"Ha, you've managed to distance yourself so cleanly!"
He Jiuniang sneered, then kicked Manager Zhang in the chest.
Shopkeeper Zhang fell to the ground, and before he could catch his breath, He Jiuniang stepped on his face again.
"Tell me, if I just kill you like this, will anyone know it was me?"
He Jiuniang never minded having taken multiple lives, especially those with malicious intentions.
"Grandma, spare my life!"
Manager Zhang really wanted to stand up for himself, but he had no chance to fight back against this woman. Now he finally understood why the Dong family was so tightly controlled. He figured that the wealthy Dong must have his own unspeakable grievances.
Seeing this grown man crying with tears streaming down his face, He Jiuniang was worried that the snot from this scoundrel would get on her feet, so she withdrew her foot in disgust.
"It's not impossible to live, but tell me the details of your employer."
He Jiuniang sat back down and even leisurely poured herself a cup of tea. This bastard was quite good to her; the tea was top-quality and very fragrant.
Manager Zhang was indeed stunned for a moment. This woman wanted him to betray his employer. How could he allow that?
He was able to live such a good life all these years because his employer treated him well. Besides, if his employer knew that he had betrayed him, he would definitely not survive.
Most importantly, if this woman really causes trouble for the employer, not only will the employer suffer, but he will also suffer.
In short, I can't get anything good out of it no matter what.
"Grandma, this matter really has nothing to do with our boss. It was all Zhou's doing on her own. Our boss has been in business for many years and has a lot of wealth. She wouldn't care about such a small business. Please don't misunderstand, Grandma!"
Manager Zhang's original intention was to remove the label of her own boss, but when He Jiuniang heard these words, they instantly took on a different meaning. She thought he was implying that her business was too small.
So it's like you're both disgusted by it and still thinking about it?
He picked up a clean teacup and slapped it on Zhang's face. The action was so fast that Zhang didn't even have time to react before blood appeared on his forehead.
Shopkeeper Zhang was in excruciating pain all over his body. In all his life, he had never felt so frustrated.
"Will you tell me or not?"
A shard of broken porcelain was pressed against his throat, and Manager Zhang was so frightened that he wet himself and blurted out everything he knew.
The owner of Shili Piaoxiang Restaurant is named Liu Yancai. His ancestors were quite wealthy, and they had been running restaurants for generations. They had a great reputation and were considered a prominent family in Jingzhou City.
The rest of the text was filled with the shopkeeper's blind praise of Liu Yancai, but He Jiuniang didn't bother to listen and told him to shut up.
“Grandma, my boss isn’t an ordinary person. He’s rich and influential, and you can’t afford to offend him. Besides, this matter didn’t work out, so please don’t hold it against him. We’ll never bother with your food stall again! See…”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and Manager Zhang had already fainted.
Still not satisfied, He Jiuniang kicked him again before saying, "I told you to shut up!"
Since Manager Zhang had fainted, he naturally could no longer hear what she was saying, and He Jiuniang swaggered away as if nothing had happened.
It was only after the waiter had been busy for a while that he came over to check if the manager had woken up, and there he found the manager lying unconscious on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.
Manager Zhang was lying in a puddle of water, his face covered in blood. It was unclear whether he was still alive. The waiter dared not approach rashly and hurriedly screamed as he went out to find someone.
After leaving the restaurant, He Jiuniang went to the clinic.
Before the New Year, He Jiuniang had said that she had something to do after the New Year and might not be able to come to the clinic until after the Lantern Festival. Although Manager Ren felt it was a bit of a pity, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, He Jiuniang was their clinic's cash cow, so whatever she said was fine.
But seeing that she came on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, could it be that she has come to terms with things?
Manager Ren hurriedly came forward, saying very warmly, "Dr. He, Happy New Year! It's only the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and you've already arrived, isn't that...?"
He Jiuniang knew that Manager Ren wanted her to come and see patients, so she interrupted him and said, "I have something to ask Manager Ren. Is it convenient for us to talk?"
Manager Ren thought they were talking about the clinic, so without saying a word, he invited them to a side room and served them a pot of fine tea.
"Dr. He, please feel free to say anything. We will do our best to accommodate your request, as long as it is within our clinic's capabilities!"
Manager Ren's eyes were practically closed with a smile, and He Jiuniang knew he had misunderstood. She said, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask Manager Ren about Liu Yancai, the owner of Shili Piaoxiang. Manager Ren often goes to the prefectural city, so you must have heard of him, right?"
"The owner of the place whose fragrance wafts for miles? Doctor He, this is..."
"Oh, it's some personal grudge."
Manager Ren understood immediately: the wealthy Mr. Dong, who had some personal grudge against her, was now regularly coming to the clinic to give her money every month!
Thinking about it, Manager Ren felt that He Jiuniang was sure to generate more revenue for the clinic, so he hurriedly and enthusiastically said, "I only know this name. I heard that her family has always been in the restaurant business, and the business is quite large. I don't know the specifics, but I can send someone to find out."
Perhaps he'll be the next big spender, so Manager Ren naturally took him seriously.
He Jiuniang said, "In that case, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'll investigate myself when I get to the prefectural city. By the way, Manager Ren can write to the master and tell him that if there are any difficult cases in the prefectural city recently, he can take on the task and I can handle them."
Only He Jiuniang would dare to say such arrogant words. After spending so much time together, Manager Ren had complete trust in He Jiuniang, since she never boasted.
You can tell how good Dr. He is just by looking at his work!
"Alright, alright, I'll write to the master right away and ask when Dr. He will be available to make house calls?"
Manager Ren still needed to clarify the matter, since it wasn't the Lantern Festival yet. If he accepted the patient early but the patient refused to go, wouldn't that offend someone?
"Anytime is fine."
He Jiuniang waved her hand dismissively. Before, she wanted to teach Zhou a lesson, but now that Zhou's matter was resolved, she still had to be wary of Shili Piaoxiang's desperate actions. She needed to find out more about Liu Yancai first.
If all else fails, we'll resort to force.
With He Jiuniang's guarantee, Manager Ren immediately wrote a letter to the prefectural city. He was about to make a lot of money right after the New Year. How wonderful!
Meanwhile, at the place called Shili Piaoxiang, Manager Zhang also woke up. The first thing he did was write a letter to his boss, telling him to be careful in his actions recently and not to fall into He Jiuniang's hands easily, because that woman was too terrifying!
By the time He Jiuniang had finished dealing with everything, Boss Lu and the others had already gone home. He Jiuniang hurried home and happened to step into the house with them.
"Third sister-in-law, how did you do that so quickly?"
Yu's eyes widened; she hadn't seen anyone behind her the whole way!
"I came here specifically to follow you guys, hehe! By the way, sister-in-law, you should tell everyone about Zhou's matter."
