Chapter Thirty-Nine: Do You Want to Kill Them All?
Since Bai Li and Song Qi walked a few hundred meters along the underground passage, and finally came out of a manhole cover close to the side of the garbage can. Song Qi saw that Ma Lie didn't come over, so he judged that Ma Lie had an accident.
However, Song Qi is a shrewd and sophisticated person. He knew that it would be a fool's idea for him to go back to Ma Lie if he took the liberty of going back, so he separated from Bai Li and went to Jiang Ye for help in order to hope to rescue Ma Lie.
Du Han and the brothers who were in charge of watching the scene, and the relevant staff of the teahouse were not as lucky as Ma Lie, most of them were arrested by the police.
Fortunately, Hang Xuezhen's brother-in-law personally intervened, and most of the personnel were fined between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan, and several key personnel were detained for 15 days.
After knowing this situation, as the owner of the teahouse casino, Ma Lie's guilt towards them was finally relieved.
Of course, the reason why the police dealt with it lightly this time was naturally to see the face of Hang Xuezhen's brother-in-law.
Speaking of Hang Xuezhen, Ma Lie felt ashamed.
I have to trouble her for help every time, and I don't know how to repay her. On the day of her birthday party, there may be trouble.
Ma Lie was out, no matter how much trouble he encountered that day, he must help Hang Xuezhen get through the difficulties.
The next morning, Ma Lie was still drowsy, and suddenly received a call from Song Ning, saying that the operation of the jade shop had encountered a big trouble, and Ma Lie had to come over to deal with it in person.
Song Ning didn't know that their boss Ma Lie had an accident last night and was still lying in the hospital recuperating from his injuries, so he dared to call over, which was really a helpless move.
After Ma Lie received Song Ning's call, he didn't say a word and was discharged from the hospital immediately. The teahouse casino had just been seized, and he didn't want to lose the 'Liening Jade Shop' anymore.
Ten minutes later, Ma Lie, who was still wrapped in a white bandage on his left arm, came to the door of the 'Liening Jade Shop'.
"Boss, you're back!" Standing at the door of the store to greet him was a sweet and lovely young girl named Li Xiumei. Because of her good eloquence and lively personality, the manager Song Ning arranged for her to do a job similar to a reception.
Ma Lie rarely comes to the jade shop, but every time he comes, he gets a few crisp and soft greetings from this sweet Li Xiumei, "Hello boss".
Ma Lie listened intoxicated, watched comfortably, and was extremely impressed by her.
Seeing her at the door, he paused and asked, "Is Manager Song here?" β
"Here, she just wants me to wait for you here, boss, please hurry up and go in." Li Xiumei is wearing a black OL suit today, which is also the work clothes designated by the Liening Jade Shop. Worn on her perfect and graceful body, it is sexy and simple, and at the same time attracts the heads of countless passers-by.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Especially a normal man, when he sees a beautiful woman, he always wants to get close to each other. This is the instinct of human nature, and as her boss, Ma Lie is no exception.
After finding an excuse to chat with her and increase the affinity with the staff, Ma Lie reluctantly walked into the store.
"Xiaoli, you have to remember the price of this white jade clearly, don't let the guests ask you and forget it again."
"Uh, got it, manager!"
"And you, Xiaofang, while there are no guests coming now, you can memorize the price of these goods and its instructions."
"Yes, Manager!"
Song Qizheng and the two salesmen were carefully teaching experience, and they didn't notice Ma Lie walking in for a while.
Ma Lie didn't bother her, walked around the store, observed for a while, and was depressed to find that although the huge jade shop was open normally, there was not a single customer, and it seemed very deserted.
Of course, in the morning, there are not many customers who come to visit the jade shop. However, Ma Lie has already prepared in his heart, judging from the information that Song Ning told him in the past few days, the business of 'Liening Jade Shop' is indeed not optimistic.
However, no matter which line it is, there are not many that are an instant hit. Most of the newly opened stores still need long-term perseverance to gain results.
Opposite the 'Liening Jade Shop' is a bustling commercial street, adjacent to a five-star international hotel. The commercial status is more prominent, and Ma Lie values this point, so he decisively buys this store.
"Boss, you're here" I don't know when, Song Ning stood behind him and greeted him gently.
He turned his head and saw Song Ning dressed as a strong woman, with long hair coiled up, and a mature and charming breath coming to his face. Seeing that Ma Lie was pleasing to the eye, he smiled intoxicatingly: "You said on the phone that it was a 100,000 urgent matter, can I not come quickly?" β
Song Ning didn't laugh, because she saw Ma Lie with a strap wrapped around her left arm, and said distressedly: "Boss, what's wrong with your hand?" β
"I was bitten by a dog, it's okay!"
Ma Lie was telling the truth, but Song Ning didn't believe his words, and asked with concern: "You went to fight with someone?" β
Ma Lie waved his hand and said, "Alas, don't mention this. By the way, what did you call me to discuss early in the morning? β
Song Ning said cautiously: "Let's go into the office and talk!" β
"Okay!" The office Song Ning is talking about is actually a room of less than ten square meters behind the jade shop, isolated by plywood.
