As time passed, night fell quietly.

When Yan Jiekuang went to the restaurant to pick up Guan Xiaoguan after get off work as usual, he was surprised to notice that there was always a layer of melancholy on her face.

"Little lazy cat, what happened? Why are you unhappy?"

Yan Jiekuang stared at Guan Xiaoguan with concern, his eyes full of worry.

Facing his caring eyes, Guan Xiaoguan seemed to have found a spiritual pillar, and complained with grievance: "Jin Changsheng has reopened! And this time not only has the owner changed, but he is also an expert. After only three days, the customer flow of our restaurant has dropped by half!"

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, his heart sank.

However, what surprised him even more was that Guan Xiaoguan added: "What's even more outrageous is that just two days ago when they opened their business, that Su Meng actually brought Meng Xiaoxing to our gathering of friends to openly provoke us."

Yan Jiekuang was indeed completely unaware of this matter, but when he saw that there seemed to be a dispute between the two women, he felt helpless for a moment.

As a man, Yan Jiekuang really couldn't get too entangled with a woman.

Besides, the other party did not do anything substantially excessive, so he would not get angry easily.

"Okay, then you can compete with her. It's not a big deal. Why are you so unhappy?"

Yan Jiekuang looked at Guan Xiaoguan who had a sad face and comforted her softly, "I opened this restaurant for you to make you happy, not to upset you. Besides, we have four restaurants at home, so how can we not be better than them? At worst, we can lower the price of gathering friends, and even if we don't make money, we will squeeze them out."

However, after hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Guan Xiaoguan immediately expressed his opposition.

She frowned and said firmly, "What I want is a fair competition with her. We must not use those despicable means!"

Then, she sighed and continued worriedly, "But I don't know what method the restaurant across the street uses. Every day, it is packed with customers and every seat is full. If things continue like this, it won't be long before our own restaurant will close down."

After hearing this, Yan Jiekuang finally figured out the whole story.

He thought to himself that it seemed that Su Meng was using the same old tricks again this time, using the method from the original drama to find someone to create a lively atmosphere in the hotel.

After all, most Chinese people like to join in the fun and like to gather in groups. The more popular a store is and the more prosperous its business is, the more people tend to think that its products are better. Even if they have to wait in a long line, they are willing to choose this store to consume.

Seeing Guan Xiaoguan's sad and depressed look, Yan Jiekuang felt very distressed and decided to lend her a helping hand.

He said earnestly: "In fact, there are not many mysteries in the catering industry. The key lies in popularity. The more customers there are, the more lively the scene is. This restaurant will naturally become famous and its business will flourish."

"In my opinion, Jin Changsheng was just being clever and hired a bunch of people to help out, creating the illusion that the place was packed with guests and a bustling crowd."

When Guan Xiaoguan heard this, he suddenly understood something as if he had been enlightened.

"That's right! No wonder their store is always packed with customers, that's why! In this way, won't their reputation grow even bigger?"

"Okay, now you should be happy, right? Tomorrow you can go talk to a few travel agencies and try to establish cooperative relationships with them. We can receive these tourists at cost price. I believe that our business will improve in no time."

Yan Jiekuang secretly thought in his heart that he would never recruit people for free, as it would not only easily lead to disputes, but he would also have to pay money.

After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, as if time had stopped.

He was confused and couldn't help turning his head, only to see Guan Xiaoguan glaring at him with wide eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?" Yan Jiekuang asked cautiously.

Guan Xiaoguan bit his lips tightly, and said indignantly: "If you are so capable, why do you leave the whole restaurant to me alone? You never take care of it. Do you want to tire me to death?"

Faced with this unreasonable questioning, Yan Jiekuang was helpless.

After all, Guan Xiaoguan was pregnant at the moment, so he didn't dare to talk back, and could only flatter and smile: "Alas, I know nothing about running a restaurant! It's all thanks to my frequent contact with you that I have learned some things through osmosis."

"I'm not good at managing a restaurant. I'm far worse than you." Yan Jiekuang continued to lower his posture.

Hearing this, Guan Xiaoguan felt a little relieved and said with a happy face: "Hehe, you are sensible. You have to study harder in the future and try to help me."

Yan Jiekuang was meek and did not dare to utter a word of rebuttal. He looked like a complete lackey and just nodded his head repeatedly.

Seeing Guan Xiaoguan happy, she carefully helped him back home.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and Yan Jiekuang and Guan Xiaoguan walked into the restaurant together.

They took quick action, fully utilized their personal connections, and actively contacted major travel agencies.

Before long, the restaurant was full and bustling with people.

As time went by, Jupengyou's business became more and more prosperous.

The customers who originally belonged to Jin Changsheng across the street were attracted here, causing Jin Changsheng's business to plummet.

This made Su Meng anxious and worried.

Seeing that the money invested by his uncle was about to be lost, his own reputation was also facing an unprecedented challenge.

After careful consideration, Su Meng firmly believed that it must be Han Chunming who tipped off Guan Xiaoguan, because Guan Xiaoguan was Grandpa Guan's granddaughter, and Yan Jiekuang was Han Chunming's best friend.

So Su Meng decided to find Han Chunming and get to the bottom of it.

However, for several days in a row, she looked for Han Chunming everywhere but couldn't find him. She called his pager but no one responded. Even Han's mother didn't know where he had gone.

This made Su Meng even more anxious. After all, time waits for no one. If things continued like this, their restaurant would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Little did they know that at this moment Han Chunming was in the countryside, competing fiercely with the broken monkey for those ancient and precious furniture.

Not many people knew about this matter, only Grandpa Guan and Meng Xiaozao knew about it.

But the old man had also reminded Xiaozao a long time ago that if anyone asked him about anything related to Han Chunming, he should say he didn't know.

So naturally no one could find him.

None of this has anything to do with Yan Jiekuang. All he cares about is whether Guan Xiaoguan is happy or not.

Looking at the innocent smile on her face, Yan Jiekuang instantly felt that everything he had done was worth it.
