Chapter 355: Arrogance and Condescension
"Oh. When I come back from this business trip, wages will be paid this afternoon as usual, and tomorrow at the latest. The guys are all waiting for the money to go home. Do you think you signed it?"
"Also, the delivery date for this batch of underground spider silk is tomorrow. The merchant in Baoshu is a little impatient in waiting. You..."
In the past, it was Mr. Gan who signed the signature, so it should be Mr. Gan, but...
Mr. Gan was furious, slapped the table and stood up: "Money, money, money! My brother is dead and my mother is in a coma. At this time, you are still full of money? Do you have any heart at all?"
"Second Master, please calm down." People's hearts need to grow, work has to be done, and such a big Gan family has to run as usual.
"Go down and don't bother me with these nonsense!"
Manager Zhao opened his mouth but said nothing.
At this time, the door of the room opened with a creak, and the mother-in-law came out and said: "The old lady is awake and is crying for the second master."
Mr. Gan hurriedly walked in and warned Manager Zhao without looking back: "The old lady can't bear the fright. Just do whatever you want to do with these trivial matters. Don't cause any trouble!"
Not long after he entered, Manager Zhao heard Old Mrs. Mao crying heartbrokenly again.
Mr. Gan also cried with him. The two of them started to cry one after another. You responded and I cried together.
Manager Zhao sighed deeply.
He walked out and almost bumped into another person who rushed in.
"Third Master?"
It was Gan Sanye who rushed back after receiving the letter.
His eyes were red, and when he heard the crying in the inner room, he took Manager Zhao to the back hall to talk.
"Manager Zhao, what on earth is going on!"
Manager Zhao gave an overview of what happened, but of course the focus was on how Mr. Gan was killed.
Mr. Gan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he plopped down in the chair. After a long time, he struggled to say: "Have my eldest brother's funeral arrangements been arranged?"
"Ah, I just arranged it with the second master." It took a lot of effort.
Because the second master was choked and unable to speak, he stopped several times during the process.
Mr. Gan said twice: "Then we, behind us..."
Usually the eldest brother holds up the sky above the Gan family. Now that the sky has collapsed, what will they do next?
Zhao Fu waited patiently for his next words. After Mr. Gan died, the leadership of the Gan House and the Chamber of Commerce was transferred to the hands of other Gan family members. If they didn't advocate, what could their servants do?
Mr. Gan was full of expectations: "Then the affairs in the chamber of commerce are also temporarily handled by the second brother?"
"This... I don't even know." Manager Zhao smiled bitterly, "Second Master is too sad and doesn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters."
Gan Sanye coughed again: "Then the Chamber of Commerce has no one to take care of it, isn't it a mess?"
"Third Master is willing to take over?" Manager Zhao could not hide his surprise.
Mr. Gan Sanye said bravely, "Tell me first."
"Okay, okay, our Gan family merchants have 112 people. They are mainly engaged in the magic nest business. They mainly deal in cloth, herbal medicine, ore, and are also involved in seven small categories. The Gan family has 400 acres of fields irrigated with high-quality water. , 1,100 acres of Zhongtian; as for shops, there are eight in Wuze County and twelve in Bailong Township..."
Manager Zhao roughly sorted it out for him. If it were written into a document, it would be six to seven hundred words, and then said: "I have to go to the accounting room to read the rest. It is clearly registered in the book... Third Master?"
Gan Sanye heard this with his mouth half open, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
So much, so much trouble?
He was a little shaken and reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll go see it another day. Is there usually someone to take care of this?"
"Some do, some don't. In the past, the master would make temporary arrangements, and Director An would usually take charge." Manager Zhao said with a little selfishness, "Sometimes, the master would ask me to handle it."
The reminder was so obvious that Mr. Gan just said "Huh" and did not express his position.
Manager Zhao's heart suddenly went cold.
Sure enough, Mr. Gan didn't even want to entrust it to him at this time, and 90% of the time he wanted someone named Luo to take over. Manager Zhao secretly snorted and said, "Then there is the most important thing right now."
"Huh? And?" The reluctance on Gan Sanye's face was no longer concealed, "Just tell me."
"The Gan Family Chamber of Commerce is the only one in Wu Ze County. In addition to Mr. Gan's extraordinary skills, he also relies on the unique business of the Devil's Nest." Manager Zhao is still working for the Gan Family Chamber of Commerce. There is more to say, "But This time, our caravan was kidnapped by bandits and went to the Spider Queen's territory to cover them in stealing the treasures from the underground palace. Although the bandits failed in the end, the Spider Queen no longer trusted us as before, so she handed over the token of entering and exiting the swamp to another person. A teenager."
"Oh..." Mr. Gan nodded, "Then what?"
He usually knows a little about the business at home.
Looking at his expression, Manager Zhao knew that he did not understand the seriousness of this: "The trouble is that we can no longer enter the Demon Nest Swamp without a pass, and will be blocked by the mirage on the outside. In this way, the Gan Chamber of Commerce will no longer be able to get The Spider Queen’s unique business may not have any advantage in Wuze County in the future.”
He smiled bitterly: "The news of Mr. Gan's death will spread throughout the county in less than two days. At that time, people's hearts will be shaken." The moment of turmoil for the Gan family will come.
