Harvey York's Rise to Power

“So if we’re not going to buy that, we can’t try that on. Is that so?” Harvey smiled. It was indeed the first time he had met that kind of employee. If they did not try on the products such as the clothes and shoes, how could they buy them?

Mandy looked slightly uncomfortable beside them. It was apparent that the employee looked down on them. It was a fact that her company had been down on its feet recently. Finally, her company was back on its track with much difficulty with the eight hundred thousand dollars which Harvey obtained. She was certainly not able to bring herself to spend around sixteen thousand dollars on a pair of shoes.

“Harvey, let’s go then. We can go and look around at some other places…” Mandy said awkwardly.

Seeing Mandy’s attitude, Harvey nodded slightly. After all, there were a lot of good brands in that shopping center. Since the employees at that shop were not behaving properly, they could go to another shop. As long as they had money, they did not have to worry that they could not buy a pair of shoes.

But before the three of them left that shop, they heard a female voice from behind them. The woman said, “Hey! Take that pair of shoes down for me. I want to try them on!”

That woman looked like she was in her late twenties. She seemed quite sexy and seductive. At that moment, she was pointing at the pair of shoes which Mandy and the others were looking at just now. Besides, there was a bald and fat man beside her who looked like he was in his fifties. He was wearing a large golden necklace at that moment. That was quite dazzling.

In that instant, the bald man stared at that sexy woman absent-mindedly. He was entirely unaware of the fact that he might have to spend a huge sum of money later on. From the way things looked, he seemed like a wastrel who would spend money on women.

Seeing that, that employee said politely, “Beautiful lady, please wait for a moment. I’ll take that pair of shoes for you immediately. Please take a seat here. Do you need me to pour a glass of water for you?”

That employee’s behavior and attitude were indeed vastly different from just now. It was so shocking that it would make one sigh heavily.

Harvey heaved a sigh and said nothing. He was used to those kinds of things during these three years. He cared not for those things now since it was not the first time he experienced such a thing, being looked down upon by the others.

Harvey did not have the habit of creating trouble. But they had not left yet, that employee had taken down that pair of shoes and handed them to the seductive woman just now. She even said in a flattering tone, “Young lady, this pair of shoes are meant and prepared for you… Not like someone else. They don’t have the money, but they want to act like some rich people here. They just want to try them on and take a few photographs. After that, they can go online to Amazon to buy a fake brand so that they can act like they are rich. Isn’t that so?

“They’re poor, but they want to act smug and arrogant here. How could people like them be so bold to come in here, claiming that they want to try on that pair of shoes? It’s absolutely hilarious!”

The employee had no intention of hiding her opinion as her voice was extremely loud. At that moment, quite many customers had looked over at them, started to whisper among themselves about Harvey and the others.

At first, Harvey did not want to bother about them. But when he noticed that Mandy’s facial expression had worsened, he could not hold himself back anymore. He turned around and said coldly, “You’re just an employee here. Why? You only help to sell some clothes and shoes here. How could you act like you’re so much more superior than others? Do you think that you own this shop? What are you pretending about?”

“Am I pretending?” It never occurred to her that Harvey would retort to her. She was filled with contempt. “How disgusting you are! If you can’t afford to buy the products here, don’t come to a luxurious shopping center! You wear such cheap clothes, and you use such an extremely outdated phone. How bold of you to put on such a show here! You want to try the clothes and shoes. But in the end, you won’t buy them. You’ll leave just like that. You’ll just be wasting our time! I hate such paupers like you the most! You’re so poor, but you still want to put on a show and act smug here!”

“That’s right. What this girl said is true.” At that moment, the seductive woman glanced at Mandy. When she saw how charming and beautiful Mandy was, she was filled with a tinge of envy. Soon she said in a mocking tone, “It’s not easy for the employees here either. They come to work here because they want to serve prestigious guests. But how about you? You come here, but you’re not going to buy anything here. Why do you waste their time? In my opinion, you should go and take a look at the stalls by the street. That place is very suitable for you!”

“Harvey, let’s go!” In that instant, the number of people around them had increased. Seeing that, Mandy could not help but say in a low voice.

In fact, she knew that Harvey had just got a job. How could he have so much money? She just wanted to make a joke with him. She never thought that a mess like that would happen.

Harvey smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. I just want to buy things for my wife. I indeed have the money...

As he said that, he took out his debit card and threw it at them. He then said coldly, “Not only that I want this pair of shoes. I want a pair of shoes in every style you have in this shop.”

That employee burst into laughter and said, “Well, you’re indeed quite smug and arrogant, aren’t you? The styles of shoes we have in this shop are not that many. We only have around forty of them, including that pair of shoes. If you want a pair of shoes for every style we have here, it’s just slightly over one hundred fifty thousand dollars. I’ll be nice to you here. Let me round up the figure

for you. But I want to be quite frank with you, if you don’t have any money in your bank account, I’m going to call the security guard!”

The employee was a materialistic and vain girl, but she was not quite observant and sensitive. How would she be able to recognize a high-end thing like an Amex Black Card?

At that moment, she went to the point-of-sale terminal to swipe the card. After a short while, the machine dinged. ‘Did I just swipe that card successfully?’

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Usually, after the card was swiped on the machine, the machine would reveal the balance in that account. But only a few employees could see that.

At that moment, the employees saw the row of zeros shown in the balance of Harvey’s card. They were astounded. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

‘One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, billion…’

‘No, that’s not right. There are too many zeros. It seems like I couldn’t even use my brain power properly. I can’t count them properly!’
