Chapter 162: Sucking Second Uncle’s Blood Dry (Part 4)
The store manager gave Miss Wang a speaking look. The employee immediately understood and spoke up. “Sir, you requested for me to hold onto your shopping bags from elsewhere, and I did so. I have already handed these clothes to your third niece. However, I did this only out of good will. You had offered to pay me two hundred dollars for the trouble. But if you really tried to pay me, I would have refused to accept it.”
If he had not spent three hundred thousand dollars, she would have accepted the two hundred dollars.
However, the situation now was different. After he made the purchase, their store’s sales had improved by five percent. The commission from that purchase alone would earn them around fifteen thousand dollars.
Looking at the situation, everyone would likely enjoy that commission together.
Now that they had successfully sold the goods, their boss would not only give them a share of the commission. He would also give them a significant amount of bonus.
Who would still want his two hundred dollars?
Long Shuhai glared at the employee in anger. “You…”
It seemed like this woman would not provide testimony to prove that he was fooled into spending the money.
Fang Xinxin pretended to be clueless as she asked. “What two hundred dollars?”
This time, Employee Wang exercised goodwill and explained. “Third Lady Fang, your second uncle told me that you’re materialistic and superficial. Moreover, you’re stupid and easily fooled. He said that you’re not entitled to wear the clothes from branded stores, and intentionally bought low-quality cheap goods from elsewhere. He brought you to our store to collect the ‘premium’ goods with the intention of fooling you into thinking that these low-quality clothes were purchased from our store. Thankfully, you are intelligent. You immediately noticed that the clothes were counterfeit and bought the genuine ones at our store. It seems that the one who is easily fooled is him and not you.”
Since the employee had been bribed by Long Shuhai, she naturally knew a bit about him.
Now, Fang Xinxin pretended to be angry. “Second uncle, it turns out you didn’t want to buy me any clothes! Won’t your conscience ache from using such a vicious scheme against your own niece?”
Long Shuhai was exposed ruthlessly and his expression turned awkward. “I…”
“You pretended to dote on me but it turns out it was all an act.” Fang Xinxin spoke in a disappointed tone. “Thankfully, through a series of mistakes, I bought the genuine products from this store. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be fooled till the date I end up on my death’s bed?”
“Xinxin, listen to my explanation…”
“What’s there to explain?” Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. “In your heart, I’m worth nothing.”
Long Shuhai was flustered and angry. “I’m not talking to you about that right now. Quickly tell the store manager that you weren’t actually trying to buy the clothes here. Ask them to refund the clothes!”
“But I was actually trying to buy the clothes.” Fang Xinxin shrugged. “Second uncle, you should act like a man. If you’ve already paid for them, just move on. Stop harping on the matter again and again.”
The store manager also said, “You bought the clothes willingly, Sir. If everyone is like you and tries to seek refund after buying the clothes, who would dare to operate these stores? Besides, even if your niece agreed with your version, it would be useless. Let me repeat this once more. Prior to the payment, she clearly indicated you were buying the premium goods from this store. She said they were from ‘this store’ and not anywhere else. She also mentioned that they were very expensive. You were the one who punched in the pin number. You were also the person who signed your name on that receipt. Even if you file a lawsuit against us, you wouldn’t be able to refund the goods.”
Long Shuhai was annoyed by this reminder.
If it wasn’t because he had a guilty conscience, and was fearful that Fang Xinxin would notice the amount charged, would he have folded the receipt in a hurry. Not only did he block her from seeing, he even made it such that he also missed seeing the actual amount on the receipt!
That had been the sumtotal of his savings.
After entering the Fang home for so long, the bonuses and pay he received in the past were mostly spent by Fang Manxue.
As of now, he only had twenty to thirty thousand dollars left. A normal person could survive on that sum for a few years. However, he was already used to a life of luxury. His clothes were all from expensive brands. The wine he drank belonged to the premium brands. Even the restaurants he visited were the best in town…
