Zhang Zian drove away from the beach and headed back to the pet shop.
As soon as he entered the shop, Wang Qian greeted him. He pointed to the shop next door and said, "Master, you should go and take a look. The two old men are here again."
Zhang Zian thought to himself, "Which two old men?" He walked to the aquarium without stopping. Before he entered the door, he heard Welder Zhao's loud and hoarse voice.
"Store Manager Zhang, you're back!" Electrician Wu saw Zhang Zian come in and let out a long sigh of relief. "We're here to disturb you again. You weren't here just now, so we were hesitating whether or not to go back first … Don't think we're bothersome. It's just that this guy is really worrisome."
He pointed at Welder Zhao, who was next to him.
Welder Zhao was still the same Welder Zhao. He was tall and had a loud voice, but he didn't look too good that day. His face was not as red and bright as usual. But it was no wonder. After all, he had just been to the hospital.
"Wu, what are you talking about? Who's worrisome? " Welder Zhao retorted, unconvinced. He then said to Zhang Zian, "Store Manager Zhang, I'm here to pick up the fish I ordered. Did you still keep them for me?"
Before Zhang Zian could answer, Electrician Wu interrupted, "Zhao, shouldn't you thank him first? How can you be like this? If it weren't for him, you'd probably still be lying in the hospital! "
"Bah bah bah! What lying in the hospital? It sounds so bad! "Welder Zhao said.
"If it weren't for him pointing out that it was the sea anemone toxin, the hospital might not have been able to carry out targeted treatment so quickly. Who else would be lying in the hospital if not you?" Electrician Wu scolded. "If it weren't for you and Carpenter Wang messing around, how could such a big thing happen? The entire community was almost wiped out by you guys … "
"Hehe, Wu, you're flattering us. We're not that good …"
"I'm not complimenting you!"
The two old men were arguing with each other, and the nearby customers who were looking at the fish looked at them in confusion. They thought to themselves that the two of them were really disrespectful …
Zhang Zian saw that they were arguing endlessly, so he interrupted, "Master Zhao, the fish you ordered, because you didn't come to pick them up at the agreed time, they've been sold to other customers."
Welder Zhao panicked. "Didn't I come to pick them up now? You sold it so quickly? "
"Hehe, when did you make an appointment with Manager Zhang? What day is it today? So many f * cking days have passed, and they don't even know if you can leave the hospital alive, yet they still keep the fish for you? " Electrician Wu seized the opportunity to mock him. "Remember this lesson. Be more careful in the future and don't think about taking advantage of others all day!"
Welder Zhao was dejected and sighed. "Sigh, I went for wool and came home shorn. I've suffered a great loss! The hospital even deducted the hospital fees! "
"Don't worry. The money that we've worked so hard to earn will eventually be taken away by the hospital. It's just a matter of time." Electrician Wu was quite open-minded.
"How's Carpenter Wang?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Don't mention it. He's still in the hospital. They said that he needs to be observed for a while. His family was discharged, but they smashed his fish tank and threw it away as soon as they were discharged," Electrician Wu replied.
"What a pity. If you want to throw it, just throw it. Why smash it? Old Wang's fish tank is pretty good … "Welder Zhao said regretfully." I guess that guy Old Wang is definitely not satisfied. Maybe after he's discharged, he'll make a whole tank of fish. "
Everyone present could guess what he was thinking.
"How about this? I'll let you know when I get more fish. I'll give you a discount on the price." Zhang Zian felt that his presence was really disturbing other customers who were quietly shopping, so he wanted to send him away as soon as possible.
"Really? That's great! Store Manager Zhang, you're such a good bro! " Welder Zhao rubbed his palms together happily. "Don't worry. When Old Wang is discharged, I'll bring him here to buy fish. You definitely won't suffer a loss! Old Wang is willing to spend money, so you can just ask for a more expensive price! "
"You're just going to cheat Old Wang like this?" Electrician Wu complained.
Zhang Zian knew that Electrician Wu liked to take advantage of others and brag, so he didn't take his words to heart. He casually agreed, then added, "However, the fish in this shop are all purchased from fishermen at the beach. It's hard to say when we'll be able to receive similar fish. It might take a few days."
"It's okay!" Welder Zhao waved his hand. "Just let me know when it's ready. Anyway, I got a few fish from Old Wang. I'll take care of them first."
He turned his head and said to Electrician Wu, "Wu, let's go. I heard that the aquarium that was shut down is secretly clearing out its stock to minimize losses. Let's hurry and take a look. Maybe we can get something good …"
Because of the Palytoxin incident, the aquarium that sold the Palytoxin corals to Carpenter Wang was jointly investigated by the Public Security Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for being suspected of selling dangerous items. Their business license was revoked. The incident had already spread among the small circle of local aquarium players in Binhai.
In fact, the store manager of the aquarium was quite wronged. He must have been very confused when he was investigated. If he had known, who would dare to sell that thing? It was impossible for him to deliberately sell the Palytoxin corals. He wouldn't have dared to do so even if he had eaten a bear's heart or a leopard's gall. The extremely dangerous corals were most likely attached to live rocks and smuggled into Carpenter Wang's tank.
However, the incident had a bad influence. Someone had to take the blame.
The store manager had the honor of being the scapegoat. Fortunately, it was just closing the store. At worst, he could just change to another line of work. If he was accused of poisoning, he would be in big trouble.
Since the store was suddenly shut down without warning, there were a lot of fish tanks, aquarium equipment, and aquarium creatures in the store. It would be a waste if these things were left to rot in the hands of the owner.
Welder Zhao was introduced to the circle of aquarium players by Carpenter Wang. He heard that the employees of the store were secretly selling these things at extremely low prices, even lower than the cost price. After they were sold, they would go back to their hometown to get married.
The news came out last night, and no one knew whether it was true or not. After hearing the news, some local aquarium players rushed to pick them out overnight. They drove their private cars back one by one to buy them. Buying them was a good deal. The aquarium players from other places expressed their jealousy.
Welder Zhao was a gentleman who didn't take advantage of others. After hearing the news, he couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to fly over and make a "I want them all" gesture.
Electrician Wu looked at Zhang Zian, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He was too lazy to complain about Welder Zhao.
Welder Zhao was so anxious that he didn't allow Electrician Wu to refuse. He dragged him out, as if he was afraid that if he was late, all the good things would be taken away and he would miss the opportunity to take advantage of others.
Zhang Zian wanted to remind him to be more careful and not to buy things that he didn't understand just because they were cheap. However, before he could say anything, the two old men had already left.
