"Chen Xiao, Ziqian. Come here, this is Teacher Qin, and this is your Aunt Li—"

"Hello Uncle Qin, hello Aunt Li"

Chen Xiao greeted Zhang Ziqian together, a little confused. Didn't they just make plans over the phone at lunch to go to Lee Ji-eun's concert tomorrow? It hasn't been that long, why are they going shopping again?

He underestimated the excitement these elderly people felt when they suddenly found old friends; they couldn't possibly wait until tomorrow.

Shen Yun and Zhao Xiangjun had just arrived home when Teacher Qin called Chen Tao's cell phone, saying they were going to the Junxiao Plaza No. 2 store that afternoon to buy a new phone. They wanted to meet up with two old friends.
Chen Tao was feeling bored at home when Teacher Qin's call came like a timely rain. Otherwise, Shen Jun would have been at home with her daughter-in-law and wouldn't have paid any attention to him, let alone come shopping with him.

"Xiaoxiao, is this Xiaoxiao? He's so handsome! Oh my, Teacher Chen, Teacher Shen, I always said our families should arrange a marriage between our children!"

At this point, Mr. Qin was pulled by his wife, and he realized that Zhang Ziqian was there.

Just now, Zhang Ziqian called Shen Yun "Mom" and Chen Tao "Dad." Does it even need to be said what her relationship with Chen Xiao is?

Teacher Qin stopped herself in embarrassment, but her eyes were full of resentment. What a wonderful match it was! Alas, it was overtaken by someone else.

“Let’s go shopping together. Your Uncle Qin wants to buy a cell phone. Chen Xiao, can you give me some advice?” Shen Jun said.

"And computers, I'm planning to buy one of those foldable screen computers, they're quite convenient," Qin Wangdong paused, then said to Chen Tao, "I recommend you buy one too, it's very convenient."

Hearing this, Chen Tao became genuinely interested. The Chen family wasn't short of money, so he wasn't opposed to such "advanced productive forces."

If you're looking for foldable screen computers, there's only one place to go: the HUAWEI flagship store.
"Come on, come on, you're probably not familiar with this place. I'm a regular here, I'll lead the way," Qin Wangdong said happily, like a child. His family's finances had improved recently; Qin Yun had been making a lot of money lately, transferring 200 million yuan to his account a few days ago.

Qin Wangdong, having learned about the recent situation of his daughter's company, has completely recovered from depression.
Shen Jun lagged half a step behind and whispered to Chen Xiao, "What's wrong? You look unhappy. Do you think your mom left your wife home alone?"

Indeed, Chen Xiao rubbed his chin without saying a word, his attitude was quite clear.

He snorted, "You really have forgotten your mother now that you've married a wife. How could I bear to leave her at home? Xu Jia went, saying she was here to inspect the stores at Junxiao Plaza and wanted to bring her out for some fresh air. Teacher Qin also happened to be here, so we came over. Your wife is inspecting the stores with Xu Jia right now."

Chen Xiao then realized that Zhao Xiangjun was also in the mall.

Hi--

If I had known, why did I go shopping with Teacher Qin and the others? I should have gone to find Zhao Xiangjun instead.

The group arrived at the HUAWEI flagship store. It wasn't rush hour, so the customer flow was decent. As they walked, Qin Wangdong said to Chen Tao, "I called my Xiaoyun. Let's have dinner together tonight."

have to--

It's not a good idea for Chen Xiao to run away now. He should wait until they finish buying the computer, then go find Zhao Xiangjun himself and show up again during dinner.

There is a generation gap when people are separated by a generation and there is a communication gap between them.

Qin Wangdong felt a sense of closeness to him because he had held him when he was little, and perhaps even played with his little bird.

But he had no recollection of Qin Wangdong, and his attitude towards him was entirely out of consideration for his parents and Qin Yun.

Men tend to buy things more casually; they buy what they like, unlike women who compare and contrast items.

Qin Wangdong said to Chen Tao, "Come on, Teacher Chen, I'll buy it too. We haven't seen each other for years, so I'm giving you a gift. It's also a useful office tool."

In the past, Chen Tao would have been embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift. But now, money has long lost its meaning for the Chen family. Let alone tens of thousands of yuan, even millions of yuan are meaningless to Chen Tao now.

"Old Qin, let me do it," Chen Tao said politely.

"Hey—", Qin Wangdong reached out and snatched the computer from Chen Tao's hand. He handed it to the saleswoman to pay for it, then turned to Chen Tao and said, "Don't try to take this from me. Let me tell you, business at home has been doing well lately. I'm financially stronger than you, so I'll pay for the expensive items. Dinner tonight is on you, okay?"

