Hu Ling's calm laughter drifted over.
"Hehe, what else? Sister Zheng, I advise you to behave yourself and not cause any trouble for me during this period, otherwise I won't help you next time."
"Oh, okay, okay, I won't do it again, Sister Hu, I won't do it again."
Hu Ling's phone call relieved Zheng Xiuxiu; at least it wasn't her husband, Wei Ming.
...
Chen Zhe was called to Hu Ling's office. He initially thought it was just a routine instruction, but what Hu Ling said shocked him.
"Chen Zhe, do you want to reopen the supermarket?"
Chen Zhe was quite shocked by this statement and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"
I dream about it!
After Chen Zhe realized what was happening, he replied.
"Hehe, just wishful thinking. Here are two hundred million. That should be enough to reopen the supermarket."
Hu Ling pushed a bank card over.
Chen Zhe's eyes lit up, and he was about to go and take it, but Hu Ling pressed down on the bank card.
"Sister Hu, what's this?"
"Don't rush me. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"yes."
“This money isn’t just for free. If you take this bank card, it means that this supermarket belongs to me, and I must have the largest share.”
Chen Zhe knew it wouldn't be that simple, but he could accept the condition, since it was a reasonable request.
"Of course, I'll do whatever Sister Hu says."
Hu Ling nodded, satisfied with his attitude, and then let go of his hand.
"Go down. You don't have to come to the club for the next few days. I'll give you a week to reopen the supermarket."
Chen Zhe didn't leave. He asked with some concern, "Sister Hu, what about Wei Ming from Lifulai? What if they start another price war with me?"
Hu Ling smiled and said, "Since I asked you to drive it, you don't need to worry about that. Shen Xingang won't be involved this time."
Chen Zhe thought for a moment.
[Could it be that the plan to seduce Wei Meng has begun? Did she send others?]
Chen Zhe didn't ask directly. Since Hu Ling hadn't brought it up, he pretended not to know.
"Okay! I understand."
"Okay, go down."
...
After Chen Zhe left, he immediately called Wang De. Since the supermarket closed down, Wang De had been staying at home taking care of his daughter and occasionally driving a taxi to relieve his boredom.
Upon hearing that Chen Zhe was going to reopen the supermarket, he shouted excitedly.
His agitated state startled the passengers behind him.
"How can you drive like that? What if you cause an accident?"
"Shut your mouth, I'm not seeing you off. Get off here now!"
Wang De parked the taxi on the side of the road.
His actions angered the passengers behind him. The young couple was on their way to a hotel, so what was the point of stopping on the side of the road?
"I'm going to file a complaint against you!!!"
The woman refused to get out of the car and picked up the phone to make a call.
"Go ahead and complain, get out of here right now, damn it! They've been kissing all the way here, I'm sick of it. If you're so eager, just do it on the side of the road, otherwise you'll get my car dirty!"
"What the hell are you saying? How dare you talk to a customer like that!"
"I told you you can complain all you want, I'm not doing this anymore, you can go wherever you want!"
"you!!!"
The woman was very angry, but the man didn't want to cause any trouble, so he pulled the cursing woman out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Wang De turned the car around and drove home.
He had only been gone for less than ten seconds when a multi-vehicle collision occurred ahead, with a dump truck crashing into a white car. The scene of the accident was horrific.
The couple who were standing by the roadside making a phone call were terrified.
"Holy crap! This is outrageous! Several people must have died!"
The woman's call had already been answered, but the man snatched her phone and hung up.
"Stop hitting us. If it weren't for that driver who dropped us off here, I think we'd both be dead..."
The woman nodded. Based on the timing, if they had driven over there, they would have definitely been run over by that big truck. They really escaped with their lives.
...
Wang De, who had already left, was unaware of what had happened and returned home in a cheerful mood, playing music.
After he got home, Xiaohua was already asleep, so he called each of the supermarket employees one by one.
The employees were thrilled to hear that the supermarket was reopening.
One or two people said it was no problem, and even those who had already found jobs said they could resign.
After all, Zhe Shangzhe was really good to everyone before, and now that such a company with such good benefits is going to rise again, it's a good thing.
...
The news of Zhe Shang Zhe's reopening spread like wildfire, and former customers of Zhe Shang Zhe spontaneously told each other about it.
During this period, only Lifestyle Supermarket has been dominant, and they have raised the prices of many items. Although some daily necessities can be bought online, you can't buy groceries online every day, can you?
The reopening of Zheshangzhe's business will only benefit them, and will not harm them.
Competition drives prices down; everyone knows that.
So on the day the supermarket reopened, it was packed with people, and there was no need for any advertising.
...
Wei Ming was furious when he heard the news that Zhe Shang had reopened.
The data theft issue hasn't been resolved yet, and now our arch-rival has opened for business again. Isn't this just adding insult to injury?
"President Wei, should we talk to President Shen? It's clear that Hu Ling is behind Zhe Shangzhe's business this time. We can't beat them on our own."
