Lu Qing's frown relaxed a little, but he remained silent and walked out of the yard with a serious expression.

A trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in Shen Qiqi's heart, but she did not ask any more questions, but just followed Lu Qing silently.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qiqi asked softly, her tone full of concern.

Lu Qing looked back at her, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Shen Qiqi nodded, but felt even more uneasy.

She knew that Lu Qing's reaction must be related to the issue of retirement.

She took a deep breath and told herself not to give up easily.

Back in the yard, Shen Qiqi saw that the members of the Lu family were still busy.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle stood at the door of the warehouse with gloomy expressions.

Lu Qing's cousin was whispering on the side, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Shen Qiqi walked over and looked at them with a firm look.

"Everyone stop, I have something to say." Shen Qiqi's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

"Our product is ready to be launched on the market. This is an important opportunity, but I have also received some bad news. Several competitors have begun dumping products at low prices, trying to squeeze us out of the market." Shen Qiqi paused, observing everyone's reactions.

Sure enough, there was a slight murmur among the crowd.

The uncle's expression turned even uglier. He frowned and said, "Won't we lose money this way? I think we should just give up and find another way."

Second uncle also agreed: "Yes, we are already in financial difficulties and can't take any more risks."

Lu Qing's cousin sneered, "I knew this would never work. Let's make other plans."

Shen Qiqi's expression remained unchanged as she calmly analyzed, "I know there are risks in doing this, but if we give up now, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Fierce competition in the market is normal, and the key is that we must have a strategy to deal with it."

She paused, a determined glint in her eyes. "I've done some market analysis. Our products are of excellent quality, and we have unique advantages. Low prices can only attract customers in the short term. In the long run, quality is the key."

The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at each other, and Lu Qing's cousin stopped sneering and seemed to be thinking about Shen Qiqi's words.

"We will encounter difficulties, but as long as we unite as one, there will be no problems that we cannot overcome. Elderly care is our common responsibility and our common goal." Shen Qiqi's voice was full of strength. She clenched her fists and said firmly.

Old Mrs. Lu walked tremblingly to Shen Qiqi's side, smiled kindly and said, "Qiqi is right, we must have confidence and work hard together."

Shen Qiqi glanced at Mrs. Lu gratefully, and her faith became even stronger.

She took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone, "The competition in the market has begun, and we can't retreat. I'm going to the market to personally understand the situation and find a breakthrough point."

She turned and walked towards the door, taking a firm step.

At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly called her: "Qiqi, wait a moment."

Shen Qiqi stopped and turned to look at Lu Qing, only to see him..."

Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart, and she nodded. The two of them walked out of the yard side by side, facing the wind, and walked firmly towards the battlefield of the market.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing plunged into the bustling market.

Although it was the 1970s, the market in this small town was also very lively, with hawking and bargaining sounds one after another, just like a pot of boiling spicy hot pot.

Shen Qiqi's eyes were sharp as torches, and she quickly locked onto her target - the competitor's stall.

She picked up the other party's product and examined it carefully, clicking her tongue twice. "This quality? Is this it? Who are you trying to fool by putting it here?"

Lu Qing whispered in her ear: "Did you see anything?"

Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, pulled Lu Qing to her stall, picked up her own products, compared them and began to shout loudly: "Fellow villagers, fellow villagers! Come and have a look! Same price, different quality! Others' products are all show and no substance, but ours are genuine and we don't cheat you! Don't believe it? Look!" She picked up two pieces of cloth, pulled them hard, and the competitor's cloth tore, but her own product remained intact.

"This quality is amazing!"

The people around were immediately in an uproar and gathered around.

"That's true! The difference is too big!" "The fabrics from this shop look really strong!" For a while, Shen Qiqi's stall was packed with customers, while her competitor's stall was deserted.

The competitor was furious and rushed over to argue: "You are engaging in malicious competition!"

Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry. She pointed at the products on her stall and said loudly: "I'm comparing products so that everyone can open their eyes! What, you can't afford to lose?" Her actions directly silenced the other party, and he walked away in disgrace.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi with admiration in his eyes, and hugged her into his arms: "Qiqi, you are so amazing!" Shen Qiqi leaned on Lu Qing's warm chest, and a warm current surged in her heart.

When they returned to the Lu family, the joyful atmosphere infected everyone. Even the uncles who had been frowning before showed a long-lost smile.

Mrs. Lu even took Shen Qiqi's hand and praised her repeatedly: "Qiqi, you are really the lucky star of our Lu family!"

Late at night, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing sat side by side in the yard, looking up at the starry sky.

Shen Qiqi suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Qing, smiling slyly: "Next, there are more exciting things to come..."

Shen Qiqi's products are completely popular in the market!
