This really is bad news, no wonder Shi Nian'an is so upset.
Xiang Wan felt helpless, "They want to open a store, we can't just not let them do that. We just need to do our own thing well, as long as we are better than them in all aspects, customers will eventually come back. A big discount can only attract customers temporarily, over time, everyone has their own judgment, and making a choice is everyone's right."
Nian'an understood the logic, but the sudden emergence of a competitor still greatly annoyed her, "I just don't get those people. Clearly, our store is right there; isn't this deliberately stealing our business? Aren't they afraid their store won't make it? Would it kill them to open a bit further away? Opening the same dessert shop right next to ours, I don't know what they are thinking!"
Xiang Wan comforted her with a few words, advising her to observe for a few days.
