Chapter 228: Background Cannon Fodder Who Died an Unexpected Death (8)
"Boss Lin, why do we have to work overtime?" Assistant Wen asked in confusion. They had clearly completed today's work before leaving get off work, so there was no need to work overtime.
"There's trouble at the Chengbei flagship store. We have to go there to deal with it." Lin Shichu told him.
"What? Someone is causing trouble?" Assistant Wen was immediately angry. "Why did they choose to cause trouble after get off work? They don't want us to have an easy life, right?"
"They picked the time after get off work, probably because they thought that all the employees in the company would be off work, and their troubles would last longer." Lin Shichu also hated working overtime.
When they arrived at the Chengbei Home Flagship Store, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the store. They could even hear their daughter's shrill shouting, turning a stylish and elegant furniture store into a noisy vegetable market.
Xiao Li, an employee of the store, was waiting anxiously outside the door. When he saw Lin Shichu, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran up to Lin Shichu and said, "Boss Lin, you're finally here! These people have been making a fuss for a long time. The manager has been persuading them to go into the office to resolve the issue, but they just don't want to. They insist on making a big fuss in the middle of the store..."
Lin Shichu nodded, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw several middle-aged men and women surrounding the sweaty manager and cursing at him.
"Boss Lin! You're finally here!" When the manager saw Lin Shichu, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a life-saving straw. For some reason, although Boss Lin was very young, he just felt that she could handle the problem.
"What Mr. Lin? Are you the owner of this store? Great, now you're finally here! The bedside table I bought from your store has lost its paint after less than a month of use! How dare you, black-hearted female merchants, sell such junk?! If you don't give me an explanation, I will never let you go..." A middle-aged woman with short yellow curly hair said to Lin Shichu with her hands on her hips.
"And mine! The sheets I bought from you faded after just a few washes. They're all mottled, just like the ones I picked up from the garbage dump! You guys sell them for such a high price, you must have evil hearts, right? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Another woman wearing glasses also squeezed forward and said to Lin Shichu angrily.
The remaining few people also talked about how bad the quality of the goods they bought here was and called this store a black shop. They spoke eloquently and loudly, and explained things clearly. Even though they appeared angry, they could not hide the consistency of their actions.
The manager probably didn't react, which is why he was so anxious.
"Are you sure these products were bought in our store? Have you brought evidence such as receipts and invoices?" Lin Shichu asked expressionlessly, appearing remarkably calm among a group of angry people.
The troublemakers became even angrier when they saw her like this. The woman with yellow curly hair pointed her finger at Lin Shichu and cursed, "What do you mean? You dare not admit it, and you are busy trying to pass the buck when something goes wrong with the things sold in your store?!"
"If you didn't have these evidences, then I could indeed think that you were deliberately using inferior counterfeit goods to blackmail our store." Lin Shichu glanced at them indifferently.
The woman with glasses immediately took out a few bills from her bag: "I have brought all the evidence! Now let's see how you can deny it!"
"That's right! If you dare to deny it, I will find reporters to expose your black shop! Let's see who dares to buy things here..." Another person also threatened.
Lin Shichu took the receipt from the woman, looked at it carefully, and handed it to the store manager: "Can you see if these receipts are from our store?"
The manager looked at it carefully, sweat oozing from his forehead, his face looked very ugly, and he replied in a low voice: "It's from our store..."
"Look! Your manager said it's true. Let's see how you can argue!" The woman with glasses became even more arrogant when she heard the manager's words.
Lin Shichu also thought that the receipt should be real. After all, the person who wanted to cause trouble behind the scenes could get the receipt after buying goods in the store. However, the receipt might be real, but the goods might not be.
Lin Shichu still has great confidence in the ethics of his company. When Lin's father and Lin Shiyu were in power, they both paid great attention to the quality of goods. It is impossible for them to do such short-sighted and unethical things as selling inferior products as good ones and deceiving consumers.
During the months when the Lin family encountered trouble and the original owner was in power, it was indeed possible that he was fooled by the people below due to negligence and did things that were inferior to good ones. However, as soon as Shi Chuyi traveled through time, he quickly rectified the work style and discipline of the company's employees, strictly controlled the quality of products, and eliminated hidden dangers.
Lin Shichu bent down to check the bedside table with peeling paint that the yellow curly-haired woman mentioned. The appearance of this bedside table was exactly the same as the one sold in the store, except for a few corners that looked particularly mottled and ugly due to the peeling paint.
"How are you still trying to argue? I obviously bought this from your store! You can't tell the difference even if you look at it again..." The woman with yellow curly hair saw Lin Shichu's actions and thought she was looking for trouble. She was not worried at all that she would be able to see through her flaws. The person who had asked her to cause trouble said that this bedside table was definitely a one-to-one copy of their store, except that the wood inside was replaced with inferior quality ones.
Lin Shichu ignored her. She turned the bedside table upside down, looked at the bottom of the four corner columns, took out her nail clippers, and gently scraped it. She immediately smiled and said, "This bedside table is definitely not a product of our store. Assistant Wen, call the police! Someone is coming to our store to blackmail us."
"Impossible!" the woman with yellow curly hair immediately retorted, her face flushed red, "You dare to call the police! Let's see who the police will help when they come!" She spoke very loudly, but Lin Shichu could see through her cowardice.
“In order to prevent counterfeiting, the products in our store are all marked with anti-counterfeiting labels. The anti-counterfeiting label of each product is hidden very carefully in a different location. Only internal employees know where the label is, just to protect us from villains. You don’t think that the products in our store simply have the brand logo printed on the surface as an anti-counterfeiting label, do you?” Lin Shichu said with a smile, glancing at the troublemakers one by one.
Sure enough, when they heard her words, their faces changed. It was obvious that they didn't know this and were shocked, but they still had to pretend to be calm.
Several of them began to quietly step back, trying to find a way to retreat.
"Assistant Wen, why are you still standing there? Call quickly!" Lin Shichu ignored her and just reminded Assistant Wen.
"I'll call right away!" Assistant Wen indeed called the police.
"Manager, ask the employees to arrest these people and don't let them escape during the chaos." Lin Shichu lowered his voice and spoke to the store manager.
The manager became alert at this time, and quickly surrounded the troublemakers with several store employees.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing this, the few people asked in a bluffing manner.
