When Mr. Wang turned around and saw her timid and hesitant appearance, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Did you slack off again? I called you for so long and you didn't come. Now that you're gone, what are you doing here?"
Unlike his smiling face just now, Boss Wang now looked fierce and spoke loudly, which was somewhat frightening.
Zhang Xiaoqing kept her head down and didn't say anything. When she was called a second time, she came out and stood to the side, watching the boss speak. She didn't dare to interrupt.
Because when the boss was talking to a customer, someone interrupted. At the time, nothing happened, but after the customer left, the boss scolded that person for a long time.
They said he didn't know the rules, was blind, and disgraced the restaurant.
Zhang Xiaoqing kept this in mind. In that situation, she deliberately stood where the boss could see her, so that he could give her any instructions.
But the boss only glanced at her and didn't say anything. Zhang Xiaoqing still didn't dare to leave and just waited there until he finally spoke.
Unexpectedly, I still got a scolding. Anyone who works in a restaurant knows that even though the boss is all smiles at the customers, he doesn't have a friendly attitude towards the employees.
You can't talk back when someone criticizes you, otherwise you'll either get yelled at even more harshly or have your salary docked for some reason.
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out.
Strangely, this time the boss only cursed once and then stopped.
He sized up Zhang Xiaoqing for a moment, "Take off your work clothes later and follow those two people who came earlier. See if they went to Piaoxiang Restaurant."
That girl surnamed Zhou is quite capable; he always felt that she was deliberately saying that to him.
What a joke! A little girl like you actually believes this? Are you trying to panic?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Boss Zhou turned around and saw that the person was still standing there blankly, so he urged him impatiently.
"Keep a close eye on them. They're across the street now. If they really go to Piaoxiang Restaurant, you stay there and see how long they stay."
Zhang Xiaoqing responded and ran across the street while taking off her black work clothes.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for Zhou Sui and her brother.
Mingming had no interaction with Zhou Sui before, and even though they lived in the same village, they rarely ran into each other. But ever since she gave Zhou Sui directions last time, it seems like she runs into Zhou Sui or encounters things related to her from time to time.
First it was Chen Zongyue, and now she even knows the boss.
They were talking for ages in the shop, I don't even know what they were saying, but the owner was laughing like that.
While lost in thought, Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes were also constantly scanning the area. Finally, she spotted Zhou Sui and the others. After running a few steps to catch up, Zhang Xiaoqing slowed down and followed them from a distance.
"Sui Sui, do you think that Boss Wang will really send someone to check if we're going to Piaoxiang Restaurant?"
"If he wants to do business with us, he probably will."
The trip to Piaoxiang Restaurant was indeed a last-minute addition by Zhou Sui, specifically to test Boss Wang and also to give him a heads-up.
"Let me see if anyone is following us." Zhou Peng was about to turn around when Zhou Sui quickly stopped him.
"Brother, there's no need to turn around. Since we've already said it, let's go to Piaoxiang Restaurant. If you turn around and see people, you'll get nervous; if you don't see anyone, you'll feel bad."
"Listen to me, let's put this matter behind us for now and go have a meal at Piaoxiang Restaurant."
Zhou Peng was stunned. He had no idea that this was possible. The two of them walked into the Fragrant Restaurant together.
When choosing seats, Zhou Sui specifically chose a window seat. Zhou Peng held the menu and, upon seeing the prices, instantly felt that the menu was a bit too hot to handle.
"A serving of stir-fried vegetables costs one yuan?"
"Sui Sui, let's not eat here, let's go home and eat."
For that price, you could easily get a meat dish at a small restaurant.
Zhou Sui rested her chin on her hand, watching the passersby outside the window. "Since we're already here, let's give it a try. We're all in the same industry, and I forgot what I said: know yourself and know your enemy."
Zhou Peng didn't even dare to compare his small food cart with those big restaurants. They were both selling food, but the difference was just too great.
Look at the dishes here, some are as cheap as one yuan, some are as expensive as ten or more yuan, and some even cost over a hundred yuan.
He looked at the menu, and the higher the price, the more astonished he became.
"How much money can you make from this?" He didn't know before, but after he started working in this industry, he realized that food can indeed be profitable.
Zhou Sui looked outside from a different angle. When she saw a figure, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.
"Brother, don't worry about all that. Here, give me the menu. It's my treat. Consider it a favor that you came all this way with me for nothing."
Zhou Sui took the menu and quickly ordered three dishes, both meat and vegetables, which was more than enough for the two of them.
"What's so tiring about it? I'm not tired at all. It's just that Boss Wang is so infuriating. He clearly told you everything, so how could he change his mind at the last minute?"
Zhou Peng felt angry at the thought, and at the same time he was surprised by Zhou Sui's reaction.
Because after getting to know her for a while, he found that his cousin was very different from before; she wasn't the type to always give in.
Zhou Sui looked at him and asked, "Big brother, do you really think grapefruit tea isn't profitable?"
"No wonder we make money. Look at that menu just now, liquor is only 50 cents a glass. You can buy a whole bottle for 50 cents outside."
"At this price, our pomelo tea must cost one or two yuan. What could possibly be in it? A spoonful of honey pomelo, and the rest is just water. And you're saying we don't make any money?"
Even Zhou Peng, a newcomer to the industry, understood this principle, let alone the seasoned veteran, Boss Wang.
