Chapter 182: Why I Can Be the Manager_1

“Mom, do you really not trust your daughter?” Chen Lele was also a bit angry, pouting her lips in displeasure.

Chen Lixin saw her daughter’s expression and felt a bit soft-hearted. She gently hugged Chen Lele and said, “Silly girl, how could Mom not trust you? It’s just that you have so little social experience, and I’m afraid you’ll be deceived by bad people in society. You’re so young and still a university student. Your future is boundless. You mustn’t carelessly give yourself away to someone.”

“Mom! What are you talking about, ‘giving myself away to someone’? Humph, I’m not that foolish,” Chen Lele stamped her foot and said indignantly.

“Then you must promise me that before you graduate from university, you won’t get a boyfriend and mustn’t have close contact with boys. Otherwise, Mom will never forgive you,” Chen Lixin said somewhat sternly to Chen Lele.

“I promise, since I don’t have a boyfriend anyway and wasn’t planning on finding one during university,” Chen Lele patted her not-so-full chest and made a promise to Chen Lixin.

Upon hearing Chen Lele’s promise, Chen Lixin breathed a sigh of relief. Her daughter had always been very ambitious, and since she could make such a promise, she surely wouldn’t break her word.

“How did you end up becoming a store manager, and how did you meet the Group’s General Manager? Tell me slowly, Mom won’t interrupt you,” said Chen Lixin, realizing that blaming her daughter wasn’t the solution, so she changed tactics and asked her burning questions.

“Ah, about that, it was really my luck! A few days ago, while I was at work selling cars, I patiently attended to a young gentleman. It turns out he was looked down upon by one of our veteran salespeople. Then, with just one phone call, he summoned the General Manager of Lu Family Port Auto City. Even the Auto City’s General Manager was extremely respectful to him; he seemed to be a very important person, but I felt he didn’t put on airs at all, being very approachable, just like an ordinary person,” she recounted.

“Later, both the Auto City’s General Manager and our store’s manager apologized to him. The old salesperson who initially looked down on him became the butt of the joke, shriveling up into a ball at the car dealership and getting the boot from the 4S store—broadcast live to tens of thousands of people on the platform! Afterwards, because of my good service attitude, which allowed this VIP to successfully purchase a car, the General Manager promoted me to Deputy Store Manager of the Audi 4S store, and my salary rose to twenty thousand yuan,” Xu Lele said with a hint of excitement in her eyes, narrating to her mother, Chen Lixin.

Even now, the memory of Xu Fan was exceedingly clear to her.

Handsome, and rich, a man whom even the General Manager had to treat with great respect, such an outstanding person, and he was roughly my age. With this thought, Chen Lele felt a bit disheartened.

Xu Fan was also accompanied by an adorable little girl who called him daddy, which proved that Xu Fan was already married.

She could only bury her admiration and fondness deep inside her heart.

“There’s such a remarkable person? Daughter, your luck really is too good,” Chen Lixin said, a bit astonished. Could it be that the Buddha finally heard her prayers from all those temple visits, sending such an influential figure to help arrange a job for Lele?

“Humph, am I just relying on luck? That sales manager also saw the same person but because he was dressed simply, he didn’t show much respect, which led to what happened afterward. If it wasn’t for my diligent work ethic, this stroke of fortune wouldn’t have happened to me,” Xu Lele tilted her head, speaking to her mother with a trace of pride.

“My daughter is the best!” Chen Lixin held her daughter’s hand, saying proudly, and then with a touch of yearning, she added, “Such an impressive person must be a very important figure.”

“Hehe, no, he’s actually just a young man in his twenties, about my age, and he’s quite handsome too,” Xu Lele said with a playful laugh.

“What? In his twenties, that’s impossible,” Chen Lixin said, a bit shocked. To be so capable at such a young age, could he be a son from one of the four major families in Yan Country?

“It’s true. When he was handling the license plate, I even saw his ID card, he’s only two years older than me,” Chen Lele nodded in confirmation.

“He must be a rich second generation then. Nowadays, those rich second generation kids are simply not from the same world as us,” Chen Lixin sighed a little.

“From what I saw, he doesn’t seem like any rich second generation, he’s quite approachable, just like the boy next door,” Chen Lele defended Xu Fan.

If we’re talking about the old Xu Fan, he was definitely one of the top rich second generation kids in Yan Country, you could smell his nouveau riche air and the stench of money from eight feet away, but the current Xu Fan is very different from before. After being refined by the cultivation techniques, he has reached the realm of returning to simplicity and truth, and he seems like an utterly ordinary person, radiating an ordinary and friendly aura.

Only the more formidable martial artists can sense the aura on Xu Fan, the legendary natural force, also known as the Great Dao Principles.

“What kind of boy next door could have such status and strength, he’s definitely a rich second generation without a doubt. Do you have his address or contact information? Fill up some spare time by buying some fruits and milk to thank him for his help, we need to learn to repay kindness, so that we can have a constant flow of good fortune,” Chen Lixin patiently advised Chen Lele.

“Okay, okay, Mom, you really do go on and on. You don’t need to worry about my affairs with him,” Chen Lele said, shaking her head, trying to escape her mother’s verbal barrage.

“Silly child, we can’t just accept favors without gratitude, you know,” Chen Lixin was still nagging.

Just then, it seemed that some guests had arrived at the door, and Chen Lele ran off like she was escaping, heading to the entrance.

The few people who came in were all young men, but their expressions were rather extravagant, and one of them even had a gaudy tattoo encircling his arm, which made Chen Lele frown tightly at a glance.

“Which one of you is the owner of Xin Le Apparel?” As soon as he entered, a plump man addressed Xu Lele directly.

His teeth were yellow and crooked, and he carried the scent of garlic, causing Chen Lele to frown as he spoke.

“I’m the owner of Xin Le Apparel,” Chen Lixin quickly came out from the side and confronted the few imposing young men.

After all, she was a forty-year-old and rather adept at handling situations. Seeing the unfriendly looks on these men’s faces, she instinctively pulled Chen Lele behind her.
