be at one's wit's end
"Master Ye, Master Tang, what took you so long?" Wu Kun had been standing amidst the ruins outside his shop, staring at the charred remains of the flower shop. As soon as he saw the taxi carrying Old Ye and Tang Zhendong arrive, he immediately went to greet them.
Lao Ye saw Wu Kun's shop burned like this, and didn't know how to comfort him. At this time, Tang Zhen Dong made a fist and said, "Congratulations, Boss Wu!"
Wu Kun was taken aback, and immediately became unhappy. What kind of joy is this? If you think this is joyful, I'll go to your house and set a fire for you to celebrate, let's see if you're still congratulatory! Thinking of this, the respect he originally had for Tang Zhendong disappeared, leaving only unexpressed anger. "Mr. Tang, it's all burnt like this, where does the joy come from?"
Tang Zhen Dong kept a smile on his face, "Boss Wu, remember I once told you that burning incense here would be better, the more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes? I thought this was what Boss Wu wanted for himself to become more prosperous, so he lit a fire himself!"
In Wu Kun's heart, Tang Zhen Dong is a junior fellow apprentice, and Ye Da Shi is the master. Tang Zhen Dong's words cannot convince Wu Kun, so he runs to Old Ye's side, "Master Ye, please enlighten me."
Lao Ye was particularly skilled at observing human emotions and expressions. As soon as Wu Kun approached him, Lao Ye knew what he wanted to ask, but he didn't believe a word of what Tang Zhen Dong said about the fire burning down the pawnshop.
No matter how you look at it, the other family's shop was burned to ashes in a fire, and it doesn't seem like they're going to have good fortune. Of course, if this is really a sign of good fortune, then Old Ye would be grateful, but is that possible?
"Boss Wu, to be honest with you, my apprentice Xiao Tang, although he is still far behind me in physiognomy, but he has a great talent for Feng Shui. Sometimes, his judgments are even more accurate than mine." Old Ye could only make up an excuse like this to justify Tang Zhendong's persistence, otherwise their first business deal would definitely fall through.
"Master Ye, you mean to say that Master Tang's words are quite reasonable?" To be honest, Wu Kun preferred Master Ye's mature and steady demeanor, while Tang Zhen Dong always gave Wu Kun the impression of being reckless and unreliable.
"Mr. Wu, how about this? I'll go back and re-examine the feng shui here carefully, and come back tomorrow to explain the specific results of the examination. At the same time, I'll bring over the Tai Shan stone gallbladder that has been opened to light, as well as the God of Wealth. When you're decorating, just bring the God of Wealth along with you, and have his image printed in your decorated house, so that he can always be with you. What do you think?"
"Alright, alright, alright, thank you Master Ye, thanks."
"Alright, alright."
。。。。。。。。。。
Although Wu Kun was somewhat resentful of Tang Zhendong, he didn't dare to offend him. Although he felt that Tang Zhendong's words were not pleasant to hear, Wu Kun was now quite worried and didn't have the energy to care about Tang Zhendong's sarcastic remarks.
How to deal with Municipal Committee Standing Committee member Wang Youde and his son Wang is the top priority at the moment. Because tomorrow is the deadline for the 100,000 yuan that Wang Gang wants, and although Wu Kun's family doesn't lack this 100,000, doing business and taking money from home are two different concepts.
The loss of Wu Kun's flower shop in this fire is almost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Adding the cost of renovation, it's probably at least 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
He was just extorted 100,000 yuan on this side and lost nearly another 100,000 yuan this time. For Wu Kun, it's almost a complete loss, but fortunately, he had built a flower shed behind his store, which is where he grows flowers. This place wasn't affected by the big fire, so it can be considered as leaving him with some capital to make a comeback.
But if he loses another 100,000 yuan to Wang Gang and then spends another 50-60,000 on renovations, Wu Kun can almost imagine the difficulties he will face in the future.
The shop staff all came, but after seeing the store burned like this, they all went back, leaving only Wu Kun staring at his own store in a daze.
Wu Kun was thinking, whether to sublease the store or continue decorating and running it himself. Subleasing would allow him to recover some losses, but after all, he had struggled here for over a decade, and this flower shop had enabled Wu Kun to buy a house and a car, achieving a relatively comfortable life. Wu Kun had strong feelings for this flower shop.
Will continuing to do so continue his own misfortune? Wu Kun was really frightened by the misfortune of this period, but Wu Kun suddenly remembered Tang Zhendong's words: Fire burns the prosperous shop. Maybe this big fire will really bring himself good luck? Moreover, his flower shed did not turn into ashes in this big fire, and there were at least tens of thousands of dollars worth of flowers in this flower shed, which was the source of Wu Kun's confidence.
Thinking of this, Wu Kun stood up and was about to contact a decoration company to renovate his store again. However, before he could even move, he looked up and saw Wang Gang's car speeding by.
However, Wang Gang seemed to have also noticed the situation here. After driving his car over, he slammed on the brakes and slowly backed up again. As soon as Wu Kun saw Wang Gang return, a look of impending doom appeared on his face.
Wang Gang is now in Wu Kun's eyes no less than a ferocious wolf that eats people without spitting out bones, he comes, must be to ask for money from himself. Hope he can see the situation where his own store was burned like this and give himself more time!
Wu Kun silently prayed in his heart.
Wang Gang drove up in his Touareg, reversed it to where Wu Kun was standing with a worried look on his face, rolled down the window, took a close look at Wu Kun, then got out of the car. "I'm saying you're not afraid I'll ask you for money and just burn down the store?" Wang Gang's tone was very arrogant, one glance at this situation and he knew that his money was probably enough.
If Wu Kun's store was here, it would be a waste of money, and I could mess with him all day. But now the store is gone, Wu Kun has left, and my money is completely lost.
King Gang is the son of King Youde, and King Youde also told King Gang about how to deal with the boss of the flower shop. He said to King Gang, just give him a little lesson, don't make a big deal out of it, it's not worth it.
Although Wang Youde is not afraid of trouble, but just because he delayed for twenty minutes and drove the other party to desperation, this point may be a bit far-fetched. Moreover, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount. When Wang Youde learned that Wang Gang was extorting 100,000 yuan from someone, Wang Youde almost jumped up in shock. 100,000 yuan is not a small amount for an ordinary family, but for Wang Youde, as long as he stretches out his hand, countless people will bring him 100,000 yuan and pour into his house.
Besides, as an official at this level, Wang Youde absolutely cannot be caught off guard for 100,000 yuan. Now that he is a Standing Committee member of the Municipal Party Committee, even if someone offered him 10 million to trade, he wouldn't do it.
