After Being Reborn and Bound to a System, I Became a Rich, Beautiful, and Successful Woman

26: Deputy Manager Xu Yan”Please swipe the card!” Jiang He said, handing her bank card to the store manager.

The store manager looked at the bank card in Jiang He’s hand; it was just an ordinary card.

When Yang Shuang and Meng Xi saw it, they confirmed that she indeed wasn’t from some wealthy family.

”Little sister, this bank card of yours wouldn’t happen to be a credit card, would it?”

Jiang He wasn’t angry and replied indifferently, ”Try it, and you’ll know if it’s a credit card or not!”

Jiang Yan stood by her sister’s side the whole time, watching the two people in front of them.

Seeing that it wasn’t her own money anyway, the manager took the card and handed it to the person behind her. ”Alright, Miss, please wait a moment.”

At that moment, Jiang Li received a call from the general manager of the LM Center Building.

”Chairman, I am truly sorry. I was delayed by some matters. Where are you now?”

On the other end of the line, Lu Zhen, the general manager of the LM Center Building, spoke apologetically.

Jiang Li said, ”It’s fine. I happened to want to buy some clothes and am currently shopping. You can just come directly to the [Brand] store on the third floor.”

Lu Zhen replied, ”Alright, Chairman. Please wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up, Lu Zhen hurried to the underground parking lot to take the elevator upstairs.

As the general manager of the LM Center Building, he had long since memorized the layout of the place.

Within three minutes, he appeared at the entrance.

Just as the cashier finished processing the payment, packed the clothes, and handed them to Jiang He, General Manager Lu Zhen walked in.

He approached Jiang Li and said, ”Chairman, I’m sorry I’m late.”

”It’s fine. I’m just here today to take over LM.”

”Yes, Chairman. The previous chairman told me yesterday, and I’ve brought the contract. Shall we go to the office?”

Jiang Li replied, ”Sure. By the way, how did this shop get in here?”

Upon hearing Lu Zhen’s words, the store manager, sales staff, and cashier—including Yang Shuang and Meng Xi—were momentarily stunned, not knowing what to do.

They didn’t know who the chairman of LM was, but they certainly knew who Lu Zhen was.

This woman was actually the chairman of LM, and they seemed to have just offended her sister.

Lu Zhen looked at the shop’s sign and thought for a moment. ”It seems they moved here from Lanxin Plaza about a month ago. I recall this brand didn’t meet our requirements, but I’m not sure how they got in. After I noticed it, I was delayed by some other matters. Chairman, I’m sorry; this was my oversight.”

Lu Zhen’s mother was ill, so he had been splitting his time between LM and the hospital lately.

He was 29 years old, unmarried, and had no partner. As an only child whose father had passed away early, he had to take care of his mother by himself.

Lu Zhen had grown much thinner over the past few days.

Jiang Li said, ”It’s fine. Go and investigate now. If they don’t meet the standards, then kick them out. I don’t want to see such things happening in the LM Center Building again.”

Lanxin Plaza wasn’t a very large place, and its prices were generally geared toward the common people.

Lu Zhen replied, ”Yes, ma’am.”

Jiang Li and her parents headed to the top-floor office. As soon as Jiang He and Jiang Yan left the shop, they saw a cleaning lady outside and gave the clothes to her.

They had only bought the clothes to spite those two women anyway.

Even if they were buying clothes for their grandmother, they wouldn’t choose something like that.

[Ding~ The host and the host’s sisters have dealt with villains. Reward: 100 million yuan in cash and one SSC Tuatara supercar.]

Sitting in the office, Jiang Li listened to the system’s notification. She hadn’t expected a reward for this; not bad at all.

After Jiang Li’s family left, the store manager looked at Lu Zhen and hurriedly pleaded for him to spare her.

”Manager Lu, could you please show some leniency? I’ve only been here for a month. The LM Center Building is the best market besides the Center Building, I...”

”Xu Lian, I remember you now. Your cousin is Xu Yan; he’s the one who arranged for you to be here, isn’t he? I remember your shop was rejected initially. I’ve been busy lately and forgot about your case, but now that you’ve run into the Chairman, there’s nothing I can do.”

Xu Yan was the deputy manager, one rank below him, but he was always insubordinate.

He was probably already on his way.

Lu Zhen had seen Xu Lian sending a message just now.

When Xu Yan arrived, he saw his cousin sitting on the floor, crying.

”Lianlian, are you okay?”

”Cousin, what should I do? They want to kick my shop out. What am I going to do?” Xu Lian cried out, leaning into Xu Yan’s arms.

Indeed, she shouted it out, hoping everyone nearby would hear. If it spread online, she and her shop might even gain a bit of fame.

Seeing his cousin crying so miserably, Xu Yan’s heart ached for her. ”Lianlian, it’s okay. Your cousin is here.”

”Sit down for a moment.” Xu Yan helped Xu Lian onto the sofa.

Then he walked toward Lu Zhen and glared at him fiercely.

Lu Zhen had been parachuted into his position; otherwise, the general manager role would have been his.

”Lu Zhen, you’re really something. What’s wrong with my cousin’s shop that you’d actually want to kick it out?”

Lu Zhen didn’t want to argue with him and simply said, ”The Chairman is waiting in the office. Let’s go there now.”

”Fine, I’d like to see if the Chairman sides with you or me.”

Xu Yan actually had some connection with the previous chairman of LM, but now... Supporting Xu Lian, Xu Yan walked slowly, following Lu Zhen into the office.

To their surprise, they found several people sitting inside.

Moreover, a girl was sitting in the Chairman’s seat, with another girl playing beside her.

He immediately let go of Xu Lian and scolded them, ”Who are you two? Is this a place where you can just sit and play?!”

Hearing someone scolding her sister, Jiang Li immediately spoke up, ”What? My sister can’t sit in my seat? I haven’t said a word, so what are you yapping about? And who are you?!”

Hearing Jiang Li, Xu Yan looked over. Indeed, a woman was sitting on the sofa, claiming it was her seat. That was the Chairman’s seat; how could it be hers?

”Who are you? You’re the Chairman of LM? How come I didn’t know that?”

Xu Yan spoke up directly, unable to stand the sight of Jiang Li on the sofa.

Now Xu Lian was frightened; she hadn’t expected her cousin to be so foolish.

Hearing this, Lu Zhen immediately interjected, ”Xu Yan, this is the Chairman. Do not be insolent. This is not your office.”

Xu Yan still didn’t believe it, but his cousin spoke up as well. ”Cousin, she is the Chairman. Manager Lu already said so.”

”How is that possible? How could Uncle sell LM?!”

Jiang Li said, ”There are many things you can’t imagine. What are you and this lady doing here? Are you here to settle a score?”

Knowing that Jiang Li held his future career in her hands, Xu Yan immediately backed down. ”No... I wouldn’t dare.”

”Xu Yan, during your time here, you’ve frequently evaded taxes and profited from price differences. Did you think I didn’t know?”

Hearing this, Xu Yan’s eyes were instantly filled with fear and panic. How was it possible? How could she know?

And hadn’t she just become the Chairman?!
