Chapter 2 Starting today, I will be the new boss
"What's going on? Why did Orchid sell us? ”
"I don't know, that's what she said, and gave me a receipt."
"I don't believe it, Orchid wouldn't do such a thing, she said let's wait for her to come back!"
"With just a receipt, I want to swallow the flowers and sleep, dreaming!"
Thanks to that man's training, my hearing has improved tenfold. They muttered quietly behind the screen, and I could hear it clearly as I sat in the hall, and I didn't know if I was going to knock me out. Ah, I knew that at that time, I should have asked for a token or something, but now with only a piece of paper, it's no wonder that people are suspicious.
was thinking wildly, and four Peugeot girls came out from behind the screen, all with long hair and buns, and delicate figures, all of whom were rare beauties. One of the women in the bright yellow dress walked out, saluted, and said, "Hello Hua Niang, little girl Suying, you said that this is a receipt written by Hu Niangzi to you, in addition to this receipt, are there any other tokens?" ”
"Nope."
"I'm sorry, holding flowers and sleeping is an industry that we have worked hard with Hu Niangzi, and we want to buy us with just a piece of paper, I don't agree."
"That's right," the pink-clothed girl beside her also spoke, "Although Huhua Mian is not mentionable in the eyes of outsiders, it means a lot to us, we are not familiar with you, you have a receipt in your hand, but there is only one signature and handprint on it, and the credibility is too low." ”
"Well, Mrs. Hu swore to us that day that she would definitely come back. That's why we're staying here, and since she promised to come back, she won't sell it to others," the woman in the bright yellow shirt said, looking at me with a more and more solemn face, "It's still that Mrs. Hu is in danger, that's why I have this receipt." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly went wrong, and a strong murderous aura gradually emanated from a corner, and I put the teacup in my hand before they broke out, revealing a harmless smile from humans and animals, "You think I killed Hu Niangzi?" Yes, she said she would come back, but did she give you a deadline? Do you see what has become of hugging flowers now? The door is full of birds, the guests are scattered, what about you, you can only swatt flies all day long, and you have no income, so you can only sell your jewelry to make a living, right? ”
"We'll hold on, you don't have to worry."
"Persistence? Persist until the door is closed and the plaque is taken off? I really don't want to interrupt their childish thoughts, "No matter how much jewelry you have, there will always be a day when you will sell out, and now you can't make ends meet, relying on jewelry alone, how long can you last, there are so many mouths in the building, everyone has to eat, and they can't even eat, no matter how much they promise, even if you have to keep your promises, what about the others?" Can you bear them to starve? When you can't give you a penny, what will you do? ”
"We have our own way ......"
"Yes, you have a way, after all, with your appearance, there should be many people who are willing to pay a high price." I looked at them, and their eyes were full of anger, and there was a little bit of shame and uneasiness at being told the main thing.
"When Orchid took you in, I was afraid that you would fall and become other people's playthings, and now you are ready to degenerate for a promise, I really don't know whether to laugh at you for being stupid or call you stupid!" I released the last condition, "Hug Huamian is either bought by me or acquired by others today, I bought it, I will not replace the signboard, and I will not dismiss you." You don't have to do that pickling business, I will let you give full play to your strengths and make Baohuamian bigger and stronger. The receipt has been signed, and I will give you a day to think about whether to leave or stay, as you like. ”
At this point, it is pointless to say more, if they are wise, they will understand what is at stake. The receipt is in my hand, even if it is torn to the court, I will take care of it.
Instead of stubbornly holding on to a promise and not letting go, it is better to be flexible once and change the form to let Huhua Mian survive.
Walking out of the gate of Hug Huamian, I didn't know where to go for a while, I had no acquaintances here, so I had to walk around. Looking at the sun, it was past noon, and there were still no pedestrians in the 13th square, and many shops were still closed. Occasionally I hear one or two piano sounds, probably whose girl is practicing the tune.
"Look at the girl's dress, she doesn't look like a Central Plainsman."
A voice came from behind me, and I turned my head to see a girl looking at me with a smile, in her early twenties, full of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, carrying a medicine box on her back, and a doctor.
I smelled a familiar aroma, the same smell as the woman in the bright yellow shirt before. I knew a little in my heart, "I'm from the Western Regions. ”
"The Western Regions? The orchid who hugged the flowers and slept was also in the Western Regions, and the two of you were fellow villagers? ”
"Do you know Orchid?"
"The orchid dancing posture of the flower sleeping is outstanding, and it is beautiful in the world, and everyone in Suzhou City knows it. Even hugging flowers and sleeping is also famous. Saying this, she sighed, "It's a pity that since she left, the business of holding flowers has plummeted, and she will never see the glory of the past." ”
I nodded, "So, it's time for a change of hands." ”
"The change of ownership is not to hold the flowers, but to hold the flowers and sleep is the orchid, born because of her, and died because of her. Without orchids, it's nothing. ”
This made me very unhappy, and I looked at her, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”
"Bet on what?"
"It took me two months to bring it back to life."
"What's the stake?"
I looked at her, "I was entrusted by someone to buy the flower sleep, and if you win, I will tell you who that person is." ”
She looked at me for a long time before she nodded, "Okay." ”
After a night of mosquito bites in the ruined temple, I washed my face with clean water by the nearby stream, passed by the steamed bun shop, bought a steamed bun to fill the five internal organs temple, and slowly walked to the thirteen squares.
This time is different from yesterday, the door of Huhua Mian is open, and the woman in the bright yellow shirt is walking out of the door, and when she turns around, she sees me who is eating steamed buns.
"Flower lady, please."
