Chapter 244: Worry
"Hubby, what should I do? My store over there doesn't have much business."
She looked at the opposite side with hatred and said angrily: "This bitch would rather lose money than deliberately go against us."
After all the ups and downs over those years, one had to know that the two had lost almost all their money after their divorce.
In this bigamy, both parties were a little distrustful of each other.
However, the investment money was still raised, and three million dollars had been spent on rent and decoration.
One had to know that to get this money together, not only had they mortgaged their only property to get a loan, but they also borrowed a lot from relatives and friends.
She believed in McDeclan's vision and was optimistic about the future of the university town commercial district, and her son also agreed with their views.
So when the street in the commercial district was just completed at the beginning of the year, they gritted their teeth and spent a large sum of money to rent two large stores on the second floor.
Fortunately, the business was booming after the opening, and Yippy's BBQ and her family could exchange what they had and what they needed, and with the large purchase volume, they could bargain and lower costs.
The business was going smoothly. It would take only two years for the investment to pay off and then make money. It also forced the small barbecue restaurant opposite to go bankrupt.
Unexpectedly, Talia took over.
But McDeclan didn't take it to heart.
Although the so-called competition before did not have the flavor of life and death, at most each business was doing its own business and did not cause any impact.
Even though they had large volumes and lower costs, they could outlast the previous boss and could also outlast Talia, so they scoffed at Talia's idea of challenging them.
But Talia suddenly made a decisive move. Not only were the prices of the dishes 40% lower than theirs, but this price was almost the cost price, because the current supply chain was extremely transparent.
Sometimes, even if one couldn't make money from the dishes, one could make it back from the alcohol and drinks, but Talia just made it all free and self-service.
Now, let alone water, electricity, rent, and wages, the money spent on alcohol and beverages alone was at least a few thousand a day. That was pure loss, and there was also the electricity bill for the refrigerator.
Now they even got a supercar to take photos for people. Young people loved to check in, post on WhatsApp Moments, and join in the fun.
The Internet was so developed nowadays, the publicity effect would definitely explode once it was forwarded in the group. One had to admit that they were willing to spend a lot of money.
Declan's mother was full of worry: "What should we do? Your second uncle said he needed money suddenly because he was hospitalized. I already collected 50,000 dollars to pay them back yesterday."
"We don't have much money in our account now. The bank loan and interest every month..."
Declan also said anxiously: "Yes, Dad, this is not a solution. How about we also have a big discount or something."
"Need not!!"
McDeclan shook his head decisively and sneered, "How much money can that woman lose? She probably had to beg for money to buy this store."
"At this rate, she won't be able to hold on for long. We can just wait and see how she goes bankrupt."
McDeclan's ex-wife said worriedly: "But McDeclan, the salary will be paid next Monday. Given the current situation, it's hard to say whether we can make up the money by then."
McDeclan hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "It's okay, I'll just sell the car."
"Anyway, let's not panic. That bitch doesn't have much money. Let's just go against her... and see how long she can keep losing money."
It was very lively in front of the door. A supercar had attracted young people who liked to explore novelty. Even with more staff, Talia was still a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Tina found some college students for her in the part-time job group, otherwise the full-time waiters would have been exhausted to death.
The huge crowds here made the opposite side seem even more deserted. If it weren't for the boss's ugly face, the waiter would have wanted to come over to check in and take pictures.
There was a long queue of college students waiting to eat, and they were given numbers and had to wait for their turn.
Yana saw that there was no need to show her support, so she took Ryan's hand and went shopping together, walking around the city with their fingers intertwined like an ordinary couple.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ryan looked at the beautiful succubus in front of him.
Although she was now on the sidelines, she was still very attractive.
Just when he was thinking about getting intimate, Abigail called him: "Honey, where are you? Let's have dinner together tonight!!"
"Good!"
Ryan agreed.
When they arrived at the Sichuan restaurant in front of the school, Abigail happened to be there. She was carrying the shy Gemma, who looked like they were having an affair.
After asking for a table and ordering the dishes, Abigail chuckled and said, "Honey, I've discussed it with my mother."
"Let's move into that house when we come back, so we don't have to leave after just a few days of living there, and we'll be sad."
Ryan nodded, looked at them with an ambiguous smile, and said, "You decide this.
But where did you and our squad leader go today?"
Gemma's face turned red when she heard this, and she just said softly, "No, I just went shopping with my senior sister."
"She said that after she came back, she didn't have time to take care of the sheets and quilts, so she asked me to help wash them..."
This was even more of a cover-up. Ryan chuckled and said, "The squad leader is indeed virtuous. It is a blessing in life to find a wife like her."
