The ladies who were with them all gasped in surprise, thinking to themselves that Feng Yu must have taken the wrong medicine today, being so aggressive towards someone who was buying clothes.
Despite Lu Wanqing's warning, Lin Chunhua's eyes were still very sore, and the corners of her eyes immediately turned red.
"Madam, I am very sorry for the harm I have caused you. I can accept any reasonable compensation you have asked for, but I am sorry that I cannot provide anything else."
"I am the store manager. I am solely responsible for this matter, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If you feel it's necessary, you can sue me."
Litigation is a new phenomenon, but it is not without precedent.
Lu Wanqing once told her that as long as she was in the right, she was not afraid of going to court.
On the contrary, those who are unreasonable and argumentative will naturally reconsider their actions when they hear that a lawsuit is going to be filed.
Sure enough, Feng Yu hesitated for a moment, then slapped Lin Chunhua and said:
"You bitch, you've got some nerve! You still have the nerve to mention going to court!"
"Today, I'll show you the consequences of offending me!"
As she spoke, ignoring her companions' advice, she began grabbing clothes hanging on the wall and throwing them on the ground.
Even after throwing it away, they didn't forget to stomp on it a couple of times.
Lin Chunhua looked at Feng Yu, who was acting like a madman, and tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to step forward to stop him, but she was afraid of escalating the conflict, so she could only stand there blankly.
The area outside the door was already packed with onlookers.
Some uninformed bystanders were cheering when they saw Feng Yu smashing her clothes:
"Something must have offended her! Otherwise, why would she be so angry!"
"The service staff these days have terrible attitudes; someone should have stepped in to fix them a long time ago."
......
Hearing these comments, Lin Chunhua was so angry she almost laughed. What kind of people were these? They didn't know anything and just made wild guesses.
"Don't misunderstand, my dress does have a defect. I promised to give her a free one, but she insisted that I kneel down and apologize. I have respect too, how could I be insulted like that by her!"
I disagree, but that's how she is, boohoo~
Lin Chunhua is no longer the innocent girl who was bullied before. If she wants to mislead public opinion, she can use public opinion to her advantage.
Upon hearing that Feng Yu had actually made a shop assistant kneel down and apologize, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
"How can you insult me like that, comrade?"
"She looks like a civilized person, but she does such a barbaric thing. She's just a shrew!"
Feng Yu had done this on purpose, but now that she heard everyone siding with Lin Chunhua, she was really upset. She was clearly in the right, so why was everyone taking Lin Chunhua's side?
Enraged, she grabbed Lin Chunhua's hair and tried to shove her to the ground.
"If you dare to incite everyone to make a scene, I'll beat you to death!"
Lin Chunhua did not fight back. She knew that things would be easier to resolve if things escalated to this point.
"stop!"
Just then, a man in his thirties wearing a gray jacket walked in.
"I'm from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, my surname is Meng. Which of you is the owner of this shop?" the man asked coldly, looking at the two people wrestling together.
Lin Chunhua shook off Feng Yu, tidied her messy hair, and smiled as she spoke:
"Comrade, I'm the store manager. I'm on my way to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to apply for a business license!"
Upon hearing that the shop didn't even have a business license, Feng Yu couldn't hide her laughter. She picked up the garment she had just seen, held it up, and said to Comrade Meng:
"Comrade, look at the clothes she sells in her shop! They scratched the back of my neck. We must make her close down!"
Meng Hui glanced at her sideways, his hand brushing against the back of her neck, and sneered:
"You smashed up the shop because of this?"
He heard that a new shop had opened here, but it didn't have a license yet, so he came out to work. He could hear the noise from inside from a long distance away.
“Yes, she sells these kinds of clothes, and I’m doing a public service!” Feng Yu said proudly.
She felt that reason was completely on her side. She didn't know what the store had to do with Lu Wanqing, but the store was going to go out of business today!
Meng Hui twitched the corner of his mouth and said seriously:
"Comrade, the injury you mentioned will probably heal itself if you don't go to the hospital soon."
No matter what, you shouldn't have vandalized the shop; that's illegal. As for the claim of "eliminating a menace to the people," that's even less tenable. We're encouraging individual business ownership now; as long as she obtains her business license within a month and pays her taxes on time, we have no reason to close the shop.”
"What? We can't close the store? So this matter is just going to be over?" Feng Yu shouted, glaring.
Lin Chunhua snatched the clothes from her hands and said irritably:
"Of course it won't end like this. You deliberately damaged this garment, didn't you? And you've ruined so many other clothes in the store; you need to pay for them!"
Comrade Meng, I'll need your witness again!
Lin Chunhua didn't look closely at first, but after Feng Yu's commotion, she became even more convinced that Feng Yu had torn the brand label off the clothes herself.
Feng Yu was dumbfounded. The turn of events came a bit too fast. She looked at Meng Hui in disbelief: "You're not really going to testify for this bitch, are you? I'm not going to pay for it."
Meng Hui said seriously, "If the police come, I will tell them what I saw."
Feng Yu was devastated. Why did they have to call the police?!
She was trembling all over, looking at the crowd of onlookers at the door, not knowing what to do next.
This is not the outcome she envisioned!
Shouldn't Lin Chunhua be kneeling on the ground begging for her forgiveness?
The world has changed, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!
She couldn't beat Lu Wanqing, but she never expected that she couldn't even beat a clothing store clerk!
Several of the women who were with her quickly gathered around and whispered their suggestions in her ear:
"Mrs. Feng, you'd better pay up quickly. This is getting out of hand, and we'll really have to call the police."
"Yeah, why were you so impulsive today! Sisters, let's quickly pool our money and settle this matter as soon as possible!"
As they talked, the group emptied their pockets of all their money, some giving fifty, others a hundred, until they had scraped together five hundred yuan, which they shakily handed to Lin Chunhua.
"Comrade, we shouldn't have smashed the shop. Here's the money as compensation. Please be magnanimous and don't call the police. Let us go!"
Lin Chunhua took the money, her face grim and she remained silent.
She didn't want to report it to the police, but she was forced to.
Seeing that Lin Chunhua had taken the money without saying a word, the women grabbed Feng Yu and quickly pushed through the crowd, fleeing as if they were escaping.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Chunhua calmed herself down and spoke to Meng Hui:
"Comrade, thank you."
"It's alright, I won't come. I trust you can handle it. Running a shop isn't easy, and you're bound to encounter similar situations in the future. You have to trust that the police will handle it impartially."
Meng Hui agreed with her idea of reporting it to the police.
"However, you need to get the business license for the store as soon as possible, otherwise I'll really have to fine you," Meng Hui said with a smile.
Lin Chunhua hurriedly made a guarantee:
"I will definitely get it done as soon as possible."
Meng Hui then wrote the address and instructions on a piece of paper and handed it to her.
The moment their fingers touched, their bodies trembled as if an electric current had flowed through them.
