Chapter 119： Debt collection

Chapter 119 Debt settlement

As a result, retribution has really come now. Her son is missing, her husband is in jail, and she is completely alone.

Gu Rong did not feel gloating about his misfortune.

Zhang Guifen has long had nothing to do with him, and Gu Rong has long regarded them as strangers, so whether they are living well or not, it cannot affect his mood at all.

While having dinner, Pei Tiantian was concentrating on holding a plate of beans in front of her bowl with her little fleshy hands.

I picked up one and was about to put it in the bowl when my chopsticks slipped and the bean fell onto the table.

Pei Tiantian stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the beans again, and after several attempts in succession, she finally got them firmly in the bowl.

"Tiantian, why don't you use a spoon?" Wan Cuilan asked strangely, "Can't you just scoop a big spoonful and eat it in a bowl? Why do you have to work so hard to pick it up one by one?"

Pei Tiantian shook her head, "Second Aunt, I am young now and my wrists are not strong enough, so the master asked me to practice picking things up, including small things like beans and peanuts, so that my hands will be more stable when performing acupuncture in the future. , the acupuncture points will be more precise.”

Pei's family members all nodded silently.

Unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian was thinking about how to improve her medical skills even while eating.

Wang Ruizhen couldn't help but sigh: "Tiantian is only six years old, but she has learned more than adults."

"Nai, Gan Luo became the prime minister at the age of twelve. I am nothing, and my grades are not as good as those of Gu Rong." Pei Tiantian said, chewing peas with her small mouth.

"By the way, sister-in-law, is your restaurant business getting better and better? I heard that you have to make a reservation to eat at Boss Xie's restaurant. Otherwise, you will have to queue outside as soon as you go. Is it really so prosperous?" Pei Zhiqiang asked.

Zhou Wanhong said with a smile: "Business is indeed good, but there are also a lot of freeloaders, so the income now has a certain impact."

“Auntie, what does freeloading mean?” Pei Tiantian couldn’t help but ask.

Why hasn’t she heard Xie Jiagui mention it?

Zhou Wanhong finished the last bite of rice in the bowl and sighed: "There are many people eating in the restaurant, and some of them work in the business building. They say they are some big boss. They habitually ask for payment every time they come to eat. However, many people have outstanding debts, and when it comes time to settle the accounts at the end of the month, they keep delaying the payment and never take out the money. As a result, the debts are increasing, and the income of our restaurants has also been affected. "

"He's still a big boss working in a business building, right?" Wan Cuilan couldn't believe it.

The people who work there are so decent, how could they do such a thing.

“Then didn’t you go get the account back?” Pei Zhiwen asked.

Zhou Wanhong shook her head, "Boss Xie doesn't want to cause trouble."

Pei Tiantian frowned upon hearing this.

Xie Jiagui's family are all honest and responsible people, and they just came to the city from the countryside. I guess they were afraid because they all worked in business buildings and were well-dressed. They were probably people with backgrounds.

Afraid of offending them, and also afraid that my restaurant will be attacked by those people.

After all, for a restaurant owner, if someone reports him on food safety or business license, his restaurant will be closed down, so he has been holding back and not daring to have an attack.

Pei Tiantian felt very helpless.

She understands Xie Jiagui's concerns, but she does not agree with Xie Jiagui's approach.

If they endure it for a long time, those people will just slap their noses in their faces.

They just bullied Xie Jiagui for his honest duty.

Pei Tiantian poked at the rice in the bowl thoughtfully.

She is also somewhat suspicious of those who claim to be bosses.

Xie Jiagui's restaurant is not a five-star hotel. If it is really the boss, and he is someone who has seen the world, how can he take advantage of such a small restaurant.

Moreover, the more background and status people have, the more important they are about their status. How could they arrogantly go to Xie Jiagui's restaurant to take advantage of this small advantage?

This is too outrageous.

Perhaps those people are just ordinary migrant workers who like to take advantage and show off their power.

Pei Tiantian put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes and said to Wan Cuilan: "Auntie, just letting them eat and drink for free will not last long, and Tiantian feels that those people are not big bosses at all, so she is afraid I came to the city just to bully Uncle Xie. I don’t know anything and I don’t dare to offend anyone, so I’m so bold and deceitful.”

