I'm not a pet

Chapter 348
Shopkeeper Qin has been troubled recently.

The boss took the proprietress and left the young master, saying that he went on a "tour".

It doesn't matter that the boss is not at home. After all, the previous boss, Hua Wuxin, has always been a superhero. In the past few years, he has only appeared in Ruyixuan a few times, but as the shopkeeper, he can still manage Ruyixuan in an orderly manner. , the key is to ensure that Ruyixuan's financial resources will continue to flow...

As for the young master, although he is young, he is sensible and self-disciplined.Every day, Xiao Wu would accompany him to play, practice, eat, and sleep with him...he didn't have to worry about it.

What he is upset about is...

On the day the boss and the proprietress said they were going on a trip, they had just left when Ruyixuan ushered in a special guest.

This person is Manager Xu of the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, Shopkeeper Qin and Guanshi Xu are old acquaintances. Although they haven't had much contact with each other, both of them used to be the subordinates of Boss Hua, but he was in business, while Guanshi Xu was in politics. of.

As soon as Ruyixuan opened for business that day, Manager Xu came over.

Xu Guanshi, who was about his age, had a neatly groomed beard on his fair face, and a rigorous and serious expression on his face, which formed a perfect contrast with him, a businessman with a sparse goatee and a smile on his face when he saw everyone. sharp contrast.

When Steward Xu walked into Ruyixuan that day, he was taken aback!After all, the governor of the City Lord's Mansion has never visited his Ruyi Xuan.

"Hey! What kind of wind blows you to our Ruyi Pavilion?"

He greeted them with a smile on his face, but his mind was spinning extremely fast, thinking about the recent illegal operation of Ruyi Xuan.

Manager Xu didn't answer in time, but first looked around the Ruyixuan hall where there were no diners, and then stretched his head to look in the direction of the second floor, as if he was inspecting.

This made shopkeeper Qin feel even more uneasy.

"I don't know why Manager Xu is here today?"

Although he thought that Ruyixuan had never operated in violation of regulations, seeing Guanshi Xu's businesslike appearance, he still felt guilty in his heart, and the smile on his face became a little stiff because of this.

Xu Guanshi finally scanned the place within sight with his eyes, and then asked him: "Where is Miss Baozhu?"

"Uh……"

Shopkeeper Qin did not expect that Manager Xu came to find the proprietress, and what he asked was "where is" instead of "can be". Does this mean that he knows that the proprietress has returned to Ruyixuan?

It's just that the proprietress just returned to Ruyixuan from the countryside the night before, and she didn't leave the backyard all day yesterday.I'm afraid that only he and Xiao Wu know about the lady boss's return. How did Guan Shi know about it?
Thinking of the special identities of the boss and the boss's wife, this made him pay attention, and he simply replied: "Miss Bao is not here."

There was nothing wrong with his reply, the proprietress was indeed not in Ruyi Xuan at this time.

He didn't dare to ask Manager Xu what he wanted to do with the proprietress, for he was afraid that if he asked too much, it would cause unnecessary trouble for the boss and the proprietress.More importantly, even if he asked, Manager Xu might not tell him!

"Aren't you here?" Manager Xu frowned with serious thick eyebrows, and there was a bit of surprise on his square face: "Where did Miss Bao go? When will you be back?"

"Uh...I don't know." Shopkeeper Qin told the truth, he really didn't know.

"This..." Manager Xu got his answer, looked at the cherry blossom tree outside the gate of Ruyi Xuan from a distance, and asked, "Where are the flowers?"

"Flowers?" Shopkeeper Qin was a little surprised. Following Guanshi Xu's eyes, he realized that he was asking about the cherry blossom tree in front of the door.

The cherry blossom tree in front of Ruyixuan's gate bears buds before it's season, and the buds don't bloom for more than two months. This spectacle has long been known in Luohua City.But at this time, Xu Guanshi asked the boss's whereabouts in the first sentence, and immediately asked Hua in the second sentence... This question seems to be a bit jumpy, right?
Who told you to be an official and I am a citizen, I will answer whatever you ask, no matter how jumpy I am, I guarantee that I can keep up with the rhythm, and I guarantee that the attitude is correct and good!

"The flowers bloomed the night before."

"Are you sure it's in full bloom?" Manager Xu asked extremely rigorously.

"Uh... are you sure..." After being asked so strangely by Manager Xu, he began to panic again, and quickly explained: "When I was at work yesterday, I only saw a field of flower petals, and the petals have been used to make wine."

Hearing his answer, Manager Xu pondered for a while: "In that case, I will wait here for Miss Bao's return!"

After speaking, he walked to a table and sat down on his own.

"..."

Seeing that Guanshi really sat down, shopkeeper Qin hurriedly approached and said, "Miss Bao is not coming back today."

"No?" Manager Xu frowned again with his thick eyebrows.

Seeing his frown, the originally serious face became even more intimidating, which made shopkeeper Qin feel that his heart was being tightened, and thought: I don't know when and how the proprietress offended this Bodhisattva?
"Where did Miss Bao go? When will you be back?" After pondering for a moment, Manager Xu asked again.

"Uh... I don't know."

Shopkeeper Qin didn't want to answer so frankly and disappoint Guanshi so much, but he really didn't know...

Before the boss and the proprietress went out, they only said about January, and they never said where they were going.

It's almost twenty days now, and there is no news from the two of them, so how does he know when they will be able to return?

After listening to his answer, Manager Xu pondered for a while and said to him: "Then I will wait here, and you can go get busy!"

Shopkeeper Qin was a little confused.

Everyone told you that the lady boss is not here, and you don't know the date of return. Instead of leaving, you sat down instead?

But since he sat down, shopkeeper Qin couldn't drive people away, firstly because Ruyixuan was open for business, and secondly because he didn't dare to drive away the person in front of him...

"Okay! Then sit down, and I'll ask the guy to make you a pot of tea!"

Manager Xu was noncommittal about making tea, but he sat solemnly and looked at the cherry blossom tree outside the window.

……

Manager Xu has been sitting in Ruyi Xuan for nearly ten days, and every day Ruyi Xuan comes as soon as the door opens and leaves just after closing.

There is only one word for every day: wait.

This upset Shopkeeper Qin very much.

When guests enter a public place like a restaurant, what they want is the word "to have fun", to eat, drink, and chat to the fullest...

The local diners all know this unsmiling steward who works in the city lord's mansion. The common people are most afraid of dealing with the people in the government. Seeing them always seems to be three points short of their momentum.Most of the diners from other places pass by, eat in a hurry, and leave when they are finished.

For several days in a row, as long as this Bodhisattva sits here, the atmosphere in the hall will always be a little bit colder.Not only did the diners dare not yell loudly, but even the working movements of the guys became strangely gentle.

A few days passed, some diners saw that Manager Xu was sitting in the hall of Ruyixuan every day, thinking that they spent money to eat in order to feel comfortable, but now they feel restrained and gradually looked for other places.
