Chapter 3989: A Perfect Match (185)

The store manager fell silent.

“Very good.” Qin Zhou said politely, “Please call for your manager!”

“Our manager!?” The store manager replied, “Our regional manager had only just walked out.”

“I didn’t mean the regional manager.” Qin Zhou clarified, “Call for your mall’s general manager.”

“…”

The store manager said tactfully, “We don’t have that authority.”

Qin Zhou smirked. “Oh, I see.”

He immediately sent out a message on his cell phone. About ten minutes later, the general manager of the mall rushed over!

“Good grief, look at who we have here. CEO Qin! What brings CEO Qin to our mall?”

The store manager and the police officers were completely dumbfounded. Especially the store manager. Her mouth fell open so wide that it could undoubtedly fit an entire egg!

The big shot who in the past seemed so high and mighty in high level meetings, was actually bowing and scraping before this man? Who exactly was he?!

Qin Zhou was a man of few words. He only said, “My girlfriend was arrested as a thief when she was shopping at your mall. Now, your counter manager has requested a body search. What do you think?”

The general manager turned a little pale at that. He turned around and confronted the store manager. “What’s going on!?”

The store manager said obsequiously, “I suspect she stole an item and she’s got it on her. So I wanted to check her belongings…”

“She stole something?!” The general manager was dumbfounded. “Do you know who she is? She’s CEO Qin’s girlfriend. Does she need to steal? You’re kidding me!”

“But the sapphire ring disappeared after she touched it. It’s only natural for me to be suspicious!”

The store manager tried to excuse herself.

Qin Zhou appeared intrigued. “Well, isn’t she just being so human.” He then said leisurely, “It’s not that you can’t search her. If my girlfriend is a suspect, then she somehow has to prove her innocence. If it turns out that she did steal, I’ll take the responsibility and bear all the consequences, but if it turns out otherwise, the mall has to also give a reasonable explanation and compensation! Furthermore, you…” The man’s gaze fell on the store manager as he continued, “… you should get the hell out of my sight.”

His tone was flat, but there was an air of dignity about it. The store manager was nervous but unhappy to hear this. No matter how powerful he was, he was not the management staff of this mall. What right did he have to tell her to get lost!?

The general manager of the mall, however, knew that a ruthless person like Qin Zhou could not be offended. Hence, he quickly smiled and said, “Why would there be a need to search her? That’s making a mountain out of a molehill!”

“We’re not the ones making a big deal out of nothing.” Qin Zhou naturally was on the same side as Liang Yin.

Liang Yin remained silent. However, with Qin Zhou around, she felt inexplicably at ease! Even with Qin Zhou backing her up, she was compelled to explain, “I came to the counter with the sincere intention of buying some jewelry, but the service staff at the counter was obviously unwilling to serve me. I was about to leave when I was stopped. She said she suspected me of stealing. But I said I didn’t, and meant it. If I had really stolen, I ultimately won’t be able to get away with it. If something’s not mine, I shouldn’t take it. Even a child understands that.” After a pause, she continued, “Similarly, respecting another person’s character and dignity is a basic principle. Don’t you have that basic principle in your mall?”

This matter was basically a matter of human rights. The general manager of the mall did not dare to be negligent in handling this matter.
