The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 527: Uneasy

Chapter 527: Uneasy

Upon hearing this, the manager and sales assistant's expressions both changed.

One was worried about his own performance and commission, while the other was afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would cause him other trouble.

The store manager was the first to react, and immediately reprimanded the sales assistant, "What did you just do to offend Miss Mu?!"

"I……"

The sales assistants were terrified. They were all adults who had been through thick and thin in society, and they probably had previously thought that Mu Xiaoyu was just rich.

But seeing the manager's attitude, the sales assistant immediately realized that Mu Xiaoyu's identity was probably not simple.

But what good would it do to understand her? She was the one who started by being disrespectful and disrespectful to matriarchal society, and now there's no way to explain it to her.

The sales assistant was pale-faced and almost in tears, looking very pitiful.

Mu Xiaoyu isn't usually one to make things difficult for others, but no matter how pitiful this sales assistant seems on the surface, she's not going to let her off the hook.

She hadn't forgotten how snobbish the sales assistant had looked back then. How could someone like that be a good person?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes. She looked down at the trembling saleswoman in front of her, then said to the manager, "You'll find out what happened by asking the others."

There are five sales assistants in the store, and they all know exactly what just happened.

Although the others initially treated Mu Xiaoyu with some disdain, none were as overtly contemptuous as this saleswoman. Furthermore, given the sheer number of clothes Mu Xiaoyu had bought, they were already somewhat jealous. Hearing her words, they immediately recounted almost everything that had happened before.

Out of jealousy towards the sales associate, the others even embellished the story. The more they talked, the paler the sales associate's face became. By the time they finished, the manager's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.

He gritted his teeth, glared at the trembling saleswoman in front of him, and slapped her across the face: "What did I tell you during the training? The customer is God! Whether you have money or not, you are all treated equally! But you, you look down on people! And you've offended Miss Mu. Let me tell you, you'll have no future in this industry!"

The manager berated the saleswoman, then looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a fawning smile and said obsequiously, "Miss Mu, please don't be angry. If you want to return this dress, take another look and see which one you like. We'll give you one for free. As for this saleswoman, we'll fire her immediately. Are you satisfied with that?"

Mu Xiaoyu certainly didn't care about a piece of clothing, but the manager's handling of the situation was acceptable. After all, a sales assistant like that was definitely not a wealthy person; at most, they would be fired, which was the worst they could do. It wasn't like they had committed any heinous crime, so this punishment was sufficient.

So Mu Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "The clothes are fine. Just fire the person and return the clothes. Also, you need to properly train your store's employees. After all, not all customers are like me."

"Yes, yes, Miss Mu is right."

The manager readily agreed and had someone return the clothes to Mu Xiaoyu. He then personally escorted Mu Xiaoyu away.

After leaving that store, Mu Xiaoyu felt refreshed and invigorated.

She hadn't done anything like 'slapping someone in the face' in a long time. After not doing it for so long, suddenly doing it felt pretty good.

Because of this incident, coupled with work-related matters, Mu Xiaoyu was in a good mood. After picking out a few more clothes for Li Chenxu at other stores, she decided to call him when the time was right.

Not knowing whether Li Chenxu was busy or doing something else, Mu Xiaoyu called twice in a row but no one answered.

Worried that she might disturb Li Chenxu's work, Mu Xiaoyu stopped calling, sent Li Chenxu a text message, and went home.

All the copyrights to this comic have now been sold, and the book signings all ended last year. Now Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have any other extra work; she just needs to focus on finishing her manuscript.

Mu Xiaoyu got home early, and the housekeeper hadn't prepared dinner yet, so she stayed in the study to finish her manuscript.

Because of this rush, it was already time for dinner.

The housekeeper had already prepared the meal. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't come down for a long time, she came up and knocked on the door, calling out to Mu Xiaoyu, "Madam, dinner is ready. You can eat now."

Hearing her aunt's words, Mu Xiaoyu realized with a start that it was already evening. She had been working for several hours and was now very sore. Stretching, she got up, opened the study door, and asked her aunt, "Isn't Brother Chenxu coming home tonight?"

"The master said this morning that if he hasn't returned by this time, we don't need to wait for him."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything when she heard this. She called Li Chenxu this afternoon but he didn't answer. He hasn't called back yet. Is he really too busy, or did something happen?

She was a little worried, and after thinking about it, she finally called Assistant Lin.

To her surprise, not only did no one answer Li Chenxu's phone, but no one even answered Li Chenxu's phone.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's worried face, the aunt couldn't help but say, "Madam, don't worry. This morning, the master said that there might be a lot of things to do today, and that he might go abroad. Maybe he's on a plane right now, which is why he didn't answer your call. So don't worry."

That being said, how could Mu Xiaoyu not worry? Even if Li Chenxu was genuinely too busy to call her today, surely he could at least have time to let her know he was safe?

But Li Chenxu had none of these.

The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more anxious she became. Even though all the dinners she had prepared were her favorite dishes, she still couldn't eat them.

She sat on the sofa in the living room for a while, just as she was about to go to the Li family's place, when Song Yin suddenly called.

Song Yin went to another city to film a movie. The signal there was bad, and the schedule was tight, so they didn't contact each other much after Song Yin left. At this time, Song Yin suddenly called, and for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Hey……"

"What are you doing? Is Li Chenxu with you?"

Since the two had such a good relationship, Song Yin didn't waste any words with Mu Xiaoyu and went straight to the point.
