Chapter 32 Jade Orchid
"How come he keeps showing up again, like a ghost? Didn't you swear you'd already solved it?"
Bai Ye'er suppressed her anger and forced a smile to her face, her voice trembling slightly.
"Brother Tong... I'm really sorry, it was my oversight this time, but I promise I will handle it properly as soon as possible and never let anything like this happen again."
After she finished speaking, a flash of resentment appeared in her eyes, like a venomous snake in the dark night, gone in an instant.
Tong Shicheng waved his hand impatiently, his tone full of threat: "You better keep your word, otherwise everything you've worked so hard to get will burst like a bubble in an instant."
Bai Ye'er nodded quickly, patting Tong Shicheng's back reassuringly, then leaning softly against his shoulder, whispering sweet nothings.
"Brother Tong~ Don't be angry~ It's my fault, but we need to quickly check if any video footage of the scene has been leaked, and I'll have to trouble you to have the public opinion monitoring team handle it~"
As she spoke, she took Tong Shicheng's hand, trying to calm his anger.
Tong Shicheng seemed to be moved by her tenderness and quickly made a phone call.
After giving a brief explanation, he turned to Bai Ye'er and said, "There's already some public opinion starting to simmer, but I've already had it taken care of, so don't worry. But I must warn you, don't let him appear in front of me again, or you know the consequences."
Bai Ye'er trembled slightly upon hearing this, but a bright smile quickly bloomed on her cool face as she replied sweetly, "I know, Brother Tong~ Thank you so much."
Upon hearing this, Tong Shicheng's expression improved significantly.
He then grabbed Bai Ye'er, held her tightly in his arms, and began to grope her.
The driver in front and his assistant beside him seemed to be used to it; one drove without looking to the side, while the other stared intently at his phone without making a sound.
The entire carriage was so quiet that only their breathing and panting could be heard.
On the other side, Jiang Songchu leisurely strolled to the third floor, his gaze sweeping over the bustling crowd who were curiously heading towards the "Yu Linlang" shop.
However, she did not follow the crowd, but instead turned her attention to a shop called "Miya" not far away.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she walked into the store without hesitation.
The shop is decorated in an elegant and cozy style. In the approximately 200-square-meter space, there is a beautiful decorative display in the center, and glass cabinets around the perimeter displaying a variety of products.
At this time, several people were already selecting their favorite items in the store.
As soon as I stepped into the store, a saleswoman dressed in a white traditional Chinese style skirt suit greeted me with a smile. The gold thread trim on her skirt added to her elegance.
"Miss, what products do you need? Or what style do you like? I can recommend some to you." Her voice was gentle and friendly.
Jiang Songchu carefully examined the products in the display case and found that the types of products here were quite diverse, but they all featured traditional Chinese style and trendy elements, such as patterns of Qilin, Phoenix, and Chinese zodiac animals, which were exquisitely made.
Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a necklace shaped like a peach blossom.
The necklace was crafted from pure gold and pink gold, cleverly adorned with translucent jade as green leaves.
Although the jade contains a few impurities, the layers of green leaves make the peach blossoms appear three-dimensional and delicate, neither exaggerated nor unconventional.
Jiang Songchu's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the peach blossom necklace, saying, "Could you please take this out and let me see it?"
The shop assistant immediately beamed, put on white gloves, carefully brought out the display tray, and gently took out the peach blossom necklace.
"Miss, you have excellent taste. This necklace was personally designed by our founder, Mr. Lin. It has been very popular since it was put on the shelves." The sales assistant said as she helped Jiang Songchu put on the necklace.
Jiang Songchu looked at herself in the mirror. The necklace around her neck shone brightly in the reflection. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She asked directly, "How much does this necklace cost?"
"Miss, the original price was 6688 yuan, but the mall is currently having an anniversary sale with subsidies and discounts, so the total price is 6000 yuan," the salesperson replied with a smile.
"I'll take it, let's pay." Jiang Songchu readily took out the QR code and paid.
The shop assistant happily helped her complete the payment. Seeing that Jiang Songchu was about to leave, the assistant even asked her if she needed to add him on WeChat so that he could notify her when new products were launched.
Jiang Songchu smiled, shook her head, waved, and left the shop.
However, she hadn't gone far when she heard a commotion coming from inside the "Yu Linlang" store.
Jiang Songchu turned her head curiously and saw a woman dressed in an expensive dress and carrying a luxury handbag. Anyone with eyes could tell that she was a rich person.
She was angrily pointing at a jade bracelet and saying to the shop assistant, "This jade bracelet is clearly fake, why won't you give me a refund?"
A crowd of onlookers gathered around, curiously observing the scene, with some even recording it on their phones.
The salesperson at "Yu Linlang" explained with a smile, "Madam, please calm down. It's not that we don't want to give you a refund, but this jade bracelet isn't even one of our products, so of course we can't give you a refund."
The woman was clearly unconvinced and became even angrier: "What a joke! Are you implying that I deliberately tried to cheat you by offering a replacement item?"
"Everyone come and see! This brand that Bai Ye'er endorses is openly selling counterfeit goods and even falsely accusing me of switching the product and returning it!"
As she spoke, the woman raised the jade bracelet in her hand high.
Jiang Songchu, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. She squinted and carefully examined the jade bracelet, finally realizing where the strange feeling she had when she saw Bai Ye'er wearing the bracelet at the event came from.
The shop assistant at "Yu Linlang" was so anxious that tears were almost falling, as she explained, "No, no, ma'am, please listen to me..."
Just then, a noticeably older shop assistant entered the store. She had a warm smile on her face and walked calmly toward the woman.
She smiled softly and said, "Hello, ma'am, I am the store manager of 'Yu Linlang'. I have a full understanding of the problem you are facing. Are you planning to return the item?"
"Please come with me to the store to rest for a while. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you immediately."
The store manager's words were like a gentle spring breeze, gradually calming the woman's initially furious expression.
However, she thought for a moment and seemed to sense something was wrong, so she added, "I heard it clearly at the event today: ten times the compensation for fakes! It's not as simple as just returning the goods!"
