Chapter 70 Wait For Me
Christina had purposely come over to see him. However, she hadn’t gone up because she didn’t want to disturb him while he was working.
“I’ve already seen you, so we can hang up the phone now.”
Nathaniel’s dark pupils stared at her intently, as if he couldn’t help but wish to burn the delicate figure. into his mind’s eye.
“Christina, stay there and wait for me.”
“Huh?” Before Christina could react, the call was disconnected.
In just a minute, a tall figure appeared in her sight.
They gazed at each other from across the street. Lost in the other’s eyes, the surrounding figures blurred, and all they could see was each other.
The traffic light turned red, and Christina sprinted toward him.
For some reason, she was running faster than the average person even though she usually didn’t exercise.
It wasn’t until her head bumped into Nathaniel’s chest that she caught a whiff of the faint sandalwood scent on him. As she looked up, she was met with a kiss.
At that moment, atop the high-rise building nearby, Madison stood by the window, watching the silhouettes of the two embracing each other. Without realizing it, her eyes welled up with tears.
Nathaniel actually tossed aside his work just to go and give Christina a hug?
There was no way she could accept that the man she had waited for ten years was snatched away by
someone else.
I definitely won’t just admit defeat like this!
The sky was clear when Christina got up early the next morning. After eating the breakfast cooked by Evelyn, she picked up her luggage and headed out the door.
A red Maserati was parked at the entrance, and when Sebastian saw her, he went forward to help carry her luggage.
“Why are you here? Wasn’t the company supposed to send someone?” She was expecting a business vehicle.
Sebastian chuckled lightly, “Mr. Hadley is busy, so he asked me to fetch you. Radiant Corporation also belongs to Mr. Hadley.”
Christina didn’t refuse, and after getting in the car, they arrived at the base of a high-end condominium in less than an hour.
The condominium was the company-arranged staff dormitory, featuring two bedrooms and a living room. It was clean and tidy.
After dropping off Christina, Sebastian went back.
Christina would officially start work tomorrow, so after unpacking her things, she headed out.
Inside a high-end shopping mall, the lights reflected off the floor as Christina walked into a clothing
store.
The displayed outfits were very trendy while also being suitable for everyday wear.
She observed the arrangement of the clothes on display and the accessories placed according to the requirements, noting how they gave off a fashionable and elegant vibe.
Christina went on to touch the fabric of the clothes, and it made sense that they were expensive, as the texture was very smooth.
“Excuse me, miss, could I please try on this skirt?”
Upon hearing the request, a saleswoman dressed in a uniform approached.
The woman looked somewhat impatient, and after sizing Christina up, she said, “Miss, this skirt is thirty thousand, with no discount. Can you accept this price?”
Christina raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering how the salesperson of such a large store could have such a poor attitude.
“Yes, I can, but I want to try it on.”
The saleswoman had originally intended to scare Christina away with the price, but when the latter didn’t leave, she didn’t bother gathering the patience to entertain her.
“Penny, come over and see to this customer!”
With that, the woman strode away without another word to Christina.
Walking up to Christina, the saleswoman named Penny took the skirt off the mannequin and said, “Miss, please come this way.”
Christina went to the fitting room to try on the skirt. The small size fit her perfectly, making her look elegant and graceful.
While still wearing the skirt, she went to try on the matching shoes and accessories.
Penny patiently served her, not showing any displeasure despite Christina’s plain clothes.
“I think I’ve tried enough. I’d like to change back into my clothes.”
As soon as Christina walked into the fitting room, Janet went over to Penny and whispered, “It’s obvious that woman can’t afford any of this stuff. Are you an idiot? Haven’t you been a salesperson for so many years? Don’t you know better?”
“Our job is to attend to our customers; performance ranking comes second.” The advantage of this company was that the base salary was quite high, unlike other companies where the base salary was kept low….
Hence, most of their company’s salespersons weren’t desperate to boost their performance and would
simply not want to attend to customers who seemed like they wouldn’t buy anything.
“That’s why I say you’re not smart. You’ve been working for so long, yet you’re still just an employee. Look at me; I’ve already become an a**istant shop manager! If it weren’t for the company suddenly bringing in a shop manager, I would have been the one getting promoted this time.”
Janet shot the fitting room door a disdainful look and said confidently, “I can a**ure you, she definitely won’t buy anything.”
Penny smiled and didn’t respond.
Just then, Christina took out the clothes she had tried on. “I’m sorry, but I don’t really like them.”
After saying that, she walked out.
Behind her, Janet’s mocking laughter at Penny’s foolishness could be heard.
The next day at ten o’clock, the lights in the shopping mall turned on.
Penny was organizing the clothes when a tall and graceful figure walked in behind her.
Turning around, she paused for a moment when she saw who it was. Then, she smiled and asked, “Miss, have you thought about it overnight and decided to buy the skirt you tried on yesterday?”
Today, Christina was dressed in professional attire with her long hair tied up, looking completely different from her fresh and youthful appearance yesterday.
At that moment, Janet walked out while waving the feather duster in her hand. “Don’t think that just because you’ve changed into decent clothes, you can come back to our store to try on clothes without buying anything. We have the right to refuse service to you.”
Christina’s eyes darkened, and she took out her work ID. “I am the newly appointed shop manager, Christina Steele!”
The expressions on their faces instantly froze, especially Janet’s. She looked as though she had just been slapped.
“All staff members, please gather at the front desk for the morning meeting.”
One minute later, the five sales a**istants stood in front of Christina inside the store.
“My first action as your new shop manager is to appoint Penny as the a**istant shop manager. From now on, she will a**ist me in all aspects of my work,” Christina announced solemnly.
This store had the best location in the entire mall, yet the sales performance just couldn’t seem to take off. It was quite obvious that the reason was the staff’s biased treatment of customers.
Janet felt that she was being unfairly targeted and protested, “I don’t accept this. I have the best performance among everyone!”
“You have the best performance, but you also have the most complaints, the worst customer service, and you’re affecting the company’s image,” Christina said with a stern face, exuding the aura of a leader. “Those who don’t want to follow my management can resign; I have no objections.”,
The five of them exchanged glances, and in the next second, they fell completely silent.
Radiant Corporation offered high salaries, excellent benefits, and had a handsome boss. However, the company also had high entry requirements, and once someone left, they wouldn’t be allowed to return a second time.
Thus, even though Janet was feeling resentful, she could only endure it.
Next, Christina conducted staff training and adjusted the placement of displays.
Once she had given out her instructions, she didn’t stay idle. She noticed that the customers who entered were all modern professional women who were very particular about their outfits.
However, the clothing in their store leaned more toward a mature style, which was not particularly favored by office workers in that age group.
With that, she concluded that she needed to design professional attire that better resonated with the modern woman.
After returning home in the evening, she added the WhatsApp contacts of many different branch shop managers and conducted a detailed investigation.
Then, she shared her idea with Gina. Once the higher-ups approved it, she could start designing.
The next day at noon, Christina received a reply from Gina.
The company agreed to her suggestion, so once she had designed the draft, she would have to send it to Gina for verification.
First, Christina went to the store for a brief morning meeting, where she handed the details of the task to Penny.
Right before the meeting ended, Janet interrupted, “Ms. Steele, since you’re managing us, I’d really like to learn some basic sales experience from you.”
Her words clearly indicated that she wanted to see Christina’s sales ability.
