The female customer was stunned, and Xiang Nanzhi didn't react either.
The money for the jade has already been paid, but the customization fee is still outstanding. Now the jade is broken and gone...
“What should I do? The child is ignorant. You have to give me another piece of jade; this one doesn’t count.”
She paid for the jade, but now she's saying it doesn't count. It's impossible for Xiang Nanzhi to give her another piece of such fine jade out of his own pocket.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you've already paid for this jade, so it's the jade you're looking for and there's no way to change it."
"What do you mean? The child is ignorant. Although I paid for it, I entrusted you with the jade work. You have the right to supervise this piece of jade. If you didn't manage it properly, then that's your problem!"
Xiang Nanzhi got into another argument with the female customer.
You don't know until you do business, and once you start, you realize how many troublesome troublemakers there are. Earning 200,000 yuan feels like it's going to kill you.
In the past, 200,000 yuan was just the price of a pair of shoes or a piece of clothing, and she never took it seriously.
Now we still have to compete with others.
Zhou Zilu and Zhang Man patiently explained to the other party, but they just wouldn't accept it. "What do you mean? You're being unreasonable, aren't you? You want my 200,000 yuan to be wasted?"
"How interesting, you don't agree? Fine..."
The female customer casually picked up a bracelet and asked, "Do you recognize it? Do you recognize it?"
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at her and said, "Madam, it's best not to joke about bracelets. They're very expensive."
"So what if it's expensive? I can afford a bracelet that costs 200,000. This is an antique market, the cheapest place for jade. Don't think I don't know that..."
Xiang Nanzhi wasn't joking; the bracelet really was quite expensive. She was heavily pregnant and too lazy to even stand up and speak. "Please put down the bracelet, and let's discuss this properly."
"I won't let go, so what? You're trying to renege on your debt? No way!"
"You guys are really something, ridiculous, arguing with a child. I didn't give my child the toy; I gave it to you and asked you to do it. You didn't keep it safe and my child got it. You can't deny it!"
The female customer excitedly slammed her hand on the table as she spoke.
"We have surveillance cameras here, ladies. Even if you call the police, they'll see everything clearly..."
The woman was originally hitting the table with her other hand, but because she was in such a hurry, she was furious when she heard there was a security camera. "You guys install security cameras in this lousy place? How much did they cost? What kind of cheap stuff is this...?"
With a thud, before she could even react, she slammed the hand holding the jade bracelet onto the table, shattering it into pieces...
Zhou Zilu and Zhang Man were both stunned.
Xiang Nanzhi slowly stood up. "I've already said it, the bracelet is very expensive."
The female customer sneered, "I can see that now. You're just trying to scam me. You're a rip-off, aren't you?"
"You must have evidence to support your claims."
"evidence?"
The female customer took a deep breath and said, "The surveillance camera is there, right? I'm not afraid. I'll call the police right now and let them see how corrupt your store is."
"Miss……"
Xiang Nanzhi was tired of arguing with the woman. "Tell her to call the police. I want to see how the police handle this."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't stop her, but the woman herself was getting a little nervous. "I'll wait for the police to come. I want to see if your jade is really worth that much money, and I want to see who dares to make me pay!"
When the police arrived, the woman started rambling on and on, but Xiang Nanzhi ignored her. Only after she finished speaking and the police asked her a question did she finally open her mouth.
"She paid for the jade, but not for the customization fee. I asked her to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan, but she felt that I was looking down on her. I was explaining to her that her child broke the jade, and she wanted to deny responsibility!"
"The child is ignorant, the child was careless. You are also pregnant, you are also going to be a mother, can't you understand?"
The woman's arrogance had diminished considerably, and she seemed to be the one who was unsympathetic.
Xiang Nanzhi maintained the same attitude from beginning to end without any change: "I am pregnant and I am going to be a mother, so I believe that adults must teach their children well, starting from a young age."
"If you didn't teach your child well, you should naturally take responsibility for the mistakes they make."
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at the police officer and said, "Officer, when we were arguing again about the broken jade, she took a bracelet from my shop and challenged me. I reminded her that the bracelet was very expensive and asked her to put it down and talk slowly, but she broke my bracelet."
After a few exchanges, the police had a pretty good idea of what was going on. The woman added, "She's trying to extort me, she's definitely trying to extort me."
"You broke someone's things, don't you have to pay for it?"
"You've already paid for the jade and the bracelet. The bracelet is worth 500,000. Please compensate me accordingly."
"You're trying to scam me! What kind of worthless bracelet could be worth 500,000?!"
"The rough stone you bought is worth 200,000. I've already agreed on the price with you. The finished product here will cost at least another 100,000 to 200,000. You should know the prices of the jewelry here."
"If you don't know, I already reminded you when you were holding the bracelet that it's very expensive!"
Xiang Nanzhi spoke calmly, each word distinct, leaving the woman speechless. The policeman added, "Then, as this lady says, you should compensate her for the damaged items at their original price."
This means I got nothing, wasted 200,000 yuan, and now I have to pay 500,000 yuan in compensation...
As soon as the police left, the woman was stunned. Zhou Zilu and Zhang Man stood at the door, afraid that the woman would run away.
This infuriated the woman. "Do you think I can't afford to pay for it?"
“No family in the ancient city can't afford several hundred thousand. I believe you are worthy of it, so please compensate me.”
Xiang Nanzhi held out his hand to the woman, "Five hundred thousand..."
The woman was also very anxious at this moment. Five hundred thousand yuan is a considerable expense for an ordinary family.
"I can accompany you, but could you use the stone my child broke before as compensation?"
"No, one thing at a time."
They were just mocking her for using cheap, low-quality goods, but now they've come to terms with reality and are feeling the pressure.
“The child didn’t do it on purpose. Even if you sue me, the child didn’t do it on purpose.”
"Whether she did it on purpose or not, I have indeed lost a piece of jade and a jade bracelet..."
There were so many gold and silver items, but she didn't take any. She only picked out jade. She had clearly tried to threaten her, but she lost control of her emotions and ended up losing more than she gained.
When the police arrived, they didn't help her, and the woman completely panicked.
Xiang Nanzhi remained expressionless. "Five hundred thousand. Give me the money and I'll let you go. No, you can't leave."
