Chapter 58: Class Arrogance
"I won't wear this brooch at events for now."
Xu Junhuan raised his eyes and looked deeply at Shen Jingjing, his eyes slightly cold as he said, "Sister, we are going out soon. If the brooch is really taken away by you, you can return it while we are away. I promise not to hold you responsible for anything."
He felt that this approach was very respectful to the other party and the handling method was very gentle.
But Shen Jingjing was not afraid of any slander, so she clarified again: "Gentlemen, I have worked in the hotel for more than ten years and have never taken anything from the guests. If the lost item is really important to you, then I still suggest that you report it to the police to avoid unnecessary losses."
"You..." Seeing that Shen Jingjing was unmoved, the thin man immediately became angry and yelled, "Don't give me face! Do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
Shen Jingjing was very angry at the other party's slanderous and arrogant attitude, but she was not allowed to speak excessively due to her job, so she could only turn her head away angrily and ignore it.
The manager, who had worked with Shen Jingjing for a long time and knew her well, immediately chimed in, "Calm down, both of you. I'm not trying to defend our employees. This is a veteran employee who's been with the hotel for over a decade. She's helped guests find large amounts of cash left in guest rooms before, and she always found a way to return it immediately. Our housekeeping department even has a banner from a guest that says 'Returning Lost Money'."
"Of course she's going to return the huge amount of cash that's so conspicuous. Could she just stuff it in her pocket and take it away? But the brooch is different. Who would notice if she just slipped it in somewhere and stole it?" The thin man insisted, glaring at Shen Jingjing and mocking her, "She didn't even wear her work badge. Isn't she just afraid that we'll remember her name because she's guilty as a thief?"
"mom?"
As a result, just as the voice fell, Shen Ci's voice rang out from the door of the room.
The tense atmosphere in the room froze, and everyone looked up. When they saw Shen Ci, the room manager and the thin man were subconsciously stunned, while Xu Junhuan was dumbfounded.
Is it her?
The girl who sat next to me on the plane yesterday but didn’t recognize me!
He shifted his gaze to the housekeeping staff, the only woman in the room who could be her mother.
"I've brought your badge. I came all the way from the 26th floor to find you. I sent you a message but you didn't even reply."
Shen Jingjing took the work badge and pinned it on her clothes. As if she didn't want her daughter to see this scene where she was framed, Shen Jingjing urged her: "Mom is working, you go back first."
There were only a few people in the room, and Shen Ci naturally recognized Xu Junhuan. Although she didn't know the whole story, she had just heard some vague words in the corridor.
She continued the other person's words and responded, "My mom didn't have any guilty conscience. She forgot her work badge at home this morning, so she didn't wear it."
"Aci, this is none of your business. Go back first and be obedient." Shen Jingjing knew her daughter's character and didn't want her to have a verbal conflict with the two men. She couldn't help but reach out and pull her daughter's arm, trying to get her to leave first.
Shen Ci looked at her mother and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Mom. I know my limits."
Turning her head, she looked directly at Xu Junhuan and asked expressionlessly, "What did you lose? Where did you lose it? When did you lose it?"
Xu Junhuan seemed to have not expected the other party to be so calm, and he actually asked him directly as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Please recall carefully. As a hotel staff member, my mother has the obligation to help you deal with such incidents, but as the person involved, you also have the responsibility to carefully recall all the details." Shen Ci said again.
Shen Jingjing, who originally wanted to persuade her daughter to leave, nodded as if possessed by a ghost after hearing her daughter's words, thinking that what her daughter said made sense.
The thin man originally thought the girl was pretty and kept his attention on her face. However, the moment she spoke, he became furious: "Who are you? Do you know who you are talking to..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Junhuan patted him on the shoulder to stop him. He looked at Xu Junhuan in confusion, and saw Xu Junhuan said seriously: "I lost a diamond brooch. It was in this hotel room. I don't remember when it disappeared."
He answered the three questions asked by Shen Ci.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci asked again, "When and where was the last time you saw such a valuable brooch?"
"Last night, in the room."
"Were you alone at that time?"
Xu Junhuan shook his head: "No, there are others."
Seeing the two of them chatting, the thin man couldn't help but interject, "Last night, after we arrived at the hotel, the brand sent someone to deliver the clothes and brooch. The clothes are hanging in the closet at the door, but the brooch is gone."
So when you got up this morning, before my mother came into the room, did you see the brooch again?
Xu Junhuan's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he still shook his head honestly: "I didn't notice it, but when the brand came yesterday, they put the box containing the brooch on the table. I saw the box the whole time, but I didn't open it specifically to see the brooch. When I opened it, the brooch was gone."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ci said, "In other words, the last time you saw the brooch was last night, and at that time there were many other people in your room besides you, including people from your team and the brand."
"Then how do you conclude that the brooch was lost after my mother entered the room?"
Xu Junhuan choked up for a moment, hesitated for a moment and explained: "I've just asked the rest of the team, and they all..."
"They all say they didn't take it?" Chen Ci interrupted Xu Junhuan and sneered, "My mother also said she didn't take it. Why is it that when your people say they didn't take it, it really means they didn't take it, but when my mother says she didn't take it, it's just quibbling?"
Xu Junhuan was speechless, because there was no loophole in Shen Ci's logic. They really had no substantial evidence, but because...
Class superiority and arrogance!
When this sentence flashed through Xu Junhuan's mind, his brows tightened involuntarily, and he realized that he had made a mistake of principle.
He shouldn't be like this!
Chen Ci turned and walked to the door, closed it, then walked back and looked at the people in the room and said, "You trust your people, and the hotel trusts my mother. There's nothing wrong with that. But a brooch won't grow legs or wings and disappear on its own. If no one else has entered this room, then it's likely still here."
After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to search without wasting any time: "Everyone, let's search again carefully."
She came to the door and opened the wardrobe. The suit sent by the brand was hanging in the closet. Chen Ci originally wanted to start looking from the door, but when she reached out to take down the suit jacket hanging inside, she found a shiny brooch hanging on the clothes!
