"The takeout business is booming! Restaurant prices keep dropping! I'm going to bankrupt the Chi family's shops completely!"
Lin Chunni's smile froze: "Zijin—there's practically no profit left!"
Chef Lin's cooking skills are excellent, but his salary is also high! Zhang Cui's small shop is simply too small to contain such a big shot as Chef Lin!
Zhang Cui's family won't be able to afford Chef Lin's wages tomorrow!
"And what about food delivery? We need someone to handle the daily deliveries, right? Hiring someone costs money, doesn't it?"
"If the prices of our dishes continue to drop, we won't even be able to supply the raw materials, not even considering labor costs!"
Lin Chunni kept emphasizing two words: "no money."
"Money, money, money—all you ever talk about is money? Fine—I'll pay Chef Lin's salary, and you give me the bill for all the ingredients in the shop, and I'll pay it. Is that alright?"
Lin Chunni immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay—with you saying that, Mom and I are relieved! You say you'll deliver food, we'll deliver food; you say how low to set the price, we'll set it that low, we'll even give it away for free!"
Having watched the whole thing from beginning to end, Jiang Jingjing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Chunni, who was all smiles and fawning.
They didn't even try to hide their disdain.
Why did she think Lin Chunni was straightforward and spoke without thinking?
Looking back now, Lin Chunni is incredibly shrewd.
She's a total spineless coward, a master of opportunism, and wherever there's profit to be made, that's where she is.
Back then, Lin Chunni should have realized long ago that Jiang Jingjing preferred her little follower who was inferior to her in every way.
Therefore, Lin Chunni usually displays a straightforward and outspoken personality, speaking without thinking.
Make yourself feel like she's easy to control.
Now it seems that Jiang Jingjing was the one who was kept in the dark all along, or rather, manipulated by Lin Chunni.
Jiang Jingjing sighed angrily.
Lin Chunni is truly a good dog to Ye Zijing!
Ye Zijing was very satisfied with Lin Chunni's compliance.
So, I left the 'Grandma Qiao' restaurant in a fairly pleasant mood.
As she bent down to get into the car, she noticed the unusually quiet little tail that had been following her all along.
Her gaze was filled with disgust, and her tone was unfriendly: "Jiang Jingjing, what are you still doing here? What are you doing following me?"
Jiang Jingjing: "..."
Didn't you ask me to come with you today to watch the Chi family's good show?
What, you didn't get to see the show?
Now you're starting to look down on me?
Jiang Jingjing could only manage to say, "Okay, I'll get ready to go home now!"
Ye Zijing nodded, unusually not losing her temper, and gently reminded him: "Okay, let's go back!"
On the video channel side, don't be lazy; communicate with Professor Gao more often.
Of the six people in charge, the subject you're responsible for has the worst data—no traffic, no clicks!
Jiang Jingjing gave a forced smile: "Okay, no problem!"
"Hmm! That's more like it!"
As if doing a favor, Ye Zijin let Jiang Jingjing go.
'Grandma Qiao' has also expanded into takeout, and the restaurant has lowered its prices once again.
Now, among the mournful shop owners on the street, there was also Chi Minghe and Zhang Qiaoyue.
"Good heavens! Did Zhang Cui get her head caught in the door when she went out?"
Shop owner A was furious.
"Yes! What benefit does she get from such a low price? Can she even make money?"
Shop owner B looked worried.
"Could it be that Zhang Cui won five million in the lottery and is just scattering the money around for fun?"
Shop owner C is clearly a lottery enthusiast.
"Damn it! Zhang Cui's family is really despicable. Come on, let's go to their shop and smash it up!"
Shop owner D was clearly short-tempered.
"..."
"My God! Are you trying to kill me?"
I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a three-year-old baby to feed. Zhang Cui's family is trying to drive me to my death!
Give me a noodle, I want to hang myself!
"No, give me a piece of tofu, I want to smash my head against Zhang Cui's shop and die, my blood staining three feet high!"
Shop owner E is a great actor; his emotions are so full that they practically overflow.
"Old Zhang, I have a few pieces of frozen tofu in my freezer. I can give them to you for free if you want. You're welcome!"
Zhang Qiaoyue rolled her eyes, directly shutting down the shop owner E's words.
A group of shop owners sat together at the 'Qiao Mama' restaurant, looking miserable and sighing.
Sometimes, the things that happen in this world are truly inexplicable.
Back when the Chi family was holding an event, the shop owners on this street treated Zhang Qiaoyue, Chi Minghe, and Chi Chan with utter contempt.
Everyone I see every day has become a lemon spirit on the lemon tree.
The sarcastic and sarcastic remarks could go on from morning till night.
Now, Zhang Cui's family is up to their old tricks again.
And it was even more intense than when the Chi family was active.
Zhang Cui's family basically stole all the business from the entire street.
Zhang Cui's little shop alone has eight waiters.
I really don't know how this little shop can accommodate so many people?
The restaurant owner gave Zhang Qiaoyue a rough estimate of Zhang Cui's restaurant's daily revenue.
Zhang Qiaoyue was secretly shocked after hearing this. The average order value was more than two-thirds lower than that of "Qiao Mama" restaurant, but the revenue was more than double or even double that of "Qiao Mama" restaurant.
In other words, Zhang Cui's restaurant had nearly six times the number of customers it had on its busiest day.
No wonder these shop owners couldn't sit still any longer and came here to join forces with Zhang Qiaoyue to resist Zhang Cui's restaurant.
Faced with enormous benefits, former enemies can become friends, and everyone can unite against external threats.
The face-changing skills displayed by these shop owners were so exquisite and sophisticated that even someone as shrewd and worldly as Zhang Qiaoyue was ashamed of herself and speechless.
"So what's the point of you coming to me?"
Zhang Qiaoyue shrugged.
"Brother Chi, dear sister-in-law, the event your family organized before was very well done!"
Everyone has seen the decrease in customer traffic over those two weeks.
"Do you think we could team up with all our stores and put on another promotion or something to try and win back customers from Zhang Cui's place?"
Zhang Qiaoyue remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she sneered.
Now they're asking her for advice, and all they do is call her "Brother Chi" and "good sister-in-law"?
Back when their business was booming, when they met, it was always those two scoundrels from the Chi family? Or maybe a sarcastic "Boss Zhang" or "Boss Chi"?
It's one thing to not give them a friendly look, but why were you so sarcastic and sarcastic when you saw Chi Chan back then?
