke to finish her phone call.
Chen Zhaodi muttered enviously in a low voice, "Lijuan, it seems like cars aren't such a rarity after all. When is the boss going to get a car for the shop...?"
Chen Lijuan curled her lips. With the boss's heartless capitalist appearance, if he wanted to buy a car, he'd have to wait ten or eight years!
Mrs. Ke hung up the phone just as Chen Zhaodi was talking about buying a car.
She couldn't help but laugh. All she did was open a clothing store and hire a few employees, and she was already dreaming of buying a car!
Mrs. Ke said haughtily, "Boss, cars are very expensive. It costs a lot of money to buy and maintain them. Your shop may not even be able to afford to maintain one car. Please think it over carefully before making a decision!"
"I may be being harsh, but the decision is entirely yours!"
Mrs. Ke was dressed smartly and clearly highly educated. Chen Zhaodi was also intimidated by the fact that she was a family member of the Foreign Affairs College.
Boss, someone's here causing trouble! Come quick!
The boss didn't just appear out of nowhere!
Chen Lijuan suppressed her anger and saw Mrs. Ke off after she picked up the goods. She explained, "Zhao Digu, the boss is so ruthless, yet he's willing to give her such a huge discount. She must be useful to the boss. Let's not offend her for now!"
If we really want revenge, then the boss himself has to take the hit!
Seeing that Madam Ke had left, Zhou Hongyu quickly came out of the small room where she was resting.
As soon as she came out, as if by telepathy, Zhou Hongyu sneezed several times.
Because of those few sneezes, Chen Zhaodi caught her in no time.
Chen Zhaodi ran over to complain: "Where did you go just now? Lijuan and I served that rich lady who came to buy clothes last time. She was extremely arrogant!"
Chen Lijuan chimed in, "Yes, boss! She also said that one of their cars is worth as much as our whole store!"
Zhou Hongyu didn't listen to their gossip and said frankly, "What they said isn't wrong. Although I own a clothing store and have several employees, I may not be able to afford one of their cars!"
Chen Zhaodi & Chen Lijuan: "..."
Wait a minute, boss, you weren't this weak before!
Wealth and honor cannot sway us, boss!
No matter how rich she is, you can't be afraid of her, boss!
When Zhou Bing returned from outside, he suddenly noticed that Chen Zhaodi and Chen Lijuan looked devastated. He pulled the new employee aside and asked what happened.
Only Wang Qiang gave a rough account, saying that Chen Zhaodi and Chen Lijuan seemed to have been provoked by what the boss said.
Zhou Bing: "..."
My aunt's words can be quite frightening at times, so they just make trouble for themselves.
As the year draws to a close, the cultural center is getting busy.
Chen Lijuan and Zhou Bing began preparing for the branch store.
While keeping an eye on the store's business, Zhou Hongyu also worked overtime to keep track of her work.
At this time, Ning Huilan took the initiative to come to Zhou Hongyu and found her an easy job.
Zhou Hongyu accompanied her to serve as a temporary consultant for a certain gala.
