This foreign trade department store has clearly raised the standard of the entire street by a whole new level.
Xiao Wang was leaning over a glass case, staring at the dazzling jewelry inside.
"This is called a diamond ring, diamond... Jin Shu, do you know what that is?"
Jin Shu looked down and saw that the dazzling stone in front of her was transparent and hard, and it seemed to be the large piece of raw stone that she had once found in a cave.
Is this thing really that valuable? Such a tiny thing costs over ten thousand yuan; it's like a mini Santana.
This shopping mall is less of a place to sell goods and more of a museum to most people.
In this era when the market economy was just beginning, everything here offered a glimpse into the prosperity and progress of foreign countries.
Since then, Xiao Wang would come here to stroll around after work.
As usual, she planned to lock up and leave after work, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw three men in uniforms standing at the store entrance with serious expressions.
"We have received a report that your store is selling counterfeit wool products. Please open the door and cooperate with the investigation."
Xiao Wang had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that she stood frozen in place, but she quickly calmed down and opened the door.
"Okay, I'll cooperate."
Fake wool? What fake wool?
Xiao Wang was completely bewildered, but she knew the situation was serious, and all she could do was cooperate.
Several inspectors walked directly into the shop.
"Take all the wool clothing from your store."
Xiao Wang took out the clothes and spread them out in front of them, then asked cautiously.
"Comrade, is there some misunderstanding? All the wool products here are made of genuine wool. The boss bought them at a high price, so there can't be any fakes."
"We'll know whether it's fake or not once we take it for inspection. In the meantime, your shop will be closed. We'll let you know when to reopen once the results are in and there are no problems."
"Huh? Close the door?"
Xiao Wang's face turned pale with fright.
How much money does this factory lose every day?!
Jin Shu wasn't there, so she couldn't handle the situation at all. She glanced helplessly outside and saw several high school students from a nearby school curiously peeking inside.
One of them looked familiar.
"Jin Yin..."
Xiao Wang was quick-witted and immediately thought of the wool products Jin Yin had recently bought at the store.
"Jin Yin!"
Xiao Wang called out to her, his voice sounding a little nervous, but he was still trying to control his emotions.
"Where is Jin Shu? When will Jin Shu be back?"
"How should I know? What's wrong with your shop? Is there some kind of problem?"
The other girls were also whispering among themselves.
Xiao Wang glared at Jin Yin, suppressing his anger.
"Don't you know what's wrong with our store?"
"How would I know? If your store's products are problematic and get investigated, that's your own problem. Where's your boss? Are you, a clothing seller, being sent to take the blame?"
Xiao Wang was breathing rapidly. She was already flustered, and now, facing Jin Yin, she couldn't think straight and could only listen to her talking.
"I advise you to go back now. Making a living here isn't that easy. Do you think there's such a thing as a free lunch? You're just a high school graduate, how can you easily earn over a hundred a month?"
This shop has serious problems; it's only a matter of time before something bad happens. In serious cases, jail would be the least of their worries; they might even... be executed.
Xiao Wang shuddered.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.
But she trusted Jin Shu, so she forced herself to calm down, but before she could say anything, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Jin Yin sighed helplessly, and was about to say something when a cool voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Do you know what crime you commit by making a false police report and framing someone?"
Jin Yin shuddered and immediately turned around.
Jin Shu was standing behind him, her gaze cold and ruthless.
"Jin Shu? You're here too? You and Xiao Wang are on good terms, but that makes sense, since you're from the same hometown, you should stick together for warmth."
However, I advise you not to speak carelessly, lest you add fuel to the fire.
When Xiao Wang saw Jin Shu, it was like seeing a savior; his eyes lit up and he shouted joyfully.
"You've finally arrived! I had just closed the shop when they said they received a report that the store was selling fake wool!"
With Jin Shu by his side, Xiao Wang felt more confident and spoke with much more conviction.
Jin Yin watched from the side and wanted to laugh.
Even if you're desperate and grasping at straws, this isn't the way to do it. How could a mere Jin Shu possibly be of any help?
Instead of going to Jin Shu, it's better to ask her for help.
"You'd better call your boss over, or you might end up taking the blame and going to jail."
Xiao Wang finally couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Jin Shu's arm, turned around, glared fiercely at Jin Yin, and shouted loudly.
"Are you blind? Our boss is standing right in front of you and you still can't recognize him?"
Jin Yin's smile immediately froze, her expression strange and complicated, as if she couldn't accept the fact for a while and was deeply shocked.
"She's your boss?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Did her becoming the boss upset you?"
Xiao Wang had long disliked Jin Yin, and now seeing her complicated expression, as if she had eaten shit, he felt even happier, and all his previous tension and fear disappeared.
Jin Yin immediately put on a smile again.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable, managing to open a shop here."
Jin Shu looked at her, her expression indifferent and her tone even more casual.
What skills are needed to open a shop here?
"..."
Jin Yin could no longer look Jin Shu in the eye; the composure and confidence in her eyes, even at this moment, still allowed her to arrogantly flaunt her superiority.
What makes her so special?
What gives a shopkeeper, a country bumpkin covered in the smell of money, the right to be arrogant and conceited in front of a local like her?
"Ha...you're amazing. No wonder you earn so much. You sell fake goods to cheat people in big cities."
Too bad, this isn't some backwater. People here have used good things before, and your cheap, low-quality counterfeit goods won't fool us.
The officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau will give us an explanation! And you have to refund us for all the clothes we bought from you!
Jin Shu watched her standing there indignantly, waited for her to finish speaking, then nodded and looked at the people gathered outside the door watching the commotion.
"Don't worry, if our store sells counterfeit goods, our store will definitely be shut down. When that happens, you can bring the clothes back and return them. I will refund you double the amount you paid."
Thank you all for your support. Please trust our reputation for honest business practices. We would like to ask you to be our witnesses in two days, proving that our Golden Crane International Clothing Store offers genuine products at fair prices!
After these words were spoken, the onlookers outside the door understood the situation.
It turns out it was just an inspection, not an investigation into selling counterfeit goods.
Next, Jin Shu cooperated with the investigation and closed the shop. The whole process was very quick, and more and more people came to watch.
A passerby asked curiously.
"What's going on? Why is this store closed?"
