Zhao Yong got up early the next day. It was winter now and it was getting late in the morning. When Li Manjun was woken up, the street lights outside the window were about to go out, and everything he saw was pitch black.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Li Manjun asked lazily, nestled in the warm bed, not wanting to leave at all.
Zhao Yong had already gotten up and put on his clothes. He also picked out her clothes and covered them in the quilt first. It happened to be less cold when she wore them.
But he didn't expect that when he lifted the quilt like this, cold air came in, and Li Manjun shivered from the cold.
Zhao Yong smiled apologetically, "It's already seven o'clock, and it will be dawn soon. Let's go there early and resolve the matter early."
Li Manjun slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot."
Okay, let's get up.
There was no air conditioning in the room, and Li Manjun didn't bother to let Zhao Yong turn it on. He put on his thermal clothes and pants under the quilt, and got dressed and got out of bed with the help of the air.
Wang Xiaojuan got up earlier than her aunt, and was already collecting fallen leaves on the balcony. She bought two pots of flowers as soon as she arrived. Li Manjun said that they couldn't keep them alive in the winter, and people don't believe in evil. No, all the leaves have fallen.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive next spring.
"Are you going right now?" Wang Xiaojuan asked softly when she saw the couple walking out of the room.
Li Manjun yawned, nodded sleepily, took his bag, and reminded Zhao Yong to take the wine and receipts he bought yesterday, change his shoes and go out.
"Be careful, don't fight, and speak up if you have anything to say." Wang Xiaojuan followed up uneasily and warned.
"I know, you can go back. Nian Nian is about to wake up." Li Manjun waved her hand and motioned for her to enter the house. Just as the elevator came, the couple went straight to the underground parking lot.
"I called Xiaoguan and asked him to come over," Zhao Yong said.
Li Manjun nodded, "Then I'll drive."
Half an hour later, the couple met Xiaoguan at the entrance of the market.
Xiaoguan's eyes were full of excitement, and he thought he was going to buy wedding candies to get married.
Zhao Yong gave him a wink to keep a low profile.
Xiaoguan nodded, knowing that it would be bad to cause trouble.
Li Manjun led the two of them to the door of the department store. It was not yet eight o'clock and the store door was not fully opened. Only the young clerk was cleaning the front door and arranging the shelves.
When I saw someone coming to my door, I thought they were here to buy something. I quickly put down the feather duster, pushed the rolling shutter up completely, and asked enthusiastically:
"What should I buy? Candies, cigarettes, wine, or something else? We have everything here, and the price is wholesale for each item."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Guan Guan holding a box of wine, his expression condensed, and he finally realized something was wrong.
"What are you doing?" The clerk gave Zhao Yong a tentative look. Because Li Manjun was walking behind and Zhao Yong walked in the door first, he thought Zhao Yong was the person in charge.
However, as soon as Li Manjun's voice came out, the clerk recognized her, and when he looked at the opened wine box, his expression changed slightly.
"There's something wrong with the wine you sold me, it's fake!" Li Manjun said with a stern look on his face, as if I was just here to cause trouble.
Zhao Yong didn't say anything, and he and Xiaoguan stood beside Li Manjun, carving the words "we are not to be messed with" on their bodies.
The clerk looked angry and said, "This is impossible, you are trying to blackmail me!"
Zhao Yong smiled coldly, "Blackmailing you? Does my dignified company boss still need to blackmail you for two thousand yuan?"
As he spoke, he slapped the hospitalization form and laboratory test form on the cashier, "Your fake wine really hurt me. I almost had diarrhea and went into shock, you know?"
"We suspected that there was something wrong with your wine before. Yesterday we bought a box and went back to check it out. Sure enough, it was a mixed bag of truth and falsehood. You guys do know how to do business!"
Xiaoguan put down the wine box, "I have the invoices and everything. Call your boss out and figure out how to compensate!"
The clerk couldn't stand it anymore, so he pretended to look at the wine in the box and said, "This wine has been opened, and you poured fake wine into it!"
Li Manjun and the other three didn't answer. The facts were in front of them. This store couldn't be trusted, so they asked the clerk to call the boss out.
The clerk saw that the three men were approaching fiercely, especially Zhao Yong, who was tall and angry and fearful of being beaten, so he quickly called the boss and his wife.
Maybe they lived nearby, but the boss and his wife came very quickly. They said the same thing as the clerk just said, and they suspected that Li Manjun and the others were setting him up by filling him with fake wine.
However, as soon as the invoice was taken out, the store owner had nothing to say.
"I thought it was strange yesterday that I had to get an invoice to pay more. It turned out that you were waiting for us here. I don't think you are any good people!" The boss's wife was very tough. Not only did she not apologize, she even cursed people in return.
Zhao Yong couldn't stand others bullying his wife, so he immediately pointed at the shop owner and warned them not to be arrogant.
"According to the consumer law, you will pay ten times the price if it is fake. You must compensate us ten times the selling price, and also compensate my husband and several of his friends for the hospital expenses. Otherwise, we will go to court."
Li Manjun said calmly: "Of course, we can also contact the reporters at the newspaper. I believe that for such a big news, they will definitely be interested in reporting it so that the general public can avoid lightning."
They specifically chose to come in the morning because they didn't want to make the matter a big deal, not to mention wasting time and effort. Who knows what would happen if they got pushed into a hurry.
When the boss and his wife heard that reporters were coming, they panicked and asked Li Manjun and the others to take a look at the hospitalization list.
This move is tantamount to acquiescing to the behavior of selling fake wine.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong looked at each other and decided to take care of the couple today.
"Ten times the compensation, plus medical expenses, we will calculate it, and you will calculate it yourself." Li Manjun said coldly.
She was not happy at all about getting compensation, and since Zhao Yong had just revealed that he was rich, the store owner and his wife knew that they were not short of money.
The more this happens, the more difficult it will be, and I'm afraid there will be heavy bleeding.
The shop owner and his wife murmured secretly for a while, and the wife turned around and said, "These three bottles are still real. If you want to pay for it, these three bottles won't count."
"Refund me the original price of these three bottles." Li Manjun held back his anger and refused to give in.
The proprietress choked and asked the clerk to bring the calculator. Zhao Yong also signaled to Xiaoguan, who took out his calculator and the two parties settled the accounts together.
The total price of the three bottles of fake wine is 1164. The previous discount was 10%, which is 100 yuan, and ten times the price is 100 yuan. In addition to the refund of 3 bottles of real wine, and the medical expenses of Zhao Yong, Director Liang, and Mr. Qiu, 600 yuan, the total is 1164 yuan.
Xiaoguan showed the calculator to the other party. The couple in the department store took a breath of air and looked at Li Manjun and the others in shock, with angry expressions as if they were trying to defraud.
"This is impossible!"
If you only want good things, you will be compensated ten times!
The landlady handed over the calculator, which showed the amount of 2,500 yuan. "For six bottles of wine, I'll calculate it as 388 yuan per bottle and return it all to you. After taking the money, leave quickly. What about medical expenses? Who knows what you are drinking?"
It’s not someone else’s wine, don’t think we are easy to bully because we have no culture.”
What he said was as if Li Manjun and the others deliberately bullied the couple. It was clear that they knew the law and broke it, and they were at fault first.
