That night, the barbershops in the entire village seemed to have declared war on me.
Not only did they quickly change their price tags overnight, but they also launched many long-term discount packages, engaging in a price war against me.
Yet they never understood that my customers didn't care about the price at all. My clientele came from all over the world; I hardly did business with the villagers. So no matter how low their prices went, it had no impact on me whatsoever.
After a few days, the number of customers in my shop only increased, and no matter how much they stirred things up, it was all in vain.
Now, there were people lining up outside my shop from 8 AM to midnight. Even though I lived and worked there, I still couldn't keep up with the demand.
Just when I was feeling overwhelmed, a girl came in to apply for an apprenticeship.
Her name was Xiuying. She was hardworking, practical, and clever. With her around, not only did our efficiency increase, but our revenue also hit new highs.
Just when I thought everything was looking up, a flood of posts suddenly appeared online about me.
I clicked to take a look, and it was all complaints from my former apprentices.
Seeing those slanderous remarks sent a chill down my spine.
They had originally been farmers who relied on the weather for their livelihood, with families to support while enduring the harsh sun and wind. I couldn't bear to see them struggle, which is why I taught them skills for free.
Later on, everyone gained skills and opened their own shops, improving their lives significantly compared to before.
But they not only lack gratitude, they even want to bite back at me. It's truly laughable and sad, like eating from a bowl and then cursing the mother who served it.
I have a clear conscience, so I put down my phone and couldn't be bothered to respond.
Who would have thought that these people would actually drag a banner to my shop and cause a scene!
Hua Xiaobei shouted everywhere with a loudspeaker: "Heartless scammer disrupting the market and monopolizing it, bullying us poor folks who don't know how to do business. They won't let us common people live!"
His voice was booming, drawing a crowd both inside and outside the shop, but he kept repeating the same few lines, and soon enough, everyone grew tired of it.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, this little brat brought over a bucket of sewage and splashed it directly into my shop!
Not only did he splash it everywhere, but he also affected my customers. The whole place was filled with a terrible stench, making it impossible to conduct business.
I grabbed a hoe and immediately confronted him. Hua Xiaobei pulled out a steel pipe and challenged me.
At that moment, a voice suddenly shouted from the crowd: "Stop! Everyone put down your things! What kind of behavior is this?"
"Uncle, you don't know how bad this person is. He caused our village's barbers to lose their jobs collectively; someone like him deserves to be beaten!"
Hua Xiaobei had been able to bully people in the village for so many years precisely because of that shout of "Uncle."
Ding Youtian was the village chief of Panhu Village, but fortunately, he was a reasonable man and had taken good care of me over time.
"Chief, he comes to my shop every day to pick a fight. I can't take it anymore! A while back, he forced me to pay a fine, and just now he came and made a mess again. It's impossible for me to run my business like this!"
"Xiaobei, is what Zhou Zheng said true? You little rascal are simply out of control!"
"I just wanted to stand up for our village's barber. Panhu Village is all about unity; we should all make money together."
"Shut your mouth! Don't use the excuse of doing it for everyone’s good. What’s the difference between you and a thug? Besides, what's wrong with him running his business legally? On what grounds do you think you can fine him?"
Hua Xiaobei fell silent, merely pouting with a look of defiance on his face.
"If you're envious of his good business, then focus on improving your own skills. Stop thinking of underhanded tricks; fair competition is the way to go!"
"I’ve made it clear: from now on, Zhou Zheng will be our living advertisement in Panhu Village! As long as I'm here, no one is allowed to trouble Zhou Zheng!"
