The store manager looked at her with slight surprise. Yin Xi paused before continuing:
"Just now, Miss Meng saw me buy this necklace and came over to strike up a conversation. I thought she liked it too, so I intended to let her have it first.
Who knew she would be so disgusted and dismissive.
Sales associate Zhou, as your employee, naturally has to protect your interests and secure my sale, which is why she said those things.
I think she handled it very well, without any issues."
"Is that so? Madam, could you vouch for Zhou Qian?" Upon hearing this, the store manager's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Zhou Qian came from a special background and had only recently started working; she hadn't even received her first month's salary yet. The manager couldn't bear to fire her.
If there was a buyer to testify for her, even if the matter escalated to the manager, she likely wouldn't be fired.
"Of course," Yin Xi met Zhou Qian's gaze and replied without hesitation.
Zhou Qian twitched her nose and nodded gratefully at Yin Xi.
However, a hint of worry arose in her heart.
The other party was an international star with a certain status in K City. Was Yin Xi not afraid of offending Meng Qi by standing up for her like this?
"Yin... You... I think you're deliberately trying to oppose me, aren't you?" Meng Qi raised her hand and pointed at Yin Xi, furious.
She wanted to say her name but stopped herself.
She felt it was better not to. If she pushed Yin Xi too far, she might take off her mask.
Wouldn't that not only make Yin Xi shine but also give her free advertising?
Yin Xi turned, her gaze chillingly fixed on Meng Qi, and said unhurriedly, "Meng Qi, I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't forget who the producer behind this necklace is."
Her words were filled with a warning, and Meng Qi couldn't help but shiver.
Her previously arrogant demeanor instantly deflated.
The store manager and Zhou Qian exchanged a look and blinked at each other in silence.
It seemed that this Ms. Yin, who was buying the necklace, indeed had a significant background, her aura clearly suppressing Meng Qi.
What else did they have to worry about?
They immediately swiped the card to complete the transaction. The store manager personally handed the packaged necklace to Yin Xi, "Ms. Yin, please take care."
"Thank you." Yin Xi smiled at them, glanced at Meng Qi and Bai Lin, then turned and walked away.
Meng Qi, infuriated, followed her footsteps. When they reached a less crowded area, she shouted loudly:
"Yin Xi, what are you so proud of? Even if you were the spokesperson, you still had to buy it yourself, didn't you?
If you're so capable, why don't you have him send you one personally."
Yin Xi stopped and slowly turned around. She walked a few steps towards Meng Qi and said, "Miss Meng, aren't you meddling a bit too much?
Whether he gives it to me or not is our business, what concern is it of yours?
You didn't become the spokesperson for Zhuo Sheng, and you're still envious and jealous, aren't you?
Instead of worrying about others, it would be better to study how to protect yourself, how to communicate with corporate executives, and how to secure your next advertisement."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi's body trembled with anger. Yin Xi was deliberately picking at her wounds.
Did she know how she had been injured in Haicheng last time?
Were those two men sent by her?
"Yin Xi, you b*tch, I... I'm going to tear you apart today." Meng Qi said, lunging at Yin Xi.
She completely disregarded her international celebrity image.
Yin Xi had anticipated this move, knowing Meng Qi would be enraged. She instantly retreated, simultaneously pushing Meng Qi.
Wearing high heels, Meng Qi stumbled and lost her balance, twisting her left ankle.
If Bai Lin hadn't rushed forward to support her, she would have definitely fallen.
The two bodyguards not far away saw this and nervously prepared to step forward. Yin Xi shook her head at them.
It was as if she was saying, "It's fine, you don't need to act; I can handle this woman myself."
The two bodyguards had no choice but to stop and stand at a distance, their gazes never leaving the two women.
After steadying herself, Meng Qi suppressed the pain in her ankle, clenched her fists in anger, and glared at Yin Xi, cursing, "Yin Xi, you shameless woman, how dare you push me."
"Watch your mouth, and be careful not to disfigure yourself again," Yin Xi snorted coldly. "You made the first move; I was merely defending myself.
Yin Xi, I'm telling you not to provoke me again, or you'll certainly face dire consequences."
