Although Bao Hao Mei mainly sells various kinds of noodles, it also sells braised vegetables and various other dishes.
It is a specialty store where dishes and pastries coexist.
Zheng Xudong got inspiration from what Lin Mai said about fishing out of the sea and launched the hot pot series.
Not only people in Chongqing love to eat hot pot, but people in Jiangcheng also love to eat hot pot.
Eating hot pot in winter is a great enjoyment.
However, hot pot at Baohao is different from other hot pot restaurants. Most people will order some noodles.
Making delicious various kinds of noodles is the soul, and the hot pot is just the foil.
The hotpot made by the Chongqing chef in the store tastes great, but it's too numbing.
After eating hot pot, the family went to Jiangcheng Shopping Mall for a stroll.
In the mall, just like outside the mall, only Jinxiu Clothing is conducting Christmas sales, so Jinxiu Clothing Store is particularly prosperous.
At night, Lin Mai lay in bed and felt that everything was going well.
The equipment that Guan Yonghua compensated her for worked really well and greatly increased the production volume of clothing.
The Daxing Road food market has also opened successfully, and it seems that there will be nothing for her to worry about in the short term.
She fell asleep sweetly in the warm quilt.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-dinging, the phone rang rapidly.
Lin Mai drowsily grabbed the receiver and shouted, and Ding Haifeng's voice came from inside: "Mr. Lin, we caught the guy who splashed red paint!"
Lin Mai had already woken up from her sleep. She glanced at the small alarm clock on her desk and saw that it was only around three in the morning.
Couldn't this guy play two hours later and let her sleep for another two hours?
She asked: "Is he a boy or a girl? Have you ever interrogated him? Why did he splash red paint and write big-character posters?"
Ding Haifeng replied: "It's a man. I have already interrogated him. He just used money to do things for others."
"Then did you ask who the person who instigated him was?"
"The person who instigated him was a woman, but the man didn't know who it was.
The woman only gave the man money and didn’t reveal any information about herself.”
Ding Haifeng's words aroused Lin Mai's curiosity. Who is the sick person who is disgusting her?
"If the man wanted to find the woman, wouldn't he be able to contact her?"
"Yes, it's the woman who looks for the man every time."
Lin Mai paused: "They must have met before. The man can always describe what the woman looks like."
“I really can’t.
The man said that every time the woman came to see him, she would wrap her head in a bright red scarf.
Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and her appearance could not be seen at all.
The only thing I know is that the woman is not tall, is young, and speaks substandard Mandarin."
This woman was so mysterious, Lin Mai wanted to know more and more who she was.
She pondered for a moment and said: "Let the man go and tell him not to tell anyone about his arrest.
If you send someone to spy on him again, maybe that woman will ask him to splash red paint on him."
She asked in passing: "Did the man write in big characters this time?"
"I wrote it." Ding Haifeng replied, "It's the same two words as last time: being rich and being unkind will lead to a good death."
Lin Mai thought hard and couldn't think of anyone who would think she was rich and unkind, or who would want her dead.
Is it Mrs. Wang?
Not very likely.
Don't say that she hasn't done anything unkind to Mrs. Wang for the sake of wealth. Even if she had, Mrs. Wang would never do such a stupid thing that wouldn't hurt her in the slightest.
Besides, Mrs. Wang is being harassed by the Du family's mother and daughter every day, and she has too much time to take care of herself. How can she still have the energy to deal with her!
Since he couldn't figure out who it was, Lin Mai didn't bother to think about it.
She fell asleep again and then got up.
There was nothing in the factory that required her presence. After breakfast, Lin Mai went back to her room to continue studying.
But before she could learn for a while, Zhao Liang called and told her that all the laid-off workers from the Daxing Road market came to make trouble, saying they wanted to see her or else they would destroy the market.
Lin Mai frowned and told Zhao Liang that she would not go.
As long as those laid-off workers dare to smash up the market, they will all be taken to the police station.
Let them compensate for the losses caused, not even a penny less.
This group of laid-off workers had nothing to do with her. They probably saw that the market had hired other laid-off workers and had no use for them, so they came to her to accuse them.
This group of people is used to running amok, and if they want to show off their authority over her, there is no way!
Press the gourd and the gourd will float.
Less than an hour after Lin Mai put down the phone, Ren Baozhu called again.
Anxiously, she told her that the landlord of their Hanzheng Street wholesale store, Qiu Lihua, was breaking the contract and asking them to move out today, and she wanted to take back the store.
Lin Mai asked: "Didn't you tell her that if she breaks the contract, she will pay us 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages?"
"I mentioned it, but Qiu still insisted on asking us to get out."
Ren Baozhu said angrily, "Sister Ju, the store manager of the wholesale store, told me that Qiu Lihua often comes to the store when she has something to do.
