Chapter 910: Chapter 910: The Secret of Counterattack

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Jianing asked herself, "Should I give this man another chance? Should I continue?"

Remembering all the bits and pieces of their time together over the years, Yuan Jianing couldn’t help but have tears streaming down her face, telling herself to cry this one last time and let everything from the past be gone with the wind.

A few days after Lu Yichen brought his wife and child back to Luo Family, a case arose at the station that required him to lead a team in pursuit, and unexpectedly, this took him away for over a month.

Luo Qiao had a large pushcart made, and when she had free time, she would join her grandmother in pushing the children to the newly built square in front, where the two children were exceptionally well-behaved. The twins from her third brother’s family would often stay by the cart, calling out to their sister.

Watching the two treasures with their small eyes spinning around, she planned to start them on complementary foods by the end of next month. After all, they couldn’t always stay at home once school started, and by the end of August, they would be five months old, and her own breast milk was indeed not enough for both children.

That day, Luo Qiao settled the children down and went to Jinyuan Garden with a pre-written menu of eight dishes. The past two years had seen a number of restaurants springing up in Capital City, bringing competition, so it was time to introduce new dishes.

When Luo Qiao arrived, the lobby was bustling in an orderly manner, and she directly went to the upstairs office.

She knocked lightly on the door and heard from inside, "Please come in."

Luo Qiao then pushed the door open and saw Han Yuchen and Xiao Jingyu both there, discussing matters with tea sets on the table.

Xiao Jingyu stood up, "What wind has blown our busy person over here today?"

Han Yuchen helped her pull out a chair next to him, and Luo Qiao sat down, placing the items in her hand on the table, "I heard that our reservations have declined in the past few months, including some cancellations."

Xiao Jingyu dropped his jovial demeanor, "Yes, in the past half-year, quite a few restaurants of similar scale to ours have opened in the city, each with its own characteristics. Our dishes taste really good, but over time, I’m afraid those customers might be thinking about changing their flavors."

Luo Qiao nodded, "You’re right, but even if they want to change flavors, I want them to stick with our place."

Han Yuchen and Xiao Jingyu both looked over, and Luo Qiao pointed to the menu on the table, "This is the secret weapon I’ve prepared for you two."

Xiao Jingyu picked up the paper, handed a few sheets to Han Yuchen to see, and upon seeing the content, they both laughed, with Xiao Jingyu giving a thumbs-up, "Luo Qiao, you really are our lucky star."

Han Yuchen said, "This solves everything. Although the kitchen has also developed a few new dishes, they were somewhat lacking, and we two were just discussing measures to deal with it."

Xiao Jingyu said, "It’s really those bigger restaurants in the city; their prices are much cheaper than ours. Add the fact that their dishes are different from ours, it’s understandable that we’re seeing some customers leave."

Luo Qiao said, "It’s also my fault for being too busy lately and neglecting this matter. However, we cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the kitchen staff in developing new dishes. In the future, we can give them substantial rewards."

Xiao Jingyu chuckled, "It seems we three still have some tacit understanding."

All three of them laughed at once.

Luo Qiao lifted the glass of plain water on the table, "Has the hot pot restaurant been affected?"

Han Yuchen said, "Not too much impact there. I took your advice earlier, spent a good deal of money to install air conditioning and exhaust fans, and business has actually gotten better."

Xiao Jingyu added, "In the end, it’s all about the quality of our dishes that brings customers in; our flavor really exceeds other places by many times over."

Luo Qiao tapped her finger lightly on the armrest, "For all branches of Jinyuan and the hot pot restaurants, I suggest that starting next month, we increase the prices of all dishes by two percentage points on the current basis, and also have a 30% discount trial tasting event for the new dishes."

Han Yuchen said, "I think it’s feasible. We haven’t raised our prices since the restaurant opened. We can also write an announcement about these two things and post it."

After discussing the details for a while, Luo Qiao prepared to leave.

Luo Qiao didn’t have the two men escort her, descending the stairs on her own. Just as she reached the lobby on the first floor, she happened to bump into her former classmate Di Manning. Luo Qiao didn’t have much fondness for this person, who was simple-mindedly cunning.
