Chapter 269 Something Happened

Some cat litter was also prepared and placed in a simple coarse porcelain basin, which could be regarded as a simple cat toilet.

As for cat food that is easily discovered and of unknown quality, Zhuang Qingning prefers to make delicious cat food for the cat herself. Looking at Zhuang Qingsui's enthusiastic appearance, it seems that making cat food is not her job at all.

Zhuang Qingning smiled knowingly as he looked at the man and the cat playing happily in the yard, their shadows stretched long by the afterglow of the setting sun. ——When Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong arrived in town, the sun had already set completely.

Considering that it would be difficult to travel at night, the two men asked Zhuang Sifu to go back quickly when they arrived in the town, rather than sending him home.

Zhuang Sifu tried to persuade them twice without success, so he could only follow Zhang Yongchang's instructions and whipped them to go back.

Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong walked along the road towards their home.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood today, Zhang Yongchang stood with his hands behind his back and hummed a little tune along the way. When he met acquaintances on the road, he greeted them warmly.

"Chef Zhang." Doctor Wei from the pharmacy greeted him, and seeing Zhang Yongchang's smiling face, he also smiled, "Chef Zhang should be happy."

"Huh?" Zhang Yongchang turned his head immediately, his face full of surprise.

"Chef Zhang is so happy, isn't it because of the incident at Fushunlou, and Shopkeeper Feng got his comeuppance?" Doctor Wei said, "Anyone would be happy about this, but Chef Zhang is afraid that others will know about it?"

"Well, this time regarding the matter between you and Shopkeeper Feng, we all think that Shopkeeper Feng was wrong. This time regarding the incident at Fushun Building, we all think that Shopkeeper Feng deserved it."

"No, what happened in Fushun Building?" Zhang Yongchang asked with a frown.

"you do not know?"

This time it was Doctor Wei's turn to be surprised.

But when he saw Zhang Yongchang's bewildered look, he suddenly felt that what he had just said was quite embarrassing. He coughed lightly and said, "Since you don't know, then I'll talk to you, Chef Zhang..."

"It's not a big deal, actually. Ever since Fu Shun Lou took you away, the shopkeeper Feng hired a cook named Qi and his apprentice Tong Fei. The master and the apprentice held back the money that they were supposed to pay to the butcher and the vegetable store every day, saying that they would pay it all together in half a month."

"Since this is what the chef of Fushunlou said, and Fushunlou will not run away, naturally they will not say anything and just wait for the payment in half a month. Who knew that when these shopkeepers came to ask for the money, they could not find the two apprentices of Chef Qi. Naturally, these people were not happy and went to ask for the money from Shopkeeper Feng."

"But Shopkeeper Feng said that the money was paid every day, and he paid it with real money. Now he says that he didn't pay. That's not right. We can't take the opportunity to extort double the money just because Qi Changfu ran away."

"Those who wanted the money naturally refused, saying that this shopkeeper Feng was trying to get away with it by putting the blame on Qi Changfu in order to save such a large sum of money. The two sides quarreled fiercely, and finally the matter was brought to the head of the pavilion."

"The head of the pavilion naturally wanted to investigate this matter to see what was going on. It was not a big deal to investigate. He found that almost all the shops in this town were on credit by Qi Changfu. Wine shops, tea shops, cloth shops, and grain stores were all on credit to some extent. And all of them were on credit in the name of Fushunlou. All in all, the amount was dozens of taels of silver."

"Those who originally didn't know that Qi Changfu and Tong Fei had run away, and didn't know they had to collect the debts, now that they heard about this, they all went to find Manager Feng to collect the debts. Today, the whole town is in an uproar and it's out of control."

There is actually such a thing.

Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong looked at each other, their moods and expressions were equally complicated.

This matter was really unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable.

Although Zhang Yongchang was at home, he also heard some things.

Since Qi Changfu and Tong Fei arrived at Fushunlou, the business of Fushunlou has been declining. Feng Yongkang is very dissatisfied and has many grudges against them.

Qi Changfu and his disciple are both bad people, so it is not surprising that they did these things when they were angry.

Just like this...

Zhang Yongchang clenched his fists.

"That's basically what happened, but I just heard about it. If Chef Zhang wants to know, he can ask the waiters at Fushunlou. I think they know more."

"Thank you, Doctor Wei, for telling me." Zhang Yongchang forced a smile. "It's getting late. I'm going home first. I haven't had dinner yet."

"Goodbye, Chef Zhang." Doctor Wei bowed.

Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong then walked back.

Not sure if it was because of what he heard just now, but Lian Rong always felt that Zhang Yongchang's steps were less brisk and more heavy, and even the smile on his face disappeared.

"Master, how about going to take a look?"

Lian Rong could see that Zhang Yongchang was also somewhat worried about Feng Yongkang and Fushun Building.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When encountering such a thing, you can't explain it even if you have a mouth full of words. Even if Feng Yongkang was completely unaware of it, it was done by his subordinates, so Feng Yongkang can't run away. He has to pay at least most of it, even if he has to pay all the money.

Fu Shun Lou's business has been very bad recently. If it loses so much money this time, it will be seriously damaged. This incident will also have a great impact on Fu Shun Lou's reputation. It is unlikely that its business will be prosperous in the future.

It can be said that there is no way to stop Fu Shun Building’s downward spiral, and it is fortunate that it can still survive.

Zhang Yongchang has been in Fushun Building for so many years and has already managed Fushun Building as his own business. Now that he knows what has happened to Fushun Building, he must be very distressed.

"Go... take a look." After hesitating, Zhang Yongchang nodded slightly.

Then he quickened his pace.

The master and the disciple arrived at Fushun Building one after the other.

At this time, Fushun Building was very lively.

It was not because the business was booming, but because a group of people who came to collect debts were blocking the door.

"Manager Feng, you can't say that. You said you didn't know about it, so you don't know the situation? You said it has nothing to do with you, so it has nothing to do with you? From what I see, this matter might have been planned between you and the wealthy businessman Qi. You asked him to borrow money from everyone and then hide away. Now that you deny it, the money has gone into your pocket."

"That's right. We took this thing and gave it to you. There's also your Fushunlou seal on it. If you say you don't acknowledge it, then you don't acknowledge it. Then who can we go to for justice for the money we lost?"

"I think you should stop talking so much nonsense. We are all doing business, and it's not easy for us. How can we not pay back our debts?"
