Chapter 42 The Store Manager is Here

Gu Lili was a college classmate of Xu Banxia.

Back then, however, Gu Lili had a face full of freckles and dressed very plainly. Years later, she had changed so drastically that Xu Banxia almost failed to recognize her.

The next instant.

Gu Lili’s words caused Xu Banxia’s expression to darken involuntarily.

"Chief Xu, I heard you're engaged to an intern doctor."

"And that intern is your subordinate. Doesn't your hospital care about office romance?"

Xu Banxia replied coldly, "That is none of your business."

During their college days, Gu Lili had a boyfriend who later broke up with her decisively to pursue Xu Banxia. Gu Lili had held a grudge against Xu Banxia ever since.

Meeting now, a war of words was naturally inevitable.

"Let me introduce you. This is my current boyfriend, Qiao Sen. He is currently an executive at a listed company with an annual salary of five million."

"As for this suit shop you walked into, Qiao Sen is even a diamond member here."

Gu Lili said, showing off.

In the past, she was always overshadowed by Xu Banxia in every aspect. Now that she finally had something to beat her rival with, she was bound to regain her pride.

Qiao Sen glanced at Xu Banxia, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes. Compared to Gu Lili's heavy makeup, Xu Banxia's natural beauty was far more stirring to a man's heart.

Noticing Qiao Sen's gaze, Gu Lili's heart sank. Then, seeing the suit Xu Banxia was in the middle of paying for, she immediately shouted, "Qiao Sen, isn't that suit the one by designer Yiven that you've been talking about for ages?"

Qiao Sen nodded and said, "Indeed. I tried to reserve it several times before, but it was always out of stock. I never expected one to actually arrive."

He said haughtily to the saleswoman, "Wait!"

"I want this suit!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Xu Banxia was stunned at first, and then said, "I was the one who bought this suit first. Surely there is such a thing as first-come, first-served?"

"First-come, first-served?"

Gu Lili sneered, "That only applies to ordinary people like you. Qiao Sen is a diamond member of this store and has the right of priority purchase."

With that, she acted tyrannically toward the saleswomen, "Did you hear that? Why aren't you hurrying up and giving the suit to my boyfriend?"

The saleswoman looked troubled and turned to Xu Banxia, "I'm so sorry, miss. Would you mind choosing another one?"

Diamond members indeed enjoyed purchase priority.

Between Xu Banxia and Qiao Sen as competing customers, she had no choice but to favor Qiao Sen.

"Hear that!"

Gu Lili was immensely proud. Seeing Xu Banxia's ugly expression brought her absolute delight.

"You guys..."

Xu Banxia felt deeply wronged, yet utterly helpless.

At this moment.

Qin Feng walked out after changing his clothes.

Seeing Xu Banxia's upset look, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Banxia had no choice but to recount the whole situation.

"I'm sorry... I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

Before Qin Feng could speak, Gu Lili seemed to have found a new angle of attack and said sarcastically, "Chief Xu, is this your kept toy boy?"

"He does have delicate skin and tender meat, no wonder you took a fancy to him. What a pity he's just a flashy spearhead that looks good but is utterly useless."

"He's not even worthy of shining my Qiao Sen's shoes."

Qiao Sen also noticed Qin Feng and saw that he was very close to Xu Banxia. A surge of jealousy rose in his heart, and he spoke in an authoritative tone, "Boy, I've taken a fancy to this suit. You can get lost now."

"You guys wanted to buy clothes, so buy clothes. Why resort to insults?" Xu Banxia protested indignantly.

"It's fine, Chief Xu. If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?" Qin Feng comforted her.

"A dog? You brat, how dare you call us dogs?"

Gu Lili flew into a fury, raising her hand to slap Qin Feng across the face.

"Watch out!" Xu Banxia cried out in alarm.

"Slap!"

To everyone's surprise, Qin Feng moved much faster and hit harder. He swung his hand with full force, landing a resounding slap on Gu Lili that sent her screaming as she collapsed to the floor.

"You're courting death, brat!"

Qiao Sen was enraged, but before he could make a move, Qin Feng delivered a swift kick straight to his chest, sending him flying out of the shop.

"Bang!"

Qiao Sen crashed heavily onto the ground, feeling as though several of his ribs had broken, a look of agony twisting his face.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Qin Feng turned back and looked at the dazed saleswoman, "We'll take this suit."

"On what grounds?"

Gu Lili hurriedly helped Qiao Sen up and strode back toward them, "Did you not hear what Xu Banxia said? My Qiao Sen is a diamond member here! Even if we buy this suit today just to throw it on the street, it's still none of your business!"

"And furthermore, you injured me and Qiao Sen. If you don't pay us five hundred thousand in compensation, you can just wait to go to prison!"

"You're demanding an exorbitant sum!" Xu Banxia said, angered to the core.

"So what? If you want to blame someone, blame this brat for having no capability. In this world, whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules."

Gu Lili said proudly.

"What if I manage to buy this suit today? What will you do then?"

Qin Feng looked at her coldly.

"I'll kneel down and apologize to you, no problem."

Gu Lili answered without hesitation.

"Good."

Qin Feng pulled out a card engraved with a black-and-gold dragon pattern and handed it to the saleswoman, "Charge it."

"What kind of card is this? No domestic bank has anything like this. Are you trying to fool ghosts, brat?"

Gu Lili mocked, "Xu Banxia, is this the kept man you found? It's going to laugh my teeth off. This is probably just a toy card."

Xu Banxia's expression was equally unsightly.

She had never seen such a card either, as it didn't even have a card number on it.

"If this card can actually be swiped for money, I'll eat shit right here."

Qiao Sen also wore a look of utter contempt.

Soon.

The saleswoman had completed the transaction attempt.

The machine showed no response.

"Sir, I'm very sorry..."

The saleswoman returned the card to Qin Feng. Though she didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was crystal clear.

"Hahahaha, what did I say?"

"This is hilarious, putting on such a big act only to end up a clown after all."

Gu Lili laughed so hard she doubled over.

"Qin Feng, what on earth are you playing at?" Xu Banxia felt deeply embarrassed as well.

She couldn't understand why he had to act this way.

However, a faint smile appeared on Qin Feng's lips, "What's the rush? Just wait a moment, someone will be here shortly."

"Who's coming?" Gu Lili and the others were momentarily stunned.

Immediately afterward.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed.

A middle-aged man in a suit, out of breath and wearing leather shoes, rushed into the store at a dead sprint.

The saleswoman said in astonishment, "Manager, why are you here?"
