Chapter 228: The Truth (Two Chapters in One)
Chen Jintao dared to say this because she had a good idea of what her family's store was like.
Not to say there is no dust at all, but there is absolutely no possibility of cockroaches.
The woman's face looked a little unhappy. As soon as she saw the boss's expression, she knew that this matter would definitely not work out today. Not to mention getting a free meal, it was even a question whether she could leave the store safely.
"Ah, this might be a misunderstanding. Maybe the cockroach followed me into the store. Let's just forget about it. I'll pay the money I'm owed."
When this woman's attitude softened, Shen Jintao actually felt relieved.
Although they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, it would still be a bit troublesome and would affect their business. The fact that this woman took the initiative to say this actually showed that she was feeling guilty.
There is nothing much to say in this case. As soon as other people saw this situation, they knew what was going on. It was probably that the other restaurants couldn't stand this store's booming business, so they wanted to sabotage it, but they ended up losing more than they gained.
If this woman's attitude remains tough and she insists that the cockroach is from the store, even if she can finally prove that there is no problem with the hygiene of her store, she still cannot clearly explain what the cockroach is. It will definitely have some impact on the noise in the store, but will it affect the psychological quality of this woman?
"Well, since you said that, I believe it was indeed a misunderstanding. I just hope that next time you come to our restaurant, don't accidentally bring in things like this. This will indeed affect other people's meals. In addition, this incident has also caused me some losses, and you still need to bear these losses."
Chen Jintao planned to teach this woman a lesson, also to serve as a warning to others. If this matter is really handled lightly, anyone can come to the store to cause trouble in the future.
"Why should I bear the responsibility? I don't care about it anymore. Why do you still want me to bear all this?" The woman immediately didn't dare to do it. She didn't charge much money in the first place, but came here to cause trouble. As a result, she was exposed so quickly and had to bear such a huge loss.
Although it is not known how much money was lost exactly, one can tell how good the business is by looking at the large number of customers in the store. Moreover, each customer's meal is discounted by 30%. This money is definitely not the big hole that Zhu Xiuyun made for herself.
"Comrade, you may have misunderstood me. What I meant is that if you admit that you brought this thing in, then you will need to bear our losses. But if you don't admit it, we will definitely continue to contact the police. The police will definitely investigate it thoroughly. You may not know that a DNA identification technology has been developed in the past two years. Anyone who has touched these things can be found. If this was accidentally brought into our store, it must have come into contact with any one of us, but what if it didn't?"
In fact, what Chen Jintao said was pure nonsense. She just wanted to scare the woman in front of her and make her tell the truth quickly.
The woman was indeed frightened. "This... when did such technology come about? How come I didn't know about it?"
Old Li's eyes rolled. "To be honest, my son works in the Public Security Bureau. He told me about this technology when he came back. Although it is time-consuming and laborious, it can be found by checking people."
The woman was frightened at once. She and Zhu Qiaoyun had an ordinary relationship to begin with. How could she harm herself for such an insignificant person?
"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. I was blinded by the benefits of others. I will never dare to do it again. I will give you the meal money now, okay? Please don't bother with me. This money is a small amount for you, but it is a huge expense for my family. You can't even sell me for that much money!"
"What were you doing?" Liu Guifen finally understood that someone was trying to harm her family's wife. "You said this money is a huge expense for your family. Did our family get the money from the wind?"
"What my mother said is not wrong. Since we were wronged and you have admitted it yourself, this is an unexpected disaster for me. Why should I bear such a loss? Do I look like a despicable person?" Shen Jintao sneered.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just really can't come up with that much money. I can't do anything even if you force me!"
"Isn't this matter easy to handle? Just go find whoever asked you to come here. Otherwise, you can take it to the Public Security Bureau, which will be embarrassing for everyone, right?" Chen Jintao suddenly smiled gently.
Such a smile makes people feel their body tremble.
"It's Xie Guangyuan!"
"Xie Guangyuan told me to do this. It was his wife who found me and told me to do this. It must have been Xie Guangyuan's idea."
"Who is Xie Guangyuan?" Shen Jintao asked.
"It's the director of the state-owned restaurant. He must have seen that your business has been good, but the state-owned restaurant has no business, so he came up with such a dirty trick, in order to make your business have no business at all. I was also deceived by them. If you have any questions, just go to him, don't come to me!"
Chen Jintao really wanted to laugh. She didn't know what the other party was thinking. He actually found such a fool. If he had found a smarter person, he wouldn't have been exposed so completely.
"Director of the state-owned hotel?"
"Yes, yes, that's him!"
After a little thought, Shen Jintao knew why the other party did this. Now that she knew who was behind it, she had nothing to worry about. Moreover, people with a stable job were actually the most afraid of making mistakes.
So many people heard it today, the other party can’t deny it even if they want to.
"Now that I've told you everything, can I leave?"
The woman still wanted to leave quickly, as she felt something bad would happen if she stayed here any longer.
"Of course not. Since you are doing this behind the scenes, you must tell the police."
In fact, although Liu Guifen had not left the scene, other waiters had already reported to the police. Coincidentally, everything the woman said just now was heard clearly by the police.
