Chapter 554 - 423 Guts

Chapter 554: 423 Guts

The man speaking was holding a freshly sharpened, gleaming kitchen knife. His cheeks were covered with a thick beard, and his clothes were somewhat tattered.

He stood at the doorway, raising the kitchen knife in his hand and said to the staff, "You are harming people. Everyone says your chili sauce is tasty, so I spent the last five dollars I had to buy some rice and a bottle of your chili sauce, thinking I could get by on steamed millet rice with your sauce until I got paid. But you sold me a substandard product. Not only did you waste my last few dollars, but now I can only eat plain rice for the next few days. You’re really unscrupulous."

Every time he thought about the two dollars spent on a useless bottle, his heart burned with rage.

He had only five dollars on him, spent two on rice, and, with great reluctance, bought a two-dollar bottle of chili sauce, only to find it was spoiled when he got home and completely inedible.

In such a situation, how could he remain calm? Without thinking, he grabbed the kitchen knife and charged over.

In his mind, anyone who tricked him out of his money was a swindler.

"Sir," a staff member stepped forward, "please put down the kitchen knife, and let’s talk this over. Don’t worry, if the product is bad, we can exchange it or refund you. Please, don’t get so worked up."

"You are swindlers, big swindlers." Unlike the calm demeanor of the staff, the man’s emotions wouldn’t settle. "I want to kill all you big swindlers. You steal our money; you have no shame."

"He’s got some issues." A customer who recognized the man pointed at his forehead, "Ever since his wife ran off with someone else, his mental state has been a bit off. Spending the last penny he had on your product, he surely couldn’t accept it."

Having mental issues implies he might be insane.

How does a normal person communicate with someone who is mentally disturbed? Hearing this, the staff looked at the manager, troubled.

The manager looked at Xiaofeng, his expression troubled, "Su, what should we do about this...?"

The other party was not quite right mentally; saying the wrong thing might provoke him, and the consequences could be unimaginable.

Xiaofeng took a step forward, smiled at the man, "Sir, we didn’t steal your money, and we won’t steal your money. How about this, we’ll refund you five times the amount right now, okay?"

The man looked at Xiaofeng, said nothing, but became even more agitated, brandishing the kitchen knife at Xiaofeng, "You’re trying to trick me again, you’re trying to trick me. I’m going to kill you, you whore, for running off with another man."

Not far away, Xiaonian was terrified by the scene and screamed, "Sister, be careful!"

Xiaoyan had already sprung into action, her long legs leaping forward to snatch the knife from the man’s hand, but before Xiaoyan could reach him, Xiaofeng had already jumped to the side, stopping Xiaoyan who was about to rush over.

Seeing that his attack missed, the man picked up the kitchen knife and swung it again, muttering as he did so, "You whore, weren’t you going to elope with another man? Today I’m going to kill you all and see where you can run."

Xiaofeng, facing the man’s incoming attack, chanted softly and then swept her leg out, kicking the kitchen knife from the man’s hand.

The kitchen knife fell to the ground, and the man, unable to maintain his balance, fell over as well.

After falling, the man began to convulse all over, foaming at the mouth; he looked as if he were having an epileptic seizure.

"What’s wrong with him?" A bystander drawn to the spectacle took a step back subconsciously, wondering if this was the result of the bad product he had eaten.

"Did he eat the spoiled stuff and get sick from it?"

"Could it be that bad?"

"It doesn’t really seem like it; it looks more like he’s having a seizure."

"Sister, what’s wrong with him? I can confirm, you didn’t touch him just now; how did he end up like this? Could he die?" Xiaonian, seeing this for the first time, was a bit panicked and uncertain about what exactly was wrong with the man.

"He’s just having a seizure," Xiaofeng frowned, slowly approaching the man, crouched in front of him, and placing her hand on his pulse, imitating Ye Cheng’s method of checking the pulse.

Xiaofeng was actually channeling Spiritual Energy into him.

She wasn’t a doctor, so she couldn’t diagnose others medically. But she could administer Spiritual Energy to temporarily alleviate his symptoms.

The manager looked at Xiaofeng, puzzled, wondering if she knew how to treat people.

