Boss Liu was bribed by Mr. Luo, and when the Zhao family signed the lease again, he instigated other merchants to cause trouble, and finally failed to sign the contract. They had already succeeded, but they left Uncle Xian speechless. Who knew that at this time, the eldest son of the Zhao family would
Will appear. After talking nonsense for a long time, not knowing what happened to those merchants, he suddenly changed his mind. In fact, he also regretted it a little. After all, although the second master agreed to him and let him open a shop on East Street, he
He had been running the shop on South Street for five or six years, so he was used to it anyway.
It has been five or six days, and Uncle Xian of the Zhao family has no intention of looking for him at all. If Uncle Xian sends someone to find him now, he will sign it immediately, let alone three years, even if it is five years. However, Uncle Xian did not show up at all.
He could only bite the bullet and come to find Mr. Luo.
However, he knows the power of Mr. Luo. If he does not follow Mr. Luo, it is very likely that his shop will be robbed by Mr. Luo. However, now he has no choice but to seek refuge with Mr. Luo.
Already.
I followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor. After seeing Mr. Luo, he said politely: "Second Master."
Mr. Luo took a sip of tea and didn't speak. He didn't speak until he finished the cup of tea, then he said, "Well, how did you go about the things I assigned you?"
"Returning to the second master, I have already tried my best. Those merchants had promised not to sign the contract, but I didn't expect that as soon as the young master of the Zhao family made trouble, these merchants rushed to sign the contract with the Zhao family. I am the second master's person, how could I do this?
Where are they signing the contract? So, I went back to the shop, and the shop was almost ready," said Boss Liu.
"So, not a single merchant followed you out of the Zhao family?" Second Master Luo said.
"We originally didn't agree to sign for three years. We all worked together to force the Zhao family to change it to one sign every year. Even Uncle Xian couldn't do anything about it. Who knows what the young master of the Zhao family said about a young master from the Bai family who planned to sign all the shops?
They were worried that the shop would be rented out, so they rushed to sign the contract with Uncle Xian," said Boss Liu.
"Please tell me in detail from beginning to end." Mr. Luo said.
Does the young master of the Zhao family always pretend? Why did he make other merchants change their minds with just a few words?
"Yes." Boss Liu said.
Boss Liu told Mr. Luo exactly what happened that day. The sudden appearance of a young master from the Bai family made him confused. He only remembered that the Bai family used to be a family of officials. Because of corruption and bribery, he had long been punished.
Punishment, this young master of the Bai family should not be the same Bai family. Moreover, as long as a reputable person comes to Licheng, there is no one he does not know about. Since the Bai family has the ability to rent a street, then this Bai family must not be simple
. Could it be that he came to Licheng with the Zhao family?
"Have you ever seen this young master of the Bai family?" Master Luo asked.
"Back to the second master, how could I have seen him before? I just heard it mentioned by the young master of the Zhao family. However, he seems to have told Uncle Xian that this young master of the Bai family knows Princess Pluto and seems to be a member of Princess Pluto." Boss Liu said.
.
"Pluto's concubine? I want to find out who he is. The young master of the Zhao family is really good at it. After only a short time, he made other merchants change their minds." Second Master Luo said.
"Second Master, it's not actually the young master of the Zhao family who has the ability. If we talk about ability, how many people can compare with Uncle Xian's business ability? At that time, even Uncle Xian couldn't do anything. Who else could do it? Exactly.
Because the young master of the Zhao family doesn't know how to do business and is not afraid of offending us, that's why he is so arrogant." Boss Liu said.
"Oh? So, you think the young master of the Zhao family doesn't have much ability." Second Master Luo asked.
"Second Master, when I first opened the business, I heard that he was the first merchant to sign a contract in three years, and it was also because of this young master of the Zhao family. However, after I inquired carefully, I found out that it was actually Uncle Xian's idea behind his back.
The young master of the Zhao family stood aside to support the scene, and I don’t know if he thought it was all the eldest son’s fault.” Boss Liu said.
"You said that the Zhao family asked Uncle Xian to bring the eldest young master to Licheng. What's the conspiracy?" Second Master Luo said.
"Second Master, the eldest son of the Zhao family has caused a lot of trouble in the capital before. I heard that the clan has decided to let the second young master take care of the Zhao family's business in the future. I feel that the Zhao family's wife will definitely not be willing, so I begged the Zhao family to
Master, let the young master go to Licheng to avoid those rumors. He can go back after the rumors in the capital have passed." Boss Liu said.
"I'm just a little strange. It's said that the eldest young master of the Zhao family knows nothing about business and is just a lustful person. However, it is not easy for him to arrange Sanniang's contract. As for what you said, I will investigate clearly. You go back first
Well, if something happens I will ask someone to bring you over." Mr. Luo said.
"Yes, Second Master. But Second Master, Xiaoren's shop has closed. I wonder if you can rent the shop on South Street to Xiaoren?" Boss Liu asked.
"That's all, Lao Xu, let's find him a shop." Mr. Luo said.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, please, Mr. Liu," the shopkeeper said.
When leaving the shop, Boss Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Since Mr. Luo promised to leave him a shop on East Street, he was satisfied.
Second Master Luo called someone over and said, "You guys go to the capital to find out if anyone from the Bai family has appeared."
"Yes, Second Master." After receiving the order, the servant immediately set off for the capital.
