The female manager's voice sounded a little weak, but she was very clear. She pointed at the old woman Chen Yunxia sitting on the chair, frowned and said: "I remember that she has been coming to our store every day since the weather got hot.

.”

"At first she didn't come often, just once or twice a week, and then it became every day. At the beginning, she was still walking around, seemingly looking at the furniture. Later she stopped looking and didn't move around.

Every day after I come here, I lie here for several hours."

Hu Pingtao asked attentively: "Where is she lying?"

The female manager turned around and walked to a big bed: "Here, there, and inside... In short, I can lie down wherever I feel comfortable. It's very casual, and it feels like she is at home."

There are several locations she pointed to, all of which are beds with bedding. Although the sizes are different, the common feature is that they are all cushioned, making them comfortable to sit or lie down on.

Yang Tiejun also calmed down at this time. He expressed his bitterness to Hu Pingtao: "It's not easy for me to open this store! It's hard to do business now. After one month, just rent, water, electricity and so on will cost a lot of money. This is not even

Plus the store staff’s wages.”

"When you open a store, you hope to make money. It's certainly a good thing to have customers come in. Whether you buy or not, I won't treat you differently."

"But what about her!" Yang Tiejun pointed at Chen Yunxia, ​​and his words were obviously a bit angry: "She comes here at one o'clock every day, lies on the bed, and sleeps until three o'clock in the afternoon, sometimes even four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

point."

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised: "Sleep here? In your shop?"

"Yes!" Yang Tiejun was afraid that Hu Pingtao wouldn't believe it: "I have surveillance cameras in the store and they are all recorded. You will understand when you look back."

Hu Pingtao turned his head and asked Chen Yunxia doubtfully: "You just said that your home lives nearby, why do you come here to sleep every day?"

The old woman rolled her eyes at him and did not explain: "You don't care, I can sleep wherever I like."

The female manager next to her couldn't stand it anymore, so she came closer to Hu Pingtao and explained in a low voice: "She did it to use the air conditioner. Our store usually turns on the cool breeze. She thinks it is comfortable here and refuses to leave after she comes."

Yang Tiejun also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes. I didn't understand it at first, but later the employee told me that it turned out to be the case. The weather has been very hot since the beginning of summer this year, and the air conditioner in the store

Turn it on to 22 degrees Celsius, and when the hot air comes in from outside, the two sides are just opposite each other, and the temperature is just right."

As he said that, he raised his hand and patted his forehead lightly: "Look at my memory, the heating is on now! Why am I sweating all over my body... Well, Xiao Liu, hurry up, go to the computer room and turn on the air conditioner.

Open it. It's so hot today...it's almost uncomfortable."

Hu Pingtao had almost understood the cause of the dispute. He smiled at Yang Tiejun and said, "You still turn on the air conditioner and heat in this weather... You did it on purpose, right?"

Yang Tiejun nodded repeatedly: "I was forced to do nothing by her. You said that you, an old lady, came to my store to find a seat to sit down. This is normal. As long as you don't hinder others, I won't kick you out. After all,

Everyone knows that I respect the old and love the young, and I will not be unkind to the rich. But she is good at it. When she comes, she lies down on the bed, sometimes even takes off her shoes, and snores when she falls asleep, which makes a lot of noise."

"I want to do business! When a customer comes, he sees someone sleeping here, and it feels like something. Let alone buying it, he doesn't even bother to look at it."

Hu Pingtao asked: "You mean you have already persuaded her?"

"You must persuade her!" Yang Tiejun said: "I called security several times because I couldn't do anything about her lying here. At first, I asked the little girl in the store to persuade her and ask her to be considerate.

Just sit somewhere else instead of lying on the bed. But not only did she not get up, she even scolded our staff."

"The scolding she made was very unpleasant." Yang Tiejun got angry when he mentioned this: "A girl in her twenties is not married yet! She just opened her mouth and kept calling people "sluts", "broken shoes" and what not."

"You can't lock the door if you open your legs." Officer, think about it, is this what a normal person would say?"

Hu Pingtao looked serious and asked Chen Yunxia: "Why do you curse?"

The old woman turned her head to one side, with no fear on her face: "I didn't scold him, he just said nonsense."

Yang Tiejun was anxious: "How can you lie without blushing?"

The female manager next to me was also angry: "Although Mr. Yang was not present when you cursed, I was! My colleagues were also there, and everyone heard it."

Yang Tiejun explained to Hu Pingtao: "I often run business outside, and the store is left to the people below to take care of it. I only heard about this later."

Hu Pingtao nodded and asked, "Didn't you say there is surveillance in the store? Was it recorded when she cursed?"

Yang Tiejun told the truth: "It was recorded, but the surveillance system I installed has no audio, and there is no sound."

The female manager interjected: "We called the security guard that day and asked her to leave, but she refused to leave. She also said that she was quite old and had heart disease and diabetes. If anyone touched her, she might suffer a cerebral hemorrhage or stroke.

...This sounds quite scary, so none of us dared to touch her."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and stared at the old woman, and said coldly: "I didn't see it! You are quite domineering. Why, do you think this is your own home, and you can do whatever you want?"

Yang Tiejun said frankly: "I came back late that day, and the employee told me about it, and I got angry. I stayed in the store the next day, and at noon, she came again. I went up and told her,

You are not welcome here, and you should not come here again. But she sat down directly at the door of the store, yelling that this was a black shop and told all the customers not to come in."

