Chapter 600: Ringtone of 607_1
Xiao Qingcang laughed and smoothed the tendrils of Shen Hanqian’s hair. "I fear we’ve worn you out, Qianqian."
Shen Hanqian nodded vigorously. "Indeed, it’s downright exhausting!"
She complained and looked at Lin Xiangwan and Qin Muchuan, pouring out her grievances to her boyfriend. "Qingcang, you have no idea. This married couple only thinks about how to make money, leaving all the work to others. Qin Muchuan’s creative ideas are good, but they have also attracted a lot of elderly people. This group is really hard to deal with. For instance, if they order two and a half pounds of food, they insist on being charged only for two pounds. Frustratingly, when they order almost three pounds, they still want to be charged for just two pounds. These people are simply shameless. I can’t fathom their love for petty advantages. At that time, I genuinely felt like giving them some ditch oil."
"Haha..." Xiao Qingcang chuckled.
Qin Muchuan and Lin Xiangwan exchanged a glance. This issue was indeed troublesome.
Particularly Qin Muchuan, who frowned slightly. He hadn’t taken this aspect into account. "In the end, how did you handle it?"
He glanced first at Lin Xiangwan, then at Shen Hanqian.
"Happily for us, we’re both Economics undergrads. Plus we were medalists in the mathematics Olympiad during primary school. So, we simply charged them by the number two - putting an end to their petty haggling. These elderly ladies, each with calculators in hand and counting away even after getting their change, were a sight," Shen Hanqian said, exasperated.
Lin Xiangwan concurred with her. "These elders came only because of the ongoing discount. Once it ends, no matter how delicious my food is, they won’t show up. Right now, they occupy several of my prime selling hours, leaving no time to serve my regular clientele. What should I do about this situation?"
Qin Muchuan was lost in thought. "There’s a silver lining in every cloud. Actually, these older uncles and aunties are like walking advertisements for you."