He also ordered people to investigate Sanniang's contract signing to see how much it had to do with the young master of the Zhao family.
If the young master of the Zhao family really has no ability, forget it. If he is pretending, it will be detrimental to the Luo family. Naturally, he cannot be allowed to stay in Licheng. What he is most worried about is the affairs of the Luo family. The young master of the Zhao family has bought it.
Those four jade hairpins forced him to be wary of the young master of the Zhao family. Because he had not found Luo Ying so far, he was even more worried that they would join forces to plot against him.
At that time, he sent people to hunt down Luo Ying and chased him all the way to the capital. In the end, Luo Ying just disappeared. Because he was in the capital, he did not dare to be too public. People in the capital searched for three months in a row to avoid being caught.
People in the capital watched closely and finally withdrew to Licheng.
The Zhao family has a good reputation in the capital, so he naturally does not dare to offend him, but in Licheng, no one can plot against him. If it is discovered that the young master of the Zhao family and Luo Ying are in the same group, he will naturally not let them go.
Lao Xu knew where there was a vacant shop on East Street, so he quickly made a contract and asked Boss Liu to sign it. When Boss Liu was about to sign the contract, he found that something was wrong with the terms above, so he asked: "Shopkeeper Xu, is there something wrong with this clause?"
ah?"
"What's wrong? The East Street contract has always been like this. What questions do you have?" Shopkeeper Xu said.
"Master Luo originally promised me that the lease would not be increased in the next three years, but this clause stated that the rent for the next year would increase based on this year's profits. This seems a bit unreasonable," said Boss Liu.
"Since you think it's unreasonable, you don't have to sign the contract. The contracts are the same, but don't say that I, Old Xu, bullied you." Shopkeeper Xu said.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what you said is wrong. Even if the contract is the same, this is what the second master promised us." Boss Liu said.
"You didn't handle the matter well. The second master didn't make things difficult for you, and he even left a shop for you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're still arguing about the rent here. I think it's better to forget it, Shopkeeper Liu. If you're not sincere,
Just don't sign the contract." Shopkeeper Xu said helplessly.
"That's not what I meant. Of course I sincerely want to sign, but the rent will be increased based on this year's profits, which is indeed unreasonable," said Boss Liu.
"Why is it unreasonable? If you sell well, it proves that the location of the shop is good. Isn't it normal to increase the rent?" Shopkeeper Xu said.
"But Mr. Luo has already promised me that he will not increase my rent." Shopkeeper Liu said.
Shopkeeper Xu snatched the contract back from Boss Liu and said to him: "Boss Liu, since you are not satisfied, then look for another place. I'm afraid there is no shop suitable for you on East Street, so you'd better not sign it. Boss Liu
, Go slowly and don’t see me off.” Shopkeeper Xu said.
"Shopkeeper Xu, I didn't say I wouldn't sign. It's just that Mr. Luo always keeps his word. You can't do this." Boss Liu said.
"Our second master is indeed trustworthy, but this time you can't blame our second master. It's because you failed to complete the task assigned to you by the second master. The second master is willing to rent you a shop, which can be considered a blessing from your previous life. If you didn't
It doesn't matter if you are willing to rent, Mr. Er will never force others." Shopkeeper Xu said.
Boss Liu knew that Mr. Luo was not easy to mess with. If he didn't sign today, no one would rent the shop to him. So he quickly grabbed the contract, signed it and put his fingerprints on it.
"Now that I've signed it, I'll take my leave. I'll go back to the shop tomorrow to pack my things, and I'll open the shop another day," Boss Liu said with a smile.
"Yes, please." Shopkeeper Xu said.
After shopkeeper Xu sent Boss Liu away, he went upstairs with the contract.
"How come you have been struggling until now? Is Boss Liu dissatisfied?" Mr. Luo asked.
"The second master agreed to rent him the shop just to give him face. Besides, the second master never forces others. He signed this contract voluntarily." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.
"You are right, I, Mr. Luo, have never forced anyone else?" Mr. Luo said.
South Street Zhaojia Shop
"Uncle Xian, Boss Liu has signed a contract with the Luo family," the servant said.
"I've known for a long time that he was bribed by Mr. Luo, otherwise why would he cause trouble for no reason? If it weren't for him, how could those tenants follow suit and make trouble," Uncle Xian said.
"Fortunately, when he wanted to sign that day, you didn't agree, otherwise you wouldn't know what he could do." The servant said.
"Thanks to the young master. Fortunately, he rushed over in time, otherwise he would have fallen into Boss Liu's trap." Uncle Xian said.
"Uncle Xian, when will the young master from the Bai family that the eldest young master mentioned come? Since Boss Liu has not renewed the lease, shouldn't the shop be vacated?" the servant asked.
"Let's look for other tenants first. Mr. Bai probably wants a bigger shop. We'll talk about it when we have the opportunity." Uncle Xian said.
"Yes." The servant said.
"Where is the eldest young master?" Uncle Xian asked.
"The young master should be drinking tea in the teahouse at this time." The servant said.
Uncle Xian looked at the second young master who was helping in the shop, and said helplessly: "If the eldest young master is willing to help in the shop, I believe the business in the shop will be better."
"After the eldest young master came to Licheng, he either drank tea in the teahouse every day or stayed up all night and stayed in Yixiang Pavilion all night. Uncle Xian, this is not the way to go. If the master asks, it will be difficult for us to explain.
