The courtyard inside Shunchang Vinegar Shop is still as usual. A large vinegar jar is placed under the screen wall, surrounded by two iconic stone tables with several teacups on them. Looking at the steaming hot tea, it was just It didn't take long.
Chen Zhen looked around, and his eyes finally fell on the snow vinegar and apple cider vinegar. They had come to look for him once before when that happened to him. Many people were already disappointed with Chen Zhen, but Shunchang Vinegar Shop's The boss didn't speak at that time, but just followed everyone and left silently.
Chen Zhen noticed the other party's micro-expression, but what he didn't expect was that on the first day Ergou Vinegar Fang opened, the boss directly placed a large order for apple cider vinegar from Ergou Vinegar Fang and put it up for sale in his own store. , and the word snow vinegar is still written on the signboard next to it.
Everyone thought that relying on the name of Ergou Vinegar Shop, he could sell it at a good price, but his contrary behavior has been questioned by many people.
There were many people communicating with the boss, including Zhang Linjiang, who came to see the other party, but the boss completely ignored him and continued to go his own way. His wife didn’t know how many times she told the boss, and even secretly took off the snow vinegar sign. , but the boss insisted on having a big quarrel because of this matter.
When Chen Zhen was in the most difficult time, the other party could support him so much. No matter what the other party's intentions were, Chen Zhen has not forgotten this feeling.
Chen Zhen discovered this on the bill after the new store opened, and naturally kept it in mind.
"We've known each other for so long, and I still don't know what your name is?"
"My name is more popular, Wang Fugui, just call me Fugui!"
Wang Fugui said with a grin, poured Chen Zhen a cup of hot tea, and handed him a cigarette.
"Isn't it easy to do business during this period? It feels like there are a lot fewer people than before!"
Chen Zhen took a sip of tea and asked softly. Wang Fugui was also an honest man. He took a puff of a cigarette and didn't know what to say. A woman next to him came out and saw Chen Zhen's figure and immediately said in a strange way: "Humph, you You also know that our business is not doing well? Isn’t it because of your farce some time ago?”
"My man doesn't know what kind of medicine you gave him. Everyone is avoiding your apple cider vinegar, but he insists on showing it off, and all the neighbors call us bastards!"
"I'm so unlucky to know you. Why do you have the nerve to come here..."
The woman was holding an aluminum colander for vinegar and said with disdain, and Wang Fugui immediately stood up and pushed the woman towards the outside: "What do you, a woman, know? Don't talk nonsense here. , get out quickly, get out!"
"What's the matter? You're not allowed to talk about anything you've done. I'm really a loser and worthless when I marry you!"
"I can't help you anymore, right? Get out now!"
…
The woman then gave Chen Zhen a hard look and turned around to leave. Wang Fugui watched the woman leave, then turned around and sat down, scratched his head and said: "Boss Chen, I'm sorry, this woman has long hair and short knowledge. You don’t want to be acquainted with her, she doesn’t understand anything!”
Chen Zhen dismissed those words as false, and was naturally slightly touched in his heart. It was not easy for Wang Fugui to resist such great pressure and support himself.
"I'm sorry, Fugui, you've been suffering during this time!"
Chen Zhen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, patted Wang Fugui on the shoulder and said.
Wang Fugui also snorted and frowned: "I was very angry when they denounced Boss Chen, but I saw a trace of firmness in your sinking eyes. This feeling is how you look now!"
"I have to admit that I was shaken at first, but when I came back, I thought about it all night and drank a lot. When I woke up the next day, I also figured it out. I want to bet. I bet that you, Boss Chen, can't just You fell down like this. If you fell down, I thought I was wrong. If you didn’t fall down, then..."
"Although there are many people around me making irresponsible remarks, I have been sensible since I was a child, and I am somewhat stubborn and stubborn, so this is how it is now."
…
After Wang Fugui finished speaking with a reluctant expression, he raised his head with a forced smile and showed the slightest smile, which made Chen Zhen feel even more uncomfortable.
I am a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. If you can be tough with me, I can fight with you to the end. But if you try to do this with me, I will feel a little unbearable.
Chen Zhen did not continue what the other party said. Chen Zhen knew in his heart that no matter how much he comforted him, he could not make up for the grievances he suffered during this period. It would be better to use practical actions.
"By the way, Zhu Hongquan has collected membership fees from you before? What is the normal business environment like? I want you to tell me!"
Chen Zhen's attitude in asking was very sincere. Wang Fugui had been doing business on this street for so many years and naturally knew a lot of rules. He motioned Chen Zhen to go to the back room to discuss in detail.
The two of them chatted in the back room for nearly three or four hours. From day to mid-afternoon, the street lights in the ancient city were already on. During the process, the guys went in to change nearly four or five bottles of hot water. The smoke in the house was also on it. One layer floats.
"Okay, I already understand the specific things. You should also consider what I told you. I believe you can do it!"
Chen Zhen and Wang Fugui finally walked out of the back room. Chen Zhen said while walking outside. Wang Fugui nodded and sent Chen Zhen out of the vinegar shop. He did not speak until Chen Zhen's figure disappeared. Turned around and walked back.
At this time, the woman also came over with resentment, patted Wang Fugui on the shoulder and said: "Why, what kind of brainwashing did that person have on you? He allowed you two to talk for most of the day. Look. It’s choking inside!”
"Don't tell me what investments he wants you to make or what new products he wants to introduce. If you do that, I won't be able to get along with you!"
"He is just a white-eyed wolf. When he doesn't need you, he throws you far away. He doesn't care about our life or death. I don't know what bad intentions he has now!"
…
Wang Fugui rolled his eyes at the woman and took the vinegar bottle in her hand: "Walking wolf? Have you ever seen a wolf with white eyes who wanted me to be the vice president of the Pingjiang Chamber of Commerce?"
ah?
What!
Vice president of Pingjiang Chamber of Commerce?
The woman's eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at Wang Fugui in shock. Her mouth was wide open. People who didn't know it thought she was dislocated.
The vice president of the Pingjiang Chamber of Commerce is rich and expensive. Not only does he not have to pay any membership fees, but even if his store's funds are a little tight, he can borrow money from the chamber of commerce. Moreover, the reputation of a vice president means that there are many people who will come to fawn over him. Woolen cloth.
Chen Zhen actually asked Wang Fugui to be the vice president? !
