Wanjin Lady

Chapter 398 Shareholders Meeting
"I also saw that Liu and Chen Erjie! These two are so shameless. One said her parents were sick, and the other said her child was sick. When they left, they were like mourners. Oh, and today they are in Chunri Tower, wearing the work clothes issued by Chunri Tower!"

The hot-tempered young lady immediately became anxious, "Why didn't you scare them?"

Zhang Chunhua straightened her back, a smug smile on her face. "How can they not be embarrassed? I scolded them right then and there, and they were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads! Humph!"

The girl's anger was tinged with coquettishness. "They are so ungrateful! They have completely forgotten how they begged the boss to let them into the Red Mansion! The boss was so good to them, they must have forgotten everything!"

"Won't we have to fight then?"

"Humph, they were in the wrong, how dare they do that? I embarrassed them so much that they went straight to the kitchen to hide! Ah——"

The boasting stopped abruptly.

Zhang Chunhua saw the man coming down the stairs and immediately calmed down. The prickly man suddenly became extremely obedient and even wagged his tail. "The boss is here?"

Wen Wan came down from the second floor with a gentle smile. She saw the dozen or so female workers she had hired gathered on the first floor. Her gaze finally fell on Zhang Chunhua's face. "I asked you to change into work clothes and disguise yourself as a customer to gather intelligence, and you're the one who started a fight with them?"

Zhang Chunhua chuckled, "They both recognized me! They'll be chased away anyway, so we might as well have a fight!"

Wen Wan took out her handkerchief and wiped the little girl's sweat. Zhang Chunhua blushed with shame but didn't dare to look up. "Dong Jia is so beautiful, Dong Jia's hands are so soft, Dong Jia's handkerchief smells so good..."

"Since you said Chunrilou is a complete copy of our Honglou, then they only serve female customers?"

The boss’s voice is nice too.

Zhang Chunhua hated herself for not being a man and not being able to marry her boss.

Even if it means marrying into the wife's family, it's fine!

Zhang Chunhua folded her hands obediently on her stomach, her voice, which had been loud just a moment ago, now hushed slightly. "It's a female customer, but I see all kinds of people going in. It's just like a cloth shop in the city."

Wen Wan nodded, "That is to say, as long as you are a female customer, regardless of your social status, there is no threshold to enter." The young lady frowned slightly and said to herself, "No wonder the prices of drinks are set so low."

"Boss..." Zhang Chunhua tugged at Wenwan's sleeve. The material of Boss's clothes felt very precious and smooth. No wonder it looked so good on Boss. "I even saw some of our former customers. I saw Madam Wu from the rouge shop and the daughter of the head of the family were there too. They were all our customers in the past!"

The young ladies in the Red Mansion also started to make a fuss, shouting that they wanted to cause trouble for Chunri Tower, but were suppressed one by one by Wen Wan.

Wen Wan patted Zhang Chunhua's hand and said, "Don't panic. Everyone should do their job. I'll take care of the rest."

But some people were dissatisfied. The salary of Honglou was based on a base salary plus commission. A few days ago, the city was in an uproar because of the Japanese incident. All the wealthy families stayed indoors, and as a result, the business of Honglou also decreased a lot.

Now there is another Chunri Tower!
Then the commission issue...wouldn't that be in vain?

“This Spring Pavilion is targeting us.” The first shareholders’ meeting of the Red Pavilion was held here. It was the third night since the Spring Pavilion opened. Mo Sufang and Lei Zexin were well-informed. They took advantage of the Red Pavilion’s closing time to close the door, turn on the lights, and analyze the intelligence.

Mo Sufang lived up to Wei Zheng's assessment of "not knowing how much wealth there is." Wen Wan had assumed this angel investor would just throw money at the Red Mansion and leave it alone, but it was clear she was very familiar with the situation. "I've sent people to Chunrilou over the past two days, and it's exactly like our Red Mansion. It's a carbon copy, no exaggeration. They even have a membership system, but there's no minimum spend. As long as you're a member, you can get great deals."

Wen Wan was surprised at Jia's flexibility.

The membership system of Red Mansion requires a certain amount of consumption to enjoy the membership price, while the Spring Banquet is based on recruiting people, without any additional conditions, and you can enjoy discounts by becoming a member.

"I have to say, this trick is quite effective. Our milk tea is actually helping others. In the past two days, many young ladies in the city have gone to Chunrilou. A cup of milk tea is only 20 cents. They use the route of small profits but quick turnover, and their popularity has actually overshadowed us!"

Lei Zexin slammed the table and said, "We were the ones who made this milk tea famous first! And now they're just here to take our cake!"

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Our customer base is different. They go for the common people route, while we go for the high-end boutique route."

"But the two groups are influencing each other, and sooner or later, they'll drag down the Red Mansion." Madam Mo's face showed no sign of panic. After all, she'd been in the business world for a long time and had seen too many despicable tactics from her peers. "Besides, they're also putting on an audio play tomorrow. The script is called 'The True and False Princess.' Although I haven't got the script yet, I suspect... the plot will be exactly the same as 'The True and False Daughter.'"

Wen Wan laughed in anger, "This isn't just about picking peaches, this is about ripping away the mother tree!"

Being attacked from both sides, the three of them actually laughed out loud.

After all, he's a thousand-year-old shrewd person, so he'll be fine if he's angry for a while. "The Red Mansion attracts customers, firstly because of its high entry threshold, and secondly because of its audio dramas, where young ladies come for a quiet and elegant place. If everyone watched the same dramas and drank the same milk tea as me, and lost this dignity, the Red Mansion would be on the verge of death."

Wen Wan tapped the table lightly. "When I set the threshold, my original intention was to highlight differentiation and give customers a true sense of dignity. Only by praising them highly can they pay for the sentiment. Milk tea is not worth much, and twenty cents can still make a profit. Originally, everyone does business based on their own ability, but this... is really disgusting."

“This is my fault.” Wen Wan pursed her lips and looked at the other two shareholders. “The Jia family is behind Chunri Tower. She is trying to deal with me, and you two are innocent victims.”

These two were not as well-informed as Wei Zheng, so they only knew that the owner of Chunri Tower was surnamed Wang, but did not know that it was actually this Jia woman.

Mo Sufang didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and patted her shoulder. "Miss Wen, you said we were innocently implicated, but aren't you? When you run a business, you're bound to run into all sorts of monsters. If not the Yuan family, there are also the Zhao, Li, and Wang families. Besides, to be honest, the Yuan family and I have a personal grudge, so you don't have to feel guilty about it. As long as you can make the Red Mansion a success, you'll have made amends."

Lei Xinze secretly thought that Madam Mo's words were very well-spoken and flawless. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Madam Mo's words are exactly what I want. The Red Mansion's business is booming, and I don't know how many people will be jealous. It's only a matter of time before they become jealous and take action. The most urgent thing is how to get through this difficult time."

"Miss Wen," Mo Sufang said, reassuring her. "If you have any financial difficulties, please let me know. I don't even care about the Yuan family!"

This time, the smile on Lei Zexin's face became more sincere.

Sure enough, people still have to stand on the right side.

Wen Wan stood up, walked in front of the two people, and bowed slightly, "Thank you both shopkeepers for your consideration."
