While the others didn't notice Zhu Shiliang's expression and eyes, Shen Yanming did.
He raised an eyebrow, glanced at a few people in the direction Zhu Shiliang was looking, and saw that they were immersed in some kind of joy, completely unaware of the impending crisis. He could only sigh helplessly.
In truth, the changes in the others were related to him, but Shen Yanming was unwilling to take responsibility for it.
After all, it wasn't us who made them so greedy.
That's right, thanks to Yu Shui's gossipy and inquisitive nature, Shen Yanming already knows what these people have been up to lately.
To be honest, Shen Yanming really admired the people's ability to act; however, they became arrogant as they took too big a step.
Sigh, I brought this on myself.
Bi Qiaoan looked at the man beside her, who was frowning and sighing intermittently. After the crowd dispersed, she asked, "What happened to you just now?"
Shen Yanming shook his head and said in a breathy voice, "It's nothing, I just felt a little sorry that Ke Wenpei and the others are going to be in trouble."
Bi Qiaoan asked in confusion, "What did they do? And how do you know they're going to be in trouble?"
Shen Yanming looked up and saw that the four people had disappeared. He then whispered in Bi Qiaoan's ear, "When they first started, the four of them sold dried fruit at the reception area. Business was good, and they even bought some goods from Zeng Yiming once."
But later, the group wasn't satisfied. Whenever they saw a child coming by, they would stuff a few pieces into their hands. Naturally, the children couldn't resist the delicious treats, and if their parents refused to buy them, they would cry and whine and refuse to give in.
Ko Wen-pei not only did not stop it, but also encouraged it with his words.
The adults had no choice but to suppress their anger and replace the child's food with several pounds of dried fruit. The child was happy, but the parents couldn't swallow their anger.
It's said that quite a few people have sent letters of complaint to their superiors!
Bi Qiaoan's eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected these four people to pull such a stunt. She asked, "How did you find out about this?"
“Yu Shui said it!” Shen Yanming smiled. “There are no secrets in this world. They’re so blatant. People have been jealous for a while now, just waiting to find fault with them.”
Ironically, they seemed completely oblivious, not only failing to restrain themselves but becoming even more brazen.
"How so?"
"When they asked for dried fruit a second time, Zeng Yiming told them that he was out of stock and that he would not do this business anymore."
As a result, the group didn't believe it and said a lot of unpleasant things. In short, they thought Zeng Yiming was petty, couldn't stand seeing their business doing well, and was deliberately sabotaging them.
Zeng Yiming got angry and blocked Ke Wenpei's number. Then he called me and complained for a long time, feeling that his good intentions had been wasted.
Shen Yanming smiled and continued, "These guys are quite capable. They abandoned this line and used their connections to find a breeding farm, buying all the animal organs from that farm."
Then he and his wife made braised pork and offal, which they set up at the entrance of the community to attract customers.
You know, meat is much more tempting than dried fruit. Even adults can't resist the temptation, let alone children.
And so, they worked from dawn till dusk every day, and their income was naturally quite substantial. Those with surplus grain at home were fine with it, but those who were already struggling to make ends meet hated them to the core.
Bi Qiaoan clicked her tongue twice and said, "She really is hateful. If I were an ordinary person, I would definitely lose my composure."
"Yeah, that's why they're probably in trouble. Even though no one in our office has mentioned it, it's hard to say whether people don't know or just don't want to talk about it!"
Bi Qiaoan puffed out her cheeks. "This is so complicated. I feel like my brain can't handle it."
Shen Yanming raised his hand and rubbed Bi Qiaoan's head, saying, "It's okay, I'm enough!"
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming, but had to admit that he was smarter than her.
Looks like I'll have to eat more wisdom fruits from now on. I can't let my own IQ suffer as a burden on the next generation.
During lunch, Bi Qiaoan suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, why did Yu Shui only tell you?"
"Your reaction time is so long?" Shen Yanming affectionately pinched Bi Qiaoan's little nose and said, "It's easier for two grown men like us to communicate. Yu Shui can't possibly bypass me to chat with you, can she?"
Bi Qiaoan thought there was some truth to it, but she still asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"There's no need. Before the outcome is confirmed, the higher-ups might not pursue the matter further. After all, while what they did was unethical, it wasn't anything truly heinous."
You said I've been gossiping with you for so long, what if nothing happens in the end...?
“Then I’ll just treat it as listening to a story. Anyway, I’m bored every day,” Bi Qiaoan interrupted.
"Okay, I'll tell you all the gossip around us from now on, just to keep you company and relieve your boredom."
"Yes, that's how it should be!"
"Alright, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and quickened her pace of eating.
After the two finished eating, cleaned up their dishes, and were preparing for their afternoon nap, Michelle came over.
"Shen Yanming, I'm getting married!"
Shen Yanming looked up with a puzzled expression, thinking, "What does your getting married have to do with me?"
Michelle noticed that the other person's face showed no reluctance, regret, or sadness, only utter confusion.
A bitter feeling welled up in her heart, but it strengthened her resolve to marry someone.
Seeing everyone looking at her with interest, she said with a bitter smile, "We need to set out some fruit platters at the wedding banquet. Do you have any nuts or dried fruit to sell me?"
Shen Yanming's eyes lit up. Marriage is great! Once you're married, you won't have to keep popping up and causing trouble every now and then!
He smiled and said, "Congratulations! I wish you a happy marriage and a long and happy life together!"
However, I don't run a dried fruit business; the dried fruit I keep at home is for my wife to supplement her nutrition.
Of course, as your colleague, I will give you ten pounds of dried fruit as a wedding gift.
Shen Yanming thought to himself that, in the present day, ten catties of dried fruit should be considered a generous gift! However, as long as he could keep this woman far away from him in the future, he would be willing to give her twenty catties.
Michelle felt a pang of sadness; she hadn't expected the other person to be so happy about her marriage.
Thinking about her recent experiences, she really didn't know if getting married so hastily was a good thing.
But now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to accept it.
Michelle sat back down, trying to convince herself that this marriage was something she had worked so hard to achieve. Her partner was tall, handsome, and rich, perfectly meeting all her criteria for a partner. What more could she ask for?
Moreover, she received a betrothal gift worth tens of millions, which was the first among the Mi family's relatives and friends, enough for her to boast about for a lifetime.
Thinking of this, a sweet smile finally appeared on Michelle's face.