Wei Ming nodded, then called his brother-in-law, Shen Xingang.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingang didn't answer his calls at all. He called several times in a row, but was even blocked by the other party.
He was dumbfounded, sensing something was wrong, and called his sister Wei Meng again.
"Sis! You have to help me this time. Zhe Shang Zhe has reopened. It must be Hu Ling's idea. I just called my brother-in-law, but he's not answering. Without his help, I can't beat Hu Ling..."
Wei Meng didn't speak immediately on the other end of the phone; Wei Ming could only hear her breathing.
"Sis, what's wrong? Say something!"
Wei Meng sighed; "Ah Ming, you don't need to worry about this. Let them run it. I've talked to your brother-in-law, and he won't get involved."
"What??"
Wei Ming was shocked.
"Sis! You can't just stand by and watch me die! Without my husband's help, my supermarket would have gone out of business sooner or later!"
"Amin, let's leave it at that. Even if the supermarket goes out of business, you're still the vice president of Victory Group, aren't you? You won't go hungry."
"Sister!! How can you say such a thing? What promises did you make to Mom and Dad? You said you would help me if I needed anything. How much money do I make at Shengli Group? Lifulai is my life, you know that!"
Wei Ming was emotional, but Wei Meng still didn't agree to his request.
"Amin, I've indulged you many times before. Haven't I helped you enough? If it weren't for me, would you have become the vice president of Shengli Group?"
"Sis, what do you mean? Are you saying you're abandoning me?"
"I didn't say I'd abandon you. Anyway, this matter ends here. Don't go against Hu Ling. That's all I have to say. I'm hanging up now!"
"elder sister!!!"
Beep beep beep!
Wei Meng hung up the phone, and Wei Ming angrily threw his phone to the ground again.
"Damn it! Everyone's against me!!!"
"Mr. Wei, please calm down. How about I call Master Cai over?"
"Okay, call him right now!!! My supermarket absolutely cannot go out of business!"
"Okay, I'll start now!"
...
Linglong Club.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Meng looked at Hu Ling beside her and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"
Hu Ling smiled.
"Sister Meng, I'm doing this for your own good. No matter how close your brothers are, they can't be closer than your son, right? Your son is about to graduate from university, right? What you should be thinking about now is how to help your son get ahead. President Shen is obviously disloyal. His son with that mistress is already over two years old. President Shen has always been dissatisfied with your support for your brother Wei Ming. He backed down before, but if you push him again this time, he might divorce you. Then... your son will be in trouble."
Wei Meng took a deep breath and looked at the photo on the table. The photo showed a boy who was a little over two years old. Seeing that innocent face, she felt a surge of anger.
She initially thought her husband was just having an affair, but she never expected that he would have a child out of wedlock, which made the situation much more serious.
If Shen Xingang really divorces her and marries that bitch, will her son still be able to inherit the Shengli Group in the future?
It's difficult...
Wei Meng looked at Hu Ling with some dissatisfaction; "Everyone says that Sister Hu from Linglong Club is very shrewd, friendly, and righteous. Heh, now it seems that she is just a vicious woman who only knows how to threaten others."
Hu Ling was not angered by her words.
"Sister Meng, you've misunderstood me. I'm genuinely thinking of you, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to my Linglong Club, would I?"
"Heh, truly? If you truly cared about me, you wouldn't have forced me to give up my brother. You're only doing this for your own benefit!"
Hu Ling shook her head; "Then you're making a big mistake, Sister Meng. Think about it, if you continue to help your good-for-nothing brother, will things really turn out well for you and your son? I doubt it. Wei Mingzhi is talented but incompetent, and he's not good enough for anything. After dragging you down, he'll drag your son down too. I think it's better to cut ties with him now than to suffer a long, drawn-out pain. Wouldn't that be better?"
"I...I'm not as cold-blooded as you."
Wei Meng was clearly wavering.
"Hehe, Sister Meng, I know you value family, but you have to choose between your son and your brother. If you choose your brother, then it will be difficult for your son to inherit the Shengli Group in the future. I can tell you this right now: if you show any support for your brother this time, President Shen will definitely ask you for a divorce..."
"Our relationship isn't as fragile as you think..."
"Really? But last night, President Shen secretly brought people over from out of town. Didn't you know that?"
"What???"
Wei Meng was shocked. She couldn't believe that Shen Xingang would be so heartless to her. They had been married for over 20 years, and he would actually do this.
"If Sister Meng doesn't believe me, I can take you there to see it right now!"
...
2:30 p.m.
Outside a villa.
Two women were standing there.
In the courtyard of the villa, a young woman is playing with a two-year-old child in her arms; the child she is holding is the same one in the photo.
Standing at the door, Wei Meng clenched her fists tightly. She desperately wanted to rush in and tear that woman and that child to pieces, but reason told her she couldn't do that.
Doing so would hasten the end of her marriage with Shen Xingang.
"Sister Meng, now you know that what I said wasn't false, right?"
"Hu Ling, I promise you! Let's join forces and make Shen Xingang regret this!!!"
