She had not expected that a small family like the Lee family would have a genius doctor like Sehun! She should have known!
Thinking back to that time, she remembered that Sehun had gone overseas to study. She had always blamed her family, thinking that they favored boys over girls and specially sent the boys out without her.
Thinking about it, Sehun must have had exceptional results back then and skipped grades. There was no school in the town suitable for him, so he had gone off to study.
Although she still did not want to mend her relationship with the rest of the family, Krystal did not want to neglect Sehun.
After Jennie walked out, she opened his cell phone and flipped through it. On the property deed book that her grandfather had given her, she found the address of the commercial building.
It turned out that the entire floor was under her name.
She dialed the number of the person in charge of this building. "I want to increase the rent."
Instantly, everyone there was alarmed.
The Hua City Commercial Building was an old commercial building in Beijing. Because of its good location and high footfall, the rent was always very high. However, the entire Hua City Commercial Building was controlled by a certain family that did not lack money. The shops were only rented and not sold, so even the top international brands had to put in a lot of effort to move into the Hua City Commercial Building.
Now that Jennie wanted to increase the rent, how could these people not panic?
Increasing rent was a small matter, but if they were to move out, it would be a big matter!
The Hua City Commercial Building was situated at the forefront of all the major commercial buildings in Beijing. There was no need to worry about new businessmen renting it. However, if they couldn't rent the place, where would they run their business?
A moment later, a few high-ranking executives of the Chinese commercial building caught up with Jennie.
A few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes followed Jennie, displaying extremely respectful and humble attitudes.
"Miss Kim, I'm really sorry. The commercial building changed hands some time ago. We were negligent and should have come to see you earlier."
"Yes, it was our mistake. I'm very sorry."
They all thought that Kim was angry because of this. However, they were also helpless. Previously, although they had known that the commercial building had changed owners, they hadn't known the identity of the new owner, nor had they known how to find out. That was why it had been delayed until now.
If they had known that it was Jennie, they would have stood in front of her and waited for her to speak.
"Miss Kim, it's okay to raise the rent. As long as it's within a certain limit…"
Seeing that Jennie did not speak, the higher-ups took the initiative to speak first. They did not want Jennie to get angry and not be able to communicate properly.
Jennie had a sudden impulse to increase the rent. She did not want to make things difficult for them.
She gave them a lazy look and said, "Then let's just increase that one's rent."
She pointed to the shop where she had bought the clothes.
The upper echelons heaved a sigh of relief. It would be easy if it was just that shop. Better than all of them rising.
One of them said, "Miss Kim, can I know why we're only increasing that shop's price? You must know… we've signed a contract. If anyone asks, we should at least explain."
"Don't they hate contracts? They just sell clothes. They don't even care about the order of arrival or departure. They do everything according to what the salesperson wants. If I increase the rent, I'll be happy."
When Jennie said that, those higher-ups were smart and immediately knew what was going on.
Some of them quickly invited Jennie to go to other shops to shop, some served tea, and some came to persuade her.
Jennie did not want to stay any longer. She did not drink a single mouthful of tea and only chose a few sets of clothes for Lisa before leaving.
As for the higher-ups, they naturally had to go to that shop to check on the situation.
The moment a few high-level executives in suits and leather shoes entered, all the salespeople stood up to welcome them.
Krystal and Chu Jia were trying on their clothes, but they had forgotten about the earlier event.
"What about today's surveillance footage?" the higher-ups asked.
The sales assistant immediately gathered it.
When the surveillance footage showed Jennie, the higher-ups understood everything.
Not only had the sales assistant referred to Jennie as a horse, but she had even belittled Jennie along with Krystal and Chu Jia. She had actually asked Jennie to look at clothes in places with lower prices.
Even if it wasn't Jennie, could they treat ordinary customers like this?
When you open the door to do business, the customer is God, and they're not there to receive eye rolls!
"You're fired!"
"Why, Manager Wang?"
The leader of the group was Manager Wang. He sneered. "You still want to ask why? Is this how you do business in a store? Is it your work ethic to deliberately not let customers see your clothes and belittle them?"
When the salesperson saw that the footage was fixed on Jennie's part, she immediately understood that it had something to do with Jennie. Jennie must have gone to complain about her.
She immediately defended herself. "Our shop is a high-end clothing store. Letting ordinary customers go improves the service for VIP customers."
When Chu Jia saw this, she was annoyed with Jennie. How could she complain about such a small matter to the higher-ups of the commercial building? She could not help but say, "Manager Wang opened the business to earn money, right? I'm a VIP customer here. I think it's not a problem for the salesperson to help me choose my clothes. Is it normal to offend VIP customers?"
"Alright, Jia Jia, cut it out." Krystal could sense that the few upper echelons were quite angry. They had not come with good intentions.
"Miss Chu, if you think that you can chase other customers away for the sake of the VIPs, does that mean that I can chase you away to satisfy a super VIP?"
Chu Jia was rendered speechless.
She was stunned for a moment. "But where are the SVIP clients?"
"Could it be the one who was chased away just now?" The salesperson was confused as well. She had never dealt with Jennie before. How could she be a SVIP customer?
However, in the eyes of the higher-ups, Jennie was not just a client of the company. She was an SSSVIP!
Manager Wang looked at the salesperson coldly. "It seems that you still don't understand what you did wrong. No matter what kind of customer it is, they have the right to come to our shop to choose their products. They have to be treated in order of arrival. The right that VIP customers should enjoy is something that we, as service providers, should provide to them. It's something that we should have done long ago to prepare for them to enjoy better service. It's not for us to deprive other customers of their normal needs, or even ignore the order of service for other customers to satisfy VIPs."
"Get her to leave." Manager Wang gave a signal with his eyes, and the security guard and HR staff walked towards the salesperson.
"You're fired."
The salesclerk's legs gave out and she fell to the floor.. The security guard came up to her just in time to catch her and take her away.
