The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme-Chapter 525 - 512: Fool
Chapter 525: Chapter 512: Fool
“You… how dare you!” At hearing this, Feng Yongfu quickly got up from the ground, “In broad daylight, you dare to assault someone?”
“You’re causing trouble in broad daylight, aren’t you? If we don’t control people like you, who will protect our government office from being bullied?”
Shi Bao shouted, “Hurry up, don’t waste time. Finish beating him quickly and get him out.”
Hearing Shi Bao say this, the other two officers, especially the one who was very angry just now, regained their spirits and dragged Feng Yongfu towards the backyard of the government office.
Feng Yongfu tried to scream, but someone covered his mouth. Unable to make a sound, he could only struggle fiercely.
Dragging him towards the backyard of the government office attracted a lot of attention from bystanders.
Everyone in this county knew about their government office, they all spat disdainfully.
“I guess they’ve caught another petty thief. Well deserved. These people should have their hands broken so they will never dare to think about doing such things again.”
“Indeed, he’s not even young anymore, but still acts so indecently. Keep him detained for more days, give him more beatings, let’s see if he dares again.”
The spectators were pointing at Feng Yongfu and whispering.
Upon hearing such words, Feng Yongfu was first taken aback, then started struggling even more fiercely, but to no avail. All he felt was a gnawing anger.
You fools, you know nothing, on what basis do you think of others like this!
The veins on Feng Yongfu’s forehead bulged out.
Having dealt with Feng Yongfu, Shi Bao felt a great sense of satisfaction.
People like him, regardless of how you treat them, will never appreciate your kindness. So why bother maintaining a good reputation in front of him? It’s better to be bad and hated. This is also for everyone, including Zhuang Qingning.
Shang Chengen, standing nearby, with a look of interest, scratched his nose.
Compared with the rude and arrogant officials of many other counties, the ones here are very polite and seem very capable in handling matters, which shows that the county magistrate is quite good and knows how to rule over his subordinates.
“Manager Shang.” Shi Bao greeted Shang Chengen, “Are you the shop manager of the world’s number one noodle shop?”
“Indeed, I am.” Shang Chengen nodded.
“The noodles in your shop are indeed delicious. Brother Shen Quan, Manager Zhuang, and I found it very tasty. After returning, we reminisced it and planned to return to your shop to have another bowl if we got time.”
Shi Bao chuckled, “I wonder what brings Manager Shang to see me?”
If he remembered correctly, Brother Shen Quan had paid for their noodles that day.
“Actually, that day one of my waiters overheard you, Brother Shen Quan, and Manager Zhuang discussing about these dried noodles. He mentioned that the dried noodles made by Manager Zhuang are very good. As I am also in the noodle business, I was wondering about Manager Zhuang’s way of making dried noodles.”
Shang Chengen answered earnestly, “But that day the waiter didn’t know where Manager Zhuang came from, and only knew that the two of you worked at the government office. So I came to the County Government Office to ask for information about Manager Zhuang and discuss the possibility of establishing a dried noodle workshop.”
When Feng Yongfu caused all the commotion just now, although Shang Chengen didn’t quite understand what happened, he did hear about the workshop and it seemed that only Manager Zhuang was planning on opening one. This might be an opportunity for him.
“So you’re looking for Manager Zhuang.” Shi Bao was immediately relieved, “That’s easy to explain. Manager Zhuang is from Enji Village near Sunguang Town. He runs Zhuang’s Tofu Shop in Sunguang Town. In Enji Village, he has a tofu workshop, a tofu skin workshop and a century egg workshop. Enji Village is now quite famous, and you’ll find out once you ask.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Chengen was immediately excited.
Since he has opened so many workshops, and all seem related to food, Manager Zhuang must be very knowledgeable about food and cooking.
It seems that this trip was not in vain!
“Thank you for your information.” Shang Chengen thanked him, “I’ll go find Manager Zhuang now.”
“Safe journey, Manager Shang.” Seeing that Shang Chengen seemed to be very interested in this dried noodle workshop, Shi Bao felt a little relieved.
Actually, if Manager Zhuang could find a good partner to establish this dried noodle workshop, it would be a great thing.
Shi Bao put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the government office.
He wanted to see how well Feng Yongfu had been beaten.
Meanwhile, Shang Chengen went to the tea stand, picked up some items from Kugua’s hand, and said, “Let’s go.”
Kugua hadn’t even finished his tea. He hurriedly put down the teacup, paid the old man at the tea stand, and quickly followed Shang Chengen, “Manager, where are we going?”
“To Enji Village, to find Manager Zhuang.” Shang Chengen smiled, “Discussing a big business deal.”
A big business deal?
Kugua blinked his eyes.
They rode a carriage and easily found Enji Village after asking around. The two quickly arrived at Zhuang Qingning’s front door.
Kugua put down the horsewhip, jumped off the carriage, and held the curtain for Shang Chengen, “Manager, we’re here.”
As Shang Chengen got off the carriage, Kugua said, “I’ll knock on the door.”
“No need, I’ll do it.” Shang Chengen walked up and cleared his throat, about to knock on the door.
But just as he was raising his hand, the door suddenly opened, and Shang Chengen, caught off guard, stepped back.
Zhuang Qingning, who was about to go out to pick some winter spinach, was also startled by the unexpected visitors, “Who are you looking for?”
Seeing Kugua, she was even more surprised, “Aren’t you the waiter from that world’s number one noodle shop?”
“Indeed.” Shang Chengen coughed lightly to cover his earlier embarrassment, “I am the manager of the world’s number one noodle shop, my last name is Shang.”
“So you’re Manager Shang.” Zhuang Qingning bowed a courtesy and invited them into the yard, poured them some hot tea, “What brings Manager Shang here?”
Shang Chengen didn’t beat around the bush, he directly voiced his intention to learn Zhuang Qingning’s method of making dried noodles, and even proposed to partner with Zhuang Qingning to establish a dried noodle workshop.
Zhuang Qingning stroked her chin.
Is this a case of not planting willows, but willows grow into a shade?
She had initially went to Feng’s village full of high spirits, but returned in disappointment. Unexpectedly, on her way back, she had a bowl of noodles and found a potential business partner?
But before considering this potential partner, she had to assess him first.
Zhuang Qingning smiled, “I understand what Manager Shang is suggesting.”
