The senior managers are no longer in a hurry.

Since Zhou Youwei has a gambling background, it will be easy.

The people in this gambling house usually won't be driven by outsiders, especially the gamblers in the gambling house. The fact that they followed Zhou Youwei out today must be the intention of the gambling house owner.

Under what circumstances would the owner of the gambling house be alerted?

Generally there are only two types.

One is that Youwei owed the gambling house a lot of money this week, and the other is that Youwei won a lot of money from the gambling house this week. According to the information that Yuanbao found out, Youwei did not win any money this week.

Therefore, there is only the first possibility, that Zhou Youwei owed the gambling house a lot of money again.

Thinking of this, he collected his thoughts, glanced at Zhou Youwei and said with disgust: "Mr. Zhou, please be patient. Our boss said that the two thousand taels of silver can be given, but you have to sign the severance document as collateral first, and the silver will be given to you immediately."

Zhou Youwei was not happy: "What are you talking about? Why should I sign my name? I won't sign. If you have money, just give it to me. Don't force me to destroy this place."

"That won't work. Our boss said that as long as you sign the pledge, we'll give you the money right away. But if you insist on hurting people or the shop, I'm sorry, but we'll see you at the government office!" The senior manager replied toughly.

When the people behind Zhou Youwei heard that they were going to report the incident to the government, they immediately looked at each other.

Zhou Youwei owed money to the gambling house, and they were not afraid even if the case was really brought to the government.

But this time Zhou Youwei came to this shop to ask for money for no reason, and brought them here to cause trouble... If this matter really gets brought to the government, the owner of this shop will be desperate and they will all have to go to jail.

By then, not only will they fail to do their job and collect the money, but they will also put the gambling house in dire straits. Then their boss will have to fire them.

What's more, the man behind their gambling house is a ruthless person...

"You...you you you...Jiang Luo dares!" Zhou Youwei glared at her with those dead fish eyes and kept pacing back and forth.

He had never thought of signing the document. He was different from others, as his Zhou family was at least related to the Duke's wife, Qin.

He had already thought about it. If this little girl dismissed him right away, he would go out and shout all over the capital, saying that she was heartless and unfilial.

Her stepmother had run the shop for her for more than ten years, but she was not grateful at all and drove away her uncle from her mother's side as soon as she took over.

By then, the little girl will give him a large sum of hush money for the sake of her reputation.

Sure enough, he came to the shop several times to ask for money, and not only did they provide him with good food and drink, but they also had to give him the money immediately.

Ha ha……

He was hoping to use this document to blackmail the little girl. If she signed it, where would he get the money?

How can he win money in the gambling house without money?

The fortune teller on the street, whenever he saw him these days, would pull him aside and tell him that he would have good fortune recently, and that his fortune was not small...

Doesn’t that mean he’ll definitely win a lot of money?

He can't miss this opportunity to get money, otherwise how can he win big money.

The senior manager naturally saw through his thoughts and knew his concerns.

He stopped paying attention to Zhou Youwei and bowed to the people behind him. He smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I don't want to delay your business. You can take the money from Mr. Zhou as long as he signs the document. This is his business with our shop and has nothing to do with you. After he signs and takes the money, you can go back and report. Isn't this the best of both worlds? Why do we have to go to the government? Don't you think this makes sense?"

After hearing this, several people said, yes, that’s the truth!

Their purpose today was to get the silver. Who cares whether Zhou Youwei signed or sealed his name? As long as they could get back the silver Zhou Youwei owed to the gambling house without alerting the government, why not do it?

Several people looked at each other, and one of them who seemed to be the leader stepped forward, held Zhou Youwei, and shouted in a rough voice: "Sign quickly, I don't have time to waste here with you. We are waiting to go back and report so that we can go to the next house!"

He caught Zhou Youwei like catching a mouse and warned him fiercely: "Don't play tricks on me. If I get upset, I'll take the money and chop off your hand. We are all impatient and can't stand slowness."

Zhou Youwei was so frightened that he bent his back, his face pale with fear, and his whole body was covered with cold sweat. He quickly flattered, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll sign it right away, I'll sign it right away..." It was completely different from the smug look he had when he first came.

Upon hearing this, the sturdy man loosened his grip on his neck. Zhou Youwei stumbled and fell flat on his face.

He didn't dare to stay on the ground any longer, and quickly got up. He didn't dare to delay anything, and looked at the senior manager evasively: "Where's the document? Bring it here quickly, Master Zhou will draw it for you. By the way, is the silver ready?"

How could the senior manager pay any attention to him? He just winked at Yuanbao behind him. Yuanbao understood immediately and ran to the room where the senior manager was resting. After a while, he came out with the documents.

The senior manager took the document from Yuanbao's hand and handed it to Zhou Youwei: "Here is the document, Mr. Zhou, you'd better sign it quickly. You will get the silver. Our boss always keeps his word, and Mr. Zhou should know this better than others!" The sarcasm in his words was obvious.

Zhou Youwei was in no mood to pay attention to these things at the moment. He was just worried that if he was a step slower, the people behind him would immediately chop off his hands and arms.

He glared at the senior manager and said, "Hmph!", his face full of reluctance. But he still had to grab the document in front of him and walked towards the counter.

The senior manager finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly followed with the ink pad in his hand, and his steps were more relaxed than before.

Little Yuanbao followed closely, staring at Zhou Youwei with his small round eyes, for fear that he would play tricks again and cause trouble for the senior management.

He had been in this shop for more than a month and knew that this "Mr. Zhou" was a big worry for the senior manager. Now that this matter was dealt with, the senior manager might feel better.

Mr. Gao has no worries, so he is happy too!

The threat from the gambling house's thugs was quite effective. Zhou Youwei signed the agreement very quickly without causing any trouble: "Here, you old man, look carefully, I have already signed the agreement. Hurry up and take the silver, go quickly... If you keep talking nonsense, I will smash this shop!"

Although the senior manager felt sorry for the two thousand taels of silver, when he thought about the things that the young lady had discussed with him... the young lady had asked her to calculate how much silver she had given to Zhou Youwei in total, and then she would make Mr. Zhou return three or five times the amount.

When he thought of this, he endured the pain and took out all the banknotes and handed them to Zhou Youwei. Zhou Youwei immediately snatched them away, like a hungry wolf that had not eaten a full meal for many days and finally encountered a delicious meal.

The several strong men behind him put down their fists when they saw that he could really get the silver from here.
