Chapter 149: It all depends on the support of peers
Xingchun Tower.
The woman pushed through the crowd and crept furtively to the front desk.
"The shopkeeper..."
With the light in front of him blocked, the shopkeeper, without looking up, moved aside with his abacus: "Turn left to queue for doctor's appointments, turn right to pick up medicine."
He was tapping away at the abacus with such speed that sparks were practically flying out of his hands.
His expression, however, was one of resentment.
I'll calculate, I'll calculate, I'll calculate and calculate!
This mess is just never going to end!
Seeing that he wouldn't even look at her, the woman slammed her hand on the table and roared, "Your Xingchun Pavilion is doomed!"
The sound of the abacus abruptly stopped.
The shopkeeper placed one hand on the abacus and rubbed his temples with the other.
He sighed helplessly.
He stretched out his fingers and pinched it, then said to the woman, "This month, you are the thirty-sixth person to curse us to close down."
Being an industry leader is really not easy!
The woman choked, then stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, I didn't make this up!"
"Did you know there's a free medical consultation booth on this street corner?"
What kind of stall?
What are you selling?
The shopkeeper frowned.
The woman was still indignant, saying, "That Miss Zhai is giving free medical consultations on the street, not only refusing to charge for her consultations, but also giving away medicine for free!"
"I'm afraid that in a while, they'll steal all the business from your Xingchunlou!"
The shopkeeper leaned forward, grabbed the woman by the collar, and raised his voice, "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Absolutely true!"
The woman was startled, but when she saw the shopkeeper release her in a fit of emotion, she lowered her head and gave a triumphant smile.
"Heaven has eyes!" The shopkeeper suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.
He can finally stop being so busy!
When the owner opened Xingchunlou, he instructed him that he only needed to meet the minimum revenue target.
He agreed to become the manager for his employer because he thought he could slack off.
Who knew that it would accidentally become the largest medical clinic in the capital!
It's not that he's particularly capable; it's all because his peers make him stand out!
His hands are almost injured from using the abacus!
Now we finally have a competitor, and it's the Zhai family that our boss specifically instructed us to take special care of!
How could he be unhappy?
The shopkeeper couldn't help but burst into laughter, his face wrinkled up like a flower.
The woman was taken aback.
Is this shopkeeper alright?
Why are they so happy about having their customers robbed?
She looked at the shopkeeper with surprise and doubt as he summoned a shop assistant, and said excitedly, "Quickly, go and inform the master!"
"Ask him how to deal with the Zhai family's free clinic stall!"
He was internally rubbing his hands like a fly.
The master had instructed that we should take good care of Miss Zhai. Now that she has set up a free clinic, I wonder how the master will support her.
He needs to find out whether it's money or medicine that's being delivered!
The woman was overjoyed upon hearing this!
Although the shopkeeper wasn't in good spirits, judging from his appearance, he was about to pack up the free clinic stall!
She touched the silver in her bosom, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
Hehe, all this gleaming silver will soon be hers!
The man returned with a letter shortly afterward.
The woman couldn't help but lean her head forward.
The shopkeeper frowned and stepped aside, then opened the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help but click his tongue in approval.
The employer has decided to send medicine!
That makes sense, the Zhai family isn't short of money.
He put away the letter and said to the clerk, "Quickly give the order!"
"Any prescription from the Zhai family's free clinic can be picked up for free at our Xingchunlou!"
"What did you say?!"
The woman seemed to have been struck by lightning, frozen in place.
The shop assistant immediately ran into the store and loudly announced the good news.
The number of people seeking medical treatment at Xingchunlou dwindled dramatically as they flocked to the free clinic booths.
Just kidding, they don't charge for the consultation and they even give you medicine!
The shopkeeper almost burst into tears of joy upon seeing the drastically reduced crowd.
He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand.
Finally, finally today has come...
This happiness came so suddenly!!!
Miss Zhai is entitled to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
The woman grabbed the shopkeeper's sleeve and said, "That free clinic stall is trying to steal your business!"
Why aren't you cleaning up? Instead, you're sending them medicine!
Have they all gone mad?!
The shopkeeper pulled his sleeve away from her hand with some disdain: "Why are you still here?"
"If you're not going to see a doctor, then get out of here!"
He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to shoo the person away.
He's developing work-related stress now; he gets annoyed whenever he sees people!
Especially someone who has nothing to do but still causes trouble for him!
The woman was pushed and shoved as she was led out the door.
Undeterred, she twisted her neck and shouted, "Your business practices will lead to bankruptcy sooner or later!"
"Wait until that free clinic booth grows bigger, then let's see where you can cry!"
As Zhai Rongyu approached the stall, she saw Xue Qingchuan standing behind Zhai Muling from afar.
Her eyes widened, and she quickly stopped in her tracks.
【I go! 】
[CP fans are making a comeback!]
[The Snow Valley Master is here; it would be incredibly inconsiderate of me to go there now!]
She turned around and walked to the other side of the street.
Take a walk, take a walk...
As Zhai Rongyu walked near Xingchunlou, she caught a glimpse of the woman breaking free from the waiter's grasp, standing with her hands on her hips at the door, angrily cursing her stall.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
How come I've gained another enemy in such a short time?
My ability to make enemies is getting stronger and stronger.
The woman cursed until her mouth was dry, but no one paid any attention to her. She angrily spat at the entrance of Xingchun Tower and then walked into the street.
Zhai Rong raised an eyebrow and followed.
She hid in a corner and saw the woman being grabbed and brutally beaten by a man in black.
【…】
Is it appropriate to start with such a R-rated scene?
She shielded her eyes with her hand, spread her fingers, and peered through them, frowning and making "ah, oh, ya" noises as she looked.
[Tsk tsk...]
[Unbearable to look at, unbearable to look at...]
The man in black roared, "Hand over the silver!"
The woman, her face bruised and swollen, handed him the silver from her bosom, then rummaged through her sleeve and stuffed some loose silver into his hand: "Please, sir, have mercy and spare my life..."
The man in black took the money and threw the woman to the ground, saying, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
He then wiped his hands with a hint of disgust.
"I told you to cause trouble at the free clinic and have the Snow Valley Master block you back; I told you to go to Xingchun Tower and incite them to deal with the two Zhai sisters, but you still couldn't do it!"
"What use is there for you, talented lady?!"
"Get out of here!"
The woman fled in a panic.
Zhai Rong raised her eyebrows.
It turns out that while she was away, this woman had already gone to her sister's place to cause trouble.
[However, the man in black just said, "Talented person?"]
Could it be Consort Kang?
The man in black hurriedly left.
Zhai Rongyu watched his retreating figure, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed.
This Consort Shu has already been demoted to a lowly concubine, yet they still want to make her unhappy.
She suddenly felt a surge of competitive spirit.
OK……
A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return.
She's going to the palace right now!
I want to see who has the best ability to be annoying!
Zhai Rong made a hand seal, and the talisman flashed and disappeared from the spot.
