The atmosphere in the competitor's meeting room was solemn.
"What? Not only did they not lower the price, they raised it instead? Are they crazy?" a man in a suit asked in disbelief.
The other man also frowned. "What on earth is this Lu family's wife up to? Aren't they afraid of losing everything?"
Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi were busy as hell.
They improve production processes, strictly control quality, and strive for excellence.
Lu Qing ran around the nearby towns looking for the best raw materials.
Shen Qiqi devoted herself to product design and continuously improved the appearance and functions of the products.
They were like two tireless machines, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to this "battle".
"Qiqi, look!" Lu Qing excitedly took out a beautifully packaged product and handed it to Shen Qiqi, "This is our latest product, what do you think?"
Shen Qiqi took the product, looked at it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Perfect!" she exclaimed. "Lu Qing, we..." Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door...
“Qiqi, guess what?” Uncle Wang’s excited voice came from outside the door, but before Shen Qiqi could respond, the door was pushed open.
"Our products have been officially certified as high-quality products!" Uncle Wang's face was flushed, and he was waving a bright red certificate in his hand, as if waving a flag of victory.
The surprise hit Shen Qiqi like an electric current, making her stunned for a moment.
The next second, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face like a flower, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with uncontrollable joy.
She snatched the certificate and examined it carefully, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
A sense of pride surged in her heart like a tide, and she felt as if she was walking on clouds, light and airy.
Lu Qing stood aside, looking at her lovingly, his eyes so gentle that they could squeeze water out of her.
The news spread throughout the village as quickly as if it had wings.
The villagers who had been frowning before instantly changed their expressions to ones of amazement. An atmosphere of excitement spread throughout the village, which was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
"Is this true? Has our stuff been officially certified?"
"That's right! Uncle Wang said it himself, how could it be false?"
"That's good, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell it!"
"The Lu family's daughter-in-law is truly amazing! She has brought honor to our village!"
The villagers flocked to the Lu family, talking incessantly, with joyful smiles on their faces.
The customers who had previously left, like bees that had smelled a fragrance, buzzed back and brought in more new customers.
Orders came in like snowflakes, and Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi were busy as hell, but their hearts were filled with a sweet burden.
In the evening, after a busy day of work, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the yard hugging each other, looking at the starry sky and feeling the gentle breeze brushing their cheeks.
"Lu Qing, we succeeded!" Shen Qiqi's voice was choked with sobs, and tears glistened in her eyes.
Lu Qing hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Yes, we succeeded. Qiqi, you are awesome!"
Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked into Lu Qing's deep eyes, her heart filled with happiness and emotion.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the cheek...
Lu Qing's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he tightened his arms around Shen Qiqi, "Qiqi..."
Lu Qing's voice was low and magnetic, like the stirring evening breeze on a summer night, gently brushing past Shen Qiqi's ears.
"Qiqi, do you know? The thing I'm most proud of is marrying you." His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, so affectionate that it seemed to drown people.
Shen Qiqi only felt a heat spreading from her ears to her cheeks in an instant, like a roasted shrimp, bright red.
She lowered her eyes shyly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently like two small fans.
There was a sweet atmosphere in the air, as if sugar was added, so sweet that it was sickening.
"Slippery tongue!" Shen Qiqi sneered, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
She felt her heart beating like a deer, pounding, as if it was about to jump out at any second.
Lu Qing looked at her shy appearance, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms.
The love between the two flows freely in the air, like a silent love song, lingering and sad.
However, just as they were immersed in the sweet atmosphere, a sudden question hit their hearts like a huge rock.
The joy of celebration had not yet completely faded when the production line of the industrial base had to stop due to a new technical bottleneck.
The roar of the machines disappeared, replaced by dead silence.
"This...what is going on?" Shen Qiqi looked at the stagnant scene in front of her, her eyebrows furrowed.
She quickly walked up to the technician and asked, "Why did the production line stop?"
The technician's face was solemn, and he stammered, "Boss Shen, our technology has reached a bottleneck, and we can't break through it at the moment."
Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi's side, his expression also becoming gloomy.
"How could this happen? Wasn't it fine before?"
"We have tried our best, but..." The technician hesitated to speak, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Try your best?" Shen Qiqi sneered, with a sharp look in her eyes, "What I want is not my best effort, but the result!"
Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand and felt the coldness in her palm.
He knew that Shen Qiqi must be very anxious.
He patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, Qiqi, we will definitely find a solution."
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She raised her head and said, "I want to see how difficult this technical bottleneck is!"
The two looked at each other. They knew that the road ahead of them was still long and they would encounter more challenges.
“Lu Qing, you…” Shen Qiqi was about to say something, but she found that Lu Qing’s eyes were fixed on the industrial base in the distance, motionless.
