Chapter 819 — Go and Ask
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Seeing Wei Zhao hand the membership card to the assistant and send her off to find the sales manager, Gu Mengyao guessed roughly what he intended: he meant to use her identity as the eldest daughter as a battering ram at the door.
And indeed, that was precisely Wei Zhao's thinking. He had already glimpsed a clue in the parking lot guard's face — the man had read the information on Gu Mengyao's diamond card and recognized her: the eldest daughter of the Gu Group! If even a parking lot guard could recognize Gu Mengyao's identity, how could the sales manager of Pengzhan Mall possibly fail to know her?
Once he saw the information on Gu Mengyao's membership card, he would hardly care about rules and regulations — he would simply take the dress out and sell it to Gu Mengyao! To whom did Pengzhan Mall belong? To the Gu Group, naturally! And who stood at the top of the Gu Group? None other than Gu Pengzhan!
As Gu Pengzhan's only daughter and the future heir of the Gu Group, how could these petty managers below fail to curry favor with Gu Mengyao?
So Gou Huli's fate was sealed: all that remained was to see how she would perform pulling her own head off.
The sales assistant was puzzled, but since Wei Zhao insisted, she took the membership card he gave her and hurried to the door of the mall market sales department manager's office. This was the office of the direct superior of clerks like her, so she was a little nervous; she took a deep breath before knocking.
"Come in!" A deep male voice came from within.
The sales assistant pushed the door open and stepped inside, saying with some nervousness, "Manager Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you for a moment..."
"Oh? And you are?" Manager Wang, seated in the office, clearly did not recognize the sales assistant. There were far too many sales assistants in the department store; how could he possibly know every one of them?
"I'm Chen Lili, client sales assistant at the luxury counter in the apparel department..." the sales assistant introduced herself.
"Oh, what can I do for you?" Manager Wang had no particular recollection of Chen Lili, but hearing that she was one of his own subordinates, he nodded and asked.
"It's like this — a diamond client wishes to purchase a display item from the window..." Chen Lili stated her business.
"Oh? Haven't we already laid down the rules on this? Display items are not for sale, and the window displays all have replacement cycles..." Manager Wang frowned. Such minor matters had been emphasized at the regular meetings, so why had this sales assistant come all the way here to ask?
