CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 293: WHAT A SHARP TONGUE

The mall manager looked troubled; Ye Ningwan’s words made sense no matter how you interpreted them.

"This issue is also your responsibility. Can’t each side make a concession and settle this by compensating or buying the item at the discounted price?" the manager whispered to the sales clerk.

The sales clerk bit her lip, looking troubled.

At this moment, the store manager also arrived, entering from outside.

It seemed the sales clerk had secretly called her, and she rushed over.

After she arrived, she first spoke with

"I don’t mind telling you now that I haven’t called the police yet. I was just scaring them earlier. If you don’t want to resolve this properly, I will really call the police."

Ye Ningwan said while shaking her phone.

The store manager sighed in relief upon hearing the police hadn’t been called. It’s really difficult to deal with if the police get involved, and indeed the sales clerk was at fault first for not doing her job properly.

However, even though they were at fault first, the store manager did not want to initially take responsibility.

"We both have some responsibility in this matter. So, I can offer this dress at 20% off, which is the biggest concession I can make. Or, you can accept compensation. We will calculate the exact cost after sending it for repair and compensate based on that."

When it comes to the repair cost, it would be up to them what the exact amount would be.

"20% off? We clearly tried it on at a 50% discount, and now you’re saying 20%? Are you kidding? And what about repair costs? If you claim astronomical repair fees, should we agree to that? You’re the store manager, right? Do you think I’m three years old or lack intelligence?" Ye Ningwan scoffed.

The store manager’s face turned red with these words, her hidden little schemes completely seen through by Ye Ningwan.

She couldn’t help but feel ashamed and angry: "I’ve already made the biggest concession. What exactly do you want?"

"My demands are simple. First, since this dress is hung in the 50% discount area, we will buy it at that price. Forget about compensation; we don’t even know the repair costs. What if you collude with the repair shop to raise repair costs? Given your current actions, it’s not impossible. Second, your sales clerk should apologize. Today’s actions have seriously hurt us; asking for an apology shouldn’t be too much, right?"

"Such arrogance, miss. I heard you used someone else’s card to enter the mall. According to the rules, only members can enter our mall. You entered with a borrowed card and are here flaunting it with me?" the store manager said angrily.

Ye Ningwan looked at Zhan Hanjue: "Does the mall’s policy require one card per person?"

"No, as long as you have a membership card, you can enter," Zhan Hanjue replied.

Ye Ningwan smiled at the store manager and said, "This is your mall’s loophole. There’s no rule about real-name registration. What’s wrong with borrowing a card?"

"Can’t afford a card, yet you dare to shop here?" the store manager mocked.

Ye Ningwan chuckled, "Whether I can afford a card has nothing to do with my ability to spend money. This is just your mall’s loophole. To call it a loophole isn’t accurate. It’s more like your mall wants to appear exclusive while still wanting more customers, so you deliberately leave this loophole. In ancient times, this would be called trying to act virtuous while doing the opposite."

Mall manager: "..."

Store manager: "..."

Such a sharp tongue, scolding both of them.

"If we don’t take your suggestion, are you going to call the police? You’re just an assistant for a big company. What makes you think you’re the boss?" the store manager mocked.

Ye Ningwan chuckled, looked at Zhan Hanjue, and blinked her eyes, asking, "Honey, how do we resolve this?"

Zhan Hanjue had been waiting for her to ask him.

He immediately took out his phone to call Chen Tan, speaking coldly, "Acquire a company within twenty minutes."

This store isn’t an international brand; it’s just a small domestic brand.

Otherwise, Ye Ya and company wouldn’t dare to shop here and try on clothes.

Fortunately, it’s a niche brand and a local Jiangcheng brand. For Zhan Hanjue, acquiring such a business isn’t difficult.

The mall manager and store manager sneered at Zhan Hanjue’s domineering words.

They simply didn’t believe that a customer, especially one entering with a borrowed card, could easily acquire a company.

However, to their surprise, it didn’t take even twenty minutes.

Only fifteen minutes.

The owner of the brand arrived, bowing and greeting Zhan Hanjue, saying it was an honor to become part of the Zhan Group.

The store manager was dumbfounded, and so was the mall manager.

Soon after, the mall owner also arrived.

Angrily scolding the manager, he asked him to apologize to Mr. Zhan and Madam Zhan.

The brand owner also reprimanded the store manager and sales clerk, telling them that their real boss from now on is the person in front of them.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhan, Madam Zhan, it’s all our fault. Sorry."

After recovering from the shock, everyone hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Ye Ningwan blinked at Zhan Hanjue, then lightly coughed and told the store manager and sales clerk, "So in the future, never look down on people in business. Also, when it’s your fault, admit it straightforwardly. Learn from mistakes. You made a mistake and didn’t want to take responsibility, trying to push it onto others. Do you think everyone is easy to bully?"

"Sorry, we didn’t see what was right in front of us. It’s our fault."

The store manager and sales clerk apologized repeatedly.

They were so ashamed that their faces turned red.

"Alright, don’t apologize to me. I’m not the one who ruined the dress. Apologize to them. Also, deal with how to handle this dress and who should pay for it. Buy the dress at a 50% discount, and deal with it accordingly," Ye Ningwan said.

"Sure, sis," Liu Yao replied excitedly.

The brand owner and mall owner both said, "We’ll give you the dress for free, no compensation needed."

"No, we will pay what we should, and we won’t spend a penny more than necessary," Ye Ningwan insisted.

The brand owner and mall owner had no choice but to let the sales clerk use the money Liu Yao and others pooled together.

Originally, this was caused by Ye Ya, but she ended up contributing the least.

Even so.

After they left the store, Ye Ya taunted Ye Ningwan, "Since you could buy out the company, why couldn’t you help us resolve the issue with this dress? They’ve said there’s no need to compensate, no need to buy, and they’re willing to give it to us. But you, being pretentious, just had to refuse."

"Yes, I’m being pretentious, but it’s better than having no money to shop, causing trouble, and then avoiding responsibility," Ye Ningwan retorted.
