The manager strode over and saw that Si Lijue looked unwell and that a staff member was wiping away tears. He hurriedly apologized to Si Lijue carefully.
"Mr. Si, please calm down. It was all our staff's mistake. I will handle it immediately."
Immediately afterward, without waiting for Si Lijue's response, he yelled at the sales clerk, "How can you be so blind? Do you think someone of President Si's status would drink this stuff?"
Isn't there some top-quality coffee beans in the break room, specially prepared for Mr. Si? Why don't you hurry up and grind a cup of coffee for him?
How did I teach you all? You didn't remember a single word. You messed up at the crucial moment and only dragged us down.
What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and get to work! Are you dawdling and trying to avoid the job?
"Yes! I'll go right away." The saleswoman's eyes were moist, her voice choked with emotion, and she hurried towards the tea room without stopping.
The manager bowed and scraped, his face full of obsequiousness, and said, "President Si, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
"Hmm!" Si Lijue uttered a single word from his throat, his gaze still fixed on the newspaper.
The manager turned around, his expression immediately turning from sunny to gloomy, and walked toward the break room with a stern face.
He was determined to teach these scheming employees a lesson, to make them understand that the store was a workplace, and if they wanted to climb the social ladder, they should do it outside the store. Whether it was seduction or sleeping with someone, he couldn't interfere.
In short, they can't let it affect the store's business, otherwise, he'll definitely make them pay.
Su Niannian, wearing a white dress, slowly walked out of the fitting room.
This dress features delicate lace trim at the neckline and fine pleats on the hem. Made of silk, it boasts exquisite craftsmanship and superior quality. Wearing it on her feels like it was custom-made, looking natural and comfortable.
She was like a blooming lily, exuding an irresistible charm with every move and smile, captivating all who saw her.
Si Lijue's gaze was still on the newspaper when he heard the sound of the fitting room door opening. He instantly looked up and saw her slowly walking towards him. He stared straight at the woman in front of him, unable to take his eyes off her.
Su Niannian spun around on the spot, then asked cautiously with a smile, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Si Lijue nodded, speaking the truth.
He used to think of Su Niannian as just a young girl, like Si Lili, and never regarded her as a woman, at most as a younger sister.
It wasn't until a few days ago when I found her and discovered that she had given birth to my son that I had to get to know her again and truly see her as a woman.
Since he redefined her as a woman in his mind, he has found that more and more of her admirable qualities are attracting him.
Moreover, it seemed that she had taken root in his heart, occupying an increasingly larger place, and he clearly realized his own feelings; he liked her more and more.
Su Niannian saw him staring at her and scrutinizing her repeatedly, and thought that something was wrong with her clothes or that there was something dirty on her face, so she stood there in fear and didn't dare to move.
She asked nervously in a low voice, "Does this dress look bad on me? Or is there something wrong with it? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing her panicked appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, Si Lijue immediately stood up from the sofa and strode over to her.
He gently brushed a few stray hairs from her forehead and soothed her softly, "There's nothing wrong with it, and the dress suits you perfectly."
"Really?" Su Niannian looked at him timidly, her heart pounding like a drum.
"Really, I'm not lying to you!" Si Lijue said firmly, his eyes resolute, and his expression sincere.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be lying, Su Niannian finally felt relieved.
She winked at the man in front of her and asked playfully, "Do I look good in this?"
Si Lijue smiled and nodded solemnly, "You're beautiful. I just think you're so beautiful that I was a little mesmerized for a moment."
Su Niannian thought she was hallucinating and wanted to confirm it again, so she couldn't help but ask, "What...what did you say?"
Si Lijue leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I said you are very beautiful, like a fairy from heaven, so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off you."
Ah! Is he saying sweet nothings to her?
This seemed to be the first time he had said such mushy things to her since they met, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Su Niannian felt her cheeks burning, as if they were being roasted by fire.
She could guess with her toes that her face must be as red as a monkey's bottom.
Worried that the man in front of her would notice her embarrassment, she quickly covered her cheeks with her hands and blurted out, "I...I'll go change into something else." Then, she ran shyly into the fitting room.
Before Si Lijue could finish speaking, he saw Su Niannian run away shyly, almost as if she were fleeing in panic.
Not only was he not angry, but he was actually quite happy. He couldn't help but let out a low laugh, his eyes full of doting affection.
The saleswoman, who wanted to attract Si Lijue's attention, followed the manager's instructions and ground a cup of coffee with the finest coffee beans before coming out of the break room.
As it happened, she witnessed the interaction between Si Lijue and Su Niannian, as well as the way Si Lijue stared at Su Niannian, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
It turns out that the famous president of the Si Group isn't cold-blooded and ruthless to everyone!
He also has moments of tenderness, but he only shows that tenderness to those he cares about.
She thought of the look of disgust and aversion on Si Lijue's face just now, and guessed that she would probably never be able to catch the eye of this great Buddha in this lifetime.
What she couldn't understand was what kind of magic that woman in the fitting room possessed that could make a man like Si Lijue so infatuated?
She walked over dejectedly with her coffee cup, no longer daring to entertain any other thoughts.
She had only taken two steps and hadn't even gotten close to Si Lijue when the manager rushed over, took the coffee from her hand, and told her to go and greet the other customers, thus sending her away.
The way they treated her, as if she were a thief, made the saleswoman feel both wronged and sad.
She couldn't help but feel regretful; her life was unlucky, and it was too difficult for her to achieve success like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The manager carefully handed over the freshly brewed coffee, saying respectfully, "Mr. Si, this is freshly ground coffee. Please enjoy."
"Put it on the table first!" Si Lijue said calmly this time without blaming the manager.
"Alright! All set." The manager placed the coffee cup in front of Si Lijue and stood aside waiting for Su Niannian to try on the clothes.
Su Niannian tried on several dresses one by one, and Si Lijue thought she looked good in every one of them, nodding frequently.
The manager also smiled and echoed, praising Su Niannian's beauty, his flattery resounding loudly.
Si Lijue was very generous. He had the manager pack up all the clothes that Su Niannian had tried on. In no time, the store counter was piled high with them.
