After the old man left, the assistants handled the follow-up matters and congratulated Huo Beichen.
Over the years, Huo Beichen has suffered a lot of suppression from his father and the board of directors, which they have always felt sorry for.
Huo Beichen nodded slightly, "If this matter is successfully completed, you will all receive a reward. You will be given a 10-day holiday first, and the bonus will be sent to your accounts soon."
"Yay! Thank you, Mr. Huo!" the assistants cheered in unison.
After they left, the meeting room became quiet again.
Huo Beichen sat alone in the conference room, his expression indifferent, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"President Huo is truly amazing. After enduring so many years, he has finally gotten back what he deserved."
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Sun family also likes him very much, and the two of them are getting married soon."
"High-quality men always belong to high-quality women..."
"What, you don't actually think there's a share for you, do you?"
Several female employees walked past the meeting room, chattering away.
Huo Beichen's eyes flickered slightly.
That's right.
He is now enjoying success in both his career and love life.
If he marries Sun Xiaowei, he will receive more support from the Sun family, and in the future he may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lu and Lin families.
These are all things he has always dreamed of.
But why wasn't he as happy as he had expected?
He even felt that something was missing from his heart.
He didn't understand what it was.
...
After arriving at the mall, Chen Lizhen went straight to the top luxury stores.
Once inside the store, she didn't bother to pick and choose, and directly told the salesperson, "Wrap up all the classic and latest styles in your store for me."
The sales clerk glanced at her and said, "All the bags in our store, except for the latest models, are classic styles."
"Then wrap them all up for me." Chen Lizhen waved her hand.
"But some of these items are being selected by our other customers," the salesperson replied.
Chen Lizhen was furious and immediately yelled at the sales clerk, "Do you even have a brain? I said I'm not picky, pack it all up! You're just trying to make money, aren't you?!"
The sales clerk scoffed, "Do you think you're buying vegetables at a market stall? If you buy everything, it'll easily cost nine figures. You can talk about it if you can really afford it."
Anyway, having worked as a saleswoman for so long, she's had her share of encounters with top-tier wealthy women.
That's not how people buy bags.
Moreover, the one in front of us.
She remembered that she had been slapped hundreds of times by her daughter over a new handbag.
"Slap!" Chen Lizhen slapped him hard across the face. "Can't you understand human language?!"
"Why did you hit me!" the saleswoman cried, covering her face.
"I'm not only going to beat you up, I'm going to file a complaint against you and make you lose your job!" Chen Lizhen yelled.
The other sales clerks gathered around, all expressing their indignation at Chen Lizhen's behavior.
"This lady has quite the air about her." Suddenly, a cool voice came from the sofa.
When Chen Lizhen saw it, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
How did I end up running into my nemesis, Yun Suiwan, here?!
Yun Suiwan sat on the sofa, leisurely trimming her nails, and said without looking up, "Ladies, since someone wants to buy it, you should just sell it to them."
"Yes, Miss Yun." The store manager agreed and immediately instructed the sales staff to pack up all the bags in the store.
Watching their skillful packing movements, and then glancing at Yun Suiwan who seemed completely unconcerned, Chen Lizhen felt a bad premonition.
But then I thought, she brought so many cards with her, so swiping these bags shouldn't be a problem.
I felt much more at ease then.
"Hello," the sales clerk said, "all the bags you requested have been packed. Here is the total amount for your purchase."
The salesperson entered a string of numbers on the electronic screen.
To be honest, this string of numbers is a bit scary.
But when she thought about how these things might be her retirement savings, Chen Lizhen felt they weren't enough.
She still has most of her life ahead of her, so this amount of money will just be enough for her needs.
"Swipe the card!" Chen Lizhen handed over a card first, "Swipe this one for 6 million."
The sales clerk took her card and performed a series of operations.
"Beep beep!" The card reader emitted an alarm sound.
Chen Lizhen's heart skipped a beat.
The salesperson tried twice more, but it still emitted a "beep beep" alarm sound.
"Ma'am, this card of yours..."
"You swipe this one." Before the other person could finish speaking, Chen Lizhen immediately handed over another card.
Yun Suiwan is not far away; she can't afford to lose face like that.
So she simply gave all the cards she had brought with her to the salesperson and let them swipe them at their leisure.
One.
One.
Another one.
The beeping sound kept ringing out.
The salesperson's patience was gradually worn down.
Chen Lizhen's face gradually turned pale.
She didn't understand. No matter what, the Huo family should still be operating normally at this time, so why couldn't these bank cards be used?
After swiping the last card, the sales clerk got the same result. She couldn't take it anymore and slammed the bank card on the table: "This is a complete scam! I'm calling the police!"
Chen Lizhen knew she was in the wrong, but she couldn't lose face.
She's a member of the Huo family, after all. How could she be subdued by a mere sales clerk?!
"I'm here to make a purchase, and you're calling the police to arrest me? This is outrageous!" she retorted sharply, confronting the sales clerk.
“You have our entire store serving you, but in the end you don’t pay. You pay for your own housekeeper, but you’re just here to freeload VIP service!” The saleswoman wasn’t afraid of her at all.
The other sales clerks also came over and confronted Chen Lizhen together.
"You said you wanted to buy them all, so all our colleagues packed them up for you, and all the other VIPs were asked to leave. Who will bear this loss?"
"You have no money but you still want to buy a bag? Are you trying to scam me?"
"She's probably trying to stage an accident in our store. If someone bumps into her and injures her, she'll offer to compensate with a handbag!"
"At your age, you still have the nerve to do this? Don't you have any shame?"
"Stop arguing with her, call the police!"
The store manager made a quick decision and picked up the phone.
Chen Lizhen panicked and reached for the phone, yelling, "Don't call the police! Don't!"
However, the sales clerks stepped forward together and blocked the store manager behind them.
Chen Lizhen tried to grab it but couldn't, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, she caught sight of Yun Suiwan on the sofa.
There's no other way.
She could only plead with Yun Suiwan: "Yun Suiwan, please stop them! If this gets out of hand, it won't look good for anyone!"
Yun Suiwan's gaze remained fixed on her fingernails as she asked unhurriedly, "Whose face doesn't look good? Anyway, my face hasn't been affected at all."
"I'm Yun Wanqing's mother, after all. Are you really going to just stand by and watch her die?!"
Yun Suiwan chuckled, "You're starting to use moral blackmail now. It's a pity, there's no affection between Yun Wanqing and me whatsoever."
"Besides, she's not my mother's biological daughter; at best, she's just an illegitimate child who lived in the Yun family."
Chen Lizhen's face turned pale. It seemed that Yun Suiwan wouldn't help her!
