Jersey Lin spent the entire afternoon in the Student Affairs Office changing the optional course. He had a heavy headache when he came back home.
He sees that there're two guests in the living room when he is about to take a shower and go to sleep.
"Hasn't Hunter come back yet?"
"How much longer does he want me to wait? It's not his turn to put on airs. Even his father respected me when he was alive!"
The two guests seem to be in their 40s or 50s. One of them keeps smoking sitting on the sofa and the other is pacing in the living room impatiently.
"Welcome home, Madam."
The maid seems to have seen the saviour when she saw Jersey Lin.
"What's going on?" Jersey Lin asks.
"They are two regular clients of the Chi's. It seems that something has gone wrong with their business with Director Chi this time. They won't leave without seeing Director Chi. I called Director Chi, but he asked me to just leave them alone. It seems that Director Chi won't be come soon. What am I gonna do!"
The maid looks aggrieved. It seems that she has been vituperated by these two regular clients.
"I'll fix it."
Jersey Lin says to her.
The maid is suddenly relieved on hearing this.
"OK. I'll fetch you some tea."
"No..."
Jersey Lin stops her,
"Go get a bottle of rice wine and a bottle of liquor as well."
"Wine?"
The maid is astonished, "But...Director Chi, he..."
"He is not at home. I'm the boss here now. Just go get it!"
Jersey Lin sounds cold.
The maid dares not to say one more word on seeing him like this. She goes to get the wine at once.
After the maid left, Jersey Lin walks into the living room with an amiable face,
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
The two men turn around. But they are displeased on seeing Jersey Lin.
"We won't talk about business with a woman. Where's Hunter? Send him over to talk to us!"
"Hunter is now occupied by work. I'm his wife. You can talk to me."
Jersey makes nothing of the contempt of these two middle-aged men. He sits down in the sofa opposite them carelessly.
At this point, the maid happens to bring the wine over. Jersey Lin opens the wine and pours two the glasses of wine for the two men. Then, he pours a glass of liquor for himself as well,
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Here, I make a toast first as an apology."
After saying this, he tosses off his glass.
The two men stares at each other on seeing Jersey Lin drink up a glass of liquor,
"We didn't expect the wife of Hunter to be able to drink this much. Good! We'll have a drink with you today."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Jersey Lin asks,
"What has gone wrong with your business with Hunter?"
A man suddenly stands up indignantly on hearing this,
"Alas. You have no idea how out of line Hunter is. In the past, his father would be kind and leave some profit margins for us. But now Hunter is always driving a hard bargain. If it goes on like this, we are going to run out business at a loss!"
"Exactly. We've been doing business with the Lin's for more than a decade. Now Hunter is going to hound us to death!"
The more they drink, the more the two men enumerate Hunter Chi's wrong-doings in front of Jersey Lin.
Jersey Lin listens carefully and echoes their words on the key points.
At last, he asks at the perfect timing,
"Have you considered doing business with another company?"
