Chapter 680 One step later
At this time, Manager Chen and Xiaoqin's faces were all white. It's over! This play is not over! They didn't expect Zhao Yue to let Manager Chen go. Instead, they sent another waiter. There was no wine in Xiaoqin's locker at all. When the waiter came back, what Xiaoqin said was helped!
Not long after, the waiter came back and said, "Boss, there is no wine in Xiaoqin's cabinet at all!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I looked through it several times, and the cabinet was a little big. How could a bottle be hidden so that people can't find it?"
The boss's face changed and he asked, "Xiaoqin, what else do you have to say? What about real wine? That's a wine with a price of 12,000 euros. You can't afford it even if you work for the last year! It seems that the police are going to investigate this matter!"
"Ah!" Xiaoqin fell at the boss's feet with a pale face and cried, "Don't call the police, boss, it's not my fault. I didn't change the fake wine at all. It was Manager Chen who asked me to drink fake wine!" He also entered the fake wine, and he said that he was responsible for it before! Just now, he found me and said that he would give me 20,000 yuan, let me carry it alone, and promised to introduce me to a good job."
Except for Zhao Yue, everyone else was stunned. Unexpectedly, there were so many stories in it. The boss's face turned pale and asked coldly, "Manager Chen, what else do you have to say? You sold fake wine in my restaurant and ruined my reputation in the restaurant. I was really blind at the beginning. Why did I hire you as a manager? For the sake of your hard work for nearly two years, I won't call the police. From now on, you will be fired! And you, Xiaoqin, if he asks you to drink fake wine, you can drink fake wine? Do you still have a little conscience? Won't you tell me? What if something happens after drinking fake wine?
Xiaoqin cried and said, "Do I dare not let him drink fake wine?" If you don't listen to him, he can immediately find an excuse to fire me. We waiters below are the scapegoat! Whoo-."
The boss thought for a moment and said, "You can't continue to work here. Go to the finance department to get two months' salary!"
Xiaoqin cried. Manager Chen seemed to have been drained of his whole body, and the two went out one after another. The boss turned around and said, "I'm really sorry for you. I'll ask someone to remove this table and give you another table!"
Seeing that the boss was kind and had done this, Zhou Shichang said, "Mr. Zhao, I don't think it's necessary, right? It takes a lot of time to wait for another table. The taste of this dish is not bad, and it's still hot. Is that all?"
When Zhao Yue saw Zhou Shichang say so, he nodded and said, "Since Mr. Zhou said so, I won't investigate anymore. Boss, you must hire someone with professional ethics in the future. Manager Chen just now is completely against his conscience!"
The boss nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Sir, you are right. My restaurant has been open for almost 20 years. In the middle, the scale has been expanded, the decoration has been done several times, and the reputation has been made. But what happened to my mind? It seems that there is something wrong with management! I'm so sorry! I punished myself for three more cups." After saying that, I directly poured three glasses of wine and dried them one after another.
This time, the boss really couldn't stand it. Six cups before and after, almost one catty and two taels. After the last glass of wine, his face turned white and his body began to shake.
Zhao Yue hurriedly said, "Boss, eat some food quickly!"
The boss held the table and said, "No, no! As I said just now, I'll pay for all your expenses. Feel free to ask the waiter what you want to eat. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you!"
Zhou Shichang said, "Boss, wait a minute!" After saying that, he turned his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you still in the capital tomorrow? If you are still here, my wife and I would like to treat you to a meal tomorrow, and we are still here! I think the boss is a good person. There are not many people doing business like him!"
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Since Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are so courteous, I am disrespectful!"
The owner of the restaurant was overjoyed and thought that he didn't drink a catty or two for nothing! He hurriedly said, "Then I'll come and treat you in person tomorrow!" With that, he took out a few business cards from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Shichang, Dong Jingxian and Zhao Yue respectively: "This is my business card. I will give you a 20% discount in the future!"
After receiving the business card, Zhao Yue looked at it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Guo!"
After the boss left, Zhao Yue picked up his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Dong, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, come and eat!"
Fearing that they didn't have enough wine here, the boss asked the waiter to bring a bottle of good wine. After listening to Zhou Yunyao's words, Zhao Ding repeatedly toasted Dong Jingxian and Zhou Shichang! Dong Jing's ancestors couldn't stand it when he was old. After drinking two cups, he stopped drinking. Zhao Ding had to respect Zhou Shichang alone.
A meal was served until more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Although it was interrupted by fake wine, the two families were still happy to eat. In particular, Zhou Shichang and his wife were more satisfied with Zhao Ding. Although the young man was of mixed blood, he was tall and strong, and he was also a talented person. He spoke and did things politely, and knew how to be measured. Although he is a rich second generation, there is no arrogant and domineering of a rich second generation.
