Chapter 308 Falsehoods Lead to Losses!
"Esteemed guests," the manager approached with an unwavering composure, maintaining a smiling countenance. "Is there anything I can assist you with?"
Zhouzhou, munching on melon seeds in her hand, her eyes rolling thoughtfully, caught a glimpse of something on his shelf. A glint of realization flashed in her eyes.
She had just witnessed him compensating those people. Triple the amount, no less! So much money! Suddenly, she excitedly waved her paw and exclaimed, "I want to buy something!"
Pointing at a vase on the shelf, she declared.
Upon hearing this, the manager felt a mixture of surprise and delight. He had thought no one would dare to purchase from the Gu Yun Pavilion anymore.
Yet, here was someone buying. Fearing she might regret her decision, he delicately retrieved the vase she pointed to.
However, Zhouzhou didn't spare it a glance, continuing to point with her chubby paw, "And that, and that one, and that one."
She pointed to five items in succession, then confidently handed her black and gold card to the manager, commanding, "Swipe it!"
Not even bargaining? This was unlike the usual behavior of a penny-pincher. Ye Lingfeng and Mu Xuan raised their eyebrows simultaneously, understanding what was happening. A hint of amusement flickered in their eyes.
Only Yun You remained clueless, his innocence evident. Weren't they here just to witness the spectacle of Gu Yun Pavilion? Why were they spending money on purchases?
Yun You hurriedly interjected, "Zhouzhou, whatever you want, we can get it from the store. Don't waste money here."
Zhouzhou waved him off, adopting the demeanor of a spendthrift. "No, I like the things here."
Before Yun You could say more, Mu Xuan suddenly took Zhouzhou's card and handed it to the manager. "Swipe it."
Was he insane? Yun You couldn't believe his eyes. Mu Xuan's glance silenced him instantly, causing the words on the tip of his tongue to retreat. He was both anxious and puzzled, not understanding why they were spending so much money here.
Did Gu Yun Pavilion have something better than his family's Precious Antiquity Pavilion? Their family had never dealt in counterfeit goods!
The manager, not daring to refuse, quickly took the card and swiped it. Seeing the money credited, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost all the money he had just refunded had come back in an instant. Relieved, he respectfully returned the card, his smile never faltering.
Zhouzhou grinned, pocketing the card, then pulled out the POS machine, confidently declaring, "Compensation!"
The manager was momentarily dumbfounded. "Young miss, what did you say?"
Indeed, that was the case. Ye Lingfeng and Mu Xuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.
With her hands on her hips, Zhouzhou asserted confidently, "You sold me counterfeit goods. Shouldn't you compensate me? I heard clearly, triple compensation. Not a penny less!"
"Counterfeit, counterfeit?" The manager was dumbfounded, his face suddenly changing color.
Quickly summoning the workshop master from the store, upon confirming the goods were indeed fake, he collapsed onto a chair.
How could this be happening? Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked up at Zhouzhou accusingly. "You did this on purpose!"
Indeed, she had! Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin. "It's not that I have poor taste. I just happened to spot the fakes at a glance. Enough chatter, compensate me quickly, or I'll call the police."
"Then call them," the manager's expression turned sour. "I have reason to suspect you planned this. Who's to say you didn't plant these counterfeit goods yourself?"
Yin Shao nodded. "Then let's discuss the compensation."
"...Yes." The manager's spirit was completely drained.
What kind of bad luck had he encountered today? How could he explain this to the boss when he came out?
It was over. Gu Yun Pavilion was completely finished now.
Yin Shao was efficient. In just ten minutes, Zhouzhou left satisfied, holding her POS machine. Before leaving, she waved playfully at the manager.
"Uncle, your stuff is really good. I'll come again next time."
She used to only know that buying things cost money, but she didn't expect she could make money as well.
Brother Dafu was right. Indeed, the sea of money was boundless, and she had learned it!
Upon hearing her words, the manager shivered and, ignoring his image, ran back to close the door.
How rude.
Zhouzhou pouted.
She looked at Yin Shao again and said in a coquettish voice, "Thank you, Uncle."
She took out a hundred yuan bill from her bag and handed it to him. "This is for Uncle's fee."
Yin Shao looked at the money in his hand, raising an eyebrow slightly.
He had never received so little money before.
However, he didn't say much.
He glanced at Ye Lingfeng, nodded slightly, and said to him, "Mr. Ye, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Ye Lingfeng nodded. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
With that, he turned and left directly.
Zhouzhou held Ye Lingfeng's hand and went to Zhen Gu Pavilion opposite. She sat in the car with the Zhong Kui exorcism painting.
Ye Lingfeng drove in front and quickly arrived at the Yun family.
After getting out of the car, Yun You took a few steps, suddenly stopped, and exclaimed, "I know! Zhouzhou, you did it on purpose! You recognized that those were all fake, so you intentionally bought them to demand compensation from them, right?"
One sentence caused several people to stop in their tracks.
Mu Xuan massaged his forehead, pretending not to recognize him.
Zhouzhou was also stunned, her small mouth round, and after a while, she raised her thumb to him. "...Third Senior Brother, you're so smart."
