The clothes were quickly bagged.
Nearly three hundred thousand yuan were spent again.
Xu Qiang, holding the handscroll, continuously wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Sir, these are your clothes..."
"Call your boss."
Ling Feng spoke again, still with just a few simple words.
Xu Qiang's legs began to tremble, and he looked at Ling Feng with a pleading expression, "Sir, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Isn't this enough? Bag up everything on this wall for me!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang immediately panicked and repeatedly agreed, "No, no, sir, I'll call our boss right away!"
The surrounding onlookers were also stunned by Ling Feng's extravagant display of wealth.
Five hundred thousand yuan, spent so casually.
That wall had seven racks lined up. If they were all bought, wouldn't it cost several million?
This was truly too much money!
And such a display was naturally too much pressure for Xu Qiang to bear.
Xu Qiang knew that if he continued to delay, he would only further provoke this wealthy patron.
And then it would be even harder to resolve.
"Boss. We have a customer here who wants to see you."
Xu Qiang made the call with a bitter expression, his tongue even tied as he spoke.
"A big client?"
The voice from the other end of the phone was somewhat lazy.
"Yes, a big client."
Xu Qiang nodded in agreement. When he looked at Ling Feng again, his face had turned a purplish red.
Ling Feng, whom he had previously called a poor kid, was now the big client he mentioned.
After the call ended, Xu Qiang politely said to Ling Feng, "Sir, our boss will be here soon. Is there anything else you need?"
Flattery!
Xu Qiang was now trying to curry favor with Ling Feng. Only by doing so could he keep his job.
Ling Feng, however, paid him no mind. He turned with Ling Xiaoran and sat on the soft sofa nearby, his eyes slightly closed, appearing to be waiting for someone.
This made Xu Qiang even more like an ant on a hot pan, pacing anxiously in the store.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was buzzing with discussion. Those two foolish sales assistants also knew they were in for trouble. They hid to the side, talking nervously, hoping to find a way to avoid disaster.
Soon, all three of them set their sights on Lin Siqi.
Xu Qiang made the first move, stepping forward and saying to Lin Siqi, "Lin Siqi, why didn't you tell me your friend was so rich earlier? Aren't you intentionally trying to embarrass me?"
"Heh heh, Siqi, we were just joking with you earlier. Don't say anything out of line when the boss gets here."
"Siqi, although I like to chat, I have no grudges with you. When the boss comes, don't frame us!"
Lin Siqi, surrounded by the three, looked uneasy.
"I, I won't say anything out of line," Lin Siqi said, lowering her head timidly.
And in just a few moments, a plump middle-aged man walked in, "Old Xu, where's the big client? What's going on? Why are so many people gathered in our store? Are we having an event today?"
Seeing his boss arrive, Xu Qiang quickly put on a fawning expression.
"Boss Li, the big client is right there. We had a small misunderstanding earlier, which attracted some onlookers! But it's all Lin Siqi's fault. This new sales assistant didn't explain the customer's identity, almost causing me to drive them away!"
In a few words, Xu Qiang shifted all his responsibility onto Lin Siqi.
The two female sales assistants beside him also chimed in.
"Yes, boss, look, if we hadn't appeased the customer, would they have bought fifty thousand yuan worth of clothes from us! This is all Lin Siqi's fault!"
As their words fell, the three exchanged glances.
That's right! Just like this!
The three of them unanimously agreed that it was Lin Siqi's fault. Even if Ling Feng was Lin Siqi's friend, the boss wouldn't deal with all three of them together!
Boss Li's expression turned grim as he heard this, and he looked towards Lin Siqi.
"You, the new sales assistant, what's wrong with you? Important clients need to be treated with priority. Didn't I tell you before?"
Lin Siqi's face turned pale.
How could she have imagined that after she endured and didn't mention the matter of the three of them, these three would gang up and bite her back!
Under such pressure, how could she resist?
Even if Ling Feng could protect her for a while, what about after Ling Feng left? Wouldn't she then be...
However, before Lin Siqi could respond to Boss Li, Ling Feng's voice rang out.
"Come here."
Boss Li saw Ling Feng, a young man sitting there with a stern face and an indifferent demeanor, ordering him to come over. He couldn't help but frown.
But for the sake of money, he still walked towards Ling Feng, apologizing, "Sir, I'm truly sorry. Lin Siqi is a new sales assistant here, still in her probation period, so she offended you..."
"Siqi is my friend! The ones who offended me are your supervisor and two sales assistants."
Ling Feng directly interrupted him, pointing at Xu Qiang and the other two like he was wielding a command token.
Upon hearing this, Boss Li abruptly turned his head and looked at Xu Qiang with anger, "What exactly is going on?"
Xu Qiang's heart tightened. He signaled to the two sales assistants and was about to step forward to argue further.
But before Xu Qiang could speak, the surrounding onlookers had already started to chime in.
"What else could it be! That bald guy saw they were dressed ordinarily and said they couldn't afford clothes! That's what angered this young master!"
"That's exactly right. And those two female sales assistants are so ugly, they've been bullying that new sales assistant, saying she's seducing men!"
"Yes, yes, I just saw the three of them threatening Lin Siqi, not letting her tell the truth!"
At this point, Xu Qiang and the other two were completely flustered.
"Boss Li, please let me explain. It's not like that, it's..."
Boss Li's face had already turned grim. Before Xu Qiang could finish his explanation, he angrily rebuked, "Explain what nonsense! Haven't you embarrassed me enough? Shut up!"
After speaking, Boss Li quickly turned back and repeatedly apologized to Ling Feng.
"Sir, I am truly sorry. I misunderstood this matter. I will definitely deal with these three. Lin Siqi's business skills are excellent. I will make her a full-time employee right now!"
Make her full-time?
The surrounding crowd scoffed upon hearing this.
What good is making her full-time!
It was obvious that Boss Li was just covering for the old employees!
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang and the other two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all cast venomous glances at Lin Siqi.
They had already decided that as soon as Ling Feng left, they would have plenty of ways to torment her!
But just then, Ling Feng said indifferently to Boss Li, "Since you're unwilling to let these three go, then I will."
