I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Treat them to free meals and have the expenses deducted directly from the hotel account.

Manager Wan knew about their plan, so he did not get involved.

Mrs. Han was worried that she would reveal the secret, so she let her stay at home and rest.

The restaurant's account books were also full of water. The accountant was not as firm as Manager Wan and just did whatever the boss said.

This in and out cost him more than two thousand dollars in vain.

Business was already struggling, and now it has become even worse.

The key is that the sister-in-law is also convinced that she has the power to turn things around and revive the restaurant.

At this point, Second Sister Han finally realized that if she wanted to cooperate with these two people, no matter how rich her family was, she would have to use it.

"Why rush? There's still time. Even if the restaurant can't survive, can Wuzi still deny us his elder sister and sister-in-law?"

"That's not the problem. What I'm afraid of now is that my mother won't recognize me as her daughter! I really don't want to manage this restaurant anymore. You guys can have fun by yourselves."

"Well, you can go if you want, but this matter cannot be leaked out!"

"Don't worry, even if I don't tell you, you won't be able to keep running the business this way for long."

Second Sister Han shook her head helplessly and left the restaurant.

"It's better if she doesn't care, so as not to get in the way."

Seeing Han Erjie put down her burden and leave, the eldest sister-in-law's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do now? Should we just hand the restaurant back to Wuzi? If we continue to lose money like this, I'm afraid we'll really be left with nothing!"

The eldest sister also began to waver, thinking that she had taken over the restaurant on a whim.

"Why are you panicking? Haven't you noticed? There are a lot more customers today than yesterday!"

"Don't comfort yourself, Wuzi has left, there is no outsider here, you don't have to pretend!"

The sister-in-law's words caused Sister Han to show disdain.

"Tsk, why would I lie to you? I admit that there are indeed quite a few people in the store who are hired by me, but apart from them, tables three, seven, and nine were not arranged by me!"

Following her sister-in-law's gaze, the eldest sister took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

"Excluding those hired help, did we have so many customers yesterday?"

"Indeed not. What's going on?"

Sister Han was a little confused.

“Don’t understand? It’s actually very simple. People like to eat in groups. When they see a lot of people in our restaurant, they naturally think the food must be good, which will attract more customers to come in.

Today I hired 70% of the babysitters, and in two days I will reduce it to 50%. In the end, even if I don’t hire babysitters, there will still be a steady stream of customers coming to the store!"

"What a brilliant idea!"

After listening to Mrs. Han's explanation, the eldest sister's eyes lit up; this method seemed feasible.

"But hiring a childcare provider costs a lot of money!"

Thinking of the meager profit on the books, the elder sister couldn't help but worry.

If they didn't embezzle the restaurant's money, they would not be able to invite so many people to host the event.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Just consider it as an advance payment. When the difficulties are over and the restaurant is making a lot of money, we will pay it back!"

The funds they are using at this moment were originally intended to be distributed as dividends to their families.

Now that things have come to this, we can only fight to the death.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big sister!"

Han Chunming knew nothing about this, but Xu Damao saw some clues.

In the office of the Fulong Hotel, Qin Jingru was very confused when she heard that the business of Juxianglou on the corner suddenly became booming today.

"This shouldn't be the case. There were not many visitors yesterday. How come they are more popular than us today?"

"It's probably just bluffing!"

Xu Damao leaned on the mahogany chair opposite Qin Jingru, his face full of confidence.

"Xu Damao, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Jingru was still confused.

"It's nothing more than hiring some people to create a false prosperity. Passersby will be attracted to the restaurant when they see a lot of people. In the short term, it can indeed attract some business, but they can't rely on hiring people to maintain it forever. In the end, they still have to rely on the restaurant's hard power to retain customers."

Xu Damao was quite knowledgeable and quickly analyzed the interests involved.

"You mean, Juxianglou is now doing a business that loses money but gains publicity?"

"Right, that's exactly the point! It looks like they really spent a lot of money this time, hiring so many people. Even if they changed the sign, relying on the foundation of that old brand, they might be able to turn this seemingly unsolvable situation around!"

"What should we do? If they survive, our business will be affected!"

Qin Jingru became a little confused when she heard this, and she was determined to ruin the business of Juxianglou.

"Don't be impatient. I haven't finished talking yet. The ones who are in charge of Juxiang Tower now are Han Chunming's eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister. No matter how rich the Han family is, it will be ruined sooner or later if it falls into their hands!"

The family's decision to hand over the restaurant to Sister Han and Sister-in-law Han is indeed incredible.

"Hmm? Xu Damao, what new ideas do you have?"

Qin Jingru looked delighted.

Although Xu Damao had bad conduct, he was quite clever in his business strategy.

At least when it comes to restaurant management decisions, he has always been clear.

"Hey, we just need to pay a little attention to their business situation."

In response to Qin Jingru's question, Xu Damao smiled slightly and slowly told her his plan.

Over the next week, Juxianglou's business increased by about 20% compared to before Han Dasao took over.

As Manager Wan watched the bustling scene in the restaurant every day, the original alienation he had towards Mrs. Han and the others gradually dissipated.

However, on Saturday night, the situation suddenly reversed.

Seeing that her series of operations attracted more and more diners, Mrs. Han gritted her teeth and decided to invest all the money on the restaurant's account.

She kept asking for favors to maintain the false prosperity for a week.

As she expected, Saturday night would be the critical moment to check the results, so her sister-in-law withdrew all the childcare, and as a result, the restaurant business instantly fell back to its original state.

"Where is the guest?"

From five in the evening to eight in the evening, only a dozen customers came into the store to consume.

The stark reality was before his eyes, and Manager Wan was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Apart from being surprised, he was not overly panicked. After all, it was just a change in profit and loss.

However, Mrs. Han and her elder sister's faces turned pale as paper because they had bet all their funds on this.

If the restaurant still cannot make ends meet, then they will lose a lot of money!

Seeing that their faces looked strange, Manager Wan was a little confused.

"Boss Han, are you all right? Are you too tired recently?"

"Ah? No... It's okay. I've been really busy lately..."

The eldest sister was unwilling to accept the reality and had no way out in her current predicament.

The dividends will be distributed tomorrow. If the restaurant is still in this state by then, they will really be unable to deliver their results.

"Oh, why does this restaurant look a bit deserted?"

Just as the two were anxiously looking for a solution, Xu Damao walked in with Qin Jingru.

"Why are you here? Get out! Get out now!"
