Chapter 260 How can I compensate you according to the selling price? I can’t afford it!
I really didn't expect there was a thief in the store!
These two people were not new employees she hired. They had only been working there for two years. They had basically started working there not long after the store opened. So she had not thought that the gradual decline in the store's business was caused by them!
If she hadn't been more careful this time and gone to the next door first and then pretended to be a stranger coming into the store, she might have been fooled by them again!
"No, I don't know, Boss. We didn't do anything, really!"
"Yes, yes, boss, let's look for it again. Maybe we made a mistake just now. The clothes won't be missing!"
Both of them looked flustered, but also very confident. How could more than a hundred pieces of clothing be missing?
"I just counted them clearly. There is no way I could have made a mistake. I checked every part. If there were three or five missing, it could still be considered an error. One hundred and eighty-six pieces, and you're telling me I counted them wrong?"
"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Where are my clothes? Take them out for me! What you are doing is called stealing. I have the right to sue you!"
"I saw that your work attitude was so negative, so I thought I could just let you go and give you this month's salary, but I didn't expect you to secretly steal so many clothes from me. What? Did I open the store to make money for you? I just made a loss?"
"It really is a rat that has fallen into the granary. With you guys doing this, I have to wonder if there is something wrong with the previous accounts!"
Xia Xian was furious and no longer had any patience for them.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have given you a chance. Let's go directly to the Public Security Bureau. If you have anything to say, just tell the police there! I'll sentence you as you should!"
Today, Xia Xian was determined to get to the bottom of this matter. She would never accept being fooled like this, especially being betrayed by someone she trusted!
"No, no, no! Boss, I know I was wrong. We really know we were wrong. Please let us go!"
"I confessed everything. I did take about 100 pieces of clothing, but I really don't know where the remaining 80 pieces went! I really didn't take them. Boss, please let me go this time. I promise to work hard in the future and never be lazy again!"
"If you don't want me to stay here, you can fire me. I have no objection. I don't want this month's salary either. I just ask you not to take me to the Public Security Bureau, okay?"
Qian Huixin cried and begged for mercy. She knelt down in front of Xia Xian. She was afraid now. Why didn't she feel afraid when she did the bad thing? !
She admitted it all. Wei Dongling couldn't bear it any longer. She knelt down in front of Xia Xian with a sad face and said shamefully.
"I took it. I'm sorry, boss. But I didn't take as much as she did. I took more than ten pieces less than she did! And I didn't dare to do it at first. I saw her stealing clothes from the store, so I did the same thing. She led me astray. I won't dare to do it again. Boss, please let me go this time!"
"I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to the police station, as long as you are willing to let me go, I don't want any salary, I am willing to stay here and work for you forever!"
"What do you mean? What do you mean I led you astray? You obviously wanted to take it yourself. Don't try to put the blame on me. I didn't even know you took it! I was just momentarily obsessed, but you found out but didn't tell me. If you had reminded me, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake!"
Qian Huixin retorted unconvincedly, and the two of them cried and wailed, blaming each other.
The two of them were almost in a fight, and the noise made Xia Xian's ears hurt. Now the matter was very clear. The clothes in the store were stolen by them, and they had to pay compensation for it.
"Where did you take the clothes? If they are gone, you should pay me back. Neither of you can get away. Stop blaming each other!"
Xia Xian sneered, and became more determined to make them pay the price, otherwise they would really think that she was kind and easy to bully.
“All, all sold…”
The two of them hesitated and did not dare to answer.
"Where did you sell it to?"
Xia Xian continued to ask, with so many clothes, did they sell them themselves, or did they sell them to someone else?
Thinking about the fact that there are many clothes of the same style in their store next door, could it be...
"Sold to... Sorry, boss, I'll compensate you!"
Neither of them dared to say anything and just kept asking for compensation.
He feels so guilty, there must be something fishy going on, but the most urgent thing now is to get the money back.
Xia Xian knew what was important and what was not, so she simply nodded.
"Okay, then you guys have to compensate me. I don't want much. Just compensate me according to the selling price of our store. Qian Huixin will be compensated for 100 pieces, Wei Dongling will be compensated for 90 pieces. A total of 58 dresses are gone, and 36..."
Xia Xian calculated the money one by one. Anyway, she lost about 6,000 yuan. Qian Huixin had to compensate her 3,200 yuan and Wei Dongling had to compensate her 2,800 yuan.
Xia Xian was good at math and quickly calculated the money they needed to pay. Qian Huixin and Wei Dongling were stunned when they heard it. They were like a block of wood and it took them a long time to react. They asked in disbelief.
"How can there be so much? Where can we get so much money? You are deliberately trying to trick us! We didn't even sell that much!!!"
They only sold it for about 1,000 yuan, but now they have to pay double or triple! It's totally unreasonable, and the two of them are going crazy!
"Heh, my clothes can be sold at these prices when they are put on sale in the store. You didn't get that much money, so you must have stolen my clothes and sold them at a low price!"
"I don't care how much you sold, but I just want this money, not a cent less! These two or three thousand is enough to file a case. If you don't pay the money back, you will be in jail for the rest of your life. You are still young, do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"
"If you pay me the money in time, you can reduce the punishment a little."
Xia Xian said calmly. Seeing the two people's mentality collapse, she calmed down. She didn't do anything wrong, why should she be angry? Why should she use other people's mistakes to punish herself?
"But we didn't sell that much, how can we possibly have a few thousand dollars to compensate you! Boss, please let us go, please show some leniency! I still have 1,000 yuan, I'll go home and give it all to you!"
"Me too. I'll go home and return the rest of the money to you. Boss, please don't force us! And your purchase price must be cheap. It's wrong for us to steal the clothes, but how can you let us compensate according to the selling price? You must compensate according to the purchase price, otherwise how can we afford it? You are so rich, you can't afford our money, right?"
The two men begged for mercy while blaming Xia Xian for being ruthless. They almost said that she was taking the opportunity to cheat them, but who asked her to steal other people's things?
Since you are in the wrong, just bear with it.
"No, why should I make you pay me the purchase price? Doesn't it take me time and money to buy the goods? The cost is so high, who would be willing to sell at the purchase price?"
"Anyway, I don't want to. I'm not a Bodhisattva. I don't care how much you sell my clothes for. Anyway, one of you has to give me 3,200 and the other has to give me 2,800. Not a penny less!"