After the banquet, Zhou Shichang and his wife got up and said goodbye. Zhao Yue asked Zhao Ding to drive Zhou Shichang and his wife back, but Zhou Shichang and his wife drove here, but they couldn't drive after drinking. Dong Shuying didn't drink. She drove Zhou Shichang back to work. Before leaving, she made an appointment for Zhao Yue to come here at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
After sending Zhou Shichang and his wife away, Zhao Yue said to Dong Jingxian, "Mr. Dong, let's go to Fanjiayuan now?"
Dong Jingxian nodded: "Okay, it's getting late now, and I don't know if the hawker is still there?"
Zhao Ding said, "Dad, we're going too! You don't know the hawker. We know each other."
"It's good!"
Dong Jing first drank wine and couldn't drive, so he left his car at the door of the restaurant and took Zhao Yue's car to go together. Zhou Yunyao was driving. Zhao Yue and Dong Jingxian sat in the back chatting, and Zhao Ding sat in the co-pilot's seat.
When the car drove to Fanjiayuan, it was already past three o'clock. I found a place to park the car, and several people got off the car and entered Fanjiayuan.
Zhao Ding and Zhou Yunyao took Zhao Yue and Dong Jingxian to find the place of the vendor's stall in the morning, but found that the vendor was no longer there. Now it is another person who set up the stall here!
Zhao Ding came forward and asked, "Brother, where is the vendor in a cotton coat who set up a stall here in the morning?"
The man shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. I came at eleven o'clock, and it was empty when I came!"
After thanking the hawker, several people began to ask people around separately. They asked for more than an hour, but there was no news at all. At five o'clock, the people who set up the stall left one after another. Zhao Yue walked into an antique shop and asked the boss, and told the peddler's appearance and clothes.
The boss is a tall and thin man, wearing a pair of gold glasses and a decent suit. After listening to what Zhao Yue said, he frowned and asked, "Sir, what are you looking for that man for?"
Looking at the boss's appearance, Zhao Yue knew that the boss must know the hawker, so he said, "Well, in the morning, my son bought an object from him. This object happened to be my ancestral thing. He gave it to an old friend for many years. Now this thing has been placed on the stall, so I'm in a hurry. I want to know the current situation of the old man, so I asked the vendor to find out where he collected it."
"So that's it! That person's nickname is Liu San. I don't know his real name. His house is not far from here, just at No. 318 East Street Alley.
After thanking him, Zhao Yue came out and met with the other three people. They didn't ask for any information, so they smiled and said, "I've already heard about it!" Let's go now!"
At this time, in another store, after Zhao Ding and Zhou Yunyao came out, the fat store owner asked the clerk to watch. He went inside and closed the door, took out the phone and dialed a number. After the phone was connected, a man's voice came from the phone: "What are you looking for me? I don't have any good goods here now!"
The fat boss asked coldly, "Liu San, what have you done these days? Why are there two groups of people looking for you on the street from noon to afternoon today?
"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? Liu San on the other side of the phone was obviously very surprised.
"The reasons said by the two groups of people are strange. Let me ask you, what did you sell this morning?"
Liu San said, "Just one is sold. It's a clay sculpture sheep carving!" This thing was made by my grandfather. After it was made, I kept it at home. It was very rough and not valuable. I took it to the street this morning.
The fat boss asked again, "How much did you sell?" Are you sure it was your grandpa who did it?
Liu San said, "Can there be a fake? It's been almost a hundred years. When I was a child, I asked my old man. The old man said that it was made by my grandfather. He kept it for 4,000 yuan just to have a thought.
"That's strange! Then why are they looking for you? I think you'd better go out to avoid the limelight during this period. I don't think these two groups of people are good!"
Liu San said, "Okay! I'll clean it up now!"
After Liu San hung up the phone, he heard someone knocking outside the yard door. He walked out of the house and shouted, "Who is it?"
The person who knocked on the door did not say anything, but just knocked on the door vigorously. Liu San opened the door and was about to scold, but the opposite suddenly rushed to the two people. One blocked his mouth and the other tied his hands. The two worked together to get Liu San into the van parked at the door.
At this time, it was already dark, and there were no pedestrians at the door. Liu San was kidnapped and there was no noise at all, but Zhao Yue and Zhao Ding, who came from not far away, could see clearly. Zhou Yunyao and Dong Jing were ordinary people first, and their eyes were not so good, but they did not know that they were tied up at all. It was Liu San. Knowing that someone had been kidnapped, Zhao Yue made a spiritual mark on Liu San and asked Zhao Ding to call the police!
When they found No. 318 East Street Lane, they knew that the person who was kidnapped was Liu San, but it was too late at this time, and the kidnapper had already fled in a van.
Not long after, two policemen came and asked in detail about the kidnapper's appearance, age, elevation, size, etc., as well as what car the kidnappers drove and what the license plate number was! Of course, Zhao Yue will not say that he has seen the appearance of the kidnapper. He can see that he is not an ordinary person so far away in the night. He only said that he saw someone tied up to a van!
