7 Meng Kitchenware (2/2)
Hearing this, Wang Ming was euphoric. He didn't know why he was so lucky today. To meeting Sister Lin and getting her help, a free taxi ride and now getting all the items for free too. Though of course, he didn't forget the fight with Brother Hou's thugs. Which made this even sweeter, since he now only needed a couple of hundred yuan to move out from FanLang street, So he hurriedly signed his name and number on the sheet of paper he got. Which for some strange reason was empty but he didn't really care, and then thanked miss Ming and hurriedly walked out of the store with his items, and onto the food market.
As soon as Wang Ming walked out of the store, Ming Ming decided to go to manager Li and tell him about what had happened. But before she could, she heard a cough behind her. Startling her, she turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing there. The man had a crooked and lecherous smile, a big and round belly. He was around 1,65 meters tall with a beer belly, clearly, from all the alcohol he drinks when he associates with clients. ”I saw on the camera that you didn't take any payment from the man.
If you don't have a good explanation for this, then I have to fire you unless.” As he said it, he winked at Ming Ming. Zhang Zhou had been shop manager for Meng Kitchenware for over ten years now. He had seen multiple cases like this already, most likely the guy that walked out was an accomplice of Ming Ming in a plan to steal from the shop. And in all the cases he had let them take the merchandise then using it to blackmail them. He wouldn't r**e anybody but, if they had done something wrong, he wouldn't mind taking advantage.
”He had a VIP card Manager Zhang, so I decided to give him the items for free since it only was roughly 1000 yuan. If you don't, believe me, you can call Young Master Meng about Wang Ming. If he was a fake VIP, I will pay back our losses but don't accuse me of stealing!” Ming Ming felt outraged she knew that Manager Zhang was lecherous but didn't think that he would use this to coerce her to have sex with him. She had worked here for many years already, so she had heard of some of these stories before. Where Manager Zhang would coerce them to have sex with him, but she thought it was just an exaggeration. She hoped that Wang Ming really knew Meng Hao else she would have to quit this job.
”He was a VIP? Stop your lies now, and maybe we can discuss your punishment. If you keep on with this then after I call Young Master Meng, there's no way back.” He was a VIP who are you kidding. Does she think I'm three years old? Thought Zhang Zhou. ”I'm sure! Just call him.” She was already aboard so her only option was to keep going.
Seeing that she was so sure Zhang Zhou started to doubt himself a bit, but after thinking through, there was no chance that the poor looking guy was a VIP. All the VIPs he knew about were all established, businesspeople. He then took out his phone and decided to call Young Master Meng.
Meng Hao was finally done with the opening ceremony to his guard company. Suddenly received a call, he looked at the caller ID and saw Manager Zhang. Feeling confused about why a manager from one of his father's stores would call him, but decided to take the call since it could be important. ”Hello, this is Meng Hao. Why are you calling Manager Zhang?”
”Hello Young Master Meng, this is Manager Zhang. I'm so sorry to disturb you. It's just a small case. One of the employees from my store called Ming Ming. Said there was a VIP with your card that came to our shop, so she gave him all the items to him free of charge. But he was a poor-looking guy, that didn't seem to be in the business field. And he only bought items for around 1000 yuan. Which doesn't make sense at all? Do you know of a person like this?” Suddenly bombarded with so many questions, Meng Hao didn't think straight and told Manager Zhang no.
But then he remembered he gave a card to Wang Ming. Could it be that he had gone to one of his father's stores? His father owned many stores and shops in the FanLang market. ”Is the person named Wang Ming?”
Manager Zhang felt happy when he heard that Young Master Meng hadn't heard of a person like that. Since that meant that he could blackmail Ming Ming, just thinking about her big and juicy tits made his legs feel like jelly. But then his dreams were crushed when he heard Young Master Meng's next sentence. He had seen the name on the paper, and it said, Wang Ming. He didn't dare to lie to Meng Hao, so he answered truthfully. ”Yes, it's Wang Ming, are you sure it's Wang Ming with telephone number XXXXXXXX?”
”You guys even have his number? Ok, I have decided to promote the Ming Ming girl to Assistant Store Manager. And uncle Zhang I know what your habits are but restrain yourself this time ok? Goodbye.” Zhang Zhou knew that Meng Hao was serious since he had used his real name. Meng Hao never did it unless there was a serious talk between them. Feeling dejected but since his boss had talked there was nothing else he could do.
Ming Ming was nervous as she saw Manager Zhang walking back to her he seemed a little sad, but she knew better than to ask. But she could finally feel relieved and happy when she heard his words. ”You were right, Miss Ming. It's my bad for accusing you of stealing. I hope you can forgive me and as an apology, I will promote you to Assistant Store Manager. So you are below me but over everybody else. And you will also get a triple salary increase. So I hope we can forget about the events that happened today.” Hearing his words, she felt dumbfounded it seemed like she made a great choice by giving the items to Wang Ming.
As all these events happened, Wang Ming was still walking towards the meat part of the market.
