People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 832 Qi Xiaobai: I want to be an official... but I don't want to be one anymore

The shop owner opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that the other party's logic was weird yet perfectly self-consistent.

In desperation, he could only look to Taihe for help.

Facing the shop owner's pleading eyes, Taihe's expression was a little distorted, and he was obviously caught in some difficult dilemma.

Seeing this, the shop owner felt very disappointed.

Whether he was doing the escort business in the early years, or switched to the catering industry in recent years, both are industries that require dealing with people, and the store owner has long developed a delicate mind.

The Master Qi in front of him was definitely the offspring of some powerful figure, otherwise there was no reason why Taihe, a high-ranking official from the capital, would not dare to say a word of persuasion.

The shop owner sighed inwardly and could only grit his teeth and swallow it, thinking of it as spending some money to help his daughter avoid disaster.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Taihe suddenly reached into his arms and took out a bank card.

"Manager Zheng, this is some of my savings, you can take it."

Taihe stepped forward and pressed the bank card into the shop owner's hand: "The password is written on the back of the card, go ahead and take it. If there is too much, it will be considered as compensation for the loss of a store. If there is too little, come back to me."

"This……"

Shopkeeper Zheng subconsciously took the bank card and suddenly felt it was a little hot.

With his mind racing, Manager Zheng quickly stuffed the bank card back:

"I can't accept it. After all, it was my fault first. I have no complaints about Master Qi's punishment."

Taihe held the shop owner's hand and said seriously:

"Don't worry about him, he's just playing around and won't really take it to heart."

Qi Yan stood aside and watched the two of them pushing each other away. It was as if his eyes were fixed on the bank card and he couldn't move them away.

Qi Lin stood beside him and asked in a low voice with some doubt:

"What are they doing?"

"The tradition of the Yan Kingdom." Qi Yan explained without blinking his eyes.

Taihe and Zheng were both embarrassed by Qi Yan's straightforward revelation of the situation. Taihe then stuffed the bank card into Zheng's hand and then moved away.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Zheng put away his bank card, bowed to the few people repeatedly, and quickly left with the reluctant Miss Du.

Noticing that the waiters in the store also wanted to follow, Manager Zheng quickly stopped them with his eyes.

However, Manager Zheng said nothing about the group of people brought by Miss Du, and let these young people, who realized that they had made a big mistake, leave dejectedly.

At this point, although this inn did not go through any official registration, it was officially transferred to Qi Yan's hands.

The customers in the store were originally immersed in the joy of having a free meal, but after noticing Qi Yan's "bully" behavior, they all frowned, lost the mood to eat, and stood up one after another, waving their sleeves and leaving the inn.

Seeing this, Zuo Le couldn't help but complain to Qi Yan:

"Doing business in Yan Country is all about reputation. I'm afraid the store you seized won't be able to continue operating."

"It's so funny. I, Qi Xiaobai, have opened such a big nursing home, how can I be troubled by such a small inn?"

Qi Yan raised his chin confidently, but immediately changed his words: "But now the focus is not on the inn, but on another matter."

"What's the matter?" Zuo Le was puzzled.

Qi Yan's eyes fell on Taihe and he smiled shyly:

"Is this how you make money as an official in Yan Country? Such a big inn, they just compensate you.

Look, do I have a chance to get a job in Yan Country?"

Zuo Le was stunned.

Taihe's heart was filled with alarm.

not good!

Qi Yan is going to rebel again!

In this land, apart from the magical organization of Rhodes Island, no other force can withstand Qi Yan's harm!

"Um... well... how should I put it..."

Taihe was as panicked as if he had been ordered to defend a giant beast alone. His eyes rolled around: "That card is all my life savings!"

"so much?!"

Qi Yan was immediately delighted: "I worked in Rhode Island for half a year and was owed three years' salary. I am so scared that I dare not go back now, for fear that I will check the payroll and find that I have been owed for ten years."