Chen Tao was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Are you better off financially than me? How did you figure that out?

Qin Wangdong went over to pay, and his wife said to Shen Yun, "It's just a computer, please don't be shy, Teacher Chen. Our Xiaoyun is capable now, supporting the whole family on her own, this little bit of money is really nothing to us."

Shen Yun glanced at Chen Xiao, who was suppressing a laugh, and didn't know what to say. She could only manage a dry laugh: "Congratulations, congratulations. Xiao Yun is quite capable—"

"Mom, Dad—"

As soon as Shen Yun finished speaking, they heard Qin Yun's voice coming from the shop entrance. The group looked in the direction of the voice and saw the charming Qin Yun walking in from outside.

Seeing Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian there, she was a little confused.

She was planning to leave work early and go home today. Her parents told her they were buying some things at Junxiao's second store, so she came to find them and pick them up. Unexpectedly, Chen Tao and his wife, along with Chen Xiao, were already there.

"Xiaoyun—", her mother's eyes lit up when she saw her proud daughter arrive.

At this moment, Qin Wangdong also finished paying the bill and returned happily.

Qin Yun didn't know why he was so happy, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Qin Wangdong said, "I told your Uncle Chen that our family is better off than his now, so he shouldn't try to take it from me. I gave him a computer, and he treated me to dinner. We shouldn't judge sincerity by the amount of money; let's just do what we can afford."

what--

Qin Yun's face flushed red instantly, and she wished she could dig a hole in the floor tile and disappear into it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, what money do you have? What's your little bit of money worth?"

Qin Wangdong was displeased. "What's wrong, daughter? I'm giving you Uncle Chen a computer, and you're not happy about it? Let me tell you, we can't be rich and heartless."

"Me?" Qin Yun looked at Chen Xiao, who had turned away and whose shoulders were shaking uncontrollably. She was speechless. "What do you mean, 'you'? When you were little, your Aunt Shen and your Uncle Chen both held you. Let me tell you, if we hadn't come to Jiangzhou, you might already have a child with Chen Xiao."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Ziqian, clearly still harboring some resentment towards this beautiful woman who had stolen his husband.

"Oh dear, you old fool, how can you not keep your mouth shut?" Qin Yun's mother glanced at Zhang Ziqian and then went up to pinch Qin Wangdong.

Qin Wangdong dodged and weaved, but didn't forget to turn back to Qin Yun and say, "Now that you have money, isn't it only right that you sponsor Uncle Chen? Otherwise, it would take your Uncle Chen several months to earn enough to buy this computer."

Qin Yun was truly devastated. "God, please tell my dad to shut up! How can I ever face anyone again?"
"What, am I wrong?" Qin Wangdong walked over again after his wife stopped attacking.

At this moment, Chen Xiao said, "Uncle Qin, Aunt Li, I'll take Ziqian to Yinuo's place for a stroll."

"Yinuo? Hello, Yinuo! Let's go together. I like their clothes, I'll pick out a few pieces."

Chen Xiao was speechless; this Uncle Qin was really something else.
How did someone go from being depressed to being so excited?

There was no way to refuse, so the group marched towards the [Yinuo] store. Several elders walked in front, with Qin Yun and Zhang Ziqian flanking Chen Xiao on either side.

Qin Wangdong glanced back and then said to Chen Tao, "Where does Chen Xiao work now? Why don't you go help Qin Yun and get her to give up some of her shares?"

Qin Yun stumbled and almost fell. "Dad, can you please not mention me?"

Qin Wangdong glared at her: "Girl, you weren't a stingy person before. Why are you so agitated today when money is mentioned?"

"I...I..." Qin Yun wanted to explain, but everyone was shopping right now, so it wasn't a good time to explain Chen Xiao's identity, was it?
[Yinuo] shop

Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Jia had just finished their store tour and arrived here. Yinuo Group has several brands now, and this is the last stop after they finished visiting the previous stores.

"Xiangjun, ever since we were attacked last time, I've been on tenterhooks every time I take you out."

Zhao Xiangjun snorted: "Then why did you go looking for me? Aren't you afraid Chen Xiao will cause you trouble?"

Xu Jia's expression changed: "Don't scare me—", then she said pitifully, "I just couldn't help it, didn't I? Sigh, my Ren Jie, I don't even miss him if I don't see him for a year. But if I don't see you for three days, I can't eat or drink."

