Chapter 67 The Threat of Creditors
"Lawyer Luo, you're the sunny one, please sit in the shade." Li Tianchou moved a small chair and placed it under the shade of the tree.
"It doesn't matter, you're busy with yours, don't worry about me." Luo Weimin hurriedly thanked, but did not sit down. "This business is very hard, it's not easy in hot weather."
Li Tianchou smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it. You have a rest first, and I'll finish the work."
"Your friend?" Peng Weihua's voice was very quiet.
"I'm acquaintance. I met by chance and helped me." Li Tianchou put on gloves again.
Peng Weihua nodded and said nothing. The two of them quickly finished the orders they had.
"Tell your friend to drive the car over." Peng Weihua wiped the sweat from his face and looked up at Luo Weimin and Luo Lin standing under the shade of the tree.
"Uh, no, master, there are still orders behind it." Li Tianchou was embarrassed. Since the rules in the store cannot be added to the team, of course he cannot destroy them.
"It doesn't matter, drive here. I have my rules for every minute." Peng Weihua looked indifferent.
After refusing for a few more words, Peng Weihua was a little unhappy, so Li Tianchou had to signal Luo Weimin to drive over.
From Li Tianchou's expression, Luo Weimin also found that he seemed to be suspected of joining the team, but he had no idea what to say.
Peng Weihua's skills are not enough, so he can make trouble in a few strokes. This made Luo Weimin admire him. Before leaving, he handed them his business cards, "Zhongtian Law Firm, if you have any legal issues in the future, come to me directly. Thank you. Xiao Li, come and sit down when you have time." Although it was a polite word, it also demonstrated Luo Weimin's generous side.
Rowling kept blushing until she got into the car and nodded to Li Tianchou, but she didn't say anything from beginning to end.
"Hey, why are you stunned? The little girl looks at you so unusual. If you catch up, I will be on vacation." Peng Weihua flicked the business card with his finger and whistled.
"Master Peng, I was so bad just now." When I was embarrassed, the cold voice of Miss Song came from behind, which scared Li Tianchou. I'll go, this supervisor is so awesome. When did he get behind him, he didn't notice it at all.
"Is it broken? Not bad! Not bad? Not bad? Not bad! Not bad? Not bad..." Peng Weihua smiled and looked at him like chanting scriptures.
Miss Song obviously didn't expect to subdue Peng Wulang in just one sentence. She directed the handyman to bring in two iced plastic buckets. When she opened it, she saw that the bucket was full of extremely attractive lychees, and the small bucket was filled with sour plum soup to quench thirst and heat-relieving.
"My masters, take a break and relieve the heat. Except for those who broke the rules just now." Miss Song's voice was not loud, but it was crisp and sweet. It seemed as refreshing as timely rain in this hot and hard time, but for Peng Weihua and Li Tianchou, it was undoubtedly a blow.
Everyone stopped their work and ran over with a giggle. The big bucket was immediately filled with greasy dirty hands. The chewing and sucking sound made Peng Weihua feel itchy.
"Master Peng, everyone is watching. You have to be aware of it." After saying that, Miss Song smiled and twisted back to the office.
Qi Baozhu brought a cup of sour plum soup and deliberately shook it in front of Peng Weihua. He gurgled with a big mouthful, and a little smile appeared on his cold face. Finally, he shouted: "It's so good!" and sprinkled the last bite on the ground.
"I'm so mad, you guys." Peng Weihua spitted hard, turned around and went to find his big teapot.
Well, rewards and punishments are clear. Miss Song is quite capable. Such a group is becoming more and more interesting, and Li Tianchou doesn't feel laughing in his heart.
Suddenly his waist vibrated, and he hurriedly took out the pager and found that it was an unfamiliar number. The message left a message but made him stunned, "If you have something to do in the Internet cafe, please reply quickly."
What is wrong with the Internet cafe? What will happen? Thinking of not seeing the red hair for two days, Li Tianchou felt a vague premonition in his heart. He was not used to taking leave to do private affairs, but now he can't take care of much.
Without time to consider who called the page, Li Tianchou hurriedly greeted Peng Weihua, then changed his clothes and left the car.
When he arrived at the edge of the village in the city, Li Tianchou looked up and saw that the Internet cafe was open normally, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. He felt half relieved.
Walking into the Internet cafe quickly, everything is normal except for no customers. No, how could the people today be so full? Except for the captain, the little guys are all there.
Everyone was obviously surprised when they saw Li Tianchou, "Brother, why are you here?" Hongmao stood up.
This made Li Tianchou strange. Could it be that the guys who called the page were not the captain? It is unlikely that.
"What happened to the Internet cafe?" Li Tianchou didn't think so much, and he went straight to the point. Seeing that these people were getting together, it was impossible to make sure that there was something wrong with them.
The red-haired man did not answer immediately. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, it seems that there is really a hidden secret.
