"Comrade, are you mistaken? How could I possibly do such a thing? I'm a three-good citizen. Besides, Director Wang is my best friend. How could I knowingly break the law? Don't you think so, comrade?"
"Oh, really? From what Shopkeeper Niu said, you're a very good citizen. I didn't expect there was Director Wang behind you."
"Yes, yes, I know your Director Wang. He has always been my good friend. I can't do anything illegal. Otherwise, you can ask your Director Wang and you will know."
"Shopkeeper Niu is indeed a generous man. I admire him very much." Zhang Wenjun said as he clapped his hands. The people who followed him in also followed Zhang Wenjun's actions. For a moment, the whole store was filled with applause.
"Brother Zhang, what are you doing? I'm just trying to remind you, don't offend the wrong people. You can't afford the consequences."
"Shopkeeper Niu, are you talking about Director Wang? If it's really Director Wang, then Shopkeeper Niu can rest assured. Director Wang and I are close friends. I'm just worried that by then we won't know if Director Wang is really your friend anymore."
"What do you mean, kid?" Shopkeeper Niu was a little impatient, but after thinking about it carefully, he calmed down.
"Really? Well, I'll just have to wait and see. Will Director Wang be my old Niu's friend or Brother Zhang's close friend?"
Johnnie To watched Zhang Wenjun and Manager Niu quietly from the side. Of course, he heard every word of their conversation.
After that, the two of them did not argue about who Director Wang was friends with. Zhang Wenjun's mind was now completely focused on the clothes in front of him.
Among the eight pieces of clothes that the man just scattered around, five were exactly the same as the styles in his own shop. Even at this time, this old guy still refused to admit that he had stolen their clothing styles.
"Shopkeeper Niu, let's be frank. This clothing style is from our store. It's almost exactly the same. How can you deny it?"
"What's the matter, Brother Zhang? You are the only ones allowed to make trendy clothing styles, but we are not allowed to? Aren't you overreaching a bit?" Shopkeeper Niu looked at Zhang Wenjun with contempt, his face filled with a slapping smile.
You little brats, you think you can fight me?
"Haha, I just hope that Shopkeeper Niu can laugh like he does now later on."
Zhang Wenjun and Johnnie To looked at each other, and Johnnie To nodded at Zhang Wenjun.
Not long after, the aunt who had gone to "Youya Pavilion" to quarrel was accompanied by two police officers on the left and right. The aunt in the middle was so scared that she was at a loss. Seeing them taking her to the shop of Manager Niu, she finally felt relieved.
It’s just that the aunt let go of her worries a little too early.
"Auntie, you told the police officer that you bought the dress from our store the other day. We checked carefully and it's not from our store, but from Shopkeeper Niu's. Tell me, were you tricked into giving us money to cause trouble?"
"No, I don't. I bought that dress in your store. I spent ten dollars on it. I remember it very clearly." The aunt answered loudly.
"Really? The clothes in our store. Since everyone is here today, let's tell you something. Then everyone will know whether the clothes this lady bought are from our store or not."
The onlookers started to speak out.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, how do you verify this?"
Zhang Wenjun coughed, and someone beside him immediately took out two contrasting pieces of clothing and spread them out in front of everyone.
"Everyone, look carefully. Are the styles of these two pieces the same? And are the pockets oriented the same?"
"Yeah, they're basically all the same. I can't even tell which one is which."
"That's right. You are all outsiders. You can't tell anything by just looking at the outside of the clothes. Everyone, listen to me carefully. You can touch the fabric and you will know."
Someone came forward and touched the fabrics of the two pieces of clothing. It turned out that one piece of clothing felt soft, while the other felt a little hard.
"Comrade, you've felt it, right? Does one of these fabrics feel harder and the other softer?"
The comrade who came forward nodded.
Zhang Wenjun asked a few more comrades who were watching to touch the cloth, and they got the same answer as the previous comrade.
The shopkeeper Niu next to him didn't take it seriously. It was just a small piece of cloth. Even if it felt wrong, it didn't mean that the low-quality clothes were produced by their company.
Zhang Wenjun saw that Manager Niu still looked indifferent, but he was not angry.
"Auntie, I'm asking you one last time. Are you sure you bought this dress in our store? You have to know that there are police officers on both sides of you. If you tell a lie, they will take you to task and then lock you up for ten days or half a month. So, Auntie, you have to think carefully."
"Auntie, this comrade is telling the truth. If you shield a bad guy and he gets punished, you'll be considered an accomplice. We usually lock you up for fifteen days."
The aunt was frightened by them.
"I'm telling you, I was hired by Shopkeeper Niu to cause trouble in your store. He said he'd give me fifty yuan after the job was done. I was greedy, and I didn't think it was a big deal, so I agreed. Who knew I'd end up in jail? Public Security Comrade, you have to make the decision for me."
"Why, Mr. Niu, do you have anything else to say?"
