Chapter 284 [284] Playing the Long Game to Catch the Big Fish
Not only Liu Ping, but also several other employees in the store were very dissatisfied with Tang Feng's handling of the case.
This Liu Ping almost damaged the store's reputation, and also caused them to be suspected by Tang Feng. How could they easily swallow this anger?
Tang Feng didn't care what they thought. Seeing Liu Ping still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Why? Don't you want to pay it back?"
"No, mainly...mainly..." Liu Ping waved his hands hurriedly, not knowing what to say.
You can't just say, I think your punishment is too light, which surprised me.
Isn't that a cheap skin?
Tang Feng seemed to be able to see through his mind, and couldn't help but smile, "Things have already come to this, even if I send you to prison, what good will it do me?"
"Fortunately, this incident did not cause too much loss to the store, otherwise even if I wanted to let you go, it would be impossible."
Liu Ping was relieved after hearing his explanation.
Although Tang Feng's explanation was a bit far-fetched, it made sense.
Indeed, this incident was a close call, and did not cause any losses to Tang Feng and the antique shop.
Even if he was sent to prison, it would not be good for him and the shop.
It would be better to let him go.
After thinking this through, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Tang Feng and Qin Yanan, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, thank you, Mr. Qin."
"Hmph!"
Qin Yanan turned her head away, not wanting to look at him any more.
Liu Ping did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly called his wife to ask her to send the snuff bottle to the shop.
And he went to write a resignation report.
Most of the people who were watching the excitement in the shop left when they saw that there was nothing to watch.
There was also a small number of people who came and simply wandered around the shop.
The other shop assistants also returned to their jobs.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
But Tang Feng knew that things were far from over.
He was not a saintly person who was almost killed by someone and repaid evil with kindness.
He just wanted to play the long game and catch the big fish.
Since there was no breakthrough from Liu Ping, he would let him go first, and then secretly follow him. Naturally, he could follow the clues and find the real mastermind behind the scenes.
After waiting for about half an hour, he saw a woman with a big belly walking into the store.
Liu Ping walked up to her quickly, whispered a few words to the woman, then took a small wooden box from her hand, turned around and came to Tang Feng and Qin Yanan.
"Teacher Tang, President Qin, this is the snuff bottle, please check it." As he said, he handed over the wooden box.
Tang Feng reached out to take it, opened the box and took a look, confirmed that it was the authentic Qing Dynasty snuff bottle, and then handed it to Qin Yanan next to him.
"Pregnant?" He pointed at the woman with a big belly.
"Yes, six months." Liu Ping hurriedly made up a smile.
"Then be nice to your wife, don't let such a good woman down." Tang Feng stood up and patted Liu Ping on the shoulder.
"Yes, Mr. Tang." Liu Ping showed a touching expression on his face, and it was unclear whether it was true or fake.
"Okay, go back." Tang Feng waved his hand and said nothing more.
Liu Ping and the pregnant woman expressed their gratitude to the two again, and then left hand in hand.
Tang Feng waited for them to leave the store, then turned back and said to Qin Yanan: "I will follow them and try to find the real culprit behind the scenes."
"I will go with you." Qin Yanan hurriedly got up.
Tang Feng hesitated for a moment, and didn't think there would be any danger, so he nodded, "Let's go."
Because their cars were too high-profile, Tang Feng simply borrowed Ge Hui's Honda CRV, and then followed Liu Ping's car with Qin Yanan from a distance.
Liu Ping drove a Haval H6, and it can be seen that his life is still relatively tight.
In fact, Qin Yanan is not a stingy boss, and can even be said to be very generous.
The lowest-paid employees of Yayuan can also earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.
Liu Ping's monthly salary is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so he shouldn't be living in such a tight spot.
"I'm so angry. I didn't expect such an ungrateful person to appear in the store. I've been nice to them, but I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful."
Qin Yanan was sitting in the passenger seat, still feeling indignant.
"He may have some difficulties." Tang Feng explained for Liu Ping.
"What difficulties can he have? He's just greedy. He doesn't think about how to improve his business ability, but thinks about these evil ways every day. As the chief appraiser of the store, you have an unshirkable responsibility for the problems of your subordinates. I think you are too kind to them, which is why they are getting more and more aggressive..."
Boss Qin began to vent all his anger on Tang Feng.
Tang Feng stretched out his hand and slapped his mouth twice. He was just a bad mouth. Knowing that she was angry, why did he provoke this powder keg?
All the way, he spent his time under Qin Yanan's endless nagging.
It took nearly an hour before Liu Ping's car turned into a narrow alley.
This is a row of bungalows, and the houses are a bit old.
Piles of garbage can be seen everywhere on the street.
Since Tang Feng and his car windows were open, a foul smell came to his nose.
"Close the window quickly." Qin Yanan pinched her nose in a hurry.
Without her saying anything, Tang Feng had already closed the window, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my god, the smell here is too strong, isn't it?"
Qin Yanan couldn't help but complain, "This Liu Ping is really something, why does he live in such an environment?"
Tang Feng glanced at her and joked, "You are a bit like a meat porridge. Living in such a place must be because of poverty."
"No, Liu Ping's income is definitely not low in Zhonghai. No matter what, he is not so poor, right?" Qin Yanan was a little puzzled.
For a city with an average salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, Liu Ping's monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan can definitely be regarded as a high-income group.
Even if you can't live in a top-notch mansion, you don't have to live in a place like this.
In fact, Tang Feng was a little confused about this.
After driving for a while, he saw Liu Ping's car stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
Then he pushed the door and got out of the car, walked around to the passenger seat, and helped his wife down.
Tang Feng also drove the car to a secluded place, got out of the car with Qin Yanan, and followed.
