Punishing evildoers.

The looks of Liu Wen quieted the encompassing sounds for a second.

Cheng Yun’s footsteps paused, he turned his head and checked out Liu Wen with an unclear expression.

Liu Wen walked as much as him together with his large stomach, and his tone carried a touch of reproach, “Why didn’t you say something once you got here? I’ve been ready for you upstairs for a very long time. I assumed you wouldn’t come.”

Cheng Yun glanced behind him and noticed the shopkeeper’s expression of nice alarm, and he didn’t want to elucidate something.

It wasn’t Liu Wen’s fault. The world at all times favors the excessive and appears down on the low. This precept applies in every single place, not to mention in historical occasions the place social standing was clearly outlined.

However the feeling of being unable to breathe and feeling stifled in his coronary heart made Cheng Yun very uncomfortable, to not point out Yang Hongjin, who was cowering behind him. They had been invited to come back, why ought to they be humiliated for no cause?

He smiled sardonically and replied, “Mr. Liu, that’s not very form of you. I got here as scheduled however was left hanging within the store for half an hour with out even with the ability to drink water. In case you didn’t need to see me, I wouldn’t have bothered to come back and waste my money and time on tea.”

His phrases had been stuffed with sarcasm, and Liu Wen’s face modified when he heard them.

He was a sensible man, how might he not perceive what Cheng Yun meant? But it surely wasn’t acceptable for them to quarrel like this in entrance of others, so he apologized and promised to present him a passable reply, lastly persuading him to comply with him upstairs to a non-public room.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Wen instantly despatched somebody to research the state of affairs. The individual he despatched was Li Fan, who had delivered a message to him on behalf of Dr. Liu.

Li Fan was very environment friendly and it solely took him a cup of tea’s time to know the entire state of affairs. He reported all the things to Liu Wen intimately.

As a businessman, Liu Wen valued honesty essentially the most. If somebody might do such a factor proper underneath his nostril, he couldn’t think about what number of prospects and other people he had offended previously.

Furthermore, the shopkeeper had been secretly overcharging prospects for tea, and he had but to settle the account with Liu Wen. If he hadn’t caught him right this moment, and if information of such deceit had been to unfold, it might solely deliver disgrace to his Yueqiong Constructing’s repute.

Whether or not it was to placed on a present for Cheng Yun or to actually punish his subordinate, he ordered Li Fan to name the shopkeeper and inform him to admit all the things in entrance of Cheng Yun.

The shopkeeper knew he was in hassle the second Liu Wen appeared, however he had been working within the store for therefore lengthy and was way more skilled than the inexperienced Cheng Yun. After a second’s thought, he out of the blue knelt down with a “thud,” tears streaming down his face as he stated, “Boss, I used to be improper! I actually didn’t know that this younger grasp was right here to see you. It was, it was him!”

“He pointed his finger at Yang Hongjin and stated, “It’s that fool. As quickly as he got here in, he began teasing the company within the restaurant. Many individuals had been scared away by him on the door, and I had no alternative however to allow them to sit within the nook!””

“I’ve labored at Yueqiong Tower for therefore a few years, and even when I haven’t executed something nice, I’ve labored laborious for the restaurant. Isn’t it simply to make the company eat extra comfortably after they come right here?” The shopkeeper stated, moved by his personal phrases, he even shed a number of tears and crawled to Cheng Yun’s toes. “I’m sorry, sir, however please perceive my laborious work. I apologize, it’s all my fault…”

Cheng Yun was so offended that his face turned crimson. He stood up instantly and stated, “What nonsense are you speaking about? It’s simply infuriating!”

“Ah ah ah, sir, please don’t be offended. I received’t do it once more. I apologize.” The shopkeeper acted as if he was the sufferer, making it look like Cheng Yun was being unreasonable and bullying the folks underneath him, benefiting from his relationship with the boss.

Yang Hongjin, frightened by the boss’s gaze, saved shifting in direction of Cheng Yun, and even his hand was trembling barely as he held Cheng Yun’s hand.

Cheng Yun protected his personal, the shopkeeper shouldn’t have introduced up Yang Hongjin. He checked out Liu Wen and stated, “Mr. Liu your supervisor is basically succesful. I can not cope with such an individual. I could also be offended right this moment, and I’ll not care what others say about me, however I can not settle for unfounded accusations in opposition to my household.

“Hey, Cheng-Ge’er, let’s discuss issues out.” When Liu Wen heard this, he grew to become anxious and shortly tried to mediate.

“There’s nothing to speak about,” Cheng Yun snorted coldly. “I didn’t know that Yueqiong Tower was such a bullying place. If I had identified, I wouldn’t have come to you to debate cooperation. I, Cheng Yun, conduct myself uprightly and truthfully. We haven’t executed something that the shopkeeper stated. Justice naturally prevails in folks’s hearts. You’ll be able to simply ask anybody within the retailer to search out out who’s mendacity!”

