"What did she give you? Tell me quickly, what did she give you?"
Now Jiang Mingfu is all alone. This group of people who were furious and wanted to tear down Xu Yuehuai's Tianxiang Tower this morning have all gone to Xu Yuehuai's side.
In fact, Qi Guze had been lobbying for Xu Yuehuai for half a month.
If they could incorporate Xu Yuehuai's Tianxianglou into their business and open a branch there, the imperial court would protect their trade and might even bring people to visit.
In short, Xu Yuehuai's arrival has completely changed the market.
If they don't integrate, they will be devoured, which is still a good outcome.
If they insist on going against Xu Yuehuai and his group, they will only meet a violent end.
Xu Yuehuai picked up a blank piece of paper and threw it in front of Jiang Mingfu. "Brother, you can take a look too. If you also want to do franchise business, we welcome you with open arms. Look at them."
Xu Yuehuai pointed to the group of shopkeepers behind him.
"They signed a contract and are now protected. I will not only lead them to make money, but also give them a share of the profits at the end of the year. Most importantly, as long as they join my Tianxiang Restaurant, I will send professional chefs to cook for them, and professional managers will come to lead the development of the store. It's a win-win situation."
"Most importantly, everything is completely better from now on. The clouds have parted and the fog has cleared. I'm sure you will have a bright future."
Everyone nodded.
"Yes, may your wealth increase."
"May you prosper!"
Jiang Mingfu thought that with the public uniting to boycott Xu Yuehuai today, Xu Yuehuai would be finished from now on, but little did he know that Xu Yuehuai was even more powerful than before.
Jiang Mingfu doesn't look to be in good condition.
Xu Yuehuai teased, "Then you can take a look first, I'll be going now."
Xu Yuehuai stood up and looked back at everyone.
"What do you all call me?"
The crowd spoke in unison, "Manager!"
That was truly a resounding and deafening statement.
Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed, "What?"
"Manager!"
Amidst the chorus of praise and admiration, Xu Yuehuai departed. That afternoon, several more shops belonging to Tianxianglou appeared in the capital, each welcoming customers.
Because of the blessing of the name Tianxianglou, people are happy to come inside.
Xu Yuehuai adjusted the prices of the dishes and the profit margins of the drinks again, which brought the prices in almost every Tianxianglou restaurant to a standstill.
After Zhou Wan and San Niang had some free time, all Zhou Wan needed to do each day was to randomly go to one of the stores for a spot check. As for San Niang, who was used to giving orders, she was not idle either. She was perfectly replicating the flagship store's standards according to the exact same management system.
In just half a month, Xu Yuehuai made a lot of money.
As for Jiang Mingfu, surviving in such a precarious situation is already incredibly difficult, and now he's in an even more pitiful state.
Seeing that he had no business left, Jiang Mingfu either drowned his sorrows in alcohol or gambled.
That evening, Jiang Mingfu arrived at a gambling den.
The gambling den was crowded with people, where the legend of "being poor at midnight and rich at dawn" was constantly playing out. People came and went, each enjoying their own lively lives.
Someone lost everything and was thrown out.
Some people laughed loudly, "I'm rich! I'm rich! From now on, I'll be well-fed and clothed for the rest of my life, and my descendants will have hope too!"
But often, these are the people who will come again the next day.
The theory that even a god can lose in the long run doesn't apply here.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the crowd inside, then at Qi Guze.
"Brother Qi, what are you doing bringing me here?" This is really strange. Qi Guze said this afternoon that he would bring me to a mysterious place.
Before Xu Yuehuai arrived, he even had many thoughts about where he would take him.
Looking at it now, it's strange and intriguing to find that the destination is actually a smoky and chaotic gambling den.
What are we doing here?
"You'll find out soon enough," Qi Guze said with a smile. "It's been a long time since we've gone out together. I'll make a fool of myself and show you what it means for a penny to turn into a fortune."
Back in the day, soldiers in the army always enjoyed gambling.
They simply never learn their lesson.
This angered Qi Guze. Although he had adopted the most severe set of punishments to deal with them, life in the army was boring and tedious, and gambling was the main activity to regulate his emotions.
In order to fit in, Qi Guze learned how to cheat.
His methods were so sophisticated that almost no one would suspect anything.
At that very moment, Qi Guze indeed took out a single coin with a serious expression.
Xu Yuehuai asked in surprise, "We only bet one penny, why would they gamble with us?"
"It's alright, we still have you, don't we?" Qi Guze pointed at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai almost didn't react.
But she soon realized that she was also one of the bets. The man opposite her was a weasel-faced man with a pointed mouth. He leered at his sparse beard and grinned, "This young lady is also a bet? Scholar, you'd better be willing to accept the consequences of your bet. If you lose, I'm really going to take you away."
Xu Yuehuai became anxious, "I'm not going with him."
Qi Guze, however, was absolutely certain, saying, "They won't win, don't worry."
The man opposite him sneered, "How arrogant! Young man, I'll make sure you can't take back what's done."
"Bring it on."
Qi Guze sneered.
Qi Guze quickly achieved a resounding victory. The man was astonished, sensing something was amiss but unable to pinpoint what it was. "Could it be that I've encountered the God of Gamblers today?"
Qi Guze smiled but remained silent.
Xu Yuehuai followed behind, smugly pleased with himself.
"I knew Your Highness wouldn't let me lose to anyone else." Xu Yuehuai was preoccupied with the hotel business. Seeing that the city lights were coming on and Qi Guze still showed no sign of leaving, she felt strange. "Where are we going and what are we doing?"
"Don't worry, he'll be here soon."
turn out to be……
So it was a case of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
Xu Yuehuai waited for a while.
To my surprise, I saw Jiang Mingfu, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. It turned out that Jiang Mingfu had changed completely since he was framed and cuckolded that day.
These days, people either drown their sorrows in alcohol or gamble away fortunes at casinos.
Having little money to begin with, Jiang Mingfu, who fantasized about getting rich overnight, placed numerous bets. The more he lost, the more he wanted to win back his losses. Now, Jiang Mingfu has become bloodthirsty.
Qi Guze prepared a mask for Xu Yuehuai.
"Let's go find him and gamble."
"They'll be recognized."
Qi Guze laughed heartily, "Nine out of ten people who come here are outlaws. Who knows who? Besides," Qi Guze pointed in all directions, "there are plenty of people wearing masks."
Xu Yuehuai looked closely and saw that there were indeed countless people wearing masks.
Xu Yuehuai was delighted.
The two appeared nonchalant, but their prey was actually Jiang Mingfu.
