It's clearly in KTV...

"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhenyu saw that her big sister's expression seemed a little strange, so she waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, I didn't suffer any loss just now. They can't beat me.

Good products are the most important thing. The medicinal wine in our store is so effective that we don’t have to worry about lacking customers. It doesn’t matter if a few of them are gone…”

She really didn't suffer any loss at all. Her elder sister was outnumbered and had a debate with the crowd. Instead, the few people who came were driven away... Cheng Zhenzhu pursed her lips, put the things in her hand on the counter, and silently took a knife to cut a watermelon, one piece for her elder sister and one for herself.

Cheng Zhenyu took the watermelon and saw that her eldest sister looked indifferent and indifferent, so she couldn't help but ask again, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, do you think there have been any recent changes in the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants here?" Cheng Zhenzhu took a bite of melon and asked instead of answering.

"What changes have you made? Isn't it going downhill? Now with the reform and opening up, things are readily available and there's no need to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Naturally, the shops in front of the cooperatives are deserted..." Cheng Zhenyu didn't know why her elder sister asked this. She thought it was because she hadn't been to Hai City for a long time and felt that the changes were too great, so she explained it to her.

As he spoke, Cheng Zhenyu also interjected a few words about Zhenbao's affairs.

Big thing!

"Big sister, there's something! Didn't Zhenbao hire two winemaking masters before, spending a lot of money? And guess what happened? Master Liu has a bad temper and doesn't get along with the old Chinese medicine doctor we hired later. He refuses to do anything we ask him to do.

We had a fight a while ago, and Master Liu smashed two cans of wine and said he was leaving to strike out on his own. As he left, he was all snarky, saying we were like blind men doing somersaults—ridiculous, and even wishing us success...

Bah! That old man is so evil!

Now, whenever they go out, they say bad things about our store. Within a week, they copied our brand, using the same bottles and selling wine like us. Who would believe them if they said they didn't have other intentions?

Big sister, you don’t know, the people who came today kept saying “The wine brewed by Lao Liu’s family is no worse than ours”, “The wine brewed by Lao Liu’s family is cheap”... They all call him Master Liu, don’t you think I’m angry?

Fortunately, the recipe is strictly controlled by Zhenbao, otherwise, that damn old prostitute would have taken advantage of it..." Speaking of this unpleasant thing, Cheng Zhenyu's face was full of resentment.

I didn't expect something like this to happen during this time... Cheng Zhenzhu thought about it and asked her elder sister, "Sister, I remember we should have signed an agreement when we hired this person, right?"

"Signed, signed, signed for one year first. I even specially found the vice president of our Hai City Bar Association. Fifty dollars a month! How can I treat him unfairly?

This awful old man is so heartless and useless, he's really driving me crazy!" Cheng Zhenyu cursed as she took out a document from an iron box in the cabinet.

Cheng Zhenzhu flipped through the agreement. "Sister, let's not talk about the copycat issue for now. The agreement hasn't expired yet, and there's a confidentiality clause. Mr. Liu breached the contract first, so according to the agreement, we can ask him to compensate for the losses."

"Yes, we made him pay, and we got some skin off. But now he's selling liquor under a brand that looks a bit like ours, and even the lawyers can't do anything to him..."

Cheng Zhenyu felt so angry when she thought about this disgusting thing. Fortunately, her elder sister asked her to complete all the formalities, otherwise she would have suffered so much loss!

Being able to peel off some skin is not bad. In this era, people's legal awareness is relatively weak and needs to be improved... "There is no rush for this matter. What is fake cannot be real, and what is real cannot be fake."

Cheng Zhenzhu was quite confident in her own wine. After all, it was produced by the system, so no one else could imitate it...

After finishing a piece of melon, Cheng Zhenzhu remembered that her elder sister seemed to have led her off topic, so she changed the subject again, "Sister, I'm angry, but I still feel that what happened today was not appropriate..."

Just like when we buy things, we buy for pleasure. When customers come to our store to buy something, they're also buying a service. Whether or not to sell, and how much to sell, is truly our business. But whether or not to buy, and whether or not to think it's too expensive, is also their freedom.

The supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants have become deserted, but the salespeople and waiters are becoming more and more enthusiastic. I don't need to tell you, I'm sure you understand the reason...

"After all, we earn our customers' money. If they buy, we just pay and receive the goods, and do business well. If they don't buy, we just respect each other..." Cheng Zhenzhu told her elder sister her thoughts.

Buying and selling is a matter of mutual consent. Everyone has their own opinions and ideas, as well as their own rights. No one will be happy if their wishes, ideas, and opinions are imposed on others.

"I know, I know. You always emphasize that you need to be service-minded..." As expected, her elder sister was still worried about what happened earlier. Cheng Zhenyu felt a little aggrieved.

She honestly doesn't think it's expensive! The stuff is good, and it's been painstakingly made, so twenty-five bucks for such a big jar isn't enough for her?!

But as the saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal.

Her eldest sister is in charge of these rules and regulations now, and she seems to know the ins and outs, so it's okay to listen to her for a while...

Now that I think about it, kicking customers out is really against the money.

"Big sister, I was really angry today. I won't expose their shortcomings in the future... But big sister, if you tell me something like, 'Customers are God,' I don't want to hear that. Let's respect each other!"

Cheng Zhenyu felt that she could never be as good-tempered as the little Yingzi hired by the store.

"Yes, respect each other." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded.

To be honest, she was a little surprised that her elder sister accepted her opinion so quickly. But anyway, this matter was a preliminary consensus, which was good...

Cheng Zhenzhu wiped her hands and asked her elder sister for paper and pen.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll write something more. Let's discuss this together. If we want our store to grow bigger and stronger, we need to be more standardized."

"You write it. If it's okay, I'll stay." Cheng Zhenyu refused to discuss and went to eat melons.

Her eldest sister was originally responsible for these rules and regulations, otherwise she would not bother to listen to so many things! Anyway, now she just collects the money!

In the afternoon, Cheng Zhenbao was humphed at as soon as he came out of the winery.
