After the farce ended, Zhang Yumei gave Xu Hongxia a thumbs up: "Well done. From now on, whenever you see your classmate, you should do the same."

Xu Hongxia proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest: "That's right, I've grown up now, and I'll never be fooled by her again."

"Hold on, let's go, we should head back too."

......

After Huang Qinqin and the others arrived home, Xu Hongxia stood in the yard and vividly recounted her heroic deeds of the day.

Huang Qinqin also showed her support, immediately clapping after hearing the performance. Then she said, "Hongxia is amazing! Here's what we'll do, your sister-in-law will give you a gift as a reward."

"What gift?"

Xu Hongxia's eyes lit up when she heard there was a gift. She looked at Huang Qinqin with anticipation.

"Wait here for me, I'll go back to my room and get it for you."

After a while, Huang Qinqin came out of the room, but she didn't seem to have anything extra in her hands.

However, when Huang Qinqin got closer, Xu Hongxia saw clearly that she was holding a fountain pen.

"A fountain pen! Did my sister-in-law give this to me?!"

Xu Hongxia looked at the brand-new fountain pen in front of her with surprise. She also had a fountain pen, but her current one was old.

It was a pen Xu Weiguo had used before, and he gave it to her after buying a new one. She hadn't used a new fountain pen before.

Huang Qinqin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's for you. Do you like it?"

"I love it! Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Whatever you like is fine."

Because they had packed their lunch at the food factory, they had already finished eating. After Xu Junhui and the others washed their lunchboxes, they went back to their rooms to prepare for their afternoon nap.

Xu Junhui handed a piece of paper to Huang Qinqin: "Honey, these are some common packaging options and prices used in food factories."

"You found out so quickly?"

As Huang Qinqin looked at the bottles, she was impressed by Xu Junhui's speed. She noticed that the packaging of the bottles and jars wasn't expensive.

Plastic bottles cost 2 cents each, glass bottles cost 3 cents each, and ceramic bottles also cost 2 cents each.

No wonder Manager Gao reacted so strongly when she priced the bamboo cups at 5 cents each.

Huang Qinqin only belatedly realized that she felt a little guilty. But she wasn't worried; after all, the money would come from the consumer, and the department store wouldn't lose money.

After looking at several packaging options, Huang Qinqin felt that glass bottles were more suitable.

Plastic bottles are too small, and ceramic bottles are opaque. Only glass bottles are suitable; they're the right size and can probably hold about half a pound of pickled vegetables.

Moreover, it's transparent, so even if there's a label on one side, you can still see what's inside.

Huang Qinqin glanced at it; the paper even clearly stated that the packaging was purchased from a daily chemical factory, and what documents were needed to purchase this packaging from the factory.

"Thank you, Junhui, you really helped me a lot!"

Huang Qinqin felt once again that she had truly married the right person.

She herself hadn't expected that she would have to ask again where she could buy it and what information she needed.

But Xu Junhui had thought of something for her, which really saved her from taking many detours.

Xu Junhui wasn't quite satisfied with just a verbal thank you. He put his arm around her and asked, "Is that all? Is there no other way to say thank you?"

Huang Qinqin looked at him amusedly: "So what kind of gesture do you want?"

Xu Junhui gazed intently at Huang Qinqin's lips without speaking. But his intention was clear.

Huang Qinqin pretended not to understand: "Why are you looking at me like that? Tell me what kind of thanks you want?"

Seeing that his wife wasn't cooperating at all, Xu Junhui decided to take matters into his own hands. He bent down and put his arm around her waist.

Mmm, mmm

The rest is up to your imagination; the author didn't write anything.

......

Xu Weiguo originally planned to go see Fang Hui in the morning, but a case came up unexpectedly, so he couldn't go.

Once he got to work in the afternoon and made sure he had nothing to do, he set off to find Fang Hui.

Fang Hui had been waiting for Xu Weiguo to arrive since early this morning, and even told his colleagues outside that if Xu Weiguo came, they should take him to the office.

After waiting all morning, I was met with nothing.

Fang Hui had already planned that if Xu didn't come over in the afternoon, he would go to the Xu family's house again after get off work.

However, it seems he doesn't need to make the trip anymore, as Xiao Mo has already brought Xu Weiguo over.

Upon seeing Xu Weiguo, Fang Hui joked, "It's really not easy to see Deputy Director Xu. I was even prepared to go directly to you."

"I had something to do this morning, so I came over as soon as I had some free time this afternoon."

After closing the door, Xu Weiguo asked, "I'll close the door for a bit, you don't mind, do you?"

Fang Hui raised an eyebrow: "You've already closed it. If I said I minded, would you open it again?"

Xu Weiguo replied to the message immediately after reading it: "Okay, as long as you don't mind."

Xu Weiguo walked up to Fang Hui and sat down facing him. Then he pondered how best to start the conversation.

Fang Hui originally planned to wait for Xu Weiguo to speak first, but good heavens, the two of them just stared at each other for almost ten minutes.

Fang Hui conceded defeat: "Um, I wonder what you've thought about my suggestion from last time?"

Fine, since he's the one asking for a favor, it's no big deal for him to ask first.

The main reason is that Fang Huai's holiday is about to end, and Song Mincheng is about to go to the countryside, so they don't have much time left.

Xu Weiguo replied reservedly, "We have discussed it and we can agree to your request."

Before Fang Hui could even feel happy, Xu Weiguo added, "But..."

Upon hearing the word "but," Fang Hui knew that things weren't that simple.

Xu Weiguo said seriously, "But we also have something we need your help with, Director Fang."

"If you agree, we'll talk to the people in Huangjia Village and ask them to help take care of your old boss. What do you say?"

Fang Hui dared not agree directly, as he still did not know what they wanted him to do.

"Tell me what it is first, I can't agree to everything."

Xu Weiguo expressed his understanding, and then said, "I discovered that Xu Weimin's family has a lot of business with people on the black market, and they may be privately raising livestock in Xujia Village."

"I hope you can work with me to find evidence of their deal."

Fang Hui picked at his ears, wondering if he was still half asleep.

He wasn't shocked that Xu Weimin had dealings with people in the black market, or that they had private farms.

He was shocked: "If I remember correctly, Xu Weimin should be your brother, right?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? You want me to team up with you to take down Xu Weimin???"
