Chapter 36

At this moment, Mr. Hou stood in the school's reception room, watching a person wearing a baseball cap and a pair of oversized sunglasses slowly approach. Although he couldn't see the person's face, he recognized the figure and the distinct aura that was completely different from the students around him. He knew this person must be Jia Hongjian.

As Jia Hongjian walked closer, he continuously drew the attention of the people around him. Countless teachers and students looked curiously at this person who had almost his entire face covered. "Who is this person?" "It must be Jia Hongjian, right?" "Why is he covering his face?" "He's just trying to look cool." "Hmph, but he does look a bit cool..."

Before Jia Hongjian could enter the reception room, Mr. Hou hurriedly went out to greet him, like Cai Yong welcoming Cai Wenji. "Jia classmate, I didn't contact you before coming, and if I have disturbed your studies, I apologize in advance. This time, I have come to deliver the compensation for the counterfeit products. After yesterday's incident, I and the management team of the mall held an emergency meeting and decided to strictly investigate the issue of counterfeit products in the mall. All the employees, upon learning about the incident, expressed their indignation and volunteered to help with the investigation. After an overnight investigation, we found that this incident of counterfeit products was purely the personal act of Li Yunliu. He boldly bypassed the purchasing department and privately placed counterfeit products on the mall's display. Before coming here, I and the management team have already punished the relevant responsible persons. Li Yunliu and his protector, Yang Minxiong, have been officially dismissed from our Ziyun Mall..."

At this point, Mr. Hou saw Jia Hongjian's indifferent expression and immediately bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle: "The appearance of counterfeit products in our Ziyun Mall has shocked our management team. Here, I represent all 356 employees of Ziyun Mall to sincerely apologize to Jia classmate."

The photographers who had been waiting for a long time quickly took out their cameras to take photos, and the flash of the cameras almost made people unable to open their eyes. The surrounding teachers and students were amazed at the scene. They never expected that a consumer who bought counterfeit products in a mall could receive such treatment. In the past, when they bought counterfeit products, they were always passed around from one department to another in the mall. How could they have such a cool experience like Jia Hongjian? Look, even the mall's general manager came to apologize in person! And there were journalists to witness it!

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Jia Hongjian nodded, accepting Mr. Hou's apology. "Yes, yes, look at me, talking non-stop here. Come, come, Jia classmate, please..."

Seeing Mr. Hou's demeanor, Jia Hongjian shook his head. If he had known that he would have to be so humble now, what should he have done earlier? It would have been better to supervise the counterfeit products in the mall earlier. Even if he couldn't supervise, he could have educated his subordinates better. Look at the people under Mr. Hou, Li Yunliu even tried to hide a recorder to frame Jia Hongjian!

After entering the room and sitting down, before Jia Hongjian could speak, Mr. Hou took out a stack of 100-yuan bills and said very politely, "We have confirmed that the Sony calculator Jia classmate bought is indeed a counterfeit. So today, we have come to deliver the compensation. Here is the 1560 yuan you paid for 13 pairs of headphones, and here is the 1560 yuan compensation according to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, totaling 3120 yuan. Jia classmate can count it..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian smiled and took the two stacks of money. He and Wang Danqing spent 1000 yuan to buy 13 calculators, which were priced at 80 yuan each, but the invoice was for 120 yuan each. Now, Mr. Hou was clearly calculating based on the invoice price, so he gave 3120 yuan instead of 2000 yuan.

In general, if ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely praise Mr. Hou and treat him like a wise ruler who had eliminated the corrupt officials. But Jia Hongjian was different. He had been reborn from 2012, and in that era, merchants were learning from international companies to improve service quality. Jia Hongjian knew very well that consumers were treated like gods!

As Jia Hongjian counted the money, the teachers and students outside the reception room were shocked. They stared with wide eyes at the stack of 100-yuan bills. A hundred yuan was a lot of money! An ordinary teacher's monthly salary couldn't even buy one 100-yuan bill! Jia Hongjian had just received such a "thick stack"! It was equivalent to three and a half years of a teacher's salary!

