Kathy Chow Hoi Mei has been focusing on the mainland Chinese market in recent years. While purchasing flowers in Beijing the day before, Kathy had a disagreement inside a flower shop. Kathy was pushed roughly and hit on the back of her head. Luckily she did not sustain any serious injuries. One version of the incident is that the flower shop owner wanted to charge an extra $25 for wrapping a bouquet that only cost $300 yuan. Allegedly Kathy felt that the fees were too expensive and was about to go to another floral shop. Reportedly, the flower store owner grew angry, citing that the bouquet was already wrapped. At that point, Kathy was surrounded by 4-5 people and allegedly she was slapped in the face several times. Due to varying versions of the incident circulating, Kathy decided to clear things up on her own blog site. Her entry was entitled, "Flower Shop Horrors." On that day, Kathy had gone into a flower shop to buy a bouquet for a friend. When the owner showed her the bouquet, she was dissatisfied with it, since the stems were not cut properly. She was about to head to another floral shop, since she was on a tight work schedule. Kathy did not expect to be surrounded by 4-5 people blocking her exit. Kathy felt very afraid, as the owner said that she was not allowed to leave unless she purchased the flowers. One man also held onto her purse and wouldn't let go. Luckily Kathy's chauffeur was waiting for her outside and came to her rescue. Kathy was stunned and thought there must have been a misunderstanding. When she noticed the store employees stepping aside, she quickly exited the store. However, when Kathy approached her car, one of the store employees rushed out of the shop and blocked her path, pushing her against the car. Kathy could not withstand the situation anymore and wanted to shrug the man aside. However in the struggle that resulted, Kathy was hit on the back of her head by someone. Kathy called the police and a simple police report was filed. The incident was classified as a misunderstanding and both parties came to an agreement. Kathy felt that this incident may have resulted due to cultural barriers. In the future, she will communicate more clearly when purchasing items to make sure this type of incident will not be repeated. When news of the flower store incident spread, many of Kathy's friends called, expressing their concern. She does not hope to create unnecessary tabloid sensation with these type of incidents.
