Although she said she was resting at home, Xu Lin didn't stay idle. She came to the store the next morning. Her own business was indeed different from working a regular job.
Today is Li Jingjing's early shift. She has already cleaned the store. Xu Lin told her that she is going to Jinshi tomorrow and asked her to organize a group purchase. She will compile the statistics tonight and send the electronic version to Xu Lin so that she has a clear understanding of the situation.
Several people came to buy seafood one after another in the morning. Just as Xu Lin was about to go home for lunch, a group of people came into the store, each carrying a weapon, clearly with ill intentions.
Just as Wang Jing was about to stand up and argue, Xu Lin stopped her with a look. She glanced at the store's surveillance camera and Wang Jing immediately understood.
"Who's the boss?" the leading man asked.
"Me," Xu Lin stepped forward.
"You? Don't you know that seafood isn't something just anyone can sell?"
"have no idea."
"Grandpa's going to teach you a lesson, I'll smash it!"
At the man's command, the men behind him swarmed forward, swinging baseball bats and smashing the shelves, smashing everything they could.
Xu Lin said to the man in charge who was standing by, "Who gave you permission to come? Why can't I sell seafood?"
"Don't you know whose business you've stolen? My brother is the head of the supply department, you must be blind." the leader said.
"It's definitely not Minister Men who told you to do this. You're ruining his reputation!" Xu Lin said angrily.
"Stop flattering Brother Men! Let me tell you today, in this base, no one but Brother Men can run this seafood business! This is my statement, and it's also Brother Men's decision!" the leader roared.
"Oh? No one else can do it but him? Why?"
"Just because my brother is the head of the supply department, and his older brother is the person in charge of the base, no one can compete with him for any business he wants to do at the base..."
The leader rambled on and on, and Xu Lin listened, then waited until they had all finished smashing things.
"Have you smashed everything?" Xu Lin asked the troublemakers, pressing the remote control on her phone.
"What, you still have some left to smash?" the leader asked.
“Yes, I’m the owner of this shop, and you haven’t smashed my things yet!” Xu Lin said with a smile.
The leader was amused, and some people even went so far as to ask for a beating.
"Since you've asked, we'll grant your request. I'll do it myself."
After the leader finished speaking, he swung the stick at Xu Lin's face. Xu Lin grabbed the stick with her right hand and kicked the man in the knee with her left foot. The man was in so much pain that he knelt on the ground. Xu Lin snatched the stick and hit the man in the back. The man immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing their leader being beaten, the others grabbed their weapons and swung them at Xu Lin. When Wang Jing and Li Jingjing realized the situation was getting out of hand, they grabbed sticks and joined in, making the scene difficult to control.
"stop!"
As the last henchman was knocked down, a shout rang out.
A large crowd had already gathered at the entrance. In the center was Sun Wei's uncle, who was now Minister Sun. He must have been the one who shouted the words earlier. Zhou Pin was also there. He walked directly to Xu Lin to check if she was injured.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?"
“Minister Sun, it’s quite obvious, those three beat us up,” said one of the henchmen lying on the ground.
"You came to someone's shop looking for a beating?" Minister Sun asked.
"We came to buy seafood, but their seafood wasn't fresh, so we didn't want to buy it anymore, and then they started beating us up."
Since the shop was smashed to pieces, there was no way to check if the seafood was fresh or not.
"Is that so?" Minister Sun turned to ask Xu Lin.