Xiaonian and Xiaoyan also looked perplexed, wondering if sister had picked up some medical skills from spending time with Brother Cheng.

And it wasn’t impossible.

"Ms. Su, what’s wrong with him? Should we take him directly to the hospital?" The manager thought for a moment and decided to ask.

Xiaofeng looked at the man, who opened his eyes, and suddenly his eyes became clear.

He sat up, looking around somewhat blankly as if he couldn’t remember what had happened, "What happened here, why am I here?"

Xiaofeng glanced at him and quietly asked, "Do you really not remember what just happened?"

Logically speaking, he shouldn’t.

"I have some issues, I came to settle accounts with you," the man stood up, embarrassed, "The thing I bought from here was broken. I was a little angry, after all, two yuan a bottle is not a small amount for me."

"If you bought something from here, did you bring it? If you have it with you, we’ll reimburse you for five bottles right away, or pay you five times the money, whichever you prefer." When the other party was conscious and wanted to talk, it became much easier.

Listening to Xiaofeng’s words, the man seemed to be dreaming, "Can it really be done like this?"

If a refund was possible, there was no need for him to be upset anymore.

The reason he was upset was because he felt the pinch of the last two yuan spent on a defective product, and in a rush of frustration, he came over with a kitchen knife.

Xiaofeng nodded at him, "Of course, we in business value integrity most. If you bought a poor-quality product from us, you can certainly return it, and even receive more than double the compensation. Brother, this time it indeed was our oversight, we let you suffer a loss, so I’ve decided to compensate you fivefold."

Xiaofeng stood up and likewise said to the other customers, "Everyone, I, Su Xiaofeng, am a businessperson who values integrity. Regardless of the cause of this incident, ultimately it’s our oversight. Anyone here who bought inferior chili sauce, please come here for a refund, and it will be a fivefold refund, I’ll do as I said, and you all are welcome to pass the word around."

"Is that true or just fake?" someone disbelieving said, "A fivefold compensation means for one bottle we bought, we can get a refund for five bottles."

Has this boss gone mad? This is clearly a significant loss.

"Of course, it’s true. You can get a refund or exchange it for five fresh bottles of chili sauce, and this time I can assure everyone, there won’t be any problems."

"Young lady, do your words count?" a woman stepped forward, "Are you the person in charge? If you are not, then better not say such things, as they won’t be honored anyway, just seems like you’re amusing us."

"Exactly. Selling one bottle and compensating with five, your boss would agree? It’s clearly a losing business."

"Young lady, if there are things you can’t achieve, better not mention them. This time, we’ll just consider ourselves unlucky to have bought such a product. Next time we’ll just be more careful when shopping." As for compensation, she had never thought about it.

Xiaofeng, with a gentle smile, responded, "Everyone, uncles and aunties, rest assured, my words definitely count. I said there will be compensation, and there absolutely will be."

Xiaofeng motioned for the manager to bring over a table, then she sat down at the table with a notebook, "We can start the compensation now, who wants to go first?"

Everyone looked at one another, and no one dared to step forward.

The man stood up, rubbing his head, looking uncertain as he took a few steps forward, "I’ll be the first."

"That’s fine, just bring the defective product you previously bought from here, and I’ll honor it immediately." Why the chili sauce was exchanged wasn’t the focus right now.

The current priority was post-sales support and pacifying people.

The man patted himself down, "I’ll go get it right now, you won’t leave, will you?"

Frankly, he wasn’t so trusting.

After all, it’s a business that involves losses.

"I won’t leave. From now until nine o’clock tonight, I’ll be right here. Those who want a refund or exchange, go ahead and bring your items back now, I mean what I say." Xiaofeng sat there, her presence as commanding as a temple guardian, demanding attention.

Xiaonian looked at Xiaofeng admiringly and said to Xiaoyan, "Bro, did you notice our sister has such forcefulness?"

"Nonsense, who do you think she is? Of course, she has," Xiaoyan retorted;

Xiaonian rolled her eyes at him, "Are you trying to compliment yourself or me? Show me your own forcefulness."

Xiaoyan took out a wad of money from his pocket, "See this? I’ve decided. This money is for sister to use for compensation."
