Chapter 140 Dealing with Rat Droppings
What's all the noise at the door?
The noise at the entrance affected the business of the Youzi branch, and finally alerted the store manager.
This is a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looks quite refined.
Tong Anjin and the other two's eyes lit up when they saw him.
"Manager Zhou, you're finally out! There's trouble here!" The two young masters immediately started to accuse others.
"It's this kid! He actually dared to question whether An Jin's platinum card was fake! He's deliberately trying to cause trouble and sabotage Youzi's business!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Zhou's face darkened, and he looked sharply at Xiao Chen.
“Young man, do you know what serious consequences there will be for causing trouble here?” His tone was menacing.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
With his keen eye, he could tell from the three men's subtle expressions that the manager had a close relationship with them.
"Manager Zhou, where are the things I asked for?" Before Xiao Chen could speak, Tong Anjin asked impatiently, full of anticipation.
Manager Zhou smiled slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of doting, and took out a beautifully packaged little box from his pocket.
The packaging says: Youth Pill Mini Version 2nd Generation.
This is a diluted version of the Youth Pill.
The finished youth pills can maintain youth for ten years and are priced at 60 million.
The mini versions of the first and second generation drugs have only one-fifth and one-tenth the efficacy of the finished products, respectively, and are priced at 30 million and 6 million.
The mini version exists not because it sells better, but because it's easier for Xiao Chen to refine.
Now, due to Xiao Chen's slacking off, the supply of Youth Pills is tight, and even the mini version of the second generation has become a limited edition. Many high-ranking officials and nobles have to go through connections and spend a lot of money to get their hands on them.
Only members of Youzi Makeup Platinum Club are eligible to participate in a lottery for purchase privileges, and the odds of winning are quite low...
These days, possessing a Youth Pill is even considered a symbol of strength and status.
Manager Zhou just gave Tong Anjin a mini version of the second-generation one...
After receiving the Youth Pill, Tong Anjin was so excited that she couldn't stop smiling and wished she could swallow it right away.
But she wanted to show off even more.
"If I take this youth pill, I will become even more beautiful and even more unattainable for you. Break off the engagement? Heh, only my Tong family will break off the engagement. You just wait to be disgraced!" she whispered to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's gaze was icy. He stretched out a hand and moved it towards the box in her arms. In an instant, the box left her arms and flew into Xiao Chen's hand.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
"My youth pill! Give me back my youth pill!" Tong Anjin was shocked and her pretty face turned ferocious as she lunged at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen merely waved his hand, and she was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
"You're not worthy to use this youth pill," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Ouch..." Tong Anjin cried out in pain, and the two young men rushed to help her up.
"Outrageous! How dare he assault someone in the black market and openly rob someone!" Manager Zhou roared in fury, "Guards! Arrest this kid!"
Black market security personnel approached.
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with sympathy.
Although it's satisfying, stealing things on the black market is a serious offense; you could lose a hand or a leg.
"Uncle! It hurts so much! Help me teach him a lesson!" Tong Anjin shouted angrily after being helped up.
"Don't worry, An Jin. This kid dared to break the rules of the black market. I don't need to tell you, the black market won't let him off easily!" Manager Zhou comforted her.
Xiao Chen stared at Manager Zhou.
It turns out these two are uncle and niece...
No wonder the platinum card that hadn't even been issued yet ended up in Tong Anjin's hands.
"The platinum card was given to Tong Anjin in violation of regulations, and the same goes for the youth pills?" Xiao Chen's face turned menacing.
"I'm the head of this branch. How I do things is none of your business, a mere kid. I have my reasons!" Manager Zhou said coldly.
"You should worry about yourself first, you're so arrogant!" He looked at the black market personnel who were walking towards him and sneered.
Soon, the black market personnel approached; they were tall and burly, exuding an imposing aura.
But they did not take any further action.
"What are you all standing there for? Arrest them!" Manager Zhou shouted.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to boss around black market operators.
But as the branch manager of Youzi, he was treated very politely by the black market people, which gave him the confidence to act arrogantly.
Xiao Chen took out his phone and made a call. After the call connected...
"How did you recruit people? Look at this shop manager in Jiang City's black market, what kind of trash is he? This kind of animalistic dog isn't even qualified to be a shop assistant!" He angrily berated the person on the phone, then hung up immediately.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Good grief, what's going on here?
Manager Zhou's face was ashen, and he was seething with anger.
"How dare you!" He pointed at Xiao Chen, about to vent his anger, when the phone suddenly rang.
"General Manager?" He glanced at the note, paused with a puzzled look, and then quickly answered the call.
"Zhou Song, you bastard, what have you done? Are you trying to kill me? If I were here, I would kill you!" came an enraged voice from the phone.
Manager Zhou froze, and everyone else followed suit, stunned.
what happened?
Why is the general manager of U-Treads so angry?
"General Manager...I..." Manager Zhou was thoroughly scolded and lost all his temper, feeling terrified and uneasy.
He still didn't understand what had happened.
"Whatever you did, apologize to that gentleman immediately! Right now! Immediately! Otherwise, I'll ruin you completely!" the general manager roared.
"What?" Manager Zhou asked incredulously, his expression stiff.
Should he apologize to Xiao Chen?
why?
Who is this kid?
Tong Anjin and the other two were shocked and completely baffled.
Why was the general manager of Youzi so angry that he made the branch manager apologize to Xiao Chen?
Who exactly did Xiao Chen call?
Isn't he just an ordinary member of the Xiao family, an outcast of Nancheng?
Does he really have that much ability?
The three did not believe it.
"I...I..." Manager Zhou's face turned pale, and he was completely flustered and at a loss.
He looked at Xiao Chen with fear, hesitatingly trying to speak.
"No need," Xiao Chen waved his hand dismissively.
"As a branch manager of Youzi, you abused your power for personal gain, privately issued platinum cards to unqualified individuals, and illegally stole goods. Youzi cannot afford to employ someone like that, and you are fired."
Manager Zhou was dumbfounded.
At that moment, he didn't know what to say.
I still couldn't come to my senses.
“There’s a problem with the staff at Youzi, and it’s quite serious. I think we should ask you to help us deal with it,” Xiao Chen said to the black market staff.
"Ok."
They nodded, came over, and helped Manager Zhou up.
"What? What are you doing? No...don't..." Manager Zhou finally reacted, his face filled with terror.
Who wouldn't be afraid of the black market's methods?
Even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured!
But this is the black market, and the black market has its own rules.
Manager Zhou tried to shout and beg Xiao Chen for mercy, but his mouth was gagged and he couldn't make a sound. He could only stare wide-eyed as he was taken away.
"This..." Tong Anjin and the other two were stunned, unable to process what was happening.
How could things change so quickly?
Xiao Chen walked up to Tong Anjin and took the platinum card from her hand.
"I don't think you'll ever have a Uniqlo Platinum Card in your lifetime."
"From now on, you will be on Youzi's blacklist."
After saying that, Xiao Chen went into the shop, leaving the three of them standing stiffly outside.
