Yan Xi did not answer her question and said, "Le Cheng, why are so many people gathered at the entrance?"
Le Cheng craned her neck to look. It was true. "Let's go and see what they are gathering at the door for!"
"Yo! Take a look. I don't know who opened this wellness center. The entrance is so deserted. Where is the imposing aura of a wellness center?"
"Hmph! They are confident. The plaque only has the three words 'Wellness Soup,' nothing else. To sell wellness soup and expect to support this million-dollar property is simply wishful thinking."
"Isn't that the truth? On this street, who knows how many have gone bust? Look, the surrounding merchants are all watching the show. It's early morning, and not a single person has gone in yet. I reckon they won't even be able to open for business today."
"There are only four flower baskets placed at the entrance, indicating that this family doesn't have many connections. If they knew many big bosses, the flower baskets would stretch for several meters."
"I think this shop will close within three days at most."
"Looking like this, can they last three days? I think they'll close in three hours."
"Exactly, there's nothing special about it. I heard the previous owner lost everything because of leaving the restaurant. I wonder which unfortunate soul took over this place."
The onlookers' words were filled with sarcasm. Especially two ladies, who looked about fifty years old, looked at the words "Wellness Soup" with even more disdain.
Le Cheng and Qiao Xi listened to their words and were furious.
"Hmph! What do you know? Our boss's wellness soup is superb. It nourishes life, enhances physical fitness, and prevents diseases. It can also prolong life and strengthen the body, allowing for preventive care. What do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we don't understand. We only understand watching the excitement." A plump lady smiled sarcastically.
"Let's see when you close," another lady chimed in.
Qiao Xi looked at the two of them, always feeling that they were instigating and suppressing the wellness center.
Suddenly, she was interrupted by a playful voice.
"Oh! This wellness center is lively? The aroma is also very pleasant." Xiao Fan walked in with a smile.
Le Cheng smiled and greeted him, "Welcome, sir. What would you like to eat?"
Xiao Fan looked at her and pointed behind him, "We've come to deliver flower baskets to celebrate the opening of the wellness center. We wish your establishment prosperous business and abundant wealth. Also, our company needs forty portions of high-end wellness soup to go."
The onlookers were all surprised, looking at Chen Feng. This wellness soup was not cheap; the lowest price was 399 yuan per portion.
Which company is this? So generous!
Before Le Cheng could speak, she saw a long line of flower baskets stretching from not far away. The original four flower baskets had turned into over a dozen, and they were all particularly expensive ones.
The faces of the two ladies who had spoken so harshly instantly turned pale. The feeling of being slapped in the face was truly uncomfortable.
They had expected an empty shop, but now it was bustling with customers.
Le Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "Qiao Xi, I think I'm blind. How can I see the most famous flower baskets in Jinshi City? They are so beautiful. I want to marry whoever is so generous."
Le Cheng looked at the colorful flowers with adoration.
Qiao Xi was also stunned, "...Your eyes are not blind. I'm the one about to be blinded. On this special day, seeing such beautiful flowers, I'm starting to yearn for the beauty of love."
Only then did Xiao Fan get a clear look at Le Cheng and Qiao Xi's appearances.
"..." What kind of divine wellness center is this, with even the waitresses being so beautiful?
Qiao Xi nudged Le Cheng with her elbow, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and tell Sister in the kitchen."
"Oh! I'm going right away." Le Cheng happily went to the back kitchen.
Qiao Xi looked at Xiao Fan, smiling obsequiously. Adhering to the principle of the customer being God, she smiled very sweetly, "Sir, please come inside!"
Xiao Fan looked at the little beauty in front of him, his smile a little reserved. He had followed Master Jiu and seen all sorts of beauties, but such pure and simple ones were rare. Her beautiful big eyes twinkled with intelligence, but her words were very simple. Such a woman is a good woman.
"Just call me Xiao Fan."
Qiao Xi smiled and gestured, "Mr. Xiao, please come inside!"
After speaking, she glared fiercely at the two ladies behind her.
"Ladies, if you dare to slander our wellness center again, we will report it to the police. Please choose your words carefully and speak with caution!"
The two ladies: "..." They just wanted a little money.
Who would run to someone's doorstep on their opening day to curse them to close down early? If the owner got angry, beating them up wouldn't be too much.
The two left dejectedly, but the onlookers remained.
Indeed, these two were hired by Jiang Qing to cause trouble.
She had heard from Jiang Xingyu that Jiang Nuan had opened a wellness center here. She knew that this place was a prime location, and yet Jiang Nuan had the ability to open a wellness center here. She was almost starving, so how could she not be jealous?
Jiang Xingyu was not her biological brother. In an instant, she seemed to have lost everything.
Could she watch Jiang Nuan thrive?
No. Therefore, on the first day of her wellness center's opening, she found people to curse her, hoping she would close down and owe tens of millions in debt.
Jiang Nuan, the good show is still to come!
In the back kitchen, Le Cheng skipped in, "Sister, forty portions of custom wellness soup, to go."
Meng Yuan and Jiang Xingyu were delighted. Someone had finally come.
Jiang Nuan slowly raised her head and glanced at her, "Who is it?"
Le Cheng shook her head slightly, "I don't know who it is, but they're rich and foolish. They also brought over a dozen expensive flower baskets. Anyway, they've brought you face."
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly, neither surprised nor pleased, and said calmly, "Mmm! Ask the guest to wait a moment, and send them a cup of goji berry wellness tea. It will be packed soon."
She wouldn't miss a business opportunity. She remembered this gesture of support on her opening day.
Jiang Nuan used large clay pots to simmer the chicken soup. Today, she had prepared a hundred portions. The kitchen was spacious and bright, and simple, emitting a faint, alluring aroma.
The wellness tea today was completely free. Early in the morning, she had used her free time to make a hundred small cakes, also for free.
Meng Yuan took a deep breath. The aroma had whetted her appetite. "No, I'm too hungry."
Jiang Xingyu looked at her, "If you're hungry, go eat something first. I'll stay and pack with Nuannuan."
Meng Yuan secretly scooped a chicken from the pot, glanced at the busy Jiang Nuan, and smiled slyly at Jiang Xingyu, "Brother Jiang, this one is even tastier. Nuannuan chose a free-range hen. It's tender and delicious. Let's each have half. Eating first will give us the strength to work. There will probably be even more people later."
Jiang Xingyu frowned, looking at Jiang Nuan, who hadn't stopped working, and felt a little worried, "Can Nuannuan handle it?"
Meng Yuan glanced at Jiang Nuan, "Do you think she's busy?"
She looked down at the fragrant chicken in her hand, "No, my mouth is watering."
