Chapter 482: Buy Tickets
As Tong Yao expected, the minute Shi Yan’s store reverted to normal price, customers vanished like smoke into thin air. Conversely, her storefront was now flooding with customers.
Watching Wenwen hustling around elated her. Having been closed down for so long, she felt guilty about collecting her paycheck, but now things were finally looking up. Based on the current situation, in just a few days of business, she’d be able to make up for the losses.
Business had returned to the same scale as before the tea shop across the street appeared; it was booming.
Haggard, after watching their shop return to solitude, Shi Yan and Lin Man wore faces like a dyspeptic stomach. Conversely, the shop assistants were in good spirits. After a week of hard work without increased pay, and bosses throwing tantrums about earnings, they yearned for some downtime.
Being shop assistants, they hoped for less business, after all, who wouldn’t prefer getting paid without having to work?
"These people are so heartless. We offered them free tea, and now the minute we hike the price, they immediately dart off to Tong Yao’s tea shop. What’s the difference between them and an ungrateful pack of wolves?" Enraged, Lin Man raged at Shi Yan as they observed their shop.
These people had enjoyed their generosity for so long that now, when they would have been expected to return the favor, they turned to Tong Yao’s shop instead.
With a grim expression on his face, Shi Yan fiercely said, "Let Tong Yao have her moment, once we make some money, I will slash down prices until Tong Yao’s shop shuts down for good."
Lin Man glanced sidelong at him, "You claim to have a good relationship with Xiao Mingqiang, yet, the second money comes into the fold, people shy away in fear. They are reluctant to lend you money to undercut Tong Yao’s tea shop."
If only Xiao Mingqiang were supporting them, they could’ve driven Tong Yao’s tea shop out of business.
