Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Selling Wheelchairs to Buy Vinegar (4)_1 Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Selling Wheelchairs to Buy Vinegar (4)_1 Lianlian, who had been serving at the side, suddenly leaned into Qinger’s ear and seemed embarrassed as she whispered something.

Qinger gave her a stern look and nodded, “Then be quick, and take a shortcut to the vinegar workshop later.”

Lianlian nodded repeatedly and ran back to Lin Yuan’s side.

“Sister Lianlian, is there something else?” Lin Yuan didn’t expect Lianlian to return and thought that perhaps Jin Yuyu had something to relay, but Lianlian pulled her aside to a secluded spot instead.

Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, Lianlian smiled and asked, “Um, Yuanyuan, sister has something she wants to ask you.”

Lin Yuan blinked, waiting for her to speak.

Lianlian bit her lip, then stamped her foot and said, “I’m straightforward and I don’t beat around the bush, so I’ll just ask you directly.

Do you know Shopkeeper Liu from Fuman Building well, or are you acquainted with the Boss?

Ah, don’t get me wrong, I haven’t been following you or anything.

It’s just that my Miss said your coachmen looked very much like the little servants at Fuman Building, so I guessed.”

Lin Yuan didn’t say whether she knew them or not but asked instead, “Did Miss Jin send Sister Lianlian to ask me?”

“No, no, my Miss would never send us servants to inquire about these matters.

It was my own idea to come.”

Anxious not to have her Miss misunderstood, Lianlian hastily waved her hands and then, with a resolved heart, spilled it all out, “You don’t know, the second branch of our family, that is, the second Miss who harassed you last time, her parents are coveting the position of Family Head from my Master.

Recently, they’ve been snatching a lot of our main branch’s clients and old patrons both openly and secretly.

Our Master spends all day playing with his inkstone collections and doesn’t care about the shop’s business.

For so many years, it has always been my Madam and Miss who have been struggling to keep things going.”

Looking back at the carriage that had gone far away, Lianlian sighed, “You have no idea, Miss bought this wheelchair to honor the old Madam.

In the past, when did she ever need to do such things?

But times are different now; the marriage proposal that the old Madam arranged for Miss is really outrageous.

And since the second Miss is especially good at ingratiating herself, the main branch Miss had no choice but to lower her stature like this.”

Hearing Lianlian talk about these matters gave Lin Yuan a deeper understanding of the Jin family’s situation.

No wonder Jin Lingling always seemed like she couldn’t wait to gobble up Jin Yuyu but still had to feign liking her, and no wonder Jin Yuyu had always looked down on Jin Lingling.

But what did all this have to do with whether she knew the Boss of Fuman Building?

When Lin Yuan asked this, Lianlian thought she indeed knew him and quickly explained, “You see, since the second branch has stolen quite a lot of the main branch’s business and old patrons, but Fuman Building remains the main branch’s biggest customer, as long as Fuman Building doesn’t get taken away by the second branch, there’s still hope for our main branch.

So, so…”

Therefore, she hoped to use Lin Yuan’s connection to reach out to the Boss of Fuman Building, or perhaps have Lin Yuan say a few good words to Shopkeeper Liu to ensure that Fuman Building wouldn’t give up on doing business with the main branch.

Lin Yuan understood, but although her relationship with Lao Fan and Xia Zheng was indeed special, this did not mean she could casually interfere in the business dealings of Fuman Building.

However, recalling her first visit to Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop to buy vinegar, Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the service attitude and product quality of Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop.

If the second branch’s workshop was as good as the main branch’s, she would certainly choose the one that was a bit cheaper.

If their quality was poor and the service poor, yet they only reduced the price, then she would definitely choose to cooperate with the main branch.

After all, quality comes first.

If she were to tarnish her own restaurant’s reputation for the sake of saving money, it would be a loss not worth the gain.
