Why didn't Boss Zou cancel Chapter 176?
Yan Sui took a deep breath, suppressing her surging anger.
Canceling the order is a small matter, but she just wants to know who is behind this.
"Mr. Zou, are you canceling your order too? You only ordered a hundred stems from me, it's not a big order, there's no need to call me specifically."
After a moment, Mr. Zou's embarrassed voice came from the other end: "Ms. Yan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to cancel the order."
Yan Sui: "..." Oh no, I spoke too soon.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zou, quite a few flower shops canceled their orders early this morning. I thought you were one of them."
Mr. Zou hurriedly said, "I know, that's why I specifically informed Miss Yan."
Yan Sui frowned. "Does Boss Zou know what's going on?"
"I was just guessing."
Every industry is divided into different classes, with far more monks than porridge, and resources are concentrated in the hands of a few.
In order to share resources, they naturally have group chats in private.
Her family's flower shop isn't large, but it's been around for a while and has a good reputation and brand recognition, which barely meets the requirements for joining the group.
"You probably guessed it, the group owner of this group is Xifan's boss. I'm also wondering, Ms. Yan, did you offend someone who is targeting you like this?"
Using his resources, he coerced and bribed everyone to cancel Yan Sui's orders, and called on everyone in the group not to purchase Yan Sui's lotus flowers.
Yan Sui suddenly realized, "I've offended too many people, I really can't remember them all right now."
Boss Zou: "..." You're quite proud of yourself.
"Why doesn't Boss Zou cancel it?"
Mr. Zou smiled wryly, "I'm at the very bottom of the group. I didn't get many resources to begin with, so I just left the group."
She wasn't on Yan Sui's side; she simply realized there was no point in staying in this group.
The other two small private flower shops were not even in the group, so naturally they didn't know about it.
In other words, the other florists in the group all listened to Xi Fan and canceled Yan Sui's order.
“The local flower shops, especially the larger ones, probably won’t buy your lotus flowers anymore.”
"What about Boss Zou?"
"I will still purchase 100 stems as originally planned. If they sell well, I will continue to place orders. But Ms. Yan knows that my flower shop is not a large one, so I estimate that we won't sell many."
Lotus flowers are delicate and cannot be kept for too long, which is why Yan Sui chose to cooperate with local flower shops instead of selling them online.
"I'd like to send your store an extra fifty lotus flowers as a gift. Thank you for informing me, Mr. Zou."
Mr. Zou was flattered. “Ms. Yan, you’re too kind. I’m not really of any help. Actually, I did this for my own selfish reasons. You have a lot of online traffic, and I wanted to take advantage of your popularity.”
Her straightforward words made Yan Sui chuckle.
"I'll take advantage of this opportunity; if it helps Boss Zou, it's a win-win situation for me."
After hanging up the phone, Peng Xiufang drove her tricycle back to deliver the second batch of lotus flowers.
She reserved fifty stems for Tian Tian, and the rest were to be sent to three flower shops.
Once the third batch arrives, Yan Sui plans to go out and sell the produce with Tian Xiangjuan.
She has no other sales channels now; relying solely on Sweet Flower Shop won't do.
When Tian Tian heard that she was going to set up a flower stall in town, she asked, "You're going yourself?"
Yan Sui smiled faintly, "Originally, my aunt was going by herself, but I was worried, so I went along to check on her."
"I probably won't sell many if I sell them myself, so it's better to cooperate with a florist to sell them faster."
Yan Sui understood this principle, of course, but the path of cooperating with local florists had already been blocked.
"We'll see."
When she returned home, she and Tian Xiangjuan discussed it and decided to first set up a stall at the largest market in town.
The lotus flowers are sold by the stem, so you don't need to prepare too much; you can just drive there in your tricycle.
Yan Sui casually picked up a piece of cardboard and wrote the price on it.
Double-petaled lotus, 20 yuan per stem.
The first customer to come in was Ms. Luo, the homeroom teacher of the same class as Tian Xiangjuan.
Teacher Luo initially just came over to greet her, saying, "Teacher Tian, what a coincidence."
Tian Xiangjuan wasn't embarrassed when she was recognized by an acquaintance, and greeted her generously.
"It's a holiday, and I've got nothing to do, so I came to help my niece sell some things."
Teacher Luo suddenly realized that she had heard that Tian Xiangjuan's niece was Yan Sui.
The kindergarten teachers have all eaten a lot of her good food.
"Xiao Luo, you don't look too well."
Teacher Luo touched her face, and sighed as she mentioned this.
"It's all because of my son."
Her son was only four months old, and her in-laws took care of him, so she didn't need to worry about him too much.
But her son was particularly difficult to take care of. He didn't eat or sleep well, and he would cry all night long, no matter how she tried to soothe him.
