Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 406 Closing the Store



Chapter 406 Closing the Store

After a while,

A strong gust of wind swept into the shop, and everyone looked towards the entrance. There, a helicopter was parked, its streamlined fuselage resembling a peregrine falcon. The deep-set windows could not conceal the luxurious interior, and the high-grade paint was adorned with a cloud pattern, elegant and mysterious.

A helicopter that looked expensive caused everyone in the store to stand up and lean out to look.

Soon, the helicopter's rotors slowed down, and a beautiful woman stepped out. Her hair was short, barely past her ears, and appeared quite thick; a purple jeweled crown neatly covered her dense locks. She wore low-heeled purple ballet flats and a purple gradient high-necked, ankle-length dress with a twelve-meter-long skirt layered with three different colored tulle layers, appearing light and airy like drifting clouds. Although it was a high-necked dress, the upper body wasn't stuffy at all, as the area above the chest and the sleeves were made of semi-transparent tulle. This design allowed it to subtly exude sexiness even without revealing any legs or vital parts. The most exquisite detail was the wisteria embroidery that started from the right shoulder and extended to the hem, adorned with pearls and sequins throughout. Combined with the amethyst necklace worn by the Duchess of Windsor, the entire look was exquisitely beautiful.

Everyone was stunned. Only when the beautiful woman got closer did they wonder if she had walked the red carpet to the wrong place.

It wasn't that Yu Ru wanted to dress like this. Since being with Yun Jixing, she had dressed up nicely every day, and this was just her everyday outfit. It wouldn't be convenient to dress like this before coming to deal with something, but time was of the essence. She was afraid that the two aunts would be beaten, so she rushed over without even changing her clothes.

"Boss!" The two aunties rushed to Yu Ru's side as if they had seen a savior.

At this moment, Yuan Juren looked up at the person who had come in. When he saw Yu Ru's appearance clearly, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He then lowered his head and continued eating.

Long-legged and Ru Youen, who had followed, flanked Yu Ru. Ru Youen stepped forward and addressed the troublemakers, saying, "Greetings, everyone. This lady next to me is the owner of this glutinous rice restaurant. I am her assistant and will be handling this matter on her behalf. Please state your demands."

The troublemakers exchanged bewildered glances. Seeing the man before them dressed in a perfectly tailored, impeccably pressed black suit, the collar of his white shirt gleamingly clean, and the tie tied with the precision of a work of art, they knew he was someone of considerable status. This realization, coupled with his composed demeanor, eroded their confidence somewhat.

No one answers that you have been kind to me.

Yu Ru remained silent, but she waved to the security guards, "Grandpas and uncles, you can go back to work at the elementary school. I'll handle things here."

The security guards, wary of troublemakers, cautiously made their way through them to Yu Ru. "Little sister, we'll be going now. Just call us if you need anything."

Yu Ru smiled and nodded, took a plastic bag from the long-legged man's hand, took out two packs of cigarettes, and stuffed them into the hands of the security guard in front of her. "Grandpa, thank you so much for coming to help this time. Otherwise, my two aunties would have been in trouble. Consider these two packs of cigarettes a thank you gift. You can take them home and smoke them."

After she finished speaking, she gave two more packs of cigarettes to each of the other two security guards.

After a few polite refusals, the security guards happily took the cigarettes and left.

"You're the boss, right?" The leader finally spoke. He stood up and walked up to Ru Youen, but stared at Yu Ru without blinking. "Do you know that our family opened the shop here first, and your family came later, but you've taken away all of our customers?"

Yu Ru nodded. "Then I'll close the shop."

Yu Ru had originally intended to close the shop; for her now, the income from running the shop was dispensable. Even if she slept all day, money would still flow in steadily. Her annual copyright fees exceeded ten million yuan, the money in the bank also earned her money, with monthly interest reaching millions, and her short video account, even without doing anything, brought in hundreds of thousands a month. With so much money, she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.

The leader was taken aback, not expecting Yu Ru to be so easy to talk to, and all the threatening words he had prepared were no longer needed.

“The core reason you came to cause trouble was to force me to close the shop. Now, as you wished, this shop will never reopen, and even if it does, it won't sell products that compete with yours,” Yu Ru smiled. “So, can you leave now?”

He had clearly achieved his goal, but the leader felt a strange surge of anger. He struck out with all his might, only to be swallowed by nothingness; all his force was softly dissipated. This clash between strength and softness made him feel deeply humiliated. It was as if he were a mere clown, all his ideas and schemes were nothing but child's play to the other party, completely ignored. He wanted to provoke her again, but couldn't think of a reason, so he just stared at Yu Ru without saying a word.

"Sir, our boss has closed the shop as you wished. Now please leave with your people. We will call the police later to assess the shop's losses, and you will need to compensate us accordingly," Ru Youen said coldly.

"Heh~" the leader sneered, "This is what you owe me. You want me to pay you back? No way. Go ahead and call the police."

After saying this, the leader left with his men.

Yu Ru closed the shop, gave the two aunties three months' wages, and sent them away.

When Yu Ru learned that the people from the fast food restaurant were causing trouble, she guessed that they must know some officials, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant. And it turned out she was right; they knew people at the police station. Calling the police was useless to them; the police would only try to smooth things over and wouldn't get involved.

That's alright, because Yu Ru has come up with a very wicked way to deal with them.

She printed a banner and hung it on the shop's door. The banner read, "Our shop has to close with tears in our eyes because of the harassment and damage caused by the owner of the fast food restaurant. We thank you all for your previous support. We hope to meet again someday."

In addition, she installed a large television screen above the shop entrance, which would continuously play the surveillance footage of the fast food restaurant staff causing trouble that day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Yu Ru thoughtfully blurred the faces of the two women and the security guard, while showing high-definition footage of everyone else. After some editing, she focused the surveillance footage on the fast food restaurant owner cursing at the staff and the shop assistants.
