Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
This was clearly extortion.
This broken chair was worth a few hundred yuan at most, yet she was demanding ten thousand. If that wasn't extortion, what was?
Jiang Yi had met many strange people, but never such a peculiar woman.
For just sitting on her chair, she wanted to extort ten thousand!
Besides, this chair was placed in the store, wasn't it for people to sit on?
Just then, Dongfang Mei, having heard the commotion, came downstairs. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, she asked Jiang Yi, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Yi shrugged and recounted the events.
"I'll handle this myself!" Jiang Yi said.
"You'll handle it? As a grown man, do you plan to beat her?"
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly, "Let me sort it out!"
Jiang Yi remained silent, implicitly agreeing.
Manager Xiao sized up Dongfang Mei and sneered, "Judging by your attire, you have some money. You two are together, aren't you! I've changed my mind. You must pay me two hundred thousand."
Jiang Yi was speechless!
This woman was clearly acting shamelessly.
"Alright, it's just two hundred thousand. I'll pay you," Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi was a little stunned.
He hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to agree so readily.
Manager Xiao's face was full of a cold sneer. She thought her luck was too good today, encountering such a foolish and rich target. She even regretted not asking for more.
Suddenly, Dongfang Mei raised her hand and slapped Manager Xiao.
The slap landed with a crisp sound.
"I hit you, why didn't you dodge?" Dongfang Mei asked Manager Xiao.
Manager Xiao was stunned by Dongfang Mei's question.
"You didn't dodge, and my hand got injured from hitting you, seriously injured. You must compensate me for medical expenses. If it's less than a million, I'm not done with you," Dongfang Mei said calmly.
Dongfang Mei's hand was actually fine.
Dongfang Mei was retaliating, using Manager Xiao's tactics to deliberately extort her.
Manager Xiao trembled with rage.
She had been slapped, her face was almost swollen, and Dongfang Mei was actually demanding a sky-high medical fee of a million yuan.
"You're extorting me..." Manager Xiao said angrily.
"Weren't you extorting us? A broken chair, and you extorted us for two hundred thousand," Dongfang Mei sneered.
"So what if I extort you?"
Manager Xiao stared arrogantly at Dongfang Mei, "You're finished today. Do you know who the big boss behind this store is? No matter who you are, you will pay the price for today's events."
"Oh really?" Dongfang Mei smiled slightly.
"Have you heard of the Dongfang family in the capital?"
Manager Xiao said smugly, "The Dongfang family of the capital is one of the most powerful business families in the entire Huaxia country. This clothing store is a branch of the Dongfang family in Jiangcheng. In Jiang Province alone, there are over a hundred such branches..."
What Manager Xiao didn't know was that Dongfang Mei, standing before her, was the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family.
"This is ridiculous!"
Dongfang Mei said to Manager Xiao, "You are just a manager of one of the many branches. Do you think the Dongfang family will deal with me for you?"
Dongfang Mei did not reveal her true identity.
"My status is more than just a branch manager!"
Manager Xiao said proudly, "My aunt is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. I'm related to the Dongfang family..."
Dongfang Mei frowned upon hearing this.
Jiang Yi blinked and then quietly asked Dongfang Mei, "Is she really your aunt?"
"I don't have any aunt at all!"
Dongfang Mei said softly. Sudancrazy.com
Dongfang Mei was quite angered.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. He had just found it strange how Dongfang Mei suddenly had an aunt.
Manager Xiao was boasting right in front of Dongfang Mei.
Manager Xiao was probably going to face trouble this time.
"What a coincidence. I am Dongfang Mei, the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family you mentioned. But I don't know you!" Dongfang Mei said coldly.
Manager Xiao was stunned upon hearing this.
Soon, Manager Xiao recovered and sneered at Dongfang Mei, "You have quite the nerve, daring to impersonate the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. I think you've eaten the heart of a leopard!"
"You don't believe me?"
Dongfang Mei said, "Then I'll show you something..."
With that, Dongfang Mei took out a piece of jade from her person.
This was no ordinary jade. Even in daylight, it emitted a faint golden glow, looking exceptionally dazzling.
Carved onto the jade were a few small characters.
Upon seeing the jade, Manager Xiao collapsed onto the ground, her face filled with despair and terror.
Those service staff stared wide-eyed at Dongfang Mei.
To them, Dongfang Mei was like a legendary figure. Seeing her in person today, they felt an indescribable excitement.
"You... You are Dongfang Mei, the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family..." Manager Xiao's voice faltered.
"You have some discernment after all!"
Dongfang Mei's gaze fell upon Manager Xiao, and she said, "I hereby announce that you are fired. From now on, you are blacklisted. I don't want to see you again. Disappear from my sight immediately."
After recovering, Manager Xiao fled in panic.
"Wait..."
Dongfang Mei called out.
Manager Xiao stopped.
"Is there something you haven't finished doing?" Dongfang Mei asked Manager Xiao.
Manager Xiao immediately understood Dongfang Mei's meaning.
"Sir, I apologize. It was my fault. Please forgive me!" Manager Xiao said to Jiang Yi with a pleading look.
Manager Xiao wasn't foolish; she could see the relationship between Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei.
This time, she had truly run into a tough opponent.
She had originally intended to extort money, but she never expected to extort the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family.
After apologizing, Manager Xiao left.
"I didn't realize your Dongfang family's businesses extended to the high-end fashion industry? No wonder the Dongfang family is so wealthy," Jiang Yi said, looking at Dongfang Mei.
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. Our Dongfang family is involved in all sorts of industries."
Dongfang Mei gave Jiang Yi a charming smile, "When you marry me and become the son-in-law of our Dongfang family, all of this will be yours. Marrying me, you won't lose out!"
Jiang Yi blinked.
"I can't manage the vast assets of the Dongfang family alone. After we get married, my mother will hand over all the authority to you and me. We will manage the Dongfang family together!" Dongfang Mei said playfully.
"Wouldn't that be like you supporting me?" Jiang Yi wasn't interested in these things.
"I know you have a strong sense of pride!"
Dongfang Mei smiled, "It's okay if you don't want to inherit our Dongfang family's business. With our Dongfang family's strength, it's enough for you to establish your own venture. Whatever you want to do, I will fully support you."
