Chapter 220 Start with Him
Xiao Ran waved his hand and stood up in an instant.
"Is this how you do business?"
Shi Zhou soothed him, "Don't be angry, sir. There's a tea shop next to us. We'll buy some tea while we're talking! Please wait a moment!"
"Wait for nothing! What I hate most is waiting! Linzhou Prefecture is not the only cloth shop you have. It will be the same if I go to other places to do business!"
After that, he said to Dong, "Let's go!"
"Yes, Master!"
Donglai pushed Su Xiaoxiao and followed Xiao Ran out of Xinglong Cloth Shop.
Shi Zhou was unwilling to let the deal go to waste, so he immediately chased after Xiao Ran and kept following him, saying nice things to him, hoping that Xiao Ran would change his mind.
As a result, Xiao Ran was furious and strode forward with his chest and head held high, without even looking at Shi Zhou.
Dong Lai persuaded him, "My young master said he doesn't want to do this business anymore, so he won't do this business anymore. Don't bother my young master anymore. It's all your own fault for not having integrity."
"Sir, I was indeed negligent about the tea leaves. Can you give me another chance?"
Xiao Ran still ignored him and continued walking forward.
Seeing that there was really no hope at all, Shizhou reluctantly stopped and returned dejectedly.
A great business was ruined by a small piece of tea.
He wanted to slap himself twice.
But when he raised his hand, he was afraid of the pain and put it down again.
But he was determined to get this out no matter what.
Xiao Ran and the other two walked a long way, and only stopped and burst into laughter after they were sure that Shi Zhou had not caught up with them and could no longer see them.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Just watching you teach that little fat boy a lesson, I felt really relieved!"
Donglai also agreed, "Yes, that person is going too far!"
Xiao Ran put his hands on his waist, looking proud.
"If we hadn't finished reading the account books, I would have revealed my identity, beat him up first, and then taught that shopkeeper Fan a lesson."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in approval.
"There's something wrong with this shop's account books. Have you noticed?"
"I've discovered it. There are clearly a lot of customers, but there are very few records in the account book. There must be something wrong."
"Yes, we have to investigate thoroughly!"
Donglai suddenly thought of something.
"Master, Madam, we still have more than a dozen shops. Will this situation happen to other shops as well?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.
"It's hard to say. Let's first find out what's going on and deal with them one by one!"
Xiao Ran also ignited his fighting spirit.
"Right! I just don't believe that I, the great Young Master Xiao, can't control these little idiots!"
He then said to Donglai, "Arrange two people to thoroughly investigate Xinglong Cloth Shop."
"Yes!"
Su Xiaoxiao added: "And that guy named Wang Ning!"
"Yes!"
The group returned to the inn, and Donglai immediately arranged for people to investigate the matter of Xinglong Cloth Shop.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran returned to the room to continue looking at the account book.
Before dark, Donglai entered the room to report the news.
"Master, the young mistress has checked everything out!"
"what's the situation?"
"This Manager Fan came to Xinglong Cloth Shop as the manager ten years ago, recommended by the previous manager and his wife. Because his wife was frail at the time, she didn't come to check on the situation in person. Over the years, Manager Fan has managed Xinglong Cloth Shop to great success. It's a well-known name in Linzhou Prefecture, and half of the city's residents come to Xinglong Cloth Shop to buy cloth!"
Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at the account book on the table with the words "Xinglong Cloth Shop" written on it, as if thinking about something.
"Business is booming, but the account books are pitifully thin. If you didn't know better, you'd think this cloth shop might go bankrupt any day! What a trick!"
Xiao Ran slammed the table hard, "How dare you show us fake account books? How despicable!"
He looked at Donglai again, "How is the situation at Manager Fan's home?"
Donglai replied, "I used to be a poor man, but now I live in a huge courtyard with a lot of servants waiting on me."
"It seems like he has embezzled a lot of my money over the years!"
Dong Lai said, "Most people in Linzhou Prefecture thought this cloth shop belonged to Manager Fan. No one knew it was the shop left behind by the Madam!"
"I see. This way he can be even more blatantly greedy!"
Thinking about how much money was embezzled, Xiao Ran's chest was heaving with anger.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Where's Wang Ning?"
"Wang Ning was a student. Later, due to his poor family and lack of money for further studies, he worked as a clerk in a cloth shop to make a living. One day, when Shopkeeper Fan was doing his accounts, Wang Ning overheard him and quickly calculated the exact amount. As a result, Shopkeeper Fan gave him a valuable position. However..."
Xiao Ran asked, "Just what?"
"It's just that Shopkeeper Fan's brother-in-law, Shi Zhou, who was teased by the young master today, looks down on Wang Ning and often bullies him! In order to make money, Wang Ning has no choice but to swallow his anger."
Xiao Ran nodded after hearing this.
"This Wang Ning is not simple!"
Su Xiaoxiao also agreed.
"Yeah! Why don't we start with him?"
Xiao Ran had the same idea, and the two hit it off immediately.
This matter must be dealt with quickly, the sooner the better, so the two decided to take action tonight.
The cloth shop closes before dark. The guys clean up the shop and then go home to rest.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran came to the road that Wang Ning had to take to go home and waited for him.
In an empty alley, Wang Ning finally appeared.
It's just that Wang Ning had some injuries on his face.
Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ning, and Wang Ning was startled.
When he saw the other person's face clearly, he was slightly surprised.
"Two guests? Why are you here?"
Xiao Ran was the first to speak: "We are waiting for you here!"
"wait for me?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, we are waiting for you!"
Wang Ning was puzzled. "I'm just a clerk. I can't do business with you two. What's the point of you looking for me?"
Only then did Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran notice the bruise on the corner of Wang Ning's mouth.
Xiao Ran asked nervously, "Did Shi Zhou inflict this injury on you?"
Wang Ning smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Sorry to have made you laugh!"
Shi Zhou and Xiao Ran failed to reach a deal, so they took out their anger on Wang Ning when they returned to the cloth shop.
"He bullies you so much, why are you still here? Can't you make money somewhere else?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. But Shizhou is already a tyrant here, and he has connections with other businesses. If I don't work here anymore, he will make it impossible for me to find a job. I have a seriously ill mother at home, so I have no choice but to endure it!"
"Too deceiving!"
Wang Ning clasped his hands together and bowed to Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao.
"We met by chance, and I'm honored that you and your wife are thinking of me like this."
"You're welcome! Actually, we wanted to see you here for something else!"
"Something else?"
"Correct!"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "If we take charge of the situation for you and let you get revenge, would you be willing?"
