Chapter 202 She was so angry
Mengli listened to him mention these brands and prices.
She doesn't really know much about cosmetics.
However, she was familiar with brands like Lancôme and Givenchy, and these items were indeed not cheap.
She thought about it for a moment and realized that what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
These high-end cosmetics and equipment are indeed very expensive.
But even if you add all of these together, it shouldn't be enough to cause an initial increase of 120,000, right?
What made Mengli even more uncomfortable was what the manager had said earlier.
He said that most young girls nowadays are quite open-minded.
This sentence sounds awkward no matter how you look at it.
Is there anything wrong with her choosing a conservative and sweet style?
She likes to dress neatly and cleanly, and doesn't want to expose too much; it's her own choice.
Why should she be implied as out of touch with the times just because she doesn't want to wear revealing clothes?
Mengli became increasingly convinced that there was something wrong with this boy.
She took a deep breath, looked at the manager, and finally spoke:
"How about this, see if you can lower the price a bit. If it's around 120,000, I might consider it. 200,000 is really too much."
After hearing Mengli say this, the manager's eyes darted around.
He did not directly answer the question of whether Mengli could lower its price.
He glanced down.
His gaze fell on the bag that Mengli had placed on the dressing table.
A set of car keys was hanging from the zipper of that bag.
The manager looked at the set of car keys and a very shrewd smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Mengli and said:
"Miss Mengli, look at the clothes you're wearing today, and the bag you're carrying. It's obvious that your family is very well-off."
He held out his hand and pointed to the set of car keys:
"And that bunch of keys hanging on your bag, if I'm not mistaken, they're Aston Martin keys, right?"
"Although I'm not sure which model it is, you're probably still in college at your age, and to be able to afford an Aston Martin means your family's financial situation is definitely not ordinary."
The manager looked into Mengli's eyes, his tone becoming very direct:
"In that case, even if the price increases by 120,000 yuan, it's just a small amount of money for you, isn't it?"
Hearing his words, Mengli was immediately very unhappy.
She felt that this guy was completely opportunistic and only treated people differently based on their status.
Seeing that her car keys were an Aston Martin, they assumed she was from a wealthy family.
Then I felt I could ask her for whatever price I wanted.
This behavior disgusted Mengli.
But what made Mengli feel even worse was what the manager said next.
His tone suddenly turned very cold:
"However, I need to make something clear to you beforehand. The 50,000 yuan deposit you paid earlier is non-refundable if you choose not to proceed now."
Mengli was stunned when she heard this.
She looked at the manager in front of her.
She noticed that the gentle, handsome smile on his face had completely disappeared.
Instead, he wore a very cold, even threatening expression.
He just stared at Mengli without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, the manager turned his head.
He waved to the few staff members who were busy working in the studio.
He said in a very loud voice:
"You can all leave now. I need to speak with the client privately."
The staff members exchanged glances after hearing what the manager said.
Then they very quickly put down what they were holding and walked out of the studio one by one.
The door was closed from the outside.
Only Mengli and the manager remained in the entire studio.
As Mengli sat in the dressing chair, she clearly sensed that the atmosphere around her had suddenly become very different.
The man asked everyone to leave.
Only the two of them were left here.
Mengli understood perfectly well what his purpose was in doing this.
He was putting pressure on himself.
He just wanted to tell her that if she didn't accept the price increase, she wouldn't get her 50,000 yuan deposit back, and he couldn't do today's service.
Although Mengli is shy, she is definitely not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated.
Her mother, Zhang Ruoran, is such a strong woman; she watched her mother grow up from a young age.
They've already started to take advantage of her, how could she possibly tolerate it?
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
Mengli stood up from the dressing chair.
She turned around to face the manager.
Her expression turned very serious.
She looked into the manager's eyes and said very clearly:
"You must refund this deposit to me today."
"Since you can't meet my needs, I certainly have the right to get my deposit back. It's a very simple principle."
Mengli's voice wasn't loud, but every word she spoke was very clear and firm.
The manager stood opposite Mengli and listened to what she had to say.
He wasn't angry.
He simply tilted his head very slowly.
Then, the corners of his mouth turned up.
He smiled.
But this smile is completely different from the one before.
His smile used to be gentle and made people feel comfortable.
The smile on his face now looks very sinister, making people feel uneasy.
He looked at Mengli and said very slowly:
"I've been in this line of work for many years. I've seen plenty of wealthy girls."
"But to be honest, no one has been able to get their deposit back from me yet."
He took a step forward, getting a little closer to Mengli.
He continued:
"As you know, a deposit—it's already called a deposit—so how can it be refunded?"
"Once something is in my hands, how could I possibly give it up so easily?"
"This is perfectly reasonable and legal."
Mengli stood there, looking at the man's sinister smile.
She was so angry that her head was trembling.
She knew perfectly well that what the man was saying was complete nonsense.
There is no legal provision stating that a deposit cannot be refunded once it has been paid.
It's because their service couldn't meet her requirements, and they had to raise prices at the last minute.
In this situation, the deposit should certainly be refunded to her.
But that's where the problem lies.
Mengli did not study law.
Although she knew in her heart that what the other person said was wrong, she didn't know how to refute him using legal language.
She stood there, racking her brains for a long time, but couldn't find a single powerful word to shut the man up.
Her hands were clenched into fists.
Her fingernails were almost digging into the flesh of her palms.
She felt she had never felt so helpless before.
She felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.
She just wanted to take a nice set of photos.
She spent 50,000 yuan to book the service in advance, made preparations beforehand, and changed into a nice outfit before coming over.
When she arrived, the other party first showed her various revealing photos.
After she refused, the other party immediately raised the price from 80,000 to 200,000.
After she refused to spend the extra 120,000 yuan, the other party told her that the deposit was non-refundable.
Then they kicked everyone out of the house, leaving her alone there.
Mengli was standing in this studio when she felt her eyes getting hot.
It's not because I'm afraid.
It's because of anger.
She was furious.
at the same time.
It's directly opposite Cats Square.
On the rooftop of another commercial building.
A man in a black suit was squatting on the edge of the rooftop.
In front of him was a very professional surveillance system.
He is the third son.
The third brother, wearing headphones, clearly heard all the conversations that had just taken place in the studio through the equipment.
He heard the silver-haired boy say those words to Mengli in a very cold tone.
He also saw in the surveillance footage that Mengli was standing there alone, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes red.
The third brother took the earphones off his ears.
He stood up.
His face was expressionless.
He calmly put one hand into his suit pocket.
His fingers touched the round button inside the pocket.
Then, he pressed down hard.
A blue light flashed across the rooftop.
The next second.
The third brother vanished without a trace from the rooftop.