He must have deliberately broken the contract because our business was doing well. In fact, he wanted to force us to raise the rent ourselves, which is really too much!"
Lin Mai said: "You also understand that her original intention was not to break the contract, but to force us to raise the rent, so this matter is simple.
We agree that she will break the contract, and as soon as her liquidated damages are paid in full, we will move out within two hours."
Ren Baozhu was dumbfounded: "New Year's Day is coming soon. After New Year's Day, it will be the twelfth lunar month, which is the golden period of the year for the clothing business.
If you accept the landlord's breach of contract at this time, you will lose more than 50,000 yuan a day.
Mr. Lin, you can’t pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon for a mere 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages.”
Lin Mai smiled: "Are you so sure that Qiu Lihua can pay 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages?
If she can’t get it out, don’t we have to move away?”
"But what if we can get it out."
"Then let her break the contract, and when we get the liquidated damages, we will take the initiative to raise the rent as she wishes.
The increased rent will be paid with liquidated damages. The wool comes from the sheep, and we have no losses. What do you think you have to worry about?
I insisted on setting the liquidated damages at 50,000 yuan, just because I expected this would happen."
Ren Baozhu was so shocked that she was dumbfounded by what he did to her.
She nodded on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll do what you said."
Before lunch, Ren Baozhu called again and told Lin Mai happily.
She told Qiu Lihua that if she wanted them to leave, she would pay the liquidated damages first, and they would leave immediately.
"You haven't seen that the landlord was dumbfounded as soon as I said those words.
She probably never expected that we would agree to move.
I thought she would drive us away and we would cry bitterly and beg her for mercy." Ren Baozhu said sarcastically on the phone.
Lin Mai snorted coldly: "The landlord is sure that our business is good, and he doesn't dare to delay the transaction for even one day, otherwise he will suffer heavy losses.
That's why we bluffed to break the contract and force ourselves to raise the rent.
I don’t want what she wants, so just get out and pay us the liquidated damages!”
"Mr. Lin is so awesome. She really can't afford such a huge amount of liquidated damages, haha!" Ren Baozhu smiled particularly happily.
A crisis was resolved by Lin Mai's four taels of gold.
It's getting cold now, so there's no need to take a nap.
After lunch, Lin Mai went to the bank, withdrew 50,000 yuan and went to Jiangcheng Shopping Mall.
I had previously promised Manager Kong of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall to give him the 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages that he paid her when he kicked her out of her Unique costume.
She is very busy with work and study, and has many things to do, so she has long forgotten about this matter.
If Qiu Lihua hadn't wanted to break the contract today, she wouldn't have remembered this matter.
But why didn’t Manager Kong mention it? Did he also forget it?
That fifty thousand yuan is related to his future.
If he cannot recover the 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages, he will be demoted.
Manager Kong never forgot the 50,000 yuan liquidated damages.
Lin Mai promised to return the 50,000 yuan liquidated damages in three months.
He lived like a year, and finally got through three months, waiting for Lin Mai to take the initiative to return the 50,000 yuan to him.
But he waited and waited for no response from Lin Mai, and he didn't dare to rush.
Now Lin Mai's Jinxiu clothing has brought considerable profits to all shopping malls in Jiangcheng, as well as a lot of popularity.
Even if Lin Mai can't be said to be a great God of Wealth, he is definitely a small God of Wealth. Who dares to offend him!
Manager Kong was afraid that he would offend Lin Mai by taking the initiative to ask for the liquidated damages, and she would just withdraw, leaving him dumbfounded.
Today is different from the past.
Lin Mai's withdrawal from Jiangcheng Shopping Mall will not cause much loss to her.
Liuduqiao Shopping Mall, not far from Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, also has a store selling Jinxiu clothing.
Jiangcheng Shopping Mall does not sell Jinxiu clothing. Customers can just walk a few steps and go to Liuduqiao Shopping Mall to buy it.
Therefore, Jinxiu Clothing was withdrawn from Jiangcheng Mall, and the only loss was Jiangcheng Mall.
Manager Kong was worried, so he didn't dare to speak, but he felt very tormented.
He promised his superiors that he would recover the 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages before New Year's Day, but now there are only a few days left before New Year's Day, but he has made no progress at all.
Just when he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Lin Mai suddenly took the initiative to send him 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages, which made him overjoyed.
Lin Mai put the money on his desk and said, "Manager Kong, I think you also understand that I deserve this liquidated damages.
I will return it to you as promised, because I am afraid that you will not be able to explain it to your superiors.
I gave in a step and helped you. I don’t ask for your gratitude, as long as you don’t wear small shoes for me like before."
Manager Kong nodded and bowed: "It was all my fault in the past. Thank you for having a lot of it."
Lin Mai didn't say much to him, turned around and left.
