Chapter 18 Chapter Seventy-Eight No Flaws

Ding Hao took a careful inventory of the warehouses (warehouses for storing pawned items) in Zhutou Hutong. Except for the few items that were going to be sold in advance, there was nothing wrong with it. Although the item was inappropriate, shopkeeper Xu also considered that the owner's current capital turnover was a bit insufficient, but it was out of good intentions, although there was a violation of the regulations, it was not a big deal. After Ding Hao came out of the warehouse, old man Xu with a goatee looked at him and sneered: Mr. Ding is in charge, the old man manages the warehouse, is there any unclear accounts?

Ding Hao smiled: No. So, can the things stored in these old rooms be piled up in a chaotic, decayed place where rats gnaw? Also no. So, can the things managed by the old man be pawned at a high price and sold at a low price? No, neither. Xu Muchen snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and looked around, ignoring him.Ding Hao was still grinning and didn't get angry, Wang Guanshi looked unsightly at the side, kept making jokes, and tried hard to get along with each other, but Xu Muchen seemed to be really angry, and he didn't speak at all, making the situation even more embarrassing, Ding Hao saw this, I had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.Xu Muchen sat there looking at each other coldly, not even intending to get up and see him off.

Steward Wang sent Ding Hao out of the house with a laugh, and said softly, "Don't mind, Steward Ding. The old shopkeeper has this kind of temper. He is old-fashioned and can't be criticized. After all, he is a famous person in the industry. , the other big storekeepers of Jieku have more or less been instructed by him, and some of them are his apprentices. Now they are being punished by Manager Ding, and it is inevitable that they will feel embarrassed.But you don't have to be too bold, shopkeeper Xu has a straightforward personality, as long as what you say is reasonable, don't look at the reluctance on the old shopkeeper's face, but he won't take it to heart, and it will disappear in a day or two .

Ding Hao smiled wryly and said: Thank you, Steward Wang, in front of shopkeeper Xu, thank you for your kind words.The brother is also on official business, so he didn't mean to make things difficult for Mr. Du. That is, that is, brothers know, everyone is doing things for the Ding family, and everyone keeps their own responsibilities, as it should be. Ding Hao was left out in the cold, and the shameless Zhuer who came with him also had a dull face, and kept silent with his brows on the sidelines.When the three of them walked out of the gate, they saw Granny Liu was wiping the copper ring on the door with a rag, and when she saw Ding Hao coming out, Granny Liu smiled and said: "Ding Hao's business, did you finish trading the yard so soon?"

That's right, Granny Liu, Ding Hao is here today just to take a look around, hehe, he's going back soon.Ding Hao nodded. Granny Liu smiled and said: That's right, shopkeeper Xu still needs to check?Shopkeeper Xu has been in this business for more than forty years, and he is very shrewd. Anyone who comes to pawn will say that he is a smart old fox, and the gold bars can be said to be broken copper and iron before they are pawned. A good hand, the proprietor also relies heavily on it.Who else is worried about Shopkeeper Xu's work?Such a capable person, if he can find out what happened to him, he will see a ghost

Manager Wang scolded with a smile: Mrs. Liu, what kind of person is the old shopkeeper, and you are still used to rely on the old man to praise him?Go, go, do your work. Ding Hao stopped with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Ding will leave now, Mr. Wang, please stop." Wang Zhizhou stopped in his tracks, laughed and said: "Guan Ding, walk slowly, then Old Wang will not be far away." Seeing Ding Hao walking away, Wang Zhizhou turned back to the pawn shop, where Xu Muchen was sitting there drinking tea contentedly.Steward Wang chuckled, raised his big finger and said: The old shopkeeper is tall, really tall!Xiao Wang has learned a hand from you again today.

Shopkeeper Xu smiled: A little thing that hasn't grown up yet dares to fight with the old man. He took a sip of tea and said contemptuously: For most of my life, the old man has been looking at gold, silver and treasures, but he has seen the ups and downs of life.What kind of character has the old man never seen?Deliberately showing weakness can relax the old man's vigilance?Make friends with some servants in charge, understand a little bit of pawnshop rules on the sidelines, and you can find trouble with this old man?It's ridiculous. Manager Wang beamed and said: "The old shopkeeper's trick is really brilliant. I deliberately gave him an innocuous handle. This can dispel his suspicions better than dripping water, but this trick can't cure us, hahaha

Shopkeeper Xu snorted and said: Don't underestimate him, this young man is very rich.I don't give him a good face like this, but he is not ashamed or annoyed. If he turns his face without changing his face, he is not afraid. The more he is like this, the more disturbing it is.Well, you go and inform Master Jiu, this person had better find a reason to send him away as soon as possible, otherwise, if the thirty-year-old lady stretches the child, we will be ashamed Seeing that the old shopkeeper spoke cautiously, Wang Zhizhou quickly responded with a solemn face. Sao Zhu'er and Ding Hao were walking on the street, and couldn't help saying: Dumb, I've been a pawn all my life, what can we find out about him.Take a look at the warehouse, it's a neat size.You can't see any serious problems in the accounts, you just want to start with others, look at you, let others embarrass you today

Ding Hao said with a smile: Not only is the warehouse tidy and the accounts clear, but you didn't notice how low the price of the pawns came in?When sold, some prices more than doubled. Wow, doesn't this just show the ability of shopkeeper Xu? Ding Hao smiled and said: "It is capable, too capable, the accounts are clear, the rules are kept, and the management is proper.The ability is so good, but this shop in the downtown area, why doesn't it make money?No flaws, hey!I feel that if there is no flaw, it is the biggest flaw. As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped thoughtfully, Shame Zhuer followed his gaze, and saw a big girl with flowers on her temples walking slowly in front of her, with a beautiful waist, but her face was The compliments didn't come, so I couldn't help curling my lips and said: Dumb, what kind of eyesight do you have, I don't think this little lady is as good as a bowl of Yuwanyi.

When Ding Hao came to his senses, he sneered, rolled his eyes and said, "A bowl of jade is in your heart now, that is a fairy daughter descending to earth, no one can compare to it, right?" After he finished laughing, he frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: It's a bit strange, I think there is something in her words. ah?Who?Sao Zhu'er looked around in a daze, and said in astonishment: "When did that little lady talk to you?" Ding Hao shook his head, and suddenly smiled: I don't want to, let's go shopping around, grab some medicine for my mother, and then go back.

When Ding Hao returned to Ding's mansion, the room was empty, and Mrs. Yang, whose health had improved somewhat, went back to the kitchen to help.Now that Ding Hao is here, Liu Ming, the kitchen steward, is very respectful and assigns the easiest jobs to Mrs. Yang, so Ding Hao is not worried. He took off his robe, and was just about to lie down to rest, when a girl's voice suddenly asked in the courtyard: "Where does Guanshi Ding live?" Sao Zhu'er said: "So it's Sister Lan'er. Steward Ding has just returned to his room." Ding Hao got up from the kang and said in a low voice: Miss Lan'er, what's the matter? Lan'er, the girl from the upper house, appeared at the door lightly, looked at his residence curiously, and said with a sweet smile: "Guarantee Ding, according to the orders of the young lady, please go over after Mrs. Ding comes back." young lady?Ding Hao was a little taken aback when he heard this: the rich family has many rules, since he returned to the Ding family compound, even though he is currently working as an internal manager and often goes in and out of the internal house, it is rare for Miss Yuluo to meet her, let alone her. The young lady is gone, what does the young lady want me for?
