Jiang Wanwan was the first to enter Baibaoxuan.
There were noticeably fewer customers at Baibaoxuan than when she last visited. She guessed it was because Wanhuofang was selling mosquito coils, which diverted most of the customers.
In addition, Wanhuofang's excellent service led customers to choose it more often after comparing different options.
No wonder Zhang Qinghua was so anxious; it turns out that Baibaoxuan's business has declined significantly.
The servant grinned and shouted, "Manager, Miss Jiang is here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinghua, who was collecting money, immediately looked up in their direction. His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Wanwan, as if he had seen a god of wealth.
"My dear niece, you've finally arrived! Your uncle has been waiting for you day and night." Zhang Qinghua's attitude towards Jiang Wanwan underwent a complete 180-degree change, and he was extremely enthusiastic towards her.
He seemed to have completely forgotten about threatening Jiang Wanwan last time.
At this moment, Zhang Qinghua couldn't continue processing payments for the customers. Instead, he called over another servant in the shop. "Xiao Liu, come and help me collect the money. I have something to do."
"Yes, shopkeeper." The servant named Xiao Liu went to the counter and took Zhang Qinghua's place.
Without saying a word to the customers, Zhang Qinghua walked straight out from behind the counter and came to Jiang Wanwan.
"My dear niece, please come in." Zhang Qinghua put on a fawning smile and gestured for her to come in. Then, he instructed the servant who had just greeted Jiang Wanwan, "Xiao Wang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and brew a pot of good tea."
The servant behind Jiang Wanwan quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
After saying that, Xiao Wang left in a flash.
With a smile, Zhang Qinghua politely welcomed Jiang Wanwan and the other two into a reception room. "Niece, nephew, Brother Jiang, please sit down, don't be so formal with me."
Jiang Wanwan and the other two smiled politely and then sat down as instructed.
“My dear niece, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you come to town. It’s really been difficult to see you,” Zhang Qinghua said.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and said, "Hey, I've been busy rushing to complete a large order lately. I'm delivering it to the county town today, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to come here."
A dark glint flashed in Zhang Qinghua's eyes as he asked, seemingly casually, "Oh? I wonder which shop placed the order?"
Could it be the department store next door?
Because of the mosquito coil incident, Wanhuofang's business became unprecedentedly booming, with the store packed with people every day, causing the business of Baibaoxuan to suffer considerably.
If Wanhuofang puts a large batch of mosquito coils on its shelves, Baibaoxuan's position in the county town will be in jeopardy!
To put it bluntly, it's quite possible that Baibaoxuan's business will decline from this point on!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qinghua wished he could go back to ten days ago and slap himself hard a few times.
It's all my fault for being short-sighted, which is why I refused to cooperate with Jiang Wanwan!
After saying that, Zhang Qinghua waited anxiously for Jiang Wanwan to answer his question.
Jiang Wanwan was about to speak when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Boss, the tea is here," Xiao Wang said loudly, oblivious to the tense atmosphere inside.
After being interrupted, Jiang Wanwan simply shut her mouth.
Zhang Qinghua said irritably, "Okay, bring it in quickly."
Why send it earlier or later? Why did it have to be sent right when Jiang Wanwan was answering his question?
Xiao Wang, having received permission, happily brought up the tea.
Upon meeting Zhang Qinghua's murderous gaze, Xiao Wang's smile immediately froze on his face.