I've tried both materialistic and idealistic approaches, but they've all been completely ineffective.
“Our whole family is being driven crazy by this child. I’m okay, though, because I’ve been on maternity leave for the past few months and my in-laws have been taking turns looking after him, so I can rest during the day. But my husband doesn’t sleep well at night and has to go to work during the day, so he looks even worse than me.”
Teacher Luo chatted with Tian Xiangjuan for a few minutes, then heard her mother-in-law call out.
She replied, "Teacher Tian, I won't disturb your business any longer."
Tian Xiangjuan smiled and nodded, "Go back now, I'll come over to your house another day."
Teacher Luo paused, "I'll buy two lotus flowers to take home."
Having some fresh flowers in the house makes me feel good.
Tian Xiangjuan quickly wrapped two branches for her and taught her how to care for them.
Teacher Luo smiled and nodded, "I've bought lotus flowers before, so I know how to grow them."
But she rarely buys them because lotus flowers don't last long when placed in water.
She still prefers fresh-cut flowers that bloom for a long time.
Teacher Luo carried two lotus flowers to her mother-in-law's side, and heard her mother-in-law mutter, "What's the point of buying these lotus flowers? If you like them, I'll go to the countryside to pick some. Why waste money?"
“It’s so far to go back to the countryside. You and Dad are already exhausted from taking care of the kids, and now you’re making such a fuss. It’s only 20 yuan a branch, which isn’t very expensive. It’ll make you feel good to bring it home.”
Teacher Luo took her mother-in-law's hand and they chatted and laughed as they went home.
She complained about the price, but as soon as she got home, her mother-in-law quickly took out the vase and made her put the lotus flowers in it.
"These lotus flowers are hard to grow. The ones I grew before either lost their petals within a day or turned black. Don't buy them next time."
Teacher Luo knew that her mother-in-law felt it was a waste of money, and since what she said was true, she didn't argue with her.
She first poured water into the stem, peeled off the calyx, and used techniques to help it bloom.
A short while later, they heard their son crying again inside the house.
The mother-in-law hurriedly went inside to comfort the child, while Teacher Luo continued to tend to the lotus flowers.
Layer upon layer of petals bloom, releasing a delicate fragrance.
The mother-in-law, carrying her child, took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
The baby boy in her arms stopped crying abruptly, his big eyes darting around as he curiously examined the thousand-petaled lotus flower in his mother's hand.
Teacher Luo exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a double-petaled lotus!"
Such beautiful lotus flowers are not expensive at 20 yuan.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a fragrant lotus flower."
Teacher Luo turned to look at her son and saw that he was staring at the lotus flowers without blinking, so she couldn't help but pinch his little face.
"Our Yan Yan likes flowers too, doesn't she?"
Yan Yan stretched out her chubby little hand, trying to grab the lotus flower.
Teacher Luo stepped aside and plucked a petal for him to play with.
The lotus flowers are delicate, and she couldn't bear to let the child trample on them.
"Since you like it, then Mom will put the lotus flower inside."
Yan Yan babbled and rubbed the lotus flower against her round little face.
Teacher Luo both loves and hates this son; when he's well-behaved, he's so lovable.
But when she cries every night, it's like a demonic sound entering your ears, driving you to the brink of mental collapse, and even the neighbors next door can't stand it.
Every evening, Teacher Luo felt an indescribable weariness.
The whole family was on high alert, ready for anything.
Surprisingly, Yan Yan went to bed early tonight.
And he slept very soundly, unlike before when he would cry incessantly at the slightest noise.
Teacher Luo's mother-in-law went in and out of the house several times, her face full of surprise.
"What happened today?"
Teacher Luo shook her head, looking at the chubby boy beside her, her heart softening completely.
"I don't know either. I was sleeping soundly. I was even laughing just now."
Her mother-in-law glanced at the lotus flowers on the desk by the window; they were still blooming beautifully, filling the room with their fragrance.
"Could it be this lotus flower? I always feel that the smell of lotus flowers can calm the mind."
Having been tormented by this little grandson for so long, she's even gone so far as to call a master to exorcise evil spirits from her home; nothing is impossible for her.
Teacher Luo was taken aback, thinking that it might actually be true.
Tian Xiangjuan had given her a bottle of peach blossom wine before, but her husband later gave it to his boss.
My husband's boss really likes it. He said that the elderly in his family suffered from insomnia for many years, but after drinking this peach blossom wine, their insomnia was cured without any medicine.
"Mom, let's stop here for now. It's rare for Yan Yan to sleep so well. You and Dad should get some rest too. Don't come over tonight."
"Okay, call me when Yan Yan wakes up."
