“Pay back the money quickly. If you don’t, we’ll stay here and make sure you can’t do business anymore!”
“Look at the current state of Fushun Tower, whether or not it continues to do business probably doesn’t even matter to Manager Feng. Your approach is useless, I suggest we go straight into Fushun Tower, take whatever we can get our hands on, and get back some of the money we lost.”
“That’s right, let’s go in and take their stuff!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd agreed, preparing to charge into Fushun Tower. If it hadn’t been for Feng Yongkang and Ma Tong desperately blocking them, they would have already stormed into Fushun Tower to loot.
In that moment, Fushun Tower was crowded and bustling with noise. “Everyone, please listen to me.” Gong Qingsheng, who had just received news, shouted.
The previously noisy crowd quieted down upon seeing the arrival of the pavilion chief.
Someone addressed Gong Qingsheng, “Chief, asking for a repayment of a debt is a matter of principle, we can’t afford to lose any more money. We have to consider ourselves, demanding our money is the right thing to do.”
“Yes, asking for repayment is only fair. However, this situation is complicated since it involves the scammer Qi Changfu.” Gong Qingsheng wiped the sweat off his forehead, “I’ve already sent people to investigate the situation, they should have some results in a couple of days.”
“Please grant me three to four days to get things clear. Afterwards, I will ensure everyone’s fairness, I promise none of you will be taken disadvantage of.
“We all run businesses in this town, dealing with each other on a daily basis. This kind of disturbance will only make us a laughingstock. Hear me out, let s go back for now. Once I have figured out the situation, I will provide you with
an explanation.”
Gong Qingsheng, as the pavilion chief, has an excellent reputation for fairness. Following his words, those demanding their money glanced at each other and stopped their disturbance.
“We can give you three to four days as you asked, Chief. But if we don’t get a resolution after four days, we’ll resolve this in our own way, and you shouldn’t
say anything then.”
“Yes, absolutely. We can’t afford to delay, we have rent to pay for our shops, we need to get back the money from the goods we purchased, and we have families to feed at home, we can’t wait.”
“Everyone, please relax. I assure you I will handle this matter. There will be an answer in four days.” Gong Qingsheng saluted, “It’s getting late now, everyone should leave. Let’s disperse.”
Out of respect for Gong Qingsheng, the crowd dispersed as he suggested.
However, many people didn’t forget to throw some harsh words at Feng
Yongkang as they were leaving.
They were usually as close as brothers, but now since Fushun Tower is in trouble, they behaved like enemies. Feng Yongkang listened to their harsh words, his heart burning with anger.
Who had he offended? With an annoying chef like this, he felt very wronged. Everyone was asking him for money. Who should he ask for the money that Qi Changfu had taken from him?
When Qi Changfu left, he took a lot of advance wages and also borrowed money from the staff. Who should he turn to for justice?
Feng Yongkang became increasingly indignant. After everyone had left, he spat in the direction they had gone, cursing, “What kind of people are they? All of them are only concerned about money!”
“Manager Feng.” Gong Qingsheng frowned, his previously smiling face becoming serious, “No matter what, everyone has suffered losses here. They lost a lot of money without any reason, and they are naturally unhappy. The stamp on the contract is from your Fushun Tower, it’s only natural they ask you to repay the debt.”
“Manager Feng, instead of thinking of ways to solve these problems, you’re complaining about the debtors. What’s the meaning of this?”
Gong Qingsheng had been working hard to mop things up here, while Feng Yongkang was showing blatant contempt. Gong Qingsheng felt like he was offering pearls before swine. What was the point?
Gong Qingsheng’s impression of Feng Yongkang plummeted drastically.
Feng Yongkang was angry, and when he heard Gong Qingsheng appearing to take the side of the debtors, he became even more furious, ” If the chief has already made up his mind, it doesn’t matter what I do.”
“Some people are like this, they speak of fairness and justice, but who knows what they really think? Think about it, perhaps what was said earlier was not meant for others to hear, but for me. When it’s time for me to pay, Don’t make a fuss and just be a good person, right?”
“But is that the right thing to say, the right thing to do? Qi Changfu took Fushun Tower’s money as well, who should I ask for a repayment? Who will care about my problems? Who will give me justice?”
“If you want to scam me and ensure peace in the town, just say it straight, don’t beat around the bush. You scam me and still want me to help count the money? That’s not happening!”
Feng Yongkang spoke with righteous indignation.
Listening to this, Gong Qingsheng was full of resentment.
If he hadn’t managed to stop the crowd earlier, Fushun Tower would have been emptied. They wouldn’t have had another chance to do business. He had worked hard to persuade everyone to leave, giving them some time to deal with the problem. But it turned out that Feng Yongkang didn’t even appreciate his efforts. In fact, he thought that he was being scammed!
Such people always think about themselves, and assume the whole world is against them!
Gong Qingsheng swallowed all the comforting words he had previously thought up, he couldn’t be bothered to say a word to the unjustified Feng Yongkang. He snorted, leaving the sentence “You can say whatever you want,” before walking off angrily.
What does ‘say whatever you want’ mean? It’s nothing more than him being rendered speechless by what he said, so now he’s taking off.
I spit on that!
What a bunch of nonsense!
Feng Yongkang clenched his neck in anger, preparing to order Ma Tong to close the door. Planning not to do business for a few days, wait until all the remaining matters have been dealt with, and then find a new chef before reopening the business.
Fushun Tower is a renowned establishment in town, there’s no reason it can’t be revived!
When Ma Tong received the order and picked up the door plank to install, he saw a figure and was startled, “Lian Rong? Chef Zhang?
“How did you get here…”
As Ma Tong’s words fell, Feng Yongkang, who was preparing to go to the backyard, immediately turned back with a grim face. He stared at Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong standing at the door for a while, a sneer full of mockery on his face.
