In the afternoon, Qian Yu'an also rushed to the main store after school. By evening, Song Rongrong and Chen Zhou had arrived. After hearing that the matter had been investigated and clarified, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing missing was those two disgusting bosses.
Song Zhicheng and Lu Hui also learned about this matter from a customer who came to the grocery store to buy things. The customer said that someone had died from eating at Phoenix Pavilion, which scared them so much that they rushed to the main store. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
There was little business at Phoenix Pavilion, and Xu Guiying and her group returned to Heping Lane exhausted.
Everyone in the alley had heard about it.
Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhuo Huai, and others came to the Song family to inquire about the situation. After learning that it was another restaurant that was behind it, they all had mixed feelings.
Aunt Wang: "Luckily, your third brother was quick-witted this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch Guo Tong. He's definitely up to no good!"
Uncle Sun suggested to Xu Songyuan, "Go to the temple and invite a God of Wealth to keep the two shops in order!"
In just two years, first Zhao Qiang, and now Guo Tong, there has been no other store with such a high frequency of business, even those more popular than Phoenix Pavilion.
Xu Songyuan said he had noted it down and would ask at the temple later.
The incident occurred the day before, and the situation was clarified the next day.
Phoenix Pavilion resolved the matter as quickly as possible, but it still couldn't keep up with the rate at which guests were leaving.
A large notice was posted outside the main store, stating that the Hunan restaurant owner was responsible for the incident. They even hired someone nearby to help Phoenix Pavilion clarify the situation and retain some customers, but business was still far from what it used to be.
Xu Songyuan had a good attitude. To put it bluntly, everyone's memory isn't very good. The customer traffic will come back after a while. Jiang Chenggang and his partner were a great help. Xu Songyuan gave them each two hundred yuan as a thank-you fee. In the following days, Xu Songyuan found someone to help him install a few cameras.
Cameras are expensive, in high demand, and difficult to obtain. Xu Songyuan said that price was not an issue; no matter what, the kitchen had to be equipped with them.
In addition, the management of Phoenix Pavilion is much stricter. Xu Songyuan and his colleagues even called Song Huimin over for a meeting.
Xu Guiying and her husband would come to the store to help out after get off work, and their third and fifth children would also come together. By the end of December, the store's business had improved significantly.
The Hunan restaurant has closed down. The employees haven't received their wages and have taken all the tables and chairs away.
Xu Songyuan even took people to the Tan family to get back the medical expenses he had paid for Tan Ya.
This was originally Tan Rongguo's own doing, so Tan's family should be held responsible!
This incident even made it into the Minsheng Daily, and Tan Ya's workplace also learned about it. Tan Ya frantically tried to distance herself from Tan Rongguo, saying that the father and daughter had a bad relationship and argued at home all the time. She claimed that she was an innocent person who was being used and that this matter had nothing to do with her.
This bank is close to the new Phoenix Pavilion branch, and many of the staff members are regular customers of Phoenix Pavilion. No matter how much Tan Ya praises her, everyone avoids her when they see her, which infuriates Tan Ya.
Before New Year's Day, Chen Zhou and Song Jianmin had met the young waitress at the Hunan restaurant. The young woman never expected that she would lose her job like this, and that the boss would do such a terrible thing.
Although Song Jianmin and his companion felt pity for the girl, they didn't mention a single word about letting her work at Phoenix Pavilion.
Because of this delay, Song Jianmin's house-buying plan has been temporarily put on hold.
After consulting the almanac, Song Jianmin chose an auspicious day, January 5th, to buy the small courtyard in Heping Lane.
Xu Songyuan even asked his third son if he wanted to buy a house, and if so, he could lend him money.
Song Anmin: "Uncle, I don't have any other ideas for the time being, I really don't."
Xu Songyuan patted Song Anmin on the shoulder, "You brat, Lao Wu is getting married soon, and you're almost thirty. Your second brother has already had twins, who are almost six months old, and you still don't have a girlfriend! Let me tell you, house prices are rising everywhere. If you don't buy one now, will you be able to afford a house in the future?"
Xu Songyuan saves his monthly dividends, and once he has enough money, he buys houses. He now owns more than ten houses.
Song Anmin yawned, unconvinced, "I'll take a look later."
Xu Songyuan flicked his forehead: "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Third brother, I'm getting anxious just looking at you!"
At this moment, Song Anmin deeply understood the magic of blood ties; his mother had used to teach him the same lesson.
Song Anmin coughed lightly, "Uncle, then I'll go see it tomorrow."
Xu Songyuan nodded, "The food in the pot is ready, I'll go check it out."
After the poisoning incident was resolved, Xu Songyuan continued to hone his culinary skills, and he even brought back his God of Wealth.
Mr. Xu was extremely confident that with the improved taste, his old customers would definitely come back!
