The next morning.
Nianyang sorted out the vegetables she had prepared in the space, ready to find sales channels.
Li Tingyan originally planned to make a trip to the security checkpoint, but when he heard Nianyang was going out for business, he opted to accompany her without a second thought—nothing matters more than his wife.
Seeing that his little wife, who was empty-handed yesterday, had produced such a large backpack of vegetables today, our Li Yama commented:
I must be blind, I see nothing!
Li Tingyan didn’t ask, and Nianyang was too lazy to explain. Following the directions from the navigation system, Nianyang guided Li Tingyan to the bustling Maple Leaf Street in the provincial capital.
She targeted a few large restaurants nearby and, after consideration, finally chose the most prosperous restaurant on this street, the Hongyun Restaurant.
The reason being, this restaurant is the largest in scale here, located in a prime location, and it does a thriving business with a high footfall, making it an ideal platform for promoting their vegetable base products!
However, when Nianyang and Li Tingyan walked into this restaurant, they were met with disdain from the receptionist at the door, "What are you here for? We’re not hiring, go try somewhere else."
Nianyang and Li Tingyan both belong to the type who keep a low profile, so their usual attire was very ordinary, a stark contrast to the extravagantly dressed patrons coming and going in the restaurant.
Nianyang didn’t need to guess to know that this receptionist was looking down on them!
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart, barely curling her lips into a polite smile and said, "Hello, I would like to see the manager of your restaurant!"
The receptionist was a greasy-looking middle-aged man. Upon hearing that Nianyang asked to see the manager, he snorted, "Where did this little girl come from thinking she can meet our manager? Don’t you have any awareness? Get lost, or I’ll get security to throw you out!"
In his view, Nianyang and Li Tingyan were just poor people from a poverty-stricken area, and he couldn’t be bothered to be polite to them!
After all, he’s the receptionist at the largest restaurant in the provincial capital, akin to an operations manager!
He deals with wealthy figures daily, quite impressive indeed, though being one step beneath his superior who barks orders at him makes him feel stifled.
Now, finally, here come two clueless poor folks, so he certainly seized the opportunity to show off!
Li Tingyan heard this old man dare to look down on his little wife, and a blaze of anger instantly gathered in his black pupils!
Instinctually, he was about to stand up for his little wife, but Nianyang stopped him with a glance, "I’ll handle this myself, don’t interfere and mess up my business!"
In this era, all aspects are quite strict, and she doesn’t want her man to get caught up in such trivial matters!
Li Tingyan, warned by Nianyang, somewhat dejectedly lowered his head, wondering if his little wife was displeased with him?
"Sir, since you work in the service industry, you should know the principle that the customer is king. Is this how you treat guests?"
Nianyang coldly stared at the receptionist, her voice full of authority as she questioned him.
The receptionist was momentarily intimidated by the menacing aura exuded by the young girl but quickly retorted rudely, "Huh, customers? You little girl who hasn’t even grown all your hair, you probably can’t even afford the food here, what kind of customer are you? Bah!"
