Chapter 284 One Step Ahead

After Xu Yanchen was beaten away, Zhang Juexia sat on the chair and sulked.

After Yang Zhi came in, he was also a little worried, "Madam, before we opened the shop, I did my homework. The Xu family is also a big family in Shunhe County that can compete with the Li family.

Although that Xu guy deserves to be beaten, by doing this today, I'm afraid we've really made enemies with the Xu family."

"Even if we really make friends with this kind of person, I don't think he will be sincere to us. It's better to break up with him.

However, from now on, when you do business, be careful not to fall into their trap."

"I understand. These black-hearted people, if they can't get what they want, they'll probably plot behind your back."

"Just because we don't cause trouble doesn't mean we're afraid of it. As long as they dare to plot, we won't be afraid of them.

Brother Yang, please ask Daniu to stop what he is doing and go out with me."

"OK."

Zhang Juexia went directly to Zuixianlou. When the shopkeeper Chen Quan saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and welcomed her into the private room.

"Why are you free today?"

"I came here just because I wanted to. I wonder if Shopkeeper Chen is free?"

Chen Quan understood that Zhang Juexia had something to say, and quickly responded, "When I'm free, when I'm free."

The waiter brought tea, and only Zhang Juexia and Chen Quan were left in the private room.

Zhang Juexia wasn't the type to beat around the bush, so he said directly, "I'm talking about a business matter, and I'd like to discuss it with Shopkeeper Chen."

"I am all ears."

Zhang Juexia organized his words in his mind and said everything he wanted to say in one breath.

Chen Quan had been unable to contain his excitement for a long time. No wonder the magpies on the branches started chirping non-stop as soon as he got up today!

Without even a second thought, he said, "It's all up to you. I'll give the order right away. Have them write the deed and we'll sign it."

Chen Quan's straightforwardness left Zhang Juexia stunned. "Don't you think about it? I actually have a lot of requests. It's just a recipe, but I want a 40% share of the profits, and I want your restaurant to use our products.

The most important thing is that you are not the only ones, I can open a shop somewhere else."

Chen Quan thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Ye is also a straightforward person, so I will tell you the truth. The people served by your fried chicken shop and our restaurant are completely different.

You also said that you will only open this one store in Shunhe County. As for opening other stores in other places, it will not have any impact on my Zuixianlou.

Also, regarding the matter of using your stuff, I asked my waiter to queue up and buy your fried chicken that day. I tasted it while it was hot, and I think your ingredients are very good.

The fried chicken tastes tender and juicy, and the meat is firm.

Besides, I heard that many families in our county buy eggs from your family.

As long as you can guarantee the quality, I'm willing to do you a favor."

Zhang Juexia was filled with admiration after hearing what Chen Quan said. "Manager Chen is truly a role model for us to learn from."

"I don't deserve it. I'm old, and my brain isn't as sharp as you young people.

So, you can come up with something like fried chicken, but I can't.

But if you open a restaurant, you also need to know how to innovate.

As an old man, I have no choice but to go and beg you with a shameless face.

Fortunately, you gave me face, otherwise... "

Chen Quan's humility made Zhang Juexia feel that today's decision was right.

After the deed was written, both parties read it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and signed their names.

"I will have the fried chicken menu listed separately in the accounts. We will check the accounts every six months and share the profits.

This way, it will be convenient for both you and me.”

"Thank you very much! Is it convenient for Mr. Chen? Can I take a look at your menu?"

Chen Quan asked the waiter to bring a menu and hand it to Zhang Juexia.

Zhang Juexia flipped through the book carefully and thought for a moment, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Chen is interested. I want to give you a dish."

Shopkeeper Chen became interested and said, "Okay, okay!"

Zhang Juexia handed Chen Quan the menu for Sichuan pepper chicken. "You can ask the chef to try it. If you have any questions, come and see me."

Chen Quanzi was extremely grateful to Zhang Juexia.

He wanted to keep Zhang Juexia for dinner, but how could Zhang Juexia agree? After saying a few polite words, he took Da Niu and left Zuixianlou.

Daniel was full of questions and finally got the chance.

"Madam, Shopkeeper Chen has been nagging you for a long time, but you didn't respond. How come you responded today?"

"This is a different time. I also need to think of a way out for our future.

Our fried chicken business has become a hot commodity, and everyone wants to get involved.

Then I'll get there first and do things in advance.

If someone wants to share, I can earn more."

Daniu scratched his head, not quite understanding what was going on. "Ma'am, I'm almost dizzy."

"Then forget about it. As long as I don't faint, that's all that matters."

Zhang Juexia finally put his worries to rest and felt much more relaxed. He asked Da Niu to accompany him for a stroll in the county town before returning home.

Liu Wanyue was sitting in the sedan chair and saw Zhang Juexia shopping through the gap in the curtains.

Only then did she remember that they had not yet finished discussing what they had discussed that day.

When she wanted to ask the sedan bearers to stop, she remembered Chen Ren's instructions, so she withdrew her gaze and urged the sedan bearers to walk faster.

After the sedan came to a complete stop, Liu Wanyue couldn't wait to send someone to the front yamen, "Call the master quickly, I have something to say to him."

In the front yamen, Chen Ren was imagining the future with his legal advisor Li Xu.

Since returning from Yejia Village, Chen Ren has regained enough confidence in his career.

"Master, the matter of Yejia Village is really God's help to me!"

Li Xu's face was also filled with smiles. "Sir, please make good use of this opportunity. It will definitely help you get promoted."

"I have decided to go to the capital tomorrow and report to Lord Liu Cheng everything Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia did in Yejia Village."

"Master Liu has always had high hopes for you, but last time we were struggling with a lack of achievements, which caused you to miss the opportunity for promotion."

"Not this time."

After hearing the maid's report, Chen Ren gave Li Xu a few instructions and went to the back court.

Liu Wanyue and Chen Ren have been married for many years and have long understood his personality. Seeing him smiling, she knew that he was in a good mood today.

In this case, there is no need to beat around the bush when speaking.

Liu Wanyue got straight to the point, "Master, you've been to Yejia Village too. How much profit will we get from cooperating with Zhang Juexia in business?

I passed by the fried chicken shop again today. The long queue was really enviable!

If we had made a decision earlier, the money would have flowed into our pockets earlier."

Chen Ren frowned and said in annoyance, "Madam, who told you this? I want to cooperate with Zhang Juexia and share her money."

"Didn't the master go to Yejia Village in person to check how much of the family property she could divide?"
