Chapter 115 The incident happened
When I heard that the boss was coming.
Shopkeeper Feng's face turned pale. He recalled the scene when he was kicked out of the Meng family shop. He remembered it very clearly. It was also the time when the wheat was turning yellow.
He was sitting behind the counter when he received a message from his brother asking him to take Feng Chuan home to harvest wheat, and then he was called over by the master of the Meng family.
Afterwards, Master Meng asked him to pack up and leave.
Will the same fate happen today as it did five years ago?
Shopkeeper Feng calmed himself down and said, "No, that won't happen."
He led Sushiyuan so well. Because of him, Sushiyuan became the only major one in Yanguan Town. How much silver did it contribute to the owner every year!
The boss trusted him so much that he handed over the shop to him and he would not come to Yanguan Town for most of the year.
It must be because Taohua Dessert is about to open, and the boss got the news and blamed him for his incompetence.
That must be it!
As soon as Feng Chuan took the land deed away, the owner realized that this was impossible.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Feng wiped his sweat, stood up, and went to the door to greet his boss.
"Boss...you are here."
As soon as Shopkeeper Feng arrived at the door, Ma Ming came up. Shopkeeper Feng concealed all his emotions and greeted Ma Ming, inviting him into the house.
"I haven't been here for a long time. Let's come and see how the shop is doing." Ma Ming said calmly.
Shopkeeper Feng felt a little relieved.
He was too nervous just now. The boss looked like he was just passing by, or he came to the shop on a whim to take a look.
Shopkeeper Feng asked the butler to serve tea to Ma Ming. Ma Ming sat on the chair holding the tea and waited for Shopkeeper Feng to give him a report.
"Generally speaking, the business is going well. As you know, boss, we're the only pastry shop in Yanguan Town for so many years. In order to protect our position, I dare not relax for a moment." Shopkeeper Feng began to play the emotional card, aiming to remind Ma Ming of his contribution to Sushiyuan.
Ma Ming nodded expressionlessly.
Of course he remembers the credit.
"Because of this, I haven't treated you unfairly over the years. I've let you manage the shop and I haven't interfered with your business operations. I've also given you large dividends every year." Ma Ming said indifferently after taking a sip of tea.
Shopkeeper Feng's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Ma Ming out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Ma Ming looked normal, he felt a little relieved.
"Boss, are you here specially or just passing by?" asked Manager Feng.
"Specially." Ma Ming asked, "How about the peach blossom dessert?"
When Shopkeeper Feng heard Ma Ming asking about Peach Blossom Dessert, he felt even more relieved.
He said that the boss must know that Taohua Dessert will open tomorrow, so he came to the shop specially to take charge.
To be honest, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his handling of Peach Blossom Desserts. The method he used on Widow Tong not only failed to intimidate her, but instead allowed her shop to open earlier.
Shopkeeper Feng believed that all this was because Widow Tong was unaware of his next move and was courting death.
"I underestimated the enemy some time ago. I didn't expect that Widow Tong was so fearless as to open a shop. But don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure. Tomorrow the opening time of Peach Blossom Dessert will also be the closing time." Shopkeeper Feng said confidently.
Ma Ming glanced at Shopkeeper Feng and said meaningfully, "That Widow Tong is capable of much more than just running a shop."
Shopkeeper Feng's heart began to beat faster again, he didn't know what Ma Ming meant by this.
Was he being accused of getting Widow Tong's recipe but not being able to replicate the same taste?
"Boss, we are the only shop in Yanguan Town these years. Frankly speaking, I did make mistakes in researching new pastry products during this period. I have asked the pastry chef to research some new tricks. After a while, I plan to send two chefs to Shengjing to learn about palace pastry."
Shopkeeper Feng told Ma Ming his plan.
The key point is to emphasize that Sushiyuan is the only pastry shop in Yanguan Town, and all this is his credit.
"How is your adopted son Feng Chuan?" Ma Ming interrupted Manager Feng and asked.
Shopkeeper Feng was so frightened that his heart suddenly stopped. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, boss. Feng Chuan has now married and has children, and his life is going well."
Ma Ming raised his head and stared at Manager Feng sharply.
He gave Shopkeeper Feng a chance since he came in, but Shopkeeper Feng refused to tell him the truth.
Ma Ming smashed the cup with a loud bang and said angrily, "You are still trying to fool me. You two are really good at stealing. I tell you, the surname of Sushiyuan is Ma, not Feng."
"I gave the shop to you to manage, which aggravated your appetite and made you think that the shop belonged to your Feng family. You and your son actually mortgaged the shop."
Ma Ming's suppressed anger finally erupted.
He trusted Manager Feng so much and gave him the greatest autonomy, but he raised a wolf.
"Boss, I always remember your support and I would never dare to take Sushiyuan for myself. I don't understand what you mean by mortgaging the shop?" Shopkeeper Feng defended himself with a pale face.
Feng Chuan actually mortgaged his shop.
Shopkeeper Feng was in a state of confusion.
If Feng Chuan just took the deed away, and he found Feng Chuan and got the deed back, then everything could still be salvaged.
He didn't expect Feng Chuan to be so bold.
His mistake was that he repeatedly indulged this gambler.
"Don't quibble. I know everything. Your adopted son owed a gambling debt of one thousand taels and couldn't pay it back, so you two teamed up to mortgage my Sushi Garden." Ma Ming sneered.
"Boss, to be honest, I just found out that Feng Chuan took the deed to our shop. Who did he mortgage it to?" Shopkeeper Feng was about to cry.
He only hoped that Feng Chuan would meet Ma Ming when he mortgaged the shop, so that there would be room for maneuver.
Ma Ming glanced at Shopkeeper Feng and became even angrier.
He knew everything, but Shopkeeper Feng in Yanguan Town didn't even know about it.
It can be seen that the success in recent years has made him so proud that he no longer recognizes himself.
Also, how did Feng Chuan get such an important thing as the title deed?
Ma Ming didn't believe that Manager Feng was not involved. Once the seed of suspicion was planted, Ma Ming determined that Manager Feng was Feng Chuan's accomplice.
Don't forget that he, the shopkeeper, had a criminal record when he was the shopkeeper of the Meng family.
If he dares to falsify the Meng family's account books to get money, he can get the deed to Sushi Garden.
"You're still playing tricks on me. You two are really interesting." Ma Ming sneered, "No wonder you can't even handle a small Peach Blossom Dessert. It turns out you already had a plan. You two actually mortgaged the Sushi Garden to Peach Blossom Dessert."
"Boss, this is impossible!" Shopkeeper Feng was shocked beyond words.
How could Feng Chuan mortgage his shop to Taohua Dessert?
Taohua Dessert has just opened, and it is said that even the shop is sold on credit. How could Widow Tong have the money to buy Sushiyuan?
Shopkeeper Feng suddenly realized what Feng Chuan meant by being set up. He used his brain to know that all this was a setup by Widow Tong.
Widow Tong is taking revenge on him!
Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that his teeth were itching.
This move is so vicious.
"I don't know if you are acting or really confused. Your adopted son owed gambling debts to Widow Tong's son and couldn't pay them back, so he tried to mortgage my Ma family's pastry garden to Widow Tong." Ma Ming said
Ma Ming was so angry that he wanted to tie Feng Chuan up and beat him.
He had no shortage of shops, and even if Sushiyuan closed down it would not affect his family's livelihood. But Manager Feng and his son actually dared to betray him and fool him, which he could not accept.
"Boss, all of this was planned by Widow Tong." Shopkeeper Feng said unwillingly.
"Set up a trap? They set up a trap and you just fell into it? Where's your brain?" Ma Ming was very disappointed.
