As a bystander, Zhou Sui didn't pay special attention to the Zhang family's affairs, but the town was so small that she could hear about it even without asking around.
I heard it at Mr. Wang's restaurant this time.
After the play was performed last time, Boss Wang did come over the next day, trying to find out indirectly whether the pomelo tea had been sold to Piaoxiang Restaurant.
Mr. Wang is an ambitious man; he wants to own everything.
Although this grapefruit tea isn't a fancy dish, it's fresh and profitable.
Those in the same industry are most envious of each other's success; Boss Wang only wants to have what he has and surpass Piaoxiang Restaurant.
Zhou Sui didn't answer his question directly, but only said, "It depends on your demand, Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes, pondering the meaning of the phrase "first birthday".
Zhou Sui wasn't in a hurry and waited for Boss Wang's reply.
After a while, Boss Wang finally spoke up, "Besides this restaurant in town, I also have one next door. Even if you bring more, I can handle it."
"That's the price." Mr. Wang said, glancing at Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui straightened up. "Boss Wang, you're a big businessman, you know the profit margins of pomelo tea."
"This price is indeed the lowest. It's seasonal and handmade. We ordinary people need to earn some money too."
After hearing this, Boss Wang's smile faded a bit. "Miss Zhou, that's not very kind of you."
Zhou Sui glanced at him and said, "Boss Wang, if I weren't honest, I wouldn't have waited to do this business with you."
"As you know, my little shop alone sells grapefruit tea very well."
"But we are still short-handed. If we are destined to work together and feel that we can cooperate, what do you think?"
Mr. Wang realized that this girl had no intention of lowering the price at all.
Not only did they not lower the price, they also made him buy more grapefruit tea.
He could easily walk away now, but when he thought about the profits involved, Boss Wang was really reluctant to give it up.
It's like having a pot of chicken soup in front of you. You can't drink it just by opening your mouth, but if you take a spoon and scoop it up, the fragrant chicken soup will go into your stomach.
In this situation, isn't he just one step away from picking up the spoon?
Zhou Sui looked at him with a smile, clearly understanding his feelings.
A businessman like Mr. Wang is ultimately unwilling to let money slip through his fingers.
In the end, he still got the grapefruit tea at the original price, which was double the original price.
He left after paying the deposit, and the remaining balance would be settled when the delivery was made.
As soon as Mr. Wang left, Zhou Peng breathed a huge sigh of relief. "I almost thought we wouldn't be able to do this deal."
The silence in the middle was indeed agonizing.
"Sui Sui, how can you be so calm? You don't seem worried at all. Are you really that sure Boss Wang will buy it?"
Zhou Peng was incredibly impressed with his younger sister. He felt a pang of envy just watching her, and several times he wanted to make a move, but seeing Zhou Sui's unwavering composure, he held back.
"It's not 100% certain," Zhou Sui said.
"Since the person has come, there is a 50% chance that it will work out. The other 50% depends on who can hold on to it."
"To put it bluntly, today's battle is all about psychological warfare."
Zhou Peng nodded in understanding, "I'll study hard and learn from this."
Every time he asked Zhou Sui how she knew so much, Zhou Sui's answer was always that she read books.
Reading books to broaden one's horizons is indeed a good way to improve oneself.
Zhou Peng went to prepare pomelo tea, and after he left, Zhou Sui quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Despite how eloquently she spoke, she was actually quite nervous.
This was probably the first time in her two lifetimes that she had engaged in a psychological battle with someone.
Although it was just a small grapefruit tea, it meant a lot to her and marked another step in her growth.
The pomelo tea was delivered by the brother and sister together; in fact, after explaining everything clearly, Zhou Sui wouldn't have needed to make the trip.
But since it was the first order, Zhou Sui wanted to guide Zhou Peng through the entire process so that he could get started more easily.
On the way there, Zhou Peng told Zhou Sui, "If Boss Wang had waited five minutes, we could have put the things in his car and he could have just taken them away."
“People who buy things are treated like royalty. Even if they don’t want to wait even a minute, let alone five minutes, we still have to deliver it to their door.”
“He didn’t manage to get a lower price, and he still bought so much. He’ll definitely be unhappy if he doesn’t give us some extra work.” Zhou Sui was very open-minded about this, because once the goal was achieved, there was no need to dwell on these trivial matters.
The delivery process went smoothly; Zhou Sui received the money, and Boss Wang inspected the goods.
Zhou Peng helped move the things to the kitchen, and it was at this moment that Zhou Sui heard the female workers in the store talking about the Zhang family.
"Xiaoqing came to borrow money today, did you lend her any?"
“I lent it to them, it’s kind of pitiful, but it’s not much, just five yuan. I don’t even expect them to pay it back.”
“She asked me for a loan, but I didn’t lend it to her. Her brother’s mess was huge. I heard he was beaten up and they wanted to pay 20,000 yuan in compensation. My God, they really dare to ask for that.”
"What can we do if we don't compensate them? They're not in the right either."
"When I came here, I saw Xiaoqing going to borrow money from the boss. Guess if the boss lent it to her or not."
"I definitely won't lend it; our boss is so stingy."
"Not only did I not lend it, I also paid Xiaoqing her wages and told her she didn't need to come to work tomorrow."
"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, "They're short of money right now, isn't the boss cutting off their escape route?"
"The boss doesn't care about any of that."
"As for Xiaoqing, she finally got a chance not to have her wages deducted this time. It was indeed the last time she would receive her wages here."
Zhou Sui was listening intently when she saw those people suddenly shut their mouths and bury themselves in their work.
She turned around and saw that it was Boss Wang who had come out. The people dared not chatter anymore.
After exchanging greetings, Zhou Sui and Zhang Xiaoqing left. Not long after they left, Zhou Sui saw Zhang Xiaoqing.
There's also Chen Zongyue.
The two were talking about something, and Zhang Zongyue seemed a little impatient. Zhang Xiaoqing quickly lowered her head and started wiping away her tears. Then Chen Zongyue walked away without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui couldn't help but recall her past life when she cried and begged Chen Zongyue not to abandon her. Back then, he did the same thing, turning away with a long face and no expression, without caring at all.
When Zhou Xu told her that Zhang Xiaoqing and Chen Zongyue were getting close, she predicted that Zhang Xiaoqing would eventually experience what she had experienced.
Because Chen Zongyue is extremely selfish and hypocritical, he wouldn't care about an ordinary girl at all.
Zhou Sui pretended not to see Zhang Xiaoqing, pulled Zhou Peng around, and went back via another route.
