On the third day, seeing that Zhou Hongyu and her business was getting better and better, drawing away nearly 40% of the street's foot traffic, their business partners on the same street gradually sensed the danger.
Old Peng, whom I had met once before at the back gate of the garment factory, had a face ashen.
He gritted his teeth: "Who are those newcomers?"
Before Zhou Hongyu and her group arrived, Lao Peng and his gang were completely dominated by the Yang family father and daughter on the same street. However, this line of work was very profitable, and even a small portion of their income could make them rich.
Suddenly, another mountain loomed overhead, shattering the previously maintained situation and leaving them unable to even get a taste of their success. Old Peng and his group were furious as they watched their unsold goods go unsold.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents!
Peng Xiaomei volunteered: "Big brother, let me go and meet them. Anyway, I just came from my hometown, and not many people know about our relationship!"
"Wait, little sister, I was just being impatient. Please don't get involved. I suddenly remembered that I had met them once before!"
"Oh?" Peng Xiaomei looked curious, waiting for Lao Peng to explain in detail.
“During that time, my buddies and I went back to our hometown to pick up people. I went to the garment factory to pick up some goods and ran into them. They seemed to have strong connections at the factory, getting the best goods and cutting in line. Yang Yingzi was really embarrassed by them…”
"Big brother, are you saying they dared to embarrass Yang Yingzi!" Peng Xiaomei exclaimed in disbelief.
The Yang family father and daughter are renowned in this industry. Choosing styles, choosing locations... following behind the Yang family father and daughter is a sure way to make a profit. The father has a fierce look and is not easy to mess with. Although Yang Yingzi looks gentle and charming, she is actually a ruthless person with a deep mind.
However, something seems to have gone wrong with the Yang family father and daughter. Recently, their performance has been mediocre, and their style of doing things has lost its former wow factor.
Old Peng said in a deep voice, "Little sister, compared to us, the Yang family father and daughter definitely hate those newcomers more. We might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight, and wait for good news!"
Haha, Lao Peng hopes to reap the benefits then!
After thinking for a moment, Peng Xiaomei shook her head: "Big brother, sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight won't get us into trouble, but it's almost impossible for us to take things any further. I have a feeling that the good days for the Yang family father and daughter are over!"
Old Peng instantly realized something, his eyes gleaming: "Little sister, you mean..."
Peng Xiaomei flicked her sleeves and said domineeringly, "I'll take some people to investigate them. Humph! Didn't Yang Yingzi call me a country bumpkin? I'll wait and see if she can still be so arrogant after she's defeated!"
These days, the thoughts and ideas of his colleagues on the street are exactly the same as those of Lao Peng.
No one was as bold and radical as Peng Xiaomei. They only hoped that the Yang family father and daughter could drive away the new group of people and restore peace to everyone.
As for the Yang family father and daughter, who were the focus of everyone's attention, they didn't care at all what was happening on this street; they were busy with another important matter.
If this succeeds, they will all rise to prominence immediately, and who would care about staying in the store every day, smiling at customers just to earn a few hundred dollars in profit!
Both parties were satisfied with today's conversation, and Mr. Yang saw Mr. Zhang off to his car.
Back in her office, Yang Yingzi sat smugly in her leather executive chair.
"Dad, you've seen it too. As long as we win over Boss Zhang and become his number one supplier, we'll be able to sit back and count our money!"
Yang Yingzi stood up, her words suggesting a bright future for them.
Since Chang Rihui returned to school and abandoned them, business has been lukewarm. Yang Yingzi accidentally met the wealthy Boss Zhang at a dinner party and learned that Boss Zhang's company needed a long-term supplier.
Yang Yingzi took the initiative to approach them, offering generous prices and various discounts, which ultimately convinced Boss Zhang to abandon the suppliers whose company headquarters were far away in the south and choose to cooperate with them.
"Yingzi, isn't this a bit too risky? Why don't we ask Rihui about the situation..." Yang's father was timid and afraid of trouble.
"Him!" Yang Yingzi's anger flared.
“He has never treated us like family. Dad, look at this shop. If he were still in charge, would he allow us to invest heavily in this shop? He will only make us continue to set up a stall outside to save money, suffering from wind and rain. He will never truly care about us!”
Mr. Yang wanted to explain on Chang Rihui's behalf: "But Yingzi, before we met Rihui, we had a much harder time. It's only right that we save some money..."
"Don't mention him in front of me, he's a cold-hearted monster!" Yang Yingzi's love turned to hatred.
From the moment she developed a vague fondness for Chang Rihui because of his kindness towards her and her father, to the moment Chang Rihui suddenly abandoned everyone and returned to school, her hatred reached its peak.
The time they spent together was so wonderful, yet Chang Rihui left without a second thought, showing no regard for their feelings for each other. This was something Yang Yingzi could not forgive.
She once thought she held a place in Chang Rihui's heart, but in the end it was all for naught. How could the arrogant her accept such a reality? All that remained was hatred!
"Alright, you're smart, I'll do whatever you say!"
Mr. Yang sighed. The thing he relied on most in his life was having a daughter with a very deep mind. He relied on his daughter to get rid of poverty in middle age. He could only obey the decisions Yang Yingzi made.

Zhou Hongyu lay on a rocking chair she had bought from a flea market, eating lunch and leisurely directing her underlings to work diligently.
Chen Zhaodi glanced at it, full of resentment, but suppressed her anger and saw the customer off with a smile.
He then stormed off in a rage.
"Zhou Hongyu, you can't go too far as a boss!"
While others were too busy to eat lunch, she couldn't resist causing trouble even while eating her own lunch. She was really too naughty!
"Oh dear, if you want lunch, just tell me. Why are you throwing a tantrum? I'll take your place for a bit!" Zhou Hongyu revealed a cunning, fox-like smile.
Chen Zhaodi was furious.
I can still work. I can earn more money by selling more clothes. Who cares if you try to take my job?
"No need!"
He left with those words and stormed back to work, while Zhou Hongyu secretly chuckled behind his back.
Her boss is very considerate of her employees; it's just that the employees themselves don't need it!
A little while later, when it was lunchtime, there were far fewer pedestrians on the street. Chen Zhaodi and the Zhou siblings stopped to eat, while Zhou Hongyu idly tended the stall.
She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and vaguely saw a woman carrying a large bag of things walking towards her.
"Red Soldier's Wife, Prosperous Wife!"
Zhou Hongyu glanced at the large bag Liu Yuting was carrying, and smelling the aroma of food, she waved and called out, "Chen Zhaodi, someone has brought you food!"
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zhaodi, who had just been saying she was too tired to move, suddenly appeared next to Zhou Hongyu.
"Yuting! It's so kind of you to bring us food! You have a much better conscience than some people!"
Zhou Hongyu silently rolled her eyes. Chen Zhaodi must be getting too cocky. If she's not taught a lesson, she won't know how to speak properly!
