Chapter 79 Peng's Family Happily Acquires Rong's Military Supplies
After undergoing a comprehensive inspection and closing for a week, Rong's restaurant reopened. The company issued an apology letter, subtly conveying that the restaurant had passed inspection and would no longer have rats, reassuring customers to dine with peace of mind.
However, business continued to decline sharply, with some restaurants not even receiving a single customer for a whole day.
The restaurant that was first exposed for having rats has now closed down and even sublet the shop, turning it into a clothing store.
In contrast to the Rong family's dire situation, the Peng family's soy sauce business flourished.
On the second day after Peng's soy sauce reopened after passing inspection, rumors spread like wildfire on various chat apps, telling everyone that the hygiene and safety incident of Peng's soy sauce was actually a frame-up and that there was no such thing as selling expired soy sauce, so that everyone could eat it with peace of mind.
Of course, this alone is not enough to restore Peng's sales!
The big news came on the third day when Rong's Military Industry announced its cooperation with Peng's Soy Sauce.
As is well known, Rong's military industry does not sell to foreign companies; its clients are domestic deployments, such as the military, national defense, and government.
From basic necessities like clothing, housing, and transportation to major national defense capabilities, all are funded by unified domestic government appropriations.
Now that the Rong family and the Peng family are cooperating to produce soy sauce, isn't this a clear indication that the military, including the Rong family's staff canteen, uses Peng family soy sauce? What else is there to doubt?
When this news broke, Peng's soy sauce sales did not fall, but instead rose.
Peng Xiu'e, who signed the cooperation contract with Rong's Military Industry, was directly promoted to president, while her elder brother Peng Xuzhe, the original president, was demoted to regional manager, falling several ranks.
Lu Qianqian was completely surprised when she saw the news.
Is this the surprise Rong Changqing was referring to?
As expected, the moment the Second Young Master made his move, you could tell he was something special!
She felt much better now and stopped blaming herself.
Open WeChat, and you'll see Rong Changqing's WeChat account.
Lu Qianqian: You did a great job with the WeChat red envelope; there's a reward for that.
Waiter: Give me 88 yuan?
Lu Qianqian: Don't be disgusted, 88 can have beef rice now.
Xiao Erzi: Okay, thank you for the treat, my dear wife.
Lu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud. She really wanted to ask him when he would come back, as she hadn't been used to sleeping alone lately.
But then I thought about it, and she was just going to work. She wasn't anyone to him, so it wouldn't be good to ask too many questions.
Just then, the phone rang; it was Lu Kai calling her.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes as she answered the phone: "Dad? What's up?"
"Qianqian, come back for dinner tonight. It would be best if you brought your son-in-law. Your grandma is here and said she misses you."
"Grandma?" Lu Qianqian immediately pictured her grandmother's stern face. From childhood to adulthood, her grandmother had treated her and Lu Tingting the same way: unloving, uncaring, and very strict. For example, she set curfews, forbidding them from wearing skirts above the knee, and forbidding them from having casual relationships with men and women.
It's nothing, he even lectured Xu Rushi, criticizing her for not giving birth to a son.
Thinking about this grandmother, Lu Qianqian didn't really have much affection for her, but no matter what, since her grandmother had come, she still felt it was necessary.
"okay, I get it!"
"Okay, remember to bring your son-in-law back." Lu Kai hung up the phone after saying that.
"Seven." Lu Qianqian called out a few times from inside the house, and Seven returned from the garden looking disheveled.
"Madam, what is it?"
She's taking the kids outside to play in the mud, building the Great Wall.
Seeing her cat-like appearance, Lu Qianqian chuckled and said, "I'm going back to the Lu family tonight. If it gets late, I won't come back."
"Go to the Lu family?" Qi Tiao quickly said, "I'll go with you."
"No need." Lu Qianqian shook her head. "I'll go back on my own. Don't worry."
This is a family dinner; it wouldn't be appropriate for Qi Tiao to attend.
“But I’m worried. I’ll stay home with the kids. I’ll have Baiban take you there and wait for you outside. You have to be back tonight.” Qitiao hadn’t forgotten that Rong Changqing had entrusted his wife and children to her before he left.
Seeing Qi Tiao's insistence, Lu Qianqian could only nod.
After tidying up and changing his clothes, he followed Bai Ban out the door and returned to the Lu family home.
Lu Qianqian got out of the car, and Bai Ban parked the car a little further away to wait.
"Young Miss." The maid at the door saw Lu Qianqian return and immediately came to take the things in her hands. "The old lady has returned. Please come in."
Lu Qianqian nodded and thanked her.
Inside the room, laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air.
The old lady, Liao Jie, sat in the main seat with a stern face. Her adopted daughter, Liao Wenwen, was chatting and laughing with Xu Rushi and Lu Tingting.
When Lu Kai adopted Liao Wenwen, his father had already passed away. Liao Wenwen was the daughter of the Liao family. After losing her parents, she was transferred to Liao Jie's name, and naturally, her name was not changed.
Liao Wenwen is only twenty-seven years old, a few years older than Lu Qianqian and Lu Tingting, but she is a generation higher in terms of seniority.
Upon seeing Lu Qianqian return, Liao Wenwen came over and warmly took her hand, saying, "Qianqian, it's been a long time! You've become more and more beautiful."
"Auntie," Lu Qianqian called out, then looked at Liao Jie, "Grandma."
"Okay." Liao Jie nodded and invited her inside to sit down.
Lu Qianqian looked around and chose a separate sofa to sit down. Lu Kai then hurriedly asked, "Why isn't my son-in-law here?"
“You don’t have a son-in-law,” Lu Qianqian said directly.
She had already achieved her goal of using President Peng, so there was no need to continue pretending. Otherwise, if she caused such a big incident again, she would truly be a sinner.
However, the Lu family did not see it that way.
Lu Kai became extremely anxious: "What do you mean? You and President Peng are divorced? How can you be so short-sighted?"
Xu Rushi gloated: "Could it be that you ran away when the Peng family ran into trouble before?"
Lu Tingting couldn't help but laugh, "The Peng family is now a company that cooperates with the Rong family's military industry. Look, now that you're gone, they're all set." The implication was that Lu Qianqian was a jinx.
She hadn't forgotten that Lu Qianqian had beaten her up and sent her to the detention center for seven days, leaving her with a criminal record.
She was so angry!
When the topic of Rong's military industry came up, Lu Kai immediately thought of Rong Changqing and asked cautiously, "Qianqian, does Second Young Master Rong know about your divorce?"
Lu Qianqian glanced at him and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with him."
Does she not know what Lu Kai is planning?
Xu Rushi raised her voice, sneering, "How could she possibly have a relationship with the Second Young Master? What happened last time was just a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian simply drank her water quietly without saying anything.
Liao Jie swept her sharp gaze over Lu Qianqian and said fiercely, "Kneel down!"
puff-
Lu Qianqian spat out a mouthful of tea. What was this all about?
