A Santana followed by a large Jiefang truck, commonly used for deliveries, slowly pulled up in front of the Shenyang General Store outside the window.

Former customers were still crowding at the entrance, shouting and demanding refunds.

The beautiful store manager was dressed in her uniform as always, not a single strand of her hair out of place. She stood on the steps, holding a megaphone, neither shouting nor making a move, but she managed to keep the troublemakers from rushing up the steps.

When she saw the Santana stop, her eyes lit up slightly, and she breathed a soft sigh of relief.

She's really about to collapse!

Zhang Liang opened the door and got out of the car. The northwest wind whipped up his black overcoat, making it flutter like a flag.

Another person jumped out of the truck behind them. Chen Guangming, along with four tall and strong men, carried two huge boxes out of the truck.

They were busy moving things, and the truck doors weren't closed immediately. Someone saw that the truck was full of the same boxes.

The commotion here was quite loud, temporarily attracting the attention of the large group of people returning their goods.

Zhang Liang, expressionless, led his men through the crowd up the steps.

He first nodded to the store manager: "Thank you for your hard work."

Today's events happened too suddenly. They were going to work as usual, but before the morning meeting was even over, things started to escalate, and they didn't even have time to receive any instructions or calls.

The store manager looked at Zhang Liang as if he had found his pillar of support.

With the boss away, Liang Ge is someone you can rely on.

She was a little confused: "Brother Liang, is this a delivery?"

The boxes were indeed the cardboard boxes they usually use for deliveries, but today wasn't a delivery day.

Besides, who's in the mood to deliver goods these days?

The megaphone in her hand was still on, and although she wasn't speaking directly into her mouth, it amplified her voice several times over, reaching the ears of those nearby.

"You still dare to deliver goods? Your boss did such a shameless thing, and you still dare to sell them?"

"Exactly! She should be locked up in jail!"

"In earlier years, being drowned in a pig cage would have been considered lenient!"

Zhang Liang acted as if he hadn't heard what those people were cursing, and waved his leather gloves lightly at Chen Guangming.

Without saying a word, Chen Guangming opened the two boxes in full view of everyone.

There's nothing inside.

It's money.

Bundles of banknotes.

People who can't be persuaded by reason can be easily appeased by money.

Almost everyone instinctively looked at the large Liberation truck.

A 20-ton truck was completely filled with identical cardboard boxes. How much money must that be?

The store manager was also dumbfounded, staring at Zhang Liang in utter shock.

Brother Liang was just swaggering around with such a huge truckload of money?

Zhang Liang slowly put on his gloves, then took the megaphone from the store manager.

He cleared his throat and said without any pleasantries: "According to the warranty card policy of our company, goods can be returned unconditionally within seven days of purchase, provided that the goods do not affect resale; and within fifteen days, if there are quality problems, they can also be returned unconditionally."

"Due to the special circumstances today, some of the return policy requirements can be relaxed - returns are possible even without a warranty card."

"Now, customers who meet the return requirements, please line up in an orderly manner to avoid any safety hazards."

Zhang Liang's tone remained calm throughout. His composed demeanor finally put the minds of the shop assistants behind him at ease, who had been on edge all morning, and they straightened their backs considerably.

The people below the steps looked at each other, each wanting the other to speak first.

Of these people, 99% didn't know who Lin Ting was, and they didn't really care how many men she had been involved with.

They are not the moral exemplars they claim to be; they just want to take advantage of the situation.

Look at the clothes they're holding; autumn clothes are rare, most of them are summer clothes.

If you return clothes that you've worn all summer, isn't that like wearing them for nothing all summer?

It sounds like a great deal.

But now, more than ten "fifteen days" have passed since the summer clothes were launched.

If you don't gain any advantage, you've already lost out; if you lose a lot, you've lost a huge amount.

From the crowd, someone mustered up the courage to shout: "Your boss did such a shameless thing, and you still dare to use the warranty card as an excuse? Get a refund right now! Get a refund!"

When someone takes the lead, others will chime in.

Zhang Liang had no patience to give them time to pull and shout. As someone who had undergone rigorous training and practiced reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance many times, he immediately identified the first person to speak.

Pointing at the man hiding in the crowd with his gloved finger, Zhang Liang's voice was no longer as calm as before; it was chilling: "Sir, you need evidence to speak. Do you have any evidence to show that our CEO Lin has ever done anything unethical?"

Hiding in the crowd and being singled out are two completely different feelings. The guy unconsciously shrank his neck, then realized what he had done and quickly straightened his back: "The newspapers all wrote it! How could it be false?"

"A newspaper?" Zhang Liang sneered. "Which media outlet published the report? China Daily or CCTV News?"

The man's mouth was half-open, too embarrassed to refute.

What could he say? That the newspaper used to print erotic articles?

Zhang Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Just as he was about to say a few words to the store manager, his mobile phone rang.

Zhang Liang turned to answer the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Lin Ting's voice: "Brother Liang, notify all stores and distributors that all goods sold within one month can be returned unconditionally and refunded in full."

Zhang Liang remained silent.

The boss found out as expected.

“Okay, I’ll notify them now,” Zhang Liang replied.

"Okay, don't throw away the returned clothes, put them in the warehouse first, I need them."

Zhang Liang glanced at those people, then went into the store and said, "Boss, those who come to return goods are just trying to take advantage of the situation. The things they return probably can't be reused."

Once you offer unconditional returns, he knows without a doubt what kind of item will be returned.

Lin Ting chuckled: "It's only useful when it's broken."

Zhang Liang couldn't figure out what Lin Ting was trying to do for a moment, so he just said, "Okay, I understand."

"How's things at home?" Lin Ting asked again.

“With Master Wang keeping things under control at the factory, no one dares to believe it, let alone strike. Everything is fine at the school too; Director Zheng and Teacher Yan are still here, and everything is as usual.” Zhang Liang glanced back at Chen Guangming outside. “However, I had the construction site temporarily shut down for a day and assigned some people to help with errands.”

"Also, I sent Xiaoqian and the others to your neighborhood, so your parents' safety won't be a problem."

Zhang Liang arranged for extra people to temporarily act as security guards at factories, schools, and even his family's handicraft factory.

These construction workers were all strong and sturdy; although they hadn't trained, they were still quite capable.

Chen Guangming once thought Lin Ting was a big boss, but not long after this misunderstanding was cleared up, they actually started guarding the mountain and protecting the village.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Ting felt relieved.

After a pause, she reassured Zhang Liang, who had been working so hard: "Brother Liang, this hurdle will definitely be overcome in a week at most."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile. He exhaled the breath that had been pressing on his chest, feeling as if the burden that had been weighing on him had been taken away by Lin Ting, and all he had to do was follow orders and carry out tasks.

"Boss, besides returns, what else can I do?"

Lin Ting earnestly instructed, "Mongke hasn't been home for quite a while. Remember to visit your mother when you have some free time. She has her check-up this week, don't forget."

Lin Ting brought up something that was completely unrelated to the present moment and could even be temporarily ignored.

Zhang Liang paused for a moment, then his smile grew even wider.

"Okay, I'll go as soon as I finish this."
