The world of film and television begins from childhood

So after hiring Jin Changsheng, the business naturally looked particularly good at the beginning.

This also caused the business of the Chabalou across the street to plummet, and many former customers were curious and went to Jinchangsheng to try.

The business of Chabalou is getting worse and worse. The owner Li Chengtao and the manager Guan Xiaoguan are both feeling very headache.

This should have been the busiest night for the restaurant, but tonight, Chabalou only received two tables of guests.

After the guests left, Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao lay in the office, sighing dejectedly.

"What on earth is going on? Our Chaba Loudu has been open for such a long time. Before Jin Changsheng opened, our business was always good. How come after Jin Changsheng opened these few days, it suddenly took away all our business?"

Li Chengtao really couldn't understand it. Over the past two or three years, their Chabalou had accumulated a lot of old customers. But in the past few days, something was obviously wrong, and the number of customers was decreasing.

On the contrary, Jin Changsheng's business has been booming just within a few days of opening, and customers have been coming in an endless stream. The business is much better than when their Chabalou first opened.

Guan Xiaoguan was also confused. "Yeah, it's really weird. Jin Changsheng was ruined once by Han Chunming and his big brother and big sister. How come it became so prosperous after changing the boss? There must be something wrong here."

She has also been working in this line of work for quite some time. Although she couldn't figure out the reason at the moment, she felt that there must be something fishy going on.

"Chun Ming is so smart, but he can't figure it out. I, with my stupid brain, can't figure it out even more."

Li Chengtao shook his head. They had also told Han Chunming about this matter, but Han Chunming didn't know what was going on.

At that time, Guan Xiaoguan still thought that Han Chunming was deliberately teaming up with Su Meng to bully them, but he knew Han Chunming and knew that Han Chunming was not that kind of person.

"Xiao Guan, if this continues, our Chaba Lou will be out of business in less than a month. We have to think of a solution."

"I was thinking about it, but I didn't figure it out. This is really weird. It's completely different from the troubles we encountered before."

Guan Xiaoguan was very distressed. Although she had worked in the hotel industry for a long time, she was only experienced and had a strong aura, and could control her employees.

If you were to say how smart, shrewd, and business-minded she is, that would absolutely be a compliment.

Seeing that Guan Xiaoguan was also helpless, Li Chengtao lamented, "Even you and Chunming can't think of a solution, so I can't do it either. Who else can we ask for help?"

Guan Xiaoguan ignored him and continued to think about his own plan. At the same time, he was also wondering what means Jin Changsheng used to make the restaurant's business so good.

In fact, she had thought that Jin Changsheng might have found someone to help him, but he had been so popular for seven or eight days in a row. It was impossible for him to have found seven or eight people to help him. The cost would be too high. What's the point?

At this time, she didn't understand this kind of business method. She would rather lose money than defeat the other party. As long as they failed, Jin Changsheng would be the only one in the future. So what if she lost money in the early stage? After defeating them, there would be a lot of money to be made.

When Guan Xiaoguan was in great distress, Li Chengtao suddenly shouted, which scared her.

"Taozi, why are you yelling? You scared me."

But Li Chengtao said excitedly: "Xiaoguan, do you still remember Zhou Chen, Chunming's second brother-in-law?"

"Of course I know. Why are you asking him?"

"Then do you still remember what your grandfather said here? He said that Zhou Chen is more capable and shrewd than Han Chunming. If we get into trouble in the future, we can ask Zhou Chen for help. Do you remember?"

Guan Xiaoguan hesitated and said, "I remember it, but you don't take it seriously, do you? Do you really want to ask Zhou Chen for help?"

"why not?"

"Think about it, Zhou Chen is Han Chunming's brother-in-law, and the boss opposite is Su Meng's uncle, and Su Meng is Han Chunming's girlfriend. Given their relationship, do you think Zhou Chen will help us?"

Guan Xiaoguan looked unconvinced.

Li Chengtao hesitated a little: "I think there is a chance. Isn't Chunming trying to find a solution for us? If we ask Zhou Chen for help, he might help us. Besides, we don't have any other options now. Let's just treat it as a last resort."

