Zhou Ling had been waiting for Zhou Chuan to make a move, but Zhou Chuan hadn't called her yet, which made her both puzzled and curious.

"Fourth brother, why haven't you made a move yet?"

"Third sister, yesterday I was planning to follow your advice and go to Zhou Chen to demand a hundredfold compensation, as well as that one million yuan. I even found some onlookers to cooperate. But I felt that making a scene by myself wouldn't be big enough, so I told my second sister about it and wanted her to do it with me. You know..."

But my second sister advised me to hold back for now and let others try, to see how Zhou Chen would respond, before making any adjustments. I think my second sister is right. That bastard Zhou Chen is too cunning; we can't be careless. We've lost to him so many times before, we must be careful, otherwise we'll just become a laughing stock again.

"Fourth brother, you did the right thing, but you must remember that we are on the same side. Don't let her use you as a pawn. She is much smarter than us. If she makes any moves, you must tell me immediately."

"Third sister, don't worry. The fact that Zhou Haide only lied to the two of us and not to Second sister means that we have to stick together. I'm getting closer to Second sister just to get some information from her so that we can prepare in advance."

"I'm relieved that you think this way, Fourth Brother."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ling was very satisfied with Zhou Chuan's explanation. Although she suspected that Zhou Chuan might be lying to her, she thought that they had both lost a kidney because of Zhou Haide, and that Zhou Haide valued Zhou Na. There was no reason for Zhou Chuan not to team up with her and get closer to Zhou Na. After all, Zhou Haide was their common enemy, and Zhou Na, who was valued by Zhou Haide, could also be considered an enemy.

"It's not bad for the fourth brother to be lurking by her side."

Zhou Ling muttered to herself, "In this way, Zhou Chuan will know as soon as possible what kind of support Zhou Haide is giving Zhou Na."

But immediately,

A hint of regret flashed across Zhou Ling's face. She had wanted Zhou Chuan to be the one to take the lead and make a scene, but Zhou Na had interfered.

Zhou Na ruined her plans.

If Zhou Chuan goes to Zhou Chen for a hundredfold compensation and succeeds, she can do the same and ask for benefits. If he fails, it's no big deal; she can adjust her approach based on Zhou Chuan's experience of failure.

Although she was somewhat disappointed, Zhou Ling didn't take it to heart.

Because she knew that there was someone else who would also take action against Zhou Chen, and that this person was more powerful than them.

The thought of that person made Zhou Ling's feelings even more complicated.

On the other end,

Zhou Chuan sneered.

He deliberately pushed Zhou Na forward as a shield; in reality, he simply didn't want to do it himself.

Of course, he wasn't lying; he did tell Zhou Na the same thing, just with slightly different words.

"Third sister, you want to play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and make me be the mantis? How could I, Zhou Chuan, be so stupid?"

"I won't cooperate with you. If you want to hate someone, hate Zhou Na instead."

...

The impact of Zhou Chen's proposed 100 times compensation and 1 million yuan reward continues.

Whether it's Secret Snow Ice City or Pin Chou Fang, customers line up every day, keeping the staff extremely busy and never free.

This booming scene is a good thing for any business.

However, Xu Dalong, Li Kaile, Lu Ye, and others all knew that the fundamental reason for such a booming business was that consumers were drawn by the promise of 100 times compensation and a million-dollar reward.

This is a huge test for them; if they fail to control product quality, the losses will be enormous.

Therefore,

Everyone took it 200% seriously and rigorously, subjecting the product to extremely strict supervision.

The person under the most pressure is not Xu Dalong, Li Kaile, or Lu Ye, but Wu Yuxue, because the two-dollar store has too many kinds of products, which means that the probability of product problems increases greatly.

This led Wu Yuxue to repeatedly call Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen knew that Wu Yuxue was under a lot of pressure.

He proposed a solution: all manufacturers cooperating with two-dollar stores must make a commitment that the quality of their products will not be compromised.

Of course, Zhou Chen knew that doing this would definitely displease all the partner manufacturers, but for manufacturers who wanted to build a brand, it was an opportunity. As long as they could withstand the test, the brand would gain a good reputation. For truly ambitious manufacturers, it was an opportunity, after all, Zhou Chen's reputation was there, plus the huge traffic he had now. If they gave up the cooperation, they would lose a lot of orders.

Zhou Chen wasn't particularly concerned about the two-dollar store business. It was a coincidence that he started the business. Weeding out the unserious partners suited his purposes perfectly. Those who remained were all confident in themselves and genuinely wanted to get things done.

Zhou Chen had an idea about two-dollar stores; he thought it would be possible to create a carefully selected goods store.

By carefully selecting manufacturers, consumers can be guaranteed protection, and partner manufacturers can also build their reputation, achieving a win-win situation.

This is also the main reason why Zhou Chen reassured Wu Yuxue.

Zhou Chen's business has remained popular for a long time.

Because some media outlets started reporting on it proactively, it was like giving Zhou Chen free advertising.

Especially milk tea,

Zhou Chen laid a lot of groundwork in the early stages of his milk tea business, not only in terms of product taste, but also in terms of store decoration, corporate culture, and employee quality. He took a comprehensive approach.

This promotion has successfully broadened its reach and made it a favorite among young people.

A saying has even started circulating online: "Mi Xue Ice City is the Starbucks of the Chinese people."

This has led to a sudden influx of people wanting to get a piece of the pie into the milk tea business, and new milk tea shops can now be clearly seen opening on the streets.

The bubble tea craze seems to have started ahead of schedule!

Zhou Chen hadn't expected this at all.

Zhou Chen's business is booming.

Zhou Ling saw everything. Naturally, she was extremely unhappy, but she wasn't particularly angry because she knew the real reason why so many people bought Zhou Chen's things.

If these people bring out quality products, and things aren't handled properly, Zhou Chen's business could go bankrupt overnight.

Zhou Ling believes that the higher you stand, the harder you fall, and Zhou Chen will definitely pay a heavy price for daring to make such boastful remarks.

While Zhou Ling waited and waited...

Instead of receiving any demands for compensation or rewards, they received a phone call from Li Xiaolong.

After hanging up the phone,

Zhou Ling's face was full of joy because Li Xiaolong wanted to keep his promise and decided to help her connect with people, so he gave her a spot to attend a high-end business banquet.

"Brother Kun, our chance has come. It is said that many big bosses will be attending this banquet. If we can befriend one of them, it may be able to turn our lives around."
