"Thank you all for your trust in me, Lu Yuanfeng, and our Chengfeng Restaurant!"

After saying this, Mu Shuangshuang clasped her hands in gratitude towards the crowd.

"Everyone should know that Fengzi and I took a trip, but you might not know where we went!

This time, Fengzi and I went to Yulin County! Everyone should know that there was an earthquake there, and many people suffered!

On this trip, with a friend, we brought some supplies bought from town and donated them all!"

The people present, upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang went to Yulin County to donate supplies,

were instantly filled with admiration for her.

"I won’t talk about the situation over there! Of course, I’m not saying this to show off what we did.

But I feel that, while Fengzi and I were doing something important, someone was secretly playing tricks on us!"

Mu Shuangshuang was not to be trifled with. If the opponent dared to open a Lu Feng Restaurant, they should be ready for her accusations!

"Chengfeng Restaurant was established under everyone’s watch. Whether it’s the service or the dishes inside, I believe everyone is clear!

At least, I can say that many dishes in Chengfeng Restaurant are our unique creations. Even if someone mimics the appearance, they can’t learn the essence!"

Mu Shuangshuang accused the opposing restaurant of copying her restaurant’s dishes, décor, and other aspects.

She also conveyed a message to the people on the other side.

It’s one thing to imitate, but you can never grasp the true essence of Chengfeng Restaurant.

As the saying goes, the hardest part of painting a tiger is not its form, but its inner spirit.

"That’s true, we have been to the competitor’s place, but their taste still falls short of Chengfeng Restaurant. Other than being cheaper, there are no other advantages!"

Someone who had eaten at the competitor’s restaurant spoke up.

But someone else said, "Miss Shuangshuang, if you lower your prices like the competitor, maybe people will come back!"

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "The prices of the dishes are not set by me alone; they are determined by various factors. And if you frequent the restaurant, you’ll know the prices at Chengfeng Restaurant aren’t expensive!

Besides, we don’t win by price; we win by quality! I hope that when people mention Chengfeng Restaurant, they think of how delicious our food is, not that our prices are cheaper than elsewhere!"

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t foolish enough to lower her restaurant’s prices just to compete.

If people come back, what will she do later?

Keep lowering prices?

Besides, she’s confident that those people will eventually come back!

She just needs to introduce some new dishes!

"That’s right, you can’t rely solely on lowering prices!" someone in the crowd agreed with Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang smiled, "This afternoon, everyone is invited to listen to stories at our restaurant. Tea and snacks are free. Today we’ll continue with ’Journey to the West’!"

Mu Shuangshuang had been away, and the scheduled storytelling sessions had been postponed.

The competitor might be able to copy other things, but storytelling is something they can’t replicate.

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, there were several cheers from the crowd, and everyone spontaneously started promoting for her.

Mu Shuangshuang had already told quite a bit of ’Journey to the West’, and there are still many eager to hear the rest!

As the crowd dispersed, Lu Yuanfeng returned.

Upon arriving, he immediately said, "Shuangshuang, all the money has been repaid. I asked and it was a man who paid it, saying it was instructed by their shopkeeper!"

"So it’s the competitor. I suspect that Lu Xiao causing trouble earlier was also instigated by them!"

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t believe it was merely a coincidence that Lu Xiao came to cause trouble.

They had just entered the restaurant when Lu Xiao arrived right after.

"Shuangshuang, do you know who the competitor is?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.

"Yes!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

"Who is it?" Lu Yuanfeng furrowed his brows, immediately becoming curious.

"You know them too! They’re from Er Gui Village!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"You mean... her?" Lu Yuanfeng was stunned, completely unable to imagine that the one sabotaging their restaurant was indeed her!

Yu Dahai beside them looked bewildered at the two.

"Who are you talking about?" Yu Dahai asked.

"Xia Guagua! Fengzi’s former stepsister!"

...

In the backyard of Lu Feng Restaurant, Lu Xiao stood crying in front of a young woman.

While cursing, he said, "Gua Gua, this almost worked, but that damn girl interfered, otherwise I..."

In a sky-blue satin dress, Xia Guagua rolled her eyes at the person in front of her, speaking with disdain: "Even without her, you couldn’t handle Lu Yuanfeng!"

She knew exactly what kind of person he was.

But what she didn’t expect was that he got nothing out of it.

You’d think at the very least he’d give that brat a headache, right?

But instead of bothering that brat, he caused a mess for himself!

"You’re right, Gua Gua, you’re right. What do we do next? That damn girl is not easy to deal with!" Lu Xiao said with a fawning expression, looking at Xia Guagua.

At this moment, the person in front of him, adorned in gold and silver, clearly appeared wealthy.

Lu Xiao still couldn’t believe that the former non-relative daughter he once ignored had now become a wealthy person.

And when he was in dire straits, she lent him a hand!

Although he knew, this brat only helped him because she couldn’t let go of her resentment towards the Mu Family’s brat!

But it didn’t matter, as long as there was money involved, Lu Xiao didn’t care who the person in front of him was!

"She’s not easy to deal with, but am I easy to be bullied? Don’t forget, my restaurant is bigger than hers, my dishes cheaper!" Xia Guagua said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Gua Gua is right. By the way! Didn’t you say, if I went once, you’d pay me? I’ve gone now..." Lu Xiao said while eyeing Xia Guagua expectantly.

After not seeing her for a while, Xia Guagua looked even more beautiful than before.

Her skin had improved, and her features had grown more distinct and attractive.

Especially her eyes, which were as enchanting as her mother’s.

Staring at her, Lu Xiao unconsciously began to drool.

Seeing Lu Xiao’s expression, Xia Guagua felt disgusted.

But thinking she still needed the person in front of her, she took out the prepared silver and tossed it to Lu Xiao.

A half liang of silver rolled on the ground and landed at Lu Xiao’s feet.

Lu Xiao, upon seeing it, brightened for a moment but then felt dissatisfied, "Why just half a liang, wasn’t it supposed to be two liang?"

"Two liang? Why don’t you consider that you didn’t complete the task for me? Did you tarnish Lu Yuanfeng’s reputation like I asked? Did everyone doubt his character? No!

Not only did they not, but they also gave that brat a chance, drawing the customers back to her place!" Xia Guagua said angrily.
