"People who do business are actually very shrewd."
Zhou Sui guessed that Boss Wang probably wanted to lower the price; the cheaper it was, the more he would make.
So when Zhou Sui and the others moved their things over, he made up an excuse to have them taken back, simply to dampen their spirits.
"If he doesn't want to buy our pomelo tea, then so be it. There are other restaurants in town besides his."
"Let's go to Piaoxiang Restaurant, we can ask them if they want some."
After that brief moment, Zhou Peng already had a very bad impression of Boss Wang.
It's all about making money, so who you partner with doesn't really matter. There's no point in working with people who don't keep their word.
Zhou Sui understood his thoughts and asked, "Which restaurant do you think is doing better, Piaoxiang Restaurant or Boss Wang's restaurant?"
“Of course it’s Mr. Wang’s restaurant,” Zhou Peng said almost without hesitation.
Mr. Wang's shop has only been open for a little over two years, but many people still prefer to go there for meals and other entertainment.
Because the restaurant is very upscale in terms of appearance and layout, and some people who entertain guests are particular about the prestige of the place, so they will definitely choose Mr. Wang's restaurant.
Piaoxiang Restaurant has been open for quite a long time; it's considered one of the oldest restaurants in town. However, over the years, apart from the prices going up, nothing else seems to have improved.
"But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse," Zhou Peng added, noting that the locals would still choose to eat at Piaoxiang Restaurant.
Zhou Sui did not deny his statement, because Piaoxiang Restaurant was still making a small profit.
However, just six months later, Piaoxiang Restaurant still closed down.
Because it failed to keep up with the times and stuck to the old ways, it was eventually eliminated by the times and by consumers.
Zhou Sui could hardly imagine how much effort she would need to put in to persuade the owner of Piaoxiang Restaurant to cooperate.
Perhaps they simply don't care about pomelo tea, and Zhou Sui doesn't want to do anything pointless.
Of course, she couldn't tell Zhou Peng what would happen in six months, so she found a suitable reason.
“We have a lot of pomelo tea in stock, and we need to find a restaurant that can handle it.”
"Clearly, Mr. Wang's restaurant is more suitable."
Mr. Wang's restaurant is her first choice, so she will do her best to make it happen.
The saying goes, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate." She's already gone this far; now it's up to Boss Wang to decide.
Mr. Wang's restaurant —
"Are you sure you saw them take the pomelos to the kitchen?" As soon as Zhang Xiaoqing returned, Boss Wang immediately asked her all the details of the matter.
After hearing that Zhou Sui and the others had gone to the kitchen, he couldn't keep a straight face.
"I took the pomelo with me and headed towards the kitchen, but I don't know if I went inside?"
Because the kitchen was behind a corner, and Zhang Xiaoqing didn't have X-ray vision, she couldn't see it even if she wanted to.
"Where else could he go but the kitchen? The owner of Piaoxiang Restaurant works as a chef in the kitchen." Mr. Wang muttered to himself as he paced back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back.
"Do you remember how long they were gone?" Mr. Wang asked again.
"About ten minutes." Although she couldn't check the time, the buses passing by the door came about once every ten minutes. By the time Zhou Sui and the others came out, two buses had passed by.
"Ten minutes?" Mr. Wang looked puzzled. "Only ten minutes? Does that mean the deal didn't go through?"
"No, if we can't reach an agreement, those ten minutes won't be needed."
"It's a bit impossible to reach an agreement in just ten minutes."
What exactly was said during those ten minutes?
At this moment, Boss Wang wished Zhang Xiaoqing could turn into a mosquito and fly in to hear what they were saying, so he wouldn't have to keep guessing.
But in the end, no one could guess what the outcome would be.
"That girl named Zhou Sui is quite capable. I underestimated her," Old Wang muttered to himself as he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He actually has a high opinion of grapefruit tea, and has even figured out how to sell it to make the most money.
Regarding the price, he felt he wanted to negotiate a little further, since she was just a young girl and not easily fooled.
As soon as someone delivers something, he finds an excuse or reason to have them take it back, but without offending them; his main goal is to deflate their arrogance.
Then, after ignoring them for a few days, he pretended to casually visit Zhou's snack shop and told Zhou Sui that he had changed his mind about the promise, but felt guilty and decided to cooperate again.
At that time, Zhou Sui must have been extremely grateful, thinking that her hopes had been fulfilled.
This is the perfect time to haggle and get the best craftsmanship at the lowest cost.
It must be said that Teacher Wang has a very good plan.
Unfortunately, Zhou Sui thwarted his plans.
Mr. Wang now has to figure out what to do next.
Just then, he looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoqing standing there like a wooden statue. He waved his hand impatiently.
"Get to work, stop slacking off here."
Zhang Xiaoqing did as instructed and went to the kitchen. In the corner was a bag of vegetables covered in mud. She pulled over the basin, squatted down and began to wash the vegetables.
Actually, many vegetables in the restaurant are not washed, but Mr. Wang bought these vegetables that were just dug up from the ground to save money, which increased the workload for the kitchen helpers.
"Xiaoqing, what did the boss ask you to do?" A round-faced girl rushed over just as I started washing.
Her name was Chunya, and her bed was opposite Zhang Xiaoqing's; the two were quite close.
"Keep an eye on them."
"Is it that young boss Zhou?"
Zhang Xiaoqing thought for a moment before realizing who the "Little Zhou Boss" she was talking about was.
We're talking about Zhou Sui. Regulars at the snack shop call her Little Boss Zhou. Because of her young age and outstanding looks, even though Zhou Sui isn't often at the shop, many people still remember her.
Even Chun Ya, who had only bought grilled sausages from Zhou's Snack Shop twice, called her Little Boss Zhou.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoqing replied.
Chun Ya leaned closer and whispered to Zhang Xiaoqing, "I heard from the head chef that the boss is going to collaborate with Boss Zhou to sell some kind of pomelo tea. Is that true?"
She overheard it while working nearby and became incredibly curious, so when Zhang Xiaoqing returned, she rushed over to ask her.
Zhang Xiaoqing really didn't know this, because apart from asking her to keep an eye on people, the boss hadn't mentioned anything else.
Judging from their previous conversations, this cooperation doesn't seem like it will work.
"I don't know." In the end, Zhang Xiaoqing shook her head. Chunya couldn't control her mouth, and if she said something and the boss heard her, she would get scolded again.
Chun Ya sighed and suddenly said, "Why is there such a big difference between people?"
"Look at Boss Zhou, she's beautiful and knows how to make money."
"Look at us, sigh~"
"I heard that the snack shop can earn a thousand yuan a month. I don't even have a hundred yuan on me right now. I don't know if I'll ever have a thousand yuan in my life."
Chun Ya didn't know if she was talking to Zhang Xiaoqing or just talking to herself.
Zhang Xiaoqing didn't stop washing the vegetables, but her expression changed.
