20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 293 Scrooge Liang Bolin

The clerk from Shanfangtang pointed at Liu Yansheng.

Liang Bolin, the shopkeeper, saw the gentleman-looking person and greeted him with a smile. He bowed first and then shook hands, using a combination of Chinese and Western etiquette. The etiquette was quite thorough. He thought he was a decent man, but he opened his mouth and asked, "Have you brought any money?"

Liu Yan laughed awkwardly, turned sideways, and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liang. Let me introduce you first. This is the boss of Zongheng Company, Boss Jiang Lian and Hengjiang."

"Hey! Why did Boss Jiang come here specifically for such a small amount of money? I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."

Liang Bolin said polite words, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but look a little surprised.

But I saw that the person who came was about seven feet tall, about twenty-four or five years old, with light eyebrows and uneven eyebrows, thin and sharp lips. Although he was dressed in rich clothes, he had a vague look of an eagle looking at a wolf.

As the saying goes: Prosperity can conceal one's true gangster nature, and wealth cannot change a reckless heart.

What surprised Liang Bolin even more was that this young junior looked somewhat familiar.

"Hiss! Boss Jiang, forgive me for my blindness, have we met somewhere before?"

Jiang Lianheng nodded and said, "Nancheng, Lao Jiang's family."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Liang's eyes trembled, he was indeed this poor, wild boy and a docile donkey.

More than ten years ago, Liang Bolin had just taken over his father's cabinet business. He was the first to take the lead. He was naturally very attentive to the customers he came and went, and left a deep impression on this poor boy.

At that time, Jiang Lianheng was only ten years old, and his father fell ill.

The family was already living a tight life, but with the pillars of support crumbling and Jiang's mother busy with day labor, Jiang Lianheng often walked alone from the south of the city to the north to buy medicine at Shanfangtang.

But the family's savings have been depleted, and my father's illness has not yet recovered.

Fortunately, the old shopkeeper of Shanfangtang was kind-hearted and the medicinal materials needed were not expensive, so Jiang Lianheng was able to buy the medicine on credit.

Later, when Liang Bolin became the shopkeeper, he insisted that "righteousness does not control wealth" and he no longer allowed credit.

Jiang Lianheng didn't know this, so when he went to get the medicine again, he was hit with a mess, so he lay down on the ground and acted violently, making a lot of noise. As a result, he was kicked out with beatings and scoldings.

My father was hopeless and died soon after.

From then on, Jiang's mother worked hard day and night. After two years, she also became ill from overwork and passed away.

Later, there was a night thief in the king's house, and the various situations of worshiping his father "Old Owl" naturally need no elaboration.

After three days of separation, Liang Bolin looked at each other with admiration. Although Liang Bolin knew the saying "Don't deceive young people into poverty", but with his life experience, how many people in the world can suddenly become rich with a thunder?

After thinking about it carefully in hindsight, I felt that this kid was shameless and shameless when he beat a child. Compared with children from ordinary families, he was indeed different.

This person is really in trouble, nine out of ten will die, and only one will be left. If he can get help from a noble person, he will be in trouble.

Liang Bolin was very calm, because "no credit" was not personal, but a new rule on the counter, so he simply did not mention the old things, bowed and smiled and said: "So Brother Jiang is the boss of Jiang! It seems that he is making a lot of money. , People who do big business are amazing!”

Jiang Lianheng didn't want to settle old scores in the past. After all, people can't be resurrected, and if he had to blame, he could only blame himself for having no money back then. He couldn't blame others. Besides, the old shopkeeper of Shanfangtang was kind to him and he should get over it. It’s over.

Even so, when talking about it, it is still inevitable to be sarcastic.

"It's not easy for Shopkeeper Liang to still remember me when he's doing such a big business? Eh? You're not still remembering the debt I owe you, are you? Why don't you do the math again and I'll pay them all today to save you the trouble? Always remember me."

"Hey! Those are just small amounts of money. If you don't tell me, I have forgotten them after more than ten years. If I remember correctly, it should be two yuan and thirty-three cents. Well, Shunzi, go and bring me the old account!"

Liu Yansheng frowned and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Liang, I think we should talk about insurance first?"

Liang Bolin waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I have already calculated the money for you. The total compensation should be two thousand and three hundred to me..."

"Shopkeeper Liang, shopkeeper Liang!" Liu Yansheng interrupted, "You can't pay as much as you say. We need to investigate the situation."

Liang Bolin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if he was pretending not to understand, or if he really didn't understand: "What else can I check? The goods are lost, and you will pay for it. It's clearly written in the contract, and I definitely won't Taking advantage of you."

"Shopkeeper Liang, why do I feel like you wish your goods were lost?" Jiang Lianheng asked with a half-smile, "Hey! That's not right, or you seem to know that your goods will definitely be lost, so you bought them temporarily. Got a serious insurance policy?"

"What do you mean? - Oh, you don't think I'm cheating here, do you?"

Liang Bolin looked around in fear, as if he had been greatly wronged.

However, Jiang Lianheng and Liu Yansheng just smacked their lips and had no intention of cooperating with his exaggerated expression.

At this time, Zhao Zhengbei said: "Don't you know whether it's a fraud or not? Let's investigate, and maybe we can find the medicinal materials you lost!"

