Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Depend on Her Husband
"So your staff is bullied by customers during working hours. Are you just going to let it slide? Could you please be at least a bit reasonable?" retorted Li Qianluo without restraint, as Supervisor Yuan's flattery made her sick.
"Supervisor, I can testify that this lady was the one who made trouble in the first place!" Yu Wanwan's voice was low, but it was obvious that she stood by Li Qianluo.
"Even so, you should make every effort to avoid any conflict with customers. I shouldn't have to tell you how to do your job." In comparison, Li Qianluo was nothing to Supervisor Yuan. No matter what the truth was, she would not support an employee at the price of offending the potential buyers.
"You four, do you dare to stay here and wait for my husband?" Disappointed with the supervisor's flattery and her lack of responsibility, Li Qianluo didn't want to waste breath and ignored her.
"Yes, of course. Li Qianluo, we will wait here, even if you don't ask. Who is your old man? You think you can scare us?" Stroking her newly-painted nails, Zheng Linrui watched Li Qianluo with disdain. She had every reason to believe that Li Qianluo's husband was more of an overnight millionaire than a big shot.
The man in SOHO Bar crossed Qi Zeming's mind. Qi Zeming had spent large sum of money investigating, but found nothing about him. The gangster groups even refused to disclose his name. At that moment, Qi Zeming was in a curious mood to see who that man was.
Qi family, Fu family, Zheng family and Luo family are all business tycoons in D City. "If we were to gang up on him, her husband would not stand a chance, " thought Qi Zeming.Li Qianluo
"Old man. Huh. Zheng Linrui, let's wait and see. You are going to regret it, " Li Qianluo thought with a lovely smile. Although Li Qianluo did not know everything about Si Jinheng, she knew she'd better not underestimate him.
Then, a group of people - General Manager and several other senior managers of the Blue Island Mall - entered the Mirade Apparel.
"Ha-ha. Li Qianluo, you did married an old man, just as I expected." Seeing the leading 50-something-year-old bald man, Zheng Linrui burst out laughing.
Although Fu Xinru didn't laugh, the contempt on her face couldn't be disguised. Unlike them, Qi Zeming had one nagging doubt, "The man in the bar is not her husband?"
"Li Qianluo, did you really..." Pointing at the General Manager, the troubled Yu Wanwan was too frightened to finish her words. No! Last time, he didn't sound this old.
"Yu Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Li Qianluo rudely slapped Yu Wanwan on her arm. Her taste could not go so heavy as to marry someone who was even older than her father.
Seeing Li Qianluo's face, Yu Wanwan patted her thumping chest to calm down. Well, false alarm...
"What's going on here?" Stealthily wiping sweat off his face, Xue Wende wondered who was capable of having the CEO's assistant make the call. Xue Wende had met the CEO on his first day in office. In his eyes, that CEO looked like a devil that could even freeze the air around.
Seeing Xue Wende come in person, Supervisor Yuan cast a glance at Li Qianluo with a mixed feeling. Could it be that Li Qianluo was the General Manager's mistress? For a while, the supervisor lost words.
"Mr. Xue, I am Qi Zeming. We have had dinner together several times before." Qi Zeming shook hands with Xue Wende.
"Mr. Xue, I am Fu Xinru. Fu Hongchang is my father." Fu Xinru shook his hands gracefully.
"Mr. Xue, I am Zheng Hang's daughter, Zheng Linrui."
"Mr. Xue, I am Luo Xinxin, the daughter of Luo Jinwei."
...
Sure enough, father is the key in this era. Li Qianluo felt ashamed, for she used to depended on her father. But she has to depend on her husband now.
"Oh, I know you. Mr. Qi, long time no see!" Upon realizing that the conflict arises between four second rich generations and a shopping guide, Xue Wende took it as a piece of cake.
Qi Zeming slightly nodded at Xue Wende. As they had dinner together several times before, Qi Zeming thought that Xue Wende would be on his side.
"You, apologize to our honorable customers right now!" Xue Wende straightened his face to scold Li Qianluo. Seeing the General Manager show no partiality to Li Qianluo, Supervisor Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
"Apologize? Do you know anything about the whole thing? Do you see the red mark on my face? How could you ask me to apologize casually? Are you blind?" argued Li Qianluo loudly. How could a mall attract so many customers while keeping these unreasonable employees? It seemed that Si Jinheng could not solve the problem...
Li Qianluo's remark sent a chill through the employees around, and some of them pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Xue Wende looked furious, as almost no staff dared to talk to him in that way. "What's your name? Who brought you in? You are fired for good!"
The hostile women smirked. "But isn't this manager Li Qianluo's husband? How could he treat her like that?" They looked at each other confusedly.
"Is your CEO blind, too? Fancy his appointing you and Yuan Tingting as managers! All the staff under your leadership will resign sooner or later!" Actually, the Blue Island Mall offered favorable remuneration and benefits to staff two years ago. So a lot of people scrambled for the job opportunity there. After Xue Wende was transferred there, he improperly reduced the staff's salary. Once he caught an employee eating breakfast during working hours, and fined her 500 yuan.
"Yes, CEO is blind absolutely." The familiar voice came from behind. Li Qianluo instantly felt relieved.
Sweat streamed down Xue Wende's face, as he heard the voice. "CEO gets here within such a short period of time, " Xue Wende thought...
Everyone looked towards the direction of the sound, and saw a tall, dignified man in a white shirt, followed by his assistant.
The man ahead looked like the god. As he approached, everyone could feel the aggressive and cold breath. Even a gaze from him would made all of them feel humble.
All the women present went so excited that their heart palpitated. How handsome he is! Oh, my gosh. How could a man be so graceful? Fu Xinru was also stricken dumb, as she saw the man, who was cold, but displayed an extraordinary appearance and temperament.
"Boss, here you come. This shopping guide was so petulant that she even offended the superior. I will soon settle it." Xue Wende bowed and walked towards Si Jinheng. Though being confused about his remark, Xue Wende dared not ask what it meant.
Yun Qi blushed, as Xue Wende brought shame on him. Yun Qi regretted hiring the stupid Xue Wende, who just displeased Mrs. Si and even complained to Boss Si.
"Offended the superior? Mr. Xue, are you out of your mind?" Yun Qi winked at Xue Wende to stop him from talking. That idiot should never annoy CEO further; otherwise, the consequences would be too serious for him to take...
"Er..." Yun Qi's remark confused all the others.
Seeing the evident red mark on Li Qianluo's fair-complexioned face, Si Jinheng radiated a cold gaze.
All of a sudden, his cold gaze brought the Death to Li Qianluo's mind. Without thinking too much, Li Qianluo threw herself into his arms, "Darling, why are you so late?"
