Chapter 593: 600 Clash of Titans_1

The sales of Love Home Restaurant on the second day were only 1,500 yuan...

When Lin Xiangwan saw this number, she frantically berated Qin Muchuan, blaming him and his jinxing mouth. She argued that it was all his curse that led to such a disaster.

On the third day, Love Home Restaurant earned only 500 yuan in sales!

Lin Xiangwan started her morning feeling all sorts of anguish and extreme anxiety!

She was so devastated that she just stood there, gloomy and depressed.

"500 yuan, selling eight Spicy Hot Pots, and seven takeout boxed meals!" Shen Hanqian shook her head at this revenue figure, obviously upset.

Lin Xiangwan was incredibly frustrated, unable to pinpoint what she was doing wrong. "I think my Spicy Hot Pot is delicious. True, I didn’t franchise any restaurant, but I learned how to make it from a professional chef! The taste is quite good. I am very picky, and you too, you also said it was delicious, right?"

Shen Hanqian also nodded vigorously. It was true that Xiangwan’s recipe was quite good. "But what you consider tasty might be different from what they consider tasty. Their version might make people crave it more, maybe due to some secret ingredient that stimulates the brain. Ours is healthy, without any additives, so it might be a little less flavorful."

Lin Xiangwan suddenly remembered something and stamped her foot in annoyance. "Damn it, Qin Muchuan had specifically reminded me to promote the health aspect, but I became so busy that I completely forgot about it..."

"Oh..." Shen Hanqian showed an admiration expression. "Qin Muchuan does have the foresight. But it’s also your fault, for not taking his advice seriously. After all, he is a big boss and went out of his way to give you some pointers, why didn’t you make sure to remember them!"

"..." It was pointless to discuss this now.

Reflecting on the night before when she had driven Qin Muchuan out and harshly scolded him, Lin Xiangwan felt even more miserable. "You look down upon me? Since you make a lot of money, you naturally don’t care about this amount. But Qin Muchuan, I must tell you, if you had grown up as an orphan like me with nothing, you might not be as successful as me. You were born into wealth, never needing to start from scratch. I think I’m doing an excellent job and my ideas are great. I don’t need you bossing me around, get out, get out!"

Qin Muchuan, drenched in the red fruit drink she had spilled on him, shook off the liquid as he tried to reason with her. "Wanwan, don’t be ungrateful, you should know I’m trying to help you. How could you give out such a steep discount on your grand opening day? A 30% discount? I’m wondering how large the profit margin is in your store that you can afford to offer such a discount? I can tell you that once you return to original price, no one will buy your food!"

Lin Xiangwan glared at him, eyes bloodshot. "What do you know? Have you ever run a small business? The clientele for small businesses are ordinary people, and ordinary people like to take advantage of discounts. By offering them these incentives, they will come to eat, and once more people know it’s delicious, naturally more will visit. It’s a sales tactic!"

Qin Muchuan retorted rudely. "Tactic my ass! Strategy my ass! How dare you call these your strategies and tactics? Do you think that these petty tricks of yours deserve such lofty terms? You always brag about being a top student in an economics program, and how you are wasted staying at home. Wasted? Now, in my opinion, the only thing you’ve done well is giving birth to our twins. Everything else is just garbage!"

His harsh words provoked Lin Xiangwan to another outburst. "Get out! Get out of here! Who asked you to come here and boss me around? I’m not your Zhou Ziqing. The person you should be taking care of is her, not me!"

Qin Muchuan wouldn’t leave, so a determined Lin Xiangwan chased him away, even picking up a broom to expedite his exit.

And just like that, she drove him away!

At the moment, Lin Xiangwan was standing in her restaurant, the place now closed for the day, so frustrated she wanted to bang her head against the wall.

And she did just that.

She repeatedly bumped her forehead against the door, making a ’thump thump’ sound.

Just then, Qin Muchuan pushed open the door and walked in.

Shen Hanqian gave him a nod, picked up her purse, and pointed outside, as if she was about to leave.

Qin Muchuan replied gratefully. "Thank you for helping out Xiangwan. Without you, she would have been overwhelmed!"

Shen Hanqian smiled. "You don’t have to mention it."

As Qin Muchuan held the door open for her, he said, "I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow night!"

"Hehe..." Qianqian laughed. "Let’s skip the drinks, I don’t have Xiangwan’s tolerance for alcohol. Instead, I would gladly accept a feast!"

Qin Muchuan laughed. "Sure, then it’s a deal. I’ll treat you to a feast!"

"Ok!" Shen Hanqian gave a thumbs up and headed out into the evening.

Under the street light, a car was waiting for her.

Lin Xiangwan looked at Qin Muchuan, not hurling the same level of insults as before, but simply watching him silently.

Qin Muchuan also stared back at her, his deep gaze conveying a silent question. ’See, you didn’t listen to me, and now you regret it, don’t you?’

She held his gaze, finding it more difficult to maintain her composure and feeling increasingly embarrassed. Finally, she broke the silence. "Fine, I admit it, I lost!"

A small curve pulled at the corner of Qin Muchuan’s mouth, forming a faint smile – his crow’s feet signaling a hearty laughter.

In his deep voice, he asked, "You lost? Tell me, how much were your sales for the last two days?"

Lin Xiangwan’s cheeks reddened slightly as she replied in a barely audible voice, "On the second day, 1,500 and today, just over 500!"

A cold chuckle escaped Qin Muchuan. "Just over 500? It’s amusing that you’re even counting the extra."

"..." Xiangwan lowered her gaze, shooting him a glare.

It was only now that Qin Muchuan spoke up. "Many in the catering business think they can attract customers by offering discounts, especially newcomers who usually first think of offering discounts. It seems that, aside from this approach, they think there are no other means of creating buzz for their business!"

Lin Xiangwan defended herself. "I didn’t have any decent methods at my disposal. Are you suggesting that I should advertise everywhere? This is a low-budget operation. Where would the cost for that come from?"

"If you’re short on funds, then use a cost-saving method!"

Lin Xiangwan was still irritated. "Tell me the method!"

Qin Muchuan didn’t reply, remaining silent.

With a sarcastic smile, Lin Xiangwan said, "You don’t have a method either, right? You’re really audacious to criticize me. I thought you were skillful, but it turns out you’re only good at lecturing people!"

Qin Muchuan ignored her sarcasm. "I reminded you that you delivered ’Healthy’ Spicy Hot Pot, did you take that into account?"

"Fine, I agree. I forgot about that. But how do I take better advantage of the word ’healthy’? I have yet to figure it out!"
