Hearing these words, the two sisters let out a soft huff, but neither of them refuted Jiang Cheng.
It seemed both of them had accepted Jiang Cheng's excuse.
The two women felt that Jiang Cheng's words weren't entirely honest.
However, neither of them could bring themselves to feel any resentment toward him.
Furthermore, since they had met Jiang Cheng, he had indeed taken very good care of them.
When they were nearly finished eating and the three were preparing to leave, Wu Quan's phone call came through.
"Hello, Brother Quan."
On the other end of the line, Wu Quan heard Jiang Cheng call him that.
He hurriedly replied in a panicked tone, "Don't, don't, don't, Brother Cheng. Calling me that scares me. You should just call me Little Wu."
Having just solidified his relationship with the Twin Sisters, Jiang Cheng was in a very good mood.
"That's a bit of an exaggeration..."
If it were anyone else, Wu Quan could have accepted the address without any burden.
Although their families' wealth couldn't compare to those top-tier Second-generation rich kids in Magic City...
There are some things that money simply cannot solve.
If something truly happened, even those wealthy families would still have to lower their heads and come knocking on their doors.
It was just that, compared to businessmen, they were subject to certain regulatory constraints.
He laughed twice to smooth things over. "Please don't kill me with such kindness. You might dare to call me that, but I certainly don't dare to answer to it."
After the laughter, Wu Quan turned serious. "Right, Brother Cheng, I just received word. The preliminary investigation shows those three storefronts have indeed been mixing real and fake goods for a long time. Many customers have heard the news and are bringing in their previous purchase receipts to provide evidence. The specific amount of counterfeit sales is still being tallied. If the amount reaches the threshold, not only will they pay a fine, but the person in charge will have to spend a few years inside."
"Good, thanks. I'll treat you guys to a meal in a few days."
"Don't, Brother Cheng. You already helped us out big time last time; how could we let you spend more money?"
"Haha, we're all brothers, why the formality?"
Jiang Cheng's words warmed Wu Quan's heart, making him feel that Jiang Cheng was giving him a lot of face.
However, he knew clearly in his heart that he had to maintain his proper position in their actual interactions.
How could one take polite pleasantries seriously?
He was already in the weaker position; if he really tried to climb up the ladder just because of those words...
That would be a complete lack of discernment and awareness.
He laughed and accepted, exchanging a few more pleasantries before hanging up.
After hanging up, Jiang Cheng stood up.
By this time, the two women had already packed their belongings.
Jiang Cheng naturally reached out both hands.
His left hand took Si Qing's hand beside him, while his right hand held Si Nian's hand on the other side.
The two sisters were slightly startled. When their fingertips felt the warmth of his palm, they didn't resist at all. Instead, they quietly tightened their grip and let him lead them as they stood up.
Although the previous phone call wasn't on speakerphone...
The two of them were very close to Jiang Cheng, so they could still hear some of it.
The two sisters had been troubled for a long time by Lin Weiwei's overt and covert bullying.
It wasn't because they were weak...
But because there was truly no one to stand up for them.
Their family wasn't in Magic City.
In this vast Magic City, the two sisters only had each other to rely on.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought about resisting.
It was just that without background or connections, if things escalated after resisting, the final result would likely be a demerit from the school.
Little did they know that those who failed to get the university's attention and then exposed things online often had even worse outcomes.
The anger might be vented, but the final result for most was the same: being expelled under the pretext of damaging the school's reputation.
And when girls like them went to find the school Counselor...
The Counselor would only give a few lukewarm reprimands.
The next time Lin Weiwei encountered them, she would only insult them even more severely.
So even if they were bullied, they could only endure it in silence.
But they never expected that the bullying which seemed so distressing to them could be handled by Jiang Cheng with a single phone call.
It wasn't even a simple venting of anger; he had directly struck at the foundation of Lin Weiwei's family business.
For people from ordinary families like theirs, this kind of background and power provided a real sense of security.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the first floor.
Jiang Cheng had looked into this mall before. On the first floor, the daily rent per square meter was about 90 yuan.
So the rent for Lin Weiwei's family's three storefronts was roughly 10,000 to 13,000 yuan a day.
Every month, the rent was about 300,000 yuan, totaling over 3.5 million yuan a year.
So it was understandable why Lin Weiwei was a bit arrogant.
Again, if their family didn't have Lin Weiwei, perhaps once their capital reached a certain level, they would have started changing industries.
After all, from their previous capital accumulation, it could be seen that her parents had some foresight.
If they stopped doing illegal things then, all the capital they had accumulated would have been completely laundered.
The second half of Lin Weiwei's life really could have been that of a so-called Shanghai Socialite.
Not far after getting out of the elevator, they saw a circle of people gathered in front of the shop ahead.
There were even many passersby holding up their phones near the mall entrance, and the sounds of discussion could be heard from afar.
"This is the place selling fakes! The bag I bought last month wasn't even recognized when I took it to the boutique for verification!"
"Me too! I spent over thirty thousand on a necklace, and it started discoloring after just a few days of wearing it. When I asked for a refund, I was kicked out!"
"I heard someone reported them today, and the Industry and Commerce Bureau came directly to investigate. Let's see how they try to talk their way out of it now!"
