The man rolled his eyes, not expecting there to be such a foolishly rich person around.
"Could you please deliver this for me? Thank you."
Guo Xuyang handed the pack of sanitary napkins back to the girl.
The girl happily took them and went to the fitting room door, knocking on it.
"You bought them?" Xiao Yun poked her head out from inside.
"Here you go," the young girl said.
"Thank you." Xiao Yun was surprised to see it was the saleswoman and quickly withdrew her head.
"Manager, as you can see, this boss has already transferred my salary. Could you please settle my salary for the past three months?"
The saleswoman returned and looked at the man.
"Did I say you could leave? Who will look after this store if you go?" the man said loudly.
"Manager, I've been working hard here for three months, and you haven't given me a single cent. This boss just asked me to run one errand, and he advanced me a year's salary. Tell me, how can I continue working for you?" The young girl started to cry as she spoke.
"Are people still withholding employee wages now?" Guo Xuyang asked curiously.
"Isn't it forbidden to withhold employee wages anymore? Is it that this place is different from others? Or is the shop too powerful and exploiting the new?"
"These are our store's rules. The contract was signed this way initially," the man argued.
"The contract was signed this way? Do you know who signed this contract? Does it have legal effect?" Guo Xuyang sneered.
"When she came for the interview, this was agreed upon. There's nothing that can be done about it."
"That's not what was said," the young girl said. "What was said was a deposit of one month's salary, with the rest paid later. If I resigned, I wouldn't get that month's salary. But I've been working for over three months now, and you still haven't paid me."
"Didn't we give you clothes since you weren't getting paid?"
"What use do I have for such expensive clothes? My family can't afford to wear such expensive clothes."
"Then you can't say you weren't paid. We agreed back then that these clothes would count as your salary once they were sold."
"You're substituting the inferior for the superior. The clothes you sell for over two hundred outside you price at over two thousand. The two pieces of clothing you gave me cost less than three hundred in total outside, yet you want me to sell them for over three thousand. Aren't people stupid? Can't they see? I can't do something so against my conscience."
"What use do I have for you if you can't sell them? Don't ask about the price outside; the price I set here is the price. This is like Jiang Ziya fishing; those who are willing will bite. I'm not robbing money from their pockets. Besides, how many clothes have you sold for me in these past few months, and you still have the nerve to ask for money?" the man said, mixing praise and criticism.
"I don't want the clothes you gave me; I only want my salary. Even if I forgo the commission, you owe me a base salary of four thousand yuan," the young girl said.
"If you want money, you have to finish this month. I'll give you six thousand then," the man said shamelessly.
"I don't want six thousand, and I'm not working anymore. I just want four thousand, and you can give me two months' base salary now."
"What's going on?" Xiao Yun came out after changing her clothes.
"This person is bullying the young girl," Guo Xuyang said.
"What do you mean bullying the young girl? Are you just going to stand there and watch her be bullied?"
"This is their business; I can't interfere," Guo Xuyang said.
"You're telling her what to do, why aren't you saying anything?"
Xiao Yun gave him a look, picked up her phone, and dialed. "Sister Xu, where are you? I'm buying clothes at your mall. You don't need to come. Okay, I'm at the entrance of Xiangyang Clothing. Alright, I'll wait for you."
"Who are you calling?" Guo Xuyang was perplexed.
"A friend I met while practicing yoga," Xiao Yun said.
"Why are you calling her?"
"You don't care that the young girl is being bullied, but I can't just stand by. She provided excellent service. We can't let honest people be bullied, can we?"
Guo Xuyang knew Xiao Yun was causing trouble, but he really couldn't figure out what she was up to. Just then, a woman in her thirties arrived.
"General Manager Xiao, what wind blows you to my little shop today?" the woman said, grasping Xiao Yun's hand as soon as she arrived.
"Sister Xu, please don't say that. If this is a small shop, what does that make my place?"
"Is there anything you like? I'll give you a fifty percent discount," said General Manager Xu.
"No need. I'm already wearing it."
"It looks good indeed. General Manager Xiao looks good in anything. Liu Manager, this is my friend; give her a discount." The woman said to the man.
"General Manager Xu, what are you saying? If your friend takes it, she takes it. How can I charge her?"
"General Manager Xiao, see? The owner is unwilling to accept money, so just wear it and go."
"This money must be paid. This piece of clothing is not cheap; the tag price is over seven thousand," Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"You don't know the situation here? Liu Manager, if you have the intention, that's enough," General Manager Xu said.
"It's still Sister Xu's influence that matters. This young girl has been working in this store for three months and hasn't received a single penny yet." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"Hmm? What's going on?" General Manager Xu frowned and looked at the man, asking. She now understood why Xiao Yun had called her about buying a piece of clothing. This Xiao Yun was a genuine rich woman; the bracelet on her wrist alone was probably worth two hundred million. It was a case of having value but no market, as it was very difficult to find such a high-quality imperial green jadeite bracelet on the market nowadays. She would never call her for a few measly dollars.
"General Manager Xu, it's like this..." the man quickly explained.
"General Manager Xu, the manager signed a contract with me for a deposit of one month's salary, with the rest paid later. I've been working for him for over three months, and he hasn't given me a cent yet. This boss just asked me to help his sister buy something and offered me a salary of one hundred thousand a year to go with him, which I accepted. I asked Manager Liu for a base salary of four thousand yuan, and he wouldn't even give me that." The young girl started crying again.
"Old Liu, you're something else, aren't you? The mall has repeatedly emphasized not to withhold employee wages, and you're really making a name for yourself?"
"General Manager Xu, I'm truly sorry. I just couldn't find anyone quickly and didn't want Xiao Li to leave. I'm truly sorry, I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again."
"Again? You know what kind of person I am. Since you didn't abide by our mall's regulations, then we'll proceed according to the rules."
"General Manager Xu, please give me another chance. I promise I won't make the same mistake again. I'll transfer the money to her now," Manager Liu said quickly.
"Xiao Li, I'll transfer the money for these three months to you. You can go wherever you want."
