Chapter 174: Good Partner
Lying on a simple rattan chair, wrapped in white cloth, looking no different from a mummy, Old Zhang was filled with despair and despair.
He never imagined that the seemingly kind and beautiful Fang Niangzi would be such a vicious and venomous person.
Not only did she demand payment for her own medical expenses, but she also went so far as to cut his toe with a knife, all for the sake of signing a document...
Old Zhang, his head wrapped in a cloth with only his eyes showing, stared wide-eyed in terror at the person in front of him.
Fang Xiao held a small knife in her small hand, and her technique was very skillful. It seemed that she had cut many people's fingers and toes to bleed them.
That's normal, after all, she graduated from medical school and has some knowledge of surgery. While she may not be at the top level in the country, she is certainly one of the best in major hospitals.
After a series of steps, the signature was finally drawn.
She looked at the IOU in her hand, a satisfied expression on her face.
"That's right, we open our doors to do business precisely so that we don't lose money."
That's what she said, but in reality, she charged Old Zhang an exorbitant medical bill.
You should know that in a typical case like Old Zhang's, the treatment cost would only be two taels of silver.
She multiplied her profits tenfold, which is equivalent to Old Zhang not eating or drinking, but selling a hundred bowls of plain noodles every day, and it would take him a year to earn that much.
The key premise is that it must be sold at ten coins a bowl, and people must keep working.
In such a situation, even a robot would probably be thoroughly thrashed.
Holding the IOU, she bent down to look at Old Zhang, her eyes filled with concern.
“Old Zhang, you don’t need to worry about medical treatment or repaying the money.”
"I have the heart of a bodhisattva, we'll pay you back slowly."
"..."
"Woooooooo..."
Old Zhang wanted to speak, but found his mouth covered with a white cloth strip, so he could only whimper.
He stared at the IOU that said twenty taels of silver, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Having lived most of his life, this has not only wiped him out of his life, but he'll probably have to work hard to make money for the rest of his life!
Old Zhang wanted to resist, but his body was wrapped up like a mummy.
Seeing his excitement, Fang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and teased him.
"Hey, we're practically acquaintances, no need to get so excited, and don't think about thanking me."
"I know your plain noodle stall doesn't make much money. How about this, you can come work at my shop from now on. I'll only pay you one tael of silver a month!"
"!!!"
Old Zhang had initially wanted to refuse, but when he heard that it would cost one tael of silver a month, he instantly burst into tears. If his health hadn't prevented it, he probably would have kowtowed to Fang Xiaoxiao.
People say that if you meet a good boss, you'll never have to worry about making a living again!
And that's exactly what happened to him.
……
Russian qing.
After arranging things for Old Zhang, Fang Xiaoxiao gave instructions to the shop assistants about their work for the next few days.
The most important and crucial aspect, of course, is the promotion of women's products such as lipsticks and sanitary napkins.
Because Old Zhang made a good start, their subsequent work went very smoothly.
All you need to do is open the door early every day, greet customers, collect deposits, and inform them when to pick up their items.
Before long, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
Old Zhang the mummy has fully recovered and can now eat and run around all day, and he is very dedicated to his work.
Standing in front of the cashier, watching Zhou Wenjian calculate the bill, Fang Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with Old Zhang.
Old Zhang is not only eloquent, but also incredibly shameless. He'll stop at nothing to lure customers into his shop.
For example, he had just met a woman who was of average appearance and figure, but whose speech was extremely annoying.
As soon as the woman saw Old Zhang approaching to chat, she started cursing him, even going so far as to insult his ancestors for eighteen generations.
But Old Zhang didn't think anything of it; he even joined the woman in cursing and swearing at their ancestors for eighteen generations.
This kind of person completely baffled the woman. In the end, she felt very embarrassed and went with Old Zhang to the shop to order all the new products that were about to be put on the shelves.
Fang Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with Old Zhang's diligent and hardworking appearance, and smiled as she spoke to Zhou Wenjian beside her.
"Wenjian, I must say, this old Zhang is quite capable; he's much better than the other guys in our shop."
"Indeed, my lady has an excellent eye; she discovered such a rare talent at a glance. I am truly impressed..."
"Alright, alright, where did you learn this flattery from? It's making me very uncomfortable!"
"This……"
Zhou Wenjian was a little embarrassed to say it aloud.
"Alright, you just learned that from that old Zhang guy, what don't I know about you!"
Fang Xiao smiled.
During this time, she not only observed Old Zhang's behavior, but also his interactions with others.
It must be said that Old Zhang is a real talent. He not only got along well with the shop assistants, but also taught them a lot of sales skills.
Just in time.
Old Zhang suddenly rushed into the shop in a panic.
He was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with terror, as if he had survived a catastrophe.
"Help! Help, my wife, come quickly and save him!"
Old Zhang spoke tremblingly as he quickly walked toward the counter.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately went around the counter and came to him.
"What happened? Are you hurt?"
"No, it wasn't me, the old man."
"That is?"
"Oh dear, my wife, come with me outside and take a look!"
Old Zhang eagerly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her towards the shop exit.
At this moment, a crowd of people was gathered outside the store.
Their faces were filled with terror, as if they had witnessed something extremely horrific.
Fang Xiaoxiao, who had been pulled out of the shop by Old Zhang, had just stepped outside the crowd when she heard a sobbing sound.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
"I've brought Madam Fang with me. All of you, get out of the way, clear the way!"
Old Zhang reached out and shoved his way through the crowd, desperately trying to squeeze into it.
His arrival prompted everyone to quickly make way for him.
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly squeezed into the middle of the crowd.
When she finally managed to squeeze in, the scene before her eyes surprised her.
There was a little girl lying in front of me.
She was covered in blood, and an arrow was stuck in her right chest.
The arrow pierced through the girl's chest and went all the way down her back; it looked particularly frightening.
Next to the girl sat a young woman, about twenty years old, with an average appearance, dressed in coarse linen clothes.
The woman's face was covered in tears, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she were being shaken.
She was crying her heart out, her sobs coming out in fits and starts due to her extreme tension and fear.
“Nai, nai…”
