Chapter 1591: Mockery
Xu Ke had no idea what the floor manager said to their store manager over the phone.
But judging from the smug look on her face, Xu Ke could roughly guess that she had definitely said a lot of bad things about them over the phone.
To reach the position of a floor manager was enough to indicate that her relationship with the store manager was not ordinary.
Especially in such matters, the store manager would naturally first listen to what the floor manager had to say.
Wang Cuixia didn’t expect things to escalate like this. Initially, she just wanted to buy a piece of clothing, but it ended up causing so much trouble.
However, someone like Wang Cuixia had always lived by the rule: if people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them; if someone messes with me, I must retaliate.
Moreover, this was on their own turf. If the incident got out, how would the Xu Family survive in the community?
"Keyi, if you’re tired, take Mom to sit somewhere. I want to see what tricks they will pull today."
Today, Xu Ke decided that, regardless of the situation, he would get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, he would never hire any employee from this store again.
About ten minutes later, they saw a man in a suit leisurely walking in from outside the mall.
Xu Ke immediately recognized that this person must be the store manager, as mentioned by the floor manager, because he still had the Xu Group’s logo on him.
The suited man walked into the store unhurriedly, and upon seeing him, the floor manager immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Manager, you’re finally here! There are two poor folks who can’t afford clothes and are acting like big shots here. They kept insisting on seeing you, and now they’re waiting right over there."
After listening to the floor manager’s description, Xu Zhengnan sized up Xu Ke.
With his status, he wouldn’t ordinarily encounter Xu Ke, so he didn’t recognize him at all.
Also, seeing Xu Ke’s attire, which didn’t seem worth more than 500 yuan, he was sure Xu Ke was just a pauper.
Nevertheless, as they were in a mall, his attitude remained quite friendly.
"I wonder what business you have with me, sir."
Although his attitude was very friendly, there was a trace of arrogance in his tone, which made Wang Cuixia very unpleasant.
"Why are you acting all high and mighty? Believe it or not, I can have you out of this job in a second."
Wang Cuixia could no longer hold back, having been repeatedly mocked today.
Even the most patient person would get upset, let alone in their own mall.
The suited man clearly didn’t expect Wang Cuixia’s attitude to be so agitated, which immediately made his face turn grim.
"Madam, this is not a place for you to act unruly. Please show some respect."
As soon as the manager finished speaking, Xu Ke slapped him directly.
You could insult him, but no one could insult his mother.
Family was Xu Ke’s Achilles’ heel. A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and you shall die, especially someone with a temper.
The manager didn’t expect Xu Ke to act so suddenly.
Instantly, his face turned extremely ugly. He never thought someone would dare to lay hands on him on his own turf.
"Where did this lunatic come from, causing trouble here? You better take a look at yourself, like you could ever afford a single piece of clothing here." After saying this, the manager called for security.
Xu Ke was already furious by now. This manager had no sense of propriety.
Starting off with such sarcastic remarks, someone else might have punched him by now.
"Which department are you from? Give me your name."
Xu Ke had decided that he didn’t want to see this person again tomorrow, or rather, he never wanted to see this person again in the future.
If there were more people like him in the Xu Group, the company would be ruined sooner or later.
Xu Ke never put up with bad apples.
Upon Xu Ke asking which department he was from, the suited man seemed to have heard the biggest joke ever.
"Oh ho, I didn’t expect a fool to know the concept of departments. Do you see the logo on me? I’m someone from the Xu Group. Do you even know what the Xu Group means in the capital?"
The volume of his voice immediately drew a crowd of onlookers.
Seeing the logo on the suited man’s outfit, everyone wore a look of surprise.
After all, the Xu Group carried a lot of weight in the capital. Almost every mall, almost every shop showcased their presence.
Even in various industries, whenever the Xu Group was mentioned, someone would surely talk about them.
Correspondingly, getting into the Xu Group was extremely difficult. Many tried in vain to get in, only to be left outside the gate.
The suited man appeared to be around 30 years old. At his age, securing a place in the Xu Group was indeed something to be proud of.
Xu Ke suddenly felt that the world had exceeded his understanding. Based on the man’s attire, his level was no more than a department head within the Xu Group. Possibly even lower, he may just be an ordinary employee, merely responsible for external affairs of the mall.
If someone like this could be so arrogant outside, would other employees in the company be the same way?
Xu Ke instantly felt maybe he should reorganize the entire company. Even though he’d dealt with traitors last time, some employees still had unruly attitudes.
As the crowd grew larger, the suited man’s smile became brighter.
This was the effect he wanted; he wanted Xu Ke to feel disgraced in front of so many people.
"Everyone, take a look. Who knows where this lunatic came from? Look at his clothes, all from street stalls, yet he wants to buy clothes from our store. I kindly advised them, but they wouldn’t listen and even laid hands on me."
The suited man knew most people present didn’t know what had happened, so his words dominated the narrative.
The bias led most people to believe this was the truth, so many looked at Xu Ke with peculiar gazes.
Under such scrutiny, Xu Ke’s gaze turned icier.
"I don’t care which department you’re from. As of today, you’re fired from the Xu Group. Get out of my sight now and don’t ever let me see you again."
Xiao Keyi, standing by, had never seen Xu Ke this angry before. It seemed her boyfriend was truly infuriated this time.
The manager had already written Xu Ke off as a lunatic, so naturally, he didn’t believe his words.
The crowd also buzzed with private discussions, as they clearly saw Xu Ke as a madman too.
