While comforting his daughter, Chen Zhonghou apologized to Zhang Tianci: "I'm sorry, President Zhang, I spoiled this child. Since the contract is inappropriate, just let it go.
It's just money...I spent five taels yesterday to buy some more expensive ingredients, thinking I could cook two more dishes and attract customers. If I need to refund the money immediately, I can collect the credit from old customers..."
Zhang Tianci finally took a breath and found a way to speak: "Boss Chen, where are you thinking? It was my eldest brother who said that your restaurant is in a good location, and although the business is temporarily weak, you can't discount your capital so cheaply.
Brother said that for these five hundred taels, we only hold 40% of the shares and you hold 60% of the shares. I don’t dare to delay, so I’ll come to you and re-sign.”
Chen Zhonghou was stunned and looked at Zhang Tianci at a loss, thinking that Zhang Tianci was making fun of him.
Liu Ruyun was also stunned. The tears in her eyes were rolling back and forth. She didn't know whether she should fall or not. She kept rubbing her hands on her floral apron and her face turned red. She probably felt a little regretful.
It's too early to get angry.
"Is this...is this okay? Otherwise, let's do it 50-50."
It took Chen Zhonghou a long time to hold back a sentence, and while speaking, he looked at his daughter's face. Liu Ruyun nodded in agreement.
Zhang Tianci's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, my eldest brother said 40%, that's 40%. You two, okay, don't let me run back and forth, okay?
Here is my contract, take out yours and tear it up together. Miss Liu, please turn on the light of the oil lamp and we can rewrite the contract."
Chen Zhonghou took out the contract from his arms, Zhang Tianci took it, tore it into pieces along with his own share, and then spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
When the two tables of old customers who were drinking heard the conversation, they felt it was new and came over to watch with glasses in their hands.
Zhang Tianci's handwriting was not very good, but he wrote quickly enough. He finished the new contract with a few clicks and said to the two old customers next to him: "As a new shareholder, I am deeply grateful to the two of you for supporting me here."
, it’s hard to find a guarantor at this late hour, how about I take the liberty of asking you two to be your guarantors?”
A customer who looked like an old scholar nodded and sighed: "I've seen a lot of old businessmen, and I've seen a lot of people arguing over the amount of money, but I've never seen Boss Zhang and Master Xiao like this.
Old Chen, with such a partner, do you still have to worry about your future business? Today, I am the guarantor!"
The three of them signed their names, pressed their thumbprints, and kept one piece each.
Chen Zhonghou was so excited that he insisted on leaving Zhang Tianci to drink. Zhang Tianci ran around without touching the ground for a day and was really hungry, so he was rude.
"Miss Liu, make two of your specialty dishes!"
Liu Ruyun agreed quickly. When she got to the kitchen, she looked at the ingredients she had just bought today, thought about it, and decided to boldly try dishes other than the five specialty dishes.
As a result, the new boss Zhang Tianci walked home with a sad face, muttering to himself.
"Brother, this girl really only knows how to cook those five specialties. Can we really earn back our investment?"
It's not like you fell in love with this girl and took these five hundred taels as a betrothal gift. If that's the case, that's fine."
When Liutai heard that Zhan Feiyun returned empty-handed, he was so angry that he slammed the table: "You just came back empty-handed? You idiot! Idiot!"
Zhan Feiyun said with a bitter face: "Sir, I can't compete with Jin Yiwei for people. The Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion have to step aside for the prisoners that Jin Yiwei wants to arrest."
Liu Tai slapped the table and shouted: "Where is his family? Jinyiwei only captured Wang Shun, where are his family members?"
Zhan Feiyun swallowed his saliva and said without confidence: "Sir, Wang Tuiguan sold his wife and daughter to others as slaves. In this way, he is no longer a member of his family, and the villain is indeed no longer a member of his family.
There is no reason to take someone away."
Liu Tai's eyes almost fell out of his head: "What? What what? Say it again?"
Zhan Feiyun's voice became much softer: "Sir, the official Wang Tuiguan sold his wife and daughter to others as slaves."
Liu Tai roared angrily: "Fart! When did he sell it? Selling it again while arresting him will not count!"
