Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Call the police? How big of a deal is it that you need to call the police?"

The Chen family father and son, who had been calm and composed, became panicked when they heard that Xu Wanning was going to report to the police.

Lin's mother also disagreed with reporting to the police.

She gently tugged at Xu Wanning's hand and whispered, "Aning, we can just solve this matter behind closed doors. Why bother reporting it to the police?"

The older generation, especially those who come from rural areas, have a natural awe of the police and would avoid contact with them if possible, even if they are not the ones who made the mistake.

This matter is not unsolvable, why bother taking it to the police station? If it gets out, won't it affect the reputation of the clothing store?

The most important point is that the clothing store currently has so many orders that it is almost overwhelmed. Chen and his son may quit at any time. If the orders cannot be completed on time, it will also affect the reputation of the clothing store.

Xu Wanning said, "Those who do wrong should be punished accordingly."

"If it weren't for this customer bringing in clothes that were made with shoddy workmanship, I wouldn't have known that my employees were so bold as to do this!"

Xu Wanning rarely gets angry, but it was obvious that what the Chen father and son did this time angered Xu Wanning.

Although she did not plan to make much money from a clothing store, since she had chosen to open a store and so many customers chose her store, she must be responsible for the customers.

Not only the clothes that the customer brought today, she also has to find other clothes from the same batch to make compensation later.

Money is a small matter, but the series of consequences it triggers need to be resolved bit by bit by Xu Wanning.

The mess that the Chen father and son made this time was too big. Most importantly, their behavior had touched Xu Wanning's bottom line.

For Xu Wanning, reporting to the police is the best way to resolve the matter. She has no energy or mind to continue to flatter the Chen father and son.

Seeing that Xu Wanning refused to give in, Old Master Chen snorted coldly, "I want to see what the police can do to us even if they come!"

"Dad!" Chen Jianbin gently tugged at his father's sleeve, signaling him not to speak anymore.

How can someone who has done something wrong say such things with a clear conscience? What if Xu Wanning is angered and really reports to the police?

Master Chen, however, believed that they had done it secretly and that even though the matter had been exposed, Xu Wanning had no evidence to prove that it was done by the father and son. In that case, what was there for him to be afraid of?

Xu Wanning didn't even look at Master Chen. Seeing that Lin's mother was unwilling to report to the police, she simply rode her bicycle to the police station herself.

Soon, Xu Wanning came back with two police officers.

After arriving at the clothing store, Xu Wanning took out the account books and registration books.

Xu Wanning asked Lin's mother to prepare the registration book. It clearly records which customer ordered which clothes, the size, color, fabric, how much deposit they paid, and when they made an appointment to pick them up.

She also took out a roll of leftover fabric from the storage room and put it together with the clothes that the customer had just brought in, for a simple comparison.

"According to the account book, since the beginning of winter, a total of 18 people have reserved woolen coats. Many of them reserved both men's and women's coats, and more than one. A total of 39 men's and women's woolen coats are registered. In addition to the two that have been returned, there are still 37 in stock."

"Among them, the price of women's woolen coats ranges from 220 to 300 yuan. There are 21 women's woolen coats in total, and the total price is 5,310 yuan."

"Men's woolen coats generally cost between two hundred and eighty and three hundred and sixty. There are sixteen of them in total, and the total price is five thousand nine hundred and eighty yuan. The total cost is eleven thousand two hundred and ninety yuan."

After Xu Wanning reported the number, she showed the registration book to the police to prove that she was not lying.

"The amount has exceeded 10,000 yuan. Is this a significant amount? I own the clothing store. It doesn't make sense for me to bear the loss alone for the mistakes they made, right?"

"My request is very simple. If they return the fabrics they stole and take the initiative to bear two-thirds of the loss, I will not sue them. Otherwise, we will follow the legal process."

Master Chen didn't expect Xu Wanning to ask for such a high price and let them bear two-thirds of the loss!

Two-thirds of more than ten thousand yuan is more than seven thousand yuan!

It is obvious that the Chen family father and son will not acknowledge this money.

"Boss Xu, we made the clothes, I admit that. But you said that my son and I stole the fabrics, I don't admit that! You know, since the opening of the clothing store, all the fabrics were purchased by you and placed in the storage room. How could we have the opportunity to change them?"

"You can't just accuse us without any hesitation, right? Unless you can provide solid evidence, don't even think about accusing us!"

Xu Wanning sneered: "If you ask for a hammer, I'll satisfy you!"

"The textile factory has its own system. I believe the textile factory also has records of who bought what kind of fabric and how much they bought at what time. As for whether the Chen family father and son are behind the scenes, I believe the public security comrades can find out as long as they investigate."

Master Chen, who had been calm and composed all the time, staggered when he heard Xu Wanning's words, and it was obvious that he felt guilty.

He thought that Xu Wanning would suggest searching his house. He had already dealt with the scraps of cloth anyway, so they wouldn't find anything.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wanning took a different approach and proposed to investigate from the source.

But Master Chen was only nervous for a moment and then he relaxed again.

There are so many textile factories in Beijing, at least 20 to 30 of them, big and small. It is impossible for the public security comrades to check every one of them. Even if they find any, it is nothing, they just won't admit it.

Perhaps he guessed what Lao Chen was thinking, and Xu Wanning's next words made his heart tremble, and feelings of guilt and regret instantly came over him.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the public security comrades must go to the First Textile Factory to investigate. I know the director of the First Textile Factory, and he told me that only their factory can produce this kind of fabric for woolen coats. Even other textile factories in Beijing cannot produce this kind of fabric."

"How is this possible? Could it be that you discussed this with the director of the No. 1 Textile Factory in Beijing in advance?" Master Chen accused Xu Wanning loudly.
