The four people entered the restaurant, and Yu Jinsheng gave a few instructions before leaving.
"Hey, why did Uncle Yu leave?"
It was lunchtime, but the restaurant was deserted and quiet. The three of them chose a table by the window.
Dong Yike sat down on one side first, while Yu Mobai sat down opposite her.
"Old Yu is just missing his wife, what's the point of him eating with us young people?"
He looked at Ji Mushu with a grin, "Mushu, please sit down."
Ji Mushu looked around with her beautiful eyes. Although her face was expressionless, she was still a little conflicted inside.
Several times when he met Dong Yike's gaze, he could see the teasing look in her eyes.
After a while, she still chose to sit next to Yu Mobai.
"Wow, you're quite proactive today."
Yu Mobai chuckled and teased, but Ji Mushu kept a straight face and snorted, "I just don't want to sit with her."
"Listen to your sister's advice and eat your fill."
Dong Yike said something that only the two of them could understand.
Ji Mushu guiltily turned her head away, refusing to pay attention to her. She knew she would never win an argument with her.
So, when it came time to order, the two started arguing.
Dong Yike: "Let's order some Sichuan-style spicy chicken."
Ji Mushu: "I don't like eating chicken."
Dong Yike: "How about we order some sweet and sour pork?"
Ji Mushu: "It's too greasy. I prefer something light."
Dong Yike: "Then let's have one..."
Ji Mushu: "No."
Yu Mobai didn't stop them, just watched quietly as the two of them fought like children.
Before long, his gaze shifted to the restaurant.
This road, like the one near Mobai Supermarket, used to be quite bustling, but it was gradually squeezed out by ZTE.
Several waiters were sitting idly by, even though they should have been busy during lunchtime.
He glanced at the wall; it was just one wall away, right behind his family's supermarket.
"Since the debate continues, let's play a game."
Yu Mobai chuckled and stopped the two of them, saying, "The supermarket is still short two thousand yuan for advertising. Whoever can persuade the boss to sponsor it, we'll listen to them."
"Two thousand yuan?"
Ji Mushu pouted, "Who would give you two thousand yuan for nothing?"
"Of course you would."
Yu Mobai took out four thousand yuan from his pocket and told the two of them what had happened that morning.
"Mo Bai, awesome."
Dong Yike's mouth gaped slightly, her eyes filled with surprise. "You're not from a pyramid scheme background, are you?"
"I call this resource integration."
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "I've given you the method. Does anyone want to give it a try?"
Ji Mushu pouted and pushed the menu over, "I don't know how, you go ahead."
"Damn, it's just a scam."
Dong Yike shook her head. "Wait for my good news."
"Don't use profanity when you speak."
Yu Mobai gave some instructions.
"I never swear when I speak!"
Dong Yike got up, full of fighting spirit, and went to ask the waiter where the boss was. Then she went to the bar and started to deceive people.
"Yu Mobai, I'm hungry."
Ji Mushu tilted her head and listened quietly, her face full of worry. "Won't we be kicked out later?"
"I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
Yu Mobai noticed that Dong Yike's smile was fading, and he knew that things were definitely not going well for her.
Sure enough, not long after, she returned like a defeated rooster, and pushed the menu to Ji Mushu, saying, "I lost, you order."
"I should order."
Yu Mobai took the menu and ordered eight dishes with a grin.
Then he got up and walked to the front of the stage, saying, "Watch Brother Dian's performance."
There were only two people left at the table.
Ji Mushu snorted coldly, "How shameful."
"What's so shameful about it? You wouldn't dare."
Dong Yike didn't care about her attitude at all. On the contrary, she was very interested in asking, "What, are you planning to take the initiative?"
"None of your business?"
Ji Mushu turned her head away, then suddenly remembered something and said, "If you like it, hurry up and take it."
Why would I rob him?
Dong Yike's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said in a sweet voice, "I'm waiting for you to call me 'sister'!"
Ji Mushu's expression froze, and she blinked as if she didn't understand.
"Oh, my silly little sister."
Dong Yike tucked her hair behind her ear, walked over and whispered in her ear, "When the time comes, we'll have to choose the person to accompany you."
...
"I've already told you, don't come again. I don't need to participate in any activities."
The boss didn't seem very approachable. "I can't even make much money in just one day. Two thousand yuan is more than I can earn in half a month."
"Hey bro, wanna have a cigarette?"
Yu Mobai offered a cigarette, "I've been eating here since I was a kid. You've been running this restaurant for over ten years, haven't you?"
How did you know?
The boss took the cigarette and sighed, "I've been working here since the 1990s."
Yu Mobai shifted his gaze from a plaque on the bar counter. "My family's supermarket is right next to your restaurant, how could I not know? I've been eating here since I was a child."
When discussing cooperation, we need to talk about feelings first; you can't rely on one trick to succeed in everything.
Appliance superstores and stationery stores are easy to deal with because you know the people there, but you don't know much about these kinds of stores, so you can't treat them the same way.
"Hey, are you from the supermarket up ahead?"
The boss's expression relaxed a bit upon hearing this. "That girl didn't say which supermarket she was from. I thought she was just using the pretense of discussing cooperation to freeload."
Then he called out to the kitchen, "Let's cook!"
Yu Mobai's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "I can't bring two girls along just because I'm freeloading."
"That's true, that's true."
The boss looked a little embarrassed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Isn't this a plan to get a few more companies involved in some activities to liven things up here?"
Yu Mobai said, "A lot of businesses are already closing down. If we don't come up with a solution soon, this whole area will probably be ruined."
"What you said makes sense."
The boss shook his head. "It's all Zhongxing Supermarket's fault. There's nothing we can do about it."
"There's nothing we can do."
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "Big brother, would you like to come with me to the supermarket up ahead and take a look?"
"Sure, there aren't many people around anyway."
The boss gave him some instructions, and then he followed him to the front.
I could see a pile of cardboard boxes at the supermarket entrance from afar, and only when I got closer could I see that they were all refrigerators!
Was the girl from earlier not lying to him?
Yu Mobai pointed to the home appliance store and stationery store across the street before revealing the specific plan.
The boss's expression was quite interesting, but he still didn't say anything.
Finally, Yu Mobai spoke up, "Big brother, look, our supermarket and your restaurant are only separated by a wall. What if we smashed a door through that wall..."
