Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 144
Chapter 144 Bear the Burden of Humiliation
Seeing that Su Wanwan was worried, the shopkeeper said, “If we don’t go to Juese Restaurant, I’m afraid that the merchants in the town will join forces to form a Chamber of Commerce. In the future, we won’t think of any benefits.”
“Chamber of Commerce?” They had also fought very hard to destroy her. Su Wanwan said, “I’d like to see how they can make things difficult for me at this banquet!”
The time of the banquet was actually this afternoon. Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng left for the inn after lunch. No one knew that neither of them could enter with the invitation.
The door attendant looked at the two people and said, “Only one person from Juese Restaurant can enter.”
“Why can others bring servants in, but I can’t even bring my fiance?” Su Wanwan glared at the waiter.
‘”There are quotas here. Whoever has the most power can naturally bring more people in. Although your Juese Restaurant has been a shop for three years, business has only improved recently. It’s good to let you attend the banquet! You still want to bring one more person! Don’t be shameless!” The waiter sneered.
Her temper was unbearable! Su Wanwan thought about how to punish him. Suddenly, a merchant walked over. Seeing Su Wanwan, she sneered, “You’re a woman. Your hair is long and your knowledge is short. How long can you run a beautiful restaurant? This is Shopkeeper Wang’s territory. You should lower your head or lower your head. Don’t be too ignorant.”
“Oh roar?” Su Wanwan sneered and suppressed her desire to slap him twice. “If I’m not mistaken, this shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of the Jiang family’s rice shop in town, right?” She said.
“Exactly!” Shopkeeper Jiang raised his chin and looked at the person with his nostrils, a look of contempt on his face.
‘”If my guess is correct, last year was calamity-free and harmless. The rice grain fell, right? Your Jiang Clan’s rice shop doesn’t earn much money, and even the rice it has hoarded is about to break. And this year … the weather is fine. I think your Jiang Clan’s rice shop will change professions!” Su Wanwan said slowly and unhurriedly. She looked at Shopkeeper Jiang and the cold smile on her face became warm.
The intense irony was obvious and abrupt. The smile on Manager Jiang’s face stiffened. “Su Wanwan, you Juese Restaurant used our Jiang Family’s rice! Do you believe that I cut off your Jiang Family’s food?”
‘”Heh! I heard from Shopkeeper Liu that the quality of your Jiang family’s rice can be considered acceptable, so I signed a contract. Who knew that your family’s rice is getting uglier and uglier now? We are already thinking of exchanging it for another family’s rice. Don’t worry about cutting off the food in our restaurant!” Su Wanwan would not admit defeat.
Shopkeeper Jiang panicked for a moment, and then calmed down. He thought about how much food the Supreme Beauty Restaurant consumed every month. It was almost the amount of food they had retailed in the town. He felt a little regretful, but then he thought about it. There was no rice shop in the town that was bigger than theirs. The Supreme Beauty Restaurant should rely on them, not on the Supreme Beauty Restaurant.
Thinking of this, he straightened his back and said, “Let me tell you, your mouth should be cleaned!”
After saying that, he lifted his foot and stepped inside.
Looking at this fat figure, Su Wanwan was as annoyed as if she had seen a fly. After thinking for a moment, she discussed with Qi Chengfeng and went in alone.
The door attendant was extremely proud again. After Su Wan Wan entered, she sneered, “Su Wan Wan? That’s all! Isn’t she going to admit defeat in the end?”
Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan’s intention to enter was just to better slap them in the face!
Su Wanwan entered a large private room. A lot of pastries and tea were prepared in the private room. Su Wanwan randomly found a place to sit. Occasionally, those people would arrive, and even Shopkeeper Wang of the inn would come.
However, what was strange was that Shopkeeper Du Du Wang didn’t have a seat to sit on. Everyone looked at her as if she was sitting where Manager Wang should be sitting.
Su Wanwan’s lower body remained motionless as she picked up her teacup and leisurely drank her tea.
Everyone looked at each other and Shopkeeper Jiang, who had just made things difficult for Su Wanwan, said, “Miss Su, you should get up and give your seat to Shopkeeper Wang.”
He could have let the waiter add a stool, but why did he insist on letting her? Wasn’t he deliberately making things difficult for her?
Su Wanwan dug her ears and said, “Are you sure you want me to give way? Then please tell me where I am.”
“You don’t have a place at all! We thought you wouldn’t come, so we weren’t prepared! Who would have thought that you would actually come with such thick skin!” Another shopkeeper said this and burst into laughter.
He actually humiliated her like this! Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and said, “The person who arranged this banquet is truly’considerate ‘.”
After saying that, she moved her seat and sat down on the table, crossed her legs and drank tea. It did not affect her interest in the slightest.
Everyone couldn’t laugh anymore.
Shopkeeper Wang was sitting in that seat. Su Wanwan looked down at him, making it seem that he was offering Su Wanwan a hand. However, it was not good for her to shame herself and change the location, so she had a dark face the entire time.
The banquet began. Everyone chatted for a while before Manager Wang stood up and announced, “Everyone, we are going to set up a chamber of commerce in the town. Those who join will receive the transfer of the chamber of commerce and all kinds of benefits. However …”
At this point, Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Su Wanwan. “Our Chamber of Commerce charges some protection fees based on your profits. For example, if the Supreme Restaurant joins, it will have to pay 100 taels of silver a month for the Chamber of Commerce to help it turn around and operate.”
One or two hundred silver coins? What a dream! Juese Restaurant’s monthly profit was only three hundred taels of silver! The population of this town was not large, and the amount of money they earned was relatively small. How could they give them a hundred taels of silver?
This was truly ridiculous!
Su Wanwan suddenly smiled. “We don’t need your help running Juese Restaurant. Don’t think about the profits of our restaurant anymore.”
“Humph!” Shopkeeper Jiang immediately stood up, pointed at Su Wanwan and spat, “Su Wanwan! It’s not up to you! Let me tell you, if you don’t join us, the first thing our Jiang family will cut off is the rice supply to your restaurant!”
One of the shopkeepers also stood up, “Our meat shop has also cut off the meat supply to the Supreme Beauty Restaurant!”
“So is our tavern!”
“…”
Are these people going to cut off the supply of the Supreme Color Restaurant? Without meat and food, the restaurant really couldn’t be opened.
What could she do?
Su Wanwan raised her cheeks and was not afraid, “I’m not afraid of you! If it breaks, then let’s break it. At most, it’ll take some more time to find the supply chain.”
Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Su Wanwan was actually unwilling to join the Chamber of Commerce! That’s too much! Do you still want to be the only one! Shopkeeper Wang was very angry, but he took out a restaurant to pay respect to Su Wanwan and said, “If you don’t join, then you won’t join. You can’t buy and sell with benevolence and righteousness!”
Were they really so kind as to let her go? Su Wanwan was very suspicious. Just as she was about to drink the wine, she suddenly noticed a few bubbles appearing in the wine. There was also white powder under the white wine glass!
The wine was poisonous!
Just as Su Wanwan was about to pour it out, Shopkeeper Jiang suddenly stood up and pushed the wine cup into Su Wanwan’s mouth!
