Gu Wanwan knew He's mother's character without even having to guess. As the He family's status rose, the He family members became more and more arrogant. "Xu Jingyu wants to sell to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, or consign them."
Zhuang Tianman is from Beijing and is also the general manager of a department store. She is quite knowledgeable about things in Beijing's social circles and has naturally heard of the rumors that Gu Wanwan is the future daughter-in-law of the He family.
She should be very grateful to the He family for not marrying her, otherwise her Jingchen would be single, and her family would not have such good fortune.
"That's right. She caused losses to the factory. She didn't get a promotion. She finally climbed to that position. Isn't that ridiculous? She'll probably be a deputy factory director for life. She still has to pay for all that pickled vegetables herself. She lost a lot of money. I heard it's all thanks to her treacherous daughter. Now that batch of pickled vegetables can't be sold and will just rot in the He family's house."
“Now the He family has pickled vegetables with every meal. They can’t finish them themselves, so they give them to relatives and friends. People are tired of eating them. In the end, there is still a lot left. Xu Jingyu wanted her husband’s unit to take them, but the leaders refused. These days, how many military families in the family compound don’t make their own pickled vegetables? If they really can’t, the supply and marketing cooperative near the military base sells them, not to mention the surrounding villages. The key is that they are fresh, taste good, and are cheap. Only a fool would go to such lengths.”
"Moreover, the pickled vegetables sold by Xu Jingyu are indeed more expensive than those at the supply and marketing cooperative. Because they come from Northeast China, there are transportation costs to be added, which makes the price higher. She is really greedy for money and refuses to lower the price. Just to lose less money, who would buy from her? Moreover, when she comes to talk business, she always acts high and mighty, as if people owe her five million."
“She contacted me three days ago. I know her character, so I refused. She didn’t get angry, but she implied that she would use her connections to unite with other garment factories, shoe factories, etc. In the end, she even stopped supplying our department store with the three major items.”
“Xu Jingyu is a bad person. She threatens people when business deals fall through. Several factories have actually cut off supplies because of the He family’s power and influence. She deliberately put pressure on the higher-ups to get her fired. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative is also a relative of mine, and he was threatened as well. Fortunately, Wanwan, you came to my rescue.”
"Xu Jingyu is not a good mother-in-law candidate. She is too snobbish. She is known to the outside world as a filial daughter. Do you understand what a filial daughter is? She likes to help her own family."
“We are blessed people, we don’t need to go to other blessed families. Wanwan, don’t even mention clothes, even if you send me pickled vegetables, I’ll still help you sell them. We’re all family.”
Gu Wanwan raised an eyebrow and waved her hand, "Aunt, you've really come to the right person. I have multiple channels through special departments that can provide a stable supply. I supply goods to Shanghai. My shop has already opened inside the bureau. All my partners are government agencies. Whatever scarce goods you need, I can get them for you."
"That's great! Let's go sign the contract now." Zhuang Tianman, as if she had struck gold, led Gu Wanwan and her group into the office.
Upon hearing this, the manager next to him widened his eyes. As expected of a daughter of the Gu family, she had extensive connections and special channels. Gu Wanwan was not only a money god but also a big shot. There had been rumors before that Gu Wanwan was close to special departments, and others were half-believing, but now he believed it. "Shi Meihua, our department store can't afford to hire a big shot like you who treats people differently. Pack your things and get out."
The teller, who had been bullied before, felt extremely relieved.
Serves you right for being so arrogant and looking down on people. Now you've bitten off more than you can chew.
When Shi Meihua realized that even bringing up Shi Zhenxiang was no longer effective, her former arrogance was replaced by despair and frustration. She had finally made it through and was about to be promoted, but she ruined it all herself.
With the second branch of the Gu family struggling to survive, the Shi family, a family that favored sons over daughters, gradually descended into chaos. As the daughter of a cousin, once she lost her job, her only fate was to be married off by her family in exchange for dowry and benefits.
