After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 Chapter 228 Resign Yourself

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Resign Yourself! Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Resign Yourself! Although the ribbon was expensive, it was still affordable for Ning Yichu at the moment.

Her expression instantly turned cold, “Which eye of yours saw that I couldn’t afford it?”

“Don’t think I didn’t hear what your daughter said just now, parading around with no money, pretending to be a big shot,” the sales clerk said with disdain, “People of your status should avoid coming to high-end stores like this, you can’t afford it anyway, it’s just laughable!”

Chen Bao was infuriated, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes as he retorted, “Auntie, may I ask what status do you hold then?”

The sales clerk arrogantly lifted her chin, her nostrils flared as she spoke, “Slightly more noble than yours.”

Chen Bao said sarcastically, “Oh, then why are you still working here?”

Ningning laughed at just the right moment, “Auntie is so amazing, I thought she owned the mall!”

The clerk hadn’t expected to be mocked by two kids and was unable to come up with a retort, becoming immediately enraged.

“I’m still better off than your impoverished family, who can’t even afford a silk ribbon, just touching things around here for so long, you’ve even left marks, hurry up and pay for it!”

“You stop talking nonsense, where are there any marks on this?” Even the usually good-tempered Ning Yichu couldn’t help but erupt upon hearing this.

A gleam of cunning flashed in the clerk’s eyes as she picked up the silk ribbon and moved it to reveal a fingerprint.

“Here! Take a good look at this mark, how are we supposed to sell it?”

Ning Yichu had seen shameless people, but never someone who totally abandoned all dignity like this.

Their loud arguments had attracted other customers in the store who began murmuring,

“Tsk, this family really lacks morals, damaging the silk ribbon when they can’t afford it, absolutely no class!”

“That’s true, this sales clerk is just unlucky to meet such customers.”

“If I were them, I’d just pay and leave, really shameful.”

“…”

Seeing everyone on her side made the sales clerk incredibly smug, her lips curling up.

“This silk material is not like any other, it can’t be washed–if it’s dirtied it’s considered damaged. If your family truly can’t afford it, I might condescend to have our store manager allow you to pay in installments!”

Hearing that Ning Yichu owed ten thousand yuan and still needed to pay in installments, the mockery on the customers’ faces grew stronger.

Ning Yichu had originally come just to buy a ribbon for her child.

But now, she was repeatedly humiliated…

She couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to react when suddenly a cold voice came from outside,

“This mall belongs to them, who says they can’t afford it?”

The atmosphere of the scene abruptly quieted as everyone instinctively turned and saw Li Lingyang’s imposing face.

Dressed in a dark suit and accompanied by the autumn breeze, he entered with a forceful aura that instantly commanded the room.

Ning Yichu’s eyes widened in astonishment, Li Lingyang, how did he come?

Li Lingyang, after finishing work that evening, had gone to pick up the kids from school as usual and naturally learned about the need to purchase craft materials. He brought Doudou and Chengcheng to shop, and unexpectedly encountered this situation.

His heart flared with anger, naturally unable to tolerate anyone bullying Ning Yichu and the kids!

The sales clerk froze upon hearing his words, her face full of sarcasm, “Read too many novels? Imagining yourself as Long Aotian, claiming this mall belongs to them? Let me clarify today, our mall’s boss’s last name is Xu, a middle-aged man nearly forty, completely unrelated to this penniless person!”

No sooner had she finished her speech than Special Assistant Xu walked in with President Xu from outside.

The sales clerk was surprised and hurriedly fawned, “President Xu, what brings you here?”

But President Xu didn’t even glance at her, walking straight to Li Lingyang to give a nodding bow.

“President Li, here is the contract you wanted, now this mall has been successfully transferred to Lady Ning’s name!”

The onlooking parents who were enjoying the drama had their jaws drop.

The sales clerk was dumbstruck, her eyes filled with disbelief, how could such a large mall be transferred just like that?

“President Xu, you, you must be joking with me?”

Upon hearing this, President Xu almost smashed the contract into her face, his tone disdainful, “What are you to make me joke with you? You’re a fool not knowing you’ve offended someone important. You’re doomed to be a low-level clerk all your life.”

The clerk trembled, her face instantly paled, a deep fear rising within her.

Ning Yichu’s mind was a mess, “Li Lingyang, how did you…”

“Hmm? What about me?” Li Lingyang looked at the petite woman in front of him, his eyes full of affection, “Ning Yichu, this mall is now yours. As for the employees here, you decide how to handle them.”

Ning Yichu realized he was trying to air her grievances.

But for this matter, she had a hundred other ways to solve it without needing such drastic measures!

Li Lingyang seemed to see through her thoughts, his deep and sexy voice sounding again.

“Ning Yichu, I can’t stand to see you and the kids wronged.”

Hearing this, Ning Yichu’s heart skipped a beat, stirring up waves of unusual feelings.

“Miss, I’m so sorry, really sorry, earlier I was blinded by greed, which led to my despicable actions, please forgive me this once…” The sales clerk saw the dire situation and quickly began to beg for mercy.

But Ningning had not forgotten what had just happened, and snorted coldly, “That’s not what you said when you were falsely accusing us!”

The sales clerk’s face turned the color of liver, embarrassed.

“Our store calculates commissions based on performance; I only wanted to earn more money, you don’t understand, I have a good-for-nothing gambler of a husband who has amassed a huge debt, and he’s waiting for me to pay it back, I had no choice…”

Towards the end of her explanation, the sales clerk deliberately started sobbing piteously, but Ning Yichu’s face remained unmoved.

“No one on this earth has it easy, your misfortune is not a reason for us to pay.”

If today her ability was even slightly worse, and without Li Lingyang’s help, she and her children wouldn’t have been able to leave here unharmed.

She wasn’t a saint, holding no obligation to forgive, her voice cold, “You are in charge of a section mostly with children’s products. If every child comes to shop and you look down on them like this, it will inevitably affect their growth, so… you resign and leave!”
