Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Chapter 723: Champagne House Crisis

Because of Banggeng's long face, Shazhu's family had a peaceful life for a while.

Sha Zhu wanted to use Bang Geng's money to pay off his debt first, but was rejected by Qin Huairu.

After all, it was the child's hard-earned money. She felt very uncomfortable that she couldn't help, but she couldn't be a stumbling block.

Banggeng has already tasted the sweetness in this matter, so why shouldn’t Xu Damao do the same!

Although the risks are shared, this is definitely the fastest way to make money.

The middleman just takes advantage of the situation and makes money by reselling the goods.

In order to have a prosperous new year, Banggeng and Xu Damao coincidentally come up with the idea of ​​studying big business together.

Once you taste the sweetness of this business, you can't stop.

"General Manager, General Manager..."

"What are you yelling about? Is that Long-faced guy here again? Why are you so anxious? Isn't there a notice on the door that says dogs and Xu Damao are not allowed to enter?"

It was lunchtime, and Xiao Weiguo was eating in his office while admiring the newly minted silver dollars.

In fact, it was not considered an antique in the 1980s and was worth a few hundred dollars at most.

For example, Yuan Datou and Beiyang coins were not worth much money.

But the coin he collected was particularly special. There was a line of letters in the lower right corner. He found it in a box of Yuan Datou coins.

Those English letters in the lower right corner are really the abbreviation of George Rourke. If it were placed in later generations, it would be at least 30 million, and at most 60 million.

It must be a huge sum of eight figures. The more Xiao Weiguo thought about it, the more excited he became. However, Wang Shurong disturbed his interest.

At the door, Wang Shurong leaned against the office door and panted heavily, "General Manager, it's bad, something happened!"

"What's the big deal? Someone died?"

Xiao Weiguo asked casually, but it scared Wang Shurong to death.

Why are you talking about death for no reason? Who wouldn't be scared?

"General Manager, please stop joking. Something seems to have happened at the Champagne Building across the street!"

"Champagne House? What can I say about you? Hey, why don't you go and work there? I'm familiar with Lou Xiao'e, and you can go straight to work there."

Xiao Weiguo was still joking, his eyes fixed on the Yuan Datou in his hand without moving.

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Wang Shurong simply explained the situation directly, "General Manager, something must have happened over there. Someone was just carried out of the store horizontally, and not long after, there was a commotion at the door. I think someone might have died."

"Human life?"

Hearing that the matter was so serious, Xiao Weiguo stood up and glanced out the window.

It was exactly the same. There were quite a few people gathered at the door, and there were also police officers in uniform.

"Well, it looks like something really happened! Call Dachengzi back and have him look after the store during the day for the next few days. Don't go out to do odd jobs!"

Wang Shurong nodded silently, "Okay, I understand! I'll send someone to find him right away. But the other side..."

"Do you really want to go across the street?"

Xiao Weiguo has never liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Either it is none of his business or he just doesn't want to worry about it.

According to current thinking, if you want to live two more years, you should worry less, because worrying will make you die faster.

"No, no! You misunderstood. I'll go find Dachengzi and come back. It's okay. Go ahead!"

As she spoke, Wang Shurong made a please gesture, implying that Xiao Weiguo should continue to look at the goods and not bother with her.

Xiao Weiguo glanced at him helplessly, "You really don't care about anything else, but...if there is a murder case on the other side, my business will be affected to some extent."

"Not yet, let's go and take a look!"

Xiao Weiguo talked to himself for a long time, reluctantly put the Yuan Datou into the safe, and then went to watch the fun across the street.

Logically speaking, the two restaurants have formed a good healthy competitive relationship and have been living in peace for many days without causing trouble for each other. This is the most reasonable way of symbiosis.

However, something went wrong on the other side, catching him off guard.

As soon as he walked out the door, he heard people talking on the other side, and saw more and more people gathering...

"What's going on in there? The front is so low that I can't see it!"

"You are not even as tall as three pieces of tofu. You can't catch up even if you want to watch the fun. Wait at the back..."

"Hey, who's talking in the front? If you have the guts, stand up!"

The police were still handling the case inside, but the people outside who were watching the fun started arguing.

The crowd watching on the side cast contemptuous glances at the two of them. Want to quarrel? Haven't quarreled enough?

Or how about going to the police station and arguing face to face?

"Okay, everyone is here to watch the fun, so stop fantasizing and complaining!"

"I heard that someone was eating lunch this afternoon when he suddenly died with foam coming out of his mouth..."

"Yeah, it's just like what I heard! It seems to be true!"

"Foaming at the mouth? Did he eat something poisoned? Poisoned to death?"

"This Champagne House is so evil, who would dare to eat here in the future?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those watching on the sidelines nodded in agreement.

When Xiao Weiguo saw this situation, he was worried for Lou Xiao'e. Isn't this the power of public opinion and reputation?

It is difficult to praise someone successfully, but it is as easy to destroy someone as to turn into ashes.

The Chaoyang masses were particularly powerful. I don’t know how many versions of the story there were. Death by poisoning, homicide, or worry…

Anyway, someone died in the Champagne Building, so no one dares to go there for dinner anymore.

"Comrade Public Security, how long will it take to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

"Ms. Lou, this matter cannot be explained in a short time. We need to continue investigating. As the general manager of the restaurant, you are naturally obliged to cooperate with us when we go back to investigate!"

"Go back and investigate?"

When she heard that she was going to be taken away, Lou Xiao'e was shocked. She had already repeated what happened in the store several times. Why did she still need to go to the police station to explain the situation?

Although the result is the same, he will definitely be released in two days after his suspicion is cleared, but once he goes in, the outcome will be completely different!

Even if there is nothing wrong with you, you will still get into trouble and you won't be able to explain yourself under the spit of everyone!

"Comrade Public Security, I have said everything I should and shouldn't say. Can you please not take me with you? Otherwise, this will be a complete mess!"

Lou Xiao'e stamped her feet anxiously and wanted to give a thorough explanation. It would be best if she could minimize the losses.

But in order to solve the case, the public security comrades cannot give up easily, and everything must be done according to the procedure.

"Comrade Lou Xiao'e, this is not comradeship, this is a decision! Please come with us later. Once the matter is investigated clearly, we will naturally release you."

The police's impartiality completely cut off Lou Xiaoe's request, "Comrade Public Security..."

The public security comrades handling the case ignored him completely. Instead, they waved their hands at him, suggesting that he stop talking and leave immediately. They should cooperate with the investigation as soon as possible so that they could clear his name.

"Chairman, what should we do? The restaurant can't live without you!"

The front office manager held Lou Xiao'e's hand and didn't want him to leave. He stamped his feet anxiously. Here, Lou Xiao'e was not only his backbone, but also the backbone of the entire restaurant.

Now he was taken away by Shui Lingling and was forced to accept investigation. Anyone would feel nervous.
