81: I do not accept their apology.

Lei Ying and Lei Yue also found it very difficult to understand their young lady's actions.

However, since she was their master, they could not question her choices to her face.

Thus, they remained silent.

Nevertheless, they felt terrible inside.

They couldn't understand why their young lady would suffer such grievances for nothing.

Lei Jun took note of their expressions and knew they had misunderstood her.

She sighed but said nothing.

In a moment, they would see what she was doing.

She stopped paying attention to her companions' moods and continued to focus on the jewelry inside the counter.

Eventually, her gaze landed on an exquisitely designed bracelet featuring a massive and rare paraíba tourmaline as the center stone, surrounded by countless brilliant diamonds.

The price tag: forty-three million.

Seeing the internal conflict on Lei Jun's side, the saleswomen laughed even more joyfully.

When Lei Jun remained silent again, they became even more certain that she couldn't afford it.

Consequently, their sarcasm grew even sharper.

"Oh, is there a falling out? Looks like someone feels they've lost face and doesn't want to keep up the act?"

"I told you, you couldn't fake it for long. Do you feel embarrassed now? If you knew it would end like this, you shouldn't have come here to make a fool of yourself!"

"Look at that short-haired one; her eyes are so fierce it's like she wants to eat someone. What? You want to get physical? Do you really think there's no one in charge here?"

"So what if they get physical? Do they even dare? If they actually do something, we'll just call the police and make them pay until they're broke!"

"That silver-haired one is still looking at jewelry; she's quite the actress. I want to see how long she can keep this up. She's not trying to wait until we're not looking to steal a pair of earrings, is she?"

"Hahaha, don't scare me. If you're right, things are going to get very lively in our shop!"

"Lin Xiao, don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and get them to leave so they don't affect our business. If a real big client comes in later and sees them like this, they'll think our shop is a place where any random riffraff can enter!"

Lin Xiao stood to the side, her face flushed bright red. She wanted to defend Lei Jun but didn't know what to say, so she could only grip the hem of her clothes tightly, her palms drenched in sweat.

Lei Jun ignored these jumping clowns and pointed at the jewelry she had just selected.

She said calmly,

"I'll take this one. Wrap it up for me. I'll pay by card."

Lin Xiao snapped her head up, her mind going blank.

What!

This Miss Lei wanted to buy a bracelet worth over forty million!!!

Had she heard correctly?

She subconsciously rubbed her ears to confirm she wasn't hallucinating.

This... this was the most expensive single order she had ever seen since joining the company!

If it really went through, not only would she not be fired, but she would also receive a massive commission.

It took several seconds for her to react.

She said tremulously,

"Miss... Miss Lei, are... are you sure? This... this bracelet is forty-three million!"

Meanwhile, the other saleswomen laughed so hard they doubled over, as if they had heard the greatest joke in the world.

Listen to what this silver-haired woman was saying!

She opened her mouth and claimed she wanted to buy a bracelet worth over forty million!

Hahahaha!

If she had said she wanted to buy a hundred-thousand-yuan bracelet, they might have believed her for a second!

She was dressed so shabbily; even the beggars in Shanghai dressed like this nowadays.

Forty million—she really had the nerve to imagine it and the nerve to say it!

Seeing Lei Jun's peerless beauty made them even angrier.

God must be blind!

Why give such top-tier looks to such a brain-dead person instead of them?

In their spite, their sarcasm became even more vicious.

"Oh, 'I'll take this one, wrap it up, swipe the card.' Swipe the card? Are you swiping a bus pass?"

"Lin Xiao, are you really going to get the POS machine? Are you stupid?"

"I bet she doesn't even have four thousand in her card!"

"Just wait and see; in a moment she'll say the password was wrong or she forgot her card!"

"If you ask me, we should just call security. Don't let her stay here and affect other customers. Who's going to take responsibility if she scares off a big client?"

At that moment, the store manager returned to the shop after finishing some business.

After a few glances, she also didn't believe Lei Jun could afford a forty-million-yuan bracelet.

However, the scene that followed made her face sting instantly as if she had been slapped.

Lei Jun took out a bank card and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"Swipe it."

Lin Xiao's hands trembled as she took the card and operated the POS machine.

When that clear 'beep' sounded and the transaction receipt was printed, Lin Xiao felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest!

It succeeded!

The payment actually went through!

Forty-three million!

The manager's pupils constricted violently.

What?

She really paid!

Forty-three million!

Paid in cash!

What kind of family did she come from?

You really can't judge a book by its cover!

Who would have thought such a young girl could be so wealthy?

Buying a forty-million-yuan bracelet just like that.

This wasn't just any ordinary Godly Tycoon.

Some people worth billions might not even have forty million in liquid cash.

Even if they had forty million in cash, they wouldn't necessarily be willing to spend it.

She had completely misjudged her; her face felt hot with shame.

She immediately put on her most humble smile and practically trotted over to Lei Jun:

"Distinguished guest!"

"I am terribly sorry!"

"It was my poor management that caused you to suffer. Please, you must give me a chance to make it up to you!"

The group of saleswomen, who had been incredibly arrogant just a moment ago, all stared with wide eyes.

What the hell!

How is that possible!

They couldn't believe it.

They subconsciously rubbed their eyes and pinched themselves to make sure they weren't dreaming.

Once they confirmed it was real, they were overcome with panic and regret.

What had they just done?

They had offended a super client who spent forty million on a whim!

If Lei Jun told the manager about what just happened, what would happen to them?

It's over!

Would they be fired?

At this thought, they scrambled to get in front of Lei Jun, bowing ninety degrees and pleading through tears.

"We're sorry, Miss Lei, we were blind!"

"We were snobs who looked down on people."

"Please be magnanimous and forgive us this once!"

"We'll never do it again!"

Lei Jun looked coldly at these people who were arrogant before and servile now.

Now they knew fear?

Hadn't they enjoyed their insults just now?

They thought a simple apology could turn the page?

Dream on!

She had no intention of forgiving these people.

Seeing that Lei Jun was unmoved, the saleswomen turned to Su Man, Lin Wei, Lei Ying, and Lei Yue, offering them a frantic round of bows and apologies as well.

Su Man and Lin Wei looked at these people, who had been so overbearing just now, and their current groveling state; they couldn't describe how satisfying it felt!

Serves you right!

That's what you get for being so arrogant!

But they didn't take it upon themselves to speak; instead, they turned their gazes toward Lei Jun, letting her attitude dictate everything.

Lei Ying and Lei Yue also felt a surge of gratification, and their previous frustration was swept away.

Lei Jun didn't want to waste words with these people and said directly to the manager, "I don't accept their apology."

Then, she recounted everything that had just happened.
