Chapter 164: Short-sightedness
"I still have things to do. After I finish my work, we can slowly deal with your matter." Huo Juncheng looked at Ah Si. There seemed to be two cold arrows hidden in his pupils, shining on Ah Si, making Ah Si shiver.
"What? Do you really want to kill someone to silence them?" Lin Yilan was full of hostility when she saw Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng didn't answer Lin Yilan's question, but instead answered the question: "If you've had enough fun, call the driver and I'll send them to pick you up."
Looking at Huo Juncheng's back as he walked away, Lin Yilan sighed imperceptibly.
Ah Si wanted to explain something to Lin Yilan, but Lin Yilan interrupted him in time: "You don't have to explain anything to me. After listening to what you just said, I also know what is going on."
"Sister Yilan, I really didn't expect Mr. Huo to be this kind of person. It's ok for him to let me lie to you, but he actually hired someone to beat me up... I used to admire his business skills."
"I didn't expect him to be like this."
Lin Yilan shrugged her shoulders and said this half-jokingly. However, she was still confused about this matter, because from what she knew, Huo Juncheng was definitely not a humble person who would do such a thing.
Forget it, forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. She has only known Huo Juncheng for a few months, how much can she know about Huo Juncheng! Maybe Huo Juncheng really is like this.
"Ah Si, let me take you to the hospital first."
"I was originally planning to go sing opera with Sister Yilan, but now I'm in this state, so I really can't sing. I can only go to the hospital first. Thank you, Sister Yilan."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Let's go. I'll get a taxi."
Lin Yilan said this, took out her phone, and tried to find a taxi. Just where Lin Yilan was blind, Ah Si smiled a triumphant smile...
…
Chu Xi originally thought that Li Mu would really find a big star to endorse her milk tea shop, but Li Mu told her that those stars thought Chu Xi's milk tea shop was too small, and endorsing her milk tea shop would lower their status.
So even if Li Mu offered high prices to tempt them, they were all rejected by the young actors and actresses in the entertainment industry.
When Chu Xi heard Li Mu tell her this, she got angry. What ability did those people in the entertainment industry have to dare to look down on her?
If Chu Xi didn't think they were of some use, she really wouldn't even look down on the people in the inner group. Now it's their turn to look down on her, Chu Xi?
However, it is worth celebrating that although some celebrities have refused to endorse the product, due to the face of Li Mu's family, if they are close to Chu Xi's milk tea shop, they will send their assistants to Chu Xi's milk tea shop to buy milk tea.
Generally speaking, celebrities who come to Chuxi Milk Tea Shop to buy milk tea are well-known figures in the entertainment industry. They not only buy milk tea for themselves but also treat the staff present.
Therefore, even though Chu Xi's milk tea shop is deserted, its sales are not worse than Chu Siran's store.
But even if the sales volume can catch up, it will still seem like Chu Siran's store is more popular, and Chu Siran will still feel that he is better than her, Chu Xi.
Chu Xi was unwilling to be outdone by Chu Siran. She had to let Chu Siran know that the sales of her milk tea shop were not worse than hers. So today, she went to the "Yi Ran" milk tea shop to cause trouble for Chu Siran again.
"I'm telling you, the owner of a milk tea shop, why don't you stay in your own milk tea shop and keep coming to our shop? Are you sick?"
When Chu Siran met Chu Xi this time, he didn't want to deal with her at all and didn't give Chu Xi any good look.
"Nothing much, just checking in to see how your milk tea shop is doing. Is it still as popular as before? Can it catch up with the sales of my milk tea shop?"
Hearing Chu Xi say this, Chu Siran sneered, "You can tell whether my store's business is booming or not from inside your store. If you're not blind, you can notice the endless long queue of people coming in."
"Even if your milk tea shop is packed with people every day, the sales of one cup per person are not necessarily greater than my milk tea shop's sales."
"No, who gave you the confidence to say such shameless things? You can count the number of customers who come to your shop in a day on one hand, right? And you want to compete with me in sales? If you can sell ten cups of milk tea a day, I would want to congratulate you."
Facing Chu Siran's ridicule, Chu Xi knew that Chu Siran didn't know the sales of milk tea in Chu Xi's store. If she didn't come to show off, would Chu Siran really think that the sales of her store have always been so bleak?
"My dear sister, you think that since you can afford to hire a young actress from the entertainment industry to write a plaque for you, I can't find someone to sell milk tea?"
Looking at Chu Xi's smug look, Chu Siran was slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"
"Heh, even though my milk tea shop only has a few people coming in every day, each of them buys hundreds of cups of milk tea. Ordinary people here only buy one cup of milk tea each, and the employees are exhausted. Unlike our store, the employees have nothing to do, and our sales are no worse than yours."
Looking at Chu Xi's arrogant look, Chu Siran picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and put it in his mouth. He looked nonchalant and replied softly, "Oh, then you are awesome."
Chu Siran looked at Chu Xi, who looked like a child who had won a bet, and felt like laughing. Seeing Chu Xi still gloating, with his hands holding his chin, he looked straight at Chu Xi, unable to tell what Chu Siran was feeling at the moment.
"Don't think I don't know how you sell your milk tea. Isn't it just celebrities treating the public to milk tea to gain popularity?"
"How...how did you know?"
"Why do you care how I know? Besides, if you're satisfied with this, I think you could expand your business and get into milk tea wholesale. You don't have to focus solely on the entertainment industry. You're still wasting the Li family's favors. It's not worth it."
"Chu Siran, what do you mean?"
Chu Xi didn't expect that Chu Siran actually knew everything about his store. Not only was he surprised, but at the same time, he could also hear the sarcasm in Chu Siran's words.
"What can I say? I'm just giving you some honest advice. Otherwise, you think those idols will always buy milk tea from you? To give the Li family some face, at most they'll buy milk tea from you for a month. After a month, your milk tea shop will still face closure."
"Then you don't need to worry, because it's impossible."
Hearing Chu Xi say this, Chu Siran waved his hand indifferently, looking indifferent. Anyway, Chu Xi's milk tea shop was about to close, and Chu Siran was not in the mood to argue with her now.
When starting a business, one must not only consider immediate profits but also long-term development. Chu Siran could also focus on the sales volume of immediate profits, but could wholesale milk tea really be sustainable in the long run? Only by attracting a larger audience could two milk tea shops be expanded into four, or even more...
However, Chu Xi probably will never understand this truth in his lifetime.
