Chapter 197
Every Saturday, I find nothing from Bai Yanli's parents, so I have to turn to the shopping mall where Bai Yanli works.

After contacting the department store in City C, they made an appointment to meet at the department store on Sunday afternoon, because the weekend was the other party's busy time, so Cheng Feng and the others had no choice but to accommodate.

It was already Sunday afternoon when we arrived at the department store in City C as promised, but the mall was still crowded with people, especially in the cosmetics sales area. Every counter was decorated with flowers, balloons, promotional posters and Promotional gifts, all counters are surrounded by women of different ages, buying and consulting, the scene is so lively.

"No wonder the merchants love female consumers so much! Look at the purchasing power! It's really strong!" An Changpu walked through the crowd carefully, being squeezed by the people around him: "This mall is really funny, shopping over 300 Give 300 vouchers! Then they won't lose money!"

"If you take a closer look at the rules for using vouchers, you won't think so!" Jiayi kindly helped the young man to literacy: "The shopping mall stipulates that the usage ratio of vouchers should not exceed 40.00% of the total value of the products purchased again. According to this ratio , do you calculate whether the market is losing or gaining?"

"A profiteer! Definitely a profiteer!" An Changpu thought about it, and suddenly realized: "It's not that the more you spend, the more money you spend!"

"Yeah, they just took advantage of people's pity that they don't have to throw away the vouchers, thinking that there is a rebate coupon to get a bargain. In fact, the shopping mall is the one who picks up the big bargain."

"Cunning! Too cunning!" An Changpu shook his head and sighed.

Passing through the crowded shopping area, the three of Cheng Feng came to the reception room in the office area that had been agreed in advance. There were two other people inside besides the person in charge of the mall who had contacted Cheng Feng on the phone.

When everyone arrived, the person in charge of the mall introduced each other. There were two women, about 40 years old, and the one in a black professional suit was the department manager of the cosmetics department of a department store in City C, surnamed Chen. The other was in his early twenties, wearing a The person in the beige suit and the colorful scarf around his neck was another salesperson who was in charge of the same brand counter as Bai Yanli, and also a close friend of Bai Yanli's before his death, Xiaohui.

After the person in charge introduced the identities of the two parties and urged Manager Chen and Xiaohui to cooperate with the police, he left the reception room.

"The two of you must have heard about Bai Yanli. We are here today to learn about Bai Yanli's work and life." Cheng Feng looked at the two women sitting across from him, "Both of you Who are you going to start with?"

Xiaohui didn't say a word, and looked at Manager Chen involuntarily. Manager Chen was not polite, and nodded to Cheng Feng: "Let me go first! I have something to do later."

"Then ask Manager Chen to tell me about Bai Yanli in your mind!"

As expected of the manager in charge of the cosmetics department, Manager Chen has a dignified and appropriate demeanor, his skin is carefully maintained and moisturized, his face is painted with light makeup, and his hair is neatly arranged, looking very serious.When asked about her impression of Bai Yanli, she frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that Bai Yanli has already been killed, so I shouldn't say something negative about her, which is not enough respect for the deceased, but I think you still hope that I You can speak your mind honestly, right?"

Cheng Feng nodded, affirming her question.

"Then I can only say sorry. Although I sympathize with Bai Yanli and feel very sorry for what happened to Bai Yanli, but from the perspective of work or personal impression, I don't think highly of her." Manager Chen said blankly. Said, Xiaohui at the side secretly glanced at her mouth.

"Let's be specific."

"Bai Yanli's quality is not high. Of course, this is also related to her education level." Manager Chen straightened his waist, raised his hand to smooth the broken hair behind his ear: "I always feel that a A person's level of education directly determines the person's speech and behavior, as well as the height of the world outlook."

It seems that Manager Chen has a strong sense of superiority in his heart. Jiayi secretly thought in his heart that people with high self-esteem are often used to using their own advantages to compare others' disadvantages. The level of education and the height of the world view are obviously not the key points. Manager Chen directly mentioned these when he opened his mouth, but it was actually just a disguised self-promotion.

"Of course, these are not the key points. I think the most critical problem with Bai Yanli is that she is too materialistic!"

"What do you mean by materialization?" An Changpu asked.

Manager Chen felt that the question asked by this hairy young man seemed a little redundant, so he raised his brows: "Does it need to be said, it is the pursuit of material things, and the love of vanity! Relying on my youth and some capital, I am very arrogant. Looking at people through the nostrils is to look at others from the corner of the eyes, and she is very arrogant. She is jealous of those who are better than her, and she looks down on those who are not as good as her. During her work here, I don’t know how to coordinate with other employees for her. How many contradictions!"

