99 Became Popr
Mr. Wang did not expect the discounts and free samples to make his customers want to return for more. He could not stop smiling when he saw the long queue at the restaurant’s entrance.
The townsfolk would return for more whenever they tasted Drunken Cloud’stest dishes.
Previously, when Mr. Wang discussed business with Miss Binn, she had given Mr. Wang a few tips, and he remembered them. Still, he did not expect them to work.
Drunken Cloud Restaurant had more customers than ever before overnight. Therefore, if Mr. Wang had to choose the person he admired most, it would be Miss Binn. She was a capable person, after all.
Su Binn stopped in her tracks when Mr. Wang appeared before her. “What’s the matter, Mr. Wang?”
Meanwhile, the townsfolk waiting in line at Drunken Cloud’s entrance thought their eyes yed tricks on them when they saw the typically cold and mysterious Mr. Wang being so enthusiastic toward a country girl.
The townsfolk wondered if Mr. Wang was still the same person they knew or someone entirely different. They had never seen Mr. Wang be so excited to see anyone.
He would not even treat someone of high status that way, not to mention a young girl from a vige. The young girl only wore raggedy clothes but possessed an extraordinary demeanor.
The townsfolk also wondered if Mr. Wang fancied the young girl, but he was not like that. He only looked at Miss Binn with gratitude and respect, without any ill will.
Mr. Wang replied smilingly, “Miss Binn, thanks to you, Drunken Cloud has many customers now. Everyone only praised the two dishes when we introduced them. Business is also booming!”
There was already a line forming at Drunken Cloud before noon, and Mr. Wang wanted to express his gratitude.
Su Binn replied indifferently, “You’re too polite, Mr. Wang. It’s win-win cooperation between us, and you did most of the work.”
Mr. Wang continued, “Miss Binn, you’re too modest. I’ve seen how capable you are. You’ve essentially saved Drunken Cloud. However, I’m worried there will be fewer customers when we remove the discounts.”
Su Binn pondered and suggested, “You could host some events from time to time.”
“Do you have any examples?” Mr. Wang knew Miss Binn would have excellent ideas, so he listened attentively with eager eyes.
After some thought, Su Binn said, “You could organize a lucky draw, and whoever wins will eat at half price for a month.”
Manager Wang became excited when he heard that. “I did not think of that. That’s also something I can frequently do. Then whenever someonees here, they will order one or two more dishes as they eat. That way, we won’t lose too much by giving out discounts. Thank you for your guidance once again, Miss Binn!” Mr. Wang cupped his hands and bowed toward Su Binn.
Su Binn smiled faintly and said, “You don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Wang.”
After that, Su Binn prepared to go home for dinner. However, the surrounding townsfolk began to talk about her as she left.
“That girl is gorgeous. I’ve never seen a better-looking girl around here. I wonder who she is.”
“She must have some status, seeing how Mr. Wang was so polite to her.”
“She must be from the countryside. I heard she is the one who sells her recipes to Drunken Cloud.”
“She can’t be from the countryside. A girl from the countryside wouldn’t possess such an excellent demeanor.”
“That girl is Su Binn from Su Teng Vige. I bought candied chestnuts and tofu from her before. Her tofu is soft, fragrant, and melts in your mouth. It’s incredibly delicious.”
…
Mr. Wang was about to go back into Drunken Cloud, but he stopped when he heard the townsfolk talking about Su Binn’s roasted chestnuts and tofu.
