Chapter 717 There Are Still Old Accounts
That day, the well-traveled woman checked into the inn. At night, feeling bored, she went down to the lobby, ordered some food and drinks, and chatted with the shopkeeper.
Everyone is a shopkeeper, so no one can deceive anyone. Once the conversation started, the conversation became more and more open. The woman asserted that Wang Qilang's Baolaiju Inn would definitely close down after only five years of operation. The name was too vulgar.
Wang Qilang sneered at that time and defended: "Women's opinions, arrogant women, you know nothing. The 'leopard' that I live in is the leopard of the golden leopard."
Hearing someone questioning herself, the woman slapped the table and couldn't bear it anymore, so she told her business experience one by one.
At first Wang Qilang didn't care at all, he was sure that his leopard would be no worse than those dragons and phoenixes. But as I listened and paused, I heard the woman say a lot. The inn was on the verge of closing due to various poor management. It's all true, it makes sense, it's not nonsense.
It can be seen that the woman did have business experience, so she gradually accepted her opinion and asked how to change the name of the inn. At that time, the woman said: "The inn is about one word: domineering without losing sovereignty! As long as you do this well, you won't have to worry about not having guests!" At this point, the woman was heartbroken and wiped away the tears, as if thinking of herself. The inn gradually fell into desolation, and it was all due to the fact that the name was not chosen at the beginning.
At that time, Wang Qilang muttered silently: "Domineering without losing sovereignty? One word?" Silently counting, it was clearly seven words. There was a thought in my heart, and I felt that this woman was not good at arithmetic, so I planned to charge her more money later.
The woman asked the shopkeeper for his name. When she heard the word "Wang Qilang", she slapped the table and said, "That's it, change Bao Laiju to Wang Qilang. You will be able to thank me in the future!"
Wang Qilang was also shocked by the momentum. He nodded and bowed like a waiter in a shop, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I will change it tomorrow, I will change it tomorrow."
The next day, when I took down the plaque that said Bao Laiju Inn and hung it up as "Wang Qilang Inn", I suddenly came back to my senses and thought about my own inn. Why should I listen to the opinions of outsiders? Just change it if she says so?
But the plaque had already been hung up, so I was too lazy to bother with it, so I made mistakes. In the past few months, I saw that business was getting better.
Hearing the story of shopkeeper Wang Qilang, Li Changxiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he was naturally ready to reveal who the woman's true identity was. It must be Mei Sanniang passing by here.
Immediately I felt dumbfounded again. Mei Sanniang is very good at cultivating Taoism, but she is not very good at running an inn. The Laiwang Inn was on the verge of bankruptcy several times under her control. I remember the first time I stayed at the Laiwang Inn. It seemed that due to poor management, the second boss, Guan Bai, the cook, and Li Changxiao had to go out at night. , receive some extra money to subsidize the family.
Needless to say, although the inn is not well managed, it is due to geographical location. But Mei Sanniang, the decision-maker and dictatorial monarch, is really to blame. Li Changxiao and the cook often used this point to attack Mei Sanniang and force her to abdicate her throne. However, when the two of them work together, they are no match for Mei Sanniang, and they are always violently suppressed. Mei Sanniang especially loved to catch Li Changxiao and beat him.
In her words, beating a handsome person makes you feel more comfortable. For a time, it was Li Changxiao who suffered from physical pain, and the cook who suffered from mental trauma.
It can be seen that this Mei Sanniang is extremely vicious. Li Changxiao smiled slightly, and thought again, Wang Qilang was also lucky. He listened to Mei Sanniang's slander, but accidentally got into business for him.
Li Changxiao ordered three pounds of beef and two pounds of wine. Invite the shopkeeper Wang Qilang to sit and drink together, chatting about running the inn and about the "wonderful woman". Wang Qilang saw that the night was getting darker. At this hour in the past, there were almost no visitors, and there were guests treating him. All the money could be counted on his head, and he would not eat anything. So he agreed readily and unceremoniously.
Wang Qilang sat down and said: "My guest, let me ask you, you handsome people, are you very cheerful and cheerful?" Li Chang smiled and was surprised, and asked Wang Qilang why he said this. Looking at each person's personality and experience, what does it have to do with appearance?
Wang Qilang explained that he had been running the inn for a long time, but there were only two guests who had the time to chat with him, sit down to drink and eat together. One is the strange woman from before. The other one is Li Changxiao who came today.
It just so happened that both of them were so handsome, so Wang Qilang thought about it in his own way, if I had such an appearance, I would be looking for people to talk to and be nice to, otherwise wouldn't I be blind in vain? It was exactly when I thought of this that I asked the question before.
Li Changxiao laughed and said, in his opinion, being handsome is good, but being too handsome is too much. The corner of Wang Qilang's mouth twitched, and he almost wanted to smash this shameless man to death with a wine bottle.
Wang Qilang sighed: "Tell the truth. When that strange woman came to the inn, I saw that she was dusty but beautiful. I actually secretly had some thoughts and wanted to take her as my wife." Li Changxiao let out a chuckle and laughed. non-stop. Wang Qilang said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I don't know what I can do, but it hurts people's self-esteem if you laugh at people like this."
Li Chang smiled and said, "I'm not looking down on you, but I'm thinking that if you marry that kind of woman and squander all your family property, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future."
As he said that, he remembered that Mei Sanniang owed a huge debt in Wanshi Villa. As the saying goes, a woman's debt must be paid by her husband, doesn't that mean that Wang Qilang has to travel thousands of miles to write that troublesome book?
Li Changxiao looked Wang Qilang up and down. Although he was tall, he was probably too tall. He took a sip of wine and said casually: "Her character is destined to be conquered by no one."
Wang Qilang agreed deeply: "Indeed, such high-ranking people are not something that ordinary people like us can get involved in." Li Changxiao asked: "High-ranking?" Wang Qilang: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, that strange woman later became the king for a period of time."
Li Changxiao choked on the wine and said with a teasing look: "King? Are you sure?" Wang Qilang said: "How can this be false? I see that you are from another place, and you may not know that women have always been in power in Ximi Kingdom."
Wang Qilang suddenly thought of something and asked: "Brother, I see that you are from another place, and you seem to be familiar with that woman in your words and deeds? Do you know each other?" Li Changxiao thought that since Mei Sanniang became the king, it should be a positive image. If he admitted it himself, there should be no big problem, so he smiled lightly and said: "I do know her."
Wang Qilang's eyes were immediately filled with tears and he hugged Li Changxiao's thigh. Li Changxiao was just about to say something to comfort him, telling him not to blindly worship him, but he heard Wang Qilang say, "Thank goodness, God has opened his eyes. Someone has finally paid off this old debt. Woo woo woo."
