Chapter 269 The Vicious Woman
As Zhang Ziqi pushed open the door of the shop and was about to step inside, a slap suddenly landed on her face.
The next moment, Zhang Ziqi felt her face burning. She quickly retreated, only to find herself surrounded by three men and four women.
They were all young, looking incredibly fierce. Zhang Ziqi took a step back, covering her face, and said, "What are you doing? Boss, boss, help me call the police, these people are hitting me."
At this point, the woman in the lead suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Ziqi's hair, and tugged hard, her voice cold, "Hitting you? Let me tell you, today we're not just going to hit you, we're going to make you pay."
"You slut, you sold fake goods on the live stream. The herbal tea you recommended sent my dad to the hospital."
"Also, you said in the live stream that your company's Imperial Jade Skin Powder is very effective, but look at my face. I used your company's product today, and now my face is incredibly itchy. Kneel down and apologize to me."
As the woman spoke, she yanked Zhang Ziqi's hair and violently pulled her to her knees.
Zhang Ziqi was terrified. She had been a good student, a well-behaved girl, her entire life.
Although her family was not well-off, she had always been very well protected by her family, her parents, and her siblings.
Her academic performance had always been top-notch. She had never had any dealings with bullies or troublemakers, and today she was completely stunned by this woman.
Wang Mei, seeing Zhang Ziqi actually kneeling obediently on the ground, revealed a cold smirk in her eyes.
Wang Mei feigned a look of anguish, pointed at Zhang Ziqi kneeling on the ground, and with a "slap," struck Zhang Ziqi's face again.
Wang Mei said, "Apologize now, say your company sells fake products, say you caused my father to be hospitalized, say you ruined my face. Apologize immediately."
Zhang Ziqi knelt there, her mind in chaos, overwhelmed with panic. She had been protected by her loved ones since childhood, pursued by boys around her, and had a group of good friends. She had never felt such fear as she did today.
For a moment, the feeling of depression resurfaced in her mind. Zhang Ziqi's body trembled uncontrollably, her thoughts in disarray. At this moment, suicidal impulses surged into her mind.
Wang Mei looked at Zhang Ziqi on the ground and said impatiently, "What the hell are you still staring at? Didn't you hear me? I'm telling you to apologize to your company, say your company made a mistake, sold fake goods."
Wang Mei roared furiously. The men and women behind Wang Mei were all holding up their phones, ready to record videos.
However, at this moment, although Zhang Ziqi was terrified, she lowered her head. She also knew that she could not apologize on behalf of the company.
Zhang Ziqi stammered, "The fake goods incident, it was the courier company's doing, it has nothing to do with our company. The apology should go to the courier company."
Hearing this, Wang Mei suddenly grabbed Zhang Ziqi's hair and pulled her to her feet.
Wang Mei sneered, "Bitch, didn't you understand what I said? I told you to apologize now, say your Yang Yang Yang company made a mistake, say you made a mistake. I'll count to three. If you don't apologize, I'll strip your clothes off today."
The three boys behind Wang Mei's eyes lit up. They chuckled and snickered, holding their phones tighter, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They knew their boss, Wang Mei, always kept her word. They eagerly awaited the moment Zhang Ziqi's clothes would be torn apart.
Wang Mei and the other six burst into sinister laughter. The other people in the shop only dared to watch from afar, not daring to step forward. The shop owner had already dialed the police.
He was timid and cowered, not daring to step forward to break up the fight, for fear of being beaten.
Zhang Ziqi felt utter despair.
She shook her head and said, "Our company did nothing wrong. The courier made a mistake. I will not apologize. Our company will compensate you. Please don't target me, don't make things difficult for me, I beg you."
Hearing Zhang Ziqi's words, Wang Mei became enraged. She reached out and tightly grasped Zhang Ziqi's collar, giving a fierce tug and attempting to pull off Zhang Ziqi's skirt.
Just then, a slap suddenly flew out, and with a "slap," Wang Mei was sent flying.
Zhang Ziqi stood there trembling, unable to move. Her mind was in utter chaos. At this moment, she just wanted to jump off the building.
She kept asking herself, why should she live? Why had she brought so much pain to so many people, to her parents and family, to the company, and to herself? Why should she live?
Zhang Ziqi tremblingly turned her head and suddenly saw Chen Yang standing beside her.
Chen Yang had slapped Wang Mei flying. He was filled with anger. As he rushed over, he had already witnessed Wang Mei's actions.
If he hadn't arrived in time today, Zhang Ziqi's indecent photos would likely have spread all over the internet. The most crucial point was that even if the police eventually arrived, they would only downplay the matter.
Because this incident would be categorized as an economic dispute, a civil dispute, and so on. In any case, Wang Mei would only have to pay money and apologize.
It was like countless cases of school bullying.
Those girls who committed evil deeds bullied their classmates, preyed on the weak, and committed all sorts of atrocities.
They left indelible scars on the hearts of those kind and timid girls, those children who should have been like angels.
And those who committed these offenses could continue to get away with it, only having to apologize and be done with it, never receiving the punishment they deserved.
Chen Yang turned to look at the trembling Zhang Ziqi, a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that Zhang Ziqi must have been once again plagued by that terrible depression.
Chen Yang reached out and hugged Zhang Ziqi. Then, he walked to the side and suddenly kicked a hot pot that was cooking nearby.
The scalding hot pot, bubbling with steam, instantly flew up. A large basin of hot pot landed on Wang Mei and the seven of them.
The next moment, a series of screams of "Ahhh!" could be heard. Wang Mei and her group clutched their faces and heads, falling to the ground in pain.
Chen Yang turned away coldly, not wanting to spare another glance at this disgusting trash. He felt no sympathy.
Chen Yang pulled Zhang Ziqi out of the shop, then quickly took out a bottle of Zi Zai Herbal Tea and handed it to Zhang Ziqi, saying, "Drink this. Forget everything that just happened."
"Remember that you did nothing wrong, and you didn't cause trouble for anyone. You were amazing just now. Even though you were terrified, even though you were insulted by those villains, you didn't let the company fall into trouble."
"Those people, they were doing it on purpose. They wanted to bully you, to make you apologize for the company. If they uploaded these videos online, it would prove that Yang Yang Yang Company was wrong, that Yang Yang Yang Company chose the wrong courier."
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Zhang Ziqi turned her head sharply, then spread her arms and hugged Chen Yang, crying loudly, "Wuwu."
Chen Yang patted Zhang Ziqi's back, his gaze turning icy. He looked at Wang Mei, who was howling in the shop, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Then, Chen Yang took out his phone and instructed, "Come to the Gourmet Mall, interrogate the seven people, and find out who is directing them from behind."