After Jia Hongjian finished counting the money, Mr. Hou took out another small stack of bills. "In addition, here is 1000 yuan as compensation for the mental distress. Our two former employees treated Jia classmate, who legally came to claim compensation, so rudely, which is truly shameful for our mall. Therefore, our management team decided to express our apology with this 1000 yuan. Of course, the damage Jia classmate suffered cannot be compensated with just 1000 yuan..."

Mr. Hou was very good at speaking. If he were dealing with an ordinary person, he would definitely have convinced them and made them praise the Ziyun Mall. But who was Jia Hongjian? A big villain! Jia Hongjian took the 1000 yuan, looked at Mr. Hou, and suggested, "If it's compensation for mental distress, then could Mr. Hou write a statement? It should state that this 1000 yuan was not requested by me but was voluntarily given by your mall. If Mr. Hou is willing to write this, I can also write a statement saying that this incident of buying counterfeit products is now over, and I will not seek any further compensation for any reason related to this incident in the future."

Mr. Hou was stunned. He never expected Jia Hongjian to be so calm at this moment! In his impression, the people of this era, when they saw the media and the mall's sincere apology and compensation, would never think about writing statements or guarantees.

Jia Hongjian, who looked like a 15-year-old, was so calm in front of the media and Mr. Hou's sincere apology, and he even thought about getting a statement! This was too extraordinary!

Of course, it was extraordinary! Jia Hongjian knew that in his previous life, a fake product whistleblower in Sichuan was framed by several manufacturers and sent to prison after receiving money. He couldn't let this possibility happen again. And in 2012, in an era where people were as shrewd as monkeys, writing mutual statements to prevent future disputes was very common! Even in a minor car accident, both drivers could write mutual statements to avoid liability!

Mr. Hou slowly extended his thumb. No matter how he felt about Jia Hongjian deep down, one thing was certain: Jia Hongjian was indeed smart and thorough, leaving no room for any future issues.

Jia Hongjian originally thought he would drag things out to get revenge on Ziyun Mall, but now that they were willing to pay more to settle things and had such a good attitude, he was willing to let them off. After all, the main culprits, Yang and Li, had been dismissed. After writing the statements, Jia Hongjian exchanged them with Mr. Hou and shook hands in front of the photographers, indicating that the matter was now over.

When he came out of the reception room, he saw hundreds of teachers and students looking at him with bright eyes. No one had ever seen someone make so much money in one go! Without Jia Hongjian saying anything, the crowd automatically made way for him.

This treatment made Jia Hongjian feel like a celebrity. He walked slowly out of the crowd without a smile, acting as if it was completely normal, leaving a trail of legends behind him...

"Wow, so cool..." "So strong..." "So good at making money..." "If my future boyfriend could be like Jia Hongjian, that would be great..." "So cool, just like a celebrity..." "Yes, I also think he looks like a celebrity, that aura, wow..."

Zhou Rihan was about to go to the small store at the school gate to buy something. As she walked out of the dormitory area, she saw a crowd gathered at the school gate's reception room. She didn't show any interest and continued walking at her usual pace. However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed someone walking out of the crowd. The person was wearing a baseball cap and a pair of large sunglasses and was walking unaffected by the crowd.

She retracted her gaze and continued walking to the store as if she hadn't seen anything. But a few seconds later, she suddenly paused because she realized that the person in the sunglasses looked very familiar, especially like that guy who had mysteriously told her he was also in Class 5!

Thinking about it, she slightly turned her head to observe the person walking like a celebrity. She carefully examined the person's figure and walking posture, and the more she looked, the more she felt it was that guy named Jia Hongjian. She estimated that in about ten seconds, they would pass each other.

"This pretentious guy will definitely greet me..." Thinking this, the ice queen Zhou Rihan retracted her gaze and continued walking as if she hadn't seen Jia Hongjian.

The distance between them grew closer. Zhou Rihan was waiting for him to greet her, and then she would pretend not to see him and walk past. But as they got closer, she noticed that he had no intention of greeting her. Even her peripheral vision saw that the man was even cooler than her, as if he hadn't even looked at her!

When they passed each other, Jia Hongjian didn't look at Zhou Rihan, and Zhou Rihan didn't look at Jia Hongjian.
