The woman looked messy after being pushed by the salesman. She looked a bit down.
Hearing what the salesman said, the woman said excitedly as she held the garments in her arms. “Salesman, you are talking nonsense! I bought the garments from you two days ago, and the color faded after the garments touched the water. And they ripped open when we pulled on it!”
The salesman said with a sneer, “Any more nonsense, and we are meeting at the court! The stores belong to the Gu Family who are working at the governmental office, you are never allowed to be snapping here!”
Hearing the words, the woman cringed. Angry, she decided to leave with the garments.
They were just ordinary people who were not a match against the officers. She could just let the money go to waste.
Seeing the woman leaving, the salesman laughed proudly.
He knew that the woman was not going to dig deeper into the matter.
Seeing the scene, Gu Chaoyan realized what happened. She said, “Hang on.”
The woman was a bit uncertain. “You are speaking with me?”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She took a step forward and grabbed the garments, gave a strong pull and saw that it was worn out after she took a closer look at it.
Seeing the scene, the salesman said, “Miss, don’t believe the woman’s nonsense, we didn’t sell those garments. She must have gotten them from somewhere else.”
Gu Chaoyan’s face sank. She had not intended to do other things than check up the stores.
If the stores were managed properly, she could consider keeping the staff.
Unexpectedly Mrs. Gu had run a nasty business. So she needed to do something about it.
“Those are not from your garments?” Gu Chaoyan asked with a cold face.
“No, no,” the salesman denied.
Gu Chaoyan exchanged a look with Sword One, who brought out some garments and gave them a strong pull. The same thing happened. Sword One got angry too. How dare such nasty businessmen do things like this? She continued with the examination and the same thing happened again and again.
The salesman became anxious. He looked at Gu Chaoyan. “Miss, we are not enemies, are we? Don’t find trouble from us. Or I am going to ask my manager to deal with this matter.”
“Good, I would very much like to see your manager.” Gu Chaoyan said calmly and chose a place to sit down. She looked at the woman. “Please wait here, Madame, let me get you justice.”
The woman looked at Gu Chaoyan with suspicion.
She was about to say something, when the manager rushed out angrily. “Who is making the mess here? Do you have any idea who is running the store?!”
“It doesn’t matter who is running the store, but I am the owner, Gu Chaoyan.” Gu Chaoyan said without showing courtesy.
What? The manager was startled.
This was Mrs. Gu’s store, how...
Gu Chaoyan pulled out the contracts and leases. “See these?”
“You!” The manager sized her up. “You are the Lady Ugly!”
Hearing the words, Sword One slapped her hard on her face. “Any more offensive words, and you will receive harsher punishments!”
The manager covered up his cheeks. “You...”
“Stop talking, get the money to pay back this madame, and show me all the bills of this store for the past few years!” Gu Chaoyan said with an intimidating tone.
“But... what about Mrs. Gu...”