Hu Pingtao felt more and more surprised: "There is still such a thing? Did you call the police at that time?"

"The report was made more than two months ago." Yang Tiejun said: "The person who called the police at that time was a young man named Tan."

"Tan Tao?" Hu Pingtao asked.

"It seems to be her name!" Yang Tiejun replied: "I didn't care either. The police came at that time, made a record, and persuaded her to leave, but she came again the next day."

Hu Pingtao frowned and said: "Then you can continue to call the police! Our police will take care of this kind of thing, and no matter how many times you call the police, we will accept it."

Yang Tiejun rubbed his hands and looked a little confused: "It's not that it's troublesome to call the police, but...but...hey, I'm not very good at talking. You'll understand if you look at the surveillance camera."

With that said, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the screen, and handed it to Hu Pingtao: "This was recorded that day. I sent a copy of the video to my mobile phone."

The room on the surveillance screen is here, exactly where Hu Pingtao is standing at the moment. Most of the area in the furniture store is occupied by various beds, and dozens of people are crowded in the middle aisle. More than half of them are old men and women.

On the other side was the female manager Hu Pingtao had met. She led three security guards and several uniformed clerks to confront the old people.

The leader is none other than Chen Yunxia.

Yang Tiejun explained: "The day after I called the police, she came with a large group of people. She didn't say she wanted to cause trouble for me, she just walked around the store like ordinary customers, either looking for a place to sit or lying on the bed.

.Stay like this from noon to afternoon."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Are they deliberately interfering with your business?"

Yang Tiejun nodded: "They each guard their own position. As long as guests come, they will tell lies next to them. Why is the quality of the furniture here not good? The wood is all moth-eaten, black-core cotton, and the formaldehyde content in the paint exceeds the standard and can be poisonous.

Dead people...in short, just say whatever is unpleasant."

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Did you call the police?"

Yang Tiejun shook his head and sighed: "I don't dare to retaliate!"

As he said that, he pointed to the mobile phone in Hu Pingtao's hand: "Look here, this was taken around four o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, this group of people had already started a quarrel with our clerk. They kept saying that we were treating people differently.

Discriminating against the elderly and not allowing them to come in to rest. In this case, they will come every day from now on, as soon as we open the door early in the morning, to see how we do business."

Hu Pingtao looked serious: "Did you really say that?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Yang Tiejun shouted in frustration: "To be honest, I have seen big scenes, but I really can't do anything with these old guys. You say call the police, it's useless against these people.

"I understand that they didn't steal or rob anything, and the police can't arrest people for this. They didn't destroy anything in my store, they just stayed here and refused to leave."

"If they were younger, I would just ask the security guards to throw them out. But these people are old and we don't even dare to touch them! If they really suffer from heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage or something like that, it will be a big problem.

It’s hard to deal with it if you don’t have more than 100,000 yuan.”

Hu Pingtao understood this quite well: "So you didn't call the police or continue to chase people away?"

Yang Tiejun sighed: "It's really frustrating for me to be a boss. I really don't want to cause trouble, and I'm also afraid that something will come to me. Think about it carefully, isn't it just an old woman taking a nap in the store?

It's an air conditioner, so let her use it!"

Hu Pingtao was a little surprised: "Since you chose to be patient, why did you call the police again today?"

"There is really nothing we can do today." Yang Tiejun explained: "Isn't it that the provincial capital is currently "creating culture"? Last week, the sub-district office sent people to issue a notice asking us to improve hygiene, pay attention to the image of the store, and cooperate with the creation of culture.

Work. This is a good thing and I am willing to do it."

"I was busy purchasing goods in the past few days, so I had to postpone the sanitation work until today."

"Actually, sanitation in my store is very simple. I just mop the floor and wipe it with a rag. I asked the workers to take advantage of the lack of people in the morning to do the cleaning."

"She came again at noon. She started snoring as soon as she lay down on the bed. I didn't want to care about it, so I just let her go!"

"At around 12 o'clock, I got a call from the community, saying that the district leaders were coming to inspect the area and asked me to pay attention to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"This kind of inspection has been done before. It's not very formal. The leader just walks along the road, takes a look, gives some random instructions and then passes by. But maybe he will come to the store. If you see this old woman lying on the bed snoring, you will

Tell me what should I do?"

"I thought about it a lot and decided to expel him."

"Since she can't be pulled or touched, I can only find a way to let her go on her own."

Hu Pingtao understood completely now: "So you turned off the air conditioner and turned on the heating?"

Yang Tiejun nodded and said: "The reason why she comes to my shop to sleep every day and refuses to leave is because I have air conditioning here and it is comfortable to lie down. In this case, I will turn on the heating and directly adjust it to 30 degrees.

As long as she feels hot and can't sleep, she must leave!"

Hu Pingtao felt a little funny in his heart, but it didn't show on his face: "What happened next?"

"Later she woke up from the fever and started to curse." Yang Tiejun took a long breath and pointed at Chen Yunxia: "Old lady, I'm not telling you, you are really too much. You come to my store every day and lie down like this

, I won’t tell you how much business you have delayed. This year, I first asked someone to persuade you, saying that the superiors would come to check, and you should leave for a while and come back tomorrow. But you ignored it at all, so I asked someone to turn the air conditioner into heating.

"

"Do you want me to die on purpose?" Chen Yunxia didn't listen to the explanation at all. She had her own reasoning: "On such a hot day, you turned on the air conditioner to 30 degrees. What are you worried about?"
