The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

"Miss Qin, I don't know much about this, but I heard that this shopkeeper Zhang is from Yuncheng, Ganzhou, and he may have someone backing him up."

The broker was extremely respectful and did not hide anything from Qin Ruo.

"You are honest. Aren't you afraid that this deal won't go through?"

"Where did all the original Fu Man Lou staff go? I remember there was a staff member named Qing Sheng in Fu Man Tang before. Do you know him?"

Qin Ruo said this with a smile, then changed the subject and asked about the whereabouts of the former employees of Fumanlou.

When the broker heard Qin Ruo say this, he immediately felt relieved, thinking that this deal might actually be successful.

"Miss Qin, you are too kind. Business is all about mutual consent. I think Miss Qin is a straightforward person, so she will naturally not deceive you on these matters."

"I don't know about the other waiters in Fu Man Lou, but I do know something about the waiter named Qingsheng you just mentioned. He was a poor man. Qingsheng was an orphan without a father or a mother and lived in Dahuai Lane on West Street."

"Just a few days ago, I heard that he stole things from the restaurant and was chased out by Manager Zhang. He even had one of his legs broken."

"If you ask me, it must be Zhang who did this. Qingsheng is a kind-hearted guy, and it's unlikely that he would steal things. Otherwise, he wouldn't use his monthly salary to help those beggars in the city every now and then."

The dentist comes into contact with a lot of people on a daily basis, and he actually knows the person who celebrates his birthday.

When he saw Qin Ruo asking about Qingsheng, he immediately stood up for Qingsheng.

After hearing this, Qin Ruo had a clear idea of ​​the situation in Fu Manlou.

She frowned slightly, thinking something in her mind.

She was satisfied with the geographical location of Fumanlou, but now it sounded like the situation of this restaurant was a bit complicated.

Seeing that Qin Ruo was silent, the broker did not disturb her and just waited quietly by the side.

"Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go and take a look."

Qin Ruo still didn't want to give up this opportunity, so she decided to go and take a look.

Although the original owner had dealt with Fumanlou countless times before, each time the game was traded was in the back alley, and she wanted to take a look at the internal structure of the restaurant.

There are plenty of chickens, ducks, fish and all kinds of fresh vegetables in the space. The restaurant will be taken over sooner or later.

Fumanlou has a good location and a large enough area, which quite meets my requirements.

The broker was overjoyed when he heard this, and was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that it seemed that the deal was a sure thing.

He responded hurriedly: "The current owner of the restaurant is surnamed Li, a businessman from outside the area. He lives in the restaurant now, I will take Miss Qin there right away."

Qin Ruo nodded and went to Fumanlou with the broker.

When we arrived at Fumanlou, we found that the door of the restaurant was closed. There was a notice posted on the door with the word "Transfer" written in large letters.

The scene of people coming and going like a stream is gone forever compared to the last time she came here.

The broker went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a crack and a middle-aged man with a tired face poked his head out.

The man was the businessman named Li mentioned by the broker, Shopkeeper Li.

"Take a look for yourselves and decide if you think it's a good deal. I've already made it clear that I won't sell this restaurant for less than 180 taels!"

Shopkeeper Li opened the door and invited Qin Ruo and the broker into the house, but his attitude was not very enthusiastic.

Ever since he released the news of the restaurant's transfer, people have been coming to visit in droves.

Either they took the opportunity to lower the price to an absurd level, or they came purely to watch the fun. Shopkeeper Li no longer held out any hope.

He is from another place and used to run a food shop in his hometown for more than 20 years.

After accumulating some wealth, he began to think about opening a restaurant.

After leaving his hometown, he wandered around and finally chose Taihe County.

Shopkeeper Li had not been in Taihe County long, and he encountered the transfer of Fumanlou just as he arrived.

Fumanlou is located in a prosperous area of ​​Taihe County. The building has two floors and the interior decoration is quite nice.

Since it is sold as a whole, it has all the tables, chairs, stools and kitchen equipment.

Shopkeeper Li didn't think much about it and finally agreed on a price of two hundred taels.

He thought that after the restaurant was opened, he would bring his family over.

After Manager Li took over Fumanlou, he spent a huge amount of money to renovate the restaurant.

The tables, chairs, stoves, and cooking utensils were all replaced.

But before the restaurant even opened, it suffered a heavy blow.

The accountant and the chef who had been agreed upon as partners collectively went back on their word, and on the day the restaurant was supposed to open for trial operation, no one was there.

Later, Manager Li found out that it was the brother-in-law of Zhang, the former manager of Fumanlou, who was interfering behind the scenes.

This man gathered a group of idle people and used threats and bribes to bribe the waiters he hired. Those people were afraid of getting into trouble and did not dare to come to the restaurant.

This was Shopkeeper Li's first time in Taihe County and he was unfamiliar with the place.

In order to calm the situation, he had no choice but to ask someone to act as a go-between and talk to Zhang Zhang a few times.

Manager Zhang took the opportunity to propose taking over his newly renovated restaurant for sixty taels of silver.

He also declared that no one except him would dare to buy this restaurant.

He has already done his utmost by giving sixty taels now, and he will have to think twice before giving even ten taels in the future.

The restaurant was bought for 200 taels of silver, and the decoration cost another ten taels.

We haven’t even been open for a single day and we’re already losing over a hundred taels of silver?

Shopkeeper Li naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation, but he had no way to deal with Manager Zhang and his gang.

Zhang's brother-in-law would bring a group of idle people to stand at the door every day. Ordinary people would retreat away when they saw them, and no one dared to come in.

Even if Manager Li wanted to go to the government office to file a complaint, he couldn't find a reason at all.

Since they didn't come in openly to rob or destroy things, he can't say that they broke the law.

Disillusioned, Manager Li had no choice but to sell the restaurant reluctantly. However, with the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to take over.

Shopkeeper Li was already thinking about whether or not to bow to Manager Zhang. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. He would take back as much as he could and consider it a lesson learned.

With the arrival of Qin Ruo and the broker, he had no expectation that the deal could be concluded.

Qin Ruo walked around the restaurant, observed its structure and location, and then went to the kitchen to take a look.

The restaurant has a good location and nice decoration, and is fully equipped with tables, chairs and stools. After taking over, we can just clean it up a bit and open it for business.

The kitchen is fully equipped, which saves you a lot of trouble.

Qin Ruo was satisfied. She turned around and asked Manager Li, "Manager Li, I've looked at the overall situation of the restaurant. Your asking price of 180 taels is indeed not high..."

"Girl, I see that you are still young, and I don't want to cheat you. I'm sure you don't know the inside story of the sale of my restaurant, so you should think it over carefully before you speak."

Shopkeeper Li was feeling annoyed and waved his hand to interrupt Qin Ruo.

"What? Could it be that Manager Li, you are not sincere about selling the restaurant? If you are talking about Manager Zhang, then it is nothing. I am doing business honestly, and it seems that I have nothing to do with him..."

Qin Ruo didn't mind Manager Li's attitude. She walked aside, sat down, and spoke slowly.

"Girl, what do you mean? Do you really dare to accept this restaurant?" Shopkeeper Li stood up suddenly with an expression of disbelief on his face.