Zhou Wanhong's eyes paused, and she suddenly felt that what Pei Tiantian said made sense.

In addition to wearing suits, several of those people were young people, only in their early twenties. How could they be big bosses?

Zhou Wanhong also had doubts. Although she didn't delve into it carefully, now that she thought about it, something was wrong everywhere.

So Zhou Wanhong told Xie Jiagui her conjecture when she was at work.

Xie Jiagui was also stunned for a while, "That makes sense."

"No matter what their status is, since they work in the business building, let's just go there and make a fuss. I wonder if those people dare to default on their bills." Zhong Xiuying is also holding her breath these days.

Who wants to serve a group of old men who eat and drink for free all day long?

Xie Jiagui nodded calmly, "Yes, I can't bear it any longer. It doesn't matter if he offends others or not, at worst, we can pack up and go back to the countryside. We won't be affected by this cowardice!"

“Boss, I heard that the provincial leaders will come to the business building to inspect next Monday…”

The new and clever clerk in the store suddenly spoke.

Xie Jiagui stared at him thoughtfully and immediately understood what he meant.

On Monday, Xie Jiagui put up a sign saying he was closed for business, and then walked to the business building with the people in the store and the account books.

Xie Jiagui was also extremely uneasy, because such a thing was really bold and he had never done it before.

At the door of the business building, the security guard at the door suddenly stopped them, "What are you doing?"

"We are the restaurant responsible for the meals for this inspection team. We are here to communicate with the people in the logistics department about relevant information, otherwise we will not be able to arrange meals at noon." Zhou Wanhong said anxiously and wisely.

The security guard glanced at them suspiciously and saw that Xie Jiagui and the others were calm and composed, as if nothing was wrong.

“You need to register first.”

Xie Jiagui nodded and wrote the name of his imperial kitchen on it.

Of course the security guard knows the name of the restaurant Yushanfang. Although he has never eaten there, many people in his work unit eat there.

Now the security guard no longer had any suspicion and let Xie Jiagui and his party in.

Xie Jiagui and his party just came in, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“You managed to sneak in like this, Wan Hong, you are so awesome.” Zhong Xiuying said, covering her chest.

Zhou Wanhong smiled and said, "I used to be in charge of logistics in a food factory. I did a lot of work like receiving leaders, so I couldn't help but blurt it out."

Xie Jiagui silently gave a thumbs up to Zhou Wanhong, and then the group walked to the first floor of the lobby.

As soon as Xie Jiagui entered the lobby on the first floor, he saw a group of people coming in from another entrance of the hall.

Many people had work badges hanging on their chests, and the man walking in the middle looked particularly familiar.

Xie Jiagui glanced at it and his legs felt a little weak. The face looked too familiar. His name was Hao Guojian. He was a character who often appeared in newspapers. Even ordinary people at the lowest level like Xie Jiagui knew it.

Xie Jiagui felt that his next move was too bold, but now he had to take action.

So Xie Jiagui gritted his teeth and rushed directly to the group of them, "I am the owner of the Yushanfang Restaurant. You people here have been paying bills with us for several months without settling, so I came here in person today. , Our restaurant is a small business, no matter how good the business is, it will not be able to sustain itself. "

Xie Jiagui's voice was very loud and loud, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

A group of people were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing like asking for food money in person.

"What are you causing trouble here? We have important things to do now, we will talk about it later."

One of the middle-aged men wearing glasses said in a deep voice with an ugly expression.

Hao Guojian frowned and waved his hand to stop the man from speaking, "It is natural to pay back debts. This is not an important matter, so what else is important? Your staff here force people to come to their homes in person if they owe money. Don’t you feel ashamed if you ask for it?”

The man's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

After Hao Guojian finished speaking, he said warmly to Xie Jiagui: "Comrade, it doesn't matter. If you have anything, you can tell me and I will help you make the decision."

Xie Jiagui was so scared that his legs were weak, and he really wanted to cry at this moment.

With a trembling voice, he told Hao Guojian about those people who were freeloaders.

The account books written down were also given to Hao Guojian for review, and Hao Guojian asked his men to check them immediately.

After a while, the freeloaders who loved to eat at Xie Jiagui's restaurant were caught.

