Ding Mei was so angry that she stood up and said angrily, "I'll go out and take a look. I've never seen such an unreasonable person."

Wen Liang held her back and said with a smile, "Why bother getting in a hurry with this kind of person? Don't let the quarrels affect the business of the store... How about this, you stay here, calm down, and let me handle it."

"You... Can you do it?"

Although Ding Mei knew that Wen Liang had done many great things outside and was probably more powerful than Wen Huaiming, as a mother she was always worried about her children. Even when they were in their thirties or forties, she still felt that they were not grown up enough to deal with the ups and downs of the outside world.

Mother’s love is like the sea, vast and deep!

"It's ok!" Wen Liang made a face and said, "I have experience in dealing with shrews. Just wait and see."

After leaving the office, the woman who had just left said to Xin Xin in a haughty tone: "See this guy next to me? He's the captain of the Inspection Team of the Quality Supervision Bureau. He's specifically responsible for cheating and deceiving businessmen like you. If you don't accept my toast, I'll close your store today!"

Next to her stood a young woman in her twenties. She was not very pretty, but had a good temperament. Judging from her attire, she should be working in a government department. However, if she said she was the captain, I'm afraid few people would believe her. The young woman looked a little embarrassed. She pulled the woman's arm and complained, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. What captain? It's a joke to others."

"What a joke! You just got promoted. It's not shameful to be a leader. What are you afraid of? Besides, even if I'm not your sister and I was cheated by this shady shop, you should still uphold justice."

At this time, other customers in the store stopped and looked over here. Even a lady who was about to pay hesitated, put the clothes she had chosen on the counter, and paid attention to the developments here.

The young woman obviously couldn't do anything to her sister, so she turned to Xin Xin who was coming over and said sternly, "I received a complaint from a citizen saying that your store was selling suspected counterfeit and shoddy products and was illegally harming consumers, so I came to investigate. I hope you will cooperate actively."

Xin Xin had never seen such a scene before, and she was a little nervous. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Liang came over from behind and said, "Xiaosister Xin, you go and do your work. I will take care of these two guests."

Xin Xin nodded quickly and hid aside. She knew the methods of the boss's son. He beat up that burly man in Songlan Clothing City last time. He would have no problem dealing with the two women in front of him.

"Comrade, I'm the owner of this store. You can tell me if you have anything to say."

The young woman looked Wen Liang up and down, and seemed to be a little skeptical about his age, but she didn't say much. "Here's the thing. This customer of mine bought a piece of clothing in your store not long ago. The price was very high, but she found serious quality problems not long after she got home. She came to your store to negotiate a while ago, but was treated rudely. I hope you can give a reasonable explanation."

Wen Liang smiled and said, "Can I first ask which department you are from, what your position is, and what your name is?"

The young woman frowned and said, "Don't be so frivolous. I'm from the Quality Supervision Bureau. Don't ask about my position!"

"I'm afraid I can't help asking," Wen Liang said with a very sincere expression, "I just heard this lady call you the captain. As far as I know, the captain of the Quality Inspection Team is a man, or has he been replaced since we haven't been drinking together these days?"

The young woman opened her mouth and asked, "Do you know Captain Liu?"

Wen Liang actually didn't know a captain of a small inspection team, but a woman would not normally be the head of a law enforcement team that needed to go out on field missions. Of course, there might be exceptions, but in terms of probability, the probability of a male being the head is higher.

"Captain Liu and I are old friends. Of course, even close friends must abide by the law." Wen Liang looked at the bewildered young woman with interest and said, "Now let me explain. Your sister's clothes were promoted and sold at a price below cost. The salesperson had clearly stated that the clothes had some quality problems. Otherwise, you can look at similar products in the store. It is impossible to be priced that way."

"Promotion?" The young woman was surprised. She looked at the woman and said, "Sister, didn't you say you spent nearly 600 yuan?"

The woman yelled, "You said it was a promotion, but I don't know how much I spent. You are just selling inferior products as good ones. Now that people are coming to you, you make up lies about promotion! Bah, shameless!"

Wen Liang still had a smile on his face and said, "Well, the store has sales records. There are more than one item sold in the same batch. You can ask this comrade from the Quality Supervision Bureau to check. In addition, we have other customers' contact information, which we can also provide to you. Who is lying and who is shameless will be clear at that time."

The woman immediately became angry and took a step forward and shouted at Wen Liang, "Who are you scolding? Who are you calling shameless?"

Wen Liang ignored her and said to the young woman: "Comrade Captain..."

