Teng Niu Pavilion was the joint effort of Yu Qing and her husband, Yuan Wenjie, who had always dreamed of creating their own restaurant brand.
After her husband left, she found it difficult to manage on her own and was forcibly taken by Yuan Tian, thus she had no choice but to get involved with Yuan Tian.
But as the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots; Yuan Tian was a scoundrel by nature, and without Yuan Wenjie to restrain him, he became even worse.
Not only did he take advantage of her, but he also squandered most of Teng Niu Pavilion's profits.
The restaurant industry naturally has its peak and off-peak seasons.
During the peak season, one can make a lot of money, but during the off-peak season, there's hardly any profit to be made.
If most of the profits had been saved, Teng Niu Pavilion could have operated comfortably.
But most of that money had been lost by Yuan Tian playing mahjong.
