Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 122 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

When Yan Song heard his brother-in-law say that someone came to the furniture store to cause trouble, he was a little skeptical. He thought his brother-in-law was worldly-wise and thought that any random person was powerful and could not be offended.

He was different. He had seen the world with Wei Qian'an, so Yan Song was relaxed before entering the door. But when he saw Wei Qian'an, his heart sank.

"Mr. Wei, how come you have time to come for inspection today? Why don't you tell me in advance so that I can prepare to entertain you in advance?" Yan Song looked respectful, and the clerk next to him was stunned.

The clerk asked in confusion, "Inspection? Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? How could an outsider like him come to your store..."

"Shut up!" Yan Song glared at the clerk. What an idiot! Didn't he see how he was acting? He didn't even show any respect.

The clerk retreated behind Yan Song with a look of grievance. He really couldn't understand what he had said wrong to be scolded by his brother-in-law.

Wei Qi'an's face was cold, he looked at Yan Song with a half-smile, and said sarcastically, "If I had said it in advance, would we still be able to see this wonderful show?"

"How come I don't know? When did this become your store?"

When Wei Qi'an first received Ye Ke's call, he thought it was Yan Song's fault for not supervising the store and hiring a clerk with bad behavior. But then he realized, wow, this was a direct usurpation of power.

The clerk was surprised and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, this is not your store?"

"Shut up!" Yan Song growled, his tone filled with obvious anxiety and helplessness.

I used to think that my brother-in-law was just a little lazy, but today I realized that he is actually so stupid!

Yan Song looked at Wei Qian'an and explained anxiously: "Boss Wei, it's because I didn't provide adequate training for my employees that he misunderstood. I..."

Wei Qi'an reached down and pressed down, interrupting him. "How could these polite words deceive me?" Seeing this scene, even a fool could guess the reason.

Wei Qi'an asked coldly, "Where is the original female clerk, Xiao Su?"

He recruited Xiao Su personally. He was very decent in dealing with people. Compared with the current idiot, he was a thousand times better.

Yan Song's face was sweating from nervousness. He wiped it with his hand and replied, "Xiao Su had some family matters, so he resigned. I couldn't find anyone else temporarily, so I asked my brother-in-law to take over the job."

She was just a female clerk. He thought Wei Qianan wouldn't care too much about such trivial matters. Even if he lied, as long as he acted naturally enough, Wei Qianan wouldn't notice. He could just get away with it for now.

But Wei Qi'an was a man who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He stared at Yan Song coldly and said, "Really? Then I'll go ask other stores and find out when Xiao Su left."

Wei Qianan said this and was about to turn around and walk out.

Yan Song, a liar, naturally felt guilty. He quickly ran up to him and tried to stop him, but when he met Wei Qi'an's warning gaze, he put his hand down awkwardly and explained carefully, "Boss Wei, Xiao Su...Xiao Su has been away for a while. I did have some selfish motives, so I asked my brother-in-law to take over. I didn't expect her to be so useless. But don't worry, I'll fire her right away and find someone else."

The brother-in-law didn't explain clearly on the phone, only saying that someone came to the store to see him. When he arrived at the scene, he could probably guess that his brother-in-law had offended Wei Qian'an. Although he didn't know how he offended him, it was always right to admit his mistake first.

Wei Qi'an rubbed his brows. He was already tired after a busy day, and now he was even more irritable. He cut the Gordian knot and said, "Okay, then fire him."

The clerk was not in the right but was confident. He was about to ask why, but Yan Song glared at him as a warning.

When he turned to look at Wei Qi'an, a smile appeared on his face. He thought he had escaped a disaster. Before he could say anything, he heard Wei Qi'an say, "Bring me the store's account book."

Yan Song's smile froze. Wouldn't it be completely exposed if she looked at the bill? But Wei Qi'an was right in front of her, and she couldn't find an excuse to prevent her boss from looking at her account book.

Yan Song turned around, walked to the counter with a sullen face, and flipped through a pile of documents as slowly as a sloth.

Wei Qi'an saw his little intention of escaping and strode over. Yan Song then quickened his pace, took out the account book and held it in front of Wei Qi'an: "Boss Wei, this is the account book."

Wei Qi'an took it and flipped through it casually, then asked with a smile, "Yan Song, do you want to go to jail?"

Wei Qi'an felt like the man in front of him was simply playing him for a fool. How could he not see through such an obviously fake account book?!

Yan Song's back was covered in cold sweat, and he collapsed to the ground, hugging Wei Qi'an's legs and begging, "Boss Wei, I've been with you for so long, Boss Wei."

He did not mention the mistakes he had made at all, but only emphasized the many years of friendship between him and Wei Qian'an.

Wei Qi'an patted Yan Song's head with the account book. His voice was low, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. "You also know that you have been with me for so long? You have been by my side since the start of this store. Otherwise, how could I trust you to leave it to you?"

"But what about you? Is this how you repay me?"

There was obvious disappointment in Wei Qian'an's tone. All his previous businesses were small-scale. Although they had many names, he was fully capable of handling them all. Perhaps it was because he did not let go that the little thoughts of his subordinates were never revealed.

Wei Qi'an knew that profit could motivate people, and it was normal for some people to be unable to withstand the test. But how long had it been? He hadn't been in charge for only a few months, right?

Yan Song didn't know if he was truly repentant or just putting on an act. He cried with tears streaming down his face, "Boss Wei, I've been possessed by the devil. Please forgive me for the sake of my past help."

Wei Qian'an closed his eyes tightly and let out a breath slowly after a long time. Yan Song had indeed helped him, so when he opened this furniture store, he pulled Yan Song, who knew nothing, to teach him step by step, and even gave him power directly when he was too busy.

"Just make up the shortfall in your account and leave."

He didn't pursue anything else.

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, thinking of such a large sum of money. If he had to pay it back, wouldn't all his hard work over the past few months have been in vain? He tried to struggle and beg for mercy, "Boss Wei, I..."

Wei Qi'an said coldly, "You can choose between paying the debt or going to jail."

The two had known each other for so long that Yan Song could hear the firmness in his tone that could not be refused.

Yan Song released his hands from hugging his legs, lowered his head and whispered, "Okay, I'll make up the debt."

Wei Qi'an added mercilessly, "Get the money and account books ready. I'll have someone come over to take over tomorrow."

Yan Song seemed to have accepted his fate at this time, and he agreed to everything Wei Qian'an said.

After Yan Song and the clerk left, Wei Qian turned his head to look at Ye Ke and the other person who were lying on the back of the sofa watching the show.
