SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 2 Episode 8

I Am Not That Petty

Alex did not deign her worthy of a reply. He kept his phone and waited for Luke to arrive.

In less than two minutes, Luke hurried over.

“Mr. Stanton, you’ve arrived just in time! This penniless idiot can’t afford a car, yet he still comes here for the free air conditioning and Wi–Fi. He’s even refusing to leave now!” one of the saleswomen complained when she spotted Luke.

Penniless idiot?

Taking in the displeased look on Alex’s face, Luke’s heart sank to his feet. He raised his hand to give the woman a harsh slap across the check.

“Penniless idiot, my f***ing ass! Shannon Summers, I’m giving you an official notice now. You’re fired! Settle your salary with the finance department and get the hell out!” Luke roared.

His ignorant staff had caused him to look down on Alex once. The result of that situation was him having to give out an RS7 to cool Alex’s temper

If Luke were not more decisive today, he was afraid he would have to end up giving out an R8 too.

He had had to cough up hundreds of thousands out of his own pocket last time for the RS7. In a fit of rage, he had fired all those salespeople.

He had not expected this new batch of employees to be just as ignorant and stupid as the last batch. How could he not be infuriated?

“M–Mr. Stanton, w–what did I do wrong?” Shannon was dumbstruck as she held her throbbing cheek.

The other few sales assistants were also stunned at how pissed off their manager was.

“You three! Don’t even think about coming in to work tomorrow either!” Luke’s voice was chilly as he glared at the other employees.

“Huh?”

The three salespeople were absolutely bewildered as dissatisfaction welled in them.

Why are we being fired as well? What did we do wrong?

“Mr. Jefferson, I’m so sorry for the ignorance of my staff. I’ll fire them all today. I hope you can dismiss this incident and let things blow over.”

Luke came to a stop in front of Alex Before bowing low in respect.

At that instant, the salespeople finally understood.

The man they had all looked down upon was actually someone very powerful!

“It’s fine. I’m not a petty person. I want to drive this car away this instant, so let’s just settle the paperwork,” Alex said generously while waving his hand dismissively.

“Yes, yes. I’ll handle it personally!” Luke bobbed his head vigorously. He accepted the card Alex handed to him and hurried off to get the necessary paperwork.

1/2

Lucas soon reemerged. When he saw that Shannon and the rest were still standing there, he bellowed, “What the hell are you guys still doing here? Get out!”

Shannon begged, “Sir, we’re so sorry for offending a valued customer! Please give us another chance! We promise not to be so arrogant next time!”

She could not afford to lose this job.

With the world’s economy suffering from the pandemic, it was incredibly difficult to find a job nowadays. They were already very lucky to have gotten jobs as sales assistants.

Plenty of their friends had been searching for a job for half a year with no success.

“There’s no use apologizing to me. You’ve offended Mr. Jefferson, not me!” Luke stated in an annoyed

tone.

Realizing he was right, Shannon and the others turned to apologize to Alex.

“Mr. Jefferson, we’re really sorry! Please forgive us and have mercy on us! A magnanimous person like you won’t hold this against insignificant nothings like us, right?”

If they bowed any lower, their noses would be touching their knees.
