Chapter 82 - Offending Someone You Can’t Afford to Offend
Luo Chenxi was extremely stunned as well when she saw the person who just walked in.
It was not Mu Yichen, but an old man who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties.
“Miss Luo, sorry to have kept you waiting.” The old man nodded at Luo Chenxi.
Luo Chenxi asked in surprise, “May I ask who you are…”
“Alright, stop pretending!” Zuo Xiaoqing interrupted, “Do you know how embarrassing it is now? Haven’t you got any shame when you hooked up with an old man? Young Master Chen has really got to see this, to see how far the prettiest girl back in high school has fallen…”
“That’s enough!” Just then, the shop assistant suddenly raised her voice and cut her off, “Miss Zuo, what are you talking about? Mr. Lin is the manager of our shop!”
“What… what?” Zuo Xiaoqing gasped and widened her eyes, “How is that possible?”
‘Isn’t this old man Luo Chenxi’s sugar daddy?
‘How is he the manager of the shop?’
The shop assistant did not bother wasting any more time on Zuo Xiaoqing and hurriedly went to greet old Mr. Lin. “Manager, are you here for an inspection? Please take a seat, I’ll make you tea…”
However, the shop manager ignored her and continued looking at Luo Chenxi politely.
“Mis Luo, Young Master Mu instructed me to assist you in picking out the fabrics that you like. May I know what you need them for? What kind of style or texture do you prefer? Do you have any special requests?”
Luo Chenxi finally reacted.
‘So this is Mr. Lin, the manager of this fabric shop!’
It would definitely be more efficient to have the manager lead her around personally than scouting out the fabrics on her own.
Luo Chenxi smiled and said, “I’ve already selected some. However, I’ve heard that the best goods aren’t displayed on the shelves. May I have a look at these goods?”
“Yes, of course! It’s my honor for Miss Luo to be interested in the fabrics of our shop! This way, please. Let’s take a seat in the VIP room.”
Zuo Xiaoqing and the shop assistant froze at the scene that unfolded before their eyes.
They never expected the shop manager to treat Luo Chenxi with such respect, so much so that it looked like he was afraid of getting on her bad side!
How could this be possible?
Many famous designers came to the shop before, but the shop manager never once attended to them personally.
Even when it was Sheng Yu, the lead designer of SL Corporation, who came to the shop, the shop manager would only show him around occasionally.
‘Just who exactly is Luo Chenxi? Could her status be higher than that of Sheng Yu?’
Luo Chenxi suddenly thought of something as she walked with Mr. Lin. She turned around and said, “Oh, right, please leave the wrapped up fabrics there, I’ll be back to pay for them later. You aren’t worried about me skimping out on the payment when I’m leaving with your manager, are you?”
“Absolutely not, Miss Luo, you’ve misunderstood! Why would I doubt you like that? I absolutely mean nothing like that!”
The shop assistant finally understood that she had offended someone she could not afford to offend. She quickly changed her way of addressing Luo Chenxi and apologized to her.
Seeing her reaction, Mr. Lin understood the situation a little and immediately snorted. “How many times have I told you to treat every customer with enthusiasm? Did you ignore my orders? If that’s the case, then you are off the job for good!”
The shop assistant’s face instantly turned as pale as porcelain.
Mr. Lin then turned to Zuo Xiaoqing. “And you, miss, you are no longer welcomed in our shop!”
As soon as he finished, he turned to Luo Chenxi without even taking a glimpse at Zuo Xiaoqing. “Miss Luo, what do you think of this method of handling the matter? It’s all because of my bad management that this incident happened today. I sincerely ask that you forgive my mistake.”
Luo Chenxi was surprised to hear that the shop assistant got fired because of what she just said.
It really seemed like Mu Yichen acquired the entire shop in such a short time!
“Mu Yichen…”
Facing such an absurd scene, Luo Chenxi felt like snapping at that evil tyrant.
However, when she thought about how Mu Yichen did all of these for her…
She could not bring herself to say anything.
