"When will your boss come back?" Bei Yutang asked.
This token was also her first time using it, so she didn't know how effective it would be. However, the clerks below didn't recognize it, but the shopkeeper must have known it.
The waiter smiled and said, "This guest is really unfortunate. Our boss has some family matters and is not here for the time being. Why not come back in a few days?"
Bei Yutang didn't have that much time to waste here. "Where does the shopkeeper live?"
Since he's not here, he has to go look for him.
The guy looked embarrassed, "Well..."
Bei Yutang saw the clerk's concern and explained, "I'm here to see the owner on behalf of someone. I have to complete the client's task on time. If I fail to do so, I'll lose my reward."
Seeing him say so, the clerk wrote down the shopkeeper's address. Bei Yutang thanked him and left the rouge shop directly.
After they left, the waiter looked thoughtful.
"Hey, waiter, let me see that rouge." A female customer in the store shouted to the waiter.
The waiter immediately turned his attention away from Bei Yutang and the others and greeted the customers enthusiastically.
Bei Yutang took his son Moer to the shopkeeper's house. When they found the place, they saw white cloth hanging on the door and could faintly hear funeral music and crying coming from the courtyard.
When Bei Yutang arrived, the old man at the door saw them and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this the home of the owner of Lei's Rouge Shop?" Bei Yutang asked in a rough voice.
"Yes."
"It's like this. We are from the Lei's Trading Company in Yunzhou City. We have something to discuss with the manager." Bei Yutang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get in, so he held up a big banner.
When the old man heard that the person was from the provincial capital, he immediately and warmly led the person in.
He seemed to be afraid that the host's failure to go to the shop would make the visitor unhappy, so he explained as he walked, "My master's mother passed away suddenly, and I have been busy with the old lady's funeral arrangements for the past few days."
Bei Yutang nodded in understanding.
When they entered the mourning hall in the main hall, people in the room looked at them.
The old man walked forward and said to the middle-aged man kneeling in front of the mourning hall, "Master, this man is from the Lei's Trading Company in Yunzhou City."
When Manager Zhang heard that the person was from Yunzhou City, he immediately stood up and looked at Bei Yutang. He looked at his clothes and the delicate child beside him, and felt a little suspicious.
Could this person be a liar?
Bei Yutang saw the suspicion in his eyes and did not explain, "Manager Zhang, may I have a word with you for a moment?"
Seeing that this was his home and there were so many people at home, Shopkeeper Zhang thought that they would not treat him like this, so he nodded at her.
"good."
The two of them walked to a secluded place, and before he could speak, Bei Yutang took out the token from his sleeve.
When Shopkeeper Zhang saw the token, his pupils constricted, and it took him a while to recover from his shock.
"May I know your name?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked humbly.
"The name is just a code name. I came here to deliver something to the shopkeeper. The thing is in the inn outside. Please move over." Bei Yutang said in a rough voice.
"Okay, okay." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded repeatedly.
When they returned to the main hall, they saw Zhang the shopkeeper, bowing his head, following the strange man out of the house. Little Mo'er saw her mother coming back and followed her.
