"Hmph! That old geezer, despite my visit bearing generous gifts yesterday and using kind words to persuade him, he didn't even say a word and picked up a stool to throw me out!"
Early in the morning, Manager Zhang vented his frustration to Cai Youliang.
Cai Youliang maintained a sullen expression, silent, lost in his thoughts.
Seeing no response despite speaking for a long time, Manager Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you speaking?"
Cai Youliang blinked twice, speaking slowly, "I understand his temper, he won't be easily bribed."
Otherwise, why would he have stolen the book and left back then? Wasn't it because the other party was stubborn?
"What should we do then? The boss has already spoken, if we fail, we'll lose our job," Manager Zhang said worriedly.
He was very reluctant to lose this job; not only was he a shopkeeper, but the pay was high, and at his age, where else could he find such an easy, well-paying job?
