Qi Fenglian's heart was pounding. Before leaving the factory, she had known from her friends that Chen Zhaodi had taken a leave of absence without pay.
Logically, after completing the leave of absence without pay, the next step is to go into business.
Judging from Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi's current appearance, they must be doing this.
Qi Fenglian then thought that there had never been any rumors in Shuangdong Hutong that the eldest and second daughters-in-law of the Chang family were running their own businesses. After a little thought, she realized that they were keeping it a secret from their family.
Qi Fenglian's lips curled into a wicked smile.
It's good to keep it a secret.
This way, she will have room to move around.
To confirm her theory, Qi Fenglian needed to consult with the merchants on the street; she needed to be well-prepared!
Qi Fenglian approached Wang Fengqin. She had just arrived on this street and had already crossed paths with Wang Fenglian; the two could talk to each other.
She also knew that Wang Fenglian was the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhou Hongyu's cousin.
When Qi Fenglian tried to get information out of her, she didn't reveal her connection with Zhou Hongyu. However, Wang Fengqin harbored resentment towards Zhou Hongyu for not inviting her family to help her buy such a nice shop, so she blurted out everything.
Wang Fengqin is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very shrewd.
If Qi Fenglian has ill intentions, that would be even better, as she could take her anger out on Zhou Hongyu for her, since she is too proud to retaliate against Zhou Hongyu due to her status.
Thus, in the back-and-forth conversation between the two scheming individuals, Qi Fenglian obtained conclusive evidence that Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi were running their own businesses!
Qi Fenglian recalled how she had fought fiercely with Liu Xiaomei at Granny Liu's house to compete for the store manager's position, and how she had to complain to her high and mighty second aunt, losing face and being trampled underfoot.
And just like that, Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi easily got their own shop!
Qi Fenglian definitely wouldn't let those two live comfortably!
The renovation of the new store is nearing completion. After several days of market research, Zhou Hongyu has been writing and drawing in her notebook.
The first batch of goods has been ordered and is on its way.
In a few days, Zhou Hongyu will have to make up for what she hadn't considered before and have Zhou Bing bring the goods back from Guangdong Province.
Before leaving, Chen Zhaodi carefully checked the shop inside and out one last time. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.
After closing the door and leaving the store, she told Zhou Hongyu about it.
Zhou Hongyu casually said, "Maybe our family found out about us opening a shop!"
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
Can you please stop talking so scary? You can scare people to death!
Seeing the rich expressions on her face, Zhou Hongyu smiled and realized she wasn't frightened at all.
However, even if people found out about her opening the shop, she didn't really care. She just didn't want to deal with her in-laws' nagging.
I'm not afraid.
She fears nothing in this world except her elderly mother!
Back home, the two immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The family is unusually complete!
Chang Hongbing, Chang Huaying...
The two sisters, Chang Shuying and Chang Laotou, had their pocket money taken away.
Old Man Chang stood imposingly facing the two people who had just entered the house, his eyes sharp.
Chen Zhaodi instinctively leaned closer to Zhou Hongyu, her body trembling: "We're doomed! Has what we were doing outside been discovered?!"
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes at her: "Judging from the situation, there's no need to say anything, it's wrapped!"
Old Man Chang, without getting straight to the point, pointed out a spot to the two who had just returned home, telling them to sit down next to him.
Left and right guardians.
Chen Zhaodi's face was filled with fear. Being separated from him, she was so scared that she kept clinging to Chang Hongbing.
Chang Hongbing straightened his back, thinking about how Chen Zhaodi had secretly caused such a big incident behind his back these past few days, and ignored her with a cold face.
Chang Huaying glanced at her mother worriedly and whispered, "Grandpa..."
"Huaying, if you say another word, I'll go out and call Shuying and her sister back!" Old Man Chang said in a deep voice.
Chang Huaying was worried about the situation here, so she kept quiet.
"Wait, I have something to say before we eat!"
As everyone's attention turned to her, Zhou Hongyu announced loudly, "I'd like to tell you all that my sister-in-law and I have opened a shop, which will officially open soon!"
Now that we know, let's speak frankly and openly.
Chen Zhaodi: No way! You're so smart, why did you admit it so readily!
Chen Zhaodi turned pale with fright, her lips trembling as she looked at Chang Hongbing beside her. She tried to explain, "Well, I... um..."
He stammered and couldn't say a word.
Faced with Zhou Hongyu's proactive attack, Old Man Chang, who was already furious, was at a loss for how to react.
Zhou Hongyu's actions make it seem like they're doing very well as self-employed individuals.
snort!
Old Chang silently took a few sips of wine to bolster his courage and put down his small wine cup.
He was all bark and no bite: "Why didn't you inform your family beforehand?"
Zhou Hongyu said matter-of-factly, "Because I was afraid you would worry. After all, opening a store costs a lot of money, and you can't afford it!"
Chen Zhaodi didn't dare to breathe: Zhou Hongyu, how dare you!
Old Man Chang, holding his breath, questioned, "Without your family's help, how were you able to open the shop?"
The reason why Granny Liu's family opened a shop was because of Liu Yujie, the second daughter of the Song family, who went from being a nobody to a rich lady.
These two sisters-in-law must have done something wrong to be able to open shops on the same street!
Zhou Hongyu bluntly stated, "We only see the thief eating meat, but we don't see the thief getting beaten. Which guy is it that spread rumors that we funded the store? Although that's not entirely wrong, we're just working for someone else."
"The shop was able to open entirely thanks to the help of my older brother and sister. We found a big boss through them, and the big boss provided the funding for us to open the shop. In the future, the big boss will take the lion's share of the profits, and we'll just get a piece of the pie!"