Taihe took a deep breath and stood in awe of Qi Yan.

Then he gritted his teeth and explained: "But as an official in Yan Country, the probability of having your salary deducted is relatively small, and you will go directly to prison."

"I'm familiar with prison. The time in Colombia, and Xiosta..."

"Stop! Please stop talking!" Taihe quickly changed the subject, "The money in that card is probably not enough. I will definitely contact my superiors to apply for reimbursement of funds to help Boss Zheng make up the shortfall."

"I am more familiar with reimbursement now!" Qi Yan was overjoyed.

Taihe was really desperate at this moment, his eyes wandering around looking for someone to help.

He looked at Zuo Le, who had an innocent look on his face, as if he was calculating whether winning over Qi Yan for Yan State would be a great achievement.

Helplessly, Taihe could only look at Chen beside him.

Receiving Taihe's pleading look, Chen sighed and said:

"Yan country officials work overtime without pay."

"Then I'm not going."

Qi Yan turned and left.

Taihe: “…”

He had great respect for Chen in his heart.

Based on Chen's understanding of Qi Yan, she can definitely become a captain if she joins Yan State's special intelligence department against Qi Yan!

But when he thought of Chen's identity, Taihe smiled again.

With Chen's status, why would he need to go to that kind of place to gild himself?

"Wait, something terrible is happening!"

Qi Yan, who was inspecting his own inn, suddenly screamed, scaring Taihe and others so much that they trembled.

"What happened?" Zuo Le immediately went on alert.

"Lao Li ran away among those customers!" Qi Yan looked at the empty inn and was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Who is Lao Li?" Zuo Le looked at his companions around him blankly.

"A detective from Longmen." Chen seemed to have turned into a know-it-all and speculated, "Based on the information Qi Yan revealed along the way, he might be the carrier of the wine cup."

Taihe and Zuo Le suddenly became serious:

"There's still time. They must not have gotten far. Go chase them immediately!"

The two men did what they said and chased after him outside the inn with great vigor.

Chen wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Qi Yan:

"You stay. I have more important arrangements. This matter is even more important than the wine cup."

Hearing this, Chen immediately became serious: "You say."

Qi Yan took a deep breath, solemnly took out a scroll from his arms, and unfolded it in front of Chen.

A red cheongsam painting caught Chen's eyes.

While she was confused, Qi Yan reached into the painting and took the cheongsam out of the painting, turning it into a real object in his palm:

"This is what I secretly coerced myself to do on the way... No, please, I drew this for you. Please put it on."

List:?

"After you put it on, you, Wu You and my sister will stay in the inn." Qi Yan forced the cheongsam into Chen's hands.

List:??

"From now on, Wu You will be responsible for the management of the inn, and you will be responsible for standing at the door of the inn as the inn's signboard!" Qi Yan's face broke into an uncontrollable smile.

List:???

"You just need to trick customers into the inn, and then my sister will sit behind the counter to collect the money. The rest of the question of how much money they spit out is up to the customer's wallet."

Chen finally realized Qi Yan's evil plan, and was so angry that his teeth itched:

"You are a fraud. I will never allow you to do this in Yan Country!"

Qi Yan had already anticipated Chen's resistance and smiled confidently:

"If you promise me this time, I will promise you that no matter how serious the disaster is, the people of Shangshu will not be harmed in the slightest."

"Well... first tell me how serious this Shang Shu incident is."

This was not the first time Chen had come into contact with Qi Yan, and he immediately asked key questions.

"The beast of the year has revived."

"I promise you!"

Qi Yan showed a satisfied smile and turned to look at Wu You. The latter naturally did not resist at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

He looked at his sister again, thinking that with Qi Lin's obedient character, there wouldn't be any problem.

But Qi Lin had a wooden face and remained indifferent to her brother's gaze.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Yan was shocked.

Qi Lin still didn't answer, but just glanced at the red cheongsam in Chen's hand, then immediately looked away, then glanced again, and looked away again.
