Chapter 12 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan

He was stunned. Hastily said:

“If you have any other requests.”

“Please keep talking.”

“We will coordinate as much as possible.”

I looked straight at him.

“Where is the store manager now?”

General Manager Chu turned to look at Director Tran. Director Tran pursed his lips.

“She's sitting in the car out there.”

“He said he wanted to meet you in person to apologize.”

General Manager Chu didn't have time to say more. I spoke up:

“Call her in.”

Director Tran was momentarily stunned. Then immediately take out your phone and send a text message. Two minutes later. The cafe door was pushed open. I almost didn't recognize the person who walked in. Yesterday's manager Ly Binh. And the woman in front of me right now. It's almost like two completely different people. Yesterday, he raised his chin to the sky, arrogant like no one else. Today he looks ten years older. Her hair was quickly tied into a messy bun. The face is bare. Both eyes are swollen and red. Dry, chapped lips. He was wearing only a wrinkled gray hoodie. Both hands hang down at the side. Fingertips trembled non-stop. Ly Binh stepped in front of me. Stand still for a few seconds. Right after that. She knelt straight down on the floor. The whole cafe immediately fell silent. Guests at the neighboring tables simultaneously turned their heads to look over.

“Ma'am…”

“Sorry, sister.”

Her voice was hoarse. Dry and rough like sandpaper rubbed against wood. I didn't reply. Just pick up the cup of coffee and take a sip. She knelt on the floor. Tears fell profusely.

“I am someone who looks down on others…”

“I have eyes but cannot see Mount Thai Son…”

“I shouldn't have followed your relatives to bully you…”

“I shouldn't have blocked the door...”

“Don't say those words…”

“Don't make things difficult for me and my aunt…”

She cried so much that she couldn't breathe. Shoulders tremble intermittently. General Manager Chu sat next to him. The look on his face was extremely awkward. Director Tran bowed his head and stared at the legal documents. Pretend to be studying very attentively. I put down the coffee cup. Gently asked:

“Are you done crying yet?”

Ly Binh immediately raised his head. Red, teary eyes looked at me.

“Yesterday when you forced me to pay.”

“My mother's eyes were red with self-pity.”

“Don't you see?”

“When you say 'if you don't pay, don't even walk out the door'.”

“My mother was so scared that her hands were shaking.”

“Don't you see?”

“After I called the police.”

"She even boldly said that she could sue wherever she wanted."

“That's what you said, right?”

Ly Binh's lips trembled. Head bowed even lower. The shoulders also trembled more intensely.

“Now kneel down and cry for a few hours.”

“Do you want to pretend like nothing ever happened?”

In the coffee shop. Only the sound of the air conditioner blowing softly remained. General Manager Chu was just about to speak up to reconcile. I interrupted him.

“I understand your plan.”

“Compensation.”

“Donate.”

“Correction.”

“That's the brand's attitude.”

“But her sincere apology…”

“I haven't seen it yet.”

I looked down at Ly Binh.

“Why do you insist on following my relatives to bully me?”

She stammered for a long time. Finally, I can say one thing:

“I see your relatives dressed luxuriously…”

“I want to close a big order...”

I looked straight at her.

“So you think my mother and I are easy to bully?”

“Does wearing normal clothes deserve to have the door blocked?”

“Deserve to be forced to pay 76,500 yuan?”

Tears welled up in her eyes again. Mouth opened. But couldn't find an excuse.

“I asked you.”

“Now kneel here.”

“Do you really know you're wrong?”

“Or because we can't suppress public opinion anymore?”

“Because the market regulator has already stepped in?”

Ly Binh's whole body stiffened. Can't answer. I also don't want to waste any more time.

“General Manager Chu.”

“The plan I accept.”

“Send the compensation money.”

General Manager Chu immediately signaled the lawyer. Less than a few seconds. 50,000 yuan has been transferred to the account.

“If the charitable donation is complete, send me the documents.”

General Manager Chu nodded repeatedly.

“Definitely.”

“I promise.”

I hold my bag. Prepare to leave. Just took a step. Suddenly someone pulled my pants leg.
