Chapter 2161 Spend 20,000 Yuan with Me
"Leave the task of finding a wholesale flower dealer to me. Once I find one, we'll go together to purchase the goods." Gu Ning said.
"Okay," Jing Yunyao replied.
The flower market is very large and it took me a long time to walk around it. I also saw many transferred and vacant storefronts.
But! Most of the storefronts are relatively small, and Gu Ning is not satisfied.
There is a storefront area that meets Gu Ning's requirements, but it is located closer to the inside and not very conspicuous, so the flow of people is half that of the front part.
However, Gu Ning also believes in the saying "Good wine needs no bush". As long as the business is good and the reputation is spread, there is no need to worry about no one coming to visit.
So, Jing Yunyao and Miao Jingjing were not very satisfied at first, but after hearing what Gu Ning said, they accepted it.
So, Gu Ning immediately called the landlord to discuss the issue of renting the storefront.
Since it is a storefront for rent, there is naturally the owner’s phone number hanging outside the door.
They continued to stroll around until the owner of the house came.
However, during this trip, something went wrong.
A middle-aged man carrying a pot of Clivia was passing by Miao Jingjing when he suddenly bumped into her. Then she cried out, and the pot of flowers in his hand fell to the ground.
This accident immediately attracted a lot of people's attention, but Miao Jingjing was confused and didn't understand why this man bumped into her.
Miao Jingjing had never encountered such a thing as a scam, so she didn't know that she was being scammed.
Yes, Miao Jingjing was scammed.
Although there were many people in the flower market and the road was a little crowded, they didn't bump into each other. Moreover, there was plenty of space next to Miao Jingjing for the man to walk, but the man chose to walk past Miao Jingjing and even bumped into her on purpose.
Before Miao Jingjing's friends could react, the man attacked her first: "Don't you look at the road when you walk? You knocked down my swamp Clivia, you have to compensate me."
"What do you mean I wasn't looking at the road when I was walking? It was obviously you who wasn't looking at the road when I was walking. The road next to me was so wide, but you just walked towards me. And it was obviously you who bumped into me, and I haven't said anything to you yet! You're the first to complain." Although Miao Jingjing didn't know that she was being scammed, it was obviously the man who bumped into her, so she was naturally annoyed when she was wrongly accused of hitting him and was asked to pay compensation.
Do you really think Miao Jingjing is easy to bully?
No, Miao Jingjing is not someone who is easy to bully, and she is not easy to bully at all.
The onlookers and passers-by around didn't know who hit whom, nor did they know it was just a scam.
But the owners and employees of the flower shops around here clearly know that this is a fraud. And this has happened more than once or twice, so they are no longer surprised.
However, even though they knew that this was a scam, they had no intention of stepping forward to help, because the person who was scamming was just a gangster with many brothers under him, so they were afraid of offending these people and then being retaliated against.
The man ignored Miao Jingjing's rebuttal and continued to refute confidently, "You are talking nonsense. It was you who hit me and knocked down my 30,000 yuan worth of swamp clivia, so you have to pay for it."
"You said she hit you, and she said you hit her. We don't know who to believe. Why don't we call the police? Then let the police investigate the surveillance footage and we'll know who hit whom at a glance." Gu Ning spoke up.
Gu Ning saw the man bumping into Miao Jingjing, but was too late to stop him.
She originally thought that it was the man's carelessness, but as soon as the man opened his mouth, she knew it was a scam.
Not only Gu Ning knew, Jing Yunyao also knew. Although she didn't say anything for the time being, the look she gave the man was unfriendly.
When the man heard the police call, he didn't show any fear. Instead, he laughed sarcastically and said, "The result will be the same if you call the police. So you should be more sensible and just pay the money! This pot of Clivia miniata is worth 30,000 yuan. I'm not unreasonable. Just give me 20,000 yuan."
The result would be the same if they called the police? This obviously told them that the police would stand on his side, so even if the police came, they would still have to pay compensation.
It seems that he didn't know that this was a scammer, but after hearing this, he knew it.
However, this man was clearly a scammer, but he still said that he was not an unreasonable person. He was truly shameless.
Yes, if he wasn't shameless, how could he do such a thing as scamming someone?
However, even though everyone knew that this man was a scammer, no one stood up for Gu Ning and the others, because they also heard this man say that calling the police was useless, and it was obvious that he had a relationship with the police.
Therefore, if they showed up, not only would they be unable to help, but they would also get themselves into trouble!
"The result will be the same if I call the police? You mean, no matter who hits whom, we will still be the ones to pay the money in the end?" Gu Ning asked. She was not angry, because even so, she was not worried.
"That's right," the man replied, looking very proud, because he had done this scam many times and had never failed.
"It turns out that the police have colluded with you to commit fraud!" Gu Ning sighed helplessly. Although she knew very well that there were scumbags everywhere, it would still be disheartening to meet one.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by being in cahoots with each other? Don't slander others. And who committed fraud? It was obviously her who knocked it down." Upon hearing what Gu Ning said, the man immediately shouted angrily. Although this was the fact, it would be a different matter if he said it out loud. It would cause trouble.
"We are not fools. You all know what I said. Don't think we are easy to bully." Gu Ning looked at the man with undisguised sarcasm on his face and released some fierce aura.
"······" The man was a little surprised by Gu Ning's temperament, so he was a little wary of Gu Ning in his heart, worried that they were important people, and if he continued to blackmail them, he was afraid that he would hit a wall.
However, it is also possible that the other party was just putting on an act to scare him.
Thinking this way, the man felt that this might be the case, so he made up his mind and regained his toughness: "Humph! Stop scaring me, pay me 20,000 yuan, or you can't leave."
Gu Ning looked at the swamp Clivia that was thrown to the ground and said, "The roots of this pot of swamp Clivia have rotted and it won't live long, so it's not worth anything at all. So you're asking us for 30,000. Isn't this extortion?"
