Chapter 198: You're No Match for a Bootlicker. (Xiao 7k Requests Subscriptions!)_2
He then turned and went into the small room to wash his hands.
Xu Musen, looking refreshed, returned to the table with the steamed buns in hand.
The three guys watched his composed demeanor and suddenly realized something.
Damn!
He definitely saw An Nuannuan come back just now, that's why he suddenly changed his tune.
Then he pretended not to see her, saying such mushy stuff without blushing or skipping a beat.
And in an instant, he contrasted their sleaziness with his own shining image as a pure love war god.
"Damn... Xu Musen, you're a real dog!"
Zhou Hangyu couldn't help but speak out.
"Agreed! ×3!"
Ma Yaxing and Li Rundong couldn't help but nod their heads, even Zhao Lianmai took a glance at Xu Musen.
You have to say, if this tactic were used to deceive those young girls, it would definitely keep them happy for a long time.
"Heh, let's not talk about that. I've designed a few little games. Later, those who shout out these codes or play the games can win a mystery grand prize..."
Xu Musen began making arrangements for the upcoming activities with a grin, even if he hadn't launched his ( ) ( ), he was determined to stir up a wave of excitement at Hu Hai.
Recently, Xu Musen had already gradually taken over five or six university milk tea stores.
But there were still two or three where the price hadn't been agreed upon yet.
That included the University of Science and Technology where He Qiang was.
Xu Musen had talked to the owner of the milk tea shop a few times. They had already agreed on a transfer fee of 150,000 yuan, but she suddenly changed her mind and demanded 300,000 yuan.
The owner found out that several nearby university milk tea shops had changed their branding to Auntie Shang's, and realizing that Xu Musen was eager to buy them out, she smartly raised the price herself.
That was a full 150,000 yuan higher than the budget and her attitude was very arrogant.
Faced with such dishonest, price-hiking behavior,
Xu Musen stopped being polite with her.
He hired a few "temporary actors" to arrange the most vicious business war.
Of course, it was Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong, these two. These guys might not be good for much, but causing trouble was absolutely no problem for them.
He aimed to take over ten milk tea stores before December arrived, and he also needed to start preparing for the commercial areas outside the campus. Casting a wide net was the only way to be truly effective.
"A business war?"
Zhou Hangyu, who never shied away from stirring things up, immediately stated his stance, rolling up his sleeves: "So, are you telling me to stew her lucky turtle, or drown her money tree?"
"Go away, how can a business war be so juvenile?"
Li Rundong, annoyed, chimed in and beat his chest: "Boss Xu, rest assured, I'll go to her shop today and leave bad reviews for her milk tea, and while I'm at it, I'll take all the little snacks she gives away!"

"..."
Xu Musen rubbed his temples, feeling helpless with this pair of "young dragons."
Ma Yaxing muttered on the side, "You two stop causing trouble, are those even sensible ideas?"
But Xu Musen had an idea and laughed as he patted their shoulders, "How can you say that? In my world, even a used piece of toilet paper has its clever uses. This mission really is tailor-made for you two."
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong felt touched by his words and spoke in unison.
"Boss Xu, why does it sound like you're cussing us out!"
...
In the afternoon.
Xu Musen met up with He Qiang, and they went to the milk tea shop together again.
"You're still looking for her? She's notoriously stingy; she won't back down when she sees a chance to get an advantage."
He Qiang looked at the milk tea shop in front of him with no fondness for the unreasonable owner.
"First courtesy, then soldiers—today is like her final ultimatum."
Xu Musen smiled. Before, he was short on cash, so he had to control costs and avoid a price war.
But now he didn't need to worry about that. Even if he could afford to give her 300,000 yuan, he couldn't set such a precedent, or everyone would start hiking their prices, and then what would become of him?
He and He Qiang entered the shop; the owner, seeing the two of them, immediately put on an indifferent face.
"You're here again, but I still say the same thing, I really can't transfer it for less than 300,000 yuan."
The owner got straight to the point.
Xu Musen kept his smile and said, "Really, there's no room for further discussion?"
"Everything's gotten more expensive now, and my location is so good. How could I not make tens or hundreds of thousands a year? I need to at least break even, right?" The owner feigned a pitiable look.
But Xu Musen knew her store was barely making over a hundred thousand, and 150,000 yuan was already a high offer.
However, the location near the University of Science and Technology was excellent, surrounded by several office buildings, which made expanding the milk tea and delivery business very promising, which is why Xu Musen was eager to take it over.
"Owner, we already gave you the deposit before, you can't go back on your word, can you?" He Qiang couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey, don't put it that way. I returned the deposit to you in full."
The owner said nonchalantly.
Xu Musen had given a deposit of 50,000 yuan during their initial agreement, but she backed out before they could sign the contract.
Even though the deposit was returned, such behavior was extremely unethical, especially for larger deals involving millions, where many people borrow money to pay the deposit.
Putting all their eggs in one basket, yet you suddenly say "I'm not selling" and return the deposit—
