Xie Tao was not particularly talkative, but because he'd known Zhang Zian since childhood and they were pretty familiar with each other, they could easily speak their mind. After stating a topic, he could go on continuously, mostly about complaining how hard it was to do business.
Most of his complaints were common challenges faced by small business owners, such as restocking pressures, low funding turnovers, rapidly changing trends and fashions, picky customers, online business-crushing stores, increasing sanitation fees from Grandma Gu, etc. These were nothing new. But Zhang Zian had faced all these problems before, and his were even worse. The difference was that Zhang Zian persevered through them, but Xie Tao was filled with negative energy and complained all the time.
