Chapter 346: Official Confrontation

Physician Fu also recognized him. He was extremely surprised. “Manager Sun?”
Physician Fu had seen Manager Sun a few times in town and knew that this person was originally the shopkeeper of Jin Ji. Later on, he was fired by Jin Ji and became the shopkeeper of Su Ji.
Wasn’t he in town taking care of Su Ji?
Why did he come all the way to the capital?
After not seeing him for a few months, Manager Sun had still changed a little. It was obvious that the middle-aged man’s stomach was gone. Although he looked a little tired, he looked more energetic.
Manager Sun carried a bag and walked into the house with a smile. He cupped his hands at Physician Fu. “Doctor Fu, long time no see. How have you been?” “How have you been?” Physician Fu was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Manager Sun, who had appeared out of thin air. ‘Why are you here?” Manager Sun said in a tone, “Why? Am I not welcome?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Well… let me think.”
Manager Sun’s face darkened.
Little Weizi was a smart little medicine boy. He could tell that both parties knew each other and quickly went forward to take the other party’s bag. “It’s been hard on you since you came from afar. Give me the bag.”
Manager Sun glanced at him and handed him the bag. “Yo, young man, not
bad. ”
Little Weizi chuckled.
Manager Sun looked around. “A new medical center? Not bad. It’s even bigger than Su Ji.”
“Let’s talk upstairs,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Manager Sun followed.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Physician Fu, “Master, come here too.” Physician Fu followed the two of them upstairs.
The three of them sat down in the accounting room.
Du Juan and Ying’er served tea and snacks.
Manager Sun was surprised again. “Yo, you even hired maidservants?”
Su Xiaoxiao corrected him. “They’re not maidservants. They’re medicinal a.s.sistants or medicine girls.”
“Female medicinal a.s.sistant?” Manager Sun glanced at the two of them thoughtfully. “Interesting.”
“Don’t scare my medicine girls,” Su Xiaoxiao said protectively.
Manager Sun’s face darkened again.
Du Juan and Ying’er held back their laughter and went downstairs.
Manager Sun gulped down a few large cups of tea and finally recovered.
He told her the reason why he came to the capital. “…Jin Ji has completely courted death. Su Ji’s business is thriving. There’s nothing for me to worry about. I’ve decided to put aside my achievements and reputation and come to the capital to continue helping you.”
Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “You actually couldn’t get along with
Yuniang, right?”
Manager Sun choked. “What nonsense are you talking about!”
To be honest, it was not that they could not get along, but the two of them had different opinions on many issues. Moreover, the two of them had strong personalities.
Su Yuniang was as strong as Su Xiaoxiao, but she did not have Su Xiaoxiao’s strong fists to protect her. In that case… Manager Sun was more or less unconvinced.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely. “So you deserve a beating?”
“Cough, cough, cough! How, how, how, how, how can you speak like this?” Manager Sun cleared his throat and said seriously, “The common saying is right. A mountain can’t tolerate two tigers unless it’s a male and a female!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Aren’t the two of you a male and a female?”
Manager Sun was speechless.
Manager Sun and Su Yuniang did have some disagreements, but this was not the main reason why he came to the capital.
He and Su Yuniang were both people who could take charge. It was enough for Su Ji to have one of them.
On the other hand, Su Xiaoxiao might need someone more.
Su Yuniang’s daughter was still young. She could not travel far, so Manager Sun was the one who came.
On this matter, the two of them had surprisingly unanimous opinions.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I replied to your letter and Yuniang’s.”
Manager Sun waved his hand. “It’s fine. Yuniang will send it to me when she receives it.”
Far away in Apricot Flower Town, Su Yuniang thought, Heh, what nonsense!
Manager Sun continued, “I’ve said enough. Let’s talk about you. How have you been since you came to the capital? You’ve lost so much weight. I almost didn’t dare to acknowledge you just now.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s current weight was only more than 130 catties. Compared to those daughters who cherished their thinness, she was still considered a little fatty. However, as long as one had seen her weigh 200 catties, one could understand that she had completely changed.
Her appearance was also much more exquisite, so Manager Sun did not evaluate her.
“We… are alright,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Manager Sun wouldn’t allow her to patronize him like this.
Manager Sun stopped asking her and asked Physician Fu.
Physician Fu cherished his words more than Su Xiaoxiao. “We’re indeed alright.’
Manager Sun thought that it was no wonder he couldn’t cause trouble!
Su Xiaoxiao and Physician Fu were not people who could chat with others. Manager Sun was Buddhist. He would ask Ergou later.
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Speaking of which, since you didn’t receive my letter, how did you know I was here?”
Manager Sun said, “I know that you’re a doctor in the Marquis of Zhenbei’s
Estate. I got someone to ask about the whereabouts of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate. I was just asking when I heard that a medical center was opened here and they fought with the Benevolence Hall for business. In the end, they were dealt with miserably by the Benevolence Hall.”
Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “You added the last two sentences yourself, right?”
“Ahem!” Manager Sun said seriously, “Anyway, I’m not wrong.”
Physician Fu said guiltily, “It was my fault.”
Manager Sun hurriedly said, “Don’t take it to heart. I don’t mean to blame you! You’re a doctor who treats people seriously. How can you beat those who play dirty tricks? Alright, leave these messy things to me in the future. No matter what kind of monster the Benevolence Hall is, in my hands, there’s only one path—death!”
At Benevolence Hall, Second Master Hu was sitting in the accountant’s office drinking tea.
At the side, Shopkeeper Wu chuckled and said, “Boss, I went to take a look just now. All the customers in the first hall have left! If this continues, they will close in a few days!”
Second Master Hu took a sip of tea in satisfaction. “You did well.”
Shopkeeper Wu hesitated and said, “However… I heard that the little girl from the first hall is a little related to the Wei family?”
Second Master Hu snorted coldly. “No, Big Brother got someone to ask around. The Wei family doesn’t have a fat maidservant. Hui’er must have made a mistake. That girl has nothing to do with Wei Ting.”
Manager Wu smiled and said, “In that case, I’m relieved.”
Second Master Hu said calmly, “That girl has some ties with the Qin family. She’s the granddaughter of the old Protector Duke.”
“What?” Manager Wu was shocked.
Second Master Hu said, “Look at how frightened you are. The old Protector Duke is already old and doesn’t have many years left. His Majesty asked his son to compete fairly with Qin Jiang for military power. His son grew up among the commoners. How can he be Qin Jiang’s match? My niece is on good terms with Qin Jiang’s daughter. In the future, we’ll be in the same boat.”
Shopkeeper Wu relaxed.
Second Master Hu said calmly, “There’s no need to be afraid of a countryside girl. What methods do you have? Just use them and don’t kill anyone.”
Manager Wu said confidently, “Don’t worry, Boss. I know my limits.”
Second Master Hu said coldly, “This time, we originally planned to buy the He family’s shop at a low price. Unexpectedly, the Number One Hall appeared halfway!”
Manager Wu smiled and said, “They can only blame themselves for overestimating themselves. They even dared to s.n.a.t.c.h the Hu family’s business.. When they can’t run it like the He family, we’ll lower the price and buy it!”
