Chapter 1661: A Man’s Face Is Most Important
Mengyu said again, "However, I can work as the Boss’s representative."
Zhao Daquan caught on immediately, "You mean, you’re the deputy Boss?"
Mengyu shook her head then nodded, "My Boss doesn’t want to meet you, but is willing to meet me. I’ll lend you money, you go collect the antiques, and I’ll help you sell them to the Boss, taking a ten percent commission. If you’re willing, I’ll sign a contract with you. Also, I can give you a booklet on treasure appraisal. Once you learn it, you can use it directly for comparison when collecting, which can help you avoid detours."
No need to bear the costs themselves, plus a booklet for comparison. Where else could you find such a good deal?
Finally, everyone except Qin Xiangshan signed a contract with Mengyu.
Mengyu had money, so she immediately lent each person one thousand yuan.
It’s not that Mengyu didn’t want to lend them more, but they didn’t dare borrow more themselves.
During this period, although there were few fake antiques, they did exist. However, Mengyu suggested they go house to house to collect, which would make it easier to find genuine items.
Mengyu told them, "When you’re collecting items, don’t worry about whether they’re complete. The older the antiques, the more the Boss likes them, and larger items are favored even more by the Boss."
What she wanted was the Sun and Moon Essence attached to the antiques, so she naturally didn’t care about completeness.
While Mengyu and the others were noisily signing contracts in the private room, chaos erupted outside the room.
How could Cheng Jiuyi tolerate being beaten by a woman just like that? He always believed that he was unprepared for the martial arts practitioners by Mengyu’s side and was therefore beaten out by Huilan.
If it came down to a real confrontation, he wouldn’t be easily defeated.
Moreover, after being beaten out, he initially felt unable to move, but once he regained his composure, he found that he was unharmed, further convinced that the opponent had no real power, merely leveraging skill to eject him.
He didn’t know that Mengyu had instructed her people never to use Mana on mortals or harm them. Therefore, Wang Huilan didn’t hit him hard.
Therefore, after Cheng Jiuyi confirmed once more with Fatty that the private room was originally reserved for him, he shouted at the waiter Xiao Song, "These students are too much. Get that private room door open and kick them out for me!" ℯ𝐥.
Xiao Song hesitated because claiming the private room was originally reserved for Fatty was, after all, false.
Having been thrown out twice, Fatty worriedly said, "Boss, let’s just drop it. That nasty woman is too fierce."
Cheng Jiuyi angrily replied, "Drop it? My friends are about to arrive. If the private room isn’t available then, where will my face be?"
Indeed, a man’s face is most important. How could they let themselves be underestimated by a woman?
"Should I call someone?" Fatty asked.
Cheng Jiuyi looked at the waiter Xiao Song, "The woman in this private room forcibly occupied the room I reserved and closed the door. Isn’t it time to call security?"
He wanted to kick the private room door open himself, but he was acutely aware that the owner of this roast duck shop wasn’t simple either. Otherwise, such a prime location with business booming would’ve been taken over long ago.
Thus, he dared not harm the private room door.
But if he couldn’t kick it open, he could let someone else do it.
The waiter Xiao Song internally complained: What do you mean your reserved private room, your people came to reserve when others were already eating?
Of course, he didn’t dare say that. The person in front of him was one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, possibly also the future Family Head of the Cheng Family.
He believed that if the shop owner were here, he would surely follow their command. Therefore, he could only call security.
Soon after, the waiter Xiao Song returned with Security Captain Old man Chen. Since Xiao Song said there was trouble in the private room, the security captain brought a team of security guards.
However, looking at the tightly shut private room door, the security captain puzzledly looked at Xiao Song: Wasn’t there supposed to be trouble? People have their door closed orderly, not showing any sign of disturbance.
