CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 274: BURGLARS SCOUTING THE AREA

To change the subject, Lin Wanwan quickly asked Gu Jingyu, "You two are getting married soon. Have you bought a new car?"

Gu Jingyu shrugged and said, "Buy what? I don’t even earn five thousand a month. Riding a scooter is good enough."

Lin Wanwan asked, "Not even five thousand a month? How come? Don’t you work in cross-border e-commerce operations? I heard the market rate is over six thousand."

Gu Jingyu laughed bitterly and said, "I’m not talking about me. I earn seven thousand a month. I’m talking about him, my fiancé. He works in freight forwarding, struggling to get business going; five thousand is barely attainable."

"Oh," Lin Wanwan replied casually, "That’s less than you make."

"Eh, can’t help it. But we’re all just graduated not long ago, things will get better in the future."

"And your apartment, no mortgage?"

"Yes, four thousand a month. His parents said they’ll help pay half."

"So then you guys pay another two thousand yourselves. Considering your salary, it’s probably not too much pressure."

"Oh, my dear Wanwan, who lives above worldly troubles, you have a house left by your grandparents; we don’t. How can there not be pressure when we still have to have kids and raise them in the future? It’ll definitely affect my salary then, and I’m already worried. The worst part is I’m paying the mortgage, but my name isn’t on the deed."

Lin Wanwan didn’t know what to say; there was no solution to this problem. Unless Gu Jingyu is willing to break up and find another boyfriend.

"Don’t worry needlessly. Maybe by then his business will improve, and you can calmly get pregnant and raise kids."

"It’s not that easy."

After complaining a bit more in the car, Gu Jingyu picked up her phone to find the sv website: "I’m going to complain about those store clerks."

Lin Wanwan laughed, "You still remember!"

Gu Jingyu gritted her teeth and said, "Of course! I excitedly came to shop for wedding items, and they ruined my mood. There’s no way I can just let it go! Moreover, they even said my bag was fake! This was a gift from him when he proposed!"

Lin Wanwan glanced at the Lady Dior bag, her lips moved like she wanted to suggest maybe it’s really fake, why not get it authenticated.

After all, his salary is less than five thousand, and his parents wouldn’t even fork out any dowry. The official price of a genuine Lady Dior bag is over forty thousand; would he really be willing to buy it?

Lin Wanwan was very skeptical; based on Gu Jingyu’s various descriptions of him, she thought it was unlikely he would be willing to buy a real Lady Dior bag.

But observing Gu Jingyu at the moment, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

After all, it’s just a bag, real or fake doesn’t really matter. Gu Jingyu compromised on the house issue, she’s even less likely to fall out over a bag.

If it turns out to be genuine, that’s fine, but if it’s fake, wouldn’t it be awkward? Better to stay in blissful ignorance.

Most things in this world are like drinking water; only those experiencing it know the temperature, better not to meddle.

When they arrived at Gu Jingyu’s apartment building, the complaint feedback email from sv had already been sent.

Gu Jingyu was surprised, "The efficiency of sv is so high this time! Wow, great. The official statement says they’ve verified the incident and will terminate the employment contract with the other party! Isn’t that basically firing? Sweet!"

Lin Wanwan was a bit surprised too, "Looking at those few, it’s probably not their first time. They definitely act superior routinely, look down on people. Why do others not complain? Your complaint had an effect?"

"I don’t know either; maybe they wanted to reform?"

Gu Jingyu was also a bit puzzled, she actually sent the complaint email just to vent, didn’t expect a quick reply, nor did she expect to cause any trouble for the store clerks. It was simply an attempt to create some hassle for them, to annoy them a bit, yet she didn’t anticipate the fast feedback.

In the sv store, the clerk who previously insulted Lin Wanwan and Gu Jingyu had just hung up the store manager’s call, her face red with anger!

Being complained about was common enough for her, it wasn’t her first time. In the store training, they were told not to be too enthusiastic towards customers. It’s the sv characteristic.

But this time she was actually complained by a platinum vic, and the manager asked her to go home for a break, waiting for the processing result.

She was bitterly aggrieved, feeling like her long-kept innocence was deceived.

How could she dare offend a platinum vic God of Wealth, she only offended those two women carrying fake bags.

Speaking about that rich lady, truly wealthy, why wear all Taobao stuff and carry a canvas bag worth ten odd bucks when visiting a luxury store!

Do you think you’re the diving queen? People like her could carry a cheap bag and no one would mistake her for a poor person; her famous face is her best label.

Ordinary people rely on clothes to make the man! Can’t blame her for it!

She wasn’t living in the Guangdong Province, where people wearing shorts drive Ferraris, she was in Yongcheng, next in trendiness only to Hai City! It’s a place where even for a PCR test, a full makeup is a must!

She was deceived by them terribly, now the manager saying to take a break is basically a disguised firing, forcing her to resign.

I mean, these store clerks don’t have much base salary; all depend on sales commission. Going home and not selling means she couldn’t even pay rent.

She rents in a decent community for self-investment, hoping to snag a rich second generation someday, and the monthly rent is six thousand!

What to do now! Even if she goes for labor arbitration, compensation would barely be any.

This year she jumped from a Gucci store to sv, haven’t worked a full year, being fired means hardly any severance pay, and it’ll affect her chances to find another luxury store clerk job.

Because luxury stores require the bill of discharge from the previous job when hiring staff.

The thought of misjudging today, offending someone she shouldn’t have, filled her with regret.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately sought out Su Yanwei, hoping he’d help contact Lu Shouyue and his cousin to apologize.

But Su Yanwei, upon learning she humiliated Lin Wanwan, wouldn’t pay her any mind.

For Gu Jingyu, the complaint was a venting tool, for Lu Shouyue, it was a casual action.

Gu Jingyu’s complaint was a trivial matter for others, but it wasn’t the same for Lu Shouyue.

Nonetheless, Lu Shouyue wouldn’t care whether the clerks become unemployed due to his complaint, or if it affects their lives.

Honestly, he had no concern for unrelated small players. Mistakes lead to consequences, he wouldn’t show excess sympathy.

If he were a benevolent gentleman, he couldn’t have managed the antique shop and auction house so successfully.

That industry is indeed extremely intricate.

After dropping Gu Jingyu off, upon returning to her villa, Lin Wanwan discovered thieves were eyeing her place from the outside camera!

The video showed a masked and hatted shadow sneaking around her yard, definitely a thief scouting!

The area was a villa neighborhood, but the security wasn’t impressive. After all, it was just a suburban community, not a real mansion district.