Cheng Yun pulled Yang Hongjin and was about to depart. Liu Wen shortly stood as much as cease him, and his expression turned chilly. The shopkeeper was utterly shocked. Liu Wen was at all times easygoing and pleasant, and he not often bought offended at his workers. Nevertheless, after so a few years of ups and downs in society, how might Liu Wen be simply bullied? He not often bought offended, however as soon as he did, it was unstoppable.

“Do you not take me, your boss, severely? Or do you suppose I’m a simple goal to be fooled? I requested you to come back right here to present you an opportunity to elucidate this matter clearly. If it’s good to apologize, apologize. However as an alternative, you made up lies to shift the blame onto my valued buyer and nonetheless need me to assist you. Who gave you the face to try this?!” Liu Wen apologized to Cheng Yun whereas scolding the shopkeeper, “It’s my fault for not informing my workers beforehand and for not managing them nicely. I’m sorry for bringing such a hard factor to you. If it weren’t for you coming to me right this moment, I may need been fooled by this shameless individual for a very long time.”

Cheng Yun checked out him skeptically, not understanding whether or not this was his soothing phrases or not, however he couldn’t deny that he felt a lot better.

Liu Wen checked out Li Fan and waved his hand, saying, “Now, you inform me. I can’t swallow this soiled water.”

Li Fan obeyed and informed the reality about what he had discovered. He did a very good job and requested a number of folks. A few of them had benefited from the shopkeeper’s favoritism and didn’t need to reveal all the things, however most of them informed the reality. Some even stood up for Cheng Yun and complained concerning the shopkeeper’s conduct. Even the workers who weren’t on good phrases with the shopkeeper spoke out about what had occurred.

Li Fan had first obtained the information from Dr. Liu and informed Liu Wen about Cheng’s state of affairs. Now, after seeing Liu Wen’s perspective right this moment, he knew who was extra essential between Cheng Yun and the shopkeeper. He summarized everybody’s statements and informed Liu Wen.

“As Cheng Yun stated, each of them got here to the store early within the morning and didn’t trigger any hassle. As an alternative, the shopkeeper was too aggressive, first by not correctly welcoming the shoppers, then by overcharging them by charging ten occasions the value for a cup of tea. He was threatening in his phrases and everybody noticed it.”

“You, you’re mendacity!” The shopkeeper was shocked and crawled to Liu Wen, crying and pleading, “Boss, don’t take heed to his nonsense! He has at all times disliked me and needs to border me!”

Li Fan didn’t waste any extra time with him and respectfully stated, “I requested 5 – 6 prospects within the store, and A’Bing and A’Liang can testify too. There’s no risk of false accusations in opposition to the shopkeeper.”

Liu Wen kicked him away and stated severely, “I’ll offer you yet another likelihood. Will you confess or do I’ve to deliver everybody right here to confront you?”

The shopkeeper’s face turned pale, and he alternated between blushing and paling. After pondering for a second, he lastly modified his tune and saved kowtowing, “I used to be improper, boss, please forgive me. I’ll by no means do it once more.” After that, he turned to kowtow to Cheng Yun whereas slapping himself, “Younger grasp, you’re a beneficiant individual. Don’t decrease your self to my degree. I used to be ignorant and couldn’t acknowledge Mount Tai. I apologize to you.”

Cheng Yun had by no means obtained such a grand gesture earlier than, however he might deal with it. He stood there like a mountain, trying down on the shopkeeper as he acted like a clown, however he didn’t say a phrase of forgiveness.

Initially, Liu Wen needed to have a very good discuss with Cheng Yun about their future cooperation. He was a businessman, and his first precedence was revenue. Though he had sympathized with Cheng Yun yesterday and needed to ease their cooperation, it didn’t stop him from maximizing his revenue.

Nevertheless, earlier than they may start their dialogue right this moment, this annoying man challenged his authority time and time once more, and he let his subordinates idiot him. To not point out Cheng Yun, even Liu Wen couldn’t swallow this insult.

He waved his hand and requested Li Fan to take the shopkeeper away. Then he ordered somebody to deliver paper, ink, brush, and inkstone, and earlier than anybody might react, he shortly wrote a letter of dismissal.

“Our Yueqiong Tower has been in enterprise till right this moment, counting on nothing however the phrase ‘integrity’. As we speak, you cost prospects at will, go in opposition to their phrase, and even lie. I, Liu Wen, can not tolerate such a two-faced, shameless individual in my small store.”

“That is your letter of dismissal. Preserve it your self. Due to your improper fees and insults to prospects, your wage for this month will likely be halved,” Liu Wen pointed at Li Fan, “Take him to get his cash. Watch him rigorously and don’t let him take our issues. Write one other discover and submit it, so that everybody is aware of what he did. Our Yueqiong Tower by no means condones the depraved, and we can not let anybody splash mud on us.”

The matter was dealt with correctly, and Liu Wen’s phrases put the matter to relaxation. The shopkeeper’s crying and shouting was ineffective at this level. Solely now did he understand how improper he was earlier to belittle and bully others. However even when he regretted it now, it was too late. When Yueqiong Tower’s discover got here out, nobody would ever be keen to rent him once more.
