Chapter 169: Kneel before me, and Ill forgive you

Translator: _Min_

After the manager heard Gu Dai, he didnt dare to utter a single retort. Instead, he nodded obediently and stammered, 111 make changes, I promise to rectify everything moving forward.

Gu Dais voice tinged with skepticism as she asked, Change?

Before the manager could nod in agreement, she smiled and continued, If you had truly wanted to rectify things, you would have done so already.

Turning to the sales a.s.sociate beside her, Gu Dai inquired, There are surveillance cameras in the store, right? Can we review the footage?

Captivated by Gu Dais radiant face, the a.s.sociate blushed slightly and stammered, Yes, we have them.

Feng Xue wanted to intervene, to stop the a.s.sociate from complying. But under Gu Dais penetrating gaze, she dared not make a move. All she could do was watch as the a.s.sociate went to retrieve the surveillance video.

The footage began playing from the moment Gu Dai entered the store. Though fast-forwarded, every event unfolded clearly on the screen.

After watching the video, Gu Dais eyes fell on the manager as she questioned, Considering Feng Xue is an employee who steals others sales, bootlicks the powerful, and freely expels customers from the storearent her actions grounds for her dismissal a thousand times over?

The managers face twisted in discomfort, and he spoke softly, I think

Gu Dai interrupted, 1 get it, shes your daughter, so you dont want to fire her, right? Well, in that case, Ill have to take it up with the owner.

Gu Dai pulled out her phone and sent a message to the stores owner. Almost as soon as she relayed the situation, a reply came back.

Owner, 1 apologize for the poor experience. We will take serious action against these two employees. The final decision will be communicated to you as soon as possible.

Although the manager couldnt see the messages details, he recognized the owners profile picture instantly.

Seeing this, he pleaded with Gu Dai in desperation, 1 have parents to support and three children in school. I cant afford to lose this job

Unmoved, Gu Dai responded coldly, The day you nepotistically put your daughter in this job, you shouldve considered the potential consequences. And given your position, youve likely reaped quite a few benefits yourself, havent you? 111 also remind your boss to investigate your recent actions.

As soon as Gu Dais words fell, the managers phone rang.

The voice of the owner on the other end was loud and furious, directing the manager and his daughter to head to the company headquarters for further action.

Jiang Yue finally snapped back to reality as she saw the two leave.

She picked up the tie she had bought and prepared to leave, only to be stopped by Gu Dai the very next second.

Gu Dai said, Did you forget something? Like the bet you lost to me just now?

Jiang Yues face stiffened with regret. She had made the foolish a.s.sumption that Gu Dai didnt have the means to win the bet.

The shame of having to kneel before Gu Dai would be unbearable; shed rather die on the spot!

Backing away, Jiang Yue spoke softly, Youre not my elder. Why should I kneel before you? Youre humiliating me, trampling on my dignity!

Gu Dai couldnt help but laugh at this, responding coldly, If I remember correctly, you were the one who suggested this form of punishment. And when you thought 1 had lost, you had no problem demanding that I kneel, without any concern for dignity or self-respect!

Jiang Yues face paled. She remained silent for a long moment, her eyes catching a car pulling up at the entrance. A glint of scheming darkness flashed across her eyes.

In the next second, tears s.h.i.+mmered in Jiang Yues eyes as she spoke in a pitiful tone, Yes, Im sorry, Sister Gu Dai. I shouldnt have competed with you for the tie in the first place. Then none of this would have happened.

Gu Dais eyebrows knitted together but she remained silent, curious to see what Jiang Yue was planning.

Jiang Yue continued, Its just that 1 love Brother Song Ling so much. 1 wanted to give him this tie as a gift, which is why 1 acted as 1 did. Can you understand me, Sister Gu Dai?

Hearing the sound of the stores door opening and seeing Jiang Yues woeful demeanor, Gu Dai guessed that Song Ling must have arrived.

So Jiang Yue was planning to frame her?

If that was the case, then she would play along.

With a cold voice, Gu Dai declared, Kneel before me, and Ill forgive you..
