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."

Xiao Qingcang nodded in agreement. "Indeed, their presence makes the restaurant seem popular. That’s the way it is in the food industry; the more diners you have, the more will follow. Perhaps you should think about converting this group into your primary clientele. Isn’t it also an opportunity?"

Shen Hanqian gestured dismissively. "That trick won’t work. They’re just here to take advantage, how could they possibly become our leading spenders?"

Xiao Qingcang said confidently, "Not necessarily. It depends on whether you are genuinely committed. If you are, you definitely can!"

Qin Muchuan concurred with his friend. He suggested Lin Xiangwan, "How about you continue promoting your healthy Spicy Hot Pot concept. Then, tell these elders that overeating Spicy Hot Pot isn’t good for them, as it could lead to various age-related diseases. I believe that should keep them from causing trouble!"

Lin Xiangwan’s eyes sparkled again. "That’s a great idea!"

He pondered and then continued, "Also, you can recommend other dishes to them. For instance, your quick meals; explain to them that if they eat here, they won’t need to cook at home themselves. If they like it, they eat. If they don’t, they can leave and then not waste our time."

"Right, that’s a good strategy!" Lin Xiangwan felt enlightened again.

The atmosphere throughout the dinner was pleasant, with Qin Muchuan and Xiao Qingcang exchanging opinions on a few projects.

Watching Qin Muchuan’s effortless flourish while discussing business, Lin Xiangwan found herself becoming increasingly entranced.

Even simple gestures like sorting his hair from such a man were irresistible.

Especially when he often referred to "my Wanwan" in front of others, Lin Xiangwan’s heart would flutter.

He still considered her his and the feeling of unity was very touching.

Lin Xiangwan wasn’t sure if she should divorce him anymore.

Or should she give him another chance for their child’s sake?

As everyone was about to leave, Qin Muchuan’s phone rang.

He glanced at the incoming call, appearing uncomfortable, and quickly hung up.

Just as he was about to switch off his phone, it rang again.

This sort of situation had happened too many times, and Lin Xiangwan had a good guess as to who was calling.

She forced a smile and said sarcastically, "Since it’s important, why don’t you answer the call?"

Qin Muchuan also offered a bitter smile. "I’ll pay the bill, you guys rest here."

Not long after he left, the smile on Lin Xiangwan’s face disappeared, replaced by despair.

The sudden chilly atmosphere sobered Shen Hanqian up a bit. "What’s up with Qin Muchuan? Doesn’t he want to win Wanwan back? Why is he still in touch with that woman?"

Xiao Qingcang frowned discreetly and gave her a look asking her to stay quiet.

Only then did Shen Hanqian realize that she had said something she shouldn’t have.

Lin Xiangwan laughed it off nonchalantly and said, pretending to be unmoved, "You guys don’t have to worry about me. I have already accepted the reality. We are getting a divorce, and it is completely natural for him to start a new love life. As to me dining with him today, I merely see him as a normal friend, with no other considerations - today or ever!"

As she finished her sentence, Qin Muchuan walked in with a stern face.

He pretended not to have heard and said goodbye to Xiao Qingcang.

Leaving the restaurant, a cold wind blew outside.

Lin Xiangwan shivered, and Qin Muchuan pulled her closer. "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."

She adjusted the strands of hair the wind had disheveled and replied politely, "No need, isn’t your girlfriend looking for you?"

"She is not my girlfriend!" he stated firmly.

"Oh." Lin Xiangwan didn’t want to prolong the conversation.

Qin Muchuan continued, "Moreover, I don’t intend to make her my mistress."

"Oh."

Damnit, then what’s the purpose of your relationship with her?

Are you purposely trying to annoy me? I know you two want to play husband and wife.

All of Qin Muchuan’s rebuttals ceased, leaving her simmering in anger.

Fine, if you two want to play husband and wife, go ahead. She didn’t feel hurt at all, not the least bit jealous.

"Please take me home soon, I’m really tired!" Lin Xiangwan got into his car and urged him.

Seeing her walking in such high heels, he couldn’t help but feel distressed. "When you go out, you should drive your car. It would make things much easier!"

"Oh, your grandma watches me too closely. You probably don’t know, she even inspected me from top to bottom!"

"Hey, don’t take her too seriously. She’s old and childlike. She wasn’t like this when she was younger!"
