It turned out that after Gu Tongwan left, Luo Mei sat at the cashier counter as instructed and watched the store. Before leaving, Gu Tongwan told her that she could take a short rest when it was not busy, but she must not leave the store. Luo Mei cherished this hard-earned job very much, so she sat upright at the counter and fiddled with the cash register system.

Luo Mei hoped to spend her first day at work in peace, but unfortunately someone happened to come and cause trouble at this time.

The people who came were indeed Ban Shuangshuang and her little sisters.

Since everyone who came to the store was considered a customer, Luo Mei couldn't possibly kick them out, so she could only sit in front of the cashier counter feeling a little uneasy and observe their every move.

To Luo Mei's surprise, Ban Shuangshuang left after buying the items. Instead, the two remaining girls stayed in the store for a long time. When they were checking out, one of them held an apple and shouted, "What kind of store is this? They're selling rotten apples? They're not shy about selling them. Aren't they cheating me?"

Because it was the peak period of customer traffic in the store, more and more people came to the store, and most of them were regular customers. When they heard this, they immediately turned their heads to look at the girl.

Luo Mei was also a little nervous at this time, and quickly stood up, "Impossible, our store never sells rotten apples, and I checked when I was tidying up the shelves just now, and there are no rotten fruits today."

"Nothing bad? Look for yourself, the core is rotten, and the outside is wrinkled. It's not fresh fruit at all." The skin of the apple in the girl's hand was indeed shriveled and lost moisture, the core of the apple was also black, and the freshly cut flesh quickly turned black due to oxidation.

Luo Mei frowned and picked up the apple to examine it carefully. Judging from the size of the apple, it was from the same batch as the apples currently on sale in the store. However, the apple in her hand seemed to have been left for a long time, and even the fragrance of the apple had turned into a pungent smell of rotting.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the rotten apple from a distance. It did look like the apple that had been sold from the store, but he didn't know why someone would bring it back to cause trouble.

Seeing more and more people whispering in the store, the girl became more confident and deliberately shouted, "Don't accuse me of deliberately framing you. You can see it by comparing it yourself. This apple is the one I just found on the shelf. There is more than one, there are several more. Go and see for yourself."

The other woman who came with the girl quickly picked up two more apples from the apple shelf, both of which were also shriveled.

"It's impossible to sell the good and the bad together. Who would be so stupid as to buy the bad ones?" Someone couldn't stand it and said something.

"That's why I said this is the most important thing. There must be something wrong with these apples. They became shriveled and black in such cold weather in a short period of time. If we buy the remaining good ones back home, who knows if they will also go bad? The last time I bought a snow pear here, it went bad after only half a day at home. At that time, I thought all fruits were like this, but they are simply not comparable to the fruits I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative at home. There must be something wrong with the fruits here."

This kind of guiding rhetoric can easily lead people to have a false sense of resonance. At this time, someone in the crowd immediately whispered: "I also bought cucumbers from here when the temperature did not drop. It seems that they really went bad after just a few days. I thought it was normal at the time. Now I think maybe it was really the problem of this store."

Facing more and more people's discussions, Luo Mei suddenly saw that the girl had a smug smile on her face. Just as she was about to open her mouth to continue her explanation, she suddenly thought of something and calmed down. Then she said calmly: "If that's the case, I won't explain. I'll check the surveillance first."

"Surveillance? What surveillance?" The girl opposite suddenly changed her expression, and immediately stepped forward with a frown to question.

Luo Mei pointed to an inconspicuous corner, next to which was a shaking fan heater. But if you look closely, you can see a black object behind the heater. That object was the surveillance camera that was reinstalled some time ago.
