Chapter 77: Mr. Qian is stingy
From what the guard named Song He said, he clearly had a disdain for Mr. Qian. If I heard correctly, there was even disgust in his tone.
I thanked him. After all, he sent me back on my way back but stopped at a place within easy reach of the inn. On the one hand, he ensured my safety, but on the other hand, he was afraid that my reputation would be damaged. This fully demonstrated his gentlemanly attitude.
When we entered the inn, the shopkeeper had already taken a rest, and only the waiter, who was slightly sleepy, was waiting in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the guests who had not yet returned.
"Little second brother."
I grabbed a handful of coins and said, "Do you have time? Tell me about Mr. Qian. I see that the people in the city don't have many good things to say about him."
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he thanked me for the money. Then he picked up the teapot, poured me a cup of tea, and then said:
"Girl, you are from out of town, so you don't know something. This Master Qian is the number one tyrant in our Yonghe City!"
"He was originally just a gangster in the city. He suddenly became rich more than ten years ago. Then he bought a house and slaves in the city to start a business, and gradually he started to make a fortune."
"Normally, our Yonghe City is so prosperous, and there are many merchants coming and going. The ability to make money from doing business is a matter of course, so no one will have any objections at all."
But who told Mr. Qian not to be a good person?
"In daily business, I would often pass off inferior products as good ones to deceive the traveling businessmen who come and go."
"Furthermore, he is so rich, but he is particularly stingy - who of the people who deliver vegetables and firewood to his house every day has not been owed money by him for a month or two?"
As for this arrears, as soon as it starts, unless Mr. Qian suddenly changes his mind and settles it in one fell swoop, it will continue to be delayed.
When the waiter talked about this, he had nothing good to say:
"Master Qian is stingy not only with outsiders, but also with the employees he recruits in his shop, all of them have to find ways to deduct some copper coins."
"If it weren't for the difficulty of living, who among us would be willing to be so angry? So, girl, you must have seen the excitement of these two nights!"
Everyone is not just here to eat, they just want to take advantage of Master Qian and take care of the good calculations that they have never gotten from him.
The waiter was an honest man. He laughed again when he said this, got up and asked in a low voice:
"I dare to ask, girl, did you go to see the fun tonight? How much money does the biggest one in your wallet have?"
I laughed: "The smallest one only has one copper plate. I heard tonight that there are more than a dozen people with the same amount. Each one only has one tael of silver, which is about the highest."
These are what Xiaolian told me. She walks around the place and can see and hear things, so it is naturally much more convenient than me.
The waiter also laughed:
"Sure enough, it is getting lower and lower - just look at it, the total amount of his wallet tomorrow will probably not exceed one tael of silver!"
He said it very firmly.
I frowned: "Since everyone knows that Mr. Qian is so generous this time, treating guests and paying for his illness, he must have another agenda, why do you still have to go?"
The waiter curled his lips and said: "Our Mr. Qian wants money rather than his life. Although he is ill now and is so bold all of a sudden - girl, just watch it!
He said what was in his heart, "Although you guys go to the banquet to grab your wallet, it's not just to take advantage of this. You really want to see Master Qian feel distressed but have no choice!"
"puff!"
Even though I had made many guesses about this rich and ruthless rich man, I was really shocked by the waiter's frankness.
