“Even if I don’t get promoted, I’m still going to help her. She’s the victim. You two are both long-time employees of the store, how can you be accomplices to evil?” The saleswoman’s tone was firm and her attitude was tough.
The two sales clerks who helped Jiang Siyu looked at her with sneers: "Don't pretend to be high and mighty in front of us. We're just waiting for your promotion and raise."
Su Niannian admired the little girl for her uprightness and courage.
She laughed and said, "You should wait for her promotion appointment notice, because starting today, you will also be kicked out of this store and will never be hired by MG Company again."
After saying that, Su Niannian took out her phone in front of everyone and sent a text message to a person named Stephen.
Less than three minutes later, the shop's landline rang.
One of the staff members answered the phone, and it really was an appointment notice from the head office. The girl who helped Su Niannian change her clothes was to become the manager of this store.
The two sales clerks were dismissed by the head office.
The two sales clerks who helped Jiang Siyu stared at Su Niannian in disbelief after learning that they had really been fired, and asked in shock, "How is this possible? Who exactly are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, just remember that I can control your fate." Su Niannian didn't want to answer directly, so she waved to the two of them and smiled, "Take care! Don't bother seeing me out."
"Can you...can you give me another chance? I have elderly parents and young children to support, I really can't live without this job." One of the older sales clerks humbled herself and pleaded desperately.
Another saleswoman also didn't want to leave and pleaded for forgiveness, "Mrs. Si, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't realize your status. Please give me another chance. From now on, I will follow your lead."
Su Niannian remained unmoved and resolutely refused: "No, I've said it before, I will never let anyone who dares to lay a hand on my son get away with it. From the moment you decided to help Miss Jiang, you were destined to not be able to stay here."
She didn't want to argue with the two sales clerks anymore, and gestured with her eyes that they could leave.
Before the two sales clerks could say anything more, they were escorted out by Si Lijue's bodyguards.
Si Lijue looked at the petite woman in front of him with a leisurely air, then pulled her into his arms and asked curiously, "Do you know Stephen, the boss of MG?"
Su Niannian nodded and readily replied, "Yes, we know each other! Her daughter and our son were classmates in kindergarten, and we got along quite well, so we became friends over time."
"Is that all?" Si Lijue stared intently at the person in his arms, afraid of missing even the slightest change in her expression.
I don't know why, but I always feel like the woman in my arms is deliberately hiding something from me; she's not as simple as she seems.
For example, the domineering and assertive attitude she displayed when protecting Xibao was completely inconsistent with her usual gentle and weak persona. And what about the boss of MG Company?
Although the company claims that MG is owned by this Western woman named Stephen, the designs of this company all have Chinese style elements, and the company has only been operating internationally for three short years.
He once asked Lin Fei to investigate the owner of MG, but all he found was this Western woman named Stephen. He couldn't explain how a genuine Westerner could successfully master elements of Chinese style.
"Otherwise what! You don't think I'm the boss of this company, do you?" Su Niannian seemed to sense Si Lijue's probing, raised her head to look at him, and appeared frank and open.
Si Lijue continued, "If you're not the boss of this company, why does Stephen listen to your advice so much? With just a text message from you, she can fire the store's employees or promote them and give them a raise without even a performance review?"
"Uh... I'd like to say that Stephen hates people who act as accomplices to evil, and he dislikes people who deceive their superiors even more. Would you believe me?" Su Niannian reached out, gently hugged him, and snuggled into his arms as she spoke.
In that instant, the man's doubts began to disappear little by little.
He reached out and put his arm around Su Niannian's waist, whispering in her ear, "I believe you. I believe everything you say."
“I just sent her a copy of the video and told her that the staff member who served me was an upright and brave girl, and that’s when she made her decision.”
Su Niannian buried her face in the man's chest and, in order to dispel Si Lijue's suspicions, continued, "I would like to become the owner here, so that our Xibao won't have to suffer with me, and we won't have to come back and encounter so many unpleasant things."
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of ability, nor do I possess the most powerful business acumen.
Si Lijue thought she was right.
If Su Niannian were truly the boss of MG, she wouldn't need to go back to China to go on blind dates with those unattractive men, nor would she need to reluctantly agree to become his personal assistant at the company.
If she were truly a successful businesswoman in a multinational corporation, she would never return to China, nor would she let him know that she has a son as old as Xibao. Instead, she would raise Xibao abroad.
If she were truly a big boss, then she would be surrounded by outstanding men, and she wouldn't remember her own merits. She would find a satisfactory husband and give Xibao a complete family.
Thinking of this, Si Lijue felt a tightness in his chest and felt very uncomfortable.
He tightened his arm around Su Niannian's waist, and with his other hand lifted her chin, his dark, deep eyes gazing into hers with both affection and guilt. "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."
Su Niannian met the man's gaze and saw his sincerity and remorse. Her clear, watery eyes held an unyielding tenderness.
She gently shook her head. "I don't feel wronged."
She was able to stay by his side and give birth to Xibao for him without feeling wronged at all; on the contrary, she felt quite happy.
Si Lijue released Su Niannian's chin, tenderly pulled her into his arms, and closed his eyes briefly, as if making a promise to the person in his arms, or as a warning to himself.
"From now on, I will never let anyone bully you. I will protect you well. Anyone who dares to target you, no matter who they are, I will show no mercy."
Su Niannian nestled in Si Lijue's arms like a docile kitten, her ear pressed against his strong chest, listening to the sweet promises he made in his deep and magnetic voice.
These words seemed to transform into warm currents, constantly warming Su Niannian's heart and making her feel wonderful.
Her cheeks flushed, and a hint of joy sparkled in her eyes. She whispered, "I believe you will take good care of us, mother and child, and will never let us suffer any injustice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man tightened his grip on her waist.
