Chapter 132 Lost money, lost people, and lost completely
Brother Qian was still thinking about how to deal with Gu's chef, but before he could think of a solution, he received bad news. All the chefs he had invited were leaving.
"I'll pay more, double the money, and let them stay!"
In the beginning, the chefs were invited here with money, and there was a sinister look in Brother Qian's eyes, but he naturally thought that it would be possible this time.
But the result disappointed him. "It's not about money. Even if you pay us, it won't work. We won't do it anymore!"
"I'll give you triple it!"
After hearing the triple amount, everyone hesitated a little, but finally left. Money is really tempting, but it's a lifelong thing and can't be ruined like this.
Chen's Kitchen finally paid a high price to keep two chefs, but the real chef still left.
With the departure of the chef, Chen's Kitchen's last remaining competitiveness disappeared without the chef's support. The taste became mediocre, and the people who originally went to eat there for the chef lost interest. In just three days, Chen's Kitchen completely lost its competitiveness.
Brother Qian had to admit defeat. He didn't want to be looked at as idiots by those uncles anymore, nor did he want to hear those aunties talking about them behind their backs, saying they were stupid and had a lot of money. So he finally cancelled the gift-giving campaign and stopped giving gifts.
From the beginning, he had been losing money running the restaurant. He had thought that he would make money in the end, and that he could also get Gu Qingshi into his pocket, get his revenge, and finally let her make money for him.
In the end, he got nothing except losing money, losing face and being humiliated, and he also helped Gu Qingshi.
Brother Qian calmed down for two days, realizing that if he kept the business open, he would only lose more money and become a bigger laughing stock for Gu Qingshi. Finally, he made the difficult decision to close the business.
Boss Chen was prepared, but he was still shocked when he heard the door closing.
He didn't expect that he would fail in the end. For the first time, he doubted whether he was really not suitable for doing business.
Brother Qian didn't care how disappointed Boss Chen was. After making the decision, he immediately prepared to leave Mingchang County and didn't want to stay even a second longer.
Chen's Kitchen finally closed down because they were so embarrassed that they waited until very late but no one came to Gu's Kitchen, so they quietly closed down and left.
But just as they closed the door, their uncle and aunt appeared out of nowhere, looking at their luggage in surprise, "Boss Chen, Boss Qian, why are you holding the luggage? Are you going to close the door?"
My uncle and aunt had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. They had been holding a lot of grudges in their stomachs, and they were so angry that they had to give up the New Year. They were unwilling to miss their closing ceremony, just like they had done when they came to watch and mock them. They immediately surrounded them.
Boss Chen and Brother Qian froze and gritted their teeth, "Aren't you guys leaving?"
"I was leaving, but I heard something was wrong with you guys. Boss Chen, Boss Qian, are you going to quit this business?"
Boss Chen lowered his head and ignored him. Brother Qian couldn't help but look at Gu Qing who was coming over from behind and said, "Yes, I won't do it anymore. I was wrong. This kind of remote place is really not suitable for opening a high-end restaurant. People here are poor and have little experience. It's not suitable to continue running a restaurant."
My aunt sneered, "If you want to close the shop, just close it. Why are you saying you are ignorant? Our shop will still be open in big cities and the capital. Closing the shop only shows that you are incompetent. You think you are a high-end restaurant and you give out gifts every day to attract grandpas and grandmas? Don't you know that everyone calls you stupid behind your back?"
My aunt speaks quickly and clearly, which makes people feel comfortable.
But Brother Qian was almost pissed off by her quick words, "You are stupid. It is true that poor places produce bad people. I have witnessed it today."
"Bah, you are the troublemaker. I just realized that there are people like you in big cities. I thought people from big cities must be decent, clean and polite, but look at you. Tsk tsk. You are not from a big city, but you are a fly from a big city!"
"You shrew!" Brother Qian almost vomited blood.
"You fly!" my aunt immediately retorted.
Gu Qingshi almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Seeing that Brother Qian's face was purple with anger, he hurried forward to hold his aunt, "Okay, aunt, city people are delicate. If they get angry to death after a few words, you will blame us."
"Oh, yes, yes." My aunt immediately stepped back and kept some distance, "Stay away from us." Don't blame them even if you die.
"You guys." Brother Qian was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by Boss Chen. "Brother Qian, don't do it. We can't beat them."
He still remembered the last time Gu Qingshi stabbed him, so he didn't dare to provoke Gu Qingshi again.
Brother Qian: "Get lost!"
Brother Qian pushed the useless Boss Chen away, but he remembered how Gu Qingshi looked at that time. Finally, he held back, took a deep breath, and said, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman" as he left. After walking a few steps, he looked back unwillingly and saw Gu Qingshi looking at the Chen's Kitchen shop.
Looking at the landlord running over from the other side, Brother Qian suddenly had an idea and finally found the point to attack Gu Qingshi.
He said loudly to the landlord, "Landlord, don't worry. I won't refund the rent. Even if I close the shop, I will continue to rent it according to the contract. Even if it's vacant, I won't let someone else rent it."
He spoke so loudly that it was hard for Gu Qingshi to ignore him. Seeing the landlord's happy expression and then seeing Brother Qian looking at her smugly, Gu Qingshi could not help but snort.
"Don't worry, Boss Qian, I won't rent it."
She really didn't want to rent it because she had a better choice. Just now, when she looked across the street, she simply didn't like the signboard of 'Chen's Kitchen'.
They had been displeased with it for a long time and had closed the shop, so Gu Qingshi decided to smash it down when it got darker and more people were around.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingshi walked towards Gu's kitchen with his uncle and aunt who finally felt proud. Brother Qian looked at Gu Qingshi's back and made a "Puh" sound.
"You're just pretending, and you think you can fool me. I want you to never be able to rent a house across the street, or in the county town!"
It was ok to lose money before, let alone just renting a shop. Brother Qian looked at Boss Chen and said, "Boss Chen, please help me keep an eye on Gu Qingshi. If she wants to rent a place, you should immediately raise the price and rent it. I want her to have no place to rent!"
Boss Chen was stunned, "Brother Qian." Is this necessary?
"If you do it, I can pay you. Also, go ask the landlord of Gu's Kitchen to double the rent if possible."
He wanted her, Gu Qingshi, to have no house to rent and no house to do business! This was also a way, as long as Gu Qingshi had no house to rent, her restaurant would have to close.
In order to get paid, Boss Chen finally took the surveillance job and asked Gu Qingshi and their landlord.
The landlord was somewhat tempted, but the man did not change his mind in the end. He said that they must be honest in doing business and they would not go back on their word since they had signed the contract in black and white.
The main reason was that the landlord was afraid of problems. The rental contract had many provisions, and he was afraid that Gu Qingshi would breach the contract. At that time, he heard Gu Qingshi say that if she dared to breach the contract, he could sue her in court.
This was actually a disguised confession. If he breached the contract, Gu Qingshi could sue him, but he didn't want to be sued.
