With that said, he dramatically walked away, muttering berating remarks under his breath: “What’s the world coming to when sellers become so arrogant and overbearing? They have no clue about how reality works and still expect others to seek for their favors. Is it a daydream or something? Do they think the sun rises from the west now?”
Watching Tong Fei leave the shop, Mrs. Cao walked uneasily over to Zhuang Qingning. “Are those things he said true?”
“I have no idea, but judging from the current situation, it’s probably mostly accurate,” Zhuang Qingning answered with a frown. “Given Uncle Zhang’s personality, he certainly wouldn’t divulge such an incident. I presume Big Brother Lian Rong was here yesterday exactly because of this matter.”
“That could be the case.” Mrs. Cao’s face filled with even more guilt. “I should have asked more yesterday.”
If she had asked more prudently yesterday, she could have discussed this with Zhuang Qingning earlier, thereby avoiding this unnecessary argument with the ignorant staff.
Not supplying to Fushun Tower was quite a trivial matter as per tofu shop’s business perspective. Regardless of the quantity of the products, they never lacked buyers; the key point was whether they were willing to sell or not. It was quite disheartening that they came to know about this from Tong Fei, which inevitably put them on the back foot, making Zhuang Qingning quite embarrassed and disadvantaged.
“Regardless, there’s nothing to celebrate about this situation. Big Brother Lian Rong probably wouldn’t want this to be common knowledge either. Even if you had asked Auntie yesterday, I’m afraid Big Brother Lian Rong still wouldn’t have said anything.”
Zhuang Qingning continued, “So, auntie, you don’t need to feel too guilty about it. If Big Brother Lian Rong wanted to keep it a secret, there must be a reason.
The folks at Fushun Tower are nothing more than deliberately picking a quarrel – they would always find some nonsense to argue about. Thus, no need to pay too much heed.”
“We should still find out where Uncle Zhang is just in case.”
Zhang Yongchang actually had a home in the town, but he usually lived in the backyard of Fushun Tower with his colleagues like Lian Rong. Therefore, Zhuang Qingning didn’t know where Uncle Zhang’s house was.
“Given the size of this town and our frequent encounters, I’m certain we’ll find his whereabouts if we ask a few people who know Chef Zhang quite well.”
