Previous life, Jiang Ning's whole family were cannon fodder in a novel about the protagonists' rise to fame and success, living as a contrasting background to them. Under the crushing press...
A bottle of ink spilled precisely onto the wedding dress, leaving everyone present speechless.
Xue Mei, suppressing her anger, said to Yang Xiu:
"Sir, why did you do this?"
Yang Xiu adopted a lazy and nonchalant attitude and said:
"I bought this dress with my own money, and I have the right to do what I want with it. Do you have a problem with that?"
Seeing that everyone else in the store was drawn to his feat, he gave a wicked smile.
"Don't look at me like that. I said I'd pay for it, and I won't renege on my promise. Not only will I not renege, but at the wedding, I'll even have my bridesmaids wear this outfit and show it off at the hotel entrance."
Oh, I forgot to tell you, my wedding will be held at the Wangfujing Hotel. Business and political figures will be there to celebrate, and major television stations will also be invited. Your wedding dress will soon become a hot item.
Xue Mei was furious. She had never expected that in the two years she had worked there, she was the one who sold the most wedding dresses and earned the highest commissions. Even the store manager had turned a blind eye to her tricks. But today, she had run into a tough customer.
"Sir, you are deliberately damaging the reputation of our wedding dresses. You cannot do this."
Xue Mei argued with him based on reason.
Yang Xiu sneered: "I bought the wedding dress from you, so I can do whatever I want with it. How is that damaging your reputation? Since your reputation is so important, why did you deliberately damage the wedding dress and force my wife to pay for it?"
She's shy and doesn't want to argue with you, but I won't let you get away with it!
The onlookers, upon hearing this, began to discuss it. No wonder this person was behaving strangely; it turned out he was seeking justice for himself!
“I remember now, when I came to choose my wedding dress, my friend reminded me to keep a close eye on it and not to get it dirty, because if it got dirty, they would make me buy it.”
"Are the tricks this sophisticated now? Forget it, I won't buy here. It's not like this is the only store here."
Just then, the shop owner returned from running errands and encountered several customers who were storming out. He quickly asked what had happened.
At this moment, the store manager, fearing things would escalate, deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"Boss, that woman ruined her wedding dress while trying it on. Sister Mei made her pay for it, but her husband probably can't afford it, so he's deliberately making things difficult for her. Because of him, all the customers in the store have been scared away."
Good heavens, they're trying to pin the blame on Yang Xiu himself.
Upon hearing this, the boss was immediately enraged. He declared that anyone who damaged something had to pay for it, and that even the Emperor himself would have to abide by this rule.
With a fake smile on his face, he was about to step forward and argue with Yang Xiu.
However, when he recognized Yang Xiu's face, he was so frightened that his face turned ashen and he took two steps back.
The boss also has a certain circle of friends in the business world. He once saw Yang Ziqiang bring Yang Xiu to a social event. At that time, many people came to flatter him after they learned that Yang Xiu was Yang Ziqiang's adopted son.
At the time, he wanted to go up and have a drink with him, but unfortunately, he wasn't of a high enough status.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, it was our people who didn't do a good job."
He quickly put on a smile and apologized to Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
The boss quickly pointed to a saleswoman next to him and asked her to repeat the whole story from beginning to end.
The saleswoman and Xue Mei didn't get along. To be more objective, when the boss heard that Yang Xiu wanted to display this wedding dress on the wedding day, he turned pale with fright.
"Mr. Yang, please be lenient and don't hold it against us. I'll handle it right away and make sure you're satisfied."
After saying that, he stepped forward and slapped Xue Mei across the face.
"I've long heard that you have wicked intentions and use unorthodox methods to sell goods. You've ruined our store's reputation! Go apologize to General Manager Yang right now!"
Xue Mei was stunned by the beating, covering her face and glaring at Yang Xiu with hatred in her eyes.
"Why should I apologize to them? I won't apologize. I've generated so much profit for the store in the past two years. If you treat me like this, I'll quit."
This is your loss!
Upon hearing this, the boss kicked her in the stomach.
"Your mother's loss! Do you know who you've offended? Every single person in Boss Yang's circle of friends is a big shot. You can't afford to offend any of them."
"If you want to leave through me, you'd better compensate me for your losses first. I'll pay you ten thousand yuan."
Xue Mei collapsed to the ground, her blood boiling with anger. "Don't go too far!"
The store manager also stepped in to speak on her behalf, saying, "Boss, Xue Mei has always worked very hard. Is it really necessary to fine her so much money?"
The boss's expression changed when he saw the store manager. "I haven't even said anything to you yet. You'd better pack your things and get out of here."
"No, what does this have to do with me..." the shop manager pleaded, grabbing the boss's arm.
The boss sneered, "Come on, or I'll make you lose money too."
The store manager quickly let go of him and left.
Before leaving, he gave Xue Mei a fierce glare.
What a jinx! Although I received some favors from her, compared to losing my job, those favors are nothing!
However, it's too late to say anything now.
Yang Xiu finally felt somewhat relieved by this outcome.
He originally wanted to look around elsewhere, but the shop owner brought out several of the latest wedding dresses, and Wu Jing finally found one that satisfied her, which completely calmed their anger.
As they left, the boss saw them off with trepidation, feeling fortunate to have escaped a disaster.
If he hadn't handled it in time, this wedding dress shop probably wouldn't exist anymore.
Once they left, he went back to continue pressuring Xue Mei to pay the 10,000 yuan in compensation.
Yang Xiu carried the gift box containing the wedding dress and escorted Wu Jing home.
They bought a house near the Prince's Mansion for their wedding. It was a specially purchased and fully furnished house, decorated entirely by Wu Jing. Everything inside was brand new, but they never stayed overnight.
Soon, their wedding day arrived.
The number of guests this time was indeed large, including not only many people from the business world, but also high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the political arena.
Jiang Ning and the others also put aside all their work to attend their wedding.
Wang Xiufen and Yu Qi hadn't seen each other for three months, and this was their first meeting.
Because of their different social statuses, everyone sat in different seats.
This wedding was one of the most trendy ever. Everyone couldn't help but smile like doting aunts when they saw Yang Xiu and Wu Jing, the newlyweds, wearing beautiful dresses and drinking the nuptial wine in public.
Yang Ziqiang was overjoyed; the child he had raised for so many years was finally getting married.
Yang Lu didn't have a wedding ceremony when he got married, which he regretted a lot. His son's wedding finally made up for that regret.
Just as he was toasting the guests, Ji Min, who had been protected by Jiang Ning, looked up and saw Yang Ziqiang not far away.
A strange chill rose from the soles of her feet, and she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
When Jiang Ning saw her mother suddenly clutch her chest, she was terrified and quickly helped her to see a doctor.
When Yang Ziqiang came over to offer a toast, he only saw their departing backs.