"My name is Hu Chunxiao, and I'm the deputy captain of the second squadron of the inspection team. My sister just made a slip of the tongue just now, so don't worry about it, boss." The young woman stretched out her hand and shook Wen Liang's hand gently. Her attitude became much kinder, and she said, "I understand what happened. I'm afraid it was a misunderstanding. My sister may not have understood that this was a promotional product at the time, so she was a little impatient when something went wrong. Now that we've talked it out, it's okay. I apologize to you on her behalf."

The young woman had already realized that she had been fooled by her sister. In addition, Wen Liang was very generous and could open such a large store in the most prosperous area of Huashan District. It was not impossible that she was an old friend of her boss. After all, she worked in a government unit and was not as ignorant as the woman. She decided to make a big deal out of a small matter.

But the woman was not so easy to talk to. She had originally wanted to ask her sister to support her, but she was scared away by the other party with just a few words. Where could she put her face? She immediately started to make a scene, saying: "Hu Chunxiao, which side are you from? Why are you so ungrateful? You are the leader of the inspection team, how can you be so stupid? He said he knew Captain Liu, so he knew Captain Liu. Let him call Captain Liu to ask, maybe it's a fake? Besides, I spent 600 yuan to buy this dress, you have to admit it whether you want to or not. If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave anyway, let's see how your store operates!"

"Sister! If you do this again, I'll leave!"

The woman was really afraid that the young woman would leave in anger, so she thought about it, sat down on the ground with a plop, threw the bag of clothes in her hand aside, slapped her thigh and cried: "You are bullying people in broad daylight, running a black shop and being hooligans, selling fake goods and you think you are right..."

The young woman named Hu Chunxiao was so angry that her face turned red. She pulled the woman's hand and tried to pull her up, but was pushed by the woman and almost sat on the ground. The woman continued to beat the ground and cried, attracting passers-by outside to stop and look over, pointing at Wen Liang and others from time to time.

Wen Liang was also a little helpless. He bent down and squatted down, and asked, "Okay, stop crying. If you have something to say, just say it. What are your conditions? Tell me."

The woman's crying stopped abruptly. She had originally intended to use her sister's reputation to ask for more, but now her sister was unreliable and she didn't dare to ask for more. She said, "The state stipulates that if the product is fake, you must pay three times the price. I don't want you to pay three times the price. Just pay one. Give me six hundred and we'll forget it."

Wen Liang laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to understand the law and know that if the product is fake, you have to pay three times the price." The woman didn't hear the irony in his words, and her eyes showed a bit of pride. "How about this, six hundred is too cheap, why don't I pay you eighteen hundred..."

"Okay, you said so."

Before the woman finished her words, Wen Liang had already taken out his cell phone and said to the embarrassed and angry Hu Chunxiao: "You also heard it. Your sister just blackmailed me. When the police come, you can also serve as a witness!"

Wen Liang was about to dial the number, but Hu Chunxiao stopped him and said, "No, we can discuss it..."

At this moment, an angry girl's voice came from the door: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Wen Liang heard the voice and looked over, and was stunned when he saw the girl face to face.

The girl was also stunned and asked in astonishment: "Wenliang?"

Qingzhou is so small. Wen Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Meng Ke, what a coincidence!"

"Why are you here?"

Wen Liang glanced at the woman on the ground and said with a wry smile: "This is my mother's shop. I came over to take a look."

Meng Ke's eyes swept between Wen Liang and the woman on the ground. His face immediately turned pale, and even his hands and feet began to tremble.

The woman on the ground was also frightened when she heard Wen Liang was going to call the police. She didn't know what to do. Then she saw Meng Ke coming in and seemed to know this man. Her mercenary thoughts came to life again. She shouted, "Xiao Ke, you came at the right time. Please judge for your mother. This store sold fake goods and turned the tables on me. They want to call the police to arrest me. Do you think there is any justice in this world?"

Wen Liang had no idea what Meng Ke was thinking at the moment. She only saw her walk up to the woman, her eyes red with tears flickering faintly, and she said word by word: "Mom...you...if you still want to treat me as your daughter, now, leave here with me immediately."

The woman didn't expect that her sister would not follow her. Her daughter did the same thing. She raised her voice and shouted, "Didn't you hear me say that I was cheated by this black shop? You let me go without even figuring out who is right or wrong. Go, where to?"

"I heard everything outside the door just now. Let's go, Mom. Let's not embarrass ourselves here, okay?"

"Shame on you? They don't feel ashamed selling fake goods, why should I be ashamed?" The woman yelled, "Do you trust your mother or someone else?"

Meng Ke looked up at Wen Liang, then lowered his head and said softly but without question: "I only trust him, and he will never do anything to deceive others!" (To be continued)
