Chapter 435 Deliberately Targeting Chu Yue
That morning, when Chu Yue brought Ye Zhaodi and Lu Yuanbao to the store again, the commercial street was already crowded with people, three layers inside and three layers outside, making the road blocked.
Chu Yue looked at the bustling scene and smiled. "This is quite a big event, even more exaggerated than the opening of the Pei family's cake shop. I'm afraid they even invited people from the neighboring village."
Ye Zhaodi was worried and frowned as she said, "Sister Yue, how can you still smile after such a bad situation?"
Because the more people there are, the more it proves that the business of the store opposite is good, which is constantly squeezing the living space of Chuyue Grocery Store.
Chu Yue was still smiling. "If I don't laugh, should I cry? Zhao Di, today Sister Yue will teach you one more thing: people who love to laugh will have good luck. Go open the door. The store is busy anyway, so take your time and don't rush."
She also warned Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, there are too many people on the street. They might accidentally bump into you. It's very dangerous. You should go in with Zhaodi and just sit inside to watch the show."
Watching a play, watching a play again?
This was not the first time Lu Yuanbao heard these two words from Chu Yue. Since even Chu Yue was not worried, he had nothing to worry about.
Lu Yuanbao even comforted Ye Zhaodi, "Sister Zhaodi, let's go in. Mom will take care of the rest. Mom just told us to put out the tables and benches and light the coal stove. Do you remember?"
"I remember, I remember. Of course I remember what Sister Yue told me to do. I also have to wash the vegetables, boil water, and even prepare the onions, ginger, and garlic..."
Ye Zhaodi said this, but she was still confused in her heart.
Is Chu Yue preparing to fight back, or... preparing to eat?
Ye Zhaodi and Lu Yuanbao were both full of doubts, but they worked very efficiently. Lu Yuanbao helped even with a crutch, and did everything Chu Yue asked for.
Chu Yue continued to stand in the crowd and watch the fun. Some of the people watching knew Chu Yue.
"Isn't this Boss Chu? He's opened a new store. Are you here to buy something?"
"Boss Chu, there's nothing in the store. Why is she buying anything? Is Boss Chu just here to watch the fun?"
"Boss Chu, please don't be offended by our old customers' harsh words. They're having a discount at the store. A dollar of soy sauce is now only 60 cents, which is a 40 cents discount! If I buy ten dollars, I can save four dollars. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of such a great deal?"
These are all familiar customers of the grocery store. They come here every two or three days, but recently they haven't come to buy anything for almost a week.
When they met Chu Yue, some people avoided her gaze awkwardly and pretended not to see her, while others were straightforward and told her everything.
Chu Yue said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Everyone wants to buy cheap and good things, I want it too. It's normal to compare prices. Just buy the one you like. Next time you come to our store, we will treat you the same as before."
"Boss Chu, you are so generous. You are a man who knows how to do business! I am sure your money will roll in and your business will get better and better."
During the conversation, other voices were heard.
"Chu Meizi! Chu Meizi! Chu Meizi! It really is Chu Meizi. I thought I was seeing things."
Chu Yue turned around and saw the familiar sisters-in-law in the compound. After all, such a lively event, how could they be absent from the crowd?
Someone approached and asked directly, "Ms. Chu, is this new store really offering 40% off everything? Everything is 40% off?"
"Li Dahua, are you crazy? How can you ask Miss Chu such a question?"
There are also smart ones among the sisters-in-law. After all, the two stores sell the same things and are door to door, competing face to face. They used to get a lot of benefits from Chuyue's store as neighbors in the same compound, but now they turn around and go to other people's stores. It is really not good.
Most people smiled embarrassedly at Chu Yue.
Some people with low emotional intelligence murmured, "It's the same store, and the store across the street sells it so cheaply. Will Miss Chu's store go bankrupt?"
"What do you mean by bankrupt? Your family is bankrupt."
Chen Fengying pushed the man aggressively, pushing him away a little, then turned to Chu Yue and said.
"Sister Chu, don't listen to what they say. They're only busy for the first few days, but after that, things will be back to normal. Your business will come back. Your products are of such high quality that you won't have to worry about selling them!"
Chu Yue patted Chen Fengying's hand, indicating that she didn't care and it didn't matter.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "It's started! It's started! It's started!"
I don’t know if the new store across the street did it on purpose, but it was almost noon, but the store hadn’t started its opening ceremony yet. Instead, after seeing Chu Yue’s store open, the opening ceremony started all of a sudden.
The opening ceremony was so lively, with not only the beating of drums and gongs and setting off firecrackers, but also a yangko dance team, it was definitely a big show.
But the real show is just the beginning.
"How many firecrackers were set off... My ears are buzzing..."
"This boss is really rich, to have built something so big... Even operas in my hometown aren't this lively..."
"Look, look! The boss is here! The owner of the new shop is here! Who on earth is this person so rich and powerful..."
The lively scene at the beginning lasted for about half an hour, and Chu Yue was almost losing her patience. The sound of firecrackers finally stopped, the smoke dissipated, and the main event began.
As the crowd stood on tiptoe to watch, they finally got to see the mysterious boss's true face.
Then, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Ah—why is it a woman?"
"What woman? The owner of such a big store is actually a woman? How is it possible? Where do so many women come from?"
"What a woman... She looks a little familiar... Come and take a look, doesn't she look familiar?"
The sisters-in-law stood on tiptoe one by one and looked towards the center of the crowd. They saw a glamorous woman who exuded a noble aura.
"—Then—isn't she Comrade He?"
Chen Fengying was the first to recognize He Meijiao. She screamed uncontrollably and stared at He Meijiao with wide eyes in fear.
It wasn't surprise, but horror.
"What Comrade He? Comrade He has been away from our barracks for almost half a year. She has long since returned to the capital to enjoy her life. How could she still be here?"
"If you don't believe me, look for yourself. That must be Comrade Xiao He? Who else could that face be besides He Meijiao?"
"It's...it's really Comrade He. How did Comrade He suddenly open a shop and become the boss?"
"Same street, same location, still face to face, competing for business, still selling the same things..."
As the sisters-in-law were talking, they all turned to look at Chu Yue, with a look of dazed surprise, worry and pity in their eyes.
Because they have now understood that He Meijiao's purpose of opening this store is not necessarily to do business, but to deliberately target Chu Yue.
The war between the two women continues for a man they failed to get.