Gan Sanye finally realized the seriousness of the problem: "This token is so important, why did the Spider Queen give it to others?"
"It trusts the young man even more." Manager Zhao explained, "The bandit was defeated because of this young man. He interceded on our behalf with the Spider Queen, asking the Gan family caravan to accompany him to the capital of Bega Kingdom."
Gan Sanye breathed a sigh of relief: "This is easy to handle. Just say that I agree, and he will give us the token, right?"
"It's not that simple." Manager Zhao shook his head, "The Spider Queen asked us to send him to the capital of Bejia, so that we can get the passage order."
"What?" Third Master Gan was unhappy, "We have to deliver it to the capital of Beijia first? Then won't we miss the autumn delivery period?" Even if he didn't care about business, he knew that Master Gan was busiest in spring and autumn.
"This is the condition for the caravan to leave the Demon Nest, and we have to agree to it."
"After he arrived at the capital of Beijia, he could still give us a pass? It's absurd, only a fool would believe it, right?" Third Master Gan sneered, "This is taking advantage of the fire, the Gan family can't be pedantic!"
Manager Zhao woke him up: "Third Master, this is equivalent to the Spider Queen giving the power to select the caravan to this Mr. He, we must treat it with caution. He is now in Yuanzhi Restaurant, waiting to meet with the Gan family."
After saying this, he saw Third Master Gan's face suddenly change, as if embarrassed and unbelievable: "Yuanzhi Restaurant?"
"Tall, seventeen or eighteen years old, sitting by the window in coarse cloth clothes?" Don't, don't! "Look arrogant?"
It doesn't seem too arrogant, right? Manager Zhao exclaimed, "That's right. Have you been to Yuanzhi Restaurant just now?"
"..." Third Master Gan coughed lightly, "Just passing by. By the way, I have something else to do. Let your second brother contact him."
"???"
Second Master? Second Master had already given up everything except comforting the old lady. Manager Zhao was speechless.
Third Master Gan slipped away faster than when he came.
¥¥¥¥¥
He Lingchuan scratched his ears.
So that's it.
A quarter of an hour later, someone went upstairs.
He Lingchuan saw it in advance while sitting on the second floor. It was Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. He, please follow me."
"Are the Gan family free?" He Lingchuan smiled but didn't smile, "Did they agree to let me in?"
"Ah?" Manager Zhao laughed dryly, "Why do you say that?"
"Just now Third Master Gan indulged in hurting people and asked me to wait here, threatening to make me look bad." He Lingchuan spread his hands, "I'm waiting here."
Manager Zhao stared.
No wonder Third Master Gan had such a wonderful expression when he heard that Master He was in Yuanzhi Restaurant.
He offended someone before he could settle the big deal.
He cursed Third Master Gan in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling: "Is it a misunderstanding? I..."
"I heard that Second Master Gan never cares about things. You let Third Master Gan talk to me. I am still waiting for you here." He Lingchuan said lightly, "If he doesn't come within a quarter of an hour, I will leave. There are more than just Gans in the caravan that can go to the capital of the demon country."
Such a tough attitude? After hearing his last sentence, Manager Zhao immediately responded: "Okay." Then he turned and left.
The Gan family lost its boss, and it seemed that the big tree was about to fall. He had the Shi's Chamber of Commerce as the next home, so what was he afraid of?
The two guys on the side also recognized Manager Zhao. Seeing that he was respectful to He Lingchuan, they couldn't help but look at each other.
This was completely different from Third Master Gan's attitude. What was the Gan family doing? I didn't understand.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the wooden staircase of the restaurant rang again, but this time it rang slowly, and it was obvious that the person going upstairs was somewhat reluctant.
That Third Master Gan came, followed by Manager Zhao.
Third Master Gan came to the table and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your righteousness in the swamp and saving my caravan."
The word "righteousness" was pronounced particularly loudly.
Would he feel embarrassed when being complimented for being righteous? Third Master Gan thought highly of him. He Lingchuan did not even put down his wine glass, but shook it in his hand twice: "I have been waiting for Third Master, waiting for something good to happen."
"I was rude just now." Third Master Gan's teeth were almost broken, and he had to continue to act according to the script of being arrogant at first and respectful later, "I apologize for you here."
He Lingchuan said "Oh".
"About the pass..."
"Is that all?" Can He Lingchuan easily let him go? He sat here for more than an hour, how to calculate the time cost? Although his time is not worth much now. "Killing people in the market, destroying my place here, and you just apologize and it's over?"
"You..." Gan Sanye said 360 curses in his stomach, "What do you want?"
He Lingchuan leaned against the window and said, "First of all, this meal belongs to you, and the loss of Yuanzhi Restaurant from being smashed and destroyed also belongs to you, and it cannot be less than two gold coins."
It's embarrassing to pay money, but it's easy to do. Gan Sanye nodded to Manager Zhao, who called the shopkeeper up and handed him two gold coins.
The shopkeeper thought he was dreaming as he held the heavy little gold ingot.
This guest really got it right. Gan Sanye, who is domineering in Wuze County, will also give people compensation?
"Secondly, the hunter you injured is lying in Beisong Pharmacy, which seems to be just two streets away. You go and compensate him for his losses, and you have to compensate him until he is satisfied."
