Chapter 28 – Someone Bought Them For Me (1)
Gu Shishi looked up and saw a girl with long wavy hair sitting in the front of the classroom .
Across her shoulder, there was an Armani brand small black purse with a chain strap . Just below her clavicles, there was a Tiffany diamond key pendant . She was looking at her and Ling Xiaomei sarcastically .
This was Zhao Xian, one of the new teachers at the art center .
Also, like them, she had just graduated from college and was in her probation period right now .
And, right now, she also faced the question of whether she’d be staying or be eliminated once the probation period was up .
Zhao Xian was, obviously, very confident in herself .
It seemed she had just arrived and was chatting with the store manager, Liu Li . She had just said something that made the store manager giggle .
And right now, she was looking at Gu Shishi with great interest .
“Shihi, and here I thought you took time off so you can stay home and prepare for the permanent position assessment . After all, your performance was the worst among all of us . I didn’t think you went shopping instead?”
There was a shred of contempt in her look .
“Let me guess . These the rumored cheap and authentic-looking super knock-offs from East Avenue?”
“Hahaha, I guess dressing like this will make you feel more confident in the employment assessment?”
Gu Shishi was just grabbing the apron with her name tag on it . She paused a little bit in her movement when she heard the smack talk .
The original Gu Shishi was the bottom of all the new employees, let it be her drawing skill or her performance at work . Naturally, she was the one most likely to be eliminated!

“Xiao Xian, why do you say that? Shishi is a pretty girl, and she looks good no matter how she dresses . ” Ling Xiaomei noticed something was wrong, so she immediately chimed in to smooth things over and tugged Gu Shishi a little so she wouldn’t escalate things .
Fighting in front of the store manager would leave a bad impression . Not to mention there were a few other instructors around as well .
This was the day that all employees on probation would be evaluated, so a few of the senior employees would join the store manager in decided who to keep or not to keep .
Based on their performance this past 3 months plus their performances during the assessment today, they would arrive at a conclusion and sent the final reports to upper management .
Zhao Xian smiled but wouldn’t drop the subject .
“Meimei, it doesn’t bother me personally . But our art center is located at the busiest financial district and many of our clients are white collars or full-time housewives . On the weekends, there are even more elites bringing their kids here .
“All I am saying is it will leave a bad impression with our clients if they find out that our instructors are wearing knock-offs .

“Shishi, I have nothing against you . I am only looking out for everybody’s interest at the art center . What do you think?”
She sounded like she had given this a lot of thought and was especially worried about the future of the art center . In addition, she was even very respectful of Shishi and asked her about her opinion on it .
As pretty as her words sounded, she was obviously setting Gu Shishi up!
Liu Li, the store manager, looked again at Gu Shishi’s outfit with obvious disapproval .
“We have work aprons at work; there’s no need to dress like that . You are free to dress however you want during your time off, but please be more mindful when you come to work . After all, our job is to teach kids . ”
She was entirely over on Zhao Xian’s side!
Most of the experienced employees of the art center were also nodding on the side, kissing up to Liu Li .

Gu Shishi looked down at the intertwined C logo on her tee shirt .
Knockoffs?
Nobody knew the cost of each article of clothing better than she did .
“Oh, I am a more straight-forward person . You are not mad at me, are you, Shishi?” said Zhao Xian with a smile .
But, her look was filled with a sense of superiority . She even reached her hand up and brushed it over her Tiffany diamond key around her neck, feeling proud .
Half way through her snickering, she was interrupted by Gu Shishi saying, “I don’t mean to be disrespectful… This shirt cost $5,600 and this skirt was $18,000 . ”
Gu Shishi twisted the corner of her skirt with a complicated look .
She had just verified them again with the system . Her data was very precise .
