In a quiet villa in Xuandu City, thick curtains blocked all sunlight from the room, leaving only a gloomy darkness.
"An Yiqing?" an elderly voice, slightly sharp, suddenly rang out, "Tell Tutian Guang, the person who exposed their whereabouts has been found!"
——Foodie’s Divider Line——
The sun shone brightly that day, and it was the weekend. An Yiqing took a ride to Yuyuanzhai, where a drama was unfolding inside the store.
"What kind of business are you running here at Yuyuanzhai?! Selling fakes!" A forty-something plump woman, dressed in a glittering leopard-print dress and wearing three huge jade rings, pointed at the sales assistant, spitting vitriol, "I’m telling you! I will not rest until this matter is resolved! Talking about a tenfold compensation for fakes? Pah! I bought two bracelets and they’re both fakes!"
"Madam, please show us the receipt from the time of purchase." A pretty and polite sales assistant asked with a smile.
"You bastard! What are you implying?! Are you saying I’m lying to you?" The plump woman rummaged through her bag, took out a stack of receipts, and threw them rudely at the sales assistant’s face, "Open your damn eyes and take a good look!"
The sales assistant did not feel angry about the insult; she bent down to pick up the receipts from the floor, looked them over carefully, and said with a smile, "Madam, your receipt records the purchase of two sets of the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Double Ruyi Bracelets. However, looking at the bracelets in your hand, while they feature the dragon and phoenix, the double ruyi is nowhere to be found."
"What the hell is this double ruyi nonsense?! Is Yuyuanzhai unwilling to admit it?" The plump woman put a hand on her hip and showed off the bracelet in her hand to everyone, "People, take a look! This is clearly the bracelet I bought from their store! And now they refuse to acknowledge it! Yuyuanzhai is faking and selling fakes, hundreds of thousands just washed down the drain! Oh heavens... I can’t live anymore!....." Saying so, she dramatically sat down on the floor, appearing to cry and sob miserably.
The crowd in Yuyuanzhai, who had come to shop for jade, started to whisper among themselves. The biggest fear when buying jade was getting a fake, and although they didn’t believe it initially, the plump woman’s crying, causing a scene, and threatening to hang herself began to sow doubts.
Seeing the crowd’s restlessness, the pretty sales assistant’s face slightly showed difficulty, "Madam, if indeed you have purchased counterfeits from Yuyuanzhai, we will surely compensate you tenfold. But the invoice clearly states a double ruyi bracelet. Yuyuanzhai’s inventory is always entered into the computer. If you don’t believe it, we can go to the storeroom to verify it."
The plump woman was taken aback by the sales assistant’s words; she clearly hadn’t expected this solution.
"I’m not going! Who knows if you’re planning to lock me up?!" The plump woman’s eyes darted around, and she started to wail again, sitting on the floor, "I can’t live anymore! There’s no justice! My money!"
"Stop howling, it’s unbearable."
In the noisy store, a gentle, indifferent, and slightly cool voice quietly rose from the entrance.
The plump woman couldn’t hold back and let out a loud, sobbing hiccup.
"Madam, the floor is cold, better to stand up and talk." An Yiqing ignored the plump woman’s question; she strolled over, extended her right hand, and fiercely yanked the heavy lady up, astonishing everyone.
"Boss!" Seeing the stunning girl who had suddenly appeared in the store, the pretty sales assistant was overjoyed and hurriedly ran behind An Yiqing, seemingly emboldened.
