Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Everyone was taken aback when Song Lingge said this.

Yu Shaofen, Zhang Xiuxiu, and Jing Chu were students and didn't feel much at the time. But Aunt Lu, Lao Zhang, and Xiao Jiang knew all too well how difficult it was to find a stable job.

Across the country, many people who once thought of secure jobs are now facing unemployment.

Song Lingge and Song Jianmei are both good bosses, and their shops are doing well, so Aunt Lu and the other two work very hard and are very happy.

They hope to continue working here.

As long as the salary is paid on time and the work is easy, people are still willing to do it even if it's a little tiring and busy.

This is also why they were unwilling when Song Lingge suggested increasing the number of employees.

"Young boss, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Jiang asked.

"Hasn't the boss's wife's matter been resolved yet?" Aunt Lu asked.

Old Zhang was a man of few words. Although he didn't say anything, his hazy gray eyes stared straight at Song Lingge, as if he had said everything.

Song Lingge put down her chopsticks; this was the result of her careful consideration on the way back.

Actually, this idea originated much earlier, even when the shop had just been acquired.

However, because Song Jianmei did not have a place to stay for the time being, she did not say it.

This time, Chen Sangde's incident became a catalyst, pushing her forward to make changes.

"What are we in the food service industry most afraid of? It's nothing more than this kind of thing, where someone deliberately tries to cause trouble. The worst possible outcome is that someone ate our boxed meals and died from food poisoning. It's not something that can be resolved by us proving our innocence."

“But didn’t you tell us to go to the Food and Hygiene Administration Department? We’re innocent. As long as we present the evidence, no matter how much they try to smear us, it won’t matter!” Aunt Lu said anxiously.

After Song Jianmei was taken away, Song Lingge asked the three of them to do a few things, such as going to the Food Hygiene Administration Department and the Food and Drug Administration.

Although the police came to the shop and took the proprietress away, everyone unanimously believed in her.

So no one gave up and everyone worked together towards the same goal.

But now, unexpectedly, it was the small business owner who gave up first.

"As the saying goes, it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but exhausting legwork to refute them. The problem we face now is more than just refuting rumors. Because someone really did get poisoned after eating our food, even if we didn't poison them. But the fact is, the police came today. We are innocent, but convincing others of our innocence is not something that can be explained in a few words. They will only remember that the police suddenly came to our shop, arrested the owner, and that someone got poisoned. As for the subsequent investigation, no one will care."

Song Lingge's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts.

As her words gradually seeped in, my heart sank deeper and deeper.

"But, but we are really innocent!" Xiao Jiang pleaded weakly.

"What's the use of being innocent? The young boss is right. If you heard that someone had died from eating at a certain restaurant, would you still go there to eat?" Old Zhang rarely spoke so much in one breath.

After listening for so long, Song Jianmei finally understood.

She murmured, "Is this the door closing?"

It was a question, but everyone knew it could very well be a decision.

For others, "Delicious Songxiang" is just a workplace, just a source of income.

But for Song Jianmei, it is still her home and her hope.

She was more reluctant to leave this place than anyone else, including Song Lingge.

Song Lingge glanced at everyone's reactions and burst out laughing.

"Don't be so downcast, there's always a way out!"

Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. Although whether the shop should continue to operate or not didn't have much impact on her, she could eat delicious meals here every day, earn a lot of pocket money through her work, and most importantly, she was very happy here.

Therefore, when the dark cloud of closure loomed over Xiao Jiang and his friends, Zhang Xiuxiu and the other two felt very bad.

“I knew you had a way, Lingge, and you definitely wouldn’t close down,” Zhang Xiuxiu said happily.

Her clear voice, coupled with Song Lingge's smile just now, dispelled much of the gloom over everyone's heads, and they all looked forward to Song Lingge's verdict.

To everyone's surprise, Song Lingge still shook her head.

Zhang Xiuxiu grew anxious: "Lingge, what exactly do you mean by this? Why are you shaking your head again?"

"After all this commotion, if we insist on bringing it back to life, we'll have to pay too high a price, it's not worth it." Song Lingge felt that she had some of the characteristics of a businessman at this moment.

She also had feelings for "Delicious Songxiang," but not nearly as much as for Song Jianmei and the others.

In her mind, if a shop isn't making money, then it should cut its losses and close down immediately.

"These are all just your guesses. How do you know there won't be any results if you don't try?" Song Jianmei muttered to herself, but everyone at the table could hear the voice in her heart.

"Because of the delicious aroma of Songxiang, I don't want to see this name fade away one day. I'd rather keep it sealed away for now." Song Lingge's tone was very firm.

To be honest, she was also very sad when she decided to close "Delicious Songxiang".

But rather than sitting and waiting to die, it's better to try another way out and preserve it for its most glorious moment.

"Lingge, what do you mean by temporarily sealing it off? Stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us your thoughts and plans so we can have a better understanding!" Yu Shaofen asked the question that everyone was most eager to know.

"I do have a few ideas that I'd like to discuss with you."

Although the specific plans were still unclear, everyone's eyes lit up as soon as Song Lingge spoke, and the atmosphere became less somber.

They felt that as long as Song Lingge didn't give up, they were confident they could work with her, especially the original employees of "Delicious Song Fragrance".

“I plan to change the form of Delicious Songxiang. As you can see, this snack street is backed by Nanzhou University of Foreign Languages, so there is no shortage of customers. However, after observing, I found that almost 99% of the shops are restaurants. Because of my aunt’s excellent cooking skills, we can also get a share of the pie. However, students have diverse tastes and a wide range of choices, so although we are making a profit, it is far from enough.”

The snack street is located next to Nanzhou University of Foreign Languages. The entire street is mainly engaged in the catering industry, with dry pot, soup pot, stir-fries, snacks... it can be said that there is a wide variety of food available.

It's truly remarkable that "Delicious Songxiang" has managed to secure a place among them; it's entirely thanks to Song Jianmei's excellent culinary skills.

Only then did Song Lingge understand why Jiang Lin had wanted to sell the shop in the first place.

If it were truly a win-win situation, only a fool would be willing to let others share the spoils.
