CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 473 MANAGE YOURSELF

Realizing that something was wrong, Bai Jie restrained her secret delight and angrily shouted, "Is this your professional ethics as a salesperson? Is this how your store trains you?"

Upon hearing this, the salesperson became even more arrogant and said, "Oh! I say, young lady, don’t mistake a good person for a bad one!"

"I’m doing this for your own good. Marrying anyone is better than marrying a poor guy! If you don’t listen now, you’ll regret it in the future!"

Seeing her becoming more and more rude, Zhang Dadan couldn’t hold back any longer and angrily said, "Damn it! Are you looking for trouble? What I buy doesn’t concern you at all. If you have the guts, don’t sell things for two hundred bucks then!"

The salesperson sneered disdainfully, took back the few Jade Buddha Cards on the counter, and put them back in the display case.

"I don’t think you’re here to buy anything; maybe you’re here to rob!" The salesperson, after securing the items, glanced at Zhang Dadan and spouted nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie, feeling indignant, said, "This is maliciously damaging someone else’s reputation. We have the right to sue you!"

As an ignorant of the law, the salesperson naturally didn’t believe that a casual remark could break the law. She gave Bai Jie an annoyed look and retorted,

"Go ahead! Sue me if you dare! If you don’t have money, don’t come to our store and waste my time!"

Seeing his attitude so atrocious, Zhang Dadan was thoroughly enraged and yelled at the other salespersons in the store, "Where’s your boss? Call your boss out here..."

The other two salespersons, seeing Zhang Dadan wanting to find their boss, not only didn’t help him but also pretended not to hear and turned a blind eye.

The salesperson arguing with Bai Jie, seeing that no one responded to Zhang Dadan’s words, became more smug and sneered,

"The loudest voices in this world belong to the poor! But what use is a loud voice? Even if a rich person farts, it’s more useful than a poor person yelling!"

Just as she was feeling triumphant, a middle-aged man with a big belly came in from outside and asked, "What’s going on? I could hear your arguing from far away!"

Seeing this, the salesperson became slightly nervous but then immediately accused, "Boss, it’s these two!"

"They not only can’t afford to buy anything but also keep arguing with me, saying our store’s goods are worthless!"

The boss, not knowing the situation, suddenly got furious and roared, "Nonsense! Everything in my shop is genuine..."

Before he could finish cursing, he recognized Zhang Dadan, quickly silenced himself, rushed over, and smiling apologetically toward Zhang Dadan, said, "Boss Zhang, I’m really sorry! I didn’t realize it was you!"

The salesperson behind the counter, seeing the boss like this, was instantly dumbfounded. What’s going on? Does this poor guy know the boss? Is he also a boss?

Zhang Dadan didn’t know the jewelry store’s boss. Seeing him so enthusiastic, he had to suppress his anger for now and asked, "And you are?"

The jewelry store boss laughed heartily and said, "Boss Zhang, you might not have met me, but I often eat at your Jiji!"

Hearing that he was a regular at his place, Zhang Dadan became more polite and said, "Oh, I see! My apologies, my apologies! May I ask your distinguished name?"

"My surname is Zheng, Zheng Shaohua..." the jewelry store boss replied politely.

The salesperson, upon learning that Zhang Dadan was the boss of Jiji, was even more astonished and looked at him in disbelief.

The salesperson was also a resident of the town and had long heard that the food at Jiji was very delicious but had never been willing to go in and try it.

She had also heard that Jiji had, in less than a month, surpassed Juxian Inn to become the hottest restaurant in town, earning a lot of money every day.

And this supposedly poor guy in front of her was actually the boss of Jiji? The boss of Jiji came to buy the cheapest Jade Buddha Card?

"Bo...boss, you must have mistaken him for someone else! He...he could only afford something worth two hundred bucks!" the salesperson said, dumbfounded.

The jewelry store boss, hearing the salesperson speak, turned to Zhang Dadan and asked, "Boss Zhang, what exactly is going on here?"

"What’s going on? Your salesperson here is very arrogant! As soon as she heard I wanted to buy something cheap, she changed her attitude and started mocking me!" Zhang Dadan responded coldly.

"Little Fang! What exactly happened here? How did I teach you?" the jewelry store boss angrily scolded.

Little Fang, still in a fog, was frightened when the boss suddenly got angry with her. If she got fired again, no one would dare to hire her anymore!

"Bo...boss, let me explain, it’s not like that! They...they are slandering me!" Little Fang argued.

The jewelry store boss had some understanding of Little Fang’s character before hiring her, but seeing her young, he wanted to give her another chance.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t change her ways, still judging people by their appearance and offending customers. If he kept her, wouldn’t she ruin the store’s reputation?

"Little Fang! There’s no need to say more! I have a good understanding of Boss Zhang’s character. You should go home now!" the jewelry store boss said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Little Fang panicked and pleaded, "Boss, I know I was wrong... please give me one more chance!"

Zhang Dadan originally didn’t like hitting someone when they were down, but this salesperson was too excessive, mocking him right to his face. If she didn’t get a lesson, who knows who she might offend in the future!

"Mr. Zheng, I’m not a petty person, but this salesperson of yours is really too much!" Zhang Dadan said bluntly, adding fuel to the fire.

Zheng Shaohua, hearing this, gave Little Fang a stern look and said, "I can’t keep you in my store anymore. You should take care of yourself!"

Little Fang, who had a college degree but couldn’t find a job in the city after graduating, had to return to Stone Town to make a living.

Although she wasn’t very capable, she prided herself on having gone to college, always looking down on poor people, and often judged customers by their wealth.

Initially, she had been polite to Zhang Dadan not because she saw he was rich but because he was accompanied by a pretty girl.

In her view, men were face-conscious and wouldn’t act stingy in front of a beautiful woman, giving her a chance to make a sale.

But when Zhang Dadan asked her how much the cheapest Jade Buddha Card was after selecting a few, it triggered her sensitive nerves.

Poor and still so stingy in front of his girlfriend, wasn’t he wasting her time?

Even if she sold something worth two hundred bucks, she’d only get a ten yuan commission. For such a small amount, should she keep flattering him?

In her indignation, Little Fang reverted to her old ways and quarreled with Zhang Dadan. In her view, a poor guy would surely be sensitive and self-abased, and she could drive him away with some harsh words.

But Zhang Dadan not only argued with her but also called the boss over. Even more shocking was finding out this poor-looking person was actually the boss of Jiji!

Feeling things were going wrong, Little Fang had no choice but to admit her mistake and plead with her boss. But her boss, to save face for Zhang Dadan, was determined to fire her, which she couldn’t accept.

After angrily leaving, Little Fang dialed Spares Brother’s number, asking him to bring people to the cold noodle shop in the town center.

This Spares Brother, although only had elementary school education, was clever and capable, running a successful fish stall in the market.
