Chapter 460: Qiwei Vegetarian is in trouble!

Old Zhang didn’t expect that buying himself breakfast this early in the morning would still be about taking care of his own business.

But Gu Chen could also sense Old Zhang’s thoughtfulness.

The breakfast from Qiwei Vegetarian was not cheap; Old Zhang was really generous.

As Gu Chen ate his breakfast, he glanced over the accounts for the night.

From last night at six o’clock to this morning at nine, it had been fifteen hours in total.

In those fifteen hours, each machine had not stopped for a moment, with nineteen machines operating continuously.

They had generated a total income of seventeen thousand one hundred yuan.

Subtracting Old Zhang’s nine hundred yuan, he still made sixteen thousand two hundred.

At this rate, making a million was just a matter of time.

In a twenty-four-hour day, he could earn twenty-five thousand nine hundred and twenty yuan.

Probably not even banks were making money as impressively as he was right now.

After finishing his breakfast and accounting, Gu Chen arrived at the door and realized it wasn’t right for Old Zhang to keep sitting here.

"How about we arrange a chair inside the shop for you to sit on?" Gu Chen suggested to Old Zhang.

Sitting at the door every day didn’t affect the internet cafe’s business, but he was worried that Old Zhang’s frail arms and legs might give way to sickness.

"I’m fine, I’m just keeping watch. The world is so chaotic now, just in case someone comes looking for trouble," Old Zhang said to Gu Chen.

"That shouldn’t happen," Gu Chen said.

He felt that society was relatively normal right now.

But Old Zhang quickly added, "You can’t be too careful. This morning when I went to buy breakfast, someone went to that breakfast place to smash the joint up, creating a huge mess. Many diners were scared off. Who knows what happened."

Upon hearing Old Zhang’s words, Gu Chen’s face suddenly changed.

Qiwei Vegetarian had an incident? He was totally unaware.

He quickly drove towards Qiwei Vegetarian.

Seeing Gu Chen’s hasty departure, Old Zhang didn’t know why he was so flustered. Had he said something wrong?

Gu Chen drove quickly to Qiwei Vegetarian.

When he arrived at Qiwei Vegetarian’s entrance, Gu Chen noticed quite a crowd gathered there.

He parked the car aside and then walked over.

"My daughter got sick from eating your Qiwei Vegetarian’s food, and she’s still lying in the hospital. You Qiwei Vegetarian are a shady business.

The meat you use is rat meat, the oil is made from horse urine, and you even put glue in your cold dishes!"

A rather elderly lady was standing at the entrance, shouting at Xiao Ping with a shrill voice.

Her tone was incredibly harsh, and her voice so loud, it was as if she had the whole street to herself.

"Ma’am, that’s simply impossible. All the ingredients at our Qiwei Vegetarian are clean and fresh, and we have a lot of customers every day.

Not a single one has ever had a problem with our food," Xiao Ping explained in a soft and delicate voice to the old lady.

"Could your child have eaten something else unclean? I suggest you investigate further before making conclusions. You shouldn’t wrongly accuse Qiwei Vegetarian."

Xiao Ping even offered the elderly woman a bit of advice, suggesting she take some time to think it over.

But once she finished speaking, the old woman became instantly displeased.

"What do you mean by that, huh? Do you know how old I am? I’m sixty-five this year! At my age, do I need to stand outside your restaurant causing a scene? You may not find it embarrassing, but it’s a disgrace to me.

However, I absolutely cannot allow unscrupulous businesses like yours to continue operating here. Today it was my child; tomorrow who knows whose child it will be."

After the old woman finished speaking, many of the diners nearby began to believe her somewhat.

Indeed, as the old woman said herself, one could tell from her appearance that she wasn’t young.

At the advanced age of sixty-five, it’s improbable for her to be making a scene outside a store.

Feeling rather helpless, Gu Chen looked at the old woman and knew he was dealing with someone looking for trouble.

The heart of the people is not what it used to be; there aren’t yet sensational news stories of someone helping an old lady across the street only to be sued for tens of thousands, so the tactics of swindlers aren’t common in the streets and alleys.

Thus, the vast majority of people are still kind-hearted and are the sort to lend a hand on the roadside.

Gu Chen thought the old woman was trying to swindle him because he had just eaten the food from Qiwei Vegetarian himself, but also because what is the source of Qiwei Vegetarian’s ingredients?

They all come from Spiritual Spring; how could there possibly be a problem?

To put it in extreme terms, even if poison were added into the food, the existence of Spiritual Spring would prevent any issues from occurring.

Gu Chen had this confidence – he knew everything about Qiwei Vegetarian, so he was sure the old woman was deliberately causing trouble.

"Ma’am, if you really don’t trust us, we can have the ingredients in our restaurant subjected to scientific testing," Xiao Ping suggested kindly to the old woman at this time.

She thought the old woman had simply made a misunderstanding, completely unaware that it was very possible that the old woman was intentionally stirring up trouble.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m senile?

My child didn’t eat anything but your Qiwei Vegetarian food before going to school in the morning.

Then, during school, something went wrong – foaming at the mouth, rolling eyes, and had to be rushed to the hospital right away.

Only now has his breathing finally stabilized. I’m here to demand an explanation.

Even if I don’t get one, I need to warn everyone not to patronize your establishment."

The old woman pointed at Xiao Ping’s nose and spoke with righteous indignation.

At this point, the surrounding diners were becoming swayed by what the old woman was saying.

In that moment, Xiao Ping didn’t know what to do anymore.

After all, it was the first time in her life she’d encountered such a difficult situation.

Gu Chen slowly stepped out from the crowd.

When Xiao Ping saw Gu Chen, it was as if she had seen a lifeline.

"Boss," she hurried over to greet him.

Gu Chen turned around to face the old woman and then spoke up, "Ma’am, if I’m understanding you correctly, are you saying your child ate food from Qiwei Vegetarian and then was hospitalized?"

"That’s right! You’re the owner of this malicious establishment, aren’t you! Oh, look at you, still daring to show your face!" the old woman immediately walked toward Gu Chen, as if she was ready to tear him apart.

Gu Chen stood firm, his gaze steadfast, unshaken by the old woman’s aggressive demeanor.

He asked the old woman forcefully, "So I have a question for you – if you claim that it was our Qiwei Vegetarian that caused the hospitalization, may I ask what your proof is?"
