Chapter 208: Collecting Evidence
Translator: Lonelytree
“This boss is really too much.”
“Sister, don’t worry. We are not afraid of those people from the underworld. Do they think that a small supermarket boss can really rule over the entire Xingyin County?”
…
Inside De Wang Supermarket, Gu Qingjiao was bossing people around when she heard a series of knocking on the door.
Gu Qingjiao frowned and was very puzzled. ‘What is going on outside?’
She thought for a moment and then got an employee to open the door.
The employee put down the work and obliged.
The supermarket’s main door was the roll-up kind. After pressing a button, the door would roll up. The employee saw a young man holding a wooden stick out the door.
She was so scared that her face turned white. She screamed, “Who are you? What do you want?”
Xiao Lingye didn’t trouble the young woman. He spoke to her politely, “We are not here to create problems for you. We are here to look for your boss. Go and get your black-hearted boss and his wife.”
The employee, Zhang Xiaoqing, was nervous. She stuttered, “Why… Why are you looking for the Boss?”
Xiao Xinxin saw Zhang Xiaoqing and came over, “Xiaoqing, it’s me, Xiao Xinxin.”
“Xinxin!” Zhang Xiaoqing was surprised when she saw Xiao Xinxin. She saw the people behind Xiao Xinxin, and she immediately understood what was happening. Zhang Xiaoqing was only a small employee, and she was not going to cover for the boss.
She said, “Wait a moment. I’ll go get the Madam Boss.”
Zhang Xiaoqing ran back into the shop. She was a bit flustered. She accidentally touched the shelves, and the things on the shelves were knocked down and scattered everywhere!
The Madam Boss’ face darkened immediately. She angrily questioned, “Zhang Xiaoqing, what are you doing? That is on you. You’ll be deducted 50 RMB!”
Zhang Xiaoqing’s face immediately showed a hint of anger. Then, she said in a very unpleasant tone, “Madam Boss, someone came to cause trouble outside.”
In her heart, she scolded. ‘Who told you to chase Xinxin out in the middle of the night?! Now, her family comes to seek revenge!’
Zhang Xiaoqing hoped that this matter could be blown up as much as possible!
But in her heart, she was a little worried. She knew that Xiao Xinxin was also from the countryside. Her parents were farmers, and she didn’t have any relatives in the county, let alone any backers.
The boss and his wife had connections. They weren’t afraid of people coming to cause trouble.
It was best if Xiao Xinxin’s family could win, but if they lost, the two narrow-minded bosses would take revenge on them.
When Gu Qingjiao heard that someone was causing trouble outside, her anger immediately rose. She said angrily, “Who is causing trouble? It’s still early in the morning!”
It was bad luck to have problems before the shop even opened.
Zhang Xiaoqing said, “It’s Xiao Xinxin and her family!”
“That bitch!” The Madam Boss hissed angrily. “She dares to bring her family to create problems for me in the morning? Does she think I am so easily bullied? It looks like I really need to treat her a lesson.” She stomped towards the door.
Zhang Xiaoqing thought for a moment and followed behind. She even motioned for the new employee to go with her.
The new employee was a little timid, and she was afraid that the boss would deduct her salary later. She pretended not to see Zhang Xiaoqing and worked obediently.
Zhang Xiaoqing did not think as much as she did. She wanted to watch the show. It would be best if the boss could suffer!
At worst, she would follow Xiao Xinxin’s lead and quit!
Gu Qingjiao ran to the door and saw a young man holding a wooden stick standing in the middle of the door.
When Gu Qingjiao met his dark eyes, she was stunned for a moment.
But when she came to her senses, the fury climbed another level.
She looked at Xiao Lingye and sternly asked, “Who are you?”
A cold smile appeared on Xiao Lingye’s handsome face as he said, “Who am I? I’m the younger brother of your employee, Xiao Xinxin! She was chased out yesterday night!”
Hearing Xiao Lingye’s self-introduction, Gu Qingjiao spat on the ground and said, “And I thought we were in the company of some big shot. So you’re that bitch’s younger brother. In that case, you have to be a country bumpkin too. What do you think you can do to me?”
“You’ll find out soon enough. But now I just want to know. Was Xiao Xinxin your employee? Did you deduct her salary?”
Gu Qingjiao knew Xiao Xinxin’s family background, so even if her family came to cause trouble, she wasn’t afraid at all.
She said arrogantly without thinking, “Xiao Xinxin used to be my employee. But she was fired yesterday! As for her salary…” Her long and narrow eyebrows revealed a mocking and contemptuous expression as she said disdainfully, “She came late and left early every day, so shouldn’t I deduct her salary?”
“Even so, it doesn’t warrant deducting almost half of her salary! Plus, I know my Sister Xinxin well. She is a very diligent and hardworking person.” Xiao Lingy argued, “She might be occasionally late, but she won’t be late every day. Plus, she is a fast learner. There is no way she can make the same mistakes every time. You have to be deducting her salary because you want to!”
Gu Qingjiao said loudly, “Yes, you’re right! I am her boss, so I decide how much salary she will get. If you’re that capable, go and sue me. She hasn’t even signed the labor contract. So let’s see how you’d sue me. As long as I insist that she’s not my employee, what can you do to me?”
“Wow, how arrogant!”
The crowd around the shop couldn’t stand it anymore.
“I’ve lived here my whole life, but this is the first time I see a boss bullying her employee so openly. She is too arrogant!”
Xiao Lingye turned to the crowd. “Aunties and Uncles, you hear the Madam Boss, right? She has admitted earlier that Sister Xinxin is her employee, right?”
“Don’t worry, young man, we all heard it. I will gladly testify for you if they refuse to admit your sister worked here!”
“Right, we’ll all testify for you! These people can’t be so arrogant and treat their employees like slaves! This can’t be allowed to stand!”
Gu Qingjiao was simply dumbfounded when she heard the crowd.
