Chapter 973 Dismissal
Do you need this job?
Shen Lu looked puzzled: "You used to spend money at SUNNY all the time, you shouldn't be short of this little bit of salary, right?"
"Don't you know why I'm short of money?"
"If you hadn't reported him, how could my dad have..."
Zhang Ruoruo realized halfway through her sentence that if she revealed her family's bankruptcy, she would only be looked down upon even more.
Moreover, Shen Lu is that person's fiancée and also Jenny's husband's niece. Even if she speaks ill of Shen Lu, these people will still protect Shen Lu.
Zhang Ruoruo's eyes darted around, and her tone changed: "Lulu, others may not know why I'm short of money, but do you think you don't?"
Shen Lu was too lazy to talk to her anymore: "Then you can go find other jobs."
Jenny couldn't make an exception, and Shen Lu agreed with Jenny's decision.
"I shouldn't have talked to you like that before. I'm sorry, please forgive me." Zhang Ruoruo bit her lip.
She knew what it meant to be "forced to bow one's head when under someone's roof."
She groveled before Shen Lu more than once.
“I forgive you because you don’t understand me. You thought that if I left the Shen family and the Shen family went bankrupt, I wouldn’t be able to afford a single piece of clothing.”
The store manager only then understood the whole story, and she could only look at Zhang Ruoruo's expression with mixed feelings.
Although Jenny is the director, she is also one of SUNNY's shareholders.
But the real boss behind SUNNY is the little girl in front of you.
If Jenny hadn't inadvertently revealed it, even she wouldn't have known.
This is also thanks to the fact that SUNNY's headquarters has now moved to Yucheng, and as the first store manager, she had more contact with them.
The store manager couldn't understand why Zhang Ruoruo, a girl with such a sharp tongue and a knack for sweet-talking, would be so harsh on President Shen.
"That's great, thank you, Lulu!"
"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Could you wait until I finish work? I'll treat you to dinner!"
Zhang Ruoruo thought that Shen Lu's forgiveness meant that she should stay and continue working.
But this time the store manager said righteously, "Ruo Ruo, you should pack your things and leave later."
Zhang Ruoruo looked at the store manager in shock: "Why?"
"Didn't Shen Lu already forgive me?"
The store manager shook his head: "We have strict requirements for our employees. I told you from the beginning that some mistakes can be made, but some mistakes absolutely cannot be made."
What you just said is wrong, no matter what the reason.
Zhang Ruoruo lowered her head. She could outsmart Shen Lu, but she didn't know how to argue with the store manager.
The store manager exuded confidence, all in an effort to impress Shen Lu.
Of course, she also despised Zhang Ruoruo's actions.
People who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak have predictable personalities.
Although she is quick-witted now and can bring in revenue for the store, she will eventually reveal her true nature and offend customers.
The store manager didn't dare take that risk.
She didn't even need to consult the director or President Shen to fire Zhang Ruoruo.
She believed that the two men agreed with her.
"I will change, and I will never be so impulsive again."
Zhang Ruoruo was already crying, tears falling in a steady stream.
If it were a man, he might have already started to feel sorry for her.
But there were very few men here, and none of the few people present sympathized with Zhang Ruoruo.
Only Lin Sisi instinctively wanted to oppose Shen Lu when she saw her.
"Sister, Ruoruo used to be your friend, could you ask Auntie to help you keep her here?"
"Ruo Ruo's family went bankrupt, so she had to go out to work to earn tuition fees."
Lin Sisi was one of the few people who knew about Zhang Ruoruo's family situation.
Shen Lu knew, of course, that Zhang Ruoruo was in a bad situation.
But what does that have to do with her?
"I can't influence the store manager's decision, and neither can your auntie." Shen Lu usually calls her Jenny, but now she calls her auntie so that Lin Sisi and Zhang Ruoruo can hear her.
"If you pity Sisi, why not find her a job?"
Lin Sisi's expression changed slightly: "I'm still a student myself, how could I possibly find a good job?"
Shen Lu looked at her and said, "You can share your current sources of income with Zhang Ruoruo."
"That way, you two can become best friends."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Sisi didn't even bother buying clothes. "I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."
Shen Lu watched her flee in disarray and found it all amusing.
It's not hard to guess what Lin Sisi's current sources of income are.
If she were to bring Zhang Ruoruo along, she would only be asking for trouble.
Besides, Xiao Yu is already doing well enough to support one of hers, how could he possibly afford to support a second one?
Xiao Yu probably isn't that kind of person.
At least, Xiao Yu, who was in his early twenties, wasn't.
Women are less attractive to him than his career.
His sympathy and pity for Shen Sisi probably outweighed his affection.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yu just likes dodder.
Shen Sisi perfectly fits his selection criteria.
Zhang Ruoruo watched as Lin Sisi, who could speak up for her, had already run away, but she lingered, unwilling to leave.
"Manager, even if I have to leave, I want to stand firm at my post until the very end."
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Zhang Ruoruo's sudden change of heart made the store manager sigh.
"Okay, then you go."
Shen Lu didn't care about Zhang Ruoruo's sudden change of attitude; their good mood for shopping had been ruined by Zhang Ruoruo.
Shen Lu accompanied Jenny to the second floor for a walk before leaving Sunny.
If they saw any pretty clothes from their own shop, they would try them on.
However, Jenny kept the nicest ones from her own shop as soon as she saw the finished product photos.
The clothes were all delivered directly to my home.
She will not only keep it for herself, but also for Shen Lu.
So neither of them actually planned to buy from their own store.
However, if the old lady sees something she likes, they want to buy it for her.
Grandma Shen, however, had no particular thoughts.
Friendship Shopping Mall also has many other shops to visit.
After shopping at Friendship Shopping Mall, Shen Wu had many shopping bags hanging from his arms.
Shen Lu was also carrying a few.
Shen Lu also took her grandmother to drink milk tea.
Unlike those old pedants who are stubborn and conservative, only drinking tea or coffee and disdainful of the milk tea that young people love to drink.
"I used to like drinking milk tea when I was younger."
As Grandma Shen sipped her milk tea, she told them, "Back then, milk tea wasn't popular in China yet. When it was introduced, it was only available in wealthy households."
“My father-in-law specially found someone to learn how to make it, and then he makes milk tea for me.”
When Grandma Shen talked about these things, they were all beautiful memories.
"However, there are more elements in milk tea now. I think this taro paste is pretty good."
The elderly woman, in a good mood, took them to see her old friend.
It's a qipao (cheongsam) clothing store that specializes in custom-made qipaos.
She had a set custom-made for herself, Shen Lu, and Jenny.
Even my second aunt, who is still in our hometown, was fortunate enough to have a child.
The data was all measured by the old lady after she called home and asked someone to measure it for her second aunt.
