Chapter 209 Apology
Wu Kai was a man of few words. After asking Shang Wan what he was going to do today, he took his two nephews to work.
Xiaohuan pulled Shang Wan's sleeve and whispered: "Sister, our ointment should be able to remove scars, right?"
Shang Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Have you thought of it too?"
Xiaohuan pursed his lips and nodded, like a chicken pecking at rice.
If the scar on Wu Kai's face could be cured, wouldn't it be a living sign for the drug store?
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the shop. Chu Xu suddenly jumped up from his position like a small cannonball and trotted out to take a look.
Shang Wan had already heard what happened, but she didn't stop the child from running errands if he wanted to.
After a while, Chu Xu ran back and shouted: "The people from the gambling house are here to give gifts."
"Giving a gift?" Xiao Huan had a question mark on her head. This development was beyond her expectation.
Shang Wan stood up and asked the two of them to follow him, "Go out and take a look."
There was a circle of people around the door of the shop, and their appraising eyes couldn't help but fall on the two men in the middle carrying gift boxes.
One of them was Manager Zhou who had just arrived, and the other one was unknown to Shang Wan. He was quite young, but judging by his dress, he was probably a manager.
Seeing Shang Wan come out, Manager Zhou quickly stepped forward to salute, his face no longer showing the arrogance he had before.
Shang Wan looked at him with a half-smile but said nothing.
Manager Zhou remembered his boss's instructions, and even if he was ignored, he did not dare to ask Shang Wan for Qiao, and honestly explained his purpose.
"My subordinates did not know the importance of this and disturbed the cleanliness of the shop. I sent you a special apology on behalf of the gambling shop. I also ask the shopkeeper Shang to forgive me."
Shang Wan: "I don't dare to take it seriously. What if you send people to burn down my shop again tonight..."
Before Shang Wan could finish speaking, Manager Zhou hurriedly interrupted: "This is absolutely impossible. I will definitely restrain my subordinates and not let them disturb Shopkeeper Shang's purity."
Shang Wan stood on the steps and looked down at him.
Manager Zhou had an inexplicable feeling that he was being stared at by his boss. More beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and flowed down his cheeks.
He raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, suppressing the resentment and confusion in his heart, and smiled at Shang Wan with his lips drawn, trying to please him.
Shang Wan knew in his heart that this was Zhongli's intention, so he accepted the offer and invited Manager Zhou and the two to come in for tea.
Manager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at the young man next to him carefully.
The young man had an expressionless expression on his face, as if he was just a spectator.
Manager Zhou smiled ingratiatingly, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Manager Zhong, please come in advance."
The young man was not polite and walked ahead.
Seeing this, Shang Wan secretly raised his eyebrows, and without changing the smile on his lips, he led the two of them to the backyard.
We are still hammering away at the front, so it is really not a good time to talk.
As soon as they entered the shop, the discussion outside suddenly became louder.
"Linglong Casino even came to apologize with gifts. What is the background of this shopkeeper?"
"Who knows, maybe there is a big backer behind it."
"This is the first time I've seen people in gambling houses bow their heads."
"No, this shopkeeper is very resourceful."
"When the shop opens, I will definitely come and take a look."
"I'm coming too."
"Count me in."
...In the backyard, Xiaohuan boiled water and made tea, then sat down next to Shang Wan.
Under the shade of the tree behind him, he leaned against the big black dog with his round little feet and counted the leaves on the tree, one after another, his childish voice was soft and sweet.
Chu Xu leaned next to her. When Yuan Yuan counted wrong, he corrected her. Yuan Yuan started counting again. After a long while, she didn't count more than ten.
Manager Zhou couldn't help but look over there curiously.
The black dog is the most ferocious fighting dog in their casino. He has never lost a game since the day he entered the arena. Even the owner of the dog had his hand bitten off by it. When did he ever look so docile?
What is the origin of this little doll?
Also, aren’t shopkeepers worried about black dogs biting people?
The fighting dogs in the casino are fed bloody raw meat, and eating a little milk baby is not a problem.
Manager Zhou, who was thinking like this, watched helplessly as the little baby stretched out his fleshy hand and touched the sharp canine teeth of the black dog, but the black dog didn't react at all. He opened his mouth and touched it with a look of enjoyment.
Manager Zhou: "???"
Is this really their casino's trump card?
Could it be just a dog that looks exactly the same?
"My child went to buy candy on the corner of the street. When he came back, Xiao Hei quietly followed him to the door of the house." Shang Wan did not mention the incident of the two children accidentally entering the gambling house, and only said, "I thought Xiao Hei was a homeless man. The dog had no owner and the children liked it, so he stayed.”
Manager Zhou: "..."
Whose stray dog is fat and strong, with black and shiny hair?
Shang Wan, who was telling lies with his eyes open, continued to hit him, "I didn't expect it to be a fighting dog raised by a gambling house. This is the first time I have seen such a docile fighting dog. It won't bite."
Xiaohuan helped, "Yeah, I've never seen a fighting dog so clingy. It even bothers my kids and can't drive them away."
Manager Zhou: "..."
He stared at the two singing and harmonizing, his face flushed slightly, and he wanted to curse.
Can pitbulls be associated with the word clingy?
ah? ! ! !
Who do you look down on?
But he looked at Manager Zhong next to him several times and suppressed the curses on his lips.
Shang Wan said: "I'm not someone who takes advantage. Since Xiao Hei is willing to stay at my house and my children like it, it's fate. I want to buy it from your gambling shop. Please give me a price."
Black Dog is the money tree of the gambling house. How could Manager Zhou sell the money tree so easily?
He opened his mouth to refuse, but Manager Zhong agreed faster than he did, "If Shopkeeper Shang likes it, this fighting dog will be given to Shopkeeper Shang to enjoy as an apology from the gambling house."
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
She emphasized apology again and again, and her attitude was so good that Shang Wan just felt that Boss Zhong was trying to trick her.
She politely refused, and either asked the people in the gambling house to take Xiao Hei back, or quoted a price for her to buy it.
Manager Zhou couldn't understand the current situation. Why did he become a cash cow for them to beg the hateful woman across the street to take over their gambling house?
This is a money tree!
You can earn at least a hundred taels of silver in one game!
Manager Zhou didn't understand, and Manager Zhou was shocked.
Shang Wan didn't feel like he was getting a bargain at all, and he was wary.
If Yuanyuan didn't really like it, Shang Wan would have given the dog away directly.
But... the child just likes a dog, how can he not be satisfied?
One wanted to be given money, the other wanted to be given away for free. Shang Wan and Manager Zhong went back and forth for a long time, and finally Shang Wan spent five taels of silver to buy Xiao Hei.
Is five taels of silver sent to a beggar? !
Manager Zhou's face was so dark. He reluctantly glanced at his money tree again and again, then followed Manager Zhong and turned around to leave.
·
On the fourth floor of the gambling house, Manager Zhong raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Manager Zhong pushed the door open and entered the room, reporting through the gauze curtain, "My boss, shopkeeper Shang accepted the apology and spent five taels of silver to buy Xiao Hei."
The young man behind the gauze curtain snorted coldly, raised his hand and smashed the white jade wine glass on the table.
Manager Zhong immediately knelt down and said, "This subordinate is not doing his job well. Please be punished by my boss."
