Chapter 780: Chapter 780 Schadenfreude Chapter 780: Chapter 780 Schadenfreude Yesterday, Su Yunjin worried that the business in the shop might not do well today, and it indeed came to pass as she had guessed. Since the opening this morning, there have been hardly a few people coming to the shop.
Upon counting, Su Yunjin found that this morning they earned no more than fifty taels of silver. They sold six small jars and two large ones, earning a total of thirty-eight taels, nearly forty.
Although Su Yunjin had braced herself for poor business today, compared to yesterday’s overcrowded scene, she couldn’t help feeling a bit down.
Yesterday, they were so busy that they couldn’t even sit down for a meal, while today was so slow that hardly any customers came. The gap was really quite large. Even the few neighboring restaurants that envied Su Yunjin’s business yesterday were now laughing at their shop’s misfortune. Did they think they could charge such high prices and still have good business?
The neighboring shops, having no business of their own, couldn’t stand to see others succeed. Yesterday’s bustling business at Su Yunjin’s restaurant had evoked much jealousy and resentment from them.
Seeing hardly anyone visiting Su Yunjin’s shop today, the neighboring shops reveled in schadenfreude, also secretly thrilled inside.
Of course, Su Yunjin was unaware of this. With business being slow, Su Yunjin lacked the energy. Gu Ya said he would help her negotiate business with a few of the town’s larger restaurants.
He had already left the shop for quite some time.
Now, only Su Yunjin was left tending the shop. Anyway, with no customers coming, one person was enough to manage. Yesterday, Wu Xinxin had found her fighting spirit at Zheng Yuan’s place.
Today, Wu Xinxin stayed at the Hongyun Building across the street, watching Su Yunjin’s shop all morning, noticing that not even two people had visited.
She couldn’t help but snicker.
With Su Yunjin’s business not doing well, Wu Xinxin was delighted. Did that small and shabby little pub of Su Yunjin’s really think it could make money? What a joke!
Now that Wu Xinxin had regained her confidence, seeing hardly anyone at Su Yunjin’s shop, she felt even more elated. Wu Xinxin squinted at the scarcely visited little shop.
It seemed as if Wu Xinxin could already see the scene of Su Yunjin’s shop being unable to continue and having to close down. Eager Wu Xinxin wanted to see Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya out of options and begging her, hoping to return to Hongyun Building to work as an accountant.
Unable to contain herself, Wu Xinxin burst out laughing loudly.
The laugh was shrill and sinister.
With no one in the shop, Su Yunjin planned to visit the Fuman Building tomorrow and take the opportunity to sign a long-term contract for delivering fruit wine. This way, her fruit wine would have a stable outlet.
As for Gu Ya, Su Yunjin also hoped that his business negotiations would be successful earlier than planned. Gu Ya had originally intended to help her negotiate business tomorrow.
But today’s business was far too cold.
That’s why Gu Ya had moved his schedule up a day.
“Little sister.” The voice of her elder brother, Su Muze, came from outside, and Su Yunjin looked up to see her brother walking in, her face brightening with joy.
Smiling, Su Yunjin approached him, “Big brother, what brings you here?”
Carrying meat and pastries, Su Muze handed them over to Su Yunjin while surveying their wine shop, “Little sister, I heard from others that you and your husband opened your wine shop, so I came especially to congratulate you.”