Guan Xiaoguan thought about it and felt that what Li Chengtao said made sense. Anyway, they didn’t have any good ideas at the moment. If Zhou Chen was willing to help them, that would be the best. If not, they wouldn’t lose anything.

"Of course we can, but we don't know him well, so my grandfather has to step in."

"Yes, yes, old man, if the old man comes forward, Zhou Chen will definitely give him face." Li Chengtao shouted happily.

"Then, then shall we go find the old man now?"

"Let's go. I'll go back and tell him now. Oh, don't tell Han Chunming about this. Got it?"

"Okay, no problem. I, I promise not to tell."

…………

Zhou Chen walked into Grandpa Guan's courtyard with two bottles of wine and a puzzled expression.

He often comes here, but tonight is different, because tonight it was Grandpa Guan who called him and asked him to come over.

So he was very curious. It was really rare that an old-fashioned person like Mr. Guan would actually take the initiative to call him.

When he walked into the yard, he saw Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan, as well as a table full of dishes.

Zhou Chen was even more confused. He looked at the seated old man Guan and asked, "Old man, what's going on?"

Grandpa Guan raised his head and said calmly, "It wasn't my idea to ask you to come here today. It was the idea of ​​my granddaughter, Little Lazy Cat, and this kid."

"They're looking for me?"

This made Zhou Chen even more puzzled. He had no connection with these two people. Why would they come to him and even mobilize Grandpa Guan?

Before Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao could say anything, Old Man Guan spoke again.

"Don't think too much. Put the wine down first, sit down, drink slowly, and talk slowly."

Zhou Chen nodded, handed the wine to Grandpa Guan, and sat down next to him. Then he found that Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan were both staring at him.

Guan Xiaoguan was fine, but there was something wrong with Li Chengtao's eyes, as if he was a little, expectant?

"week……"

Li Chengtao couldn't wait to speak, but Grandpa Guan picked up the chopsticks and hit him.

"Don't say anything. I told you to drink first. Zhou Chen, come on, let's go for a drink."

After Zhou Chen and Grandpa Guan drank a few glasses of wine, Li Chengtao got Grandpa Guan's permission before speaking again.

"Zhou, Zhou Chen, actually, we would like to invite you to come here today. Yes, there is..."

"Okay, stop talking, let me do it."

Seeing Li Chengtao stuttering, the impatient Guan Xiaoguan couldn't stand it anymore and took over the right to speak.

"Zhou Chen, actually we asked you to come here today because we want your help with something."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen felt relieved. He thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a request for help.

"For your grandfather's sake, tell me what it is."

Guan Xiaoguan said: "It's our hotel's problem. Since Jin Changsheng opened, their place is almost full every day. It has been seven or eight days, and it's still the same. On the contrary, our Chabalou has fewer and fewer customers.

We want to ask you, do you know what is going on? Why is Jinchangsheng only open for seven or eight days and still doing so well? On the contrary, our Chabalou has been open for several years, why has its business plummeted in recent days? "

"That's it?"

Zhou Chen's tone made Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao a little confused, and then they looked at Zhou Chen very expectantly.

"Do you know what the reason is?"

Zhou Chen did not answer, but turned to look at Grandpa Guan: "Grandpa, do you think I should help them?"

Mr. Guan sipped his wine and said calmly, "That's your business. I can't control it."

"Old man, what you said is wrong. I came here for your sake. If you don't say anything now, then I'll leave."

Old Master Guan glared at Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction, then sighed.

"Tell me, what do you want, kid?"

Zhou Chen then smiled: "Old man, if you want me to help your granddaughter, it's very simple. As long as you agree to let me choose something from your treasure house, it will be fine."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 668: A perfect plan, Chabalou rises again

When Li Chengtao heard that Zhou Chen wanted to choose something from Grandpa Guan’s treasure house, he didn’t think it was a big deal, but Grandpa Guan and Guan Xiaoguan both changed their expressions.

Especially Mr. Guan, his eyelids widened, and his cloudy eyes became shrewd in an instant.

"Even Han Chunming, that stinky boy, doesn't dare to covet my things so much, but you are so good that you actually talk to me about conditions."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Everyone in the world is busy for profit. I am also an ordinary person, so I am no exception."