“Xu Jia, can you stop mistaking cheesy sentimentality for humor? When you left Jiangzhou, I didn’t see you for so long, and I didn’t see you ‘wasting away for her.’ When you came to Jiangzhou, you were as fat as a ball.”

His face immediately fell: "Xiangjun, we're almost at the store. You need to be mindful of my image. I'm the regional general manager and the group's vice president now."

Xu Jia joked with Zhao Xiangjun, but inwardly she was filled with sorrow.

A year ago, Ren Jie was a stay-at-home mom while Ren Jie went to work coding. After paying off the mortgage each month, she had to buy the cheapest meat.

And now, he earns an annual salary of 300 million yuan. Not to mention other benefits, his food, drink, and even basic necessities are all reimbursed by the company. Ren Jie also works as a project manager at Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, earning nearly a million yuan a year.

All of this is because I met such a super beautiful best friend. Sigh, no wonder I defended her so much back then; Chen Xiao probably took such good care of me because of that.

Thinking about the past, he brought Zhao Xiangjun to the entrance of Yinuo store, just in time to hear an argument inside. He frowned immediately; such things were rare in the company. The company strictly prohibited store staff from arguing with customers.

Even before Zhao Xiangjun acquired Yinuo Group, such a thing was not allowed to happen in the store.

It seems I haven't been visiting the store enough lately. Such an outrageous thing happened at the store, and Xiangjun even ran into it. Xu Jia, her face frosty, entered the store.

Every shop assistant knew her; after all, these stores were opened when Xu Jia was the general manager of the Hanjiang region. Several sales associates not only knew her, but they also knew Zhao Xiangjun—both were long-time employees.

Upon seeing the regional general manager arrive, the store manager quickly came forward to greet him.

"What's going on?" Xu Jia asked, clearly dissatisfied.

Inside the store, there was a pretty girl dressed as a sales assistant, and next to her stood another girl who was dressed up and carrying an LV bag.

There was another customer standing opposite the sales assistant.
Seeing that the company leader had arrived, the sales assistant immediately fell silent. The customer turned around and saw Xu Jia, recognizing the company leader, and approached, saying, "Company leader, right? I'm going to complain about this sales assistant. What kind of attitude is this? A big company like this? If you don't deal with this employee today, I'm going to complain to the entire mall."

Xu Jia frowned; this customer was not someone to be trifled with.

But she still smiled and said to her, "Beautiful lady, may I look into the situation?"

Then the store manager came over and explained what had happened:
This customer bought a set of clothes a few days ago. At the time, they confirmed that the clothes were flawless, but today they brought them to the store saying that the clothes had loose threads and were of poor quality, and requested a refund.

The sales assistant believed the customer acted intentionally. Yinuo's clothing quality control is extremely strict, and they thoroughly inspect the goods upon arrival at the store. Furthermore, the customer had confirmed the item's condition on-site before purchasing; how could there possibly be a quality defect?

However, in an attempt to provoke a customer complaint, the sales associate offered to exchange the item for another one. But the customer refused and insisted on a refund.

At this moment, a friend of the sales assistant, who was waiting for her to get off work, arrived at the store and saw the situation. She said that the customer was doing it on purpose, wanting to get a piece of clothing to wear for a few days without spending any money. She had encountered this situation several times before.

Saying this behind someone's back wouldn't be a big problem. The problem is, she said it to the customer's face. How could the customer possibly accept that?

The sales associate, already suspicious, was even more convinced after hearing her friend's words that the customer was doing it on purpose. She was immediately unhappy because it was the end of the month, and she was still some distance from her personal sales target. If this customer maliciously cancelled the order, she might not be able to meet her target, which would affect her bonus.

And so, she lost her temper and got into a big argument with the customer who had already been on edge because of her friend's doubtful remark.

The store manager had just discovered the problem and was asking about it when Xu Jia and Zhao Xiangjun came in.
After hearing the whole story, Xu Jia first apologized to the customer, then asked the store manager to give her a refund. For Yinuo Company, arguing with customers in the store is absolutely unacceptable.

If there hadn't been an argument today, Xu Jia might have supported the store's approach of reasoning with customers, first determining whether the issue was caused by human error, and then deciding whether to offer a refund.

But now that an argument has broken out, and without any evidence, they are questioning whether the customer's behavior was intentional damage to the clothing and taking advantage of the company. Obviously, the customer will not accept this.

Xu Jia chose to let the matter rest.
After the customer left, he turned to the sales assistant who had her head down and said, "For what happened today, you need to receive a warning."

"Why should I?" a delicate voice shouted from the side. (End of Chapter)
