Chapter Eighty-Five: Governing the Rice Shop
After a long time, Xiaoqing came to the courtyard with five people.
The leader of these five people was Shopkeeper Sun, a fifty-year-old man, skinny and skinny, with eyes like those of a mouse, cunning and alert.
Behind the shopkeeper Sun, there was a strong young man in his twenties, the muscles on his chest were bulging, but his head was lowered. The other three were also bowed heads, but not as strong as him.
When Li Yibai saw that they were all coming, he asked Qing'er to bring a chair, and he sat down in the courtyard.
'Meet the owner. May I ask what happened when the owner summoned the old man? Shopkeeper Sun arched his hand and said.
Li Yibai said lightly, "Shopkeeper Sun, you are in charge of our rice shop." ’
It's old age. Shopkeeper Sun was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly.
Li Yibai asked again, 'The rice shop has been closed for a long time, what have you been doing?' ’
'Young Master. You can't blame the old man for this. Last time, you transported all the rice, and we couldn't sell it at all if we didn't have 6o stone rice, and this 6o stone rice still accounted for the working capital. Shopkeeper Sun argued.
Li Yibai reprimanded, 'If there is no supply, you should close the door?' If you are really responsible, you should come and report to me and explain the situation. How can an irresponsible shopkeeper like you stay and work in my shop? ’
In the face of Li Yibai's reprimand, Shopkeeper Sun handled it calmly, didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't have a scared expression on his face. It's like saying, 'Are you trying to drive me away?' You want to drive me away. I don't want to stay yet. ’
Li Yibai saw the expression of the shopkeeper Sun, and said in his heart, this guy should be an old fritter, and he is not afraid of me at all. Thinking about it, it was people like him who were in charge of the Li family's business before, can the Li family's business not decay? Although it is said that the Li family is incompetent, this shopkeeper Sun must also have a lot of responsibility, and he may even fill his own pockets and embezzle a lot of money from the public school, so that his previous business will lose money every year.
Li Yibai saw the strong young man with his head down, and said in his heart, Shopkeeper Sun dared to raise his head so high, while the guy behind him lowered his head. This shopkeeper Sun must usually be high-flying, and he bullies these guys.
Li Yibai deliberately reprimanded the guys again, "Shopkeeper Sun didn't explain the situation to me. What about you? So many of you didn't come to explain the situation to me? Do you all think that you can still work without working, and the salary is very comfortable. ’
The four guys quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. 'The owner. We were wrong. Owner, we were wrong. ’
Li Yibai waved his hand, "Forget it." Arise, all of you. ’
After the guys got up, they were silent and didn't dare to say a word, they were all silent, and they didn't dare to look at Li Yibai.
Seeing this situation, Li Yibai was even more convinced, these guys were very afraid of Shopkeeper Sun, and there must be some secret, Shopkeeper Sun did not allow them to say it, and he must have threatened them before coming here.
Li Yibai pointed at the strong guy and asked, 'What's your name?' Tell me about the store. ’
The strong guy stepped forward, 'The little one is called Li Ji. The situation in the store is that the proprietor should ask the shopkeeper Sun. The little ones don't know anything. ’
As he spoke, Li Ji looked at Shopkeeper Sun again.
Li Yibai knew that Li Ji knew something, but he was afraid of Shopkeeper Sun and didn't dare to say it. Then don't ask him.
'Shopkeeper Sun, your rice shop has always been in charge of our family. My mother-in-law rarely asks about business. Over the years, our rice shop has been losing more and more openings, and the more they opened, the more they lost, and the shops on one street eventually became two. Do you think you should be responsible for the losses year after year? ’
Shopkeeper Sun said loudly, 'The owner. My grandson is a person who has done his best for the owner, and after he died, he worked hard and sighed all night. I have dedicated 30 years of my youth to the owner. ’
Shopkeeper Sun said all his good words, and shirked his responsibility, he was completely playing with Li Yibai, and he didn't take Li Yibai in his eyes at all.
Okay, you flamboyant old fritter, you dare to tease me. Li Yibai said in his heart, and then asked.
"Have you been greedy for money in Mogong all these years?" Otherwise, you can explain to me, why did the rice store lose so much money? ’
Shopkeeper Sun had already taken precautions, took out an account book from his body, and said in a hearty manner, "Dongjia, please don't slander me. Lao Yu has been working for the owner all these years, and he has not been greedy for money. This is the account book of all these years, and all the income and expenditure of the silver are on it. You can look it up. ’
Seeing him come so prepared, isn't there no silver three hundred here? What a smart person Li Yibai is. This made it even more certain that he was greedy for a lot of money.
Okay, you grandson shopkeeper, you are greedy for so much money from my family, and you still tease me, you really treat me as an idiot. If I don't punish you this time, it will not be an insult to my intelligence. Li Yibai said in a white heart.
