Lu Badan's words seemed to be muffled in his mouth and he couldn't hear clearly. When he looked up, he saw the little girl holding his paws with both hands, observing the gaps between his nails carefully and gently.
As careful as a twisted pervert!
Lu Badan mustered up his courage, rescued the claw from the predicament, and swallowed hard, "Boss... Boss..."
Xianjin crossed his arms calmly, "Hmm?"
Lu Badan said with a sad face, "I am just a pawn. The difficult questions you asked are difficult to answer whether I answer them or not."
Xianjin smiled.
Anyone who can clearly recognize that he is a pawn is no longer a pawn.
This man was smarter than she thought.
Xianjin nodded casually, "Thirty-four taels, right? I'll give you fifty taels."
Lu Badan was dumbfounded.
Xianjin said calmly, "You used the excuse that our store's counter management was chaotic, and you took advantage of the shortfall here - go find Chen Laowu and settle the debt."
Lu Badan moved his mouth again and again, and he really didn't understand what it meant!
I really don’t understand!
Xianjin continued calmly, "You are speaking frankly to me, so I will not beat around the bush. Although you are incompetent and average in talent, you can't use an abacus or mental arithmetic, you are short and have sunken cheeks, I think I will definitely not hire you if I hire someone myself."
Lu Badan:?
Thank you so much for such honest feedback.
The "but" that Lu Badan had been waiting for came.
"But if I try to get rid of you, Grandpa Chen Wu will be unable to sleep or eat, and he may even send one, two, or three more pawns to me."
Xianjin's eyebrows were light, "It's better to do familiar things than to do strangers. It's better to keep you here."
Lu Badan looked up in horror.
It is better to do business with people you are familiar with. It sounds like "If you don't obey me, I will kill you."
Lu Badan stammered and was about to speak, but he saw Xianjin making a "calm down" gesture.
"I will help you settle the account. You write me an IOU. I won't charge you interest. But starting from the New Year, I will only pay you half of your salary every month. When you have worked for me for two years, I will give you all your salary and tear up the IOU in front of you."
Xianjin spoke fluently, as if he had been thinking for a long time.
Lu Badan was no longer just stunned; it was like a bolt from the blue.
Of course, the thunder is a good thunder.
What's the difference between this and giving it to him for free? !
Lu Badan's lips moved, his heart beat fast, and he wanted to agree, but then he heard Xianjin ask again, "So, how does Master Chen Wu lend money at interest?"
Xian Jin thought as he spoke, with a very obvious Huizhou accent, "He definitely won't show up on his own. If he does, he'll be discovered sooner or later. How can Madam Qu allow him to tarnish the Chen family's reputation?"
Lu Badan lowered his head, his mind struggling with some inner conflict.
Xianjin did not rush him. He waited leisurely and drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.
Today's tea is similar to iced American coffee in later generations.
The refreshing effect is very good.
Modern people have bad heart problems, and caffeine makes people excited. She has always longed for the life of a social animal with a cup of iced American coffee in hand until two o'clock.
Now that her heart is stronger than a cow, she treats strong tea as iced American coffee, drinking two cups a day, which really refreshes her mind.
Xianjin glanced at the clock and reminded Lu Badan, "...When you are forced to join the Liangshan bandits, you have to give a pledge of allegiance to the outlaws. I'm not asking you to chop off your little finger or dig out your eye. If you hesitate any longer, I'll turn around and send you to Chen Laowu, and give you thirty-four taels of silver."
Xianjin smiled, "Just wait and see whether Chen Laowu wants to kill you or not."
Suo'er pursed his lips behind him: Learn to be a good person from a good person, learn to dance from a witch, Zhou Ergou said that her temper has become worse recently... There is a reason for that...
Lu Badan shuddered all over, raised his head and said, "Chen Laowu didn't do the job of lending money at high interest. His wife, my niece's younger cousin, was the moneylender. His concubine's elder brother was the debt collector, and his concubine's younger brother was the debt swindler."
Huh!
Or is it that wives and concubines jointly manage the family business as a shareholding system?
Xianjin nodded, "It takes capital to lend money, where does he get so much money?"
Lu Badan was bored again.
Xianjin was so angry that he wanted to beat him up - is this guy a toad? Why does he jump up and down when I poke him?
Every time she reveals some important information, it's like squeezing cat urine, always asking her to change her threats - she's not a full-time gangster! Where does she get so many new threats?
Xianjin stood up and walked out.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lu Badan said hurriedly, "The mulberry paper workshop in the east of the city! The accountant is also a gambler! Every time I go to redeem my wife, I see him inside!"
What about the rat that performs magic with a small stick?
You can't even figure out the accounts, and yet you're trying to gamble!
The golden beauty was speechless.
"In other words, Chen Laowu used the gambling money as bait and colluded with the accountant to empty the money in the mulberry paper workshop's account?"
Xianjin smiled and said, "The old lady is not a hands-off manager. How could she not know that there is no money in the account?"
Lu Badan was afraid that Xianjin would not believe him and his pledge of allegiance would go to waste, so he hurriedly said, "No, no! He lent the money, paid back the principal, and made interest. He made ten taels out of a hundred taels, so there is still a hundred taels in the account, right? As long as he can get the principal back on time, who knows!"
oh.
Master Chen Wu does not produce silver, he is just a carrier of interest.
Xianjin had roughly understood everything, and after thinking for a while he asked again, "So, what else?"
Lu Badan was confused, "What else?"
What else?
What about Chen Laowu’s negative information?
Xianjin said, "Tsk, what else is there about Chen Laowu that you know I don't know."
