Greg Jensen didn’t elaborate further, Qi-blood Pills if they were that cheap, wouldn’t they be everywhere on the streets?
A decade-old Lingzhi mushroom costs tens of thousands of yuan.
Having spent hundreds of thousands, Greg Jensen would be lying if he said he wasn’t distressed, but thinking about the benefits that came with the increase in his cultivation realm, he still felt it was money well spent.
The two million yuan that Boss Liu gave him had already been mostly spent, and on top of that, he had passed tens of thousands through Lois Abbott to Lindsey Wolfe, leaving him with only a few hundred thousand yuan in hand now.
In just three short months, Greg Jensen had already spent over a million yuan. It’s said that cultivators value wealth, companionship, law, and land, and now it seemed to be true.
After buying the medicinal materials, Lois Abbott took Greg Jensen to the biggest mall in the county, planning to buy him a few pieces of clothing.
Up until now, Greg Jensen was still wearing street stall clothes, not looking at all like someone with a bank account holding over a million yuan.
Lois Abbott, like a dutiful little wife, picked out clothes and held them up to Greg Jensen to size them up, before telling him to take them and try them on. Greg Jensen, like a puppet, put up with the strange looks and let Lois Abbott fiddle with him.
Especially at the checkout, the looks the female sales associates gave him were filled with disdain and contempt.
“A fully grown man, with hands and feet, actually lives off a woman.”
“Yeah, it’s really shameful!”
Lois Abbott’s face darkened, and she turned back and snapped, “It’s my damn business if 1 want him to live off me. Are you saying you want my boyfriend to live off you? My boyfriend wouldn’t even do it.”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
When the young saleswoman heard her, she immediately exploded, retorting angrily, “Who wants your boyfriend to live off women? I don’t lack shame like you do!”
“Where is your manager? Call your manager here!” Lois Abbott said with a stern face.
The saleswoman sneered, “You think you can just order someone to come by saying so? Who do you think you are?”
As they were speaking, a middle-aged man came out from the inside.
Seeing him coming out, the saleswoman immediately perked up and said coquettishly, “Brother-in-law, they are bullying me.”
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows and took a glance at the two before saying indifferently, “Hello, I am the manager of this store. May I know why you are insulting our sales staff?”
“I insult her?”
Lois Abbott laughed angrily, pointing at the surveillance camera and said, “You can check the surveillance to see what this saleswoman has been saying about my boyfriend.
It’s one thing to be indifferent to customers, but to gossip behind their back? Is that the kind of service your store provides?”
The matter was actually quite simple, as every shop had surveillance cameras, and most of them were equipped with sound pickups these days.
Just by checking the surveillance footage, one would know what had happened.
However, the manager didn’t move an inch but just said with a cold face, “No need to check. I trust our employee’s quality.”
He paused, then continued, “Moreover, we do not welcome customers who create trouble for no reason, so please refrain from coming here next time.”
“I am creating trouble for no reason?”
Lois Abbott was almost driven mad by anger and said, “With a decrepit store like yours and a manager who doesn’t distinguish right from wrong, no wonder your store doesn’t get any better.”
“Then we’ll do without your concern,” the manager said with a sneer, pointing towards the door, “Now please leave.”
“Your mall’s boss is named Augustus Wolfe, right?” Greg Jensen suddenly asked.
I le hadn’t wanted to interfere originally since it was just a quarrel between two women, and it wasn’t proper for a man to get involved.
And he thought that after the manager intervened, the issue would be resolved amicably. He hadn’t expected the manager to be even more infuriating, blaming Lois Abbott without even checking the surveillance.
Seeing that he had mentioned the big boss Augustus Wolfe, a hint of caution rose in the manager’s eyes, but looking at Greg Jensen’s shabby attire, his brows relaxed again.
He scoffed, “Well, well, do you actually know our big boss? Have you even looked at yourself? Even if you know our big boss, did you ever think whether the big boss would recognize someone like you?”
Greg Jensen just smiled without responding and directly took out his phone to call Augustus Wolfe.
“I’m having a bit of trouble at your mall. Can you come over? I’ll send you the location in a moment,” she said.
Upon hearing this, Augustus Wolfe quickly responded, “No problem, I’ll be there right away!”
“Do you really know our boss?”
“Heh, whether I know him or not, won’t you find out soon?”
The store manager, seeing the confidence in Greg Jensen’s demeanor, couldn’t help but feel anxious and mused,
Brother, how about this? I’ll give you a discount coupon, and we’ll call it even today. What do you think?”
lhe female sales associate immediately objected, tugging at his arm, “Brother-in-law, why should we give them a discount coupon?”
“Get out of here, what do you know!”
lhe store manager pushed away the sales associate, looked up at Greg Jensen, and said, “Well? Do you need to think about it? Our store’s discount coupons ’ aren’t something just anyone can get.”
Lois Abbott scoffed, “We need your discount coupons? Just wait, we’ll talk when Augustus Wolfe gets here!”
“Please go outside and wait, don’t interfere with our business.”
The store manager thought for a long time, but still found it unbelievable.
Because he had called Augustus Wolfe earlier and was told that Wolfe was in a meeting and would talk later if there was an issue.
He was a store manager after all. Even he couldn’t get through to the boss when he called, but when Greg Jensen called, Augustus Wolfe said he would come right over.
How could that be possible?
With this thought, the store manager felt relieved and, seeing that Lois Abbott and Greg Jensen were still standing at the entrance, said sternly,
“What are you still doing here? I’ve already said, if you want to wait, go outside and wait. Don’t hold up our business.”
“We like waiting here. Can you control that?”
Lois Abbott gave him a cold glance and wrapped her arms around Greg Jensen’s silently.
Greg Jensen didn’t take him seriously at all, not even giving him a glance, and instead started playing Sokoban on his phone.
The store manager was so angry his lungs were about to burst as he shouted,
“If you don’t leave, I’m going to call security!”
“Call security for what? To kick out customers?”
“I’ll kick out whoever I want, who the hell are you to say anything about it?”
The store manager swore subconsciously and looked up, his face going pale in a flash.
Because the one who had just spoken was none other than the mail’s big boss, Augustus Wolfe.
“Boss, you… why are you here?”
The store manager quickly mustered a smile and hurried forward, “Welcome,
Boss, please come inside…”
However, Augustus Wolfe didn’t even pay attention to him and went straight to Greg Jensen, chuckling,
“Mr. Jensen, why didn’t you call before you came?”
“It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to have a stroll around.”
“Have you… run into some trouble?”
Greg Jensen glanced at the store manager and said indifferently, “Let your
store manager tell it.”
Augustus Wolfe was startled and turned to look, frowning, “What exactly happened?”
“I… I don’t know…”
You don’t know what happened? How do you manage as a store manager?”
The store manager was so anxious he was near tears. He had just come out to find Lois Abbott bullying his aunt, and he hadn’t understood the situation fully. How could he know what had happened?
He looked desperately at his aunt for help.
The sales associate knew she had hit a snag, her expression as ugly as it was awkward. After stuttering for quite a while, she finally recounted the whole incident..