There are only three desks and a row of sofas in this office, with a coffee table opposite the sofa.
One of the mahogany desks is placed in the middle, and there are computers, printing presses, and other office supplies. Song Ning said that this office position is used by Ma Lie for his daily office.
Although he doesn't come often, the boss's essential identity and position still have to be kept.
The desk on the left is Song Ning's general manager, and a computer is also placed on it. The other position is temporarily vacant and can be arranged when a suitable financial manager arrives.
Seeing that Song Ning had managed such a medium-sized jade shop in an orderly manner in just a few days, Ma Lie felt very relieved and praised sincerely: "Manager Song, I didn't misunderstand you, you are indeed very capable, and I will rest assured that I will hand over this jade shop to you in the future." β
"Boss, you're laughing!" Song Ning sighed leisurely and said in a sullen voice: "The jade shop has been open for several days, but the business is bleak, I am really ashamed of your trust." β
Ma Lie waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's difficult at the beginning, let's get through it slowly, and if you get through it, it's a victory." β
Song Ning said sadly: "Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long." β
Ma Lie was stunned for a moment, heard her words, and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Song Ning said worriedly: "Boss, you may not know yet, just three days ago, a jade shop was opened opposite our store. The scale decoration is more magnificent and high-end than ours. It just opened yesterday, and the business is surprisingly good, compared to ours, but it's a world of difference. β
"On the other side?"
Speaking of this, Ma Lie suddenly remembered.
When he was chatting with Li Xiumei at the door of the store just now, he did see that there was only a ten-meter-wide road wide, as if a jade shop had been opened.
The signboard and decoration are indeed magnificent and beautiful, and there are four welcoming ladies wearing red cheongsams standing at the door. From a distance, the grade style is several times higher than that of his own store.
If Song Ning hadn't mentioned it, Ma Lie would have thought that there was a five-star hotel opposite.
At this time, Ma Lie knew why the jade shop he opened was snubbed. It turned out that there was a strong competitor on the opposite side who snatched almost all the customers away.
Although the business pays attention to fair competition, the jade shop opposite is too high-end and too public. The strength of the Liening Jade Shop is limited, and it is fundamentally vulnerable to face.
Ma Lie was depressed and asked, "What's the name of the jade shop opposite?" β
Song Ning said hesitantly: "Boss, I said, don't be angry." β
Ma Lie rolled his eyes and said: "Strange, what did that jade shop provoke me, my qi is not so narrow, how can I be angry?" β
Song Ning said: "Then I said it!" β
Ma Lie encouraged: "Say it quickly! β
Song Ning said positively: "It's called to knock down Ma Lie's jade line"
"What did you say?" Ma Lie was stunned unexpectedly, as if he had heard something strange, and muttered to himself: "Push down Ma Lie's jade line, fall down, my Ma Lie's Ma Lie?" β
Song Ning nodded and said, "Yes." β
Ma Lie said depressedly: "My name is Ma Lie, and the signboard of that jade shop is called Knock Down Ma Lie's Jade Shop, I'm damned, isn't this obviously aimed at me?" β
Song Ning nodded and asked worriedly, "Boss, have you offended anyone recently?" β
Ma Lie was stunned: "Eh, there are not many people I have offended, just a few!" Thinking of the tragedy of last night, when the teahouse casino was suddenly surrounded and closed by the police, Ma Lie suddenly felt a headache.
Recently, he did offend a few people. Retaliated against so quickly?
In addition to the brainless rich second-generation Meng Wei, there is also He Tu, who doesn't know what generation, and Xu Wenlu, who was slapped more than a dozen times by him and threatened to retaliate.
By the way, there's also a guy named Kong Qide. It is said that he is the eldest grandson of the Kong family, one of the six major families, and Hang Xuezhen's fiancΓ©. On the day of the Jade Trade Fair, Ma Lie made Kong Qide lose face and the wolf was defeated.
Kong Qide has a lot of hatred for Ma Lie, and the main industry of the Kong family is high-end industries such as gold, jewelry, and jade. The family is big and the business is big, and it is not difficult to open a store casually.
It can be seen that the strange jade shop opposite may have been opened by Kong Qide, in order to make Ma Lie's jade shop go out of business?
Thinking of Kong Qide's hypocritical face, coupled with the resentment of the seizure of the teahouse casino, Ma Lie suddenly became angry in his heart, and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu didn't kill your parents, robbed your wife, why is your heart so narrow-minded, and you want to take revenge on me by killing me completely?" β
Song Ning persuaded softly: "Boss, don't be angry, the more angry you are, the other party may be happy!" β
"Okay, I'm not angry!"
Ma Lie is usually a person who does not admit defeat, the more the enemy hits him, the harder he becomes, the more ambitious he becomes, and he is full of fighting spirit: "If it is really Kong Qide who makes a ghost, hum, I am not afraid of him." If he wants to pour my Ma Lie jade shop, won't I pour his Kong Qide jade shop? β
