Chapter 36 - 036 Inspection

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If they heard about her rumors surrounding her, it was uncertain whether she could continue to stay in the jewelry shop.

Xia Jin originally wanted to call Huo Jue and ask him to resolve this matter.

After all, it was his secretary who was slandering her behind his back, so he had some responsibility anyway.

However, Xia Jin had finally gotten rid of Huo Jue. She really did not want to have any more entanglements with him, so she shook off this idea and decided to resolve this matter on her own.

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, the people from the main store arrived.

The store manager had been waiting at the door in advance, and as soon as he saw the inspectors sent by the main store getting out of the car, he greeted them with a warm smile to welcome them.

Xia Jin stood behind the store manager, tilting her head slightly and standing as straight as a pine.

She could feel that the moment the inspectors got out of the car, their eyes lingered on her face for a moment.

Xia Jin realized that the person who broke the story had slandered her at the exact time of the end of the month inspection. They must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make her lose her job.

How vicious.

Xia Jin sneered, but she did not show it on her face. She still looked calm and collected.

After the inspectors checked the inside and outside of the store, and inspected the environment, their eyes fell on the salespeople lined up in two rows.

“Here are the personal details of these salespeople.” The store manager handed over a pile of materials.

One of the inspectors leading took it and flipped through it briefly.

The salespeople’s hearts were also raised.

Although the inspection of the main store was just a formality, not every inspector would go easy on them. Some inspectors had very strict requirements. Even a small bug found in the store had to be reported.

The sales personnel’s information also had everyone’s results for the last two quarters. Some of the bottom-ranked people in performance were especially apprehensive at this moment, fearing that they would be singled out and criticized.

After a long time, the inspector closed the file and glanced at the crowd. He slowly called out, “Where’s Xia Jin?”

The crowd instantly let out a long sigh of relief.

Many of them even snickered.

Although Xia Jin was the top sales performer this month, the inspector had singled her out, so it must be related to the exposé about her.

The quality of the salespeople’s conduct was also an important part of the inspection, after all, if the employees in the shop did not have good conduct and were complained by customers, it would inevitably affect the brand image.

Lin Li looked in Xia Jin’s direction. A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she then cursed Xia Jin in her heart resentfully to get a good scolding by the inspectors later on!

Xia Jin felt that the people around her were looking at her with either disdain or schadenfreude.

She frowned, pushed aside the two salespeople in front of her, and stepped forward.

“I’m Xia Jin.” Xia Jin did not expect the impact of this matter to be so great that even the inspectors were looking for trouble with her.

The inspectors sized Xia Jin up, then threw the information booklet in their hands to the store manager, who was busy reaching out to take it.

Xia Jin watched as one of the inspectors approached her with a mocking smile on his face. “I see you’re doing quite well?”

The corners of Xia Jin’s lips curled up, as if she did not hear the mockery in this person’s words.

“It’s fine.” She replied in a neither servile nor an overbearing manner.

That person’s face darkened immediately.

He hadn’t expected Xia Jin to not have a trace of fear or respect for him.

Probably because he had been an inspector for a long time, this person’s heart had also developed some sort of high and mighty arrogance. He subconsciously thought that everyone would be respectful and fearful of him at the same time, just like the store manager and other salespeople.

Xia Jin acted as if he was just an ordinary employee.

“I wonder what you’ve traded for this performance? Did you use your brains, or something else?” The inspector was already a little irked, and his tone gradually became sarcastic.

Xia Jin raised her head and looked at him coldly. “I used my ability in exchange for my performance!”

Slam!

The man slammed his hand on the table hard, and his eyes suddenly turned sinister. “Ability? Do you know that all the things you’ve done in the past have been exposed? How dare you still have the face to talk about ability?! I don’t even know how you became Mr. Huo’s secretary!”

Xia Jin’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Are you saying that Mr. Huo’s taste isn’t good?”

Xia Jin did not expect that she would actually borrow Huo Jue’s power one day.

Sure enough, there was a hint of panic in the man’s eyes, but he calmed down quickly.

“Xia Jin, you are unrestrained and have a bad character. You have two choices now. First, you can resign voluntarily, and your entire performance will be nullified. Second, the company will fire you and criticize you publicly. Take your pick.”

The man raised his head haughtily and looked at Xia Jin in a condescending manner, as he mercilessly announced his verdict on her.

It was as if Xia Jin was an insignificant mole.

Xia Jin’s heart suddenly trembled, and she started emitting a gloomy aura.

“I won’t resign voluntarily.”

The man sneered–was there any use in resisting?

“Then, I’ll fire you!”
