Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 172 is like the Calabash Brothers.
"Those two poor bastards over there." Boss Sun leaned close to his cousin-in-law, his tone high-pitched and obsequious, just like a treacherous eunuch in a movie or TV drama who would flatter someone in a high position.

"They clearly can't afford the jewelry in your store, yet they deliberately cause trouble. They colluded with this female employee to openly steal jewelry from your store and take kickbacks, completely disregarding you as the store manager. Luckily, I happened to be in your store today to buy something, otherwise, who knows how much stuff these trash would have taken away by the time you found out."

After boasting about his achievements, General Manager Sun turned to Du Anrao and the others and said threateningly, "You didn't expect that, did you? My cousin's husband happened to be out shopping with my cousin today. He was just upstairs when he received my call and came right over. Now let's see how you try to deny it!"

[I really didn't expect anyone to be so eager to come and die. Thinking about it, isn't this just the usual trope in some male-centric, female-centric wish-fulfillment novels? They beat up the younger ones, then the older ones come, like the Calabash Brothers, one after another running to their deaths.]

Jiang Younian: "..." I must say, it's quite a vivid description.

Zhang Kexin naturally couldn't let the charge of embezzlement be pinned on her head for no reason, especially since this matter involved Ms. Du.

"Manager, that's not right. This Ms. Du just spent ten million in the store..."

Upon hearing this, the store manager, surnamed Zheng, had his eyes light up: "Ten million? Did she pay?"

No sooner had the question been asked than the woman who had come with Mr. Sun burst out laughing gleefully: "These two penniless paupers, where would they get ten million to pay? They're just about to pay and they're already causing trouble, insisting they have some kind of discount card that gives them a 50% discount. The saleswoman even vouched for them, saying that the card was personally given to her by the chairman of your jewelry store's head office."

Store Manager Zheng's face turned green after hearing this. Even though jewelry stores are very profitable, how much profit can they make with a 50% discount?
Du Anrao's actions were undoubtedly tearing his flesh out!
"What 50% off card? I've worked at this store for so many years and I've never heard of the company issuing any 50% off card."

Zhang Kexin hadn't expected the store manager to say that, and quickly stepped forward to remind her, "But store manager, two months ago, in the company group chat..."

"What company group or what? Are you the store manager or am I the store manager? I said there isn't one, and that's final."

Upon seeing this, Mr. Sun and his companion, who had initially provoked the incident, revealed smug smiles. Jiang Younian, however, frowned and subtly shielded Du Anrao behind him, sensing that this matter was unlikely to end well.

Zhang Kexin was stunned on the spot. As an ordinary shop assistant, going against her boss was undoubtedly a very foolish thing to do.

But when he turned around and saw Du Anrao's overly young face, and thought of the announcement sent in the group two months ago, he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Manager, this Miss Du's card is indeed genuine. Two months ago, the company group sent an announcement that the chairman personally gave this card to a Miss Du. This Miss Du..." is the chairman and general manager's savior.

Snapped--

Before Zhang Kexin could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face by Manager Zheng without warning.

"Zhang Kexin, you've got some nerve! You dare to question what I say? Do you really think you can boss me around just because you have some ability?"

Du Anrao quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Kexin, his face darkening instantly.

Before this, she was quite calm, thinking that if the discount card couldn't be used, she would simply not buy anything and there was no need to give money to such a trashy store manager just because of a momentary anger.

Besides, she had only glanced at those things, and hadn't even touched some of them. If she didn't want to pay, could these people force her to buy or sell them?

But if someone takes action, the nature of the matter changes, especially since that person was beaten while trying to protect themselves!

Just as Du Anrao was about to lash out at Zhang Kexin, a series of images suddenly flashed through her mind, startling her into widening her eyes in surprise: "You..." "How could you hit someone?" Jiang Younian didn't notice Du Anrao's unusual behavior. Seeing her suddenly rush out from behind him to support the young lady who had been hit, he also hurriedly stepped forward to protect both of them behind him.

Yu Chuhui, who had only come to say hello to an acquaintance, was also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

After realizing what was happening, he also chimed in indignation, "He's right, no matter what, you shouldn't hit someone!"

"So what if you hit someone? You traitor, you think you can run your own business here just because I gave you a little respect? You're fired, and you don't need to come here from today onwards."

Zhang Kexin stood there, stunned, covering her slapped face, but quickly calmed down: "You can fire me, but according to the contract, you have to compensate me with three months' salary. Because the company dismissed me without my consent, it's an illegal termination of the labor contract, and you need to pay me double the economic compensation, which means you have to pay me six months' salary."

Store Manager Zheng's expression changed slightly: "Are you desperate for money? You dare to try and extort me from a lowly commoner..."

Zhang Kexin ignored his shouting and interrupted him, saying, "Besides, you hit me in public, and the nearby surveillance footage is evidence. In addition to economic compensation, you also need to compensate me for the medical expenses and emotional distress caused by this slap. Otherwise, I will sue you for intentional assault."

This time, not only Manager Zheng, who was facing Zhang Kexin directly, but also Du Anrao and the onlookers were stunned by Zhang Kexin's calm and precise output.

[Oh, cool! This girl is so cool! Her first reaction after being fired by that jerk wasn't to beg for another chance, but to calmly protect her interests through legal means. Facing physical assault, she fearlessly confronted her abuser and bravely used legal means to defend herself. Help, I think I'm almost falling in love with her!]

Jiang Younian: "..." Although this young lady is indeed very charming and capable, that last sentence was really unnecessary!

"Sue me? You want to sue me? Hahaha, she said she's going to sue me." Manager Zheng turned to look at General Manager Sun as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Mr. Sun smiled obsequiously: "This stupid woman has long hair but short brains. She doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, let alone how much power you, brother-in-law, have in B City. You can crush her with a wave of your hand. It's hilarious to hear her say such things."

Store Manager Zheng was quite pleased with General Manager Sun's flattery, but when he turned to look at Zhang Kexin, his eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Intentional injury, is that it? You want to sue me, huh? I'll show you!"

Store Manager Zheng raised his hand and shoved Jiang Yunian aside, and this weakling whose thigh was not even as thick as a person's arm was thrown aside.

By the time he finally regained his footing and tried to turn around to save the person, it was too late.

Zhang Kexin was also startled by Manager Zheng's sudden outburst and instinctively shrank back.

His mind was clearer than ever before, and he had even figured out how to call the police later.

Unexpectedly, I didn't feel any pain for a while.

Looking up again, I realized that the person's outstretched hand had been...caught by the person next to me?

Zhang Kexin: ?

Onlookers: ???
