Chapter 385: Competitors are now more vicious the closer they are to relatives (p. 12)
After Qin Huairu returned to the store, she called Xiaodang and Huaihua over and said sternly: "None of you are allowed to go to Xu Damao's restaurant to pay bills. If you have to go, you have to pay for it yourself."
Xiaodang didn't say anything and glanced sideways at Sophora japonica. It didn't matter whether Xiaodang went or not. What Xiaodang wanted was to fight for this.
Sophora japonica stamped her feet angrily. Yesterday she was talking nicely, but today she changed her attitude. It must be Xiaodang's fault. Sophora japonica couldn't help but glared at Xiaodang hatefully. Xiaodang was unwilling to be outdone. He glared back.
The two of them looked at each other angrily like cockfighting cocks, which gave Qin Huairu a headache. Immediately, Qin Huairu came up with an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, and sent Xiao Dang to serve the customers and chased Sophora japonica away. The cook helped and separated them temporarily.
After the restaurant closed in the evening and Qin Huairu's family returned home, Huaihua quietly came to Qin Huairu's house.
"Mom, didn't we agree that I can go to Xu Damao's place to settle accounts in the future? Besides, I don't go there every day to settle accounts, I just go there occasionally," Huaihua said.
Previously, Sophora japonica was still able to fool Qin Huairu. Now, after Li Huaide's guidance, Qin Huairu recognized the reality. Although there was still a trace of luck in her heart, Qin Huairu was able to look at Sophora japonica's matter rationally.
"Huaihua, you can go to Xu Damao's to hang up your account, but there is a prerequisite. If you are admitted to a first-class university such as Yanjing University, I will allow you to go to Xu Damao's to hang up your account once every two weeks; if you are admitted to an ordinary university If you go to university, then go there once a month;”
"If you can't get into college, you won't be able to go even once! Your goal now is to study, study hard, and try to get into college!" Qin Huairu said sternly.
Qin Huairu himself is an opportunist. Qin Huairu thinks Huaihua's words are reasonable, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, there must be a stepping stone to break into the other party's circle.
Getting into college is the stepping stone.
Qin Huairu made up his mind to urge Huaihua to go to college, so no matter how coquettishly Huaihua acted, Qin Huairu never let go.
Sophora japonica had no choice but to return to her room depressedly. Xiaodang naturally kept staring at Sophora japonica and couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw Sophora japonica returning without success.
"Xiaodang, don't be so proud." After saying this, Huaihua returned to her room bitterly.
"It must be Xiaodang who is causing trouble. Xiaodang, just wait for me. After I marry into a powerful family, I will deal with you properly." Huaihua thought to herself.
In this way, Xiaodang and Huaihua temporarily calmed down under Qin Huairu's pressure.
Qin Huairu thought that the peaceful days would continue, but unexpectedly, not even a week later, something went wrong again. This time it was not that Xiaodang and Huaihua went to Xu Damao's restaurant to settle accounts, or there was an internal dispute between the two sisters. However, Qin Huairu clearly noticed that business was not doing well and there were fewer and fewer people.
Qin Huairu didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was a normal situation. However, in the next week, Qin Huairu found that customers had been losing. In the past, it was not said that it was full every day, but it was about the same. At most, there were one or two empty tables. Now it is better. There are only one or two tables at noon, and at most three or four tables at night.
As time passed, Qin Huairu couldn't hold it any longer, so she asked regular customers. After asking, she learned that a duck hotpot restaurant had also appeared on another street less than fifty meters away from Qin Huairu's restaurant.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but "thump~" in her heart, and an ominous feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
"This is a business grab." Qin Huairu thought to herself, instinctively feeling that this had something to do with Xu Damao.
Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and prepared to inquire about it. Qin Huairu went there wearing a police uniform to put pressure on the new store.
Qin Huairu went to the new store at noon. When she arrived, Qin Huairu did not go in. Instead, she looked carefully outside the store. Qin Huairu found that the appearance of this new store was exactly the same as her own store;
When Qin Huairu walked in, she found that the area, the placement of tables, chairs and benches, and the decoration style were all exactly the same. The only difference is that this store is tidy, and you can tell that care has been taken.
Moreover, this store uses waiters, and Qin Huairu can tell at a glance that these waiters have received professional training.
"I can't run away. It must be Xu Damao's fault." Qin Huairu thought to herself.
Qin Huairu had no intention of sitting down to eat, but was looking around by herself. Qin Huairu knew very well that since she was wearing a police uniform, they would not dare to kick her away.
Although the waiter had been trained, he had a natural fear of Qin Huairu's police uniform. Seeing that Qin Huairu ignored him, the waiter asked Qin Huairu to sit down. Qin Huairu also refused to sit down, so the waiter invited the boss out.
"You are Xiao Qin, right?" The boss said with a smile after he came out.
"Who are you?" Qin Huairu took a careful look at the boss in front of him. He saw that the boss was in his early sixties and had a gentle face. Qin Huairu always had a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had seen this person before, but could not remember it.
"I am Yu Dacheng. My eldest daughter, Yu Li, married into your courtyard. We met several times back then. I didn't expect that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Not only has Xiao Qin not aged, but he has become more handsome and more handsome than me. The old man is much better," Father Yu said with a smile.
When Xu Damao asked Yu Li to find her parents to open a store, Yu's father had already thought of this situation and had already thought of an excuse.
"It turns out to be Uncle Yu. Is this the shop you opened?" Qin Huairu said.
"Yes, come, let's chat upstairs, Xiao Liu, make a pot of tea and bring out my good tea leaves." Father Yu enthusiastically invited Qin Huairu upstairs.
Qin Huairu arrived upstairs and found that the layout and decoration of the private room upstairs were exactly the same as her own store.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. The two stores are almost identical in every aspect. Yu Fu's restaurant gives people a warm, quiet and comfortable feeling, while Qin Huairu's restaurant gives people a messy feeling.
This is the feeling between ordinary and exquisite. Regardless of all aspects of Yu's father's restaurant, anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is done with care.
"I'm not retiring now. My eldest daughter Yu Li saw that I couldn't stay idle and had nothing to do at home, so she insisted on letting me open a shop. I said I had no money, so my eldest daughter opened a shop for me with her own money. The chef and waiter are here, just come over and take care of the accounting," Father Yu said straight to the point.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden at all, and there is no need to hide it.
Father Yu was so calm that Qin Huairu was speechless.
Xu Damao did this to defeat Qin Huairu in an honest way. If Qin Huairu resorted to unspeakable means, Yu's father would not be afraid. Yu Li was on the street and Xu Damao was at the police station. In terms of background, Qin Huairu was no match.
"Uncle Yu, how is business?" Qin Huairu asked.
"Business is very good. Except for noon, it is full every day in the evening and you have to queue up. I really didn't expect that a small restaurant can be so profitable." Father Yu said with a smile on his face.
Father Yu smiled happily, but Qin Huairu's face was full of bitterness. Qin Huairu didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that Father Yu's restaurant had taken away his customers and asked Father Yu to close the restaurant.
If you do this yourself, let’s not talk about whether it can be done. If it is done, wouldn’t it be like using power to oppress others? If you do this, how will your superiors view you?
