Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Wang Da Ba leaned back on the small couch, listening to the waiter's report.

"Young master, I have already spoken to that lady as you instructed, and she should be coming to see me in the next few days."

Wang Da Ba waved to the guard standing beside him, and the guard took out a silver ingot and gave it to the waiter.

The shopkeeper on the other side looked at Wang Da Ba with eager eyes, rubbed his hands together, and said:

"Young master, don't forget you promised us compensation..."

Once the first person to speak up was identified, the other restaurant owners followed suit and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, this little bit of money is nothing to me."

"After this is accomplished, I will reward you handsomely!"

Wang Da Ba jumped up from the small couch, excitedly planning to head to the council hall of the villa.

The restaurant owner hurriedly stopped Wang Da Ba: "Young master, why don't you give us a portion first? I'm worried about delaying this!"

"presumptuous!"

The guard shouted sternly.

The restaurant owners, however, forced themselves to continue:

“If you hadn’t initially promised to compensate us for the losses from switching to selling jasmine milk, we wouldn’t have agreed to sell this damn milk.”

"It's almost the end of the month, and the boss will be checking the accounts."

If the boss knew that this month's turnover had decreased so much...

Not only will we not get our wages, but we'll probably also be penalized, which is why we have no choice but to ask you to pay us in advance!

The guard sneered, "Then why don't you say that you were greedy and only agreed to do things after taking my young master's silver notes?"

The shopkeepers were filled with regret.

A few days ago, this young master approached them and said that if they switched to selling his jasmine milk, he would give each of them 500 taels of silver.

He has consistently promised that jasmine milk and milk tea taste the same or even better.

Initially, customers may not be used to it, and sales may decline, but things will improve later.

However, he also promised them that he would compensate them for all the losses caused by the decline in performance.

I just need to do him a favor: when Madam Xu, who delivers milk tea, comes to investigate why they don't sell milk tea, I need to do as he says.

After tasting the samples brought by Wang Daba, the restaurant owners couldn't wait to agree.

The reason is simply because jasmine milk does indeed have a richer flavor than milk tea, yet the price is the same.

They can make a net profit of 500 taels of silver without paying the slightest price!

Why not?

Anyway, selling milk tea is the same as selling jasmine milk.

But they regretted it on the very first day.

Customers reported that the jasmine milk tea tasted bitter and the milk flavor was not as good as the milk tea they used to have.

Sales and reputation have plummeted compared to their previous levels of popularity.

I used to make a net profit of 50 taels of silver a day selling milk tea, but now that I'm selling jasmine milk, I can't even make half that!

They asked the delivery guards, who said it was the same thing, and that the problem was with their tongues.

The guards all carried swords and had cold eyes, so they dared not say a word.

They were only thinking that the young master had promised to compensate them for their losses.

After anxiously waiting, the shopkeepers finally completed the task assigned by the young master.

They couldn't wait to ask when the young master would give them compensation.

Suddenly, one of the shopkeepers remembered something and straightened his back, retorting:

"But you haven't even given us the promised 500 taels reward for switching to jasmine milk yet, no wonder we're anxious!"

Wang Da Ba's face also turned ugly. Damn it, the people in this place are all troublemakers!

It's one thing for Xu Qing to disregard him; women are all short-sighted.

How can these restaurant owners be so shallow!

Is Wang Daba the kind of person who would default on a debt if he couldn't pay?

Wang Da Ba coldly said, "Go and get the silver notes."

"Yes."

The guards withdrew in response, and the guards walked out of the room with their heads held high.

Seeing this, the shopkeepers were not happy either.

Now that they've offended Xu Qing, it's probably impossible for them to order milk tea again.

But this jasmine milk is really terrible; it doesn't sell as well as the tea in the shop!

A moment later, the guard came in with a strange expression and whispered a few words in Wang Da Ba's ear.

Instantly, Wang Daba's face turned even uglier.

He gritted his teeth and said to the shopkeepers, "Come back tomorrow to collect the silver. Show the guests out!"

The shopkeepers were puzzled. Seeing that the man wanted to see the guests off before they even received the money, none of them wanted to leave.

What a joke! Even if we don't give them the promised 500 taels of silver, we should at least give them the compensation for the losses of these seven days!

Otherwise, with their monthly wages of 10 taels of silver, how could they possibly cover this 350 tael deficit!

Wang Da Ba glanced back at the restaurant managers sitting on the ground like shrewish women and said in a sinister tone:

"If you don't leave now, you're not leaving at all."

Come to collect your silver at the same time tomorrow as today, and you won't be shortchanged by a single penny.

If you continue to argue unreasonably, I'll have my guards chop off your heads and bury them as fertilizer!

The guards surrounded the shopkeepers on the ground, and together they drew their gleaming broadswords, pointing them menacingly at them.

The shopkeepers were frightened, but still held onto a sliver of hope that the man would come to collect the silver the next day, so they all scrambled to their feet and ran outside.

After the shopkeepers left, Wang Da Ba ripped off the jade pendant he was wearing and threw it to the guard in front of him.

"Go to the yamen and borrow two taels of silver from the magistrate. He won't make things difficult for you once he sees this token."

......

Meanwhile, Xu Qing was extremely busy.

She began a radical renovation of the shop she had taken over, based on the modern bubble tea and fried chicken shop decorating style she remembered.

First, a blue signboard with cloud patterns was custom-made.

It says "Hui's Milk Tea and Fried Chicken Shop" on it.

The shop is divided into an ordering area, a food preparation area, and a seating area.

The seating area features wooden tables and chairs, each with a soft cushion and a beautiful, fresh tablecloth.

A vase sat on the table, filled with seasonal wildflowers.

Screens painted with patterns of flowers, birds, fish, animals, landscapes, and other motifs separate each seat, enhancing privacy.

While renovating, Xu Qing also hired people to distribute flyers.

The flyers were simple line drawings that she had her family members draw.

The shop's name was written in the very center of the paper.

The following few simple strokes depict the appearance of the milk tea and fried chicken sold in her shop.

It is accompanied by a cute and playful image of a greedy child eating heartily.

Cao Laoda automatically sent people to help Xu Qing distribute leaflets and promote the product on the dock.

After the renovation was completed, Xu Qing hired a lion dance troupe and chose an auspicious day to prepare for the grand opening.

Meanwhile, Wang Da Ba waited and waited at the villa, lying down and sitting down as he waited.

In the end, instead of Xu Qing appearing, we received news that Xu Qing was going to open a milk tea and fried chicken shop.

Enraged, he threw all the tea and snacks on the table onto the floor.

"Damn it! That bitch dared not come begging me to let her go, and she even runs her own crappy shop!"

"I've spent so much money on her and lost so much face for her, why shouldn't she come!"
