CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: SARCASTIC

Jiang Wan’s words were very useful to Zhou Kuangyu.

Men, indeed, really enjoy this kind of flattery from women.

Of course, Zhou Kuangyu had never planned to send Jiang Wan home, after all, he had other work-related matters to attend to later.

For such a trivial matter as sending a woman home, Zhou Kuangyu always disdained doing it.

After all, given his status, there was no need for him to win any woman’s affection.

It was always women who approached him to curry favor, and he would never do anything that lowered his status.

The clerk was incredibly fast at issuing the invoice; during their conversation, it only took about one or two minutes to get it ready.

She looked at the two of them and felt they didn’t seem very trustworthy, fearing that if she delayed any longer, the duck in hand might fly away, so she hurriedly finished the invoice and handed it to Zhou Kuangyu.

Zhou Kuangyu just received the invoice.

Then he heard the clerk hastily say:

"Sir, hello, the cashier is just a left turn ahead."

"We handle payments centrally at the cashier, so please kindly proceed there."

There was nothing wrong with the clerk’s words.

But it was obvious that there was a hint of urging.

Zhou Kuangyu couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times.

Zhou Kuangyu saw right through this clerk’s little thoughts.

She was just afraid he would change his mind and not buy the recommended big gold bracelet, causing her sales for the day to fall through.

If he couldn’t even see through these little thoughts, his years in the marketplace would have been for nothing.

Zhou Kuangyu speechlessly tugged at his mouth and smiled, but after all, she was a worker, and he had countless subordinates under him, so he couldn’t bear to make things difficult for the clerk.

He then silently curled his lips, glanced at the invoice in his hand, and turned to the cashier.

Jiang Wan didn’t follow; she remained in the gold store, holding the gold bracelet the clerk had just handed her, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Thinking that once Zhou Kuangyu finished paying and returned with the receipt, this gold bracelet would be hers, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

Jiang Wan’s eyes shifted, and she looked up to see Zhou Kuangyu smiling at the clerk just moments ago.

Jiang Wan suddenly felt a sense of crisis arise.

It was the first time she paid close attention to this clerk who had served her for two days.

She suddenly realized the clerk was quite pretty; despite her plain uniform, she had some charm.

She looked young, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six, and recalling how Zhou Kuangyu looked at her, Jiang Wan couldn’t help but overthink things.

Maybe Zhou Kuangyu fancied this woman, otherwise, why would he smile at her?

Just thinking about it felt quite odd.

For a man like him, always so cold and indifferent, after so many days of interaction, Jiang Wan had never once seen Zhou Kuangyu laugh heartily.

Jiang Wan instantly felt her suspicion might have some basis.

Her sense of crisis came up immediately, fearing that this clerk might steal away the big opportunity she had worked so hard to seize.

Jiang Wan immediately glared at the clerk, thought for a moment, and then said in a mocking tone:

"Oh, this big gold bracelet is really beautiful!"

"You saw it, right? That man earlier is my new boyfriend. He’s a big boss from the provincial capital, with a wealthy family business."

"If I weren’t young, pretty, and stylish, with a bit of charm, he certainly wouldn’t have taken a liking to me."

"People should be self-aware and not try to flirt with someone else’s outstanding boyfriend, right? You’re not more important than you think, are you?"

Jiang Wan appeared to be chatting with the clerk, but in fact, every word from her mouth was barbed.

Jiang Wan assumed that it would take Zhou Kuangyu a bit of time to finish at the counter, after all, from their store, one could see the scene at the cashier, and it was currently the noon rush hour, so there were quite a few people shopping in the mall.

Plus, today being the weekend, the mall was even more crowded than usual.

She keenly observed that Zhou Kuangyu was still standing in line over there, probably taking at least seven or eight minutes before he could return.

So, at this moment, Jiang Wan dared to have such a bold confrontation with the clerk.

It was really just because Zhou Kuangyu would take a while to return, and whatever she said now, he wouldn’t hear it.

Therefore, she wanted to use this opportunity to give the clerk a good lesson.

So she wouldn’t, with her bit of charm, go arbitrarily flirting with someone else’s man, how shameless that would be!

Then, Jiang Wan took a breath and continued:

"You’ve heard what I said, right? I don’t mean anything else, just wanted to chat with you for a bit. I’m feeling a bit upset."

"The other day, when I was shopping with my boyfriend, we ran into one of the clerks in your mall."

"She was young, all dolled up, seeing my boyfriend as a wealthy guy, and shamelessly tried to cling on."

"If I hadn’t caught her in time and slapped her twice, my man might have been lured away by her."

"Can you imagine how shameless this woman was? Even knowing someone else’s girlfriend was right there next to her, she still winked at the guy. If it weren’t for the crowd, I would have given her due respect, otherwise, I would have smashed her mouth!"

"Don’t you think such a person deserves to be taught a lesson?"

The clerk wasn’t stupid; naturally, she could hear the hidden meaning in Jiang Wan’s words.

The clerk’s temper flared up, but she still had some reason, knowing she had this job now.

So, for her own interests, she couldn’t just casually argue with Jiang Wan.

Otherwise, if the two of them decided not to buy the bracelet after all, she would lose her commission for the month.

Thus, the clerk really just couldn’t be bothered with Jiang Wan, thinking that broken man, who would be interested in competing for him?

It was only this woman who treated him like a treasure.
