Since they weren't in a hurry to leave, they decided to go over there first to check out the situation.
After all, the most important thing right now is to vent our anger.
After returning to her room, Xia Anyan took out a phoenix hairpin from her spatial storage.
After that, she went to the bank again, pretending that she had just withdrawn the money, and then took Lao Zhang to the Friendship Store.
The working hours at Friendship Store are now separate, with each person working six hours a day and shifts changing.
Unfortunately, when they arrived, the group that had mocked her and Gu's mother had already left work.
Xia Anyan was a little unhappy, but thinking about what she was going to do next made her feel much more at ease.
"Hello, I'm looking for your manager." Xia Anyan approached one of the sales clerks.
The sales clerk scanned Xia Anyan up and down, seemingly with some disdain.
Xia Anyan's eyes were somewhat cold: "What, you're giving up a perfectly good business opportunity to offend people to the point of no return, and then you regret it?"
Xia Anyan speaks very bluntly.
Moreover, her demeanor suggested she wasn't an ordinary person, and the sales clerks were indeed somewhat intimidated, so they went to find their manager.
When the manager came out, he scanned Xia Anyan and Lao Zhang back and forth for a while before walking up to Lao Zhang: "Comrade, I heard you came to see me. Is there something you need?"
Old Zhang looked at him with a cold face: "My daughter is looking for you."
As he spoke, he took a step back, voluntarily giving Xia Anyan the space.
The manager looked at Xia Anyan, somewhat puzzled.
this……
He forced an awkward smile: "Comrade, what brings you here?"
He was actually starting to regret it; he had already ordered them to leave, so why had he come out?
Although that's what he thought in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
"Take a look at this first." Xia Anyan placed the box in front of the manager.
She placed it casually, and the manager accepted it just as casually, neither of them finding it particularly interesting.
Seeing his expression, Xia Anyan did not stop him, but just watched coldly from the side.
Old Zhang wanted to say something, but Xia Anyan gave him a look, telling him not to interfere.
That would be interesting if this thing broke.
The manager casually opened the box without even looking at what was inside.
It was precisely because of his carelessness that the phoenix hairpin inside fell directly to the ground.
By the time the manager realized what it was, it was too late.
The next moment, with a crisp snap, the phoenix hairpin broke into two pieces the instant it hit the ground.
Xia Anyan and Lao Zhang's expressions changed simultaneously.
Old Zhang, in particular, was furious: "How could you do this? This thing is extremely valuable, and you actually smashed it? Do you even know that this thing is..."
The manager was also very flustered and even a little agitated.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"I... I'll take it to the back right now and have our craftsman fix it for you, okay?"
The manager was almost in tears.
He never expected that this woman would be able to produce something like this.
Who would have thought? It was just a small box, and it didn't look worth much.
But this...
Xia Anyan scoffed: "Manager, when I handed you this, I didn't mention its value, but you should know what it is by virtue of bringing it here."
"I don't know what your mentality is, whether you look down on me or this thing, you were so careless. Do you really think that an ordinary person like me can't do anything to you?"
The manager's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He stammered, unsure how to explain.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
"I...I really didn't mean to."
"Comrade, you must believe me." The manager held the broken phoenix hairpin in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
This thing looks very valuable.
Moreover, judging from the broken part, it is made of gold inside. This thing is currently priceless and unavailable. If foreigners see it, they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it.
He's essentially stuck with something that's now worthless.
Even if it can be replenished later, the price will be greatly affected.
In the end, Xia Anyan and Lao Zhang were both invited to the office.
The manager bowed and scraped as he apologized to them, and even offered compensation.
"Manager, I didn't come here to extort you. I just want to know what this thing is worth here?"
"It's inconvenient for me to carry this with me, so I wanted to bring it here to consign for sale. I believe the manager understands what I mean. But now the item is damaged and can't be sold at all. I just want to know, manager, what are you planning to do?"
The manager looked at the phoenix hairpin, then at Xia Anyan.
He sighed and made up his mind: "Comrade, if you're willing, I'll buy this phoenix hairpin."
“My ancestors were quite worldly, and they left my grandfather a set of jewelry to be passed down to their descendants.”
“In my father’s generation, there were seven or eight brothers, and I also have an aunt, so there weren’t enough to go around. By the time it got to my generation, there were even more children, and my father didn’t have that many nice things to give us. My wife just needs a decent piece of jewelry, so consider this a gift from me to my wife. Is that alright?”
Hmph, this one knows how to talk.
Xia Anyan and Lao Zhang exchanged a glance and did not refuse.
Actually, to be honest, isn't this exactly what they came here for?
Now that the manager is willing to spend money, what difference does it make who we fleece? As long as we can give those people at Friendship Store a good slap in the face, that's all that matters.
"Manager, we can trade this as you just said, but there's something I'd like to say." Xia Anyan didn't agree immediately, but instead planned to bring up what happened that morning.
The manager felt a chill run down his spine and started to panic. Could something else have happened? Please, no, these two don't look like easy targets.
Just as the manager was praying that nothing bad would happen, it did.
Xia Anyan told the manager about what happened when she and Gu's mother came over that morning.
"We didn't buy anything before leaving because we didn't have enough foreign exchange certificates, but that doesn't mean we didn't have the means. Yet they looked down on us and even said such disgusting things. I'm really unhappy about that."
"So, I brought this thing here, firstly to let them know that I have this ability, so they have to apologize to me."
"Secondly, it's also to let you know that when dealing with customers, you really shouldn't overestimate yourself, or you'll easily be proven wrong."
