Cao Wenshan nodded, feeling annoyed. He figured it was probably because he had been influenced by preconceived notions recently, and had been told too many bad things about Chen Ji by Mu Chun and others, which made him hesitant and timid.
“The boss is right, avoiding it is not the solution, I was being too attached to it,” Cao Wenshan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Qin Sanniang waved her hand and said earnestly, "Accountant Cao, there's no need to be like this. Just remember that our Ruyi brand will become more and more famous. When it's renowned far and wide, you won't be so timid anymore. But before that, you must take it one step at a time."
Furthermore, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either! So don't worry about others using underhanded tactics. If we're truly outmatched, we'll accept the defeat gracefully and without self-blame, because there are always stronger people out there. If anyone tries anything malicious, I'll do my best to protect everyone.
Cao Wenshan and Da Wa looked stern, as if they had been injected with immense power, certain that their Ruyi business would only get better and better.
It was at this moment that Cao Wenshan realized that Qin Sanniang was actually like a successful businesswoman who could navigate the business world with ease; such demeanor was truly extraordinary.
Lu Song was also full of ambition at this moment. He vaguely remembered that his grandparents hoped he would become a person with ideas. When he was a child, he did not know what ideas and perseverance were. Now he seemed to understand. He would work hard with Brother Da Wa and make Ruyi's brand famous. If he could travel all over the country and become well-known, his family might be able to find him.
In the vast sea of people, Lu Song had felt frustrated and disappointed, wondering when he would be able to find his relatives. But instead of searching aimlessly, he thought it would be better to stand on a high place so that his grandfather and the others could see him.
From then on, Lu Song's goal was to be a good guard and steward for Da Wa, and he made this his lifelong goal.
Years later, when Lu Song was finally addressed as the head steward by everyone, looking back, it seemed that at that very moment, the gears of fate had begun to turn.
Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe and looking very wealthy entered the shop, led by the broker.
The middle-aged man slightly supported his protruding belly, looking quite portly. Perhaps he had arrived in a hurry, as fine beads of sweat still clung to his forehead.
Sun Deye was quite surprised to learn that someone had bought his shop, after all, his conditions were quite demanding, and the shop had been listed for half a year without any interest.
A quick glance revealed Cao Wenshan standing there. Upon closer inspection, it was clear—wasn't that the accountant from Ruyi Pastry Shop? His grandfather and young master both loved Ruyi Pastry Shop's pastries, and he had personally gone to great lengths to buy their birthday cake. Only after tasting it did he realize it was all worth it; the flavor was truly delicious! It was a pity it was so difficult to buy!
Sun Deye was a regular customer of Ruyi Pastry Shop. He was simply trying to infuriate those bastards from Chen Ji. Didn't Chen Yushan also own a pastry shop? He couldn't let his pastry shop dominate the market. In short, he couldn't miss any opportunity to annoy Chen Ji.
Hehe, I didn't expect Ruyi Cake Shop to be so successful. After the departure of Sili Ren, a new owner came and not only did they not lose their business, but they even seem to be showing signs of monopolizing the He County market. Seeing Chen Ji Cake Shop half dead, Sun Deye was overjoyed! It was worth it for him to frequently go to Ruyi Cake Shop to contribute.
Seeing the accountant of Ruyi Cake Shop here, I had a vague idea of what was going on, but what was this peasant woman and her two children doing?
"Oh my, isn't this Accountant Cao? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you planning to buy my shop?"
From the moment Sun Deye entered, Cao Wenshan knew who he was. Wasn't this the old man Sun who frequented Ruyi Cake Shop? It's no wonder he remembered him; Cao Wenshan had an excellent memory, and the image of this old man Sun's wealth was deeply etched in his mind.
What impressed him most was that this gentleman often worried about their business and offered appropriate encouragement. Especially when they first took over the new store, he was even more worried about whether it would survive than the employees themselves!
Cao Wenshan cupped his hands and said very respectfully, "Master Sun, I didn't expect this to be your property. I certainly can't afford it, but our boss wants to buy this shop."
After saying that, he turned to Qin San Niang and said, "Boss, this is Master Sun, a regular customer of our shop. He comes to patronize our business almost every two or three days."
Upon hearing that the person in front of her was actually a die-hard fan of her shop, Qin San Niang was delighted. Judging from his physique, he must be a big eater.
Da Wa and Lu Song were also quite happy and gave him friendly smiles.
"Greetings, Master Sun. I am the owner of Ruyi Cake Shop. You may call me Qin San Niang. I've invited you here today to discuss matters concerning the shop," Qin San Niang said with a graceful smile and composed demeanor.
Sun Deye had only glanced at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a light blue cotton skirt and a narrow-sleeved top, and she was not accompanied by any maids. Therefore, she was definitely not the mistress of a wealthy family. It was relatively rare for a woman to show her face in public in the Great Sheng Kingdom.
Of course, this only applies to wealthy families. For peasant women like Qin San Niang, who are struggling to even get enough to eat, it's impossible for them to stay indoors all the time. Otherwise, what would they eat and drink?
The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing. No matter how strict the system is, people still need to be able to eat their fill, right?
"I never expected that the owner of Ruyi Cake Shop would be a woman!" Sun Deye laughed and pulled up a stool from the side and sat down.
"That old man, Sili Ren, is truly unconventional! Who would have thought he'd find a woman to pick him up? Oh dear, boss, you're quite something too. It's not easy to make Ruyi Cake Shop so popular!" Especially making that old bastard Chen Ji suffer a setback, that's fucking satisfying!
"Well, I was just wondering who would buy my shop. If it were one of those good-for-nothings, I wouldn't be willing to sell! But since it's Master Qin, it's different. You should know my rules for selling shops."
Sun Deye looked at Qin Sanniang and became more and more satisfied. The woman's eyes were firm, and she was definitely a ruthless character. Although he was not good at anything, he had been in business for half his life and was good at judging people.
Yes, how could we bring down Chen's Pastry Shop if we weren't ruthless?! Hmph, Chen Yushan of Chen's Pastry Shop, just you wait and see! This time I've finally found a formidable opponent, and he's even an acquaintance of yours!
Sun Deye was secretly pleased for a while, thinking that if the owner of Ruyi Cake Shop took over, it didn't necessarily have to be a tavern. He could open a branch of Ruyi Cake Shop, squeeze them out, and also infuriate Chen Yushan!
