216 You Don’t Have to Pay for the Broken Bottle of Liquor
Brilliance KTV’s internal supermarket had a grand layout and a wide variety of snacks, drinks, and fruits… It had everything!
Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others were holding small baskets and choosing happily.
At this moment, a girl with two ponytails pointed at a bottle of Louis XIII and said, “Look at this bottle of liquor. The packaging is so special!
“Wow! My idol drank this liquor in a TV show!” another short-haired girl said excitedly.
As she spoke, she could not help but reach out and take Louis XIII off the shelf.
However, she accidentally dropped the liquor on the floor.
Crash!
Instantly, the liquor flowed all over the ground. The rich fragrance of the liquor spread throughout the supermarket.
A young woman dressed in white saw this and said, “The bottle is broken. This bottle of liquor doesn’t look cheap! You’ll have to pay for it!”
“This is Louis XIII. This bottle is probably worth at least 20,000 to 30,000.” The man beside the woman gloated.
When the short-haired girl heard this, her face immediately turned pale.
20,000 to 30,000 yuan?
She was already very fl.u.s.tered when she accidentally broke the liquor.
After hearing that it cost that much, she was even more fl.u.s.tered.
How could she have so much money to compensate?
At this moment, an attendant also heard the noise and quickly walked over.
When he saw the broken bottle and spilled liquor on the ground, he immediately stared at the short-haired girl as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Then, he pointed at the sign beside him that read, ‘If something is damaged, compensate according to the price’.
“This is Louis XIII,” he said. “The price is 28,888 yuan.”
Hearing this, the short-haired girl’s face turned even paler, and her entire body began to tremble.
28,888 yuan?
She could not afford it at all!
The man and woman who were not far away had mocking expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.
“This girl should still be a student. This is going to be a good show.” The woman sneered.
The attendant seemed to have seen through the girl’s ident.i.ty and said, “Hurry up and ask your parents to bring the money!”
Call her parents?
This was a compensation of 28,888 yuan!
Her parents would definitely beat her to death.
The short-haired girl began to tear up.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside.
The manager, Xu Song, who was wearing a suit and tie, also heard the commotion and walked over in large strides.
The attendants who pa.s.sed by greeted respectfully, “h.e.l.lo, Manager Xu.”
Xu Song merely nodded his head lightly as a form of greeting.
The attendant in the supermarket said, “Manager Xu, this girl broke our Louis XIII. We want her to compensate us now.”
Xu Song nodded again. In the next moment…
His pupils constricted.
He suddenly saw Lin Fan standing beside the girl.
Yesterday, Xu Song found out that Brilliance KTV had been transferred to a person called Lin Fan.
That night, Xu Song could not sleep all night.
It was because he did not know what kind of person his new boss was and whether he was easy to get along with.
Would the new boss suddenly fire him?
Therefore, Xu Song had been thinking about how he could meet this new boss and please him.
Xu Song did not expect to meet the new boss today.
Xu Song took a few quick steps and rushed in front of Lin Fan. He bent down and said in a respectful tone, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Lin.”
“Manager Xu?” Lin Fan replied. “h.e.l.lo.”
After a pause, he pointed at the short-haired girl and said, “This is my sister’s cla.s.smate. She accidentally broke a bottle of liquor in the supermarket.”
She broke a bottle of liquor in the supermarket?
The boss did not mention it was his supermarket.
It seemed like… the boss did not want to expose himself for the time being.
Xu Song’s eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the short-haired girl’s frightened expression.
Then, he said in a concerned tone, “Student, are you alright?
“This is just a fake bottle of liquor in our shop. It’s not the real Louis XIII. It’s not worth much, so you don’t have to pay for it.
“You weren’t hurt by the broken bottle, were you?”
As Xu Song spoke, he stole a glance at Lin Fan. When he saw Lin Fan nodding his head slightly, Xu Song could not help but be delighted.
His handling was indeed correct!
After the short-haired girl heard Xu Song’s words, the worry and fear on her face immediately dissipated.
However, she was still a little nervous. “I really don’t need to pay?”
As she spoke, she looked at the attendant carefully.
At this moment, the attendant was also a little stunned by Xu Song’s words.
Fake Louis XIII wine?
How was this possible?
Back then, he and another attendant had personally driven to the store to bring it back!
Why did the manager say that?
However, Xu Song completely ignored his reaction and said with a stern expression, “This is fake, right?”
The attendant was so frightened that he became serious and quickly said, “Yes, you don’t have to pay.”
Then, Xu Song said to the short-haired girl in a very calm tone, “Did you hear that?”
The short-haired girl nodded repeatedly, and her entire person gradually relaxed.
The young woman in white beside them curled her lips and said, “What? It’s actually fake!”
“Sigh, there’s no good show to watch,” the man said.
After the two of them finished speaking, they took the snacks they had bought and walked out in disappointment.
Zuo Jun, the girl with two ponytails, Lin Xiaoyao, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief.
When they returned to the karaoke room, they began to discuss.
“I was really scared to death just now,” the girl with ponytails said.
“Me too!” a boy said.
“28,888 yuan for a bottle of liquor? Heavens! Sell me,” Zuo Jun said.
“Fortunately, it was fake. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do today,” the short-haired girl said.
“However, the manager is quite good. If it was someone with a bad heart, they might have insisted that it was real,” the girl with the ponytails said.
“That’s right. In the future, if we want to sing, let’s come to Brilliance KTV!” A boy suggested.
Lin Xiaoyao tried to smooth things over. “Alright, alright. Just be more careful next time. Let’s sing quickly. The timer has already started.”
Thus, Lin Xiaoyao chose a song first and sang loudly with the short-haired girl.
Lin Fan listened to their song and frowned.
If one had to comment on it, it was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves.
However, it had to be said that after a series of wails and howls, everyone’s mood was much better. It was as if they had immediately forgotten all the unhappiness.
The atmosphere in the private room was extremely lively.
Everyone ran to the screen and began to choose their favorite song, ready to roar.
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
After a while, Xu Song slowly pushed open the door of the private room.
When the girl with the ponytails, the short-haired girl, and the others saw him again, their hearts tightened again.
They thought to themselves, ‘Could it be that this manager is going back on his word? Will he say that the broken bottle of liquor isn’t fake?
