Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1542 - 1516: The Manager Steps In to Save the Day

"Brother Ye Chen, let’s go, let’s shop somewhere else."

Fan Ying felt that the items here were really too expensive.

She was really embarrassed to let Ye Chen spend such money for her.

"Yingying, look at this necklace, do you like it?"

Ye Chen pointed at the new necklace inside the counter.

Fan Ying saw the price and quickly said.

"I’m not particularly fond of it, let’s check out other stores."

Ye Chen knew Fan Ying didn’t dislike it; she only said that because she saw the price.

Having seen Zhang Shuang’s attitude towards Ye Chen earlier, the female clerk thought Ye Chen couldn’t afford it, so she didn’t hold much hope.

Therefore, her service to Ye Chen and Fan Ying was half-hearted.

When Ye Chen said to take out the necklace, the female clerk rudely said.

"Sir, this necklace is expensive. If you damage or dirty it, you’ll need to compensate."

In the clerk’s eyes, Ye Chen and his company were just there to admire, unable to buy.

Fan Ying hurriedly spoke up when she heard.

"Brother Ye Chen, I think we should just forget it."

After the female clerk took out the necklace, Ye Chen handed it to Fan Ying and said.

"Yingying, give it a try."

Thinking about the price of the necklace, Fan Ying’s hand trembled.

"Miss, let me help you try it on."

The female clerk said tensely.

She had mentioned earlier about compensation if damaged or dirtied.

But looking at these customers, they didn’t seem able to afford compensation.

If that indeed happened, she might face a penalty from the boss.

Upon hearing the female clerk’s suggestion, Fan Ying nodded.

The saying ’clothes make the man’ proved true, with the necklace on Fan Ying’s fair neck enhancing her aura.

Ye Chen looked at Fan Ying, pleased, and nodded.

"Brother Ye Chen, do I look nice?"

Fan Ying, feeling shy under Ye Chen’s gaze, her pretty face flushed red.

The female clerk didn’t comment, thinking what’s the use of looking nice, as they couldn’t afford it and trying it out would be pointless.

"Very beautiful."

Ye Chen praised.

Then he turned to the female clerk and said.

"Does this series have matching bracelets or rings?"

Upon hearing, the female clerk coldly replied.

"Of course."

"Get them out for me to see."

Ye Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, the female clerk grew more aggravated, thinking how greedy they were, not satisfied after trying one necklace and wanting to try more.

Ye Chen certainly knew the clerk’s thoughts but didn’t care.

The more such people behaved this way, the more he wanted to teach them a lesson.

"Sir, the series you fancy is our store’s new arrival, priced high. I suggest you look at other styles."

Before Ye Chen could speak, Fan Ying hurriedly said.

"Please remove the necklace; we’ll check other stores."

Fan Ying understood the clerk’s meaning, that they looked down on them.

"Yingying, since you like it, why not try it?"

Ye Chen spoke, then turned to the female clerk.

"Please do as I ask."

"Sir, I’m thinking of you. This series is new, with a very high price, hard for usual customers to bear. I’m just suggesting."

The female clerk explained.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we’re here to see the new arrivals."

Ye Chen said decisively.

The female clerk didn’t move, saying.

"If you’re broke, don’t pretend here. I don’t have the time to waste with you."

If the clerk had been polite, Ye Chen might have let it go.

But she spoke this way to customers, angering Ye Chen.

"What’s your attitude? Do you know I can complain about you?"

Ye Chen said coldly.

Though afraid, the female clerk still refused to fetch the jewelry for Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye Chen, let’s just leave."

Fan Ying pulled Ye Chen’s arm.

"Sir, see how sensible this little miss is. People should know their limits, not bite off more than they can chew."

The female clerk looked at Ye Chen.

"Call your manager here. I want to ask him if this is how your store serves customers."

Ye Chen said angrily.

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked out.

"Why all the noise? What’s happening?"

The middle-aged man frowned.

"Manager, this gentleman insisted on seeing our new arrivals. I kindly advised him, given the high prices, which aren’t affordable for most."

After hearing, the manager hastily reprimanded the female clerk.

"Xiaomei, remember in the service industry, always prioritize the customer, got it?"

The female clerk, not understanding why the manager blamed her, said with a pitiful face.

"Manager, this man can’t afford these jewels; I’m just thinking for them."

The female clerk reasoned.

"Manager, is this how you train your staff?"

Ye Chen sneered icily.

"Sir, truly sorry; I’ll educate this employee well. Please don’t be upset."

Other employees couldn’t grasp why the manager was courteous to this young man.

They were puzzled, especially since the manager favored Xiaomei greatly.

Seeing Ye Chen silent, the manager continued.

"Sir, the employee is new and clueless of rules; let me serve you instead."

"Manager, so this is it? Because of this clerk, I’m in a bad mood. Don’t you owe me an explanation?"

Ye Chen spoke up again.

"Sir, don’t press further. What qualifies you for the manager’s service? Know that only VIP customers have that privilege."

The female clerk complained.

"Xiaomei, shut up. I now announce you’re fired."

The middle-aged man angrily stated.

He understood Ye Chen’s thinking, knowing that without firing Xiaomei, the issue wouldn’t resolve.

The female clerk couldn’t understand the manager’s treatment and angrily cried.

The manager signaled other clerks to take Xiaomei aside and said he’d personally tend to Ye Chen.

"Sir, let me show you our new products."

The manager, while speaking, took the series of jewelry from the counter to present them to Ye Chen.

"Yingying, hurry, try them on."

Ye Chen gestured the jewelry to Fan Ying.

As the manager was male, he signaled other female clerks to help Fan Ying wear them.

With the full set on, Fan Ying shone with brilliance.

Standing aside, Xiaomei curled her lips, thinking they surely couldn’t afford it.

She was ready to see Ye Chen’s embarrassment.
