Zhou Chuan regarded Zhang Xiaoxiao as his strategist, unaware that he was merely a tool in Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes, used only to extract more benefits from her.
In just three days, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's milk tea shop achieved a net profit of over 1,000 yuan.
Because they vigorously promoted the milk tea industry as highly profitable and cultivated an image of a conscientious company, and coincidentally, their milk tea tasted similar to that of Mi Xue Ice Cream, they quickly attracted some repeat customers.
Not only that, Zhou Ling learned to hire people to queue up, creating the illusion that their business was more popular, and spared no effort in promoting that their milk tea was genuine.
Some customers with limited funds are not very interested in who sells the genuine product; they only care about who sells it cheaper.
Thanks to Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's three-pronged approach, their business began to surpass Zhou Chen's milk tea shop.
Seeing that their shop was constantly filled with customers, while Zhou Chen's milk tea shop was doing very poor business, the two felt extremely smug.
"Honey, if this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before Zhou Chen's business is destroyed. You should proactively tell Secretary Wang about this, but don't be too deliberate, so as not to seem like you're showing off."
Zhao Kun reminded him.
Zhou Ling nodded and said proudly, "I will let Dad know that I am his best daughter and the one who is most like him."
"By the way, has anything happened with your second sister these past few days? And what's your fourth brother doing?"
Zhao Kun suddenly changed the subject.
When Zhou Na was mentioned, Zhou Ling shook her head: "I asked my fourth brother, and he didn't know either. Zhou Na has never done business before, and her experience is not as good as ours. Even if Dad gives her financial support, she probably won't know how to do business. If she saw how well we run our milk tea business, she would definitely be very envious."
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling once again had the urge to show off to Zhou Na.
Next, Zhou Ling mentioned that Zhou Chuan was currently dating a girl from Yenching University and had no plans to go into business.
“Actually, I think the biggest threat is not Zhou Na, but Zhou Chuan. He is the only boy among you three siblings, and he is the most qualified to inherit your father’s property. If he works hard and strives for success, I'm afraid neither you nor Zhou Na will have any hope of competing. It’s best for you that he is currently idle. Otherwise, we would have to find a way to make him lose his inheritance rights.”
As Zhao Kun said this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Kun, you're not planning to harm Fourth Brother, are you?"
Zhou Ling suddenly raised her voice by eight octaves.
"Do you want to get nothing out of your father's assets? Don't forget, your father is a big boss in Hong Kong. Although I don't know exactly how much money he has, the wealth he has to be able to establish himself in a place like Hong Kong is beyond our imagination."
If Zhou Chuan inherits all the property, how much do you think he'll leave you? Even if he's willing, will he give you a continuous stream of money? Even if he intends to, what about later? When he gets married and starts a family, will his wife be willing? Therefore, it's better for you to inherit your father's property, no matter who inherits it from.
Once we have substantial capital, we can not only improve our lives but also better get revenge on Zhou Chen. So, wife, you must fight for it, you must be ruthless. Which emperor in ancient times wasn't ruthless to ascend to the throne? You will be no different.”
Zhou Ling fell into deep thought after hearing Zhao Kun's words.
To be honest, she found it hard to bring herself to attack Zhou Chuan, since he was, after all, her fourth brother.
But she was unwilling to let Zhou Chuan inherit the family fortune.
"Brother Kun, it's not that time yet. Let's talk about it when that day really comes, okay?"
"Actually, I did all this for your own good. After all, we're family. Zhou Chuan treats you like a sister now, but who knows if he'll turn his back on you later? We have to be prepared for the worst."
Zhao Kun explained that he actually wanted to give Zhou Ling a heads-up so that she wouldn't stop him if that day really came.
Moreover, he could tell that Zhou Ling was somewhat persuaded by him, but she hadn't made up her mind yet.
To the couple's surprise,
The night before, they had talked about Zhou Na, and the next day, Zhou Na took the initiative to appear in front of them and come to their shop to buy milk tea.
Upon seeing Zhou Na, Zhou Ling immediately felt the urge to show off. She deliberately boasted in front of Zhou Na about how good the business was and how much money she made.
Seeing the look of surprise flash in Zhou Na's eyes,
Zhou Ling was extremely pleased with herself, feeling that she had finally gotten her revenge. But before she could be happy for even three seconds, Zhou Na's words made her face freeze instantly.
“You shouldn’t use a similar shop name to his. You’ve copied too much. You should have your own original ideas. Doing this could very well get you into big trouble.”
After Zhou Na finished speaking, she threw down the money for the milk tea and turned to leave.
"What do you mean? You're just envious and jealous of me. You feel uncomfortable seeing me doing well, so you want to curse me. How could you be so wicked!"
After regaining her senses, Zhou Ling immediately shouted at Zhou Na's retreating figure.
However, Zhou Na disappeared into the street without pausing for a moment.
At this moment, Zhao Kun rushed over from home and saw Zhou Ling looking angry. He asked what had happened, and after listening to Zhou Ling's description, Zhao Kun frowned slightly.
"Brother Kun, I think she's just jealous of me. She's someone who's never even run a business, what right does she have to give me pointers? Does she really think she knows everything just because she's studied for a few years? Who does she think she is, some kind of know-it-all?"
Zhou Ling didn't care at all.
“Wife, you’re right. We’re not as good as her in academics, but we’re really not as good as her in business. We’re not copying her completely; we just make everything similar to Secret Snow Ice City. There’s no law against copying her, is there?”
After thinking it over, Zhao Kun couldn't find anything wrong and concluded that it was probably due to Zhou Na's jealousy.
after all,
Their business is really doing well now.
Zhou Na knew she was facing a test from Zhou Haide, but she hadn't yet delivered a satisfactory answer. Seeing how well they were doing, it was normal for her to feel envious.
On the other end,
Zhou Na wasn't angry at Zhou Ling's words; she was immune to her foolish younger sister, Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling's milk tea sales were indeed quite good, but Zhou Ling thought that this would allow her to beat Zhou Chen and steal Zhou Chen's business. Zhou Na thought Zhou Ling was a bit naive.
She believed that Zhou Chen's complete lack of reaction was precisely the strongest possible reaction.
Zhou Chen must be playing his cards secretly. By the time Zhou Ling finds out, it will be too late to turn the tide. She couldn't help but want to remind him, but Zhou Ling thought she was just being envious and jealous.
Time will prove me right.
Having gone through so much, Zhou Na knew that Zhou Chen was not someone to be trifled with, and he would not sit idly by and wait to be killed. She knew that Zhou Ling would suffer sooner or later if she didn't listen to advice, and she had a premonition that Zhou Chen's counterattack was about to come.
However, she couldn't imagine or guess exactly what Zhou Chen would do.