Li Tianchou simply moved a chair and sat down, "What did we say last time?" The Internet cafe did not turn on the air conditioner, it was really hot. He stretched out his hand and squirted his forehead, and it was so smooth that it was full of sweat.
The bedbug looked for a big palm fan with a wink, and shouted for Li Tianchou.
"I'll do it myself." Li Tianchou grabbed the palm-leaf fan with anger on his face. "I'm talking, are you hoarse?"
The red-haired lips squirmed a few times, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Tianchou. "It was lifted off the wall at noon." He did not dare to tell Li Tianchou that there was the same piece of paper on the door of his brother and sister-in-law's house.
Li Tianchou took it in confusion and frowned, understanding why everyone was so difficult. The content on the paper was very simple, just one line of words: Wu Tianbao, pay back the debt! Give you another day, otherwise you will be blocked from the Internet cafe!
"Wu Tianbao is your brother, right?" Li Tianchou put away the paper and did not return it.
Hongmao nodded.
"It seems that I was causing trouble. Who are these?" At this time, Li Tianchou remembered that his medical expenses were always covered by Hongmao's brother. He ran around all day and was unable to repay them. Now he was being collected by others. It seems that Hongmao's brother and sister-in-law's life is much harder than that of him, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Treasurer." Hongmao's answer was very straightforward.
"Have you got together to discuss a solution?" Li Tianchou knew that the red-haired and others planned to discuss the so-called countermeasures without hiding them, so he remained silent.
Everyone nodded together, and then suddenly shook their heads together, a little confused.
Hongmao cleared her throat, "I discussed it for a long time, but I had no clue and couldn't afford to offend the other party. So I planned to close the Internet cafe for a few days first, but there was no business anyway."
"Why? The other party is a creditor, not a bandit? Why hide?"
"My brother lost money in business and owed a lot of money. His creditors have several groups, which are not easy to mess with." Hongmao simply told the truth. He didn't want to implicate Li Tianchou, but with his own ability, he couldn't bear it even if he turned dozens of times. He really couldn't think of a way. "He owed about hundreds of thousands, and now he would probably have to pay back millions of profits."
"The profit is high? Ultimate loan?" Li Tianchou was shocked. There was a lazy man in the neighboring village who used to bet on usury. Not long after a few thousand yuan, he had to pay it back. He could not afford it at all, so he had to hide from and hide. In the end, he was caught and killed. This was what happened when he was in school, and he was deeply impressed. He always had a special hatred and rejection of usury loan sharks.
"What are the ways these creditors have? Have you figured it out?" Li Tianchou asked further.
"I don't know, my brother won't tell me." Hongmao shook his head, but he had a rough idea in his heart. At least his brother had a few friends on the road, but he hid everywhere and refused to say it, which proved that he had a good background.
Li Tianchou pondered silently, and the big palm fan in his hand made everyone feel nervous. "Red hair, uh... can you contact your brother? I want to meet him. I helped me last time, but I didn't have time to thank you. In addition, I also want to know the situation of these creditors."
Hongmao shook her head with a dull face, "He doesn't know where to hide now, and I can't contact him since last night."
In this way, Li Tianchou felt that the situation was serious beyond his imagination. It was natural to pay back the debt, but it was difficult to accept the profits to be so profitable that it would be so scared.
Moreover, the Internet cafe cannot be closed, otherwise the little guys would have no hope. He owed a great favor to his brother and sister-in-law. It is time to stand in front. Anyway, he is a poor man, so he can do whatever he wants. Li Tianchou made up his mind, and he couldn't consciously think of the domineering Uncle Geng and grandma in his heart. I don't believe that he can't even make a way out with his fists.
"Don't close the Internet cafe. Leave the creditor's affairs to me. I want to see what these people are." After a few twists of my mind, I made up my mind and owed others money and was so awesome that Li Tianchou felt a little funny. There was no way, what does it mean to force him to go to Liangshan.
"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. I just don't help you with the tens of thousands of dollars. My brother is also in debt and can't blame others. You have not been cured and you have just found a job, so don't join us." Hongmao was one because he was dissatisfied, but he was afraid that he would be unsure of his elder brother.
Li Tianchou shook his head, "This matter is settled, and the door will be opened as usual tomorrow. Everyone should be busy with whatever they should be. I have a proper position. How can I know if I don't fight? If I can't fight, I will close the door again and I won't be frustrated. Now I'm going to have dinner, I'm hungry, and I have something to talk to you."
After hearing this, everyone felt indescribable comfort. Although they were still a little uneasy, the elder brother's ability was seen with their own eyes. Looking at the elder brother's confidence, everyone felt that they had found a backer and the haze in front of them was wiped out.
Hongmao was also moved, and this big brother was really right.
"Bomb, do you know where the captain is? Call me over and have dinner together, but it's still an old place." On the way, Li Tianchou suddenly remembered that there was a missing treasure.
"I'll see you at noon, I'll go find it." After saying that, the bedbug ran away. (To be continued)
