"Good thing you baozi shop uncle, you’re familiar with this!" After a pause, Xia Chuyi continued, "Thank you for reminding and telling about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about such a situation."
Xia Chuyi’s face showed gratitude.
However, the baozi shop owner’s face turned dark, and he said displeasedly, "What nonsense are you spouting? How am I familiar with this? I just said it casually!"
He was joking, as a baozi shop owner, familiar with bad at? Wouldn’t that be admitting there’s a problem with his baozi filling?
Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Oh, so uncle you’re not familiar with it. I thought you knew because you sounded so certain."
Hearing this, the baozi shop owner’s face grew even darker, "What do you an by that, you country girl?"
Xia Chuyi paused with a smile, "Just like you, baozi uncle, I was just speaking casually without any particular aning."
The baozi shop owner, knowing he wouldn’t gain any advantage over her, then said, "Humph, it’s just a new shop. How long can it last?"
"Don’t get arrogant before your business even picks up."
"This is Capital City, be careful you don’t provoke soone you shouldn’t!" the baozi shop owner said with a hint of threat.
After saying this, he glared fiercely at Xia Chuyi and left.
Xia Chuyi shook her head with a sense of helplessness.
At this mont, the owner of another shop nearby ca over and said to Xia Chuyi, "That guy, his baozi skills aren’t great, but he has so connections, so he’s usually quite arrogant, especially when he sees soone else’s business doing better than his."
"So, comrade, be wary of him in the future and don’t let him catch you off guard."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi thanked the person who had warned her and returned to her business.
She wasn’t doing anything illegal, so what was there to fear from him?
A little while later.
"Chuyi, we’re here!" It was the buddies from Unit 201, as well as so students from the external departnt who were familiar with Xia Chuyi, all coming to support her.
Seeing her classmates, Xia Chuyi was very happy and said to them, "Thank you all for coming to support . Today is the opening day, with a 20% discount! Since you are my classmates, I’ll give you an extra discount—34% off!"
Hearing this, the classmates waved their hands, "No need, no need, no discount necessary."
They ca to support her; how could they let her take a loss?
Xia Chuyi, however, smiled and said, "Today is the opening day, and I’m not looking to make a profit, just to gain so popularity."
"If you co to support, of course, there should be a discount!"
In the end, everyone accepted the discount, after all, Xia Chuyi wanted to earn a good on.
Thanks to this group of friends coming to support her, the shop attracted many more custors, and business began to get on track.
After the support event ended, the students from the external departnt left.
However, Jiang Shuqin, the little foodie, absolutely refused to leave and insisted on helping.
Xia Chuyi couldn’t win her over and let her stay.
After a while longer, soone sent over a flower basket.
The flower basket bore the na Huo.
Upon seeing this flower basket, Jiang Shuqin whispered to Xia Chuyi, "This must be from your man, right?"
Before Xia Chuyi had a chance to reply, suddenly, another flower basket arrived, also bearing the na Huo.
"What’s this now?" Jiang Shuqin was very surprised.
These two flower baskets, both bearing the Huo na, were clearly one ordered by Huo Commander from the Southwest and the other by Huo Chief from the Huo Mansion.
Jiang Shuqin exclaid, "Chuyi, I was initially worried about you but now it seems there’s no need to worry at all!"
"Huo Shiqian’s father, he approves of you!"
Xia Chuyi smiled: Huo Zhongcheng had not really been against her relationship with Huo Shiqian from the start.
The one who objected was Huo Shiqian’s stepmother.
