Chapter 332 The Malicious Intentions of the Restaurant Across the Street
Pei Yuan showed no remorse for being caught peeping; instead, he bowed to Wan Qiqi opposite him.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" Ade looked in the direction Pei Yuan was bowing and saw Wan Qiqi raise her middle finger in their direction before closing the window tightly.
He mimicked Wan Qiqi's gesture, staring blankly at his own hand. "Shopkeeper, what does she mean?"
Pei Yuan glanced at Ade's gesture, "In short, it won't be anything good! Since she came to Mingyuefang, she must know that someone is behind this."
Ade nodded, agreeing with Pei Yuan's words, "Shopkeeper, shall we continue?"
Although Xinglong Restaurant is worlds apart from the guests from all directions.
However, opening a restaurant opposite Bafang Laike is clearly a provocation against Bafang Laike's status in Hefeng Town.
That woman had previously provoked Guanshi Village in Baizhi Town, causing the village head of Guanshi Village to be punished and fall ill.
As villagers of Guanshi Village, we must avenge this grudge!
Pei Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the horizontal bar twice, pondered for a moment, and said, "Everyone knows what those dancers at Mingyue Pavilion are like; they can't make a fuss."
"So we're just going to ignore it?" Ade asked.
“Since they’ve invited Mingyuefang, then let’s help them spread the word and make them disappear from Hefeng Town.” Pei Yuan smiled, but his slightly narrowed eyes were like the winter sun, devoid of any warmth.
Ade was a little confused. "Isn't this helping them spread the word?"
"Wouldn't it be even more satisfying to spray someone high into the air and then drop them in front of everyone?" Pei Yuan's smile grew even brighter.
Ade felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the smile on his shopkeeper's face.
He had a feeling that the shopkeeper was about to do something big!
But the thought of punishing that wicked woman made him feel good, and he asked, "Shopkeeper, what should we do next?"
Pei Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped, beckoned to Ade, and whispered in his ear.
Ade's expression grew increasingly varied as Pei Yuan whispered to him, eventually turning into excitement and revealing a look of eager anticipation.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'll definitely get it done for you and make sure that wicked woman can never recover!"
"Achoo!" Wan Qiqi sneezed several times in a row.
She rubbed her nose and turned to look at the closed window.
Why do I feel like someone is insulting me?
"Qiqi, have you caught a cold?" Zhu Chengye asked with concern when he saw her like this.
"No, no, let's continue." Wan Qiqi wiped her nose and said, "Tell everyone to be more careful these next few days, especially with the ingredients. No one outside the restaurant should be allowed into the backyard."
“You’re afraid…” Zhu Chengye turned his head to look at the tightly closed window.
The meaning was self-evident to both of them.
“Now that they’ve started, they certainly won’t let this go so easily, so we should proceed with caution.” Wan Qiqi’s eyes darkened slightly as she said seriously, “If it’s just disrupting the restaurant’s opening, that’s a small matter. I’m afraid they want more than that!”
If Guanshi Village is involved, then this matter is not as simple as just preventing the restaurant from opening.
Wan Qiqi wasn't stupid. After learning that Bafang Laike was targeting Xinglong Restaurant, she immediately asked Wu Gousheng to inquire about Bafang Laike.
The village head of Guanshi Village has found a good son-in-law!
His daughter married into a wealthy family in Baizhi Town.
This wealthy family happened to be the Pei family, who had dismissed all the music troupes.
It's easy to imagine that the Pei family is the boss behind all the visitors from all directions!
These people probably don't just want to ruin Xinglong Restaurant; they want to drag her down with them!
Zhu Chengye hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "You suspect it's related to the matter of Guanshi Village?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Qiqi's eyes.
She didn't expect that Zhu Chengye was also aware of this relationship.
But after a moment, she felt that this was normal.
Zhu Chengye had been running a shop in Hefeng Town for several years and was also interested in opening a restaurant, so he would naturally investigate these matters thoroughly.
Wan Qiqi did not confirm Zhu Chengye's question, but said jokingly, "I just suspect that they and I may have a personal grudge."
Then, she leaned back in her chair and said, "If the restaurant has to close down because of my personal grudges, then I'll be a sinner!"
She spoke so casually that it was impossible to tell how much of it was true or false.
Zhu Chengye paused for a moment upon hearing this, then lowered his head and remained silent.
After a long silence, his gaze hardened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This restaurant is my life's work, and I will not let anyone ruin its opening!"
Wan Qiqi was the partner he chose; she was the most suitable one among all the people he had met!
How could such a business genius give up because of something so trivial?
Let alone guests from all directions and the Pei family, even if the county magistrate comes to beat people, he will still open his business and make it a great success!
Your Excellency, Magistrate?
Zhu Chengye suddenly paused, then quickly said, "Qiqi, aren't you on good terms with the magistrate's family? Since the restaurant is opening, I'd like to invite the magistrate to a meal there. Would you be so kind as to..."
Wan Qiqi opened her eyes, turned her head and stared at Zhu Chengye for a long time. "The magistrate is busy with official duties and I'm afraid he won't have time!" To think that a small restaurant could invite the magistrate to visit is simply a pipe dream!
She didn't say the second half of her sentence, but she had other plans in mind.
The county magistrate can't come, but that little devil can.
Tell her that he will be in charge of the cooking, and that within a few hours, she will be able to travel from Yunhe County to Hefeng Town.
However, this was originally a matter between her and Guanshi Village, but once the government officials were involved, things changed!
“Brother Zhu, only by doing a good job ourselves can we ensure stable development in the future. If we rely on other people’s connections, our restaurant will be implicated when that person falls from grace.”
