Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1543 - 1517: A Lesson Learned
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen looked at Fan Ying in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir, this set of jewelry seems to be custom-made for this young lady."
The store manager praised.
Fan Ying’s expression was a bit shy upon hearing this.
It was the first time someone had praised her like this, and she also felt that wearing this set of jewelry made her seem like a different person.
"Yingying, aren’t the ring and bracelet sizes a bit too large?"
Ye Chen looked at Fan Ying and said.
Initially, Xiaomei thought Ye Chen was using this as an excuse to save face.
She mocked him with a sneer.
"If you can’t afford it, just say so, why bother making up so many excuses?"
Ye Chen didn’t pay attention to her, instead, he looked at the store manager and said.
"Find me a set that fits this girl’s size."
Before the store manager could speak, Fan Ying quickly said.
"Brother Ye Chen, this is too expensive, I don’t want it."
At this moment, Fan Ying finally spoke her mind.
"Sir, do you still want me to find it?"
The store manager asked upon hearing this.
Both the gentleman and the lady in front of him were customers, and he didn’t know whom to listen to.
"Of course, please hurry, we’re short on time."
Ye Chen knew they couldn’t return too late so as not to worry Teacher Fan and his wife.
Because of Fan Ying, the two of them started shopping as soon as they entered the mall and hadn’t had dinner yet.
Looking at the time, it was already past eight.
Fan Ying nudged Ye Chen’s arm and said.
"Brother Ye Chen, shall we go for a meal?"
"Yingying, since you like it, why would you want to leave?"
Ye Chen said.
Helplessly, Fan Ying had no choice but to wait for the store manager.
She really liked this set of jewelry, but she also knew that if Ye Chen were to pay for her,
she would surely be blamed by her father and mother when she returned to the hospital.
At this moment, the store manager came over holding the entire set of jewelry.
He smiled as he looked at Fan Ying and said.
"Miss, let our clerk help you try it on to see if the size fits?"
Fan Ying nodded and obediently allowed the female clerk to put the entire set of jewelry on her.
"Hmm, not bad, this will do."
Ye Chen said with a smile, then handed his bank card to the store manager.
Initially, the store manager was about to ask whether he wanted to pay by card or mobile payment.
Before he could finish speaking, a bank card appeared before him.
Ye Chen’s actions also startled Xiaomei.
She never dreamed that Ye Chen could actually afford this set of jewelry.
Looking at Ye Chen and the ordinary girl beside him, she couldn’t associate them with wealthy people at all.
"Sir, please take your card."
The store manager handed the bank card to Ye Chen with both hands.
Not only Xiaomei but even the other clerks were shocked.
Previously, they couldn’t understand why the store manager would be so polite to this young man, it turned out they were standing in front of a wealthy customer.
They even thought the store manager had eyes as sharp as a hawk to see through it so thoroughly.
Ye Chen took the bank card and casually put it in his bag.
"Miss, shall I wrap this set of jewelry for you?"
The store manager smiled at Fan Ying and said.
"Okay, thank you."
Fan Ying smiled and nodded.
The female clerk was about to remove the bracelet from Fan Ying’s wrist when Ye Chen spoke up to stop her.
"No need to bother, we’ll just wear them out."
The store manager didn’t expect Ye Chen to say this, knowing the set of jewelry was worth millions.
He was so casual about it.
"Alright, here’s the packaging bag, please take it."
The store manager handed the jewelry box and packaging bag to Ye Chen.
"We don’t need it, you can keep it, saves me from having to throw it in the trash."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he left with Fan Ying.
Watching the two leave, the store manager and the clerks’ eyes widened.
After all, most of the customers coming to their store were wealthy, though some were there just for window shopping.
However, they had never seen someone as extravagant as Ye Chen; knowing this jewelry box was worth quite a bit, yet Ye Chen said he would toss it in the trash.
After Ye Chen and Fan Ying left, the store manager looked at the clerks and said.
"Did you see? We should treat every customer warmly and not judge by appearances."
Then he looked at Xiaomei and said.
"Xiaomei, you know we almost missed out on a big client because of you. That gentleman spent millions on the jewelry, and encountering such a wealthy person is a rare occasion."
The store manager was also somewhat scared; if he hadn’t stepped in to smooth things over, it would have affected sales and someone like Ye Chen who spends millions on jewelry for a girl is not someone to be messed with.
The clerk named Xiaomei also felt very ashamed; she indeed judged him poorly earlier.
She was more worried now that Ye Chen might complain and she could lose her job.
"Store manager, I know I was wrong, it won’t happen again."
Xiaomei said shamefully.
"Alright, this is what you call learning from your mistakes. If that gentleman had pressed the issue, even I couldn’t save you."
The store manager said to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei remained silent; today’s incident was something she would never forget.
"Brother Ye Chen, is it really okay for me to wear this jewelry like this?"
Fan Ying looked at Ye Chen and said.
"What’s wrong with it? I think it looks great."
Ye Chen said with a smile, examining Fan Ying up and down.
"If my dad finds out you spent so much on me, he’ll definitely blame me again."
Fan Ying pouted and said.
"Silly girl, if you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, how would they know?"
Actually, Ye Chen didn’t want the jewelry box because it was cumbersome, also, the box appeared very expensive, naturally, Teacher Fan and his wife would know the jewelry’s price.
After Ye Chen’s words, Fan Ying felt relieved.
Knowing that only she and Ye Chen were aware of this incident, she certainly wouldn’t say anything, and Ye Chen definitely wouldn’t spread the word.
"Brother Ye Chen, you’re so good to me."
Fan Ying said, holding Ye Chen’s arm.
"Of course, you’re the teacher’s daughter, and the teacher was kind to me, so I must be good to you."
Ye Chen said, patting Fan Ying’s head.
"Is that the only reason? Is there no other reason?"
Fan Ying asked with a somewhat disappointed expression.
Just then, Ye Chen’s phone rang, and he glanced at it, seeing it was a call from Su Wanyi.
Ye Chen thought, oh no, he hadn’t informed Su Wanyi that he was back this afternoon.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell her; he was busy going straight to the hospital upon arrival and had forgotten to inform her.
Ye Chen knew that Su Wanyi would certainly blame him when she found out.
