Samuel laughed. "I'm sure you don't know about it. Robert is getting successful now, and..."

"I don't care. Anyway, I won't allow Robert towork here.” Daphne interrupted Samuel's words directly. "I know both of you are good friends and also don't have any issues with each other, but since you two are of the same grade and stayed in the same dorm before, why did you get to work in a large enterprise such as Zabinski Group after graduation while Robert is still here wandering around? This is the gap between the both of you. Therefore, if you want me to have him work here, I will give you an answer beforehand. No."

After saying that, Daphne looked inside the store again.

Samuel smiled and said, "Don't you worry about it. I didn't mean to come here today to have Robert work here. Even if I want him to work here, it will still depend on whether he's willing to do so."

"Huh." Daphne laughed contemptuously."He'sjust graduated and is being picky on choosing a job now? He has high aims but is incompetent, huh?"

Samuel's expression changed. "Daphne, why areyou talking in such a manner? Robert is..."

Before Samuel could finish his words, a burst of laughter came from the entrance."Oh, Ms. Walters. It seems you have started the renovation today. Haha."

At the entrance, several people in security clothes from the mall came in.

The group leader was about 30 years old, with the coat of his security suit wide open. His eyes swept over Daphne from head to toe, which made his gaze look very aggressive.

"Mr. Atkins!" Daphne greeted the man with asmile."What brings you here?"

Robert was looking at the workers setting up the mirrors. Hearing Daphne call Mario's name, he subconsciously looked at the entrance and happened to see the person at the door. He had only read that person's information this afternoon. The man was Mario, deputy chief of the security department of Khandud Mall.

Three security guards behind Mario walked in and inspected the store under renovation.

"All these things have to be tidied up. It's toomessy!"

"What brand is this material? I think theenvironmental quality is not up to standard. I'll have to take it back for a test. Before the result comes out, this type of paint cannot be used!"

"The shop facade doesn't conform to theregulations, Ms. Walters. Haven't you read the renovation handbook? There is a requirement for the size of the shop facade!"

The three security guards only looked at the materials for a few glances and managed to point out three problems.

The three problems were not serious, but it was obvious that the renovation of this store could not proceed without the security guard's approval.

Daphne's expression darkened slightly.

She had dealt with the security department on the day she came here, knowing that they were trying to be difficult with her. Yet, she did not expect that trouble would come so quickly.

"Mr. Atkins, my materials' brands have beentested by the market, and I have the environmental certificates for all of them. How can they be unqualified?"

Mario chuckled."Ms. Walters, you're unaware of it. There are many kinds of businesses in this world nowadays, especially those that sell fake and shoddy products under one brand. It is really harmful to people. How about we test them for you for free? If they fail to meet the environmental protection standards, won't it be considered as harming the consumers for money?"

Daphne's expression turned cold."Mr. Atkins, you're really putting a bad label on me! I wouldn't dare to hurt others for money!"

"Ms. Walters, I'm just saying. If there is noproblem with the test, then nothing will happen." Mario kept smiling. "Furthermore, Ms. Walters, someone told me yesterday that the renovation materials were still in the store after your workers left at night. It won't do. You know, our mall has standards of hygiene and aesthetics. If someone could see the mess inside the store through the glass, it's not appropriate. Either you can buy a tarpaulin to cover up your store first, or you can put the materials in our warehouse. I applied to the management department yesterday, and you can have a discounted price from us as a token of friendship."
