"I don't care what your name is. You've offended my eyes. Pay me three thousand taels, or I'll go to the yamen and sue you."
As He Jiuniang spoke, she stretched out her hand, looking like she was demanding a debt, instantly turning the tables on her.
Everyone around was stunned; they hadn't expected the matter to be handled this way.
The chubby boss took a while to catch his breath before staring at He Jiuniang and asking, "So you're trying to renege on your promise, are you? Aren't you afraid I'll bring some people to smash up your Lu Hei Ya shop?"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared!"
Despite saying this, the fat boss wore a disdainful smile. He was so angry that he was almost out of his mind. He immediately ordered his servant, "Give them a good beating! They broke my vase and think they can just let it go? No way!"
"Oh dear, this person is really unethical! We never said we wouldn't compensate, so why are you getting so worked up? You haven't even compensated me for my eye damage!"
He Jiuniang clapped her hands, looking very excited.
"Everyone, be the judge. Am I wrong? If he had compensated us at the normal price, would we be in this mess? He clearly has his eye on our Lu Hei Ya recipe and is deliberately trying to trip us up! We're all in business; nobody's a fool. If we can't even see through this little trick, how can we do business?"
After He Jiuniang said that, the people around started discussing it again, and they all felt that He Jiuniang was right.
At this moment, the fat boss's servants began to swing sticks at He Jiuniang and her group.
Lu Baichuan pulled He Jiuniang behind him, and they were immediately confronted by the sticks.
Not to be outdone, Boss Lu also charged forward.
However, these henchmen were clearly no match for Lu Baichuan, and Lu Baichuan didn't even need to lift a finger; he had already taken care of them.
The people around them originally thought that they would definitely get a beating for being so arrogant, but they didn't expect that the crisis would be resolved so easily. For a moment, everyone admired Lu Baichuan.
They had all witnessed Lu Baichuan easily take down these servants. They obviously hadn't expected this masked man to be so powerful. No wonder the beautiful woman spoke so aggressively; it turned out she had the confidence to back it up.
Now it was the fat boss's turn to get anxious. His plan was to take advantage of his numbers, beat up the group, and force them to hand over the recipe for Lu Hei Ya (a type of braised duck).
He's been envious of Lu Hei Ya for a long time now since it went public. If his restaurant could get Lu Hei Ya's recipe, would he still have to worry about business?
He originally thought that Lu Hei Ya's recipe was already his, but the sudden appearance of these two people made him wary.
The woman was quick-witted, and the man was quick-handed, so he really couldn't do anything about them.
He Jiuniang looked at him with a hint of smugness and asked, "How about it? Want to come again?"
"you!"
The fat boss was holding his breath, unable to vent his anger. He had waited a long time for this performance, and he was unwilling to let it all go to waste.
But in the current situation, not compromising seems to be even more disadvantageous for him.
"You broke my vase and you're still so self-righteous! I've never seen such shameless people!"
When you're so angry you can't stand it, all you can do is utter this helpless curse.
He Jiuniang shrugged, not thinking she had done anything wrong, and said, "If you have a clear conscience, you can report it to the authorities. If we can't solve it, let the magistrate do it!"
She didn't really want to see the magistrate, after all, things had gotten so unpleasant yesterday, and she figured he probably didn't want to see her either.
Fortunately, the fat boss was indeed a little guilty. His family were just pure businessmen and didn't have much power. He didn't dare to easily deal with the county magistrate, and he never thought of asking the county magistrate for help.
"Such a trivial matter, why does the magistrate need to get involved? Debts must be repaid. You've mistakenly hit my vase, so you have to compensate me! Otherwise, I can make your lives a living hell!"
The fat boss shouted, and He Jiuniang said, "Oh, it seems you want to see who's more shameless. Fine, let's see who causes the most chaos."
As she spoke, she made a gesture of flicking a booger at the fat boss with her finger, and almost immediately, the fat boss jumped three feet high.
