Chapter 985 No Way Out
The shopkeeper was so angry that he shouted, "I can do it!" and was about to go into the house to get the silver.
His action frightened Mrs. Zhang.
Madam Zhang stared blankly at the pawnshop owner. If housekeeper Zhang hadn't reminded her quietly, "Madam, you absolutely cannot do that.
If this gets out, who knows what people will say about our Zhang family!"
Mrs. Zhang then called out to the pawnshop owner, "Boss, don't be impatient, I'll wait a moment!"
The shopkeeper didn't indulge her this time, "Since the old lady is willing to wait, then wait!"
He did not ask the waiter to take Madam Zhang to a private room, but instead asked the waiter to serve her tea in the lobby.
When Mrs. Zhang saw that the tea had arrived, she swallowed back what she wanted to say. After all, she also felt that the owner of the dental shop was not very friendly to her.
The shopkeeper went into his room, drank some tea, and asked the clerk some questions before telling him, "It won't be too late to call me when Mr. Zhang and Manager Shen arrive."
The young man agreed, but he was worried in his heart.
The shopkeeper seemed to see through his thoughts and slapped him on the back of the head, "You kid, don't think I can't see what's going on in your mind.
Are you wondering why I neglected Old Madam Zhang so much? "
The young man looked at the shop owner embarrassedly and said, "Shop owner, you are amazing. How do you know what I am thinking?
Then can you tell me the reason?"
The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Every business has this rule: you get what you pay for.
Madam Zhang looked down on us and gave us too little money, so now that we are in our territory, there is no need for us to pamper her."
The clerk nodded and said, "Boss, I am learning something from you again."
"There's a lot to learn in our line of work, so remember not to get cocky!
"Boss Zhang and Steward Shen are here, please call me!"
"Shopkeeper, I understand. When Mr. Zhang and Manager Shen arrive, do we have to take them to a private room?"
"Boy, I'm telling you, not only do you have to welcome them to a private room, you also have to serve them the best tea. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
When Shen Liang saw Zhang Juexia, the first thing he said was, "Madam, it's settled."
"That's great. Have some tea and rest your feet first, then we'll go to the dental clinic."
Shen Liang was not polite. After sitting down, he drank tea and ate a few snacks.
"Let's go. Madam Zhang can wait a little longer. Let's not embarrass the owner of the dental clinic."
"good!"
Li Yun also wanted to go with them. Her purpose was to see the black face of Mrs. Zhang who was so angry.
When passing by the bank, Zhang Juexia really asked Shen Liang to stop the carriage, and asked Shen Liang to take a clerk out of the bank and follow them to the brokerage.
When the pawnshop owner heard that Zhang Juexia and Shen Liang had arrived, he immediately ran out of the house and said, "Boss Zhang, Manager Shen is waiting for you. Please come in!"
Old Madam Zhang followed them with a gloomy face the whole time.
After the tea was served and everyone was seated, the pawnbroker wanted to create a sense of ceremony and say something auspicious to start the conversation. However, before he could open his mouth, Old Lady Zhang spoke up, "I'm already old, and you're being too shameless to ask me to wait for you."
The shop owner immediately frowned, "What are you saying, Madam Zhang? We had already agreed on this.
You give me money, I do the work, and after I get the work done, I'll send the money to your home.
It was you who lost your patience and asked for it to happen, so don’t blame us!
To be honest, my small business relies entirely on the elders of Qingfeng City. If your words were to get out, would I still be able to do business? "
Madam Zhang was so shocked by what the pawnshop owner said that she smiled a smile uglier than tears. "Boss, don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about you."
"You can't tell anyone. Once you step through this door, you're my guest."
Butler Zhang whispered to Madam Zhang, "Madam, we haven't received the silver yet, so we have to be careful!"
Old Madam Zhang glared at Butler Zhang, meaning that I still need you to teach me how to do things.
She quickly apologized with a smile, "Boss, I was wrong. Please don't argue with me because of my age."
Zhang Juexia stood up and rescued the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, here are 4,500 taels of silver. Please take out the land deed of the manor!"
That way, we're even."
The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Juexia gratefully and said, "Mrs. Ye, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Soon, the pawnshop owner came out with the newly issued land deed. He took the banknote, checked it to make sure it was correct, and then respectfully handed the farm's land deed to Zhang Juexia, "Madam Ye, this is the land deed. Please keep it."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't sit still any longer, "Boss, please give me the banknotes!"
The shopkeeper looked at the bank clerk standing beside him and said, "Madam, please be patient. The banknotes are already in my hands. What are you worried about?
However, for the sake of the old lady, I want to avoid her using the banknote to make trouble after getting it. Fortunately, the clerk of the bank is here. It would be better to let him help verify its authenticity before handing it to the old lady.
This way, we can all rest assured.”
After hearing what the pawnshop owner said, Mrs. Zhang sat on the chair angrily without saying a word, but she was very puzzled in her heart, how could they know this?
Originally, she had planned that if Zhang Juexia took out the banknote, she would insist that the banknote was fake.
In fact, it’s not her fault. If Zhang Juexia hadn’t treated her like that last night, she wouldn’t have wanted to do this.
But what she didn't expect was that the clerk of the bank actually followed her. Who leaked the news?
Zhang Juexia was better. His eyes were very reserved, and he would occasionally raise his head to glance at Old Madam Zhang.
Li Yun didn't care at all. His eyes had never left Madam Zhang since he entered the door.
She looked at Madam Zhang's appearance at this moment and felt very refreshed.
The bank clerk took the banknote in his hand and examined it carefully. "Boss, this banknote of Madam Ye's is indeed from our bank."
After the pawnshop owner took the banknote, he said to the bank clerk, "So, with this banknote, I can exchange it for silver at your bank now."
"Yes, sir, throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, wherever there is a bank called ours, we can exchange it for silver."
"good!"
The shop owner then looked at Madam Zhang and said, "Madam, you heard what the young man said just now.
Now, I will hand this banknote to you. Please check it. Once you leave this door, we will not be responsible for anything else."
