723: Chapter 724: Face Trampling 723: Chapter 724: Face Trampling Suddenly, the store manager’s expression beca extrely respectful, and she approached him, “Sir, may I ask what I can help you with?”
Seeing the store manager being so respectful, Aya couldn’t help but disdainfully curl her lip.
Just a poor wretch, was all that necessary?
“One of your sales associates insulted by saying I couldn’t afford a single piece of clothing; I would like to know by what standards you judge whether a custor can afford clothes or not.
If you can’t give a satisfying answer today, perhaps I should invite so reporters to interview your store.” Hao Jian answered expressionlessly.
At those words, the store manager was instantly alard.
A person who could wear a watch worth tens of millions, how could they not afford clothes from their store?
Their clothing was indeed pricey and a foreign brand, but it wasn’t considered top-tier luxury.
Logically, Hao Jian should look down on their brand.
It would be their fortune to catch his eye, but it could end up offending such an influential figure due to one sales associate’s foolishness.
If he really made a fuss and spent so money to have journalists write nonsense about it, the store’s reputation would be utterly ruined.
When the higher-ups investigated, she would not be able to escape bla either.
Thinking this, she felt so anger rising and glared at Aya, “Aya, apologize to this gentleman imdiately!”
“What?
Manager, are you kidding?” Aya couldn’t believe it.
The manager was actually asking her to apologize to these paupers?
If it had been before, the manager indeed wouldn’t have said much to her, but unfortunately, Aya lacked the vision to see that Hao Jian was an extrely wealthy tycoon and thus offended her.
In that case, the manager could no longer protect her.
“Hurry up!
Where is your professional ethic when you insult a custor?” the manager rebuked angrily.
“But I didn’t say anything wrong!
Aren’t they just dead poor?” Aya insisted stubbornly, annoyed inside, not understanding why the manager was making such a big fuss.
“Dead poor?” The store manager let out a cold laugh.
“The watch on this gentleman’s wrist alone is worth your lifeti’s effort—a Vacheron Constantin latest model, ten million each.
Such a person is poor to you?”
“What?” Aya’s face changed dramatically.
Hao Jian’s watch was worth ten million, but he looked so shabby.
“Impossible.
If he really were that rich, why would he be dressed so shabbily?” Aya couldn’t believe it and tried to argue further.
“That’s low-key.
The richer the person is, the more low-key they tend to be, you know nothing!” The manager chastised rudely.
“How do you know that’s a Vacheron Constantin?
Maybe you’re mistaken?” Aya still stubbornly argued, knowing that admitting Hao Jian was a rich man would not only humiliate her but also possibly get her fired.
“Mistaken?
You think I am like you?” The manager sneered in extre anger.
She was chosen as the store manager precisely because of her sharp insight into fashion.
It was for this reason that she often read fashion magazines, to enhance her taste, and now Aya dared to question her observational skills?
“That…
that watch of his could also be fake, manager.
Don’t be fooled by him!” Aya said anxiously, thinking of this possibility.
Maybe Hao Jian’s watch was counterfeit to deceive them?
Hearing this, Hao Jian couldn’t help but laugh coldly, pulling out a Black Card from his pocket: “Even if watches can be counterfeited, I don’t think Black Cards can be easily faked.
You can try swiping it to see if this Black Card is real or not!”
Seeing the Black Card Hao Jian produced, Aya was petrified on the spot.
Of course, she knew what a Black Card was—only super-rich people had such things, which ordinary people couldn’t afford.
“No need, I believe in your identity, sir,” the store manager said, no need to verify anything.
Hao Jian’s self-assured attitude had already said it all.
“Since it’s proven that I can afford these clothes, then your store must give an explanation.
Why did you mock ?
Is it a case of the store bullying the custor?” Hao Jian said expressionlessly.
“If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, then there’s no need for your store to stay open any longer.
If you don’t believe it, just try and see!”
“Aya, you don’t need to co to work tomorrow!” The store manager, naturally understanding what Hao Jian ant, directly scolded Aya with a cold face.
“Manager, I…” Aya was imdiately panicked.
She had begged many people to land this good job, which paid quite a lot.
She couldn’t bear to let it go.
“No need for words.
If you have any explanations, give them to this gentleman,” the manager turned her head away, not wanting to be implicated because of Aya.
“Sir, I’m sorry, I was blind.
