At the height of the tension, the on-duty store manager walked out. The front desk sales clerk had just realized the situation was tricky, so she called for backup and stood before the manager to report.
The manager on duty today was named Fan Meili. "What's going on?" she asked with brisk efficiency.
The sales clerk, intimidated by her stern expression, immediately said, "Manager, that man who came in later started a conflict with our customer."
"We are a world-renowned brand, a century-old store. We must prioritize our customers. Just kick out the troublemakers." Fan Meili's words brooked no argument. "You only know to call me when there's trouble. Can't you handle a small problem like this?"
The reprimanded sales clerk was unhappy but didn't dare to talk back, instead directing her bitterness toward the instigator. "Manager, I'll go kick the troublemaker out right now."
