Chapter 2249 - 2258: Business Is Bleak

The hygiene and food safety of our store have always been my top priority, so I welcome the relevant departments to inspect anytime and welcome all customers to supervise.

I, Nina Rice, have a clear conscience in my work!

But for those villains and commercial rivals playing dirty tricks behind the scenes, do you know what I, Nina Rice, used to do before? Just wait to receive a lawyer’s letter! —Nina Rice.

Jane Sampson directly reposted Nina Rice’s tweet and added one sentence.

Strongly protest against unfair competition tactics.

After posting several tweets in a row, the phenomenon of haters smearing the hot pot restaurant was temporarily suppressed to some extent.

However, the impact was still there; the hot pot restaurant’s dinner business was affected and was much worse than before.

Originally requiring a queue at dinner time, at this time, there were only a handful of customers dining, and the business was quite dismal.

Nina Rice didn’t even have dinner because she was so mad after returning from the hospital, went to the hot pot restaurant to take a look, then directly went over to Jane Sampson’s house.

Knowing Nina Rice was coming, Jane Sampson specially made two extra dishes and waited until Nina Rice arrived before the three of them started eating.

"You guys haven’t eaten at this time?" Nina Rice smelled the aroma of the food as soon as she entered the door.

"Knowing you haven’t eaten, we waited for you." Jane Sampson pulled Nina Rice to the dining hall.

"I’m so mad that I’m full, how can I eat more?" Nina Rice replied angrily, but after sitting down and looking at the dishes on the table, she quickly changed her mind, "Seeing how much you care about me, I might as well eat a bit."

Jane Sampson smirked and then served Nina Rice a bowl of rice, asking her, "How’s it going over there?"

"Are you asking about the store? Not good." Nina Rice said, "There are even a bunch of jealous people online asking how much money I spent on bribes for the various departments to cooperate with us. I really feel like killing them through the screen."

Nina Rice shook her head, "I just came back from the hot pot restaurant, and the business was really bleak. Even if this thing is over, in the short term, it will still affect the store’s business. After all, it’s the store’s reputation that got damaged this time, and reputation is the hardest thing to repair."

"Sister, do you know how hard it is to start a business? When I find out who’s behind this, I’ll really kill them!" Nina Rice swallowed a mouthful of rice angrily.

"James Black is also helping us investigate, there should be clues soon." Jane Sampson reassured Nina Rice, "You shouldn’t ruin your health because of this, it’s not worth it."

"I know, that’s why I’m angrily eating here." Nina Rice nodded and continued, "Sister Grace who’s hospitalized, her husband, I really want to take a big knife and chop him."

"A scumbag?" From Nina Rice’s tone, Jane Sampson already guessed a bit but still asked.

James Black, who was next to them, was listening to their conversation without interrupting, but when he saw Jane Sampson talking and forgetting to eat, he picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it near her mouth. Seeing Jane Sampson open her mouth to eat it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You two, enough already, my eyes hurt. Don’t do this to me." Nina Rice turned her face away, unable to continue watching the lovey-dovey scene, then continued, "Sister Grace’s husband had an affair, got a mistress pregnant, and forced Sister Grace out of the house under the pretext of their daughter, transferred assets, leaving Sister Grace with no property, and even after their daughter fell ill and was hospitalized, he hasn’t paid a dime for alimony or medical expenses, not even visiting the daughter in the hospital."
