Chapter 378 What a Face
Wang Ming didn't expect Ye Beixiu to be so disrespectful. He wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare, so he had to endure it.
After Ye Beixiu stopped Liu Qiang, he immediately bowed solemnly to Wang Ming and said, "Captain Wang, I am deeply honored that you think so highly of me.
But I really have other things to do. I'm an old acquaintance of Mr. Wan from the Manfu Restaurant. When I'm free someday, I'll definitely treat you and the other brothers to a drink together."
Ye Beixiu's humble words instantly made Wang Ming's anger disappear. "If that's the case, then I won't force you.
Let’s make a deal first, if you’re free someday, we’ll have a drink together no matter what.”
Ye Beixiu nodded quickly in response.
Wang Ming was not the kind of person who lacked foresight, so he found an excuse and left.
Liu Qiang stood up and brought Ye Beixiu a cup of tea, handing it to him, "Brother Ye, you don't know, our boss has been asking me about my relationship with you guys since he came back from Yejia Village?
What he meant was that he wanted to get to know you.
So, don't be surprised by what happened just now!"
Ye Beixiu took the tea and took a sip. After running all morning, he was indeed a little thirsty. "Why not? I came here to ask you, are you familiar with Liu Hong? What kind of person is he?"
Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang looked at each other, and then without hiding anything, told Ye Beixiu some of the things they knew.
What they said was almost the same as what Manager Wan told him.
Seeing Ye Beixiu didn't say anything, the two thought he was blaming them for not helping, so they quickly explained, "Brother Ye, you know he's doing a legitimate business. If businessmen fight over customers, we can't really do anything about it!"
Ye Beixiu understood what they meant. "You misunderstood. I was thinking about something else. Since there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
I still have to go to the dental clinic to do some work."
"Brother Ye, how about we brothers go with you?"
"No, it's not a big deal. One of my good brothers wants to buy two acres of land, so I'll go to the brokerage to ask for him."
"Okay, Brother Ye, when you go to the pawnshop, mention our brothers' names, it will work."
Ye Beixiu nodded.
After leaving the yamen, Ye Beixiu felt a little depressed.
He felt very useless at this moment. If no one had told him these things, he would probably have been kept in the dark.
But he didn't know how to help her.
It's really embarrassing.
Zhang Juexia had no idea about what Ye Beixiu had experienced after he left the house.
Now she is sitting in her own shop, looking through the account book. If there is something she doesn't understand, she will ask for the specific reason.
Although Li Xi is old, he has a good brain and can remember everything that has passed through his hands.
Zhang Juexia looked at the profits in the account book. Although it could not be compared with when the business first opened, it was still pretty good.
After Li Xi saw her finish reading the account book, he came forward and told her about the specific situation of the shop.
"Boss, we are actually very grateful to these old customers. Liu Hong has used all his tricks, but there are always some people who are still attracted by the quality of our shop and will not order his goods just because he lowers the price."
“You get what you pay for, and if these people want to keep their business going long-term, quality should be their primary consideration.
So, we are all businessmen and we are not stupid.
I won't buy his things just because they are cheap.
Manager Li, it's actually a good thing that he did this. It helps us get rid of some disloyal customers.
Please take good care of these old customers. I will definitely give them a big gift during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, sir. I'll make a note of this."
Seeing that nothing happened, Zhang Juexia prepared to go to Aunt Wang.
Speaking of Aunt Wang, Li Xi thought of something else, "Boss, I have something else to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"As long as it's a business matter, whether there's anything you should or shouldn't talk about, Shopkeeper Li, just speak up!"
"It happened like this, that day Cui'er's mother came to see me.
It was said that the embroiderer from Xiucai Embroidery Workshop asked someone to find her and wanted her to work in our Shengxia Embroidery Workshop.
After all, it involves Xiucai Embroidery Workshop, and they steal our business every day. Cui'er's mother didn't dare to make a decision, so she discussed it with me.
But I don’t dare to make the decision on this matter.”
"They are doing well in Xiucai Embroidery Workshop, why do they come to ours?"
"I asked Ding Man to find out, and he said that the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop hasn't paid any workers since it opened.
Embroiderers also need to make a living! Therefore, some of the brave and lively ones thought of coming here.
After all, the treatment we receive here is something that everyone in this town would envy for a while if they mentioned it.”
Zhang Juexia cursed in his heart, Liu Hong and Fang Lan are really profiteers!
"They have such a good business, yet they don't even pay their employees. How can there be such people in our town? They should be kicked out of town."
Li Xi sighed awkwardly, "Liu Hong has lived in this town for many years, so he must have some connections. Besides, his son just passed the imperial examination."
“Is this a reason for not paying wages?”
"What about this?"
Although Zhang Juexia sympathized with these embroiderers, she did not dare to take the risk of accepting them. What if they were spies sent by Xiucai Embroidery Workshop?
So she thought it would be better not to be a good person.
"Shopkeeper Li, let's wait and see. Ask Aunt Wang to remember the names of those who are looking for her.
Then, pay more attention to their character on a daily basis, and wait until the day when the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop can no longer operate, then we can talk about it!"
Li Xi nodded and said, "Boss, we are thinking the same thing.
In fact, a while ago, Liu Hong came to our shop to borrow an embroiderer.
They said they were too busy with business and wanted to find a few embroiderers to help, but I flatly refused.
I guess it was this incident that irritated him, and later on, the things that happened with Song Yu happened.
Boss, you won't blame me for not telling you this, right?"
"Song Yu's matter has been resolved. Shopkeeper Li, why should I blame you? You did the right thing.
I don't know how shameless Liu Hong is, why would we lend our embroiderer to him?"
"That's what I thought at the time, Boss. You don't know how angry I was..."
Zhang Juexia said a few words of approval to comfort Li Xi.
Then, something suddenly came to her mind. "Manager Li, I'm going to see Aunt Wang. If you think of anything else, we can talk about it this afternoon."
When Zhang Juexia left the shop, she saw Shopkeeper Yao leaning against the door, looking at her with his head tilted. "You finally remembered to go to town..."
