The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1252 - 1252: Xiao Pan Ran Away
Bai Huanyu sent someone to visit, and Xiao Feng had anticipated this beforehand, so he provided a way to deal with it in advance.
And the fact that Bai Tieniu could be easily sent away shows that the matter of the "Fake Original Heart Pill" has not been exposed yet.
Sure enough, when he asked if Bai Tieniu mentioned anything else, the little girl replied that he hadn't.
Then, she asked the question she would mention in every call: "Brother Xiao Feng, when are you coming back?"
Xiao Feng replied routinely: "Soon, I'll be back in a day or two."
"You said soon during the last call too, are you planning to settle in Kyoto?" The little girl frowned and said discontentedly: "I'm telling you, don't think about ditching us.
Three days!
Just three days, if you're not back by then, we'll team up and come find you in Kyoto, and it won't be pretty."
Xiao Feng calculated the time, and three days seemed enough, so he agreed: "I'll definitely be back within three days."
"Hmph! That's more like it."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait!" The little girl interrupted: "There's one more important thing."
"Go ahead."
"Brother Xiao Feng..." The little girl smiled cunningly: "Shall I sing a song for you?"
"Hmm?"
Without waiting for Xiao Feng to agree, the little girl began singing: "Sending you to the village's edge, there's something I must tell you..."
"..." Xiao Feng.
Meanwhile;
Bai Tieniu, who returned to the Bai Family, was reporting to Bai Huanyu about inviting Xiao Feng in detail.
After listening, Bai Huanyu frowned and said: "It shouldn't be like this... are you sure you saw Xiao Feng?"
"That bastard, I could recognize him even if he turned to ashes!" Bai Tieniu said angrily: "What a jerk! He really thinks he's something special!"
Bai Huanyu mused: "If you really saw Xiao Feng at home, then he's basically finished."
"Finished?"
"As a leading figure, the most important thing is not to lose people's hearts, especially in the current situation."
Bai Huanyu chuckled lightly: "Even if the Du Family and Wang Lubo are deeply connected with him and won't stray from his camp, the Chang Family is uncertain.
In such a situation where he's hitting walls everywhere and constantly limited, instead of trying to break through, he stays home doing nothing, which will only cause him to lose people's hearts.
If the Chang Family takes the lead in turning against him, even the minor supporters won't be able to stir any waves on his side."
"Now that you mention it, it's strange that Xiao Feng would do nothing." Bai Tieniu said, full of doubts.
Bai Huanyu nodded slowly: "That's what's unusual to me too, even putting on a show is better than doing nothing.
Could it be... he really thinks there's no hope of a comeback and has given up resistance?"
Bai Tieniu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "It makes sense, as you often said, nothing stays prosperous forever, and once at the peak, it starts to decline.
If the people in Kyoto hadn't intervened, Xiao Feng might have been able to hold on, and it wouldn't have started declining so soon,
but changes in the situation often happen suddenly, and now it's a matter of foundation, looking across all of Jiangcheng, who has more foundation than our Bai Family?"
"Hey, don't say it like that, arrogance and complacency are big taboos." Bai Huanyu said sternly, but the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his inner feelings.
Just at this moment, the butler hurried into the courtyard, bowed and said: "Master, young master, Wang Rui is back."
"Oh?"
Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu exchanged a glance, their lips curling into smiles simultaneously.
The 5,000 Original Heart Pills purchased from Xiao Feng were handed over by Bai Huanyu to Pan Jinlian for sale.
And Wang Rui was the assistant Bai Huanyu assigned to Pan Jinlian.
Of course, calling it an assistant was really just a pair of monitoring eyes.
This moment Wang Rui returns, in the eyes of Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu, it should be that the sales channel for the Original Heart Pill... no!
The Dragon and Tiger Pill have opened up, and Wang Rui is rushing back to report the good news.
"Let him in." Bai Huanyu instructed with a smile.
"Yes!" The butler answered and quickly left the courtyard.
Before long, a young man in a mink coat walked into the courtyard, led by the butler.
Bai Huanyu waved the butler away, and looking at the young man with a broad smile, said: "Little Rui, it seems you've been doing well recently?"
"Master! Young master!" Wang Rui lowered his head and bowed to Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu respectively.
Bai Huanyu waved his hand and said: "Little Rui, judging by your outfit, the Dragon and Tiger Pill must be selling well?"
Before Wang Rui could respond, Bai Tieniu said sternly: "Wang Rui, don't forget what your job is.
You can enjoy yourself, but don't forget the main business.
Don't let Pan Jinlian's little favors make you lose your way!"
"Master, young master, I..." Wang Rui showed a fearful expression, then seemed to have something hard to say.
"Just say whatever it is." Bai Huanyu said with a gentle smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Rui fell to his knees with a thud and said in a voice that was about to cry: "Master, young master, it's my incompetence that let Pan Jinlian run away!"
Hearing this, Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu felt puzzled.
Run... ran away?
Logically, in the Dragon and Tiger Pill business, Bai Family's commission to Pan Jinlian wasn't low.
Moreover, this is a steady business; though it's not enough to get rich overnight, it ensures continuous earnings.
Over time, it gathers up to be a considerable income too.
Under such conditions, the father and son really couldn't find a reason for Pan Jinlian to run.
"What's going on?" Bai Huanyu asked in a low voice, his usual smile vanishing.
Wang Rui quickly said: "Originally, the sales channel for the Dragon and Tiger Pill had opened up, more than half of the 5,000 sold, and clients' feedback was quite favorable, many were willing to pay more for bulk purchases.
But who knew last night, suddenly we received numerous calls accusing us of false advertising.
Previously, some had said as much, but never had so many appeared at once."
"Smack!"
Bai Tieniu stormed forward and slapped him across the face, cursing angrily: "Why the hell didn't you call last night?"
"I-I was going to call, but Pan Jinlian said it was okay, he could handle it, and then had a lot of women get me drunk.
This morning I woke up to find Pan Jinlian and his men gone, and I couldn't reach him by phone, so I rushed back to report."
"You still have the nerve to show your face?!" Bai Tieniu slapped him again, and feeling it wasn't enough, kicked him in the chest.
Bai Huanyu raised a hand to stop Bai Tieniu from hitting further, then looked at Wang Rui and asked: "Are the unsold Dragon and Tiger Pills still there?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Rui replied hastily: "I checked before coming back, Pan Jinlian didn't take the unsold Dragon and Tiger Pills."
"Tie Niu, go there personally and bring back that batch of goods." Bai Huanyu instructed through gritted teeth.
And at this moment, Bai Tieniu also realized what was happening, immediately cursing: "Damn! Xiao Feng, you bastard!"
