Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

A month passed quickly.

Yi Zhonghai and his group, dressed in new clothes, went out in high spirits.

The problem of finding chefs did not stump Jin Qihao. He simply recruited several chefs from the south to manage the kitchen.

Yi Zhonghai originally suggested hiring a chef in Beijing, but Jin Qihao refused.

Jin Qihao was worried that the chef in Beijing knew He Yuzhu, and that this might cause problems.

This is how he explained it to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai believed it.

However, Yi Zhonghai failed to notice that, apart from the manager and a few errand runners, the rest of the people in the restaurant were all Jin Qihao's men.

This involves control of the hotel.

Given the enormous investment in the hotel, Jin Qihao clearly wouldn't trust Yi Zhonghai.

That day, He Yuzhu also came to the Chaoyang Hotel.

"Arrange for someone to buy a flower basket and send it over."

Liu Lan said with dissatisfaction, "They are deliberately trying to compete with us."

Why send them flower baskets?

"We can't send flower baskets when we're competing. Just arrange for someone to deliver them."

Liu Lan, looking displeased, personally led a group to deliver the flower basket.

Xu Damao also arrived and bumped into Liu Lan at the door: "What's wrong? Who made you angry again?"

"Who else? He Yuzhu, of course. Why did he have to make me go across the street to deliver the flower basket?" Liu Lan complained.

Xu Damao was taken aback for a moment: "In that case, you can deliver one for me too."

"Are you and He Yuzhu out of your minds? Why did you suddenly decide to send them flower baskets?" Liu Lan said.

Xu Damao said, "I saw He Yuzhu deliver it, so I followed suit."

If you have a temper, go find He Yuzhu, don't come to me.

I'll go ask him.

Unable to afford to offend Liu Lan, Xu Damao slipped into the restaurant.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​sending a flower basket to Yi Zhonghai?"

“I gave it to Jin Qihao,” He Yuzhu said.

"It's for Jin Qihao? I don't remember you've met him many times. Do you have a relationship with him?" Xu Damao asked, looking like a curious child.

"I suppose so. The war is about to start, so we should at least give them a heads-up," He Yuzhu said casually.

"Courtesy first, then force," Xu Damao asked.

He Yuzhu remained silent, looking across the street from the window.

The entire household of No. 95 courtyard turned out; almost everyone who was able-bodied came to support the new restaurant.

Yi Zhonghai greeted everyone outside with a big smile.

Du Dongliang also arrived, but he had already gone inside to chat with Jin Qihao.

The opening of a new hotel will definitely attract a lot of people.

Yan Bugui couldn't resist and went to the checkout counter to settle his bill.

Liu Haizhong was still with Yi Zhonghai, taking care of the guests who came to eat.

"Old Yi, business is good today. The customers who come to eat all say that our dishes are good."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Of course. Our chefs are all chefs from five-star hotels."

His skills are definitely far superior to those of Sha Zhu's unorthodox apprentices.

Just you wait and see.

His restaurant is going to go out of business soon.

Qin Huairu came out and was about to speak with Yi Zhonghai when she saw Liu Lan leading people carrying two flower baskets over.

"Liu Lan, what brings you here?"

"When other businesses open, people send flower baskets. But you don't get many people to send them here."

I was just worried it would be too quiet here, so I brought you a couple of flower baskets to liven things up.

Qin Huai thought to herself, "If you're going to send it, you should have sent it earlier. They didn't send it until after their opening ceremony."

Hearing the commotion, Yi Zhonghai came over and said, "We don't need it. Take it back."

Liu Lan said, "If you don't want it, then don't. It's like I'm happy to give it to you. Take it back."

Yi Zhonghai's restaurant is clearly targeting Chaoyang Hotel.

Otherwise, Liu Lan wouldn't have been so angry.

He Yuzhu asked her to deliver a flower basket, but she was unwilling.

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Lan could no longer contain herself. Several security guards who had come with Liu Lan looked at her hesitantly.

Liu Lan said angrily, "Didn't you hear what I said? I'll cover for you if there's a problem."

Seeing Liu Lan get angry, the security guards immediately carried the flower baskets and walked back.

Liu Lan looked around the restaurant, still feeling a little nervous.

Let's leave aside the food for now.

In terms of decor, it is more upscale than the Chaoyang Hotel.

Chaoyang Hotel was renovated early on. Although He Yuzhu has a forward-thinking memory of it, the materials used back then were not as good as they are now.

Even if you lose the game, don't lose your spirit.

Liu Lan said haughtily, "Your restaurant isn't that great."

Qin Huairu retorted, "Isn't this good enough? You can ask around in Beijing; there are several restaurants that are better decorated than ours."

Your Chaoyang Hotel isn't even worthy of carrying our shoes.

“What’s the point of decorating? People come to a restaurant to eat,” Liu Lan said.

Qin Huairu said smugly, "A well-decorated home makes for a better dining experience."

Besides, the food at our restaurant isn't bad either.

"Like an old woman selling melons, she's just praising her own wares," Liu Lan said bluntly.

Just then, a customer who had finished his meal praised the food to his companion.

Qin Huai stopped them and said, "Comrades, you just finished eating at our restaurant. What did you think of the food?"

These two were there when the restaurant opened; otherwise, they wouldn't have been among the first customers.

They naturally saw Qin Huairu as well.

"It tastes good."

"So, how do you think it tastes compared to the Chaoyang Restaurant across the street?" Qin Huairu continued to ask.

The two hesitated for a moment, but out of politeness, they said, "The taste is a little better than Chaoyang Restaurant."

This is a newly opened restaurant, and it was my first time eating there. I felt the food was better.

Qin Huairu was very satisfied after hearing this and gave Liu Lan a smug look.

"So, are you convinced now?"

After speaking to Liu Lan, Qin Huairu said to the two of them, "Thank you for your objective evaluation."

"I've made the decision; you'll get a 20% discount today."

To celebrate the restaurant's opening, all customers will receive a 10% discount.

Qin Huairu immediately waived 10% of the money for them, which made the two of them extremely happy.

Liu Lan pursed her lips: "It's my first time eating it, I'm just trying something new, what's so great about it?"

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "You're still not convinced. You don't believe it when one person says it, and you still don't believe it when two people say it."

"Then let's find a few more."

From then on, Qin Huairu would give a 20% discount to anyone who said the food was delicious.

Some opportunists know that praising a restaurant's food will get them a discount, so they lavish praise on it.

Liu Lan was furious, and she even memorized the most offensive remarks.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "It's just a flower basket delivery, isn't it? If you don't want to go, you can just arrange for someone else to do it. Why are you so angry?"

Liu Lan sat on the sofa angrily and drank the tea that Xu Damao had just poured in one gulp.

Xu Damao quickly poured him another cup: "Sister Lan, speak slowly."

Liu Lan recounted the incident, cursing and swearing.

"The petty people have gotten their way. They are the petty people who have gotten their way."

He Yuzhu laughed heartily: "Just for such a small thing? It's not worth it."

Liu Lan said, "What do you mean it's unnecessary? Qin Huairu did it on purpose."

"I know she did it on purpose. I'd love for her to offer discounts every day."

"Aren't you afraid that all your customers will be snatched away?" Liu Lan asked, puzzled.

Xu Damao explained, "What's there to be afraid of? If she's willing to spend money to steal customers, then let her steal them."

"If he keeps doing that, the restaurant will go bankrupt sooner or later. What are you afraid of?"

Liu Lan was taken aback, but quickly understood. Qin Huairu's methods simply couldn't last.

"I'm so angry with Qin Huairu that I'm completely confused." (End of Chapter)
