"Don’t speak too soon, or you’ll end up with a swollen face," Xu Ke said, half-smiling.

"Hmph, let’s see. Some people just won’t give up until they hit a dead end. Today, I’ll be kind enough to give him a lesson, to teach some people what it means to know one’s place," Miss Ding said, emphasizing the last four words heavily.

The atmosphere in the store became tense and filled with a sense of impending conflict, as if a world war could break out at any moment.

The store’s employees were so tense they didn’t dare to speak, all holding their breath, standing silently to the side, quietly serving as background scenery.

No one in the store expected Xu Ke would prevail; sure, he’s wealthy, but as Miss Ding said, just having money isn’t enough in Yunzhou—you also need power.

Perhaps it was due to the status of the involved parties, but the manager arrived quickly.

The manager was a mature woman about 30 years old.
