Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"You also know that I founded Champagne House. It's my hard work..."

"You're talking like I came out of nowhere. I built everything brick by brick with great care. It's just a small setback. Is it that serious?"

Xiao Weiguo really couldn't stand Lou Xiao'e's pampered look. The Champagne House had been struggling for a long time, especially after the game. There was almost no table of customers all day. Even the richest sponsor could not afford such a situation!

"It's easy to say, but this is my hard work after all! I can't bear to see it go to waste!"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e looking distressed, Xiao Weiguo raised his eyebrows. There was nothing he could do. The business world is like a battlefield. If you lose, you lose.

"Actually, Sha Zhu did this for the reputation of the restaurant and to get the best results...ah..."

"I don't blame him!"

Lou Xiao'e frowned more and more as she spoke, and Xiao Weiguo was also confused.

"What do you mean? I don't understand! Stupid Zhu...did he do anything to offend you? And it involves the restaurant? What on earth did he do!"

This was absolutely unexpected. Originally, he simply thought that Fan Jinyou had secretly done something, which led to Sha Zhu's defeat.

Now it seems that this is not the case!

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea and sighed repeatedly, showing her helplessness.

"He... took advantage of the situation and did something he shouldn't have done. It's all his own fault!"

"But I also wonder, how did Chef Wang manage to be on guard against Sha Zhu and still win the competition?"

Chef Wang?

Beware of silly pillars?

These words left Xiao Weiguo confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Hi... this is quite interesting! That idiot Zhu is doing stupid things again!"

Lou Xiao'e was not sure whether Xiao Weiguo knew about it or not, but it didn't matter whether he knew it or not.

"Not only did he screw himself over, he also indirectly made me miserable. You know his ability. Even if he doesn't win the championship, it would be easy for him to make it into the top three!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it! Why are you so confident in Sha Zhu? Do you think the other participating chefs are just for free? What the capital lacks the least is good chefs!"

"As for Shazhu, at most he has some special skills and is good at craftsmanship, so it's normal for him to be beaten by others!"

In fact, this is what he really thinks. Xiao Weiguo has always believed that there are always people better than you.

Even Chef Wang is included. He doesn't win a medal just to be an all-rounder. There are many people with real skills, but he was just lucky this time.

But Lou Xiao'e doesn't think so.

"I understand what you mean, but you definitely haven't studied Sha Zhu's collection of books carefully. If the true book in his hand is used properly, it will definitely be a dark horse!"

Speaking of book collection, Xiao Weiguo hesitated. He had indeed read the book and confirmed that it was a good book.

However, this matter requires specific people and professionals to use the right methods to maximize the effectiveness of the formula.

Lou Xiao'e is so interested in collecting books, it seems that she still misses the restaurant!

"You also know that the restaurant business has been bad recently. If this continues, everyone in the Champagne Restaurant will have to starve to death!"

"so what!"

The two were chatting extremely happily, each of them had their own thoughts in mind, but no one was willing to speak them out first.

After all, those who speak out first are in a passive position and will be manipulated at the negotiating table.

Lou Xiao'e had already expected that Xiao Weiguo might never know how to write the words "gentle and compassionate to women" in his life.

In his dictionary, there is only exchange of interests, nothing else.

"You should know why I came to see you, I..."

"Moth, we have known each other for so many years. If you have something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush. Just say it directly. Aren't you tired?"

Xiao Weiguo really couldn't stand it anymore. Lou Xiao'e always negotiated with him in a condescending manner, which he really didn't like.

Isn't it just that the restaurant can't continue to operate? Isn't it just that I hope he can take over and keep the restaurant alive, and keep the people under him alive? Isn't it just asking for help? There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Failures in entrepreneurship are common, but she is Lou Zhenhua's daughter, so she should care the least about these!

But from his point of view, only interests can move him.

Lou Xiao'e seemed to be hesitant to speak and was unable to face her own failure.

"Mozi, the difficulties the restaurant is facing are only temporary. I will introduce you to a group of customers later. Tell Shazhu to calm down and stop thinking about things all day long. Thinking about things over and over again will only hurt yourself in the end!"

Xiao Weiguo's words clearly had a hidden meaning, and Lou Xiao'e also understood that if Sha Zhu had not peeped at Chef Wang's cooking this time and had performed normally, he should have no problem entering the finals.

Because of this incident, she fired those two apprentices in anger.

"It's too late to say anything now!"

"Let me be frank. I founded Champagne House, and you have witnessed its growth. I am planning to sell it, but... I can't bear to do so! So, are you interested in buying it?"

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Xiao Weiguo realized that this woman was really cruel once she made up her mind!

But is there anyone who can save her now except him?

It is difficult for me to be the savior.

"Well, I..."

"Don't be so hypocritical. I guess you've been waiting for me to come find you! Your business is so hot now. Every day there are customers who can't get a table and can't eat here. Wouldn't it be just what you want to take over the opposite side?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lou Xiao'e's words, and it was obvious that she was reluctant to leave.

In Xiao Weiguo's opinion, if you say so, then I can't make things difficult for you!

"Don't worry, you founded it yourself. I can't bear to part with it! I'll give you a suggestion. Change the signboard. Maybe it can attract some customers."

Change brand?

"Change it to your Zui Xiang Lou brand?"

Lou Xiao'e's statement could not be more blunt.

Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly, "It's a bit inappropriate for a big boss like you to work for me, so let's just talk about it and forget about it!"

"Just listen to me, I said it as a joke!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo crossed his legs and touched his stubble, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards the opposite side.

In fact, he had been eyeing the Champagne House for a long time. It was only a matter of time before Lou Xiao'e closed down, especially after Sha Zhu's defeat, the restaurant became even less popular.

The daily expenses are not enough for her to put in so much effort. If there is no reward, why bother to struggle so hard?

"I opened the restaurant opposite you in the first place just to test your ability, but I didn't expect you to outwit me! Mr. Xiao, you win! Name a price. I will keep all the staff of the restaurant in advance, except Wang Xiaotong!"

"Just that idiot Shazhu, do you think I need him?"

After hearing what Xiao Weiguo said, Lou Xiao'e gave a bitter smile and said, "Shazhu, Shazhu, you have caused me so much trouble!"
