Chapter 26: Silver Flat Sandals
The male supervisor said so many words in one breath, and before he could catch his breath, Xia Cheng shook her head and rejected him.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry and I'm not very photogenic."
"Please think about it again. I have a 1,000 yuan voucher here. Please accept it."
If it were the Xia Cheng of the past, she would definitely agree, but she is different now. She doesn’t care about these things, so she continues to refuse.
Seeing this, the supervisor had no choice but to give up. He shook his head slightly at the director who was hiding not far away. The director paced twice on the spot, beckoned at him, and called the man back.
Xia Cheng then officially started shopping. The jewelry store in Jinfei Shopping Mall sold domestic luxury brands that were not available here. Unable to pick out a suitable ruby, Xia Cheng simply went into a gold shop and asked the teller to make two gold bracelets for her.
She left the gold shop, took out the humidifier, and carried it to the food area.
But along the way, I always felt weird. No matter where I went, it seemed like someone was always watching me.
Xia Cheng looked back frequently, but every time she saw only the busy male supervisor.
"What? Is this person following me? Why?"
She couldn't figure it out, so she quickened her pace. When she looked up and saw surveillance cameras everywhere, she slowed down again.
"What am I worried about? There's no way an accident could happen in this place, unless he doesn't want to do this anymore."
She turned around again, and this time she looked directly into the eyes of the male supervisor. Seeing that the male supervisor was tall and thin, she instinctively thought of someone.
"Could it be that the relative or child of the man from Jinfei Shopping Mall recognized me here and wants to take revenge on me?"
This time her pace really quickened. Xia Cheng avoided the crowd while calling Chen Kelin. If the other party really came to retaliate against her, she couldn't let Chen Kelin come here!
But Xia Cheng's foot injury had just healed and she had just been discharged from the hospital. Jogging all the way was still a burden on her body. There were many people in Wanhaili, and even if Xia Cheng kept asking for permission, not everyone would give up their place.
Not knowing who bumped into her shoulder, Xia Cheng lost her balance and staggered a few steps, saying sorry but not knowing to whom she was speaking.
The male supervisor behind her saw her walking away and kept calling out "Miss, Miss."
Xia Cheng was distracted, pretending not to hear anything, and continued running towards the exit.
Chen Kelin didn't answer the phone. Xia Cheng lowered her head and planned to call the police. She was even more certain that the male supervisor had a purpose, but she would wait until the police arrived to find out what the purpose was. No matter how he shouted, she would not stop to say a word to him.
The moment she lowered her head, Xia Cheng forgot to look at the road. The crowd near the exit suddenly became larger. A child stepped on her heel and then stepped on the rope of her sandals.
She lost her balance and fell to the ground with both knees hitting the ground hard. Her cell phone and gift box flew out of her hands, and even her shoes flew away.
Regardless of her embarrassment, Xia Cheng only wanted to escape, but the fall on the hard floor was too painful. Her palms were rubbed, her knees were scraped, and her toes were aching. She didn't even dare to look up to see the expressions of the people around her. After getting up alone, she knelt there to relax.
Her long hair couldn't cover her red face, so she lowered her head, trying to hide her embarrassment with her hair.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from above her head. Xia Cheng raised her head in confusion. The flashlight of her mobile phone shone right in front of her eyes. She subconsciously reached out to block the glaring light.
"Who are you?"
"Can't get up?" The man didn't answer the question. He put away his phone, squatted in front of Xia Cheng, lifted Xia Cheng's chin with one hand, and praised: "Well, it's really beautiful."
This was undoubtedly an impolite behavior. Xia Cheng slapped his arm away and looked directly at the exotic mixed-race face. Her eyes were slightly angry and familiar, and she was very confused.
The man put down one hand and raised the other. He picked up the things that flew out when Xia Cheng fell and threw them into her arms, but he held the pair of sandals still.
"Give it back to me."
"It's broken, are you sure you still want to wear it?"
"Who are you?"
"Miss, Miss!" The male supervisor finally caught up.
Xia Cheng shuddered all over, quickly stood up, snatched the shoes from the man's hand, and put them on her feet.
The shoes were indeed broken and the laces were loose, but Xia Cheng didn't care and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the man quickly grabbed Xia Cheng's wrist. He spoke in a low voice with interest:
"What are you afraid of?"
"Let me go!"
"That won't do. You're injured. If I leave like this, I'll be in trouble."
Bad luck?
Is she in cahoots with that male supervisor?
She is so unlucky.
Xia Cheng narrowed her eyes. Since he refused to let go, she could only use her ultimate move.
"Ah..."
The last word got stuck in her mouth and she couldn't say it out loud. Xia Cheng looked at her leg in surprise as it was held by the man. She couldn't pull it back or kick it away.
Eyebrows were so scared that they ran away from home.
"Who are you? Why are you pinching my legs? Let go!"
Xia Cheng stood on one leg, stunned, watching the male supervisor approaching closer and closer. She used all her strength to shout at the security guard at the exit:
“Help!!!”
The fat security guard heard the noise and put on his hat slowly. He straightened his collar and looked around. Seeing that Xia Cheng was indeed looking at him, he slowly ran over.
However, he did not come to help Xia Cheng, but stopped in front of the man.
"Boss Wan, what's going on?"
"fine."
"I just heard this lady calling for help."
"It's okay, her legs hurt."
The man shook Xia Cheng's legs. Xia Cheng couldn't stand steadily and could only grab his sleeve.
"Put my legs down!"
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't attack me or run away."
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Miss!" The male supervisor finally came to her.
Xia Cheng stared at his hand as he reached into his pocket, ready to be stabbed.
The male supervisor smiled embarrassedly.
"No, what are you laughing at? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to do, do it quickly." Xia Cheng's shout stunned the male supervisor.
"Oh... OK, OK." The male supervisor pulled his phone from his pocket, revealing a green QR code. He rubbed the back of his head and said, "Um, can I add you as a friend?"
"ha?"

"Hahahahahaha, so you think we are here to kill you!" Wan Ke sat in the director's office, slapping the table and laughing, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became obvious.
After the commotion just now, the injured Xia Cheng was brought to his office by him. To express his apology, the director arranged for someone to send fruits and medicine.
Xia Cheng refused to let the middle-aged man, who was almost fifty years old, kneel down to apply medicine on her. She gently wiped the wound on her knee with iodine. She always felt that Wan Ke's name was very familiar, but she didn't know where she had heard it.
The director, sitting on the hard bench in the office, also laughed awkwardly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his supervisor also laughing, so he turned around and glared at him, and then spoke in a faint voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I asked you to send a coupon, but you're making such a fuss! You dare to touch Mr. Wan's people?"
The supervisor hung his head in grievance.
"I don't know."
"You guys go out first." Wan Ke waved his hand. Seeing them walk to the door, he instructed, "Ask the secretary to send over a new pair of women's shoes, size 37, silver flat sandals."
