Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 317: Manager Liu Gets Scolded

These two people seemed to have a good relationship with Su Xiaoxiao, but he was their superior, and anyone with sense knew which side to back.

Liu Changjiang waited for someone to call Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang, pondering to himself.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the deli counter, and the three of them were huddling together whispering.

While they were talking, Zhang Yulan suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Sister Zhang, Comrade Qin, the general manager wants to see you both."

Little Liu, responsible for passing messages, said.

He casually reminded them, "I noticed Manager Liu is there too, so be careful."

Everyone in the sales department knew what kind of person Liu Changjiang was instinctively knew it was nothing good.

Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang exchanged a glance, unable to comprehend why Manager Liu was looking for them.

They shouldn’t have done anything wrong recently, no reason to be reported to the general manager.

They were both filled with doubt on the way.

The door to the general manager’s office was half-open. Zhang Yulan symbolically knocked twice before hearing Yan Guohua’s voice from inside.

"Come in."

The two pushed the door open nervously and indeed saw the familiar face of Liu Changjiang.

This person was unusually mild today, smiling warmly at them.

"Manager Liu, don’t smile at us like that, it’s unsettling!"

Zhang Yulan was so provoked by the smile that she blurted out instinctively.

Liu Changjiang: "..."

Laughing one moment, not smiling the next.

His face turned long again.

What does Zhang Yulan mean? Has he never smiled at them before?

Despite being unhappy, he had to hold it in because Yan Guohua was still there.

"Okay, do you know why you were called over?"

Without waiting for Yan Guohua to speak, he asked first.

Looking at his long donkey face, Zhang Yulan felt more at ease.

Look, this expression suits Manager Liu.

Earlier, he looked so cheerful it frightened her.

Both shook their heads; they had no idea why they were called.

Zhang Yulan thought she hadn’t done anything to offend Manager Liu recently, at most she had called him meticulous behind his back, and accidentally knocked over Manager Liu’s bicycle, puncturing a tire.

Could it be she was caught while puncturing the tire?

No, Qin Shuang helped her keep watch back then.

While lost in frantic thoughts, Manager Liu cleared his throat and spoke, "Did Comrade Su just bribe you and Director Chen with pig’s blood and bones?"

"This matter concerns the atmosphere of our department store. You mustn’t protect certain individuals just because you’re familiar with them and not speak the truth."

Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang exchanged looks. So it was about this, and immediately sighed in relief.

"General Manager, that’s not true. Comrade Su was just helping us carry things. It was something her relatives brought. We paid cash on delivery, it’s not a bribe. If anything, it’s Comrade Su’s kindness, always thinking of us when something good happens."

Leading the explanation, Zhang Yulan took the helm, and Qin Shuang nodded vigorously, "Sister Zhang is right."

Yan Guohua obviously knew what was going on. He specifically called the two over to confront them and give Liu Changjiang a serious lesson.

This man in the position of sales manager wasn’t focusing on improving work but catching little faults from the salespeople below him.

As sales department manager, instead of setting an example, he was busy gossiping like the village grandmothers.

However, upon hearing the expected answer, Yan Guohua looked at Liu Changjiang, as if to ask if he had anything to explain.

Meeting Yan Guohua’s gaze, Liu Changjiang felt insecure for a moment, glaring at Zhang Yulan.

He realized, Zhang Yulan was in charge, and Qin Shuang was just a follower.

"Mr. Zhang, you better think clearly before speaking, if it’s discovered you’re lying, you know the consequences."

His words were full of threats, but Zhang Yulan completely ignored them, chuckling lightly, "Manager Liu, I never tell lies, unlike certain people who can’t exploit others so they retaliate behind their backs, despicable!"

If it weren’t for the presence of Yan Guohua, Zhang Yulan almost spat at Liu Changjiang’s face.

Ridiculous! Called a manager but has a temper smaller than a needle’s eye.

Qin Shuang immediately nodded, "Yes, Sister Zhang is right, despicable!"

Liu Changjiang: "..."

For god’s sake, don’t agree with him on such things, alright? This girl seems to be deliberately provoking him.

Anyway, Manager Liu was quite agitated.

The despicable label from Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang was directed at him, just short of calling his name directly.

Yan Guohua glared at Liu Changjiang, "Manager Liu, anything else to say? As a department manager, you don’t focus on work but on catching little faults among the salespeople under you. You’re a sales manager, not a village gossip, what is this behavior?"

Yan Guohua has disapproved of Manager Liu since before. But since he’s a distant relative of the previous general manager, he has to give him a bit of face.

Yet, since he’s been here, besides flattering others, he’s done nothing substantial, and considering this matter, Yan Guohua is regretting placing him in such an important position.

Listening to Yan Guohua’s reprimands, Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang’s eyes gleamed brightly, showing their gossipy expressions.

Meeting their gaze, Yan Guohua picked up an enamel mug and took a sip, "You two may leave now. This matter doesn’t concern you anymore."

With the general manager’s words, the two left reluctantly.

Oh well, they couldn’t see the drama; they had hoped to watch Manager Liu get scolded thoroughly.

As the office door closed, there was an immediate "Duang" sound inside, from the enamel mug colliding harshly with the desk.

Followed by Yan Guohua’s voice getting louder.

The yelling was so loud they could hear it clearly from a floor below.

The two shivered in unison, the general manager, usually polite, wasn’t soft when scolding.

Returning to the deli counter, they met Su Xiaoxiao’s curious gaze.

"Sister Zhang, Shuangshuang, what did the general manager want with you just now? I thought I heard the general manager scolding Liu Changjiang?"

Su Xiaoxiao was dying of curiosity about Liu Changjiang getting scolded.

Looking around to ensure no one was paying attention, Zhang Yulan approached Su Xiaoxiao and recounted what happened in the office.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but click her tongue, this person really is petty, reporting her over something so minor. How could a man be more narrow-minded than a woman?

While they were talking, speak of the devil, and the devil appears.

Liu Changjiang’s face seemed even longer.

He walked over and glared viciously at Su Xiaoxiao, then strode over to her direction with a strong intent.

Watching his manner, Su Xiaoxiao quietly pulled out the anti-wolf tool from her pocket.

Could this person be upset enough to start trouble with her?
