Chapter 1509 The Owner of Red Fragrant Cake Has Arrived

Since Shu Yu wants to poach people, it wouldn't be appropriate to talk to Wei Ronghua directly at his shop. It would be better to go to his house and have a private chat.

She had also inquired and learned that Wei Ronghua's home was not far from Hongxianggao, and that he had a twelve or thirteen-year-old daughter.

She first met with Wei Ronghua's daughter and asked her to call the person back.

Shu Yu had a good plan, but she hadn't gone far from the shop when three people walked angrily toward her.

The leader was a man in his mid-twenties, dressed in fine clothes, but his face was extremely pale.

He walked very fast, and almost bumped into Shu Yu as he passed by her.

Forget about eating her pastries, Yingxi angrily exclaimed, "Doesn't this person watch where they're going?"

The man clearly didn't hear, and Shu Yu didn't care, since they hadn't bumped into each other.

Just as she was about to continue walking forward, she heard Feng Sunzi's obsequious voice behind her, "Master, you've arrived."

Shu Yu paused, narrowed her eyes slightly, and turned around. Sure enough, she saw the man stride into the Red Fragrance Cake Shop.

Yingxi was also taken aback. "Miss, that man seems to be Manager Wei's new employer. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have any good intentions."

Shu Yu agreed; this new employer seemed to be looking for trouble.

She turned her heel and said, "Let's go back and take a look."

The two returned to Hongxiang Cake Shop. Just as they reached the door, they heard the new owner angrily questioning them, "Wei Ronghua, what do you mean? Are you ignoring what I said? I told you, our shop's direction has changed, it's not the same as before. As the manager, your job is to carry out my instructions, not to act on your own and let just anyone in."

Wei Ronghua came out from behind the counter, his expression unchanged, but he only glanced at the smug Feng Sunzi.

He said calmly, "I don't know what the boss is talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me. I've already said the price of hibiscus cake is fifty coins. And you? Didn't a mother and daughter come in yesterday, and you told them it was thirty coins? What, are you going to make up for the losses the shop suffers? Also, who gave them permission to sample the hibiscus cake? You cut off two pieces in one go, that's half a hibiscus cake, and you're charging twenty-five coins for it. Do you really think this shop is yours, that you can just say whatever you want?"

Wei Ronghua frowned slightly. "Boss, we're still discussing the price of the hibiscus cake. I've always disagreed with raising it to fifty coins. It's not finalized yet; other customers are paying thirty coins. Also, tasting pastries has always been a shop rule. There's no reason why customers should be allowed to..."

Before he could finish speaking, the employer waved his hand and said, "Shut up! At this critical moment, you're still trying to argue. Do you even know what you did wrong?"

Wei Ronghua pursed her lips. By this time, quite a few people had gathered around the door after hearing the commotion.

Shu Yu and Ying Xi were in the crowd when Ying Xi whispered, "Miss, shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed privately behind closed doors? It's really inappropriate to do it in front of so many people."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "I think this Ge Dongjia did it on purpose. Didn't you see that as soon as there were more people, he told Wei Ronghua to shut up and stop discussing the pricing? Thirty or fifty coins? He was just using it as an excuse to start something. Just listen, he'll start pointing out other mistakes Wei Ronghua made in a little while."
