Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan
Right after that. The phone started vibrating frantically. All are strange numbers. Just declined this offer. Another call came. Until a local landline number popped up. I hesitated for two seconds then picked up the phone.
“Hello, are you the one who called the police at XX jewelry store today?”
“I am a reporter for XX Daily, want to learn more about the incident…”
“I will answer later.”
I hung up the phone directly. Just put the phone down. A phone number from another province called again. I picked up the phone and asked directly: The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Then a cautious male voice rang out. Sounds a bit stressful.
“Hello, sister.”
“You are the customer who came to shop at XX gold store today, right?”
“I am the regional manager of the brand, surnamed Vuong.”
“We have seen your posts.”
“We want to have a serious discussion with you about this issue…”
I leaned back in the chair. The corners of the lips slowly curled up.
“Manager Vuong, right?”
“I remember your store manager once said it very clearly.”
“If you want to sue, just sue wherever you want.”
“You guys are a big brand.”
“Not afraid.”
The other end of the line immediately went silent. I continue:
“She still talked.”
“Legal business store.”
“If you want to check, just check.”
Manager Vuong took a deep breath. There was suppressed anger in his voice. Not knowing makes me angry. Or that store manager.
“Ma'am.”
“The Corporation attaches great importance to this incident.”
“The store manager's statements do not represent the brand at all.”
“We will definitely handle it seriously.”
“Can you remove the previous post?”
“Let's meet face to face.”
“I pledge to come up with a plan that makes you satisfied.”
I laughed.
“Three hours ago.”
“I was also blocked by your people in the store and not allowed out.”
“An hour ago.”
“Your store manager still blatantly tells me to sue if I want to sue.”
“Now climb to the top of the search…”
“Do you guys just know what it's called respect?”
Manager Vuong did not dare to say another word.
“I will not delete the post.”
My voice turned cold.
“Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.”
“You bring the person who has the power to make decisions.”
“Bring a treatment plan.”
“Come to the place I designated to meet.”
“The matter of deleting posts…”
"Until your plan satisfies me, then we'll move on."
I hung up. The phone immediately rang again. This time it's a strange number in the locality. I picked up the phone but didn't speak. On the other end of the line came the eldest girl's choking voice. Panic. I've never heard her speak so softly in my entire life.
“Granddaughter…”
“I beg you…”
“Can you delete the online post...”
“The leader of my cousin's agency called and asked…”
“That girl's in-laws are also in a commotion…”
“Your phone is about to get burned out…”
In the afternoon, I sat in the middle of the shopping center and ate. Pointed his finger at me and scolded me for being unfilial in front of everyone. Now you're begging me to delete the post. I leaned back in the chair. Close your eyes.
“When you forced me to pay 76,500 yuan.”
“Did you ever think this day would come?”
The other end of the line fell silent. Immediately followed by real crying. Not pretending. It was the cry of someone who was truly frightened. I waited for her to cry for a while. Then open your eyes go out.
“One person?”
“When you brought your cousin and future sister-in-law into the store to cause trouble, did you think about family members?”
"When you sat on the ground cursing your nephew for being unfilial, did you think about your family?"
“When you told the manager to block the door and not let you leave, did you think about your family?”
The crying on the other end of the line became even louder. I hung up the phone directly. Outside the window. The city's torches shine brightly. On the phone screen. Next to the topic at the top of the local search table, a bright red letter appeared. Three o'clock in the morning. The phone vibrated so much that even my pillow shook.
