"Smack!"
Jiang Yiran lost her temper and suddenly slapped the employee who was urging her across the face. "Useless! I pay you salaries, and this is how you do your jobs? You watched them move things out of my warehouse, and you didn't stop them. Now you have the nerve to ask me what to do?"
The employee was caught off guard and was completely stunned.
After realizing what had happened, she glared angrily at Jiang Yiran, "Jiang Yiran, this is a new society. I work for you, not to be your slave. I call you 'boss lady,' and you really think you're something special? You dare to hit me! I'm going to report you to the police right now!"
The employee angrily went to the police station.
Jiang Yiran's face darkened even more after being humiliated in public by an employee. She glanced at the onlookers and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Then, her gaze fell on another employee. "What are you all standing there for? She's going to call the police, you should go too!"
"Me? Why would I report this to the police?"
The employee who was called out by Jiang Yiran was confused, since she hadn't been hit.
"Go report it to the police and say that our store has been robbed!"
As soon as Jiang Yiran said this, Qin Haiyang's expression changed.
The people who took the rice from the warehouse were his own mother and older brother. What is Jiang Yiran trying to do?
He suddenly felt a surge of anger and grabbed Jiang Yiran.
But he calmed down before speaking; he couldn't afford to offend Jiang Yiran right now.
"Ranran, my mom, brother, and sister-in-law were wrong in this matter. I apologize to you on their behalf. I'll do whatever you want to punish them when we get home tonight. Please don't be angry, okay?" Qin Haiyang coaxed her softly in an ambiguous tone.
Jiang Yiran was hoping that Qin Haiyang would become rich so she could enjoy the life of a billionaire's wife, and she didn't want to ruin their relationship over such a small matter.
"Waaaaah..." she said, wiping away her tears. "Brother Haiyang, it's not your fault. But now the rice we were supposed to give away is gone, what are we going to do? Waaaaah..."
Qin Haiyang frowned and thought for a moment, "We've already given away enough rice today, so let's tell them that the amount of rice given away is limited, first come, first served."
As he spoke, he went up on stage and picked up a megaphone to announce the news.
Everyone is still queuing up at the rice distribution point, waiting to receive their rice!
When he said there was no more rice, everyone immediately erupted in excitement.
"You yourselves said that anyone who made a purchase today would receive a pound of rice, but now you're saying the quantity is limited and you're not giving it away anymore. You're scammers!"
When people gather, their emotions are most easily stirred up.
Once someone has characterized their behavior, the emotions of the others are immediately stirred up.
"Liar, liar..."
"I will never buy anything from their store again!"
"Their products are expensive and of poor quality; the sugar is melted. Give me my money back!"
...
The crowd was outraged, and many people who had bought goods but had not yet received their rice crowded to the cashier to demand a refund.
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, Jiang Yiran not only failed to calm the customers down, but also snatched the megaphone from Qin Haiyang and shouted, "You bunch of greedy bastards, you're talking nonsense! The things I sell..."
Jiang Yiran immediately launched into a tirade against all the customers.
The already angry crowd became even angrier, and some people even picked up trash from the ground and started throwing it at her.
Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Yiran's antics.
Qin Haiyang originally said that the quantity of rice was limited and that once it was all distributed, there would be no more issues.
If you just give each person in line a piece of fruit candy or something as a small compensation, the matter will be over.
But Jiang Yiran's outburst...
Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but shake her head. With Jiang Yiran's brain, she thought she could make a fortune in business? She was dreaming!
Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying were initially a little angry that Jiang Yiran had made a mess of her business and embarrassed them.
But seeing Jiang Yiran being surrounded by so many people, all that remained was heartache.
Peng Cuiying saw Jiang Qiaoqiao watching the commotion from the sidelines, took two steps over and grabbed her, "Jiang Qiaoqiao, don't you have a heart? Look how badly your sister has been bullied! Why aren't you going up and taking her down? You're just standing here watching the show!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao broke free from Peng Cuiying's hand and looked at her with cold eyes.
"What does she have to do with me? If you care about your daughter, then protect her yourself, don't try to boss me around."
“You—” Peng Cuiying was speechless with anger.
She wanted to go up and protect him, but could she really do it now?
If she were to go up there, these people would not only tear her apart, but it might also affect Jiang Jiahua's election as factory director.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so she called Zhou Yang and Zhou Ling'er and left.
She took two steps before realizing that Huo Beixiao was standing still.
She instinctively wanted to ask Huo Beixiao what was wrong, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that Huo Beixiao's gaze was fixed on Jiang Yiran.
His fists, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly, as if he was trying to suppress something.
Finally, before Jiang Qiaoqiao could speak, Huo Beixiao had already pushed through the crowd and rushed onto the stage.
"Yangyang, Ling'er, let's go home," Jiang Qiaoqiao said calmly.
“But, Sister Qiaoqiao, Brother Beixiao…” Zhou Ling’er didn’t quite understand what had happened. She just felt that they were family with Huo Beixiao, and since they came out together, they should go back together.
Before Zhou Ling'er could finish speaking, Zhou Yang covered her mouth with his hand, saying, "Ling'er, let's go with Sister Qiao Qiao. Wherever Sister Qiao Qiao goes, we'll go."
Shortly after Jiang Qiaoqiao left, the employee who went to report the incident returned with the police.
The arrival of the police finally brought the situation under control.
However, the story of Huo Beixiao, as the brother-in-law, stepping forward to save his sister-in-law in times of crisis also spread throughout the county.
After Jiang Qiaoqiao got home, she went about her business.
She acted as if the rumors outside had nothing to do with her.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, dinner's ready."
After Zhou Yang finished preparing lunch, he called over Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was taking inventory of the goods.
Jiang Qiaoqiao put the already counted goods aside, clapped her hands, and said, "They're here."
The three sat down at the table. Zhou Yang cautiously observed Jiang Qiaoqiao's expression, wanting to say something, but before he could speak...
Zhao Da Niang's voice came from outside, "Pah! Shameless vixen, always flirting with other women outside, serves her right that her man was stolen by her own sister!"
"I'll go tear that old woman's mouth apart!" Zhou Yang was furious when he heard this.
Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned. "Sit down and eat your food!"
Although Zhou Yang was unwilling, he obediently sat down.
Zheng Yulan's voice soon came from next door, "Go and call your mother back!"
Then, Wang Dacheng's gruff voice came from behind, "Mom, come back quickly, dinner is ready."
As things quieted down outside, Jiang Qiaoqiao, Zhou Yang, and Zhou Ling'er finished their lunch in peace.
Seeing Jiang Qiaoqiao put down her chopsticks, Zhou Yang finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Sister Qiaoqiao, Huo Beixiao has really gone too far this time! If you don't want him anymore, divorce him, and I'll take care of you from now on!"
"Qiao Qiao..." Zhou Yang had barely finished speaking when Huo Beixiao appeared at the door, covered in sweat.