The police officers felt like the sky was falling. They all knew Shen Jintao's background. She was the wife of the regiment commander. Although she was a self-employed person outside, the regiment commander asked them to help look after this place. It was obvious that he cared about his wife very much. Now, there were people causing trouble every few days. Last time, they were molested by gangsters, and now someone came to cause trouble again. There was really no time for peace. What on earth were these people thinking? They probably don't even know how big a mess they've made.
"We've taken Sister-in-law away. Don't worry, we'll handle this matter as quickly as possible and give you a satisfactory result! As for Xie Guangyuan, we'll arrest him immediately!"
Shen Jintao nodded, very satisfied with the efficiency of the police.
She had just thought about it carefully in her mind. She had indeed never offended the director of the state-owned restaurant. It was really infuriating that they did such a thing just because their own restaurant's business was better and they might be at risk of being laid off.
Old Li smiled and said, "I knew your family was an honest business, so how could there be any hygiene issues? Everyone has heard it, right? This is not Boss Shen's business, so don't talk about it when you go out!"
He said this very loudly, mainly for others to hear, to tell everyone to get out and not spread the news.
Although everyone here knows the truth of the matter, sometimes rumors can be very hurtful. They spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. As time goes by, they may change their meaning. Who knows if someone will confuse right and wrong?
"Lao Li, what are you talking about? Are we that kind of people? Not only will we not go out and talk nonsense, we will also tell everyone everything that happened today. Boss Shen has been greatly wronged this time!"
"That's right, I didn't expect that those people in the state-owned restaurant who usually look so high and mighty could actually do such a thing!"
"It's not a big deal. I still don't understand why they do this."
"Then you are brainless. Don't you see how many people have been laid off? You are still trying to make Mr. Shen's business better and better, which will force them to be laid off!"
"I shouldn't say this. Our country is good in everything, but this state-owned restaurant should really be closed down sooner rather than later. Every time I go there to eat, I have to flatter myself. The waiters all look down on me. If there was no other place to eat before, I would never go there."
"It's not that bad..."
Everyone started talking at once.
Especially when someone mentioned the service attitude problem of state-owned restaurants at the end, it resonated with almost everyone.
Everyone is condemning the state-owned restaurants for being inhumane.
After Liu Guifen experienced this, she kept sighing, and Shen Jintao felt a little strange, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Well, I just think it's not easy for you. When you do business, you'll run into this and that every now and then."
Liu Guifen was really heartbroken.
"Isn't this normal? It's nothing. No business is ever smooth sailing. Besides, it's a good thing that it was the woman who did it. If it was someone smarter, we wouldn't be able to solve this problem so easily. Even if they didn't come today, there would definitely be others who would come in the future. I have to say that they helped us. After this incident, other people won't be so easily led by them when similar things happen in the future."
Seeing that her mother-in-law was in a really bad mood, Shen Jintao hurried to comfort her.
Don't mention it, what Shen Jintao said really makes sense.
"That's true! If I were one of the customers today, I would definitely not trust them easily if I encountered such a thing again!"
"Right, so there's nothing to be angry about!"
Huo Nanxi knew that something had happened outside, but she had been busy in the kitchen and had no idea of the details. Only after she finished her work and came out did she understand what had happened. She couldn't help but slammed the table hard, and then she jumped up and down with a grin on her face in pain.
Chen Jintao: ...
Liu Guifen: …
"How could they do this? Sister-in-law, let's go over and ask them what they are thinking!"
"No need to go to the police to find out how to deal with it." Chen Jintao didn't want to go there.
She knew her sister-in-law's temper quite well. If she had known this over there, she would definitely be furious and might even have started a fight with her.
"But we can't bear this kind of injustice in vain. Why don't we tell my brother? He will definitely find a way to deal with them!"
Shen Jintao laughed.
"We will face various problems in the future. We can't just go to your brother whenever we have time. Your brother is not here to deal with such trivial matters for us. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? You are also an educated person, you should understand this principle, right?"
Huo Nanxi just felt very aggrieved, but she also felt that what her sister-in-law said made a lot of sense.
Huo Nanxi used to have a bad temper, otherwise she wouldn't have given people such a cold shoulder when Shen Jintao just married Huo Beichuan.
"Okay, let's put this aside for now, but I also want to tell you that this matter has already sounded a warning bell in your hearts. You just saw how I handled it. As long as we have a clear conscience, we should not be afraid. We must be confident enough to refute it, otherwise others will think you are guilty."
The others nodded quickly.
The result of the matter was quickly resolved, and Xie Guangyuan was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that the man his wife had contacted would be so stupid and now he was in trouble.
That’s good now. There is no need to worry at all about the state-owned restaurant not being able to continue operating, because no matter whether the restaurant can continue to operate or not, his job is completely gone anyway.
Not only will you lose your money, but you will also face punishment.
This includes but is not limited to the various penalties imposed on him as mentioned above and the need to pay compensation for the losses incurred by the victim unit, which would be an extremely large sum of money.
This kind of thing is not a big deal after all. Xie Guangyuan certainly cannot be arrested directly, but the loss caused to Shen Jintao is irreversible. She has already lost a large sum of money that day, and someone has to fill this hole.
This amount of money is actually not a lot, but for working people, it is still an astronomical figure. After the discount, he lost nearly three hundred yuan on the same day. Xie Guangyuan had to work for a long time to earn so much money.
