Chapter 591 Suspension of Business

This day has finally come.

Although Xia Yan had made preparations long ago, he still felt a moment of loneliness when he saw the closed sign in front of the high-end restaurant.

"boss..."

Zhichang wanted to say a few words of comfort, but then he felt that it might be better to keep silent.

"It's okay," Xia Yan raised his head, with the same smile on his face as usual, "If we don't make money, we will go bankrupt. After all, I'm a businessman, and I won't do business at a loss."

"Um..."

But now that high-end restaurants have closed, how can the island attract new customers?

Zhichang turned around and looked towards the food street.

Since high-end restaurants have been attracting fewer and fewer customers, the business of the food court has been getting worse and worse.

The small stall owners realized that something was wrong earlier than them. They all relied on their small businesses to make money to support their families. When business was not doing well, they naturally wanted to find a way out.

So while most people were still waiting and watching, a small group of people had already completed the procedures for canceling their lease.

Now there's a closed sign out front...

Sure enough, not long after the sign appeared, the stall owners in the food street came out and gathered around.

"Boss Xia, are you guys closing down now?"

"Although there are fewer and fewer customers now, there are still new customers, right? Why did you suddenly quit?"

The crowd chattered, one after another, venting their inner anxiety and fear.

If even the most stable holiday hotels can’t continue operating, where can they make money?

In other words, they have to move away from this stable place and adapt to another place. Once this idea comes up, everyone will inevitably panic.

Adapting to a new environment makes people uncomfortable just by listening to it.

"Boss Xia, you have to think of a solution. We all rely on high-end restaurants for our meals. If even you go bankrupt, we will have no way to survive!"

"Boss Xia..."

Surrounded by the crowd, Xia Yan had no choice but to raise his hands high and said, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me."

"Come on, everyone, be quiet and listen to what Boss Xia has to say."

"Yes, she must have a way. We can't stop the business that supports our family!"

Voices of comfort spread out layer by layer, the anxious emotions were forcibly suppressed, and everyone's eyes turned to Xia Yan.

Their nervousness, fear of the future, and even the possibility of struggling to survive again, are all revealed in their eyes and expressions as if they were real.

Xia Yan smiled helplessly, "I know what you're thinking, and I understand. You've all seen that as the outside environment gets better and more stable, resort hotels are no longer everyone's first choice.

“Chuntai Island has been fully built, creating a new era of society. I believe you all know that it is no different from the cities of the past, and life there is even more convenient.

"I want to keep the resort hotel open forever, but I have to adapt to the changing times. If it makes money, I'll keep it open. If it doesn't, how can I keep it open? Everything has expenses."

After all, her identity has always been a businessman.

Who gave her the title of savior? Huh? Come out if you can.

Xia Yan's words were already very straightforward.

But some people still ask: "What will we do if you go bankrupt? We can't survive without customers!"

Xia Yan was so angry that he laughed.

"Come, the big brother who just spoke, please turn around and look."

Everyone turned their heads.

The whole family was moving things out of the store, even loading their food into the car and taking it away.

Xia Yan said: "They have already given up the lease and are planning to open another store in the commercial district of Chuntai Island. If I were you, I would go to Chuntai Island right now to find a location. Didn't General Chu say that there are portals connecting all the major bases?

"Chuntai Island is a transit point, so the flow of people coming and going will be huge. If you go too late, you may only be able to rent a shop in a corner."

The changes in Chuntai Island were indeed seen by everyone, but they had already gotten used to Lidai Island and could not leave this safe and beautiful place for the time being.

But all of this is based on the premise that your own business can earn points and you don’t have to worry about food and drink.

At this time, someone cried out in grief: "Boss Xia, is this really going to go bankrupt?!"

Xia Yan nodded carefully, "Yes."

“Oh my God!”

"Look for another place!"

The scene was filled with cries of grief, and every face was filled with sorrow.

But at this moment, someone suddenly started running, followed by the second and third person.

It was like a drop of water falling into hot oil, causing the oil to splash everywhere, and everyone rushed back.

My previous confusion about where to live tomorrow immediately became clear - a shop, I would go to Chuntai Island to rent one.

They have earned a lot of points on Lidai Island over the years, enough for them to make another effort.

Just like Xia Yan said before, this is a transit station, and everyone has to pass through Chuntai Island, and it will be even harder to find a shop in the future!

"Boss." Zhichang approached her, "Xiongxiong and I will come here to clean up later."

Xia Yan raised his head. The scenery of Lidai Island has always been beautiful.

The sky is blue, the water is clear, and the beach is fine and soft.

It was originally a place to enjoy vacation.

"Okay, Xiaowan and I will come over to help then."

The rental department was very busy in the next few days. The remaining points in the customer cards needed to be exchanged for crystal core payments, which meant that Xia Yan had to be present.

Xia Yan took out the crystal cores that he had stored in the past but had not had time to recharge into points.

"I still have 20 points left. How about you go to the supermarket and buy something?"

How do I pay for this small change? I can't just cut the core into several small pieces, right?

Thankfully, the customer understood, "That's fine. I just need to buy some toilet paper, so I don't need to give you the change."

"By the way," Xia Yan stopped him, "apply for cancellation after clearing the account."

"Ah? This—"

The customer's face turned red with embarrassment. He thought his thoughts had been seen through, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and jump into it.

"From today on, the takeaway business will gradually stop. There's no point in keeping the empty card. Why don't you do me a favor and apply for cancellation." Xia Yan leaned back, breathing slowly.

"Well, alright then."

After saying this, the customer looked at the ground and hurried away.

The people behind lined up and came forward one by one.

The crystal core rubbed against each other, and when it was almost empty, the street lights outside came on.

After seeing off the last customer, Xia Yan stretched out his body.

She opened the backend, checked all the card cancellation applications sent to her, and clicked to agree.

With just a few simple actions, the number of hotel membership cards has dropped sharply.

Xia Yan took all the initiative and checked the cancellation box for all the points cards that had not been recharged for a long time and were no longer used.

After doing this, she got up and left.

The night sky of Lidai Island is bright, the waves are flowing slowly, and the street lights cast a ball of orange light on both sides of the road.

It's quiet everywhere.
