Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Chapter 184 There won’t be a next time

Master Cheng Er is now drinking tea at home with confidence, thinking that once the Cheng’s Dessert Shop is under his name, he will have another fortune.

The family is still imagining their future life.

"Father and mother, I will go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy the sapphire necklace I saw some time ago! I will also go to the Jade Clothes Shop and buy a dress made of light feather gauze."

Cheng Jinxiu is already enjoying a life where she can spend money as she pleases. Cheng's dessert shops are all over the capital, so naturally she makes a lot of money.

Madam Cheng nodded and said, "When the time comes, we can replace all the old furniture in our house, which will also be festive."

Master Cheng was also happy. With money, it would be easier to manage his official career, and he might even get promoted.

However, all this was just an illusion. A servant rushed in and broke everyone's beautiful dream.

"Master and Madam, Second Miss, something bad has happened. Butler Chen has been detained by the police!"

"What's going on?" Master Cheng frowned. "Why were they detained by the police? Didn't they go to Cheng's Dessert Shop?"

"Yes! Butler Chen did go to Cheng's Dessert Shop, but the owner of Cheng's Dessert Shop reported it to the police, saying that we had seized their property and disrupted their business. Then Butler Chen was detained! He was not allowed to leave unless he paid compensation." The servant told the whole story.

"Waste! They are all useless. They can't do these things well!" Master Cheng Er scolded, and then said: "Didn't he say it was his own business? It's his own business, and the government can't interfere!"

The servant nodded and said, "Butler Chen said so, but it's useless! The female shopkeeper has the documents to prove that the store is hers, but Butler Chen has no documents to prove it!"

Master Cheng Er was puzzled: "Isn't the store Cheng Wenwen's? How did it become someone else's?"

"This... I don't know either!" said the servant, lowering his head.

Master Cheng was extremely angry. After all this time, the store now belonged to someone else?

Cheng Jinxiu was even more unhappy and said, "Impossible! Cheng Wenwen must have transferred the store to someone else to protect her from us! Father, we have to go to the government and explain it clearly!"

"How do we explain it clearly? Do we have the paperwork?"

After all, Master Cheng Er has been an official for so many years. Although he has not made any achievements, he is not stupid. The name of the person written in black and white on the document is the name of the person. In the final analysis, it has to be resolved privately. They will not be in the right if they go to the government.

"But master, the store is named Cheng after all! If it's not our Cheng family's, why doesn't it have another name? It must be the fourth girl's doing!" Mrs. Cheng also agreed with Cheng Jinxiu's idea.

"Even if she did it, what can we do? We can only watch their business prosper!" Master Cheng said angrily.

"What should I do? Father, I was still counting on Cheng Wenwen to come back and take my place... Damn... this Cheng Wenwen..." Cheng Jinxiu was really dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied they are, they cannot reverse the situation.

"Call them back! We'll make plans for this matter later!" said Master Cheng Er.

The servant said, "Master, Steward Chen and his men don't have that much money! So the officials detained it! They couldn't come back, so they asked me to come back to get the money."

"What? What money? Did they smash the store or something? Do they need to pay compensation?" Master Cheng had been cheated by Cheng Wenwen before, and he didn't want to give away the money so easily.

"Tell them to pay the money themselves. They have to bear the consequences of their own actions!" said Master Cheng II mercilessly.

After hearing this, the servants felt inexplicably chilled. They were clearly following orders, but now that something had happened, the master asked them to take the blame. This master really needed a plan.

Fortunately, Butler Chen also told the servants other things.

"Master and Madam, Steward Chen really has no money! We all have parents to support and children to care for, and the monthly allowance for the family is spent, so we really have no money to make up for it. The officials said that if we don't pay the money, they will come to our house. Steward Chen is afraid of affecting our family's reputation, so he stopped the officials."

The servant finished speaking in one breath.

After hearing this, the Cheng family was really shocked.

"What? The officials are coming to ask for money?" Mr. Cheng confirmed unhappily.

Madam Cheng said, "No, no, if the officials come to our house, others will know how they will look at us and think we have done something bad. It will ruin our reputation. We can't let them come to our house."

"That's right, father. I still need to meet them! If our reputation is ruined, how can those wealthy families look down on us?" Cheng Jinxiu also advised.

Master Cheng Er naturally understood this principle, so after a moment of hesitation, he could only ask: "Forget it, forget it, how much do they want you to pay?"

As soon as the servant heard his master's offer, he immediately said, "Just an infinite amount of silver!"

"Five taels of silver? Who are they trying to cheat? It's not like they ruined their store!" Master Cheng said dissatisfiedly.

The servant said, "They said that it affected their business and reputation, and that their customers were scared away, so they wanted compensation."

"Okay, okay! Go to the accounting office and withdraw Inzaghi!" Master Cheng said angrily.

"Yes! Thank you, Master and Madam!"

When the servant heard this, he ran as fast as he could to the accounting office to withdraw the money.

But the Cheng family was very angry and stomped their feet in anger and wanted to hit someone.

"This Cheng Wenwen, does she really not intend to recognize us? She has made things so ugly." Mrs. Cheng said dissatisfiedly.

Master Cheng Er snorted coldly and said, "Since she doesn't intend to recognize us, then there is no need for us to recognize her, and she doesn't have to come to our house in the future!"

"That's it!"

The Cheng family has absolutely no intention of recognizing Cheng Wenwen.

……

Cheng's Dessert Shop.

Butler Chen was getting a little anxious waiting and was pacing around the store door, while the two officers were leisurely enjoying the food and drinks in the store. They seemed to be enjoying themselves very much and no one was rushing them.

"Why aren't you coming yet?" The weather was so hot that the people watching inside were enjoying it, but the people waiting outside were suffering, sweating profusely and feeling extremely thirsty.

Butler Chen also had to face the contempt of the officials and the people in the store. It was simply a physical and mental torture!

If the Cheng family asks him to do this kind of thing again in the future, he will never come no matter what!

"Here he comes, Fugui is here." The servants all looked at the man who was running over, and they were all really happy. After all, who wants to deal with officials? What if the officials were not happy and took them to jail?

"Fugui, did you get the money?" asked Butler Chen.

Fugui nodded and said, "Butler Chen, I got it. Here you go."

"Thank God, that's great!" Butler Chen took the money and went to the store, then found Sister Gao and said in front of the official: "Manager Gao, this is the compensation money for you, please keep it. Today is really a misunderstanding, please forgive me."

Ms. Gao took the money without hesitation, and then said unhappily, "Then don't have this kind of misunderstanding in the future."

"Of course, of course." Butler Chen said.

The two officers also taught him a lesson: "Next time, make sure you understand the situation before causing trouble! Otherwise, it won't be so easy next time."

Manager Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "X won't happen again, sir, don't worry."
