Chapter 627 - 058 Business Booming_1
As Lin Yuan listened to these gossip-filled news, she couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Shopkeeper Chen, who was in prison. One was a nearly fifty-year-old man, and the other a butler in his thirties. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like Shopkeeper Chen, the older man, had been cuckolded by his wife and his butler, even raising a son for someone else for many years.
However, Lin Yuan regarded these matters as trivial, as she was quite busy. She had to take care of the renovations at the winehouse, while also managing the launch of the hot pot.
Just because Lin Yuan didn’t care about these issues didn’t mean others felt the same. When the Family Head of Meng Family Wine House, Meng Tong, heard about what the butler had discovered, he was livid. Smashing the teacup in his hand, he growled in a low voice, "I spent so much silver hiring hoodlums to make trouble, how did it end up that others have taken advantage, damn it!"
The butler frowned, also incredulous, "It’s said that someone has brought in the local thugs of the town; our hired ruffians are just minor henchmen, nothing compared to them. Sir, it seems we’ve been outplayed this time."
Meng Tong was well aware of this, but now that the shop was gone, there was no use in saying anything else. His sinister eyes moved as he asked, "Has it been found out who bought that shop?"
"It’s said to be a country woman from outside the city, surnamed Liu. Probably doesn’t have much of a background, only that, it seems she is also planning to open a wine house."
"Also opening a wine house?" Meng Tong’s lips curled into a half-smile, as if anticipating a good show, "To open a wine house is fine by me; I’ll let her see who is truly the top wine provider of Zhuma Town."
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Fuman Building officially launched their hot pot, and just as Lin Yuan had anticipated, the hot pot created an uproar throughout the entire city the moment it hit the market.
That day, nearly all the tables in the hall were taken, not to mention the elegant rooms; there were even people willing to share a table with others to dine.
