Chapter 375 Come to the door
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Chuyi left the seafood restaurant using the excuse he had prepared earlier.
The next morning, Lin Chuyi went to Wang Fugui's house carrying various gifts that she had prepared.
Just as Wang Fugui said, Mrs. Zhao was very enthusiastic towards Lin Chuyi. Lin Chuyi could feel her sincerity and could smell a distinct scent of love from her.
This made Lin Chuyi have a particularly good impression of Mrs. Zhao. Lin Chuyi prepared Qianjin Pavilion's most popular rejuvenating skin care set for Mrs. Zhao. After meeting Mrs. Zhao in person, Lin Chuyi added a Qianjin Pavilion silver membership card to the mix.
The membership system is an activity that Qianjinge has just launched recently. From low to high, there are three different levels of cards: bronze membership card, silver membership card, and gold membership card.
These three cards correspond to discounts of 10%, 20% and 30% respectively. If you want to get a bronze or silver membership card, you need to spend and recharge a certain amount in Qianjinge.
To get a gold membership card, one not only needs to reach a higher level of spending and recharge amount, but also needs to act quickly, because gold membership cards are sold in limited quantities, with only ten cards released each month. The sooner you act, the sooner you get.
Nowadays, Senjinge has become famous in Kyoto, and owning a Senjinge discount card has become a new trend among the ladies and young ladies in Kyoto. The first few ladies and young ladies who obtain the gold membership card will become the focus of various gatherings.
Of course, this is all later talk, but the fact has proved that the membership card of Qianjin Pavilion has surpassed its own value and has become a symbol of status for wealthy people when they go out.
Although the privileges of a silver membership card are not as great as those of a gold membership card, each silver membership card represents not only a 20% discount on Qianjin Pavilion merchandise, but also a usage limit of 800 taels of silver.
That is to say, the person who gets this card can transfer it to others at a discount, or use the remaining balance to make purchases in Qianjin Pavilion and get the store’s mid- to high-end products for free.
Whether from the external symbolism or practical significance of this card, it is completely sufficient to be used as a gift.
When Lin Chuyi left, she kept a batch of membership cards for herself. She kept three different types of membership cards: bronze, silver, and gold.
In order to deal with unexpected needs, the reason for choosing a silver membership card instead of a gold membership card was out of consideration for Wang Fugui's family background.
At a time when gold cards are hard to come by, having one more gold membership card is bound to attract the attention of interested parties, which will cause them some unnecessary trouble.
The silver membership card is different. There is no limit on the number of cards, and with the financial strength of Wang Fugui's family, owning a silver membership card does not seem too abrupt.
After thinking about it, Lin Chuyi took advantage of the space and put a silver membership card engraved with the code 0213 into the skin care product gift box, and then handed the gift box to Mrs. Zhao.
There was a layer of Qianjinge packaging on the outside of the gift box, so Mrs. Zhao only knew that there were Qianjinge products in the box, and she didn't know that there was also a silver membership card in the box.
Although she had never been to Qianjin Pavilion, she had heard a little about this store and knew that the things sold there were not cheap, so she declined and was unwilling to accept such an expensive gift.
There was no reason for Lin Chuyi to take back the gift she had given away, so she stuffed the gift box into Mrs. Zhao's hands and persuaded her to accept it.
Mrs. Zhao was no match for Lin Chuyi either in terms of force or eloquence. Seeing that Lin Chuyi insisted on giving the thing, she had no choice but to accept it.
However, she did not open the gift box in front of Lin Chuyi, but kept it carefully.
While Mrs. Zhao was away, Lin Chuyi took out the exquisite hollow gold locket that she had prepared in advance and hung it around the neck of An An, the toddler daughter of Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui saw all of this, and a smile appeared on his face. He said softly, "I invited you to my home with the intention of treating you warmly, but I didn't expect that it would cost you money instead."
Lin Chuyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, chuckled and responded: "After all, this is my first visit. Wouldn't it be rude if I come empty-handed? If you come again in the future, I won't be as polite as this time."
"Haha, you're welcome. But then again, friendship is friendship and business is business. It's better to be clear about business dealings. There's still some time before lunch, so why don't you come with me to the study and settle last year's bill first?" Wang Fugui suggested with a smile.
Lin Chuyi readily agreed upon hearing this.
So, the two of them walked towards the study together. After entering the study, Wang Fugui took out the account book and banknotes that he had prepared in advance, and began to count the account details one by one, so that Lin Chuyi could grasp the operating status of the seafood restaurant more quickly.
When the calculation was finished, Wang Fugui not only handed over the two hundred taels of silver that Lin Chuyi had previously lent him for emergency use, as well as the year-end bonus of the seafood restaurant, but also paid off the rewards that he had promised to Lin Chuyi's friends who had helped to eliminate the bandits.
The reason Wang Fugui gave was very simple. Lin Chuyi's "evil-killing" friends had never come to his house to find him, and he didn't have their contact information. He had never been able to pay the reward he had promised to give, and he had always kept this matter in mind.
Lin Chuyi happened to come over, so he gave the money to Lin Chuyi, who passed it on to her friend.
Lin Chuyi was the person involved in the "making a friend out of nothing" incident. No one knew better than her whether "Zhuxie" would come to Wang Fugui to ask for the reward.
Since she had already decided not to take the money, Lin Chuyi naturally would not accept the reward in the name of a friend. She only took the part that belonged to her and returned the remaining banknotes to Wang Fugui.
The reason she gave was very simple. She was now traveling all over the country and her friends were also homeless. They didn't know when they would meet again. Instead of letting her carry such a large amount of money around, it would be better to let Wang Fugui keep it himself. This way, it would be more convenient for them to come and collect the payment someday.
Wang Fugui was really convinced by Lin Chuyi's words. He didn't dwell on the matter any more. Instead, he took out the key points he had summarized yesterday after Lin Chuyi left, and continued to discuss with Lin Chuyi the improvement of the seafood restaurant's dishes and the direction of store operations.
When they talked about business, time seemed to be on accelerator and passed by quickly. Before they knew it, it was already noon. Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Fugui took Lin Chuyi out of the study and went to the dining room for lunch.
Today's meal was cooked by Wang Da, the father of Wang Fugui and the former owner of Huixianju. The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, all of which were Wang Da's specialties.
The reason why he took so much trouble to prepare this sumptuous meal was to thank Lin Chuyi for helping his son many times.
Faced with the Wang family's hospitality, Lin Chuyi would naturally not be so tactless as to spoil everyone's fun. Faced with the Wang family's toasts, Lin Chuyi accepted them all, and after two glasses of wine and a few polite words, the two sides began to eat.
