Chapter 277: The Pastry Shop Problem Finally Resolved

Under his influence, some customers who were initially skeptical of the pastry shop began to try it again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Wan'er and Fang Xiaoxiao increased their promotional efforts, not only launching more promotional activities but also ensuring the freshness of the ingredients and the transparency of the production process.

Gradually, the pastry shop's business finally started to flourish again.

The eldest and second eldest brothers were extremely grateful to Lin Wan'er and Fang Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the pastry shop's business back on track, the eldest and second eldest brothers were filled with gratitude towards Lin Wan'er and Fang Xiaoxiao.

"That's what the older brother said."

"Wan'er, Xiao Xiao, we are so grateful to you this time. We must repay you properly."

The second brother nodded quickly as well.

"Yes, just tell me what you want."

Lin Wan'er smiled and waved her hand.

"Big brother, second brother, we're all family, there's no need to talk about repaying or not repaying."

Fang Xiaoxiao also said.

"That's right, as long as the pastry shop is doing well, everyone will be happy."

The eldest and second eldest brothers, however, insisted on making a gesture.

The eldest brother thought for a moment and then said.

"How about we give you a portion of the shares in the pastry shop?"

Lin Wan'er quickly refused.

"Brother, this won't do. I already said I don't want shares."

The second brother continued.

"Then we'll buy you lots of beautiful clothes and jewelry."

Fang Xiaoxiao also shook her head.

"Second brother, we don't need these."

The eldest and second eldest brothers were in a dilemma, not knowing how to repay their kindness.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er spoke.

"Big brother, second brother, if you really want to repay us, then run the pastry shop well and make more delicious pastries so that more people can enjoy them."

The eldest and second eldest brothers nodded solemnly.

"Okay, we definitely won't let you down."

After resolving the matter at the pastry shop, Fang Xiaoxiao turned her attention to the marriage of Princess Lin Wan'er and Li Renyi.

After Fang Xiaoxiao and Princess Lin Wan'er finished dealing with the shop matters, they hurriedly headed to Lingxi Pavilion on East Street.

As soon as I arrived at the store entrance, I saw a group of aristocratic young men gathered there, chattering and discussing something.

Fang Xiaoxiao frowned and pulled Lin Wan'er to squeeze in.

"What's going on?" Lin Wan'er asked.

One of the noblemen turned his head and saw them, and quickly said something.

"Princess, for some reason, Lingxi Pavilion suddenly announced that it will be closed today."

Another disciple chimed in.

"Yes, we've been waiting for so long."

Fang Xiaoxiao looked into the store and saw that the shop assistants also looked helpless.

She pulled one of the guys aside and asked.

"what happened?"

The man said with a pained expression.

"Miss Fang, it was the shopkeeper who suddenly gave the order, saying that there was a problem at the shop."

Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er exchanged a glance, filled with doubt.

Just then, a richly dressed young man stepped forward and spoke arrogantly.

"I came here specifically today, so I can't just not be open for business."

Other noblemen joined in the commotion.

Fang Xiaoxiao said.

"Please calm down, everyone. Let's go ask the shopkeeper what's going on."

The crowd quieted down a bit.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er quickly entered the shop and found the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, there's a huge commotion outside! What happened?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

The shopkeeper looked worried and lowered his voice.

"It's that newly opened shop next door. They used some tricks, hired some thugs to cause trouble, and even threatened our suppliers. None of the goods arrived today, so we really can't operate."

Lin Wan'er said angrily.

"How can they be so arrogant? Isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly.

"They seem to have powerful backers, so we shouldn't mess with them easily."

Fang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.

"This won't do. Are we just going to let them bully us like this?"

Just then, the noblemen outside started making a ruckus again.

"Give us a definite answer on whether we can open for business or not!"

"If you don't open the door, we won't be so polite!"

Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said to the shopkeeper.

"Manager, first organize the things that are already in the shop so that they look presentable, and try to keep the customers outside."

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we mustn't panic."

As they walked out of the shop, Fang Xiaoxiao gave a graceful bow to the noblemen and said...

"Gentlemen, I'm really sorry, but we've encountered some trouble at the shop today. Please wait a moment while we find a solution as soon as possible. We promise you won't have made a wasted trip."

The elegantly dressed young man snorted coldly.

"My time is very precious. If you can't solve this, Lingxi Pavilion will never have a good reputation in the future."

Fang Xiaoxiao smiled apologetically.

"Rest assured, young master, we will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Afterwards, she and Lin Wan'er returned to the store to discuss countermeasures.

"Wan'er, I think we should send someone to talk to those thugs and see what they really want," Fang Xiaoxiao said.

Lin Wan'er frowned.

"I'm afraid they'll ask for an exorbitant amount."

Fang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment.

"Let's give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

So they sent a clever assistant to negotiate with those thugs.

A short while later, the waiter returned, looking furious.

“Miss, they are being completely unreasonable. They are demanding a large sum of money before they will stop.”

Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold.

"It seems that the soft approach won't work; we'll have to take a hard one."

Fang Xiaoxiao clenched her fist and said.

"Wan'er, we can't confront these thugs head-on. We need to gather evidence and report them to the authorities so they can deal with them."

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but this evidence won't be easy to collect."

Fang Xiaoxiao's gaze was firm.

“Let’s start with the suppliers and see if we can find evidence that they were threatened. Also, let’s send people to keep an eye on those thugs and hooligans. Maybe we can find some leverage against them.”

Without hesitation, they immediately arranged for people to take action.

After several days of effort, some crucial evidence was finally collected.

However, just as they were about to report to the authorities, they discovered that the thugs seemed to have sensed something and began to cause even more trouble.

"Oh no, miss, they've stormed into the store and are smashing things!" a shop assistant rushed in to report.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er rushed over and saw that the store was in a mess.

Lin Wan'er stomped her feet in anger.

"These lawless bastards!"

Fang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.

"Don't be afraid, we have evidence, and we will definitely bring them to justice."

Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er rushed to the government office with the evidence, but on the way, a group of masked men suddenly appeared and blocked their path.

Hand over the evidence, and we'll spare your lives!

"The masked leader said menacingly."

Fang Xiaoxiao clutched the evidence tightly to her chest and shouted angrily.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lin Wan'er was not afraid at all.

"How dare you stop us from reporting to the authorities in broad daylight!"

Without further ado, the masked man charged forward.
