With Xue Qiandai's aesthetic sense and vision, calling her a fashion buyer would probably make even real buyers feel inferior.
That's due to a combination of early childhood education and exceptional talent.
But Xue Qiandai cannot accept it; it is too precious.
The taxi stopped, and Xue Qiandai stuffed herself and the shopping bags into the car. "Auntie, I've already enjoyed shopping with you enough. I'm a fashion designer now, and I only wear clothes that I design myself. Driver, drive to Yanlan Villa."
Zhao Mufei didn't say much, looking at the bags and packages, "Master, let's go to the W Hotel first."
If you don't accept the gift, then we'll just leave it in your store.
Xue Qiandai was unaware of his aunt's thoughts; his mind was preoccupied with Jian Yan and Huo Meiren. There wasn't time to elaborate over the phone; it seemed the good-for-nothing Jian Yao had caused trouble, and Huo Yunchao was furious, nearly beating Qin Shu and Li Xing senseless.
Let's go back ten minutes.
While Jian Yan was answering buyers' questions in her workspace, she received a call from her younger brother, Jian Yao.
"Sister, I...I...I've messed up." Jian Yao's voice trembled as if he had just experienced a storm.
Jian Yan immediately stopped what she was doing, her brows furrowing. "Jian Yao, what's going on?"
"Sis, my brother-in-law assigned me to work under a young upstart. That guy doesn't like me and gives me a lot of work every day, making me contact a lot of businesses and make a lot of phone calls. I don't even have time to drink a sip of water all day long..." Jian Yao started complaining and grumbled a few words before being interrupted by his sister.
Jian Yan knew exactly what kind of person her younger brother was. "Get to the point."
“There was a big merchant who wanted to expand their reputation and get the top spot on Huotuan’s recommendation list. I thought it was a good opportunity, so I said I could get the top spot, but I would have to pay a price. Anyway, it doesn’t matter who gets the recommendation spot on Huotuan. As a result, this merchant complained about me, accusing me of openly soliciting kickbacks.”
"President Huo found out and called my brother-in-law and Li Xing—oh, Li Xing is my boss, that wretched brat—to his office and yelled at them for half an hour. Sis, I've never seen President Huo so angry. I can't stay here any longer. Sis, please come and take me away." Jian Yao whimpered and sobbed, her heart trembling.
Not to mention the boss, Jian Yan wanted to slap him across the face from afar and kill him.
After hanging up with Jian Yao, Jian Yan immediately dialed Xue Qiandai's number.
The two agreed to meet in the lobby of Yintai Center.
*
The President's Office of Chaoxun Technology.
Huo Yunchao smashed two cups, and documents were scattered all over the floor.
Qin Shu and Li Xing hunched their shoulders, remaining as quiet as chickens, listening to the admonition.
The other employees, including Jian Yao, stood nervously outside the door, watching to see how things would unfold. He clearly sensed the tense atmosphere and the cold, unfriendly stares of his colleagues.
"Old Qin, this is the person you recommended! I don't object to recommending people based on merit, but the premise is that it must be based on merit."
"He even confidently told me that he would give me a second Li Xing. If Li Xing were like this, my Fireball would have shut down long ago."
"Demanding kickbacks from customers? Sure, I, Huo Yunchao, have never seen such an employee in all my years of entrepreneurship. And to the point of being complained about by customers, who even pointed their fingers at me and cursed at me!"
Huo Yunchao's mouth was dry from cursing, and he wanted to drink a glass of water to calm down. He reached for the glass on the table, only to find it was still rolled on the floor.
"Old Huo, I've already followed up on the matter and apologized to the client..." Qin Shu didn't dare to argue, but he wanted to report clearly to his boss, who obviously didn't want to hear it.
Huo Yunchao's handsome face darkened like an iron pot. "If apologies were enough, what would be the point of crisis management? That merchant is a member of the catering association. With him spreading this, what credibility does our Huotuan have left? How are we going to attract new merchants in the future?"
"Li Xing, you've suffered an undeserved disaster this time. But as the manager of the External Liaison and Development Department, you're responsible for leading the team. Failing to properly manage your subordinates is also a dereliction of duty."
Li Xing raised his head and met Huo Yunchao's gaze. "President Huo, I have let you down. I will accept whatever punishment you give me. Now we need to minimize the damage caused by this incident, avoid affecting other businesses, and also... guard against arbitrary media reports."
Huo Yunchao, hands on his hips, said, "Tell me your contingency plan."

When Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan arrived, Qin Shu and Li Xing had just come out of the president's office.
Jian Yao felt like he'd been granted a pardon after meeting his savior, but his attempt to call her "sister" was immediately cut off by Jian Yan's glare. Jian Yan only looked at Qin Shu, her brother's sins atoned for by his sister. "Qin Shu, how are things? What do we do next?"
"I need to go to the restaurant." Qin Shu glanced at Jian Yan, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, so he had to remain calm.
“I’ll go with you,” Jian Yan immediately suggested.
Qin Shu did not refuse.
The two of them went ahead.
Xue Qiandai then went into the president's office.
Huo Yunchao was still angry and picked up a pen holder, intending to smash it, but he didn't. Xue Qiandai took it and smashed it hard for him, which made her feel much better.
Looking at his little fairy, Huo Yunchao's tense nerves relaxed, and he chuckled. "I've even alerted you."
Xue Qiandai stepped forward and brushed the stray hairs from his forehead. "I'm the boss's wife, so it's not like I'm causing any trouble."
Then she started picking up the things on the ground, including the pen holder she had thrown away. "I've never seen you get so angry before. I thought my boyfriend would always be gentle and mild-mannered."
Huo Yunchao then bent down and said to her, "You've discovered the primal power and violent tendencies within me."
Xue Qiandai smiled and said, "Everyone has a temper, it's good to vent it. When I'm unhappy, I smash my laptop, and I let him have all the precious data, no matter how many gigabytes it is."
She was referring to the last time Yu Xue borrowed Huo Meiren's notebook, which Huo Meiren then smashed.
The cup, pen holder, and documents were all put back in their places. Huo Yunchao chuckled, "Good riddance. Now I'm calm and it's time to clean up the mess."
Just then, Fang Yun knocked on the office door. "President Huo, the merchant posted this on the internet, and netizens are discussing it heatedly. It's already in the top ten trending topics."
"I understand." Huo Yunchao opened the computer on the table. On Weibo's homepage, the top trending topic was a report about Huotuan demanding kickbacks from merchants. Most people didn't believe that the company managed by President Huo would do such a thing, but some netizens expressed their intention to boycott Huotuan and demand an apology.
Huo Yunchao pinched his fingers and responded using the official account of the Fire Team, writing a few words and then deleting them; he wrote some more but was still not satisfied.
Xue Qiandai pulled him up, sat down in front of the computer, and wrote smoothly: "The Fire Group's lax management has let down the expectations of merchants and customers. I hereby solemnly and sincerely apologize to everyone. It is all about human effort. This incident has also served as a wake-up call for the Fire Group. Working together with merchants and customers to achieve mutual benefit is the only way to develop. Huo Yunchao, the person in charge of the Fire Group, will ensure that such an incident never happens again."