When Manager Chen said these words, Cheng Feng paid special attention to Xiao Hui's attitude, but she didn't show any expression during this period, and she kept sitting quietly with her eyes down.

"So, Bai Yanli's work performance is not good?" He turned his gaze back to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen paused, shook his head and replied, "It's not really bad, it's hard to say."

"tell me the story."

"Bai Yanli's work attitude is indeed problematic. If she has any major shortcomings besides being too materialistic, she is too emotional, and her service attitude towards customers always follows her own personal emotions. If she is in a good mood When I was in a bad mood, I would smile at the customers, and if I was in a bad mood, I would show my face to everyone, and I would talk like I had taken gunpowder. I have already received complaints from customers about her as a common occurrence!" Manager Chen changed the subject: "But again I can't say that she is a bad employee. You also know that in the sales industry like our shopping mall, we still have to talk about sales performance. Bai Yanli has a lot of skills in this regard. Her performance is always very guaranteed and stable. , we don't care what heretical method she used to achieve it, but at least this aspect makes people really speechless!"

"You mean someone helped Bai Yanli solve her sales problems? Has it always been like this?"

Manager Chen nodded.

"So, who does Bai Yanli meet with on a daily basis?"

"At work, other than customers, that is, other salespersons, but she has a bad personality. Except for Xiaohui, she basically can't get along with others." Manager Chen thought for a while: "As for my private life, I just I don't understand, everyone lives their own lives after work, I'm not interested in poaching her privacy."

"Well, thank you Manager Chen for your cooperation. If you have something to do, you can go to work!" Cheng Feng thanked Manager Chen and deliberately sent her away, because he found that Xiaohui didn't seem to agree with many of Manager Chen's remarks, and he was worried. If Manager Chen was present all the time, Xiaohui would be inconvenient to speak out because of the manager's face.

"Okay, Manager Chen is not here now, if you have any disagreement, let us hear it!" Jia Yi obviously had the same opinion, and after Manager Chen left, she smiled and spoke to Xiao Hui who was a bit reserved.

Xiaohui smiled back at Jiayi stiffly, facing the police's interrogation, she seemed a little embarrassed, clasped her hands and rubbed together: "I don't have any disagreement with what our manager said... or...the manager doesn't know Yanli very well. They are not the same kind of people, so...that's why they misunderstood her."

"In addition to work, you and Bai Yanli should have a good relationship in private, right?" Jia Yi asked.

Xiaohui nodded: "We rent a house together. My hometown is far away. I don't know anyone in City C. She is almost my only friend."

"Since that's the case, then you must know Bai Yanli better than everyone else. In what aspects do you think Manager Chen's understanding is wrong?" Jiayi induced her.

Xiaohui sighed softly: "In fact, there are difficulties behind her gorgeous personality. She is not pursuing material things because of vanity, nor is she arrogant and difficult to get along with. She is just too defensive and lacks a sense of security in her heart. She Although she is from this city, her situation is not much different from mine. Have you checked the situation of her family?"

Cheng Feng nodded.

"Actually, Yanli is quite pitiful. She was either bullied by her stepmother since she was a child, because her half-sister was neglected, or she was looked down upon by her stepfather's children. That's why she especially hates those girls who are pampered. She especially longs to be loved and cared for. She is also very concerned about how others look at her. She always feels that no one can protect her, so she seems to be covered with thorns all over her body. It is not all her fault that Yanli and other salespersons get along badly. They are indeed obedient. That's why Yanli doesn't trust her, I have worked and lived with her for so long, I know her well, as long as you treat her well, she is more sincere than anyone else!" Xiaohui said, her eyes were red, she looked like Really saddened by Bai Yanli's death.

"Since you are roommates, when was the last time you saw Bai Yanli?"

"About a week ago."

"She hasn't come home or come to work for so long, don't you think about calling the police?"

Xiaohui shook her head, with a guilty expression on her face: "At first, she happened to be on vacation. I thought she might have gone to her father's or her mother's house. I haven't seen her after two days. I called her father's house to ask, she The stepmother said she never went back, so I guessed that she might have gone to that man's place. Because she kept yelling that she didn't want to do it, I saw that she didn't come to work, so I thought she might be planning to resign."

"What man?"

"It's a gorgeous boyfriend."

"What's that man's name? Do you have his contact information?" Cheng Feng's heart tightened. This man might be the last person he saw Bai Yanli.

It's a pity, Xiaohui shook her head: "I don't know anything about that man, Yanli only told me how that man pursued her and so on, she refused to tell me anything specific, and every time she went to see that man All men will shut down their phones, and no one can contact her."

"Why is that man so mysterious?" An Changpu was puzzled.

"Because he has a wife."
