Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 559
Chapter 559: Chapter 559 Complaint_1
When the voice rang out, all eyes turned to the entrance.
A young man in a black suit, followed by a group of security personnel, walked into the crystal exhibition hall.
The newcomer was Winona Leocadia, a member of the Leocadia Family branch, responsible for the entire exhibition.
Following behind him was Bran Cook.
“Young Master Leocadia, the man before you is the one who caused my disgrace!”
Bran Cook whispered into Winona Leocadia’s ear as he saw Julius Reed assaulting Thompson.
“Oh? What a coincidence?”
Winona Leocadia curved his lips slightly and said in a low voice, “Since it’s such a coincidence, it might be fate. Daring to cause trouble in our exhibition hall, today I will avenge you!”
Even though he and Bran Cook were not close friends, in Gonzalez City, Bran Cook was quite well-connected.
Without bottom lines, even willing to be a dog for Beckett Carmichael’s son, yet such people happened to be favored by the wealthy youth.
Winona Leocadia was merely doing a favor that went along with the current, just in case Bran Cook did climb high one day, he would retain a favor for himself.
“Thank you, Young Master Leocadia!”
Bran Cook felt exceptionally pleased inside.
Heaven indeed had eyes, this extremely arrogant Julius Reed actually dared to assault someone within the Leocadia Family’s crystal exhibition hall!
The inside was different from the outside; outside, if someone caused a disturbance, Itai Huntington would handle it, and it would be over.
Inside, however, represented the face of the Leocadia Family, and all the invitees were of distinguished status.
With his discernment, he could tell at a glance that the two young men being assaulted were not of ordinary status.
And Winona Leocadia was in need of an opportunity to prove himself; now that someone had walked into his line of fire, why wouldn’t he deal with it?
“Was it you who hit these people?”
Winona Leocadia, hands in pockets, slowly walked up to Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe.
The floor was a mess, many pieces of jade shattered into powder, scattered all around.
“Yes, what about it?”
Julius Reed glanced at Bran Cook and immediately a cold smile appeared on his face.
It seems that the newcomer was up to no good.
“What’s all this about?”
Winona Leocadia ignored Julius Reed and turned to the counter clerk instead.
This clerk had another identity.
Manager of the crystal exhibition hall.
“Manager Leocadia, these are products purchased by two customers, who smashed them after buying.”
The manager of the crystal exhibition hall replied truthfully.
After speaking, he handed the card payment receipt and sales record to Winona Leocadia, “Manager Leocadia, please take a look.”
“What?”
Winona Leocadia took them doubtfully and examined them closely.
The products of the crystal exhibition hall, the cheap ones cost tens of millions, the expensive ones easily amount to over a billion.
Hosting such an event in a small city like Gonzalez City, although many wealthy people were invited for a visit and shopping, the Leocadia Family members had low sales expectations for the products in the exhibition hall.
After all, they were too expensive.
The purpose of establishing the crystal exhibition hall was simple, to elevate the status of the Leocadia Family’s luxury goods.
Just raise the flagship luxury goods’ price, and the products below would naturally be marked up.
It would also create a brand effect.
Currently, the Leocadia Family was involved in jewelry brands, and their primary target was Bright-Sky International’s “Isle of Love.”
But before making their own brand known, in order to attract targeted customers, they had to sell the “Isle of Love” products first, while also promoting their own brand.
However, as Winona Leocadia looked at the sales records, his complexion grew more and more radiant.
In just a few dozen minutes, the exhibition hall had actually sold over four billion worth of products.
With such results, he was sure to be praised by the Leocadia Family’s higher-ups.
Already here to add luster to his career, he now found himself in unexpected good fortune.
After returning, he had basically secured a position at a key functional level, becoming one of the most powerful members within the branch.
“Who bought all these?”
Winona Leocadia approached the machine, confirmed that the debt had been accounted for, and couldn’t help but let a hint of joy surface on her face.
“It was the gentleman here and these two lying on the ground.”
The manager of the crystal showroom pointed at Julius Reed and the two on the ground, Thompson and Jack Lau.
“Impossible!”
At that moment, Bran Cook strode forward, sneering at Julius Reed, “How could he possibly accept an invitation from the Leocadia Family Members!”
During the short time he spent with Winona Leocadia, he had gained a fair understanding of the invited guests at the crystal showroom.
Certainly, one had to be wealthy and influential.
Measuring by wealth alone, the threshold was still too low and not conducive to sales.
But someone like Julius Reed had absolutely no qualification to come in!
“Then I must ask, Mr. Cook, have you ever received an invitation from the Leocadia Family Members?”
Julius Reed looked at Bran Cook with a smile.
Indeed, some people remember the favors but forget the slights.
Yet the fact that Bran Cook knew this person who seemed to be a high-level executive in charge for the Leocadia Family made Julius Reed take him more seriously.
It appeared that in the capital, Bran Cook still had a bit of a network.
Not entirely incompetent.
“I…”
“He’s my friend, and I am the manager of this event. Mr. Cook came with me; is there a problem with that?”
Winona Leocadia walked over to Julius Reed with a smile, pointing to the nameplate on her chest as she introduced herself, “My name is Winona Leocadia, the manager of this event. Do you have any other questions?”
As she spoke, Winona Leocadia couldn’t hide the pride in her eyes, and even when looking at Julius Reed, she looked down on him.
She was a member of the Leocadia Family, and her future was bright upon her return.
In her heart, she looked down upon a small-time thug from Gonzalez City.
At the same time, she was also very disappointed with Bran Cook.
The son of the esteemed Cook Family, with plenty of connections in the capital, how could he let such a person ruin his reputation?
It was simply too easily defeated.
“I have no problem, as for Mister Leocadia, I think it’s best to report your behavior of using public office for private gain.”
Julius Reed took out his phone from his pocket, went up to the manager of the showroom, and asked, “Excuse me, could you tell me the complaint number for your group? I’m a customer, and I’ve spent over twenty billion; I’d like to complain about the so-called manager here, that’s alright, isn’t it?”
“Of course.”
The manager of the showroom glanced at Winona Leocadia and pointed at the telephone number on the counter, “This is our group’s complaint number. You can call this number if you have any complaints.”
He had no way of refusing Julius Reed’s request.
Even if Winona Leocadia was the manager of this showroom.
The Leocadia Family took customer complaints very seriously.
If he didn’t give the complaint number to the customer today and word got out, he would be the first to be fired.
“Thank you.”
Julius Reed looked at the number on the counter, dialed it, and read it out loud as he did so.
“Wait a minute!”
Winona Leocadia’s face turned ashen. She took a deep breath and waved at Bran Cook, “You go out first and wait for me.”
The Leocadia Family placed great importance on the crystal showroom.
After all, it was about face and honor.
If they found out she had let people in on her own accord, she would definitely be punished.
At such a moment, Winona Leocadia could not afford to take that risk.
“Now, please state your name so that I can check if you are on the invitation list.”
She walked up to the machine and looked at Julius Reed with a cold gaze.
