Inside the Four Seasons Hotel.

"By whom?" Wang Chen asked, "Xie Quan?"

Wang Yifeng said in a deep voice, "It's him." I wasn't sure before, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that my good master is playing tricks on all of this. ”

"So, the usury of the Black Snake Gang is also Xie Quan's calculation?" Wang Chen frowned.

Wang Yifeng nodded, "That's right." ”

"I didn't even think of reaching out to the Black Snake Gang, because my senior brothers and sisters had already promised me, they were different from me, they had been working in Qingfeng Restaurant for so long, they all had some family backgrounds, and it was completely fine to get together forty or fifty gold. ”

"The brothers and sisters agreed readily, and I don't doubt it. After finding a store and negotiating the rental price, the owner of the store was surprisingly negotiable and rented it to me at an unbelievable rent, but there was one requirement - the contract was ten years, and half of the rent had to be paid in one lump sum. ”

"This ......" Wang Chen's pupils shrank, and he already smelled a trace of unusualness.

"That's right, that's the first trap, and unsurprisingly, my good master prepared it for me. ”

Wang Yifeng nodded, confirming his guess.

"But I didn't think much of it at the time, after all, how could I have known it was a trap? The storefront, not only spacious, but also in a great location, was born to open a tavern. That's not all, the most important thing is that even if I have to sign a ten-year lease at once, the monthly rent is cheaper than those small and remote locations. ”

"It's pie in the sky, isn't it just going to pay five years of rent in advance?" I gritted my teeth and immediately agreed. ”

After speaking, Wang Yifeng laughed at himself, "However, how can there be a pie in the sky in this world, I thought I took a big advantage, how could I have thought that this is just the beginning." ”

"Although the monthly rent is cheap, it is not a small amount of money to pay for five years at a time. So I went to find our brothers and sisters, trying to get them to fulfill their promises, and the brothers and sisters who had promised happily before began to prevaricate with a look of embarrassment, some said that it was a little inconvenient at hand, and some said that the current cash flow was not open, so let me wait. ”

At this time, some people began to persuade me to pay in advance first, or to borrow from relatives and friends temporarily, so that I could sign this cheap contract. When they have a good turnover, they will send the money they promised to lend me to their door......"

Hearing this, Wang Chen's face had changed.

All this sounds normal, but if you speculate with a little suspicion, is all this really normal?

"It's so calculated. Wang Chen's eyebrows condensed, and when he heard this, he was basically sure that his younger brother was indeed designed.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Yifeng continue: "I agreed." No way, such an attractive storefront, such a cheap rent, I can't refuse it at all. Although the five-year rent is not a small amount, it is borrowed ...... I can barely borrow it. ”

Grudging?

Wang Chen knew that he could make his younger brother, who had always been calm, say the word 'reluctantly', but he was afraid that it would not be easy to borrow this money. Thinking about the virtue of his relatives, if you really want to go to their house to borrow money, it is estimated that it is impossible to borrow it if you don't go to them ten times or eight times, without being ridiculed and counted, and without receiving a few blank eyes.

The only one who can talk is probably their uncle, Chen Qinglin, the younger brother of the queen mother Chen Yu.

"The store is finally rented, and the next step is to decorate the interior. This time, instead of calling someone to start construction immediately, I went to Qingfeng Restaurant first, hoping that my brothers and sisters would fulfill their promises, but I was told...... I can't borrow it. Wang Yifeng said.

Wang Chen's face sank, and he said secretly: Sure enough.

"I won't talk about the reason, in short, it's all kinds of hypocrisy, no matter what you say, it's one sentence: money, you can't borrow it. ”

Wang Yifeng took a deep breath and said, "In fact, at this time, I already feel that I have been tricked, but I haven't thought of my good master yet. I can't keep my promises, I can't borrow the money I promised, but the tavern still has to open, and where will the money come from to decorate the storefront and prepare all kinds of things? ”

"It's impossible for relatives and friends to borrow anymore, even if my uncle can't come up with the money after paying the rent for me once. Just when I was at a loss, a man claiming to be an 'investor' came to my door. ”

Wang Chen's expression moved, "The people of the Black Snake Gang?!"

Wang Yifeng nodded, "That's right, the people of the Black Snake Gang." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yifeng paused, calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, and then let out a sigh and said, "I guess my good master knew my thoughts a long time ago. From the moment I resigned and walked out of Qingfeng Restaurant, I fell into his calculations, step by step, it was all his chess!"

"Whether it is the promise of the senior brothers and sisters, or the change of hexagrams, it is all the instruction of that person. And that shop, not surprisingly, along with the shopkeeper, I'm afraid they are all my master's people. He pushed me with his hand, a radish in one hand and a big stick in the other, so that I could only move forward step by step, and when the Black Snake gang appeared, I thought it was too late to turn back. ”

Wang Yifeng sighed, "Actually, I'm thinking that the people of the Black Snake Gang who appeared last were probably all instructed by my master." After all, the appearance of that person was too coincidental, and the conditions he proposed at the beginning were all things I couldn't refuse, one hundred and five interest a month, and allowed to start repaying after three months, although the identity of that person's Black Snake Gang made me a little scared, but everything in the tavern was already on the line, and if I didn't agree, I had to agree. ”

"5% interest, 3 months repayment?"

Looking at his younger brother, Wang Chen didn't know what to say, "You can also believe this? The money of the Black Snake Gang, that's usury! Have you ever heard of this kind of usury like doing good deeds?!"

Wang Yifeng blushed, "That...... The man explained, saying that it was because I was a senior apprentice of Xie Da, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant, and he was very optimistic about me, so he was willing to give such preferential treatment. And I've heard that although the Black Snake Gang does all kinds of evil, they abide by the rules of their gang and owe them money, as long as they pay it back according to the agreement, they won't come to harass you again......"

"But you haven't. Wang Chen interrupted.

Wang Yifeng was silent. Next to her, the queen mother Chen Yu said distressedly: "Chen'er, don't blame your brother, he was also deceived by Xie Quan's old fox." One hundred draws five, and the interest rate for one month at the end of the month is only two gold and fifty silver, but you have also seen it before, as soon as those few Black Snake Gang opened their mouths, they directly increased the interest tenfold, and since your brother got the money, less than five days have passed, and less than five days have passed to force debts, to drive our mother and son to a dead end, this is obvious, and it is a conspiracy designed by Xie Quan. ”

"That old fox has exhausted all his tricks, step by step, how can Feng'er anticipate it in advance, and how can he be his opponent. ”

"Thank you......"

Wang Chen's expression was cold.
