"Ye Cheng and Ye Qiu? Are these the people he values?" Duan Minghui picked up the information that had been investigated, glanced at it while sneering. He himself is nothing more than a disgraceful bastard, and yet he dares to use the Duan Family’s money to support those two orphans?
Yes, in Duan Minghui’s eyes, he doesn’t believe Ye Cheng and Ye Qiu have the ability to start a business on their own and their current success must be due to Duan Yunquan’s support.
"Mr. Duan, Ye Cheng’s company currently has support from A University. If we act, it might cause some trouble," the assistant suggested diplomatically.
"Then what about that pastry shop run by Ye Qiu?" Duan Minghui squinted his eyes and asked.
"I haven’t heard of any backing behind this one. It’s just been popular lately; it’s an internet-famous shop."
"Internet-famous shop? Indeed, this is the kind of petty thing done by someone who can’t make it big. Since Duan Yunquan dares to go against me, let’s make him learn a lesson. Find some people to stir things up there."
"Yes."
"Returns, we want returns! Your prices are so high, what kind of materials do you use? After eating, it even caused diarrhea. Everyone come and judge, I want to sue this store for medical compensation, call out the boss!" Early in the morning, a group of elderly women were making a scene at the shop entrance, claiming that the "Four Siblings Pastry" shop had quality issues, causing a stir.
"Call the police," Ye Qiu whispered to the shop assistant, then approached and smiled, "I am the owner of this shop. May I ask what the problem is with our pastries?"
Seeing a young and pretty girl come out, a few elderly women gave her a side-eye, "You’re the manager?"
"Yes, it’s me. I heard you mention someone ate our pastries and it upset their stomach, right? Could you tell me which kind of pastries were bought and how many were consumed?"
"Now there’s trouble, and the boss won’t show up, sending a young girl instead? Let me tell you, this matter is not simple. You’re plotting to kill us, maliciously poisoning us. I’ll sue you, sue you until you go bankrupt. You must compensate for my losses." The elderly woman threw herself to the ground, causing a scene, while others gathered around, pointing fingers, and some even started taking pictures with their phones.
Ye Qiu’s expression turned cold, "Aunt, you mean you bought pastries from us and someone at home got an upset stomach, so you demand compensation?"
"That’s right, bring out your boss."
"I’ve said I’m the boss. Since you claim someone got sick from our pastries, are there any left? Can I send them to a professional institution for testing?"
"They were eaten and caused an upset stomach, how could there be any left?" The elderly woman spat at her, "So young and already a boss, the money for the shop must have been made unscrupulously, let me tell you, don’t think your youth and beauty will easily resolve this. Without an explanation, I’ll make sure you can’t run this shop anymore, and I’ll call to report you soon."
"I can assure you there’s no issue with our ingredients, even if the health department comes for a thorough inspection. Aunt, there’s no need to threaten me; I’ve already called the police. Your current behavior is causing a significant reputational loss to my shop. Later, I’ll assist the police in checking your family’s health to see if it was really caused by our food. If it turns out it wasn’t, Aunt, I will legally sue you." Ye Qiu stated sternly.
"Oh my God, young people these days are really something. Doing wrong and not admitting it, instead threatening me? Let me tell you young lady, I’ve lived this long and never feared anyone."
After she finished, a few of her sisters also began wailing, blocking the line of customers.
"Boss, if they keep making a fuss, what should we do? It will affect the shop’s reputation." The shop assistant anxiously said.
"Don’t worry." Ye Qiu remained calm, "Can’t you see everyone is just watching without making comments? It’s not like before, who really believes this kind of nonsense anymore? Nowadays, the least trustworthy people are those of her age."
The shop assistant looked around and found that it was true. Many were more interested in watching the commotion, some even pointed and laughed, looking at those elderly women as if watching a circus.
"What’s going on? Who called the police?" The police arrived quickly, frowning at the group of trouble-making elderly women, as they’re all familiar faces.
"Aunt Wang, why are you causing trouble again? You’re old, can’t you settle down?" The officer’s words brought instant laughter from the surrounding crowd, everyone saying the scene felt odd, turns out it’s a repeat offender, here specifically to cause trouble.
"Old sister, really, don’t waste your efforts. What’s bought early are from regular customers, everyone knows what this bakery is like, and your causing trouble won’t affect the business. For your children’s sake, take it easy, or you might end up being sued and embarrassing yourself." A kindly-faced woman laughed and advised, and the observers nodded repeatedly.
But this time, the elderly woman had taken money, and won’t give up until her goal is reached. Seeing the police, she began to cry and shout more fiercely: "Who says I’m causing trouble? My son is at home lying sick, Officer, you can’t decide this case based on previous misunderstandings!"
"Alright then, if you’re serious this time, please come with me to the police station." The officer said patiently.
"You want me to go to the station? I won’t go, not until this is resolved."
"If you don’t go, how can I file a case?" The officer continued patiently.
"Yes, Aunt, since you insist that your son got sick from my pastries, let’s file a case and conduct a formal investigation at a third-class hospital. If it’s proven I’m responsible, I absolutely won’t shirk away. However, if it turns out I’m not responsible, Aunt, we’re all civilized people who understand the law, you’ll then compensate for my losses, apologize and clear my reputation. I’m closing the shop for today, please take a trip." Ye Qiu coldly stated, her gaze unnerving the elderly woman.
"I won’t go. If I do and this shop closes, there will be no evidence, you’re guilty by closing now." The elderly woman argued irrationally, "You must give me an answer now."
"What kind of answer do you want then?"
"Compensation, apology, and then close this sham store." The elderly woman articulated swiftly.
"Aunt, this would amount to extortion. I’m offering to go through the official procedure, but you refuse. This matter isn’t decided by you. Your actions today have already caused damage to my shop. I called the police, and my lawyer is on their way. If you refuse to cooperate, my lawyer has the right to ask the police to take mandatory measures."
"The young lady is gutsy, that’s the way to deal with unreasonable old women." A rough male voice suddenly laughed, "This elderly woman thinks there’s a problem with your shop, I don’t think so. Boss, I’ve been craving your pastries for days and finally have time to buy some today, could you sell me a few boxes first?"