Zhan Feiyun squinted his eyes at the few detectives who went with him. He had already explained everything on the way, and no one said much. They just listened to him.
"Sir, the date on the contract is indeed yesterday. Both the buyer and seller as well as the guarantor have it. It is difficult to deny it."
Liu Tai angrily laughed back: "How can such a clumsy trick be hidden from me, the Ministry of Justice? Wang Shun is a sixth-grade official, and Shuntian Mansion is not a poor yamen, so he will be so poor that he sells his wife and daughter? What's more, the time is like this
What a coincidence, it’s clear that both parties colluded to get away with it!
Since Wang Shun was arrested by the Jin Yiwei, the buyer was arrested and tortured, and everything was punished in one sentence, then the document contract naturally does not count! You have been a head catcher for so long, you still need this officer to teach you this
you?"
Zhan Feiyun lowered his head: "Sir, I have seen the buyer, but I don't dare to catch him."
Liu Tai said angrily: "You are acting under my order. Even if it involves court officials, you should take action! I am temporarily taking over the management of the Ministry of Justice, so I will naturally support you!"
In fact, when Yu Maojian retired and returned to his hometown, Liu Tai, who was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, should have been promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Because Liu Tai had been the Zuo Shilang for ten years, he was only one step away from becoming the Minister of Justice.
Moreover, the Criminal Department is different from other departments in that it is more business-oriented and often prefers to be directly promoted from Zuo Shilang.
It's a pity that in the last Gaoliang case, Liu Tai wanted to show positive performance and be promoted as soon as possible. Zheng Huan, who was jumping up and down, was slapped by Xiao Feng and made a fool of himself in front of Jiajing. Although Yan Song said good things for him, Jiajing still
Made some moves.
First of all, he delayed approving Yu Maojian's retirement, allowing Yu Maojian to recuperate in the capital, with the title of minister. Liutai still served as his left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, taking charge of all affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. This was a warning, and also
An encouragement.
The warning is to tell Liu Tai that if you can't show a decent performance, as long as Yu Maojian is still breathing, you will not be a minister. Maybe one day a minister will be parachuted in from somewhere else.
The encouragement is to tell him that the court still trusts you and allows you to continue to manage the Ministry of Punishments. You still have a good chance of becoming a minister.
Liutai was tormented by Jiajing's imperial methods, and he also had his own countermeasures.
On the one hand, he tried not to make any more mistakes, and on the other hand, he stayed closer to Party Yan. He knew that as long as Yan Song did not fall, he would one day become a minister.
So at this time, he was not only angry at Zhan Feiyun's incompetent performance, but also confident enough in his identity and deterrent power to be able to deal with any officials who dared not cooperate with his promotion plan.
Zhan Feiyun said helplessly: "The buyer is Wang Tuiguan's next-door neighbor, Xiao Feng, who is from Zhongshushe."
Hiss... Liu Tai took a deep breath as if he had a toothache, and his previous momentum and confidence were suddenly compromised.
Xiao Feng, this bastard, almost made him fall into a pit last time, and this time he became a stumbling block on his way to success! The key is that he really doesn't dare to be hard on him.
Zhan Feiyun stopped talking, and the detectives also lowered their heads and secretly glanced at Liutai from the corners of their eyes.
Liu Tai had drawn his bow too full just now, and he was a little embarrassed to hold back for a moment. But if he continued to draw harder, could he really order Zhan Feiyun to go to Xiao Feng's house to rob someone?
When he was in a dilemma, a cough came from behind the screen. The corner of Liu Tai's mouth trembled and he waved his hand: "You can go down first. I will give you new orders after I think about it."
Zhan Feiyun and the other police officers eagerly bowed out and left, running as if they were being chased and bitten by dogs.
Liu Tai turned around and returned to his private office. A man was sitting upright drinking tea. Liu Tai respectfully helped him get a refill.
"Yan Shaoqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Yan Shifan said with a deadpan smile: "Forget it, I quite appreciate Xiao Feng's interest in other people's wives and daughters.
Anyway, the target this time is not them, so there is no need to create extra complications."