 It is indeed true that Pei Tiantian guessed that those people were either big bosses or ordinary employees working in the building, and some were even college students who had just graduated.

Because the consumption level in the city is high, I am used to going to small restaurants with no background as a government official to take advantage of them.

Those people did not expect that Xie Jiagui would have the courage to come to the door to ask for money.

Hao Guojian said to the middle-aged man wearing glasses with a serious face, and said meaningfully: "You are not strict in your governance."

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale again, and he sternly shouted at those people: “Why don’t you quickly pay back the money you owe others?”

The people hurriedly took out the money and handed it to Xie Jiagui. Xie Jiagui counted it carefully and found that the money they gave was too much, so he returned it to them.

Seeing this scene, Hao Guojian had a better impression of Xie Jiagui.

This boss is indeed an honest man.

Those people all admitted their mistakes with sad faces and were willing to accept the punishment.

One of the young people also said: "The food in the imperial kitchen is so delicious that I don't want to think about it. I just can't help it..."

The leaders who heard the inspection turned dark again.

What kind of excuse is this? No matter how delicious the food is, you can't just eat it for free.

After Xie Jiagui received the money, he said thank you to Hao Guojian and prepared to leave.

But he was stopped by Hao Guojian, "Boss Xie, how about we have dinner at your restaurant today at noon?"

Xie Jiagui turned around blankly.

Hao Guojian smiled and looked at him gently.

Xie Jiagui was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky, and he took Hao Guojian and his group to his restaurant in a daze.

Zhou Wanhong also felt a little dizzy. She didn't expect such a big shot to patronize their restaurant.

This made her feel a little unreal.

Zhou Wanhong’s legs felt a little weak as she walked on the road, and suddenly she stopped.

Her eyes rested on a security guard who came to change shifts not far away. He was walking with a slight limp.

He was wearing a security uniform, with dark skin and strong facial features, and he looked so familiar.

Zhou Wanhong's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost, and she couldn't help but say: "Zou Hao..."

The security guard's ears were very sensitive. After he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Zhou Wanhong. His expression became extremely complicated, but he quickly turned his head and pretended not to recognize him and entered the security room.

“Wan Hong, why are you in a daze? Let’s go quickly.” Zhong Xiuying reminded.

Zhou Wanhong nodded absently and followed the group out.

There are countless mysteries in her heart.

Zou Hao, it’s definitely him, that’s right.

Although Zhou Wanhong had only met Zou Hao a few times, she was still very impressed by his appearance, so she recognized him as soon as she saw him.

But it was Zou Min who told them personally that Zou Hao was dead?

Now it seems that he is not dead at all, but why did he come here to work as a security guard?

And the leg is lame.

What happened to him?

Zhou Wanhong shook her head and quickly put this matter in her heart. The most important thing now is to get back to work.

As soon as Hao Guojian entered Xie Jiagui's restaurant, he couldn't help but look around and said to Xie Jiagui, "It's very good. Boss Xie has great taste and the decoration is nice."

Xie Jiagui smiled happily and said humbly, "Where is it?"

Then Zhou Wanhong and the new clerk led the group of people to sit at several tables respectively, and learned that even the tables had names, Ruyi Table, Lucky Table, and Qilin Table.

Hao Guojian was given the word "good" again.

Xie Jiagui's chest swelled even more when he heard this. He was in high spirits and cooked several tables of specialty dishes for Hao Guojian and his party.

Hao Guojian and his party have never eaten in any restaurant. After all, they are all people who have seen the world. But this time when they ate Xie Jiagui's food, they felt that the food in this restaurant was really different, and the taste was really indescribable. tasty.

The vegetables are fresh and delicious. Some vegetable soups look very bland without any seasonings, but they taste so addictive.

Xie Jiagui told them that his dishes are shipped from the countryside every day and are guaranteed to be absolutely fresh and natural.

After Hao Guojian finished eating, he couldn't help but praise a few words, and others also praised him one after another.

Xie Jiagui happily introduced them to some of his tips for making delicious signature dishes, and also told them that they could do the same when cooking at home, so that the food would taste better.

Hao Guojian looked at Xie Jiagui with a smile and nodded.

It’s been blocked. Change the zf building into a business building, otherwise it will be blocked ()σ Just let it go.
