"The police are here, so how could it be fake? Maybe they fed the fish hormones to make them look fresh, but the meat they ate was already rotten!"
"Oh dear, that's really too much!"
"I often buy fish from their store, and they actually cheated me like this! It's outrageous!"
"Yeah, what about all of us who bought fish from her? Won't we all have health problems?"
The police searched the supermarket but found nothing, so they left.
Sun Youzhi instructed his employees to reopen the supermarket doors.
He stood at the door and spoke.
"I had something come up earlier and delayed your shopping. I'm so sorry. Now, we're open for business again. You can come in and choose what you want to buy."
However, a discordant voice arose from the crowd.
"Your supermarket sells fish with problems, we won't fall for that again!"
"That's right! You're heartless merchants! You specialize in selling rotten, stinky fish that will make people sick!"
Sun Youzhi was completely dumbfounded.
"All our fish and shrimp are caught that day, they are all live fish and shrimp, and our prices are very fair, so how could there be a problem?"
Just then, an old woman held up a fish in her hand.
"I bought this fish at your supermarket this morning. It looked alive when I bought it, but it went rotten as soon as I got home. And you even said your fish was fine!"
A foul stench wafted over, and everyone covered their noses.
Everyone looked at the fish in the old lady's hand, and they could see that they were indeed rotten.
"Could it be true, as everyone says, that they feed their fish drugs to keep them alive until they rot when they get home?"
Sun Youzhi looked at the fish in the old lady's hand with some confusion.
"This shouldn't be happening. I bought the fish this morning, it's only been a few hours, how could it have rotted like this?"
The old lady looked furious.
"Are you saying I wronged you? This fish was bought from your place!"
Others nearby echoed this sentiment.
“I saw this old lady when I came to the seafood supermarket this morning. I can vouch for her; she bought it here!”
"Yes, I'll testify too!"
With witnesses and physical evidence, people were even more convinced that there was something wrong with the fish in the seafood supermarket.
Public discontent is growing louder.
"You unscrupulous supermarkets, you're making money by betraying your conscience!"
"Give us our money back! We don't want the fish we bought from you anymore, give us our money back!"
The sounds rose and fell, growing louder and louder.
Although Sun Youzhi sensed something was wrong, he still tried to calm the crowd down.
"Don't worry, everyone. In business, integrity is paramount. I'll refund the money to everyone now. Please rest assured about our quality; our fish are absolutely fine."
Sun Youzhi originally intended to return the money to the few who made the biggest fuss and settle the matter peacefully.
I didn't expect so many people to ask for a refund.
Even those who bought fish from them just two weeks ago are demanding a refund.
Sun Youzhi was simply unable to cope.
I was originally planning to handle it myself, but I didn't want to bother Jiang Jingxue.
Now, Qi Cuicui has no choice but to call Jiang Jingxue.
When Jiang Jingxue arrived after receiving the call, the situation was somewhat out of control.
After listening to Sun Youzhi recount the whole story.
Jiang Jingxue felt that something was off.
It just so happens that someone lost something very valuable, and while the police were closing down the store to search for it, someone came to cause trouble. What a coincidence!
Have you ever seen the person who lost their necklace? What did they look like?
Sun Youzhi shook his head.
"No. Only the police came just now; that person didn't come."
"You deal with the customers in front of you for now, I'll figure something out."
Jiang Jingxue called the police station directly, wanting the customer's home address so she could apologize to her in person and offer compensation.
The police officer heard this.
Although the necklace was not found.
However, the supermarket is willing to provide compensation, and a peaceful resolution between the two parties is also acceptable.
"The lady didn't leave a home address, but she did leave a phone number. You two can communicate with her."
They successfully obtained that phone number.
Jiang Jingxue sent the number to Qin Liang, asking him to help her find out where the phone number belonged.
Just then.
Yue Keqi also rushed over.
"Sister Jingxue, what exactly happened?"
"I was out shopping just now and I heard people saying that there was something wrong with the fish at the seafood supermarket. People were hospitalized after eating it, and it almost killed them. They also said that the police came and sealed off the store. What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue realized it was just another rumor.
The police came to the supermarket to look for the necklace that the person who reported it lost. When did it become a matter of closing the store because someone died from eating it?
This was absolutely a premeditated frame-up!
"This is completely fabricated. I am investigating the truth of the matter."
Qin Liang called very quickly.
"Madam, we've found it. This phone number belongs to the Bai family."
"Bai Xiuxiu's house?"
"right!"
Hearing this answer, Jiang Jingxue had a clue.
It must have been Bai Xiuxiu who deliberately made a false police report and took the opportunity to spread rumors!
"Bai Xiuxiu, it's that slut again!"
Yue Keqi, standing to the side, was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"Sister Jingxue, I think we should send someone to arrest Bai Xiuxiu, put her in a sack, and beat her up. Then everything will be clear!"
Jiang Jingxue also knew that this method was simple and direct, and would definitely be effective.
But she didn't want to give people something to say about it.
In any case, Bai Xiuxiu is now pregnant.
If something were to happen and someone were to die or miscarry, she would become a sinner, and might even implicate Gu Pingwei.
She wouldn't do something that would hurt the enemy a thousand while also hurting herself eight hundred.
"Let's deal with the immediate crisis first."
Sun Youzhi was almost devoured alive by the crowd, who surrounded him demanding a refund.
Jiang Jingxue picked up a megaphone used for selling goods and stood at the supermarket entrance.
"Quiet down! Everyone come here to me tomorrow morning for a refund! As long as you can prove you bought it from our supermarket, I'll give you double the amount back! Now, anyone who causes trouble here won't get a single penny back!"
Most ordinary people are simply seeking justice and an explanation.
Upon hearing Jiang Jingxue's words, everyone left quietly.
When the crowd dispersed, the people Bai Xiuxiu had hired, seeing that there was no need to continue the act, simply left as well.
Jiang Jingxue had also sent people to keep an eye on them long ago.
We kept going until we reached a secluded corner.
Bai Xiuxiu gave each of them ten yuan.
"Come early tomorrow, and if you stir up trouble again, I'll give each of you another ten dollars!"
"Yes, we will definitely do our best!"
The shills left happily with the money.
A smug smile appeared on Bai Xiuxiu's face.
"Jiang Jingxue, your seafood supermarket's reputation is ruined!"
"Tomorrow, a lot of people will definitely come to you demanding refunds! They'll even offer double compensation. Let's see if you can afford to pay them back!"
"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for offending me. I'll make sure you lose everything, even your underwear!"
