Chapter 116 The defeated general
Ma Ming gritted his teeth. If Widow Tong's two sons hadn't come to his door, he wouldn't have known that his Sushi Garden had been stolen by Manager Feng and Feng Chuan.
It seems that he trusted Manager Feng too much and let him ignore him as the boss.
Then Ma Ming began to look through the account book, and the more he looked, the more he frowned.
"Where is the latest five hundred taels of silver?" Ma Ming asked directly.
Shopkeeper Feng did not dare to hide it and said, "It was stolen by that rebellious son Feng Chuan. Boss, I really did not collude with Feng Chuan to steal the land deed and the silver. Think about it, you trust me so much, the management of Sushi Garden is entirely up to me, and you treat me well in terms of money. What good will it be for me if I sell Sushi Garden?"
Ma Ming was unmoved and said, "You regard your adopted son as your life. You would do anything for Feng Chuan. Don't forget, you stole money from the Meng family for Feng Chuan before."
When Shopkeeper Feng's scar was revealed, his face turned red.
In Ma Ming's mind, Shopkeeper Feng's credit value has become negative. No matter how Shopkeeper Feng begged, Ma Ming thought he was quibbling.
Even if Manager Feng was unaware that the shop was mortgaged to Tong Huaqiong, he couldn't stay.
After all, Feng Chuan is his adopted son. If he hadn't indulged him, would Feng Chuan dare to do this?
Since Sushi Garden has always been controlled by Manager Feng, Ma Ming never looked at the account books over the years. As long as he could make money, he turned a blind eye to Manager Feng's corruption.
But everything was easy when there was trust in the past. Now that the trust is gone, Ma Ming is no longer polite to Shopkeeper Feng.
He threw the account book down and said, "Manager Feng, I trusted you so much. I found problems in this account book. You know how much profit you have embezzled."
Shopkeeper Feng was startled.
"If the shop is mortgaged, I will take it back myself. I will not pursue the five hundred taels of silver or the embezzlement over the years. You should resign on your own initiative." Ma Ming said.
Shopkeeper Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide and pleaded, "Boss, please give me another chance, I promise to take the shop back. Not only that, I will also drive Taohua Dessert out of Yanguan Town."
When Peach Blossom Dessert was mentioned, Ma Ming got angry and said, "You promise? What can you promise? You couldn't manage Peach Blossom Dessert when it was just a small stall. If you can manage it, then Widow Tong will be able to open the store happily, and I can also set up a trap as you said to mortgage my shop to her?"
Shopkeeper Feng was deflated.
He indeed underestimated his enemy, thinking that he could just scare the ignorant country widow from Qinghe Bay.
He didn't expect that the widow was so cruel and cut off his retreat with one move.
Shopkeeper Feng wanted to take another chance and said, "Boss, you can't fire me."
Ma Ming snorted contemptuously: "Why not? I am the boss and you are just a shopkeeper."
Ma Ming's contemptuous attitude irritated Shopkeeper Feng, who said in a trance, "Without me, would Sushiyuan have been able to dominate Yanguan Town for so many years? Over the years, I have put so much effort into Sushiyuan, and I have earned so much money for Sushiyuan. Which shopkeeper can have only one pastry shop in a town? Not only in Yanguan Town, the shopkeepers and accountants I trained have also set up branches of Sushiyuan in other places."
Ma Ming waved his hand and said sarcastically, "Then you are still just a shopkeeper. If I didn't give you a chance, could you be the shopkeeper of Sushi Garden? Don't forget, when you were driven out by the Meng family like a stray dog, who took you in? If I didn't take you in, you would have gone back to the countryside to farm. Don't you have ability? Try to walk out of the gate of my Sushi Garden, who will use you? Don't mistake the platform for your ability."
After Ma Ming finished speaking, he called the shop assistants and drove Manager Feng out.
He threw away even his abacus.
Shopkeeper Feng was pushed all the way to the street before he finally woke up.
He was fired just like that?
All his hard work was destroyed.
The big words "Sushiyuan" tattooed on him made him dizzy.
Where is the road ahead?
If he goes to other shops, no one will want him.
He believed that in order to block his escape, Ma Ming would soon spread the news that he had mortgaged the Sushi Garden to embezzle money. Which shop would dare to hire him?
His reputation had already collapsed in Pingchuan County, and now it was about to collapse in Yanguan Town. He could only leave for a place where no one knew him.
Shopkeeper Feng, who was full of vigor and vitality ten days ago, now realized that he was nothing after leaving Sushi Garden.
He hated Feng Chuan, and he hated Tong Huaqiong even more.
All the variables are due to Peach Blossom Dessert. If Tong Huaqiong hadn't opened a pastry stall, he would not have fallen into such a desperate situation.
Shopkeeper Feng was walking on the street in a daze, and unknowingly came to Yanzhi Lane.
The Peach Blossom Dessert brand becomes more dazzling in the sun.
Shopkeeper Feng wanted to smash the Taohua Dessert sign.
At this time, Tong Huaqiong happened to come out, and when she saw the distraught look on the face of Shopkeeper Feng, she knew what was going on.
He was fired from Sushiyuan.
"It's you. You control everything. It's you and your son who did it?" Shopkeeper Feng pointed at Tong Huaqiong with an angry look on his face.
Tong Huaqiong smiled brightly and said, "How can you blame me for this? If you want to blame someone, blame your nephew, that gambler, and yourself. If you didn't want to give me a way out, would I have resorted to such a desperate measure?"
This is an admission that she planned everything.
Tong Huaqiong had no intention of hiding it from Shopkeeper Feng at all. She wanted to let Shopkeeper Feng see that she could also do something shady, and even more shady than Shopkeeper Feng.
If not, Shopkeeper Feng would be able to face her squarely, be wary of her, be terrified of her, and thus not dare to act rashly.
"Boss Feng, we are all doing business. Yanguan Town is so big that it can accommodate Sushi Garden and Taohua Dessert. There is nothing wrong with wanting to dominate Yanguan Town. Your mistake is that you dare not compete with me openly and only use despicable methods. I, Tong Huaqiong, believe in revenge. If you want to drive me out of Yanguan Town, I will not be polite. I must drive you away."
"But you are not wronged. You are a real failure as a shopkeeper. You dare not compete with me openly, and you can't beat me by playing dirty tricks. Then you have no choice but to leave Yanguan Town."
Tong Huaqiong still had a smile on her face, her snow-white teeth sparkling in the sun.
In the eyes of Shopkeeper Feng, he looked like a blood-sucking beast, which frightened him.
I really don't want to be defeated by a country widow like this.
Taohua Dessert is opening tomorrow, and it’s still unclear who will win.
"stop!"
Tong Huaqiong seemed to see through Shopkeeper Feng's thoughts and called out to him when he turned around.
Shopkeeper Feng did not look back.
"Taohua Dessert will open tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, Feng Chuan will not only lose his hands, but also his roots." Tong Huaqiong snapped her fingers.
Shopkeeper Feng stopped and turned back, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Is Feng Chuan in your hands?"
Tong Huaqiong made the right bet!
Even though Feng Chuan stole the deed to Sushi Garden and even though Feng Chuan was an ungrateful person, Manager Feng still cared about him very much.
"If everything goes well at Peach Blossom Dessert tomorrow, Feng Chuan will naturally reunite with you."
"Manager Feng, you are old now, and it's time for you to leave Yanguan Town."
After Tong Huaqiong finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the Taohua Dessert Shop without looking at Shopkeeper Feng again.
She has a defeated opponent, and one who is not even worthy of respect. What is there to waste any more words on?
