The store employees dared not testify for He Wenlin, because they also had to consider the boss, Zhang Yanjun, who was, after all, a relative of the boss.

But the customers in the store don't need it.

So as soon as He Wenlin finished speaking, several older customers around said, "I saw it all. It was this woman who was wrong. She started it. The young lady is right."

"Bullying the weak is too vicious."

"They're just taking advantage of being related to the boss."

...

Hearing these words, Zhang Yanjun was furious.

Actually, even without the customers as witnesses, looking at the goods scattered all over the floor and considering his sister-in-law's temper, he would believe what He Wenlin said.

Zhang Yanjun quickly comforted He Wenlin: "Xiao He, don't be angry or cry. Don't worry, I'll definitely explain this to you."

"Linlin." Father He, Grandma He, and Lin Fei's second brother arrived in a flurry.

Seeing the tears on He Wenlin's face, the four of them became furious!

"Linlin, who did this? Who did this? Who hit my daughter? Step forward!" Father He shouted as he looked around.

Second brother: "Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Stand up! You're bullying my sister because she's underage. Don't you have any shame?"

Lin Fei shouted, "Bullying the weak, Linlin, who did it? Tell me, I'll get revenge for you!"

After scanning the room, Mr. He's gaze finally settled on Xiao Liru: "Was it you?"

As he spoke, Mr. He rushed over to hit her.

"Comrade, don't get agitated. We'll handle this." Fearing that Mr. He and his group might start a fight, the policeman quickly stopped them. "All of you, come with me to the station."

“No need to go to the office, come to my office in the back.” After Zhang Yanjun finished speaking, he said to He’s father and He Wenlin, “Don’t be angry, I will definitely explain this matter. Come on, come on, let’s go to my office.”

In such disputes, the police primarily act as mediators.

So when Zhang Yanjun suggested going to the office, the police asked both parties, "What about you? Do you want to resolve this in the back or at the station?"

Xiao Liru realized she had met her match, so she braced herself and said in a low voice, "I'll do as you say."

He Wenlin had no objections. In this situation, it was impossible to send the person in. What He Wenlin wanted was compensation and an apology.

Zhang Yanjun turned to Dai Xiufen and said, "Have someone tidy this up."

Then they led the police and both parties to the meeting room.

"Tell me, how is it now?" the policeman asked.

“I want her to apologize and compensate me for my goods. My goods are all fragile. After she kicked and trampled them like that, they are definitely unsellable. I want her to compensate me at the original price.”

After He Wenlin finished speaking, the police officer asked Xiao Liru, "And you?"

Zhang Yanjun quickly said, "She agrees to compensate. Boss He, please take a count of how many goods were damaged and we'll compensate you."

"Then how do we settle the matter of her taking my position?" He Wenlin asked. "Mr. Zhang, this matter..."

"I knew absolutely nothing about this. The place was rented to you, and no one was allowed to touch it for the next seven days!"

Hearing this, Xiao Liru became furious: "How could you sell it to her? That place promised to provide me with tissues!"

Zhang Yanjun was annoyed just looking at her, and said irritably, "Who said we agreed? When did I agree to that? Did you pay me before I gave it to you? Let me tell you, this is my shop, and I decide where to put what goods!"

Xiao Liru fell silent instantly.

He was so choked up that he wanted to disappear.

The policeman tapped on the table: "What are you yelling about? Get to the point."

Zhang Yanjun said, "Xiao He, we'll stick to the agreement and put your egg roll in that spot."

“Okay.” He Wenlin readily agreed.

"And you?" the police officer asked Xiao Liru. "You kicked someone's things over and damaged them. You even laid a hand on a child. Apologizing and compensating them is only right and proper."

After a long pause, Xiao Liru managed to squeeze out a single word: "Pay up."

"Then go and calculate how much you need to pay?" the policeman said to He Wenlin.

"OK."

He Wenlin called her second brother Lin Fei and they went to the store together. The display had been restored to its original state.

He Wenlin and the others each pushed a shopping cart and went through all the goods on the display shelf. He Wenlin secretly pressed down hard on the items that weren't broken.

This woman's so tough, isn't she? So rich, isn't she? Well, let's make your wallet bleed!

He Wenlin, her second brother Lin Fei, and two others pushed twenty-seven boxes of goods into the conference room.

"Officer, she damaged all of these. There were 27 boxes in total, at 9.5 yuan per box, totaling 256.5 yuan. In addition, because she delayed our work and sales time, she has to compensate us a little more, rounding it up to 300 yuan. She can take these goods with her."

“You sold it for nine yuan and fifty cents, but that’s not the cost price. Why should I lose money based on the selling price?” Xiao Liru protested again.

Mr. He said angrily, "Compensate at cost price? You wish! We went through all that trouble to transport the goods here to make a profit. If it weren't for you, all these goods would be sold out by now! Because of you, we lost time and damaged the goods, so of course we should pay the selling price! Why should we pay for your mistakes? Weren't you quite arrogant when you were bullying my daughter? Didn't you feel good kicking and stomping on her?"

He Wenlin: "Because our goods were not sold, and we can't sell them, you have to compensate us at the selling price, but you can take these goods away."

“Three hundred it is!” Zhang Yanjun felt bad for He Wenlin because the incident happened in his shop, so he immediately gave her three hundred yuan.

“Mr. Zhang, this money is not your responsibility. Does she not want to pay? If not, we’ll go to the police station to resolve this.” He Wenlin did not take his money. “She should also apologize to me. For your sake, I won’t ask her to apologize in public at the store. She can apologize here. I’m listening.”

He Wenlin knew she was young. When she started doing business, the better people would appreciate her because of her age and give her opportunities.

However, there are also people like Xiao Liru who think that because you are young, you are easy to bully.

“The money is rightfully yours. She has goods with me, so when I settle the bill, I'll just deduct it from her payment.” After saying that, Zhang Yanjun forcefully stuffed the money into He Wenlin’s hand.

Xiao Liru didn't say anything at this moment, and dropped the matter.

He Wenlin took the money and said, "She still has to apologize to me. She's acting like a gangster. If everyone were like her, how could we do business? I also want her to give me a guarantee."

The police officer turned to look at Xiao Liru: "She's right. If you apologize now, this matter will be over. Otherwise, come with us to the station to resolve this. Bullying a minor, you're such a grown adult, you really have the nerve to do that."

Xiao Liru spoke hesitantly, her voice barely audible, and said "I'm sorry."

Hearing her apologize, He Wenlin stopped pressing the issue and knew when to stop, otherwise the police and Zhang Yanjun would have been angry with her.

However, even after she apologized, the matter was not over. The police gave Xiao Liru a half-hour lecture on her bullying behavior.
