296: Chapter 295: Never Go Easy (5 updates) 296: Chapter 295: Never Go Easy (5 updates) Sun Qiang returned to the hotel where he was staying, found the phone, and called his wife who was far away in Hai City.
He told her about his desire to get into the restaurant business.
His wife ca to Nancheng County at once, insisting Sun Qiang take her to Xu Niannian’s family restaurant.
After eating Xu Niannian’s Butter Sauce noodles, Sun Qiang’s wife also beca very interested in opening a restaurant.
But the current problem was, who exactly was the chef of this place?
And most importantly, the issue of the difficulty involved.
They learned that Xu Niannian’s family’s Butter Sauce noodles required only two things, one was Butter Sauce, and the other was the rich soup in the bowl.
They could purchase the Butter Sauce in bulk from here, but the soup was a different matter altogether.
Unless the chef was willing to train chefs for them, or was willing to hand over the secret recipe for the soup.
But that was obviously unrealistic, who would give away their own secret recipe for no reason, and even money might not make it possible.
But no matter what, the two of them had to try.
Sun Qiang wouldn’t have gotten to where he was today without his wife’s contributions; when it ca to seeing business opportunities, he couldn’t hold a candle to her.
So when both of them felt there was money to be made, no matter how difficult it was, they had to give it a try.
Sun Qiang was rather direct, going straight to Yang Cuihua.
That day, when Xu Niannian confronted those making trouble at her restaurant, he heard Xu Niannian calling Yang Cuihua mother.
The first question he asked Yang Cuihua was about the shelf life of the Butter Sauce.
Ever since the incident with Du Wenwen’s family stealing their secret recipe, Yang Cuihua had beco extrely cautious.
So, upon hearing that this person was inquiring about the Butter Sauce, she imdiately beca very wary and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Seeing Yang Cuihua’s guarded deanor, Sun Qiang’s wife hurriedly spoke in a gentle tone, “Auntie, don’t be nervous.
We’re here to discuss business.
I see that your family’s Butter Sauce noodles are doing well, and we want to talk about a cooperation with you.
I’ve heard that your daughter is the owner of this restaurant, so could you please help us speak to her about it?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Cuihua’s worries subsided, but she was still careful not to drop her guard and discussed with them, moving her lips several tis before saying, “Wait here, I’ll go call my daughter.”
Although she was cautious, hearing that the other party was here to discuss a partnership, Yang Cuihua took it seriously.
She hurriedly went to find her daughter.
Xu Niannian happened to co to the shop.
These past few days, being sweet with Jin Yu, she had almost forgotten that she was still the boss.
She ca to the shop to check, in case there was any unexpected situation.
Of course, it wasn’t that she had been idly ssing around with Jin Yu all these days; mainly, she didn’t want to go out because of a stomachache.
She also did one other thing.
That was, to fight fire with fire.
She found people to deal with the restaurant next door.
So these past few days, things like this kept happening at the restaurant next door.
During al tis, when there were slightly more custors, soone would suddenly exclaim, “Ah, boss, how co there are bugs in your vegetables?”
Or they would say, “Boss, your vegetables aren’t washed clean, right?
Why is there still dirt on them?”
All sorts of reasons and excuses were made, just to make others believe that the restaurant next door wasn’t handling food cleanly.
Today, Xu Niannian was also here to see what the results were like.
That day, after the plot where her neighbor deliberately found soone to falsely accuse Xu Niannian’s family, claiming that eating their butter sauce noodles could lead to food poisoning, was exposed, their already struggling business suffered even more.
But there were still so custors.
During the peak dining hours, there were still several tables occupied, barely enough to keep the business going, albeit with little profit.
However, after Xu Niannian hired soone to sabotage it, even that scant number of patrons disappeared.
The mont Xu Niannian arrived, she saw the neighboring shop owner lift a stool and sit at the door, sighing heavily and even shouting a few tis at passersby who walked past.
She was running the restaurant like a street vendor, but sadly for her, the street vendors’ business was doing a lot better.
Seeing her competitor’s business so desolate, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but show a gratified smile, thinking that the money she’d spent on sabotage had not been wasted.
Xu Niannian did not regret what she had done at all.
In business, it’s push and pull; if you offend first, don’t bla for being ruthless.
It’s either you take down, or I take you down.
Originally, everyone could have lived in peace, with each running their own shop.
Even if her business was better, the neighbor’s wouldn’t have been so bad as to not make any profit.
But so people just had to make trouble for themselves.
And she was certainly not soone who could be easily manipulated and molded by others.
Just after the shop owner next door had finished yelling, she saw Xu Niannian and, thinking of all the things that had happened these past days, felt an itch in her teeth from anger and charged over to angrily accuse, “It was you, wasn’t it?
You deliberately had people slander my restaurant’s reputation.”
In the past few days, the incidents of finding insects and dirt in the food at the shop owner’s place had spread, and many people were aware of the lack of cleanliness in her cooking.
Actually, they also suspected it was Xu Niannian’s revenge.
But everyone had different thoughts; even if it was revenge, so what?
You were the one who frad soone first.
Her loud shouting attracted the attention of both the custors in Xu Niannian’s shop and the pedestrians on the street to her and Xu Niannian.
Did Xu Niannian not know what the shop owner was thinking?
Therefore, she scoffed coldly, “Boss Liu, you can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak recklessly.
Do you really think that just because you like to indulge in petty and despicable sches, others are like you?”
“Are you calling petty?” The shop owner was livid, pointing at Xu Niannian’s nose and cursing, “Do you dare say it wasn’t you who sent people to cause trouble at my place, claiming there were insects in my food?”
Xu Niannian unceremoniously snapped the finger that was pointed in her face, producing a “smack” sound, which showed how forcefully she did it.
“Boss Liu, when you speak, you need evidence.
When I called the police to arrest you, there were witnesses and the money you gave as physical evidence.
Now you accuse without proof, claiming I sent soone to cause trouble at your place.
Do you really think I am easy to bully?”
With that slap, Xu Niannian turned the neighboring shop owner’s hand red.
Unable to win the argunt, the shop owner tried to hit Xu Niannian, shouting, “I’ll scratch you to death, you vixen.”
The shop owner couldn’t stand seeing Xu Niannian with such an enviable face and lashed out, trying to scratch and mar Xu Niannian’s face, with all the malice almost spilling from her eyes.
Ever since Jin Yu had taught Xu Niannian self-defense techniques, she practiced them every day, no matter how busy, together with Xu Zhiqiang.
How could she be soone that the shop owner could bully at will?
Seeing her malicious attempt to scratch her face, Xu Niannian dodged and pushed her away unceremoniously, sending her tumbling to the ground.
The shop owner was determined to pick a fight with Xu Niannian and made as if to create a scene by making a fuss around her.
Before she could start her tantrum, Xu Niannian sternly warned, “If you still want to live in Nancheng County, you’d better give up your crooked sches, or I won’t go easy on you.”
