Chapter 240 Infringement of Rights
Seeing the tour guide looking confident, I quickly took out the materials I had prepared in advance.
"Everyone, this is the letter of commitment stamped by the travel agency - it clearly states 'no compulsory consumption'!"
The camera on the phone was pointed directly at the guide's pale face. The number of people in the live broadcast room had soared to 50,000, and the screen was covered with dense comments.
"Why do we have to buy something before we can leave now? Are you playing word games and putting the blame on the scenic spot?"
I shook out the thin paper and pressed my fingertips hard on the red seal.
"Ms. Gu, you misunderstood. Our travel agency does not force consumption. But this is the scenic spot's own rule, and I can't do anything about it..." He winked at the shopping guide as he spoke.
The person behind immediately responded: "Yes! Our scenic spot needs to survive, everyone cooperate!"
The tour guide's Adam's apple rolled again, he took a half step back and gave a dry laugh.
"But some things here are really cheap. Since we are here, it's okay to buy a little."
"I just don't want to buy it now. Can we go to the next attraction?"
I no longer wanted to play word games with the tour guide and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"I see. The scenic spot has such regulations, and we can't do anything about it."
It seems like this tour guide won’t let us leave unless we buy. In that case, let’s see who gives in first. I estimate that there are already over several thousand people in the live broadcast room.
"This room is filled with all kinds of jade, silver ornaments, and other things. Look around and see what's actually there!"
A young lady picked up a silver bracelet casually.
"Beautiful lady, you have a good taste! This is authentic Yunnan snowflake silver. It is not only beautiful to wear on your hands, but also can detoxify and maintain health!"
The shopping guide's eyes lit up and he immediately came over and started talking nonstop.
I saw that she was worried, but I had seen this routine many times on the Internet.
"I came out to see the scenery, not to buy these things. What do you want?"
At this time, a young man frowned and said.
As soon as the words fell, the shopping guide's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Now that you're here, it would be a shame if you don't buy some local specialties to take back. This will support our local economy, otherwise..." Although the rest of the words were not spoken out loud, they were full of threats.
The tour guide Xiao Zhao also came over and said, "Uncle, everyone please cooperate, it will be done quickly. Otherwise, the trip will be delayed and you won’t be able to visit the rest of the attractions." He smiled wryly.
I felt a surge of anger.
"We signed up for a pure play tour, and there is no mandatory shopping clause in the contract. You are violating our rights!"
Other tourists also echoed this, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
The tour guide and the shopping guide showed no intention of backing down, and it seemed as if the stalemate continued and they would not be able to leave today unless they bought something.
Suddenly, the metal rolling door was pulled down halfway with a "crash".
The air suddenly became hot and humid, and the crowd became agitated. The heroine turned her phone to the blue-faced uncle - he was helping the aunt to sit on a plastic chair, while the latter covered her chest and gasped.
"I-We'll buy it! Let us out after we buy it!"
The uncle suddenly roared.
I secretly glanced at the barrage.
[Don't compromise!]
[Come on, we are all with you!]
[Such bad merchants must be severely punished.]
"Brother, you know what's good! The original price of this jade pendant is 3,800 yuan, but I'll give you a special discount of 2,000 yuan!"
Then he added, "Brother, look, these are all top quality."
The tour guide trotted over and handed over the price tag.
"That's it! Three hundred dollars!"
The uncle pushed aside the price list and pointed to the cheapest bamboo coaster in the corner.
"Look! This big brother is so straightforward! Everyone hold on tight!"
Looking at this, I felt really bad. No wonder Sisi was so angry.
The barrage scrolls wildly
[Fuck, this is a robbery!]
[Bamboo coasters for 9.9 on Taobao, free shipping!]
[Host, take a quick look at the price tag! This is all evidence!]
I took advantage of the crowd's shoving and pushed to aim the camera at the shelves.
"The 'handmade silver jewelry' priced at 598 had a label from a wholesale market, and the 'wild ganoderma' priced at 880 had the plastic film not even torn off."
"You still have the nerve to sell it, aren't you afraid of being arrested?"
I controlled my emotions while negotiating with the tour guide.
"Catch him. I've seen this happen many times."
I listened to the guide muttering quietly.
Seeing that he was still arrogant, I continued to lower my voice and said into the microphone: "Family, the shopping receipt and scenic spot location have been recorded synchronously and will be uploaded to the network disk later."
As the aunt continued to take out her money with trembling hands, the shopping guide rolled her eyes but continued shouting at the top of her voice.
"Some people have started buying. Everything here is on sale now! If you don't like daily necessities, you can buy food. If you need both food and daily necessities, you can buy them together. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
The whole store was stuffy and hot. Some people hadn't eaten breakfast, so they had no choice but to give up and buy things worth hundreds of dollars.
Some people are afraid and want to go back quickly, so they can only give up.
An hour later, the passengers returned to the bus clutching the inferior goods.
The cool air from the air conditioner hit my face, but it couldn't extinguish the gunpowder smell in the car.
"You are the only ones who are eager to be scapegoated! We are all shouldering this together, how dare they not let us go?!"
The young man with dyed blond hair in the back seat suddenly kicked the back of a chair.
"If we don't leave, then we won't leave. I don't believe what she can do to us. She will lock us up here for a whole day."
"My wife's asthma medicine is in the bag! If I keep it closed for another half an hour and someone dies, will you be responsible?!"
The aunt shrank her neck and wiped her tears, while the uncle stood up suddenly with veins bulging on his neck.
"you--"
Huangmao looked at the situation and didn't say anything, but curses continued to be heard.
"I'm sorry, everyone. My wife is worried about me too. Please don't be angry."
I hid the camera in the opening of my backpack, and the picture showed the clenched fists of the passenger in the front row and the hypocritical smile of the tour guide who was trying to stop the fight.
Suddenly, a special effect message flashed across the barrage:
[Legal Aid Lawyer Zhang: The police have recorded the video and asked the anchor to continue to provide location information]
"Thank you everyone! We are returning to the highway, next stop is Qingshui Ancient Town."
Hearing the sound, I quickly put down my phone to avoid being seen.
When I looked up, I happened to see the tour guide's sinister gaze sweeping across the back row.
"Everyone be quiet! Next we're going to a real five-star hotel!"
The tour guide grabbed the microphone and shouted, digging his nails into the foam cover, as if nothing had happened just now.
The carriage gradually fell silent, leaving only the aunt's suppressed sobs.
It was a false alarm. I quickly rubbed my belly and switched the live broadcast to background recording mode.
“I don’t know where to go later, and whether it’s really a five-star hotel.” The college student next to him no longer had the same expression as before, and was left with only helplessness.
"Don't worry, there are so many people here, he won't dare to do anything to us."
As the dusk deepened outside the window, the bus rolled over a pothole. During the bumpy ride, I felt for the hard-cover notebook in my bag - the miniature camera that I had hastily stuffed in this morning was still flashing when the red light came on.
