A Perfect Match (187)

"CEO Qin, let's end this matter here! Whether the ring is found or not, we'll bear the losses!" The general manager quickly stepped in and said, "You must be tired after rushing all the way here. Let's go. I'll treat you to a cup of tea in the office!"1

"That won't be necessary!"

Qin Zhou brushed him aside and shot the store manager a cold look. "You think you can distract me with such petty tricks?"

He said unhurriedly, "I heard on the phone just now that the ring has been found. How should we explain this?"

The general manager turned pale and his body stiffened. The store manager didn't know what to do either and stood there in a daze. Liang Yin, who had heard it too, turned her face away angrily and clenched her fists. However, a part of her felt relieved that the ring had been found! The policemen, having invited a snub, stood aside smoking. They probably didn't have much of a part to play in this situation now.

The general manager said firmly, "I will definitely give you a good explanation!"

"Oh, we'll wait and see then."

…

The whole matter ended with a public apology and financial compensation. The store manager naturally lost her job. Even the general manager had to bear the punishment of the notice.

Liang Yin did not know how the matter was resolved. She was just sitting in the guest room with good tea and snacks. The public relations officers went about their job nervously, afraid that they would miss anything.

Qin Zhou eventually returned to get her. As they walked out of the mall, Liang Yin rubbed her swollen eyelids and smiled at him.

"Thank you! Qin Zhou."

The man turned to look at her and casually asked, "Whatever for?"

"If you hadn't turned up, I don't know how this would have ended!"

"You should have informed me the moment it happened." He added, "If I had stepped in, this would have been easy to handle."

"I was indignant." Anger returned to Liang Yin's expression. "Why should they search me? I just felt that it was unfair. They decided that I'm a thief just based on the little that they'd observed. Actually, searching me is no big deal, I just didn't want them to get their way!"

Qin Zhou smiled. "You have an unusually stubborn temper."

Liang Yin pursed her lips. She was aware of her own stubbornness.

"Why did you come to Bulgari?" Qin Zhou asked, feigning casualness.

Liang Yin shifted her gaze guiltily and stammered, "I was just bored and came to do some shopping!" Even as she said it, she sighed inwardly. In the end, she didn't manage to find a suitable pair of cufflinks for him. She was disappointed.

"I see." He smiled. "You will invite prejudice if you shop in Bulgari wearing what you're wearing. After all, these store assistants are very discerning. They can tell how much your clothes cost and where you bought them."

"There are also nouveau riche who dress more modestly!"

"Nouveau riche do not shop at Bulgari."

"Why?"

"Some of them aren't even familiar with Bulgari. They only know Chanel, Dior, Paris L'Oréal. And the more nouveau riche they are, the more they have to deck themselves with jewelry and dress up."

Liang Yin raised her eyebrows and said, "Well then! What can I do? I'm poor and people despise me."

The man looked at her silently and smiled.

"Are you free tonight?"
