Chapter 291 Her Bones Are Quite Hard
Chen Xuan checked the time. It was still early before work. He drove his car straight to Tianhe Jewelry Store.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Xuan arrived at Tianhe Jewelry Store.
Tianhe Jewelry Store was large and sumptuously decorated.
Although it was daytime, the lights were still on, emitting a faint yellow glow, like the radiance of gold, adding a touch of luxury and grandeur.
Chen Xuan strode towards Tianhe Jewelry Store.
At this moment, at Tianhe Jewelry Store.
"Fang Xiaoyu, do you want to go out for dinner with me tonight? You need to think carefully. Last month, you only sold a silver ring for over a hundred yuan. If you don't sell anything this month, you will be fired according to the rules. If you are willing to have dinner with me, you might have a chance to stay."
A middle-aged man in a suit stood at the counter. He had a beer belly, was broad-shouldered and sturdy, and his triangular eyes shot out greedy light as he leered unscrupulously at the beautiful woman opposite him.
Standing opposite him was a beautiful woman in a white shirt and a purple vest, appearing to be twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Although this woman was not as stunning as Su Yunxi, she was still a campus beauty.
In this jewelry store where mature women were prevalent, she was definitely a beautiful sight.
This was Fang Xiaoyu.
The middle-aged man was named Dong Mingyuan, the store manager of Tianhe Jewelry Store. Ever since Fang Xiaoyu started working at Tianhe Jewelry Store, Manager Dong Mingyuan had been trying to invite her out, but Fang Xiaoyu always managed to evade him. However, this time, Dong Mingyuan had found leverage. Last month, for some unknown reason, she had only managed to sell one silver ring.
According to the rules, Fang Xiaoyu would be fired if she didn't sell anything else. Today was already the end of the month, and she hadn't even sold a single silver ring!
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyu's delicate body trembled, and her fair face, which was as smooth as porcelain, instantly turned pale. "Manager Dong, I will work hard this month. I have something to do tonight, I'm truly sorry."
"Fang Xiaoyu, stop pretending to be pure! Don't think I don't know that after work, you go to bars to sell liquor and flirt with those men. You might as well flirt with me, and I promise, I'll buy all your liquor."
Dong Mingyuan had invited Fang Xiaoyu out countless times and been rejected each time. At this moment, he had completely lost his patience.
The surrounding store clerks all looked over, pointing and whispering at Fang Xiaoyu.
"Manager Dong, please don't slander me. That's a part-time job! It's a legitimate bar!"
Fang Xiaoyu was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
That was indeed a legitimate bar. If Manager Dong continued to slander her, people would likely break her spirit, and how could she continue working in the jewelry store?
Dong Mingyuan threatened, "Legitimate, my foot! Today, I'll give you two choices: either agree to accompany me tonight, or resign!"
Many store clerks looked on with schadenfreude and disdain.
This little vixen was just relying on her looks. Usually, many customers who were about to make a purchase would go to this little vixen instead.
Now that she was being taken advantage of, she would be considered used. How could she still be arrogant in front of them?
Someone even deliberately advised, "Xiaoyu, what's the big deal for a woman? Spread your legs, close your eyes, and it'll be over. Following Manager Dong from now on, you'll be living a life of luxury."
"No... no..."
Fang Xiaoyu's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she shook her head vigorously.
Her mother was seriously ill in the hospital, and her sister was in school. She was the pillar of the entire family.
She had already lived a difficult life. Why was fate so unfair to her, forcing her to encounter scumbags like Dong Mingyuan!
Upon hearing the word "no," Dong Mingyuan was enraged. However, at the crucial moment of his anger, he restrained himself, because he knew that it was just a matter of igniting the final spark. Once this spark was lit, Fang Xiaoyu would obediently surrender and become his plaything.
He took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his gloomy face, looking somewhat sinister. He forced a gentle tone. "Xiaoyu, Brother Dong knows you're having a hard time. As long as you agree to comply with Brother Dong, I'll cover all your mother's hospital expenses and your sister's tuition fees."
Fang Xiaoyu trembled all over.
Her mother's hospital fees and her sister's tuition fees had always been two mountains weighing on her shoulders. Now that the opportunity was presented to her, she was truly tempted.
At this moment, she really wanted to give up resisting. She was tired, and she couldn't carry the burden anymore!
However, reason and self-respect told her that she couldn't do it.
"No need, Manager Dong."
Fang Xiaoyu sniffled, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
As soon as she said this, Dong Mingyuan was completely enraged. "Good for you, Fang Xiaoyu, your bones are truly hard! If you don't sell anything this month, I'll fire you! Your mother will be thrown out of the hospital! Your sister will be kicked out of school!"
Just then, Chen Xuan, who had overheard their conversation, walked up to Fang Xiaoyu and said lightly, "Miss, I'd like to take a look at this sapphire. Can you please get it for me?"
Everyone around was stunned, looking at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
Dong Mingyuan's face darkened, annoyed that someone was causing trouble right after he had spoken.
"Can you show it to me? I'm thinking of buying it." Chen Xuan looked at the dazed Fang Xiaoyu and smiled faintly.
Fang Xiaoyu finally reacted. She quickly wiped the tears from her face, revealing a happy smile. "Yes, of course! I'll get it for you right away!"
Dong Mingyuan couldn't tolerate someone disrupting his plan. He pointed to a plump woman beside him. "Lanhua, please show this gentleman around."
Fang Xiaoyu stiffened upon hearing this.
She knew that Dong Mingyuan was deliberately opposing her, not wanting her to sell anything.
It was very likely that Dong Mingyuan had also deliberately framed her last month when she hadn't sold anything.
The plump woman walked up to Chen Xuan with a smile, deliberately unbuttoned her shirt, revealing an enticing cleavage, and smiled charmingly. "Sir, allow me to show you around."
"No need, she can show me."
Chen Xuan pointed at Fang Xiaoyu.
The plump woman's face soured slightly, and she cast a jealous glance at Fang Xiaoyu.
Damn it, you little fox, making me put on a show for nothing.
Dong Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Sir, her service attitude is poor. It would be better if this store clerk served you."
"Didn't you hear me? I only want her!" Chen Xuan stared coldly at Dong Mingyuan, his voice resolute.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu looked at Chen Xuan, feeling as if he was glowing, like the first ray of dawn after half a month of gloom.
Dong Mingyuan hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so assertive.
He had intended to stop Chen Xuan, but as his gaze swept over Chen Xuan, he revealed a hint of contempt.
A poor guy whose entire outfit was worth less than a hundred yuan, what good thing could he possibly afford?
He could probably only afford a silver ornament worth one or two hundred!
Fang Xiaoyu was still destined to be fired.
"Then, sir, please take your time!" Dong Mingyuan sneered.
Fang Xiaoyu quickly took out the sapphire pendant from behind the counter and placed it in front of Chen Xuan.
"Sir, are you buying jewelry as a gift for someone?"
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Xuan and asked cautiously.
She was curious, wondering what kind of woman could be worthy of such a man.
If this man didn't have a girlfriend, how wonderful would that be?
Although she knew it was wishful thinking, she still held onto a glimmer of hope.
