In fact, Xia Ru didn't really care whether Li Jin and the others would end up losing money by taking so many clothes because, in essence, that money was invested in Wen Shu.
However, in the presence of Wen Shu, the attendants naturally had to put on a performance.
Otherwise, if Wen Shu got upset, Xia Ru might try to smooth things over by saying something pleasant, and Wen Shu might let her off the hook.
But the attendants weren't as fortunate. They could very well be scolded by Wen Shu and have their bonuses deducted.
Furthermore, these attendants had long held a grudge against Xia Ru. She would act obedient and sensible in front of the boss, but when the boss wasn't around, she'd put on an air of arrogance in front of them, treating them as if they were subhuman, almost like slaves.
They had long believed that Xia Ru had poor character. She was a classic case of someone with power who lacked manners.
