Old Chen and the other two shook hands with Wang Peng and left the office with satisfaction.

Wang Peng watched their retreating figures and grinned.

Hu Qing massaged his shoulders and asked softly, "Are you tired?"

Wang Peng shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'm not physically tired, but mentally exhausted."

Thinking of Wang Cheng, a cold smile crept onto his lips. Wang Cheng losing the Brilliant flagship store was like a fish losing its bicycle.

The Brilliant flagship store had long been on the verge of collapse, and the Brilliant board of directors had wanted to sell it for a long time.

However, this deal boosted morale.

Recalling the humiliation he had suffered at Huihuang in the past, Wang Peng was in a great mood.

Hu Qing smiled and said softly, "Back then, you were just a college student who ran a tobacco and liquor store, as weak as an ant."

Wang Peng immediately recalled when he first came to the provincial capital.

Hu Qing added, "Back then, Brilliant was a behemoth; I never imagined you would dare to go against Huang Ran."

When her ex-husband Huang Ran was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I was really blind before, meeting two men who were worse than pigs and dogs in a row."

Wang Peng frowned, recalling Huang Hao's first act of setting fire to Brothers' tobacco and liquor store.

It was because of Huang Hao that he became sworn enemies with Huang Ran.

"Sister Qing, is Huang Hao still in jail?" Wang Peng pulled Hu Qing's hand and made her sit next to him.

"Wait five more years, and he'll be out. I'll deal with him for you then." Hu Qing curled her lips into a smirk, a murderous glint in her eyes.

"Oh? He still hates me that much?" Wang Peng asked.

Hu Qing nodded and said softly, "He had a terrible time inside, and the person he hated most was you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Peng fell into deep thought.

Huang Hao was a desperate criminal, and Wang Peng was worried that he would be misled and continue to cause trouble for him after he was released.

Brothers Supermarket has already been burned down twice. If it gets burned down again, that would be a real disaster.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from downstairs, growing louder and louder with each passing wave.

Hu Qing immediately went to the window, opened the curtains, looked down, and said with a smile, "Peng, come and see!"

Wang Peng walked to the window and saw a lot of people surrounding a black car.

He saw Old Chen who had just left and asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

Hu Qing said with a smile, "Old Chen must have told them the news, and they're cheering."

At this moment, a pregnant woman got out of the car; it was Wang Peng's wife, Li Mingzhu.

Wang Peng immediately tensed up and turned to go downstairs.

"Don't worry." Hu Qing took his hand and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, they definitely won't hurt Mingzhu."

"Boss lady, you're here?"

"The boss just agreed to let us participate in the onboarding training. Thank you, boss lady."

"Sister Mingzhu, you're definitely going to have a son, right? He'll be rich and powerful..."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, showering him with flattery.

Several security guards rushed out of the Brothers Supermarket and surrounded Li Mingzhu.

Li Mingzhu, a woman who had seen her share of big occasions, smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are long-time employees of Huihuang, aren't you?"

Old Chen hurriedly replied, "Yes, ma'am, we have to thank you."

Li Mingzhu suddenly looked up, waved to the window upstairs, and said, "Boss, come down and get me."

"Okay," Wang Peng waved and shouted.

He came downstairs, and the security guards immediately made way for him and Li Mingzhu.

Wang Peng, holding his wife's hand, looked at Old Chen and asked in confusion, "You contacted my wife before you contacted me?"

Old Chen blushed, scratched his head, and said awkwardly, "Um."

Li Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "Honey, they contacted me a long time ago. I told them to come find you."

Old Chen said softly, "Boss, everyone knows that it's because the boss's wife has a good temper that everyone dares to contact him."

Laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.

Wang Peng glared at Lao Chen and pressed, "You mean I have a bad temper?"

"No, no," Old Chen hurriedly waved his hands and said urgently, "That's not what I meant, I just..."

He was so frustrated that his face turned red and he was speechless.

"Haha." Wang Peng laughed and said, "You can all go back now. Remember to submit your resumes and attend the onboarding training."

"Alright! Everyone go back and prepare properly," Old Chen shouted to the crowd.

People responded enthusiastically and made way for Wang Peng.

Wang Peng helped Li Mingzhu into the supermarket and led her to the general manager's office on the fourth floor.

"Mingzhu, have you burned incense?" Hu Qing helped her sit down.

"It's burned down! Good heavens, the Guandi Temple is packed with people, we almost couldn't get in." Li Mingzhu said.

"It's very effective there." Hu Qing served her tea, smiling and talking to her, as if she wanted a maid to serve her.

After finishing her tea, Li Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Honey, are you planning to accept everything?"

Wang Peng was taken aback, then nodded and said, "The Huihuang flagship store needs a lot of manpower, and these veteran employees can be used."

"Honey, what do you think?" Wang Peng asked her in return.

"Yes, that's what I meant too." Li Mingzhu yawned and casually picked up her teacup.

"Sister Mingzhu, boss, I'll go check out store number two first." Hu Qing said goodbye and turned to leave the office.

Wang Peng opened the drawer and took out the contract for acquiring the Huihuang flagship store.

"Honey, look how big our business is growing! Aren't you happy?"

Li Mingzhu carefully reviewed the acquisition contract from beginning to end and nodded in satisfaction.

She blinked and asked softly, "Honey, have you had a good time these past two days?"

Wang Peng immediately shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not happy at all. How can I be happy when you're not by my side?"

Li Mingzhu chuckled, rolled her eyes at him, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't mind."

She was referring to the ambiguous relationship between Wang Peng and Hu Qing.

Wang Peng felt a little embarrassed. His wife's thought process was different from others. She not only allowed her husband to have a private life, but also teased him.

He sat down next to Li Mingzhu, leaned over to listen to her stomach, and asked softly, "Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Li Mingzhu stroked his head and said, "We just had a check-up, and the child is perfectly healthy."

Wang Peng listened carefully, when suddenly his son kicked him twice, making him laugh out loud.

Li Mingzhu gently stroked her belly, her face radiating maternal warmth.

The two sat together, heads close together, and began to whisper.

Li Mingzhu told him about her trip to the Guandi Temple to burn incense, and she spoke with great interest.

Wang Peng listened to her talk and brought her water from time to time.

Finally, Li Mingzhu asked softly, "Husband, do you know what I wished for when I prayed to Guan Yu?"

Seeing the light in her eyes, Wang Peng thought carefully, "May our son grow up healthy and inherit our family fortune in the future?"

Li Mingzhu gave him a thumbs up and said, "My husband is so smart, keep guessing."

"Um..." Wang Peng thought for a moment and said, "May your work become a nationwide sensation, may I live to be a hundred, and may we grow old together."

Li Mingzhu was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "Honey, you really know me inside and out, you got them all right."

Wang Peng scratched his head. These are the kinds of things people pray to, it's not hard to guess.

Li Mingzhu blinked and said with a smile, "Here's a reward for you: take me on a trip to England."

Wang Peng was stunned and spat out a mouthful of tea.
