Chapter 93 Xiaoqiang’s scapegoat
After finishing breakfast, Cai Gen was smoking at the bar and waiting for his wife. He was startled by the deafening sound of digging into the wall next door.
When I opened the door and went out, I saw that the dusty branch next door was opened and several workers were working.
You start working at 7 o'clock, aren't you afraid of disturbing the people? What kind of business is this that makes you so anxious to start business?
Next door to Cai Gen, there used to be a restaurant called Northeast Malatang. From the name, you can tell that the restaurant was run by a very unprofessional person.
There is a lot of stew in the Northeast, but there is no Malatang. This is a common-sense mistake. Cai Gen also discussed it with the beautiful owner of the store before,
"Beauty, you should call this Sichuan Malatang. Why do you call it Northeastern Malatang? It sounds unprofessional."
"What do you know? This is called differentiated competition. The streets in the city are full of Sichuan Malatang. How can I open a Northeastern one? No spicy or spicy. This is my style. It will attract more attention."
There is no problem with the business idea of the beautiful shop owner, differentiated competition, but opening a restaurant is not a movie theater. It is useless to attract eyeballs, but to attract tongues.
No accident occurred. The Northeastern Malatang, which did not add any spicy or spicy ingredients, struggled to survive for four months and then closed down.
Because it is close to a high school, the rent is relatively expensive, so expensive that it is not affordable for ordinary businesses, not just for tutoring classes. A 100-square-meter shop does not face the street. In a community, the rent is 100,000 yuan a year, and the rent is 300 yuan a day. It is not a huge profit industry. Can't afford to rent.
Cai Gen's rent is very high, 20,000 yuan a year, because the landlord is his mother-in-law.
Back then, when Cai Gen still had money, he lent the money to the outlet his mother-in-law bought. Later, real estate took off and tripled or quadrupled. Then his mother-in-law returned the money to Cai Gen without paying interest.
Cai Gen took the money returned by his mother-in-law and opened a restaurant. As a result, he lost all his money.
Every time he thinks about this matter, Cai Gen regrets it. If he had not opened a restaurant and used money to buy outlets, now he could go home and collect rent. How happy he would be.
Now the mother-in-law is trying to help Cai Gen by offering rent of 20,000 yuan per year. Cai Gen is deeply moved.
Walking into the outlet next door, a worker was digging a trench with an electric hammer, probably to knock down all the original decorations.
Cai Gen handed a cigarette to the idle worker at the door and asked curiously,
"Is it necessary for a renter to decorate like this?"
The worker who was doing the work didn’t know Cai Gen either, but he still replied,
"It's not rented, it's bought. It's said that I paid extra for it, just two million."
If you deposit two million in the bank, you will get more than one hundred thousand in interest a year. If you buy an outlet and do business, you may still lose money. This company is really awesome.
"What kind of business are you going to do with this decoration?"
When the worker saw Cai Gen coming from a nearby restaurant, he thought Cai Gen was afraid that his colleagues would steal business, so he laughed and said,
"I don't know what the deal is. Anyway, the decoration budget is very high. It's a Chinese-style home, so it shouldn't be a hotel."
Chinese home style? What kind of deal is that? Talk about Chinese studies? Chinese studies training class? Cai Gen couldn't figure it out, so he still couldn't help asking.
"Why do you start working so early? It would be bad if there are people sleeping in upstairs. It would be a bit disturbing to the people."
The workers also looked helpless,
"The owner is anxious to move in. It is said that they just paid the money last night and the construction will start today. Four engineering teams are working at the same time. They require three days to move in. They gave money for expediting, but there is nothing we can do."
How careless is this? Spending two million to buy an outlet and then move in within three days of decoration? Cai Gen became more and more curious.
At this time, his wife came with her son, and Cai Gen quickly returned to the house,
Breakfast was served. The quality of breakfast today was not high, noodles braised with green peppers and eggs, because Cai Gen was really hungry for noodles.
Before noon, I made breakfast.
The green pepper was not spicy, and with the addition of eggs, the mouthful was filled with the fragrance of vegetables. My son was very proud of it and ate two bowls. Cai Gen was very happy. Xiao Sun was also full of praise and ate four bowls with a head of garlic, even leaving some for the flies.
My wife was eating and suddenly said,
"Husband, why have the white hairs on the back of your head suddenly increased?"
Xiao Sun Xixi Noodle's mouth stopped. He might have thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it and continued eating the noodles naturally.
Cai Gen gave a vague answer,
"You are old enough, you still stay up late, and your hair is a little gray, so you are worthy of the title of middle-aged greasy uncle."
The wife wanted to say something else, but the glass door of the store opened, and Xiaoqiang walked in, wearing work clothes, a suit and leather shoes. After entering the door, he lay down on the camp bed without saying hello to anyone else.
Cai Gen looked like something was wrong and asked with concern,
"Xiaoqiang, you're not going to work today? What do you mean by wearing such a serious dress?"
Xiaoqiang covered his forehead with his arm and said feebly,
"I am in the Mao class. I dress like this to deceive my wife. I may not be able to take any classes in the future."
Putting down his job, Cai Gen nervously came to Xiaoqiang and asked eagerly,
"What do you mean? What happened to you? Were you caught stealing money?"
It was originally a joke, but when Xiaoqiang heard about stealing money, he sat up.
"That big idiot in my class, that little brat, has to steal money while I'm on duty. The vice president is not his father, so he knows how to trick me."
Xiaoqiang is the president. He has two vice presidents, one in charge of back office and one in charge of business. The three of them are on duty in shifts and are responsible for the settlement every night. In fact, they just watch the settlement. There is an accountant. Xiaoqiang has always been careless. In a place like a bank, carelessness will cause problems. Cai Gen reminded him many times, but he didn't take it seriously.
"Who? How much was stolen? Has anyone caught it?"
He really has a big heart, and most people can't compare to Xiaoqiang. He lay down again and said with a lifeless voice,
"Wang Yongfu, the family is not short of money at all. I left early yesterday and didn't pay attention to the settlement. This grandson took 2 million and ran away. When the cash transport truck came, he found out that the money was missing and called his brother immediately. I called the police, and his brother immediately got 2 million in cash to confront him, so he didn’t call the police. But when I was on duty, I was jointly and severally responsible and handled it internally.”
What a twist, is there still such an operation? Cai Gen asked puzzledly,
"Two million, how many years will the sentence be? Don't you call the police?"
Xiaoqiang’s rambling explanation,
"The public image of calling the police is not good, and the top boss at the head office also feels uncomfortable. It will be fine if the money is returned. There is no actual loss. It will be handled internally and it will be over."
It turned out that the leader was afraid of affecting his career, so he concealed it and refused to report it. Then Cai Gen asked again,
"What are we going to do internally? Fire that Wang Yongfu? What about you?"
When I mention this, Xiaoqiang is even more desperate for life,
"When his brother paid back the money, he agreed to keep his job and have a major demerit. As for me, I'm waiting for notification. The president has no chance. I just need to keep my job."
The person who stole the money is fine, but he is jointly and severally liable for the biggest loss? What kind of truth is this?
Although Xiaoqiang has his own uncle who is the leader of the head office, as the president, he is also working hard one step at a time. He has worked a lot and endured it. He started working as a teller at the age of 24 and became the president at the age of 37. It is a good age and a good time. There is still room for improvement. If this is withdrawn, you have to start over.
A fire breaks out at the city gate, causing disaster to the fish in the pond. Fate always plays tricks on people, even to their death.
