After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness
Chapter 42 1 Showdown
Qin Suyu couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart, and at the same time, she became more determined to compete with her.
Qin Suyu walked slowly along the increasingly prosperous Weiyang Street with small steps.
There was a gleam of jealousy in her eyes that was hard to conceal, as if she could foresee the future glory of those shops, and also foresee the burning jealousy in her heart.
When she finally stood in front of Qin Suling's shop and looked at the brand new sign, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart.
She walked up to Qin Suling and said with a bit of sarcasm in her tone: "Is this shop really yours?"
Qin Suling smiled, with a hint of pride in her smile, yet still gentle: "Yes, what do you think, sister?"
Qin Suyu's heart tightened, and the unbelievable surprise surged like a wave: "How is it possible! This store..."
Her words were full of reluctance and doubt.
However, when her thoughts drifted back to the scene in Weiquan Building that day, Qin Suling's nonchalant attitude, and the confidence and composure that she inadvertently revealed, she suddenly realized.
It turns out that everything had been foreshadowed, but I just didn't notice it.
"Why did you suddenly think of buying a store on Weiyang Street?"
Qin Suyu tried to find the answer from Qin Suling.
Qin Suling responded casually: "I like this place, so I bought it."
There was an unquestionable firmness in her tone.
After hearing this, Qin Suyu felt mixed emotions.
She looked at Qin Suling, her eyes full of resentment and jealousy.
She suddenly asked loudly, "You knew I wanted to buy your store, why didn't you tell me clearly? What tricks are you playing?"
Qin Suling smiled slightly and looked directly into Qin Suyu's eyes: "Even if that's the case, what can we do?"
There was a hint of contempt and disdain in her tone.
Qin Suyu was choked speechless by this question. She glared at Qin Suling angrily and turned to leave.
However, Shopkeeper Li appeared at the right time and politely sent the guest away: "Second Miss, we still have business to do. Please go back."
Qin Suyu was extremely angry. He glared at Qin Suling fiercely, spat at the air, and then returned to his shop angrily.
She looked at the bustling flow of customers in her shop and felt a little more balanced.
However, when she looked at Qin Suling's shop again, she found that although it was not as lively as her own shop, there were also many customers coming in and out.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Qin Suling's back and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Miss, should we also do some preferential activities? After all..."
Qin Suling shook her head: "No need."
She took a sip of the sour plum soup in her hand, and the sweet taste made her feel comfortable.
She knew that her sour plum soup was very popular in the palace and had spread throughout the capital.
She believed that those noble ladies would come here just to taste this sour plum soup.
Moreover, her store focuses on the high-end market, and if it is too cheap, it will lose its dignity and uniqueness.
As night falls, the lights on Weiyang Street gradually light up.
Qin Suling's shop looked particularly peaceful and elegant in the night, and the arrival of those noble ladies at Concubine Zhao's birthday banquet added a bit of brilliance to her shop.
People came one after another to taste this legendary sour plum soup, and the store was bustling with people for a while.
Aunt Li looked at the account book in her hand with a satisfied smile on her face: "Young Miss is really far-sighted! She made so much money on the first day!"
Qin Suling smiled and nodded, she knew this was just the beginning.
Her shop will definitely get better and better in the future.
On the other side of the bustling market, in Qin Suyu's beverage shop, Qin Suyu was buried in the account book, the tip of her pen quickly moving across the paper, making a rustling sound.
She raised her head and rubbed her sore eyes, her gaze swept across the strings of numbers, her heart feeling heavy.
After being busy all day, she thought she would have some profit, but the accounts in front of her told her that the profit did not increase throughout the day, but instead she lost seven or eight taels of silver.
Although Qin Suyu had been informed in advance before the shop opened that the beverage shop business might be risky, Qin Suyu inevitably felt frustrated at this moment.
She looked at the endless stream of customers outside the store and the shop assistants who were so busy that they almost collapsed, but her heart was cold.
Why can't the seemingly prosperous appearance cover up the fact of losses?
"Have you recalculated?" There was an unquestionable firmness in Qin Suyu's voice.
The accountant replied cautiously: "Second Miss, I have calculated it three times, and it is indeed a loss of seven or eight taels of silver."
Qin Suyu was silent for a moment, then asked, "We hired someone to design and distribute promotional posters before, which is a cost investment. In addition, the store is offering free tastings and a half-price promotion today, so it's really difficult to make a profit..."
The accountant nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Suyu interrupted the financial director's explanation, her eyes flashing with determination, "We previously advertised that we would provide free trials and half-price discounts for the first three days of opening. Since we said three days, we must do it."
The accountant asked cautiously, "Will the store continue to offer free samples tomorrow?"
"Of course." Qin Suyu answered without hesitation, "Although there is some loss, this is also for the promotion of the store. Once the customer base stabilizes, we will naturally make a profit!"
However, after the three-day promotion ended, the number of customers at Qin Suyu's beverage shop dropped sharply.
Those customers who once came for the half-price discount now chose to leave when the drinks returned to their original prices.
What made Qin Suyu feel even more helpless was that since she knew nothing about drink-making, she had to hire someone to make all of her drinks, and the taste was only average.
In contrast, Qin Suling's shop is doing a booming business because of the unique taste of its drinks.
Qin Suyu stood at the door of the store, looking at the figures walking away, feeling mixed emotions.
She thought the beverage store would be profitable after the three-day promotion ended, but she didn't expect that the store would still be losing money because of the significant decrease in customer flow.
At this moment, she deeply realized the difficulty of doing business.
No matter what business you are in, the most critical competitive advantage lies in the product itself.
The reason why Qin Suling can ride the waves in the business world is that she always insists on quality first.
The sour plum soup she developed has a unique taste and is loved by customers. In order to meet the tastes of more customers, her store also sells a variety of drinks such as fruit juice, rice milk, soft drinks, and dairy products.
She carefully adjusts each drink to ensure that the taste is impeccable before launching it into the market.
Qin Suyu stood at the door of the store, looking at Qin Suling's store in the distance, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
As the beverage shop got on track, Qin Suling handed over the daily management of the shop to Manager Li, and began to pay attention to the relationship between Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang.
After some inquiries, she learned that Qin Shizhao wanted Fang Rushuang to enter the palace to propose marriage for Qin Suyu and continue the marriage with the fourth prince. But Fang Rushuang believed that the fourth prince was not a good man and was worried that Qin Suyu would suffer misfortune after marrying him. She did not want to offend Qin Suyu because of this matter. She did not want to be talked about behind her back.
Qin Suyu felt mixed emotions after hearing the news.
She knew that Qin Shizhao was thinking about the interests of the family, but Fang Rushuang's concerns were not unreasonable.
In this complex and ever-changing situation, who can guarantee that their choice is correct?
What made Fang Rushuang even more speechless was that Qin Shizhao also hoped that Qin Suyu could become the fourth prince's principal wife.
This unrealistic idea struck her as ridiculous.
In her opinion, although the Fourth Prince has certain strength and influence, he still needs to go through countless tests and tribulations to become the crown prince.
Although Qin Suyu is smart, she is a woman after all.
