Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 316: Manager Liu Makes a False Accusation
Just as Su Xiaoxiao was frantically reflecting, Yan Guohua spoke up.
"Xiao Su, why didn’t you think of me when you had such a good thing? Haven’t I been good enough to you?"
He pretended to speak seriously, with a tone carrying a hint of resentment.
"General Manager, what are you talking about? I might forget anyone, but I wouldn’t forget you!"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly pledged her loyalty.
This was her big boss, someone she couldn’t afford to offend.
"Then why didn’t you think about leaving me some of those pig’s blood and big bones?"
Yan Guohua spoke with even more resentment.
Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched; it turned out that this was the reason. Luckily, she still had quite a bit in her space.
She could always give the General Manager an extra portion.
She immediately promised, "Of course there’s your portion. I set it aside for you first but just haven’t had the chance to tell you yet."
"General Manager, how much would you like? I’ll bring it to you tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly, silently wiping sweat off her brow.
It seemed she had to consider the General Manager when good things happened in the future.
Yan Guohua was easily appeased by her. To have this kind of rarity pre-set aside for him was crucial; otherwise, it couldn’t just be produced on demand.
After some thought, he spoke, "Then I’ll take ten pounds of each, like Director Chen."
With that said, he immediately started pulling out money.
Seeing that he was going to pay market price, Su Xiaoxiao quickly repeated the same offer she’d given to the previous people.
She couldn’t possibly give others a discount coupon and charge the General Manager market price. If the General Manager found out, she wouldn’t be able to continue working at the department store.
After paying, Yan Guohua asked Su Xiaoxiao about the situation in Haining City, only then was she released back to the food counter.
Just back, Zhang Yulan embarrassedly stopped her: "Xiaoxiao, can I have two more pounds of that big bone?"
She had calculated that her family had so many members, and her mother-in-law would probably secretly give some to her nephew’s family, so ten pounds might not be enough.
Su Xiaoxiao calculated, she still had sixty pounds left, which was way too much to eat.
Right now she hadn’t found the opportunity to use the fridge, the small warehouse in her space didn’t have electricity, and with the cold weather, these fresh items could only last three or four days before they started to spoil.
She immediately said: "Sister Zhang, if you don’t have enough, I can give you five more pounds of each."
Zhang Yulan did not expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so generous, she was instantly moved.
She decided that whenever Su Xiaoxiao needed her help, she’d do her utmost.
While the two were talking, an annoying voice suddenly interjected from the side.
"Comrade Su, Mr. Zhang, what are you two discussing?"
Liu Changjiang had actually heard what they were discussing for a while and now just found an excuse to try to take advantage.
The price of pig’s blood and big bones sounded enticing.
Turning their heads to see it was him, their expressions simultaneously turned cold.
"It’s nothing, just discussing some personal matters between women, Manager Liu, surely you wouldn’t be interested in that, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking and looked mischievously at Liu Changjiang.
Liu Changjiang was choked by her words.
He had thought that as her immediate supervisor, she ought to curry favor with him out of sense and reason, but unexpectedly, this girl didn’t play by the rules.
"Manager Liu, do you have any business? If not, we’ll go on with our work first."
As soon as they finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Changjiang to react, each returned to their counters.
Liu Changjiang was so angry he ground his back teeth but was helpless.
Just wait, Su Xiaoxiao dared to treat him like this, he certainly wouldn’t let this brat have it easy.
He immediately snorted coldly and left with a dark expression.
The more he walked back, the more he felt annoyed; how could he, the dignified sales manager, let a mere salesperson ignore him? If this got out, where would he save face?
Thinking of this, he stopped and headed straight to the general manager’s office upstairs.
Yan Guohua had just returned to the office when the door was knocked on.
He immediately responded, "Come in."
As soon as he spoke, the office door was pushed open.
Seeing it was Liu Changjiang, a few strands of surprise appeared on Yan Guohua’s face.
"Manager Liu, what brings you here?"
No sooner said than Liu Changjiang gritted his teeth, "General Manager, I’m here to report something."
Yan Guohua looked noticeably surprised: "Report who?"
Liu Changjiang cleared his throat and began seriously, "General Manager, I want to report our department store’s salesperson Su Xiaoxiao."
"Who?"
Yan Guohua had just taken a sip from his enamel mug and almost sprayed it onto Liu Changjiang’s face: "Manager Liu, say that again, who do you want to report?"
Liu Changjiang straightened up and began seriously, "General Manager, I want to report Su Xiaoxiao for bribing leaders and colleagues."
"Pfft! This time Yan Guohua couldn’t hold back and sprayed Liu Changjiang all over.
Water mixed with tea leaves hung on Liu Changjiang’s face, dripping down drop by drop, looking exceptionally miserable.
But Liu Changjiang was entirely unconcerned, stepping forward with a serious expression: "General Manager, I want to report Su Xiaoxiao for using fresh pig’s blood and big bones to bribe colleagues and leaders to achieve her unspeakable secrets."
Yan Guohua listened, his mouth twitching sharply.
How did Comrade Su bribe him? What they had was clearly a normal transaction, right?
One paid, one delivered goods, what else was a normal transaction?
Hua Country was gradually opening up their private economy, only without formal public documents, but everyone already knew.
At most, Comrade Su was slacking during work hours, far from bribery.
Yan Guohua furrowed his brow and spoke, "Manager Liu, you might be misunderstanding Comrade Su. To my understanding, those transactions are fair and there’s no bribery involved."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Changjiang say: "General Manager, don’t be deceived by Su Xiaoxiao. Don’t underestimate her age, she’s really clever, and I overheard her bribing colleagues."
"As far as I know, it’s not her first time bribing colleagues and leaders. I reasonably suspect that her previous selection as the advanced salesperson is likely related to this. Otherwise, how could a newcomer like her be selected over so many veteran colleagues?"
Liu Changjiang thought more and more that this made sense.
Su Xiaoxiao must have used improper means to win favor from the leaders and fellow colleagues. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The General Manager and Director Chen must both have been deceived by this little girl.
He vowed this yet failed to notice Yan Guohua’s increasingly dark expression.
After a while, Yan Guohua spoke coldly, "Alright, since you claim Comrade Su bribed colleagues and leaders, do you have any evidence?"
"This..."
Liu Changjiang thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead confidently, "General Manager, whether what I said is true, calling over Qin Shuang and Zhang Yulan to ask will tell."
