Chapter 174 Inquiry

Cao immediately regretted it, but then said, "It's okay. These kids come here every day. If they want to ruin our shop's reputation and damage our business, they will probably come again tomorrow. When the time comes, we must catch them and ask them who is the black-hearted one who did such a shameless thing."

"Even if we catch those kids and ask them about it, I'm afraid they won't admit it."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "I guess they will just say that children's words cannot be trusted, saying that he offended those children, so those children came to ruin his reputation. They may even say that we have a grudge against him and specially instructed those children to frame him."

"If this matter really gets out of hand, everyone will know about it, and we may not be able to gain any advantage from it. Instead, the fact that there is a little devil in this shop will be known to everyone, and our shop will be almost finished by then."

Cao's expression suddenly changed.

That's true. This person can deliberately do such a thing. It is not impossible for him to bite back later.

If it really gets out of hand, it won't matter if there is no result, but if it makes other people afraid of the shop and they don't dare to buy things, then

"Then, what should we do..." Cao's face suddenly turned bitter: "Just let others make trouble behind our backs?"

Not to mention that this has really affected business, it’s also hard to swallow this humiliation.

"Of course not, we just have to find the person quietly and then think of a way to deal with him." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just continue selling things, I will find a way."

"What if those children come again?" Cao was worried that if those children came again tomorrow, he might not be able to control the rolling pin in his hand.

"If they don't come tomorrow, that's fine. If they do, just ignore them."

"Ah?" Cao was a little unbelievable.

Since he was sent here to cause trouble, why did he just ignore it? Zhuang Qingning smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Don't worry, auntie, I have a way, you guys go ahead and do your work, Qingsui, you help auntie and Qiuying here first, I'll go out for a while."

"Okay." Zhuang Qingsui nodded and watched Zhuang Qingning leave the shop.

Then someone came to buy something, and the three of them got busy.

"Mom, this is no small matter. Are we going to let Sister Ning handle it alone?" Zhang Qiuying asked with some concern, "Should we also find someone to help?"

For example, Fu Shun Building or something like that.

Zhang Yongchang has a good relationship with Zhuang Qingning. If he knew about this, he would definitely be willing to help.

They have been in the town for a long time and have many friends. Not only do others give them some respect, they also think they can find a way to handle the matter.

"Since your sister Ning said that we don't have to get involved, then we shouldn't get involved." Cao said, "Looking at your sister Ning's behavior, she has already made plans in her mind. She probably has already thought of how to deal with it. If we intervene now, we may not be helping, but hindering us."

"If Miss Ning is too busy, given her personality, she won't deliberately hide it from us. Just relax and do your job well. Otherwise, she will be busy outside and we won't be able to manage the business well. Wouldn't it be easier for her to be distracted? Just do the things Miss Ning asks us to do, and we will be helping her in a real way."

Zhuang Qingsui also echoed, "Yes, Sister Ying, since you asked us to look after the shop first, we should just look after it first. With you here, we don't have to worry too much."

"Yeah." Zhang Qiuying nodded vigorously and went back to selling things.

Zhuang Qingning walked out of the shop, turned toward the side street, and went all the way to Deng's home.

Mrs. Deng was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Zhuang Qingning coming home, she stood up quickly and wiped the water off her hands: "Ms. Ning is here? Come and sit down. I'll make you a pot of tea and bring you some melon seeds."

Zhuang Qingning rented the shop at the regular price, and her business was booming, which gave Deng enough confidence to confront those people who always said that her shop had bad feng shui. Deng liked her very much, and when she saw Zhuang Qingning coming to her house, she was naturally very enthusiastic.

"Aunt, there's no need to rush. I just came to talk to you and ask you something." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Ask me."

"Among the people who wanted to rent our shop before, are there any who wanted to rent the shop but failed to do so because they couldn't agree on the price?"

"There are a lot of people like this." Mrs. Deng thought for a while and said, "There must be at least a dozen of them. Especially after someone said that the feng shui of this shop was bad, some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and rented the shop at a low price. The price they offered was extremely low."

"My shop is in a good location and has a lot of land. How can I rent it for that much money? They also say it's a bad feng shui or something. I think they are stupid. I'd rather leave this shop there for nothing than to let them succeed!"

When this matter was mentioned, Deng became indignant and emotional.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What I want to ask is, before the feng shui was spread, were there people who wanted to rent the property but didn't, and had some unpleasant experiences with you?"

Zhuang Qingning paused, then continued, "Well... probably around that antique shop, before someone broke their leg."

"If that's the case..." Mrs. Deng scratched her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands suddenly, "There really was one. When the antique shop was not doing well and I was thinking of quitting, someone came to rent the shop. The price he offered was low, but there was a lot of work to do, and his words were not very pleasant to the ear. I was not happy at the time, so I had a quarrel with him."

"But that person seemed to like my shop very much. Even though we had a quarrel that day, he came back the next day and tried to persuade me to rent the shop."

"I thought that after such a big argument the day before, the man who came back the next day would definitely say a few soft words and raise the price, but he still spoke harshly and didn't raise the price at all. I was very upset and chased him away. He was cursing as he left."

"He came again later. At that time, the shop had been rented to someone else. I didn't want to say any more nonsense to him. I just said that the shop had been rented and sent him away."

"When he left, his eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to stab a few bloody holes in my body. I still remember it now, but he never came to my house to talk about renting a shop again, so I didn't take it to heart. If you hadn't come to my house to ask about this this time, I would have almost forgotten it."

"But Ning girl, you are fine, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Has your family already purchased meat for the New Year today and started stewing the meat?

I remember the fear of being dominated by stew last year! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
