Chapter 47 Who is the most cunning
Bao Zixing looked a little weak and frosted, and it was obvious that he had not been doing well recently. Su Luo was in a complicated mood. She used her eyes to signal the fleet of luxury cars to block Bao Zixing's way, and gritted her teeth and snorted, "Long time no see."
Bao Zixing looked at her hesitantly, and finally sighed, his face full of helplessness. Su Luo was about to make a sarcastic remark, but Zhou Chongwen pulled Su Luo's sleeve and said, "Don't be like this, he has his own difficulties."
Su Luo glared at Zhou Si fiercely and raised his voice sharply, "Does a liar have his own reasons?"
Bao Zixing's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted, "Girl, I, Bao Zixing, have indeed let you down, but I am definitely not a liar. I have been away for so long just to find Wang Han and get your money back."
"Did you catch him?" Su Luo snorted , "Where's the silver?"
Bao Zixing's face turned extremely bad, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying anything. Su Luo snorted and laughed, "How much do you want to cheat me this time? Do you have any brothers in trouble who need help?"
Her two sentences were extremely sarcastic, and Bao Zixing's slightly plump body trembled. Zhou Chongwen repeatedly signaled her with his eyes but she pretended not to see it, and her heart was full of contempt for the scammer gang.
"Wang Han is my brother." Bao Zixing took a while to speak, "I will pay off the money he owes you." He took out two pieces of paper from his arms, "This is the deed of my bun shop and my house. I can probably get 60 or 70 taels of silver. I will find another way to get the remaining 400 taels of silver."
Su Luo felt soft-hearted for a moment. It was Wang Han who cheated her, and Bao Zixing might really be a victim, but she immediately discarded this idea and told herself that scammers are all tricks. Wang Han looked more honest than Bao Zixing, but he was also a scammer. So she said in a tough voice, "What do you want to do? Sell yourself or rob? More than four hundred taels, you can't earn that much even if you sell buns for a lifetime!"
Zhou Chongwen counted his fingers and said, "One tray of buns costs five copper coins, which is four hundred taels. I have to sell eighty thousand trays of buns. If I sell twenty trays a day, I can pay it off in ten years."
"I can do arithmetic!" Su Luo stared speechlessly, "Baozi doesn't cost money? He doesn't eat or drink?"
Zhou Chongwen lowered his head and reflected, "I forgot to calculate, um...if I sell buns, it will take at least fifteen years to pay it off."
Su Luo's powerful questioning was dispelled by Zhou Si, who could not find any fault with him. This was the highest level of changing the subject.
"I will definitely pay it back, even if it takes me a lifetime!" Bao Zixing said it firmly, and in a way that aroused sympathy, which made Su Luo speechless. What kind of world is this?
Zhou Chongwen spoke again, "I don't think Brother Bao is a sinister and cunning villain. I believe he is not lying."
Su Luo got angry and pointed at Zhou Si's nose. "You, you, what do you know? Just because he came back to act pitiful, you believe him? He might have heard from somewhere that we have opened a new business and rushed back to make another profit."
"Miss Su!" Bao Zixing was also a little angry, "You can not believe me, but please stop insulting me. I will find a way to pay back the rest of the money!" After that, he bowed to Zhou Chongwen, "Brother Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. Please find someone else to be the shopkeeper."
Su Luo was shocked when he heard this, and glared at Zhou Chongwen, "You want him to be the shopkeeper?"
Zhou Chongwen quickly pulled Bao Zixing and said to Su Luo, "Brother Bao is a businessman. His family was also wealthy in his early years. He has rich experience and will definitely be qualified for the position of shopkeeper."
"He has a bad record." Su Luo felt sad when he thought of the hundreds of taels of silver he had been cheated of. "I don't want to make the same mistake again."
"A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold, and Brother Bao is also a victim in this matter." Zhou Chongwen insisted, "You should also give Yunlang a chance, not to mention..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came down from the second floor and said, "Old Zhou, stop saying bad things about me."
Yun Lang stood at the railing on the second floor, digging his ears and impatiently said, "What are you guys arguing about? Everyone in the box can hear it."
Su Luo then realized that he had been too high-profile. He went upstairs first and entered his office as chairman and general manager. Zhou Chongwen followed closely behind him, holding Bao Zixing. Yun Lang also followed in. After listening to what had happened, he folded his arms across his chest and remained silent for a long time.
"Do you think he is not trustworthy?" Su Luo asked his comrades.
Yun Lang pursed his lips and walked over to Zhou Chongwen, putting his hand on his shoulder, "I agree with Lao Zhou's opinion this time."
Su Luo pursed her lips and waved her hand, "Go away, stop making trouble."
Yun Lang changed his usual joking expression and said, "When people make mistakes, they need a chance to correct them. Besides, he didn't really make a mistake, he was just implicated. He is loyal and came back to pay his debt. Why don't you give him a chance?"
Su Luo was furious, "Does that mean I'm wrong?"
Yun Lang nodded seriously, "I can only say that I have a responsibility."
Su Luo considered the current situation. It was one to two, which was not easy to deal with. "Anyway, I just don't agree!"
"As the second largest shareholder of Qiangui, I agree to let him stay." Zhou Chongwen also had a sense of rights. He glanced at Yunlang out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to agree.
Yun Lang really set off, "I..."
"Alright, alright." Su Luo raised his hand. "I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you want him to stay, then let him stay. But if anything goes wrong, you will be fully responsible. If there is any loss, I will deduct your shares to make up for it."
Zhou Chongwen smiled, and Yun Lang also looked pleased, even vouching for this Baozi brother whom he had only met once, "With me watching over him, this old guy will definitely be fine."
Zhou Chongwen was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Feng , for the next two months. I'll take care of the trip to Nanjing for you."
Yun Lang's face changed, "You kid..."
"Could it be that Brother Feng doesn't believe Brother Bao either? And he's unwilling to give him a chance to prove his innocence?"
"No..." Yun Lang explained naturally.
Zhou Chongwen immediately turned around to comfort Bao Zixing, "Brother Bao, don't worry. Brother Feng always keeps his word. With him here, you can just focus on being the shopkeeper. When I and Boss Su come back from Nanjing, you can prove it to Boss Su with your achievements."
Looking at Yun Lang's deflated look, Su Luo was speechless. Zhou Chongwen was so cunning.
Bao Zixing was a little confused. He really wanted to be the shopkeeper. On the one hand, it was difficult to sell buns to pay off his debts. On the other hand, his experience was more suitable for being a good shopkeeper. However, the relationships between these people seemed a bit complicated, especially between these two men.
The matter was decided, and before Yunlang rebelled, Zhou Chongwen had completed all the handover work.
Su Luo felt a little strange, not because she felt something was wrong about Bao Zixing staying, but maybe in her heart she didn't want to believe that Bao Zixing was a liar. She was strange about Yun Lang. She thought Yun Lang would resist and go to Nanjing, but who would have thought that he didn't. He accepted the reality as if nothing had happened, and even did some strange good things that were completely inconsistent with his usual behavior, such as helping Zhou Chongwen pack his luggage and helping him harness a Volkswagen Hummer.
Su Luo told himself that there might be some conspiracy behind this, but until the day they left, he did not see the bandit leader play any tricks. On the contrary, he escorted them all the way out of Zhuxian Town, waving his arms and saying goodbye, as if he couldn't wait for them to leave.
Su Luo felt even more uneasy. Don't wait for them to come back. Bao Zixing is fine, but this kid is the one with the problem, right?
