From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Jiang Li stared at the authorization result on the screen, pressing her palm against the edge of the tablet.

She reached out and dragged the order page to her.

"The money has been frozen, and I'll be in charge from now on. Ah He has only been here for three days; she hasn't done anything like altering sizes, picking up goods, or delivering them yet."

After she finished speaking, she went to take the dress registration form from Mu Qingying's hand.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand to block it, and the paper stopped between the two of them.

"She takes full responsibility for the guests she serves."

Jiang Li's eyelids twitched, and she gripped the receipt with her fingers: "The store has rules that high-end custom orders must be handled by the store manager, and the commission will be distributed according to the store's arrangements."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her and said, "Bring me the rules."

Jiang Li did not respond.

The store's rules are posted in the back, and this explanation isn't even written in them.

She tucked the order slip into her coat: "I'm managing the staff. Ah He just started; who's responsible if something goes wrong?"

Ah-He stood to the side, her arm pressed against the dress packaging bag, even her breathing was soft.

On her third day at the store, no one spoke up for her, and Jiang Li could easily transfer the order to her own name with just a few words.

Lu Yunzhou took the tablet back from Jiang Li's hand and placed it back in front of Ahe.

"Her employee number is recorded for the entire process, from order registration, trying on, payment to delivery. You can do the in-store verification, but don't touch the commission."

Jiang Li reached out to modify the system, but Lu Yunzhou grabbed her wrist.

"Make it again, and I'll send the reception records, monitoring data, and pre-authorization page to the brand headquarters together."

Jiang Li looked up at him, her smile completely fading: "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm talking about the consequences."

Lu Yunzhou released his grip and stepped back to Mu Qingying's side.

He spoke calmly, but all the employees in the store stopped what they were doing.

Ah He gritted his teeth, held the tablet steady, and reconfirmed the customer information.

The order page displayed an employee affiliation field. She selected her own name and then filled in the dress number, size requirements, and delivery date.

Jiang Li reached out again, but Ahe had already turned the tablet to the other side.

"Sister Jiang, the client information has been entered. You just need to sign in the approval section."

Her voice trembled as she spoke, but her hands never stopped moving.

Jiang Li stared at her for a few seconds, then finally picked up the electronic pen and signed her name in the approval column.

Lu Yunzhou glanced at the order page, confirmed that the employee was still listed as Ahe, and then looked away.

"She delivered the dress to the fitting room and also handled the alterations. Upon delivery, the customer signed the receipt with her name on it."

Jiang Li gritted her teeth, her chest heaving several times.

She wanted to get angry, but everyone else in the store was watching, and the records on the tablet were crystal clear, so she could only swallow her words.

Ahe picked up the dress and walked up to Mu Qingying.

"Miss Mu, please come in."

Her steps were still tense, but her back straightened a bit.

The fitting room door closed, and Ahe stood outside checking the sizes.

Jiang Li leaned against the counter, picking up her phone several times and then putting it down again.

Lu Yunzhou sat on the sofa, his hands resting on his knees, his gaze fixed on the order page.

A few minutes later, when Mu Qingying pushed open the door and came out, she had already changed back into her own clothes.

Ah He followed behind her, carrying the dress, a hint of relief on her face.

"The size is right, but the waistline needs to be raised a little, and the shoulder straps should be reduced by half an inch so they won't slip when walking."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Mu Qingying: "How does it feel to wear it?"

Mu Qingying tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at the packaging bag.

"I'll wear it on my birthday."

She didn't let Lu Yunzhou see how the dress looked when she tried it on, and she even saved photos of the dress on her phone.

Lu Yunzhou raised an eyebrow: "You're even keeping this from me?"

Mu Qingying looked up at him, her ears turning red: "We'll watch it at the birthday banquet. It's no fun if we watch it beforehand."

After she finished speaking, she turned off her phone, then hooked her arm around his, her grip tightening slightly.

Lu Yunzhou let her pull him along and turned to have Ahe handle the payment.

"Amount: 760,000. Swipe my card."

Ahe took out the cash register, and Jiang Li came over again.

"The store manager can handle the payments, and the customer's bank card must also be kept by me."

Lu Yunzhou ignored her and simply opened his mobile banking app.

The page shows two accounts, one belonging to Yuanchuan Construction and the other labeled as Xinghe Group's risk disposal compensation.

He selected the next account and handed the phone to Ah He.

"Personal payments should not be processed through company accounts."

Ahe took the phone, entered the amount, and then pushed the device in front of Lu Yunzhou for confirmation.

Verification complete, the cash register dispenses a receipt, and the words "Payment successful" appear on the screen.

Jiang Li stood to the side, her face turning pale.

Ahe carefully placed the receipt, dress number, and delivery voucher into a file bag.

She checked the dress packaging again, making sure the seal was intact, before handing the item to Mu Qingying.

Lu Yunzhou took out a business card from his wallet, wrote down a number, and handed it to Ahe.

"This is a recruitment consultant in the haute couture industry, specializing in finding people for brand stores. Once you settle this commission, contact her if you'd like to change jobs."

Ah He clutched the business card, her palms sweating. "Mr. Lu, can I really go to a place like that?"

"If you can finish this order today, you'll be qualified."

Ahe glanced down at the business card, then saved the number into her phone.

She didn't resign immediately; instead, she turned around and finished the remaining handover procedures, even remembering the date on the seal clearly.

Jiang Li finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Lu Yunzhou, you poached employees right in front of me?"

Her voice rose, and all the customers in the shop turned to look at her.

Lu Yunzhou put away his phone: "I'll give her my contact information; whether she goes or not is up to her. Since you're taking her commission, don't worry about where she wants to go."

Jiang Li was speechless and could only turn to the side, letting Ahe see the two of them off the store.

When they reached the door, Ahe chased after them and handed the delivery slip to Mu Qingying.

"Ms. Mu, if you need your size adjusted on your birthday, please feel free to contact me."

Mu Qingying took the document and nodded to her.

Lu Yunzhou looked at Ahe: "Do this order well, and don't skimp on the commission."

Ahe nodded several times, the restraint in her eyes easing somewhat.

The elevator went down to the first floor, and the two walked out of the mall.

Mu Qingying, clutching her dress bag, didn't get into the car immediately. She waited until Lu Yunzhou closed the door before turning around and asking, "Where did that money come from?"

Lu Yunzhou opened the car door, gesturing for her to get in first.

Mu Qingying stood still, her fingers pressing on the handle of the packaging bag: "Yuanchuan just received nine million, you're not going to use company money to buy me a dress, are you?"

She asked directly, and Lu Yunzhou didn't beat around the bush either.

"The nine million is a convertible bond that Su Qingwan gave to Yuanchuan. The money went into the company's account, and Nanwan Old Port needs it. It will also be handled according to the contract later. That money belongs to Yuanchuan."

He got into the driver's seat and waited for Mu Qingying to get in before continuing to speak.

Mu Qingying pursed her lips and placed the dress bag on the back seat: "You spend 760,000 yuan on a dress, you certainly spend money freely."

Money can be earned again, but birthdays only come once a year.

Mu Qingying lowered her head and touched the bag's opening, her voice softening, "Why did you insist on buying it for me?"

Lu Yunzhou started the car and looked at the traffic ahead.

"Because I want you to look good on your birthday, and I also want to see you dressed up for me."