Please be magnanimous and forgive this once,” Aya begged, her face about to cry, as she approached Hao Jian.
“Kneel down and apologize to my mother!” Hao Jian ordered coldly.
Such a snobbish woman deserved a lesson.
Hesitating for a mont, Aya then knelt down humiliatingly and kowtowed to the old lady, her eyes reddening and her voice choked with sobs, “Old lady, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way.
I won’t ever do it again, please let your son not fire .”
The old lady was also shocked, but ultimately tender-hearted, and quickly helped Aya up: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.
As long as you know you’re wrong.
The old lady doesn’t bla you!”
Imdiately, the old lady turned and looked at Hao Jian, “Zhijun, let it go, this young girl has also had a hard ti, don’t make it difficult for her.
She knows she was wrong now.”
The old lady was also very pleased in her heart, her son had indeed made sothing of himself, even being treated like a VIP when buying clothes and having the authority to fire anyone.
Plus, didn’t that sales associate just ntion that her son’s watch was ten million?
How much money was that?
“You should be grateful that the old lady pleaded for you today!” Hao Jian snorted coldly, then did not make things difficult for Aya anymore.
So people, they just need to have their faces thoroughly stepped on before they’re satisfied.
“Are you not going to scram to the back?” The shop manager scolded without any kindness, telling Aya to beat it.
At this mont, where would Aya dare to say half a no, hurriedly got up and left, heading towards the back.
Then the shop manager personally chose clothes for the old lady, calling her “auntie” affectionately one mont after another.
But when it ca ti to pay, it turned out that all the clothes and pants together actually cost tens of thousands of yuan.
“Hello, sir, the total is seventy thousand yuan!” said the shop manager.
“What?
Seventy thousand yuan?
That’s too expensive, I don’t want it.” The old lady was imdiately startled, shaking her head hurriedly, not wanting it anymore, that was too expensive, the thought of spending it was too distressing.
Hao Jian imdiately gave the shop manager a look, and the shop manager imdiately understood, saying, “Ah, I read it wrong, it’s seven thousand yuan.”
“That’s what I thought, how could a few clothes possibly be so expensive, but seven thousand is still expensive,” said the old lady.
“Grandma, you don’t need to worry, my dad is rich, he doesn’t care about this little amount of money.” Vivian said with a bitter smile.
“Dad?” The shop manager was also stunned.
Hao Jian looked to be in his early twenties, but Vivian was already sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was calling Hao Jian dad?
Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?
Could it be that Hao Jian was doing that sort of thing when he was eight or nine years old?
But though puzzled, she didn’t dare to ask more about it.
“Well, okay then,” the old lady finally agreed with so reluctance.
After swiping the card, Hao Jian left the boutique with the old lady and the others.
Before they left, the shop manager enthusiastically offered him a mbership card.
“Zhijun, your watch is worth ten million?” At that mont, the old lady was still staring at Hao Jian’s watch.
Hao Jian, with a wry smile, knew the old lady was worried about the money, but with no choice, had to admit, “Indeed, it’s ten million.”
“You prodigal child, wouldn’t a watch of a few hundred yuan do?
Why buy such an expensive one, burning money like you!” the old lady said angrily.
Their family had always been in straitened circumstances, so they had always been frugal.
So seeing Hao Jian spend so much money just on a watch was very painful for her.
“Grandma, my dad is rich!” Vivian also consoled.
“No matter how rich, you can’t spend money like that.”
“It’s for when he goes out to et people, and when talking business with clients.
If the watch you wear is too cheap, people will look down on you, then who would want to cooperate with you?”
“Oh, I see.
But you must not buy such an expensive watch again in the future,” the old lady said, deciding not to say any more on the matter.
“No more buying, never again,” Hao Jian said, on the verge of tears.
If he were to buy it again next ti, wouldn’t he be scolded to death?
Back at the hotel after making sure the old lady was asleep, Hao Jian then returned to his own room to prepare for bed.
Passing by Vivian’s room, he glanced inside before continuing past and returning to his room.
anwhile, Vivian, leaning against the door of her own room, was also straining her ears, listening.
Only after hearing the sound of Hao Jian closing his door, did she finally leap up in body and spirit and jump out the window, agilely making her way down to the first floor.
Little did she know, as she did all this, Hao Jian was watching her from his own room’s window, his eyes sparkling with sharpness, but he did not follow her, instead just watched her disappear into the Night Color………………………………………………………………………………..
