Suddenly, a loud noise broke the quiet atmosphere. Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the door at the same time.
The people who were eating opened their eyes wide, their mouths wide open, and the chopsticks in their hands stopped involuntarily.
They stared blankly at the uninvited guests, their hearts filled with confusion and fear. For a moment, the whole room fell into a deathly silence, with only the heavy footsteps echoing in the air.
Director Liu, the host of this dinner, saw someone suddenly intrude and his face instantly darkened. He walked forward quickly, his eyes cold and stern, staring intently at these uninvited guests.
He demanded in a harsh tone, "Who are you? This is our private room. How can we allow you to barge in? Get out of here now! Or I'll call for help!"
His voice was filled with anger and impatience, loud as a bell, as if he wanted to intimidate the other party.
Just as he was about to push the person out, he saw a man holding the door with his hands.
Immediately afterwards, another group of people came in. The police were in the front and they escorted several people into the house.
When Director Liu saw that it was his son Liu Ermao, he was dumbfounded.
A police officer asked, "Director Liu, do you know this person?"
Factory Manager Liu was embarrassed, thinking, "Nonsense! How could I not recognize my own son? What has this son of a bitch gotten himself into? He actually brought him here. Isn't this deliberately trying to sabotage me? With so many customers here, how can I save face?"
Director Liu, we have received a complaint stating that you used improper means to instigate your son Liu Ermao to steal seasoning packets and secret recipes from the Xiangshui Brigade Pickle Factory.
"I didn't! You are slandering me!" Director Liu stood up excitedly.
The police officer pointed at Shi Bulian and said, "This man is the one who helped your son Liu Ermao steal. He's already confessed. He broke into the factory late at night to steal the materials but failed. He then bribed the factory workers and replaced the real seasoning ingredients with fake ones, causing them serious financial losses. Who will bear the responsibility for these losses?"
Director Liu was speechless for a moment, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Liu Ermao shouted at him, "Dad, I didn't want to do this. You promised me a Phoenix brand bicycle if I could do it! But you haven't kept your promise yet. Now I'm arrested by the police."
When Director Liu heard what Liu Ermao said, he became angry and annoyed and glared at his son.
"You bastard, shut up! Are you going to cheat your father like this? When did I ever promise you?"
The staff member said sternly, "No matter what, your behavior is illegal and must be punished. Liu Ermao, Director Liu, please come with us."
When Director Liu heard this, his face turned pale.
The originally quiet and peaceful box suddenly erupted into a loud commotion! Everyone present was filled with shock and astonishment, their eyes fixed on the father and son.
They were whispering to each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and the whole scene became extremely chaotic and commotion.
Some people stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape, while others stood up and pointed...
One of the customers, named Tang, said, "Director Liu, I've been dealing with you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I won't dare to order from your factory anymore."
"Director Liu! Let me be fair. What you're doing is really dishonest! The quality of our products can't compare to theirs."
"You have to find a way to improve the process and enhance product quality! How could you have such shady intentions as to steal someone else's formula? This is a question of character and morality!"
The public security comrade said, "Director Liu, please stop standing here. Come with us."
Director Liu still didn't want to leave until the public security personnel issued a compulsory order.
He struggled and shouted, "I'm innocent... I can't leave. There are hundreds of people in the factory who are waiting for my salary. If I leave, all the workers in our factory will be unemployed."
"Don't get excited. Come with us to the police station first and give your statement... If you're truly wronged, we'll investigate thoroughly."
…
At this moment, the buyers who had been sitting quietly in the box were stunned to see Director Liu being taken away by the police! They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.
"Why was Director Liu arrested by the police?"
So, they stopped hesitating, stood up, started packing their things, and prepared to leave.
Some people hurried out of the box without even saying goodbye.
At this moment, Wang Xiaolan's eyes were shining with excitement, and she was secretly delighted in her heart.
"God is helping me!"
The gathering of so many potential customers was a golden opportunity for her to promote the high-quality products produced by her own factory.
She winked at Wang Xiaolin beside her.
Wang Xiaolin ran out quickly.
She slowly stood up, her eyes falling on the bottle of pickles on the table, and then picked it up.
"Hey everyone, this bottle of pickles comes from our factory! What do you think of the pickles and seasonings we produce?"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a confident and friendly tone, which made the buyers who were about to leave stop and turn around to look at the bottle of pickles in Wang Xiaolan's hand.
Everyone went to taste it.
One of them said, "The seasoning produced by your factory? It tastes really good."
"It tastes much better than what's produced by the county seasoning factory. I was just worried about not being able to find you guys."
At this time, Wang Xiaolin came in with a box of pickles and seasonings.
Wang Xiaolan pointed at Wang Xiaolin and said, "This is Director Wang from our Xiangshui Village Pickle Factory."
Wang Xiaolin took out some pickles from the box and said, "I'll give them to you to try."
Wang Xiaolan said, "This is our new product, Lao Gan Ma Homemade Sauce. It can be put in steamed buns or used in stir-fries. You can try it, it's guaranteed to be delicious."
When the people at the scene heard this, they immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and started tasting it.
“Good, delicious, very delicious.”
"How much did you bring? Can you bring some back for me first?"
"I'm sorry, we're delivering to a restaurant, so we only have one extra box. If you need it, go to Director Wang to register. Pay a small deposit, and we'll send someone to deliver it to your door."
"Your factory is too far away. It's inconvenient to go there to purchase goods. Can you set up a sales point in the county town?"
"Your suggestion is very good. We will set up a supply point in the county town. It will be convenient for everyone to come and purchase."
The buyers present all signed one-year contracts and brought all the customers of the county pickle factory over, which can be said to be a very fruitful result.
Wang Xiaolan and Director Wang had just reached the village entrance when they saw a man and a woman coming towards them.
