Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Counterattacking the Nitpickers
Xia Chuyi’s new semester of academic life started in an orderly manner.
The external faculty no longer had people like Chi Yue and Zhan Yi, those trivial nuisances, who could no longer influence anything significant.
Moreover, in the philosophy department, Song Yingjie had been expelled from the school for failing to report known crimes and for harboring criminals.
Thus, Xia Chuyi’s school life this semester started very smoothly, to say the least.
With no troublesome matters in school and ample time to study, Xia Chuyi and Meng Xingmang finally finalized the plans for the opening of their new store.
For the location of the branch, Xia Chuyi did not accept Meng Xingmang’s suggestion to choose Shuimu University but instead chose a highly populated central area next to a large shopping mall.
Relying on the shopping mall, the area was lined with numerous gourmet shops.
Xia Chuyi chose this spot to quickly establish his reputation.
Of course, because the location was excellent, the rent was also extremely high.
Therefore, for this store, Xia Chuyi gritted his teeth and withdrew all the revenue from “Youwei” from the past six months.
With that, Xia Chuyi was suddenly thrown back to his impoverished days.
Fortunately, as long as the store opened, new sales revenue would be credited daily.
With the mindset of quickly earning money, the new store was soon ready.
The opening day was chosen to be on a weekend.
On the day of the opening, the weather was perfect.
Early in the morning, the doors of “Youwei” were swung open, and the aroma of marinated meat instantly wafted out.
Soon, it attracted some pedestrians.
After learning about the prices at his store, people were eager to try.
Thus, the first plate of marinated meat rice was sold, and naturally, the customer was full of praise.
Following that, some nearby vendors couldn’t resist trying it.
“Daddy, I also want to try their marinated meat rice!” Suddenly, Xia Chuyi heard a crisp voice.
“What’s to eat? Good meat, but just based on the color, who knows if it’s good or bad?” said a middle-aged man in chef’s attire, glancing at Xia Chuyi’s marinated meat with some disdain.
Was this person implying that his store used bad meat?
Xia Chuyi in the store, hearing this, immediately frowned.
Looking up, the speaker was the owner of a nearby bun shop,
The one who wanted to try the marinated meat rice was that owner’s child.
The bun shop owner looked contemptuously at Xia Chuyi’s store.
Xia Chuyi had seen this bun shop owner before; during the preparation period of his store, he had come by.
Since he realized that what she was selling was different from his, he didn’t say much, only warning her, “Let’s do business without interfering with each other.”
At that time, Xia Chuyi didn’t say much, maintaining an amicable relationship as peace fosters prosperity.
But now, this man, seeing that Youwei’s business was decent, probably came over to deliberately cause trouble.
If others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them, but if others offend me, I won’t be a shrinking turtle!
Xia Chuyi remained very calm, secretly curling his lips before raising his voice, “This uncle, do we even have bad meat in the market here in Capital City?”
With an astonished expression.
“I’ve never heard or seen such a thing! I’m indeed too ignorant.” Xia Chuyi acted as though he had little worldly experience.
“The food market in Capital City is too chaotic, to think that someone would use bad meat to cook and sell to customers!”
Xia Chuyi spoke with great indignation.
