Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 835 - 837: Is It Really Good Luck?

Listening to the news Zhao Guangran brought back, Zhao Xuran felt a bit heavy-hearted.

"You said that shop is right next to us?"

Zhao Guangran nodded, "Yes, before it was all mysteriously hidden, even the renovation kept the doors closed."

How could Zhao Guangran not be upset, the business was booming, and they were making a lot of money, but they still had some way to go before breaking even.

Unexpectedly, before they even broke even, a competitor appeared, which would frustrate anyone.

"Sigh, just thinking about it is upsetting." Zhao Guangran wished he could tear the opponent apart, "Weren’t they rumored to be in chaos internally?"

"Instead of focusing on solving major issues, they have the energy to open a shop." Zhao Guangran really didn’t understand their mindset; if it were him, he would definitely prioritize solving big issues.

Previously, Zhao Guangran mentioned the neighboring spot would also open a Hong Kong-style restaurant, but in his anger, he didn’t reveal who was behind it all.

Hearing this, Gong Ruini finally realized it was the Wei Family, "Could it be they’re really having a hard time?"

"Exactly, weren’t they supposed to be doing big business, making a fortune effortlessly?" That’s what frustrated Zhao Guangran.

If they had a way to make easy money, why compete with ordinary businessmen like them, "I think the Wei Family just doesn’t want to see us do well."

The more Zhao Guangran thought about it, the more he believed there might be a possibility, "Could they have realized the information was released by us?"

If the Wei Family really figured it out, would they let them off? Zhao Guangran’s face turned pale. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Why panic, even if they knew, Wei Zehao would keep calm, we’re not the only ones involved." Zhao Xuran gestured for Zhao Guangran to calm down.

"In fact, the Wei Family’s ticket business is already unworkable, they’re being watched all over, and they haven’t mentioned the goods for the tickets they got before, losing money in the process." Thinking of the news he received, Zhao Xuran increasingly felt the Wei Family might be short on cash.

Oh, how could they not get the goods even with tickets? Gong Ruini had always heard of the mysterious so-called tickets, which supposedly allowed you to get any scarce item at any moment.

Now, hearing Zhao Xuran, it seemed this game had changed, "Looks like more people are taking action."

"Not only are they being ruthless, but they’re also hitting them where it hurts." Without tickets, the deal might just not go through, but getting tickets naturally means finding buyers too, and Gong Ruini was excited, feeling this two-pronged approach had to succeed.

"Seems like they’ve offended someone with a strong background." Seeing that they could casually barge in demanding a marriage alliance because they hosted a banquet, you could tell how arrogant a person Wei Zehao was.

But it’s this very arrogant person who ended up so furious that he lost a lot of money, if it were an ordinary person, how could they contend with the Wei Family?

Background? Zhao Xuran sneered a few times, "No one can strike more ruthlessly than these people, they’ve angered Wei Zehao to the point of vomiting blood."

"Wei Zehao isn’t the first son; his prominence isn’t just about keeping family heads happy, it’s also his business talent providing economic support to the family."

"But his wife’s family made a move, and it’s not light-handed." Zhao Xuran wondered how Wei Zehao felt at the moment, probably very unhappy, even collapsing.

Oh, the wife’s family made a move? Because of Wei Zehao having an affair, it almost caused his wife to miscarry, causing discord between the two families.

Both families were all about saving face, they probably wouldn’t tear each other apart so directly.

"Could it all be an act?" Gong Ruini feared it might be a charade to disarm external observers.

Zhao Guangran was anxious, though aware that the topics were crucial, his own shop’s business was about to worsen, decreasing earnings—how could they not be urgent?

Zhao Guangran wanted patience, not interrupting his brother, otherwise, he would be displeased, but seeing the conversation dive deeply into this topic, he found it hard to hold back.

"Let’s deal with the current issue first, we don’t need to rush into discussing the Wei Family and their in-laws." Zhao Guangran loudly rebuked, "I came up with a countermeasure on the way back."

Addressing the main issue directly, letting his brother know he had ideas, "We can hold an event, offer discounts for example."

Previously, they occasionally offered promotions where buying a certain amount gave bonuses, which could certainly apply in restaurants.

Discounts? The idea wasn’t bad, but Zhao Guangran forgot one thing, "How long are you planning to offer discounts?"

"Right, I don’t agree with this suggestion either." Zhao Xuran opposed the idea of lowering prices, "Lowering prices is fine, but returning to the original price is impossible, they’ll only think our profits are excessive."

"If next door also lowers their prices, how long do you think we can hold out?" Gong Ruini wanted to make a good profit from this shop, absolutely meant to recoup her tutoring business expenses.

Following Zhao Guangran’s plan, Gong Ruini worried this brand would destroy itself entirely, making a comeback challenging in the future.

What to do? "The Wei Family might not have such deep pockets, right?" Zhao Guangran’s words lacked confidence, even though the Wei Family had suffered greatly, bringing down a small Hong Kong-style restaurant was fairly simple.

"Do you know if they have a backup plan?" Zhao Xuran had studied the Wei Family for a while, honestly, he was quite baffled.

"The Wei Family’s rise has been remarkably strange..." Zhao Xuran was somewhat uncertain.

Listening to Zhao Xuran recount the Wei Family’s rise, apart from their surprise, Gong Ruwen and Zhao Guangran were in awe of Wei Zehao’s luck.

"How does he have such good fortune?" Zhao Guangran always thought their luck was good until they realized how far off they were compared to Wei Zehao.

Gong Ruini was stunned, she didn’t believe it was mere luck for the Wei Family or Wei Zehao, nobody’s luck is always that good unless they’re some divine relation or favorite son.

There’s only one possibility, which is that Wei Zehao is reincarnated or transmigrated.

No, it has to be reincarnation, could it be Wan Qiweng was his wife in a past life, which is why he’s so against Cai Ming?

The more Gong Ruini thought, the likelier it seemed, oh dear, she always thought she was the only unique person in this world, yet there appears to be another along the way.

Though she wouldn’t dare approach this peer, discussing future affairs would surely end poorly for her.

In a previous life, his supposed wife suddenly flown away, wouldn’t he be suspicious?

Previously, they thought Wei Zehao’s intent to propose marriage alliance with Zhao Xuran wasn’t to bind Zhao Family, Gong Family, and Wan Family together, but rather because he knew about Zhao Xuran’s future prospects.
