Li Man sneered and took out her laptop. She played the video that Xia Zhiwan had sent to herself automatically after recording. Everyone huddled around to watch.

Six or seven video recordings were lined up side by side, creating a path to the store. Although the thief in the picture had put on some disguises, Li Yiyun’s colleagues had worked with her long enough to recognize that the person in the video was her!

The store descended into chaos. Xia Zhiwan took a step back and observed the scene.

Li Man maintained the calm and collected composure she always had while working and retrieved the employee handbook.

“According to the company’s policy, the employee would need to compensate for the original price of the product which they have lost. “Blossoming Years” is a limited edition necklace. It’s also the hottest product at our Nan City Avenue store and is worth ten million!”

Li Yiyun finally broke down. She abandoned the bitter and spiteful expression she was wearing and clutched Li Man’s arm tightly.

“Sister Man, I’ve been working here for so long. You’re the one who recommended me for an internship position here. Please pity me!”

Li Man tossed her hand away. “I’ve already pitied you enough! You didn’t actually lose the jewelry. You stole it! I can call the police right now!”

If Li Yiyun was willing to be subjected to the company’s rules and regulations, the most she would need to do was compensate for the necklace and have her points deducted. Her job at the store would be safe. The worst she would need to bear would be laughter and ridicule. This incident had put a stain on her reputation.

However, if Li Man were to report this to the police, she would most definitely be put in jail! Her whole life would be ruined!

Li Yiyun thought about the huge amount of money she would need to compensate. Where would an average middle-class worker like her be able to find that kind of money?

A person’s face appeared in her mind. She must know what to do! Li Yiyun gritted her teeth and exclaimed unexpectedly, “I’ll pay!”

Xia Zhiwan raised an eyebrow. While she was curious to find the reason behind her answer, she also felt a little indignant by the turn of events.

That was it? Should she just let go of the fact that she was misunderstood and be done with it? Yet, if Li Yiyun really compensated the original price, she did not think it was wise to continue to make a big deal out of it…

Xia Zhiwan told herself to be magnanimous. How could she take revenge on Li Yiyun when, at the moment, she was only a lowly salesperson?
