Chapter 2004: I Did Not Do It On Purpose Just Now
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Ziming shot a cold glance at Xu Huihui and the intern beside him. His cold aura was fully exuded. This cold morning actually made the intern tremble, especially Ji Ziming’s eyes, which were terrifyingly dark.
“CEO, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
The intern quickly lowered her head. Although she did not know if Ji Ziming was looking at her, she instinctively lowered her head, not wanting to lose her job.
Everyone knew how difficult it was to enter the Ji Group. It was not her original intention to get one of the ten slots from thousands of people to be assigned to this clothing store.
Just as Xu Huihui had said before, she graduated from a famous university. Now, she was staying in this small clothing store and only helped Ji Ziming and Pei Ge to match their new clothes and provide them with clothes for different occasions.
The work might seem boring, but because he could see Ji Ziming, the intern did not think too much about it. It was enough as long as he could get closer to Ji Ziming.
“Don’t speak. I didn’t ask you, so don’t speak.”
Ji Ziming looked at Xu Huihui and spoke to the intern.
“Yes.”
The intern lowered her head even more. Before she could react to Ji Ziming’s words, she heard Xu Huihui kneel down with a plop and cry, “CEO, I know my mistake now. I’ll change. I really won’t do this again.”
“Let this intern be the manager.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold. Other than Pei Ge, no one else present could react in shock. Xu Huihui was the first to react.
It was not easy for her to become the manager. How could she resign from her position just because of such a simple reason? Impossible!
“What’s the use of crying now?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled into a sinister smile. The cold aura around him disappeared and was replaced by a cold and sinister look. He was like the King of Hell who had just crawled out of hell. His gaze and cold smile were enough to make everyone around him feel fear.
“CEO, I really know my mistake. Even if you want to remove me from my position, you shouldn’t have let this intern be the manager. She’s only been here for a few days. Please consider it.”
Xu Huihui had already accepted her fate. There was probably no one in the capital who had more prestige than Ji Ziming. As long as it was something Ji Ziming had decided on, there was probably no turning back.
“Then I’ll ask you what’s right and what’s not. Why don’t you tell me?”
Ji Ziming’s smile deepened as he looked at Xu Huihui, who was kneeling on the ground, with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes that made one feel terrified.
“CEO, I…”
Xu Huihui was at a loss for words. Unable to think of a suitable reply, she could only kneel on the ground and cry.
“Why? You can’t say it anymore? How about I help you?”
The coldness around Ji Ziming increased yet again. Before Pei Ge could understand what was going on, the intern beside Ji Ziming also knelt on the ground with a thud. “CEO, it’s my fault for not satisfying the store manager. It’s my fault. Please take back your words. I will work hard in the future. Please take them back.”
Pei Ge did not say anything and merely watched the intern and Xu Huihui kneel on the ground. Her initial disdain seemed to have understood Xu Huihui’s painstaking effort.
“Oh? You want to plead for her?”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold. As he sat on the chair, the floor behind him was filled with neatly arranged shoes, clothes bags, and gift boxes. The expensive fur coat from Sun Enterprise was currently placed on the sofa like a clown waiting for his verdict.
“That’s not it, CEO. Actually, you’ve misunderstood the manager. The manager is a very good person. She can always take care of the feelings of the other sisters in the store. In our store, I can’t find anyone more suitable than the manager to be the manager.”
The intern spoke seriously, but he did not notice the smile in Ji Ziming’s eyes.
“So you don’t mind her scolding you just now?”
“I don’t mind. I really don’t mind.”
The intern shook her head nervously, afraid that Ji Ziming’s words would cause her or Xu Huihui to lose their livelihood in this bustling city.
“Alright. Since you’ve already pleaded on behalf of your manager, it seems like this manager is indeed interesting. Since that’s the case, I won’t say anything more. You can do whatever you want. Manager, have you prepared the things I asked you for?”
Ji Ziming laughed and his cold aura disappeared.
“Yes, yes. I’ll go get it for you now.”
Hearing that Ji Ziming had finally let her off, Xu Huihui walked to the counter in a relaxed manner and took out a blue folder from the bottom shelf. Inside was all the information about the intern who had given Pei Ge her clothes.
Xu Huihui suddenly did not understand. Ji Ziming’s ability could allow anyone under him to gather all the information about that dead intern, but why did he want Xu Huihui to gather it herself?
This was not in line with his way of doing things.
“Okay, I’ll take the things. You call the shots in this shop. Also, the shoes are in the wrong place. Those are imported Italian leather shoes. They’re handmade. They should be placed on the side.”
Ji Ziming pointed at the pair of expensive men’s leather shoes on the shoe rack. They were the type he often wore and he was most familiar with them.
“But, CEO, the price of those shoes…”
Xu Huihui was put in a spot. The price Ji Ziming mentioned was a pair of imported leather shoes that cost only tens of thousands. Compared to those Italian handmade leather shoes, it was much inferior.
“Why? Do we have to place it on a high ground to show its value and identity?”
There was a hidden meaning in his words. Xu Huihui, who had been in contact with people for many years, had heard of this before. She quickly nodded to indicate that she was willing to do as Ji Ziming said.
“CEO, I’ll go change it now. You’re right. Nothing is absolute in this world.”
There was nothing that had to belong to him.
This was the second half of what Xu Huihui silently agreed to, just like how Ji Ziming had almost removed her identity as the store manager.
“Okay, go ahead. Remember the spot I was talking about. That was just a pair of shoes.”
Ji Ziming snorted and looked at the intern who was still kneeling on the ground.
