Because the boss spoke in the Guangdong dialect, Lin Zishan didn't understand. She and Jiang Qingzhou looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although I didn't understand what the boss was saying, I knew from her expression that she definitely didn't say anything nice.
Zhang Pingping and Chu Jingqiu were different. They both had lived in Guangdong for a period of time in their previous lives, so they could understand the boss's dialect.
Especially Chu Jingqiu, she is not only proficient in Cantonese, but also skilled in several foreign languages.
Of course she understood what the boss said, but she didn't express her opinion immediately. Instead, she pretended to know nothing and wandered around the surrounding stalls.
Zhang Pingping looked at the confused expressions of Lin Zishan and Jiang Qingzhou. She spread her hands and explained softly, "The boss said that you have to buy this dress after trying it on. You can't leave without buying it!"
Lin Zishan was furious. She looked at the female boss angrily and retorted, "How can you do business like this? This is simply forced buying and selling!"
When we tried them on, you agreed to it. If you had told us in advance that there was such a condition, we would never have tried your clothes."
"You guys are such a nuisance." The proprietress waved her hand impatiently and said in broken Mandarin, "This is the rule here. If you try it, you have to buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't try it. Pay up and leave quickly. Don't delay my business."
Although Jiang Qingzhou was very angry, he still said in a friendly manner: "Boss, your business should rely on the quality of clothes and good service attitude to attract customers. How can your business last long if you force customers to buy and sell like this?
If we could wear this dress, we would definitely buy it. If you ask us to buy it and we can't wear it, isn't that a waste? Don't you think so? "
The female boss glared at Jiang Qingzhou and said, "I don't need you to teach me how to run my business! Anyway, you have to buy it after trying it, otherwise don't even think about leaving my store!"
As he spoke, he winked at a thin, dark man next to him, and five or six strong men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.
Jiang Qingzhou quickly opened his arms and protected the women behind him, "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, are you still going to hit someone...!"
Before Jiang Qingzhou could finish his words, he was interrupted by the female boss. She said viciously, "Humph, either you pay or don't even think about leaving here in one piece!"
Seeing this, Sun Yingmao hurried forward and grabbed Jiang Qingzhou, "Qingzhou, we are away from home, it is better to have less trouble than more. I think Zishan can wear this dress. I will buy it for her and give it to her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zishan immediately retorted: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? How can we be threatened by such unreasonable demands? Even if I can wear this dress, I don't want to buy it. This is a matter of principle!"
Jiang Qingzhou also supported Lin Zishan's opinion and said to Sun Yingmao: "Brother-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't just give in. They bully us just because we are from outside.
This group of people has definitely been doing this for a long time. We must fight them to the end and not let this forced buying and selling behavior succeed."
Just as Jiang Qingzhou and Sun Yingmao were arguing, Zhang Pingping suddenly spoke up, "Sister, we are all doing business, harmony is the most important thing.
We really can't wear this dress. How about you recommend other styles to us? If we think it's suitable, we can buy one. What do you think?"
When the female boss heard this, a smile appeared on her lips. "This beautiful woman is really good at handling things. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You can take any clothes from my stall. Pick out the ones that suit you and take them away!"
Zhang Pingping pointed to a sky blue floral dress and said, "Zishan, I think this one is nice too. How about changing into this one? It matches Qinghe's temperament."
Although Lin Zishan was a little unhappy, she looked at the several dark-faced men surrounding them and could only walk forward and take a look helplessly.
This skirt is one size larger than the red skirt and the quality is much better than that one, so I nodded.
Sun Yingmao also hurried forward and said with a smile: "Okay, this one! Boss, how much is this skirt?"
The proprietress's eyes flashed and she held up two fingers.
"Two dollars?" Sun Yingmao hurriedly took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it to the boss.
When the proprietress saw the two yuan that Sun Yingmao took out, she curled her lips in disdain and said with a sneer, "Two yuan? Aren't you just treating a beggar like that? I meant two hundred yuan!"
Sun Yingmao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the dress to be so expensive. He looked at Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan, seeing their shocked expressions, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two hundred yuan is two hundred yuan, we'll buy it!"
Chu Jingqiu had already asked the price of the clothes at the stall next to her. She stood in front of Sun Yingmao and said jokingly, "Boss, you are a businessman. We understand that you want to make money.
But, you're too eager to make money! In broad daylight, are you planning to rob?
I just asked other stalls, and they're selling the same clothing for only three yuan each, but you're selling it for two hundred. How is that any different from robbery?"
The lady boss rolled her eyes and said in a long tone: "The quality and style of my skirt are first-class. It is imported from Hong Kong.
How can you compare it with those cheap ones? If you don't know the goods, don't talk nonsense!
I tell you, two hundred yuan, pay and leave, if you don’t pay, no one can leave.”
Chu Jingqiu walked up to the boss fearlessly, glanced at her, and said in a cold tone: "Oh, really! If I want to leave, you really can't stop me.
Your behavior of forced buying and selling is illegal. I just don't believe that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Public Security Bureau can't control you?"
Jiang Qingzhou also said angrily: "Jingqiu, don't waste time talking to them. Let's go to the police right now. I don't believe there is no place for reason!"
At this time, a seemingly kind-hearted woman came over and said with a smile, "Young man, judging from your accent, you are not locals!
If you ask me, when you are out and about, you have to be humble when you need to. As the old saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
The price they're asking for is really too much. I'll help you negotiate, and then you can take the clothes and leave! These people are not to be trifled with!"
Chu Jingqiu glanced at the old lady. Don’t think she didn’t see it. The female boss just winked at her, so she was so kind as to squeeze to the front to act as a lobbyist.
"Old lady, it's true that we are from outsiders, but we can't be bullied just because we are from outsiders!
I'm telling you, today I'm really going to argue with them. We won't pay a penny of this money, and no one can stop us from leaving!" Chu Jingqiu said firmly.