"Then you go find it!" Liang Bolin seemed confident, "But even if you find it, you still have to pay." "Fuck, why?" Zhao Zhengbei asked.

"I bought delay insurance!" Liang Bolin said: "This is what you wrote in your contract. If the goods are delayed due to force majeure factors such as natural disasters, man-made disasters, train breakdowns, etc., you can get compensation. Although it is not much, there is still 120 …”

Zhao Zhengbei looked like he had eaten a fly and said, "Okay, okay, you are still a drug store owner. From the moment you enter the door, you will never leave money. What the hell!"

Liang Bolin drooped his face and sneered: "Little brother, I am in business. I am not in it for money. Why don't you treat me as your son to support me in my old age?"

"Fuck your mother..."

Before Zhao Zhengbei could finish cursing, Jiang Lianheng raised his arms and hugged him behind him.

Liang Bolin immediately put on his aggrieved face again, glared and said, "He, what does he mean? Is this how your Zongheng insurance company treats its customers? Do you not want to lose money, or what?"

When the customers coming and going to grab medicine heard the commotion, they all looked sideways and murmured, "What does Zongheng Insurance Company do?" and "Is it reliable? Why doesn't it look like a good person?"

Jiang Lianheng's eyelids twitched, and he pressed his fists at Liang Bolin, but there was no smile on his face anymore.

"Shop Manager Liang, Zongheng Insurance Company attaches great importance to credibility. You will not lose a penny of the compensation you should pay. However, compensation is compensation, and investigation is investigation. We are doing this as a matter of routine, and we have no intention of delaying it intentionally."

"Boss Jiang, it's not that I'm uncooperative. The key is what can I know? How long do you have to investigate? At least, the money for the delay insurance is a sure thing. You have to give it to me first, right?"

"Yansheng, get him money!"

"Ah? Brother, this is not in compliance with the regulations..." Liu Yansheng was a little embarrassed.

"Get the money!" Jiang Lianheng didn't want to say any more nonsense.

Liu Yansheng had no choice but to take out a few foreign bills from his pocket, slap them on the counter one after another, and said: "Shop Manager Liang, you can take the compensation for the delay insurance first, but at least answer a few of our questions first."

Liang Bolin's eyes widened when he saw Qian, and he said happily: "Okay, okay, you tell me."

"I heard that the medicinal materials in the carriage were missing. I want to confirm with you. Were you present at the time? Did you watch the carriage open but there was no medicine, or was it stored somewhere and then thrown away?"

Liang Bolin said: "My goods are all medicinal materials, and they are sold in my own counter. They are not sold out, so there is no need to store them. I just took one or two trips from home and brought them back. That day...it was only six o'clock. How many minutes? Anyway, it was just darkened, so I didn't go there. When the coachman came back, he told me that he didn't see the goods."

"Your own coachman?" Liu Yan asked.

Liang Bolin said: "Yes, Lao Nie, I have been an old servant in the family for many years, so I can't be wrong."

Liu Yansheng and Jiang Lianheng looked at each other and asked, "Can you let us go to your residence and talk to the coachman?"

"Oh, I don't have time!" Liang Bolin said, "You can't do the business in this cabinet without me keeping an eye on it! Otherwise, you can go there by yourself. Boss Jiang is also a local and knows how to get there, so go tell him . I will definitely not stop you, so that you don’t have to accuse me of cheating on insurance and money!”

Liu Yansheng wanted to ask again, but when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Lianheng had already walked away, so he had to chase him out quickly.

The crowd turned out of the alley of Shanfangtang and not far away, Liu Yansheng asked: "Brother, what do you think of Shopkeeper Liang?"

Zhao Zhengbei replied with a look of disdain: "The money-loving guy always smells like copper when he speaks. And I don't think he's worried about whether he's lost the goods at all. He looks quite happy."

Jiang Lianheng said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't have ghosts, then there will be ghosts in this world."

Zhao Zhengbei said angrily: "Yes! Brother Dao, doesn't he love money? Let's let him earn his life and not spend it!"

"That's not okay!" Liu Yansheng hurriedly dissuaded him, "If we clear out Shopkeeper Liang, we are just looking for temporary pleasure, and the business will be completely ruined."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Zhengbei said proudly, "When you were in Yingkou, you inserted a Qiao Lao Er, but you also got other businesses. We have guns in our hands and have killed all the Japanese. Are you still worried about having no food to eat? "

While talking, everyone, led by Jiang Lianheng, came to the Liang family residence in a roundabout way.

Although this house is not as elegant as Jiangnan, it is still very unique. It shows low-key and restrained in every aspect. At this time of year, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are green and green, and it is especially quiet. I don’t know if it has something to do with my business. The breeze blows, and the courtyard seems to have a certain atmosphere. The scent of herbs.

Jiang Lianheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after, a young concierge came out of the house and asked, "Who are you looking for? My master is on the cabinet, not at home."

Jiang Lian clasped his fists and said politely: "Brother, we are not looking for your employer. May I ask if Lao Nie, who drives the car at home, is here?"

"Here, who are you?"

"Oh, we are salesmen from an insurance company, come here to learn about the situation."
