Chapter 62: Failure to Take Advantage of
Jiang Qingshou comes out of Qian’s shop. He smells a rat and feels something wrong. He has cooperated with manager Qian for so many years and they know each other well. How could he frankly agree to give up the five taels of silver?
Five taels of silver, though not too much, is still a sum of money!
Why on earth is this?
The more Jiang Qingshou thinks about it, the more confused he is. He hurriedly walks back to his own shop.
It is a time of sunset. When Jiang Qingshou returns, Jin Xiaoyan is cleaning up the remaining pork in the shop. She looks up and finds her husband comes back. Looking at her, she feels his depression clearly.
“What’s the matter? You have sent the meat to manager Qian, right? Why do you come back unhappily? Is manager Qian urging you to pay back the money? ”
Besides money, Jin Xiaoyan doesn’t know what else can make Jiang Qingshou depressed like this.
“Yan, manager Qian is different today? He usually pays much attention to money. But today, he doesn’t care about that five tales of silver at all.”
After hearing this, Jin Xiaoyan stays silent for a moment. Thinking of Jiang Qingshou’s words, she remembers the greedy face of manager Qian. It is true that he is a greedy man who won’t let them go easily with that five taels of silver.
What happened?
“Qingshou, what did manager Qian say?”
Jiang Qingshou then tells everything that has happened at manager Qian’s restaurant this afternoon.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“What? Jin Weiwei asked manager Qian to help her find a shop?”
When it comes to Jin Weiwei, Jin Xiaoyan is anxious.
Jin Weiwei has changed so much, and she has to believe that her niece is not stupid now.
“I didn’t believe it at the beginning. The more I think about it, the more I feel strange. Why manager Qian agrees to that? He’s waiting for the money to double!”
Jiang Qingshou finally understands manager Qian’s intention and is very angry. Manager Qian is absolutely the most unscrupulous businessman.
“No way. We have to guard against manager Qian. I’ll finish the work soon. Qingshou, take this half of pork back to the warehouse. We need to go to Qian’s shop one more time tonight.”
After that, Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou busily do their work. If Jin Weiwei opens a shop in the county, their business will be falling rapidly.
The attitude of the Qian family is a case in point. Besides, Jin Weiwei hates them so much, and will get them into troubles in the future.
Finishing all, the two go out without having supper. After all, it is closely related to their business, and they must make their great efforts.
When they arrive at the shop, manager Qian has just turned out the light and locked the door. He is leaving.
This time they need to explore secretly, so they can’t let manager Qian see them. Jiang Qingshou drags his wife behind the tree and even dares not to breathe.
Manager Qian carefully protects his pocket, which seems to carry a lot of silver. After all, the county and the village are quite different, so he must be careful.
He walks to the west of the county town. Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou follow manager Qian cautiously and closely.
Manager Qian walks to a shop with a transfer notice at the door, touches his pocket, and walks in with ease.
“Yan, why manager Qian comes to this shop? Is he really helping that cunning girl……If so, it will be terrible! ”
The reason why manager Qian didn’t agree with Jin Weiwei before is not the friendship between him and Jiang. In fact, he is just afraid that if he suddenly cuts off the supply of goods, it will affect his own business.
And now, if Jin Weiwei opens her shop in the county, manager Qian will definitely stop Jiang’s supply without hesitation.
The location of this shop is at Wangpu street. This location can promise a prosperous business of any sort.
“No way! No way at all. Jiang’s butcher shop has been in business in this county for so many years. Our business can’t be ruined by Jin Weiwei. Let’s go in and discuss with the shopkeeper when manager Qian comes out. We’ll rent the shop, no matter how much it will cost. ”
It’s obvious that Jin Xiaoyan has a longer-term vision than Jiang Qingshou. If manager Qian rents this shop, their business won’t have a long way to go.
Jiang Qingshou frowns. It seems to be the only way they could choose.
Though Jiang Qingshou agrees with Jin’s opinion, but to rent another shop will cost a lot. He is unwilling to pay so much money.
“Wait. Do you have a plan with the new shop? If we rent it, we can’t regret. The money we pay can never come back. ”
Jiang Qingshou is anxious with the expenses of renting shop. After all, the shop owner would not agree with a rent of only three or two months.
But if they rent for a year, it will cost dozens of tales of sliver.
Jin Xiaoyan hasn’t decided, either. But she knows that if she loses this opportunity, their butcher shop would face a crisis.
It is worth spending the money now if it can ensure a peaceful life in the future, isn’t it? “Qingshou, let’s talk about it later. Now the most important thing for us is to prevent the cunning girl from opening her shop successfully. Be quiet. Manager Qian is coming out right now. Go in quickly and talk to the shopkeeper. ”
Just after manager Qian leaves the shop, Jin Xiaoyan pushes Jiang Qingshou following her.
When manager Qian goes away, they quickly get into the shop. They don’t know this shopkeeper before, so they explain their intention directly.
“Shopkeeper, did the fat man just come to rent your shop?”
It’s easy to talk with unfamiliar people purposefully, so Jin Xiaoyan asks directly.
The shopkeeper before her is a glib man, and seems not easy to cajole.
“Yes, what’s the matter? Anything I can help? ”
“Shopkeeper, we two saw the sign at your door, and come in to rent your shop.”
Although Jiang Qingshou is reluctant to rent a shop, there is no other choice for them.
The shopkeeper finds it strange. He hung the notice half a month ago, but no one came. What’s the matter today? People all come to visit?
Thinking it over, he regrets. But it’s useless, he has already signed the contract.
Five years. Ordinary people can’t afford to rent his shop so long.
“I’m sorry, I don’t need to talk about renting my shop any more, because I just rented this shop out, and he has paid a hundred taels of deposit and signed a contract. I can’t help you even if you pay a higher price.”