Old Master Guan was very dissatisfied: "They are the ones who asked you to do the work. If you want to put forward conditions, go to them. Why are you looking for an old man like me?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Because they don't have anything that interests me, but you do."

"Don't even think about it." Mr. Guan refused directly.

Zhou Chen was not annoyed, but just said to Guan Xiaoguan: "You heard it too. It's not that I don't want to help you, but your grandfather doesn't want to. If there is nothing else, then I will go back first."

"Hey, don't."

When Li Chengtao saw Zhou Chen standing up, he quickly tried to stop him: "Zhou Chen, don't be anxious, sit down, let's talk slowly."

"Tell me what you want, and I will help you find it."

Zhou Chen looked at him calmly and said, "You can't find what I want."

"Uh, okay."

Li Chengtao had no choice but to listen to Zhou Chen's words. Although he had a very good relationship with Han Chunming, he had no friendship with Zhou Chen.

So, he could only look to Guan Xiaoguan for help. After all, Old Man Guan was Guan Xiaoguan's grandfather, and her words would definitely be useful.

Guan Xiaoguan noticed Li Chengtao's gaze, and started thinking about the current situation of Chabalou.

If she was just working at Chabalou, she would definitely not be so anxious, but now she is the second largest shareholder of Chabalou. This is her business and she definitely won't be willing to give it up.

After weighing the pros and cons, she couldn't help but look at Grandpa Guan, but before she could open her mouth, Grandpa Guan spoke first.

"Don't even think about it. I'm your grandfather. Do you still want to help outsiders to cheat your grandfather?"

Guan Xiaoguan smiled and acted like a spoiled child: "Grandpa, can you bear to see my career ruined like this? Please help me."

Mr. Guan remained unmoved and just enjoyed his wine.

When Guan Xiaoguan saw that her grandfather ignored her, she got angry and snatched Grandpa Guan's wine glass.

"Grandpa, if you don't help me, I won't give you any wine."

"Hey, this is outrageous."

Master Guan shouted, “Do you still want to make me faint with anger?”

Guan Xiaoguan's expression froze for a moment, and he reluctantly put down his wine glass.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, please help me. Didn't you tell me before that Zhou Chen is capable? Otherwise, we wouldn't have thought of him. Now he is willing to help, why are you unwilling to help your granddaughter?"

"Grandpa~"

Zhou Chen and Li Chengtao both couldn't help but shudder. This was too coquettish.

Old Master Guan was used to it. He stared at Zhou Chen with his swollen eyes and said, "It's all your fault. It's ok for Han Chunming to covet my things, but now you are coveting them too. You don't respect the elderly at all."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are wrong. I said this out of respect for you. Otherwise, I would have just said I bought it with money."

"Humph."

Old Master Guan snorted twice, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again: "First, tell me how to solve the problem of the little lazy cat and the others in the tea house."

"Got it."

Zhou Chen smiled immediately, he knew that Mr. Guan agreed.

This was not unexpected for him. He had many treasures, but in his heart, it was clear which was more important, his only granddaughter.

Of course, this is also because Zhou Chen only wanted one thing. If Zhou Chen asked for a lot, he would definitely not compromise so quickly.

Guan Xiaoguan added: "It has to be real and effective. Talking on paper doesn't count."

"Shut up."

Old Master Guan's face changed and he scolded Guan Xiaoguan harshly.

Having known Zhou Chen for so many years, he naturally knew what kind of person Zhou Chen was. If Zhou Chen was not sure, he would not have made that request to him.

This is a kind of commitment and confidence, so he believed Zhou Chen's words without a doubt.

Now that he has agreed, Guan Xiaoguan has begun to question it. This is not only doubting Zhou Chen, but also doubting his vision.

Guan Xiaoguan shrank his neck and wanted to say something, but when he saw his grandfather's expression, he dared not utter a word.

Zhou Chen was not disturbed by this atmosphere, and said with a smile: "If it is useless, I would not have the face to collect it."

"Okay, Zhou Chen, just tell them the solution. If it doesn't work, it's because they are incompetent, not you."
