Chapter 149 From now on, we will rent our own place.
After hearing Ma Xiuyun's words, Kang Rongli's complexion improved considerably, and his emotions stabilized. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Okay, then go and settle the accounts with Kang Rongzhong for the big store, get back everything you can, and give the store back to him."
It depends on what you think about running the small shop. If you want to do it, make it clear to Kang Rongzhong that you'll be running it alone!
If he doesn't agree, just give him the shop and go find something to do.
"Let's go back and move our things out today, and from now on we'll rent our own place."
“Rongli, let’s not rush things. Let’s solve the immediate problem first…” Ma Xiuyun said.
"Don't you believe me?" Kang Rongli rudely interrupted Ma Xiuyun.
"No, no, I just wanted to handle this matter first..." Ma Xiuyun waved her hands repeatedly.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Kang Rongli, but she was worried that he was already burdened with debts and would have to rent a place to live if he moved out. Where would she get the money?
"If that's not the case, then listen to me and go rent a place right now!"
"I, I... alright." Ma Xiuyun gave in. She thought that Kang Rongli was in a bad mood right now, so it was best not to provoke him.
Kang Rongli turned around and patted Kang Siqiang, saying, "Son, I'm sorry, I made you lose face in front of the teacher today. You'll probably have to listen to some gossip and bear some pressure from now on."
"Dad, I'm an adult now. This little thing won't break me!"
"Okay, then you should go to school right away!"
……
After settling things at home, Kang Rongli headed to Yunqi Company.
Deep down, he still had some hope: perhaps Kang Xinyi would really beg for his sake, perhaps he would really kneel down.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
Kang Xinyi did come to Yunqi, but when he arrived at the gate and said he was looking for Zhao Lao (Zhao Shuliang), the gatekeeper wouldn't let him in.
Then he left to find Kang Rongzhong.
Kang Rongzhong knew he had caused trouble, so he pretended to go to the restroom, sneaked out, and returned to the club.
After asking Liu Gan at the front desk for more details, she learned that although the number of people getting beauty treatments today had not decreased much, the turnover had dropped, which made her a little anxious.
I went to check it out myself and found that their shop was bigger and more aesthetically pleasing than mine.
Eager to know the other party's background, he asked around.
However, they didn't get much useful information.
Just as he was worrying, Kang Xinyi came over.
Hearing that he had ruined Kang Rongyi's business, Kang Rongzhong felt somewhat guilty and thought about seeing Kang Rongyi to comfort him and discuss how to resolve the situation.
Upon hearing the two conditions Mr. Dai mentioned, he immediately changed his mind: No way! This matter cannot involve me!
Compensation is impossible; where would I get two million?
It's impossible to persuade that old Zhao, since I once smeared Deng Xiuzhen in front of him.
He spouted nonsense again today and humiliated him to his face. How could I possibly get him to do anything?
Kang Rongzhong made up his mind not to get involved.
As they chatted, they suddenly remembered something: Ma Xiuyun had points at the club.
Could she do something foolish to pay off Kang Rongli's debts?
Kang Rongzhong quickly called the cashier over and instructed her that she should not give money to anyone except herself.
If Ma Xiuyun comes asking for money, tell her to come find him.
Then, an emergency inventory check and accounting were conducted, and some changes were made to the accounts.
Ma Xiuyun first went to check out the old store, and she was surprised to find that a new store had opened not far from the old store.
The shop owner was a complete stranger to her. The shop was already renovated and equipped, and it was ready to open for business at any time.
When Zhao Chenglai arrived, a beautician working at the store told her, "Business hasn't changed much today, but Boss Kang came by and took away the money and the account books."
Ma Xiuyun sensed something was wrong and rushed to the new store; she had to find Kang Rongzhong as soon as possible.
The person was found, but the accounts differed from what she had seen a few days ago. However, without evidence, nothing she said mattered.
She finally realized that Kang Rongli was right and that she had to settle accounts with Kang Rongzhong as soon as possible!
Because not only will they not help me pay off my debts, they will also transfer assets to prevent me from using the club's money to pay off my debts.
Next, I'm afraid they'll have to kick me out of the club to prevent debt collectors from coming there.
Sure enough, as soon as Kang Rongzhong saw Ma Xiuyun, he went straight to the point about clarifying the matters concerning the shop.
The same excuses used against Deng Xiuzhen are now being used against Ma Xiuyun and her group: the club's license is in Kang Rongzhong's name, there's no contract, no witnesses, and the club has nothing to do with Ma Xiuyun!
"According to what you're saying, then the old clubhouse has nothing to do with you, right?" Ma Xiuyun said calmly, suppressing her anger.
Kang Rongzhong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied, "That's right, the new store has nothing to do with you, and the old store has nothing to do with me."
Ma Xiuyun gave him a cold look and said, "Then what do you mean by taking the account book and money from the old shop?"
"I was worried that if something happened to Rongli, you wouldn't have time to take care of it, so I thought I'd help you keep an eye on it," Kang Rongzhong said, handing over the account books and cash.
Ma Xiuyun looked at the ledger and found that it had been altered, just like the new store's ledger. And the money was less.
She finally witnessed Kang Rongzhong's shamelessness and disgusting nature.
Knowing that further discussion was pointless, Ma Xiuyun took the items and rushed back to the old shop.
Looking at the newly opened shop, she turned and walked into the alley.
"Transfer the shop to me? Do you think I'd want it?" Deng Xiuzhen looked at Ma Xiuyun as if she were an idiot.
Ma Xiuyun forced herself to say, "You know, this shop is quite profitable. I'm in trouble at home and urgently need money."
“But I don’t want to get a beauty treatment.” Deng Xiuzhen didn’t want to say more to Ma Xiuyun.
"Why?" Ma Xiuyun asked.
"Do I need to explain the reasons? If you want to get better, just forward it to me?" Deng Xiuzhen sneered.
Ma Xiuyun gave an awkward smile and left disappointed.
Qian Rongzhong successfully drove Ma Xiuyun away and even swindled her out of money, which greatly improved his mood, which had been affected by the opening of the shop across the street.
He specifically went to see his former brother-in-law, Wei Mingde, to inquire about the situation at the store across the street.
Unfortunately, Wei Mingde went to the countryside.
When he got home that evening, Kang Xinyi told him that Kang Rongli and Ma Xiuyun had moved out and that he should call them to persuade them to come back.
He naturally wouldn't try to persuade them, otherwise what would they do if debt collectors came knocking on their door?
When Kang Xinyi heard that if Kang Rongli and his family moved away, debt collectors might come knocking on their door, he was shocked.
They immediately changed their tune, saying it would be better for them to live separately.
Kang Rongli, who had come back to get his things, was heartbroken again upon hearing this. He left without taking his belongings.
"Mr. Kang, the shop across the street has been vandalized!" The next day, as soon as Kang Rongzhong arrived at the shop, he heard some good news.
He asked with a broad smile, "Do you know who smashed it?"
Everyone said they didn't know.
Kang Rongzhong was in a great mood and went to the store to take a look. It was really badly smashed. The table had broken legs, the stool was limping, the treatment bed was overturned, and even the wall was smashed with holes!
Judging from this, it all needs to be renovated.
Kang Rongzhong was overjoyed that his competitor had a rival: Heaven was truly helping me!