But Li Yibai has no evidence now, so he can only calmly take the account book first.
'Hmm. Shopkeeper Sun, go back. I'll take a closer look at this. ’
Shopkeeper Sun took a few people and turned around to go back.
'Li Ji, you stay. Li Yibai shouted.
Li Ji stood nervously.
'Li Ji, don't be nervous. I'm just chatting with you casually. Li Yibai comforted.
Li Yibai knew that the account book of the shopkeeper Sun didn't need to be read at all, and it must be all fake accounts that he had done. It is difficult to find evidence of Sun's shopkeeper's corruption, because he has been doing all these years' accounts.
However, Li Yibai is such a smart person. Can Shopkeeper Sun beat him these two times?
Li Yibai decided to count his hands from the gang, and used the revelation to find the evidence of the corruption of the shopkeeper Sun, and then brought the shopkeeper Sun to justice.
'Li Ji. How many years have you been working in a rice shop? Li Yibai asked lightly.
Li Ji lowered his head and said, "Go back to the east." It's been 1o years. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "In the past 1o years, our store has been losing more and more. Until now, it was still in a state of loss, and it wasn't because I got the silver bars, so I guess it shouldn't be able to work. But I checked the ledger, and the shopkeeper Sun said that he was not corrupt. So tell me, why does this business keep losing money? ’
Li Ji whispered, "Small, it's not good to say. Don't dare to say. ’
Li Yibai said, "You raise your head. You say, is the shopkeeper Sun greedy for money? ’
Li Ji hurriedly said, "No." Shopkeeper Sun is not greedy for money. ’
Li Yibai said, 'What's the reason for that?' ’
Li Jidao, 'If the world is not good, business will not be good. ’
Li Yibai said angrily, "Bold, you don't even tell the truth. ’
Li Ji was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down again, "Dongjia." Small mistakes. The small one is wrong. ’
Li Yibai knew that Li Ji might have been coerced by Shopkeeper Sun, or Shopkeeper Sun had given him the money he was greedy for. Damn, Shopkeeper Sun is even more powerful than me, this is simply an insult to me. I'm going to have to fix him well.
Li Yibai smiled faintly, changed his attitude, and no longer pressed Li Ji.
Instead, he smiled and asked, 'Oh, Li Ji.' Have you married a daughter-in-law? ’
Li Ji whispered, 'I'm married, and I have a three-year-old son.' ’
Li Yibai sighed, "It's a pity." Your son will never see you again. ’
Li Ji was horrified, "Boss, why is this?" ’
Li Yibai shook the account book in his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Sun said that he was not greedy for money from Mo Gongzhong, and he had accounts as proof. He wasn't greedy for money, so you must be greedy. I'm going to send you to the government for punishment. Takeshi has been begging me to keep his position lately. He's going to torture you, and you're going to go to jail. It's a pity. You have a happy life, but unfortunately, you are going to suffer. ’
Li Ji hurriedly knelt down and cried, 'The owner. The owner. Don't. I'm not greedy for your money. ’
As he spoke, Li Ji took out 1ooo money from his body and put it on the ground. 'This 1ooo money was forced to me by the shopkeeper Sun. Originally, I didn't want to. But he said, "If I don't want it, he won't pay me." These days, the monthly salary that is closed is gone. But I count on the money to support my family. I had to promise him. He also coerced us into not allowing us to talk nonsense when we saw you. And said, we are also greedy for money, and we must fight you with ironclad. ’
Li Yibai laughed, "You get up." I blame you for not guilty. Keep the money. I'll reward you. But you have to uncover the treasurer for me. ’
Li Ji continued, 'Over the years, Shopkeeper Sun has been greedy for a lot of money, and he used the greedy money to buy a house in the western suburbs, and he relied on his power to often beat and scold us, and deduct our wages. ’
Li Yibai said, 'Okay. You write a whistleblower letter. Make a list of the evidence you can remember. Tomorrow, I will lead someone to arrest Shopkeeper Sun. ’
Li Ji was still a little scared. But. What if the shopkeeper Sun runs away, and he still knows **. ’
Li Yibai smiled, 'He knows **? Hahahaha. I'll protect your safety. You can rest assured. That's right. After the shopkeeper Sun is punished, you will come to be the shopkeeper of the rice shop. I don't expect you to make much money, as long as you can make sure that these guys live on it. ’
Li Ji said in his heart, the owner is really kind-hearted, he quickly knelt down, "Thank you, the owner." I will do my best to do things for the owner. ’
Li Yibai knows that the profit of the rice shop is limited, as long as it can provide jobs for these guys. And this is the industry left by his father, he should do a big job, this is the ancestral industry of the town.
(I'm out for business today.) There is only one chapter. I'm sorry. )
