The old clan chief picked up his phone and saw that it was Ming Xiang calling. His smug expression grew even more pronounced.

He chuckled and pointed to his phone, saying, "It's Mingxiang calling."

Mingxiang's parents had just seen the old clan chief off; they hadn't parted ways yet.

Now, upon hearing this, the couple became nervous again.

However, the old clan chief chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be nervous, just don't forget our agreement."

The couple nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying, "We understand, we understand, it won't happen."

The old clan chief then said, "You should go back now. I'll take care of your daughter's matter."

Actually, the two of them originally intended to wait at the door and eavesdrop.

But the old clan chief's words effectively silenced the couple.

The two could only give an awkward smile: "Okay, okay!"

After saying that, they got up and went inside.

The old clan chief then coughed and answered the phone.

"Mingxiang, did things not work out? Hehe, I told you long ago that Lu Zheng is unreliable. See, I wouldn't hurt you, right? You have to believe me."

Mingxiang almost burst out laughing as she listened to the old clan chief's lewd thoughts.

But he forced back his laughter, coughed lightly, and then said to the old patriarch, "Old patriarch, it is like this, all employees of Lu's Business Company unconditionally support Lu Zheng."

"No need for the old clan chief to worry about that. I'm calling to say that we've already drafted a cooperation agreement with Mingjia Village, and I'll be acting as an intermediary to witness the signing of this agreement."

"What?"

The old clan chief roared.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "The people of Lu's Trading Company unconditionally accepted Lu Zheng's cooperation this time?"

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Hearing the old clan chief's astonished words, Ming Xiang chuckled and said, "I was surprised too. I thought Lu Zheng might have to propose a lot of rules and regulations to persuade the shareholders who were unwilling to cooperate."

"However, he really impressed everyone. When he proposed to cooperate with Mingjia Village without presenting a specific cooperation plan, and simply said that he wanted to buy all the qualified products produced by Mingjia Village during this period, the entire board of directors agreed without asking any questions."

Mingxiang didn't really need to explain so much to the old clan chief.

But she's doing this on purpose.

She knew how the old clan chief would react to these words.

Just as Mingxiang had predicted, the old patriarch was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and his old face was twitching, which was quite funny.

After Mingxiang hung up the phone, his two sons were still stunned.

After swallowing hard, his eldest son finally spoke first, asking, "Dad... what's wrong?"

"You bastard Lu Zheng, go to hell!"

After roaring, he was so enraged that he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

It was his second son who reacted quickly and caught him.

However, once he recovered, the old patriarch clenched his fists tightly. Although he felt a tightness in his chest, he still had to sign the contract.

Otherwise, Mingjia Village would have already suffered a day's losses.

If they finalize this contract sooner, they can get the product into Lu Zheng's hands.

hehe……

Also, it doesn't matter. Don't Lu Zheng's men trust him? Then just wait and see what happens when the goods pile up in Lu Zheng's hands and he can't get them out.

The old clan chief's eldest son rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, hehe, I have an idea."

The old patriarch gasped for breath, and after hearing his son's words, he turned to look at him: "What?"

His eldest son said, "Isn't Lu Zheng trying to hoard goods and make money off my Mingjia Village? If the goods we give them are all defective or unusable... well... that would be interesting."

Defective products can damage one's reputation.

Previously, the villagers of Mingjia Village had to guarantee the reputation of their own companies, so they dared not make their products too inferior.

However, if we were to use Lu Zheng's Lu's Trading Company as the company name now, it would ultimately harm Lu's Trading Company's business.

Moreover, shoddy workmanship allows them to double their production speed, soaring from three million units a day to four or five million, or even more.

In that case, wouldn't defeating Lu Zheng be a piece of cake?

"idiot!"

Unexpectedly, his eldest son had barely finished speaking when he was harshly reprimanded.

This startled his eldest son, who was being scolded.

"Dad, why...why are you scolding me? Isn't this plan perfect?"

"Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten what Lu Zheng said to us in front of Grandpa Mingxiang? What did Lu Zheng say? He said that he would guarantee the quality of the products, and if the products were not up to standard, they would not accept them."

"You want to kill Mingjia Village? I, the old clan chief, am not that muddle-headed."

Unexpectedly, his second son immediately added, "Dad, actually, what my eldest brother said is right. Think about it, with a daily shipment of three million, and the goods we produce include food, toys, and clothes, they can't possibly inspect every single item every day."

“That’s right, Dad. Besides, when Lu’s Trading Company’s cash flow becomes uncontrollable due to product blockage, we can take this opportunity to give them another blow.”

"Oh? How about finishing him off?" The old clan chief was now intrigued.

His eldest son immediately said, "We can say that Lu's Trading Company has not cooperated with us, and we do not recognize their products at all. We can use this as an excuse to sue them and make more money!"

The two sons whispered among themselves, while the old clan chief remained silent.

Indeed, just as they said, this is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The matter between him and Lu Zheng now is not just about Mingjia Village being driven to the brink of despair, but also about his reputation.

He has to win back his pride.

The most satisfying thing would be to take revenge on Lu Zheng and make him see the feeling of having the ability to change things but ultimately losing everything.

However, he had just said that his two sons' ideas were a bit foolish, so if he turned around and agreed with them, then he would be the fool.

So after coughing, he said, "I'll think about it. Let's go sign the contract with him today. At least this way, our Mingjia Village won't have made a wasted effort."

These two don't know what he's thinking?

So he chuckled and said, "Okay, Dad, shall we go home first and then go find him?"

The old clan chief nodded: "Yes, go home and tidy up, look your best."
