When the people who were supposed to pick up Su Su arrived, she didn't linger any longer and let her people help her leave.
"Wanqing, why did this woman follow you all the way from the capital to the southwest? Could it be that you have some other grudge against her?"
Watching Su Su leave, Jiang Jianguo asked Jiang Wanqing with some concern. Although he was a man, his intuition was no less than a woman's. His words were agreed upon by Xue He, who immediately echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, Wanqing, she was targeting you for no reason when she was in the capital, and now she's even followed you to the southwest. Who knows what dirty tricks she'll use!"
They were unaware of the situation here. Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran exchanged a glance and reached a tacit agreement not to explain too much to their parents for the time being, and to keep it brief.
"Dad, Mom, she... she's already married and moved to the southwest. Her husband and we have some past grievances, and with all the old and new things going on between them..."
Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and finished speaking lightly, but Jiang Jianguo and Xue He were so surprised that their mouths dropped open.
"My God! How could this happen? You guys... you must have suffered terribly these past few days!"
"It's alright, we've managed to handle it all." Jiang Wanqing forced a smile. "We'll talk about the rest when we get home. Mom and Dad, you take Nannan to my lounge and wait there. Cheng Ran and I will take you all home after we're done."
Nannan held Jiang Wanqing's hand, her eyes sparkling with worry.
"Mom, I didn't like that strange auntie from earlier. Will she come back?"
"It won't happen again, don't be afraid, little girl..." Jiang Wanqing rubbed her daughter's head.
"But when I look into her eyes, I feel like she wants to do something bad to us. Mom, you and Dad, be careful too. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Children always speak their minds, and encountering something like this so soon after arriving is bound to make them even more anxious and fearful. Jiang Wanqing gave Cheng Ran a wink.
"You stay here with your parents and daughter. There aren't many individual guests left. Yang Chang and I will come find you after we finish serving them."
Cheng Ran wanted to share the work pressure with her, but after thinking about it, he realized that the family was also very important, so he didn't want to distract her. He nodded and bent down to pick up his daughter.
"Okay, I'll take Nannan and Mom and Dad to rest first. Call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing waved to them, then turned and went back to the exhibition hall. Yang Chang was still receiving customers, so Jiang Wanqing went over to help serve the two of them. Soon, thanks to their persuasive skills, the customers bought the appliances they wanted and left happily.
"Phew...it's finally over. I'm exhausted after this day."
Yang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, casually sat down on the pile of boxes next to him, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. His hand was trembling; he was tired and hungry.
"You didn't eat lunch when I told you to. Who can you blame? You were firm yet wavering. Consider this a punishment for you. Don't let it happen again. This is the final warning!"
Although he worked very hard today, his initial attitude still displeased Jiang Wanqing. She needed to give him some instructions, otherwise how would she deal with the situation that followed?
"I'm sorry, Comrade Wanqing. I've reflected on my own problems, but... I still have a small question that I'm not sure if I should ask."
He made a gesture, looking a little embarrassed. Jiang Wanqing glanced at him. She was in a hurry to go and be with her family, but she thought that if she didn't explain things to him clearly, he might overthink things, which would backfire.
"Go ahead and ask."
"Well... I admit that we had good results today, but we can't keep serving walk-in customers like this every day. Walk-in customers don't come back, which means it's hard to get repeat customers. We can only rely on word-of-mouth referrals. If we can't sell our goods in the Southwest region, how long can we sustain this?"
"I really doubt how you can be so quick-witted." Jiang Wanqing frowned. "Can you be a little more confident? I'm capable of revitalizing Beixin. I have the ability to run my own factory well. Monopolizing the Southwest is enough. All those partners who bought Su Su's goods are stuck with them. Do you think they'll still have the opportunity to cooperate? It's only a matter of time before they come back to cooperate with us. Then we can raise the price and squeeze their profit margins. Just wait and see."
That's true, and Yang Chang felt a little more at ease. He opened his mouth, then closed it again.
"Do you have any other questions?" Jiang Wanqing asked in return.
No, that's all.
"If that's all, then I'll head back. You should pack up and go home to rest too. You've worked hard today. I won't renege on my promise of your share of the profits. Don't worry, you won't lose out."
Before leaving, Jiang Wanqing reassured Yang Chang, who chuckled and repeatedly agreed.
"Thank you, Comrade Wanqing. It's been worth it to get things done for you!"
She smiled slightly, turned around and went to the lounge to find Cheng Ran and the others. Hearing the cheerful laughter inside, she gently pushed the door open and went in.
The little girl had sharp eyes and spotted her immediately. She pounced on her. The child had grown quite a bit, and Jiang Wanqing was exhausted today, so she almost fell to the ground when the little girl pounced on her.
"Mom, are you done with your work?"
"Okay, we're done with work, let's go home."
Just as Jiang Wanqing was about to pick up Nannan, Cheng Ran immediately took her from her.
"Let me do it. You must be very tired after you just finished."
“Yes, let Cheng Ran take care of the child, and you can take a good rest,” Jiang Jianguo said.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, let's go back."
"OK."
The family left the factory. As for tomorrow, Jiang Wanqing planned to use it for a post-mortem analysis. Firstly, it was for "hunger marketing," to let today's customers help spread their reputation. Secondly, it was to let everyone "compare prices," so that when they found that there were no cheaper goods than hers, customer loyalty would be stronger.
Although price wars are disgusting, they are the method with the lowest failure rate throughout history. Moreover, they allow customers to use the best appliances at the lowest prices, so why not!
Back home, Cheng Ran prepared a bath for her so she could have a good soak, while Jiang Jianguo and Xue He heated up and cooked for her so she could have a proper meal and replenish her energy.
While Jiang Wanqing was eating, her daughter, Nannan, sat beside her, propping her chin up and making small talk with her.
"Mom, that strange aunt talked to me today."
What did she say to you?
Upon hearing Nannan's words, Jiang Wanqing immediately tensed up. If Su Su plotted against her, she could simply play along. But if Su Su dared to target her daughter and family, she wouldn't have an easy time!
"This weird aunt said I look like her when I was little. Mom, isn't that strange? I wasn't born from her, and I don't even know her. What she's saying is... is... completely inexplicable!"
The child had just learned an idiom and was finally using it here. Jiang Wanqing put down her chopsticks and frowned.
"She really said that?"
“Yes, Grandpa and Grandma heard it too,” Nannan replied.
Just then, Jiang Jianguo and Xue He walked in, carrying soup, and responded with a word of agreement.
“Nannan didn’t lie.”
