When we returned to Tianxiang Tower, it was packed with people.
When Tianxianglou opened, all the nearby hotels were deserted, like autumn leaves falling in the wind.
At Tianxianglou, you can enjoy Sichuan, Hunan, and Cantonese cuisine, as well as a variety of home-style dishes.
Xu Yuehuai was already quite capable, having recruited some of the most outstanding cooks in Chang'an City in one fell swoop.
With everyone joining in the celebration, the hotel's birthday is thriving.
This naturally caused headaches for Jiang Mingfu and others.
In the afternoon, Jiang Mingfu, together with eighteen hotels, openly prepared to provoke Xu Yuehuai.
Jiang Mingfu snorted coldly, "Although we are relatives, her current arrogance is clearly ruining our business. This is intolerable."
"Judging from Brother Jiang's words, is he going to put righteousness before family ties?"
"Of course."
All the planning around is nothing more than stabbing each other in the back and causing trouble; so far, there's no better strategy.
From the moment Xu Yuehuai opened the shop, she knew that the future would be fraught with crises and difficulties.
Therefore, they were extremely cautious and walked on thin ice, and no problems arose.
This group called themselves the "Eighteen Guilds".
Jiang Mingfu became the first president without a doubt, and everyone followed his lead.
He was full of ambition and vowed to expel Xu Yuehuai and others from the country.
After the eighteen guilds finished their discussions, Jiang Mingfu returned to his hotel.
Just then, Zhou Qionghua returned. No secrets stay hidden forever, and Zhou Qionghua somehow found out that her lover had cheated on her husband. She was smug about it.
Upon returning, Zhou Qionghua brought gifts for Jiang Shixu.
Jiang Shixu was so deeply affected by the "gentle and tender" Hu Niangzi that he no longer recognized Zhou Qionghua, which hurt the latter greatly.
"Take your thing away. I'm all grown up now, and I don't like playing with these things anymore."
In her memory, her son would yell at her every few days, but Zhou Qionghua was determined to be a good wife and mother, so no matter what happened, she would just let it go with a fawning smile and say, "Okay, okay, I'll prepare whatever you like."
"Why don't you just die?!"
Jiang Shixu roared and slammed the door shut.
Zhou Qionghua stood behind the door for a long time without leaving, tears streaming down her face.
At that moment, Jiang Mingfu returned. Seeing Zhou Qionghua standing at the door of his son's room, he was immediately filled with anger. "What are you doing back here?"
"We're husband and wife, and we're not even divorced yet. What do you think I'd do here?"
My son is so close, yet he feels like he's worlds away.
She was facing her husband, with whom she had shared a bed for many years, but now they were practically strangers.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Mingfu completely ignored Zhou Qionghua.
Not wanting to make a fool of herself, Zhou Qionghua went back alone.
What awaited her was a life of suffering.
Her husband would never give her another penny, so Zhou Qionghua had to work as a maid for the powerful and wealthy, doing nothing more than washing and cleaning, and barely making ends meet.
Just then, Xu Yuehuai passed by Caishikou and saw a woman carrying a wooden basin walking by in a hurry. Several lecherous men were whistling and harassing her from behind, which made her a little angry.
After realizing that the person being teased was Zhou Qionghua, he felt a pang of pity.
"Third Sister, am I seeing things?"
Xu Yuehua wiped her eyes.
Third Sister sneered, "How could your discerning eyes be wrong? It is Zhou Qionghua."
Xu Yuehuai took pity on her and found a little beggar to give her two hundred copper coins. "These one hundred are yours. If you give them to her, she will definitely ask who gave her the money. Just say you don't know."
Not far away, Zhou Qionghua, who had been working day and night, had fallen ill.
Her cough made her tremble all over, but she did her best to lift the heavy wooden basin and slowly made her way into the depths of the alley.
Xu Yuehuai had long known that Jiang Mingfu was no good person.
Seeing that Zhou Qionghua, at her advanced age, has been abandoned, my heart is filled with even greater joy.
Qi Guze arrived just as I returned to the hotel.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were talking when they learned that the secret about the eighteen guilds had been leaked.
Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard about their plan to jointly boycott him.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai laughing, San Niang became anxious, "A Yue, how can you still laugh? We won't have anywhere to stay in the future."
"A joint boycott," Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, would a joint boycott be useful? We're honest and fair to all, our food is better than theirs, and the young princess often brings some noble ladies to patronize us. Our business is booming. Why would I worry about that?"
“What I mean,” Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai, “is that we should play along and see who’s outsmarting whom, how about this…”
It turns out that Qi Guze had already come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
Xu Yuehuai and the others perked up their ears to listen.
After the plan was explained, the two of them smiled.
"Then let's proceed according to the original plan."
The managers of the eighteen guilds were all anxious. With Xu Yuehuai's interference, they had lost all their business, making it even more difficult to do business.
On the contrary, Xu Yuehuai always managed to get what he wanted, no matter how turbulent the situation.
On the day agreed upon by Jiang Mingfu, the Eighteen Guilds specially invited Xu Yuehuai, San Niang, Zhou Wan, and others to discuss the matter. Xu Yuhuai originally planned to go to the meeting alone, but San Niang and Zhou Wan were worried about him.
On this sunny afternoon, the three of them arrived at their destination together.
The managers of the eighteen guilds had all arrived, and Jiang Mingfu was the one who spoke on their behalf.
Jiang Mingfu said coldly, "Xu Yuehuai, we don't care about saving face anymore. You've taken away all our business, so pack your bags and leave now."
"I'm afraid that if I leave now, everyone will be disheartened. I don't know how many chain stores will suffer if I leave."
What chain store is it?
Clearly, Jiang Mingfu was talking nonsense.
Xu Yuehuai smiled and looked at Zhou Wan.
“Daughter-in-law,” she said, sitting calmly beside her. Zhou Wan handed her a tray, which Xu Yuehuai carefully took. It was covered with papers. Xu Yuehuai picked one up casually, glanced at it, and smiled. “This is Mr. Zhang from Tongjitang, this is Manager Wang from Wang Family Hotel, and this is…”
Jiang Mingfu was surprised.
He turned around and looked at the people behind him.
The expressions on those faces all changed.
Mr. Zhang sighed deeply, "Those who know when to yield are the wise ones. I'm sorry."
Boss Zhang turned around and stood behind Xu Yuehuai, calling out affectionately, "Manager."
Xu Yuehuai was very satisfied.
Immediately afterward, Boss Wang, with a lecherous grin, left behind Jiang Mingfu and headed towards Xu Yuehuai, saying, "Manager, with your guidance, our business will be even better in the future. I'm willing to be your servant."
One after another, many people moved from behind Jiang Mingfu to Xu Yuehuai's side.
Jiang Mingfu was puzzled and got up.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, pointing at Xu Yuehuai.
