Chapter 156: Brewing a Big Move
Nie Ting, who was in the middle of a conversation, was suddenly interrupted by a loudspeaker outside. "Everyone, come and take a look. Listen! Some bosses are deliberately asking me to slander their competitors to steal their business. Don't be fooled again!"
"Is this the person you are looking for?" Sister Bai's face turned pale after hearing these words.
"Qin Lan, what are you doing?" Nie Ting rushed outside and tried to let Qin Lan in.
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to remind everyone not to be scammed." Qin Lan ignored Nie Ting and continued speaking into the speaker: "Everyone, come and take a look. Black-hearted bosses will do anything to steal business."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you." Sister Bai followed him out of the store.
"I didn't mention anyone by name, why are you so anxious to identify yourself with me?" Qin Lan looked at Sister Bai calmly, thinking that she must be the owner of Youyou Paradise.
"Qin Lan, don't make things too ugly, otherwise you won't be able to clean up the situation later." Nie Ting's words contained a threat.
"Then let's all be unlucky together. I'm barefoot now anyway." Qin Lan thought of the two strong men at the entrance of Baby Paradise, and looked at Nie Ting with even deeper resentment. If it weren't for her, how could she have fallen to this point.
As soon as these words came out, Nie Ting was choked by her. Yes, she was barefoot now and was not afraid of those wearing shoes. She looked at Sister Bai next to her and asked in a low voice: "Sister Bai, what should we do now? She has already been sued by that parent, and now the Children's Fun Park has also sued her. She is probably angry now, so she wants to drag us into it." Nie Ting did not tell her that she had rejected Qin Lan yesterday. In her opinion, these should be solved by Sister Bai.
"Come and take a look, and listen," Qin Lan continued with the loudspeaker. Although she did not specify which store it was, she just stood straight at the door of the Youyou Paradise store, and did not forget to answer passers-by, telling them that she was Congcong's mother in the newspaper.
With these clues, what else could anyone not understand? Passersby looked at Sister Bai with disdain, and many people even complained, "Youyou Paradise may be better than Baby Paradise, but the game equipment and environment are really not up to par. Most importantly, the service attitude is terrible. I was curious before, the owner and employees of Baby Paradise are all very nice, so why did the newspaper say that the store was irresponsible? It turns out someone is deliberately causing trouble!"
"That's right. I used to think that Baby Park was not good, so I brought my children to Youyou Park. Fortunately, I didn't apply for a membership card." Someone said thankfully.
"This is too bad. We just want a comfortable place for children to play. Her business is not as good as others. She should look for her own reasons instead of trying to ruin other people's stores. Fortunately, I have never brought my children here to play."
More and more people gathered around them, and both Sister Bai and Nie Ting's expressions grew increasingly grim. Qin Lan felt pleased. It was clearly their idea, so why was she the only one suffering? If she was unlucky, they wouldn't be able to have an easy time either. Catching a glimpse of their panicked eyes, she raised her lips in satisfaction and continued to speak into the megaphone, attracting passersby. The street vendors who had originally chased after them to get their megaphones now joined in the crowd, watching the excitement.
"Qin Lan, let's go in and talk." Seeing that more and more people were watching the fun, Nie Ting frowned and looked at her.
"Why do you have to go in and tell me? Are you going to continue threatening me after you go in, or do you want me to do something else? Boss Bai, I beg you, please let me go. I have children at home waiting for me." In Qin Lan's opinion, if Sister Bai hadn't wanted to destroy Baby Paradise, there would not have been these subsequent events, and she would have honestly compensated Lele's family, so it was all their fault.
"I'm not the one suing you, so what does it have to do with me?" Sister Bai was furious. She was obviously putting herself in trouble.
"Sister Bai, you are so capable. You can even get people from the newspaper to interview me, and you can also get them to withdraw the lawsuit, right? Just help me?" Qin Lan knew that Sister Bai must have connections, but as for whether it would work, she had to give it a try.
"You're crazy. I don't understand what you're saying." Sister Bai turned around and walked inside. Nie Ting hurriedly followed her. Qin Lan was like a lunatic now, and she was afraid that she would be pestered by her.
Sister Bai planned to close the store immediately. Since Qin Lan was here today, she could not do business anymore. When the people who were shouting through the loudspeaker saw that they were about to leave, they hurriedly followed them. She was determined to follow them anyway.
"Why are you following me?" Sister Bai glared at her unhappily.
"I don't care. If you don't help me solve it, I will keep following you." Qin Lan looked at her with a rogue look on his face.
"Don't follow me, I have something to do." Sister Bai's tone was full of impatience. Qin Lan was simply sticky. Although she didn't cause any harm to herself, cutting her flesh with a soft knife was the most disgusting thing. No one knew what she would do next.

At school, Jiang Lili was being questioned by her roommates about her relationship with Lu Hongzhe. Dong Qiuyun said directly, "Don't say we're neighbors anymore."
"Apart from this relationship, there's really nothing else." Jiang Lili spread her hands towards them.
"I understand. It's just that you haven't broken through that layer of paper yet. Do you want us to lend you a hand?" Li Qian's face was full of understanding.
"What do you mean by a helping hand?" Jiang Lili was a little curious.
"There are so many male classmates chasing you in the school. We have always followed your previous instructions and didn't reveal anything. But now it's different. We have to make you feel a sense of crisis." Although Li Qian has never been in love, she still understands some routines thanks to novels.
"That's not necessary. The current situation is fine. As for the others, it's not appropriate now. Our two elders are very good friends, so some decisions must be made carefully." Jiang Lili explained the reason to them.
"Wouldn't it be better to just keep it a secret from your family?" Dong Qiuyun was a little puzzled.
Jiang Lili shook her head and said nothing. The relationship between her and Jiang Yulan, mother and daughter, was a little different, so she didn't want to hide it from her. Of course, on the other hand, she also enjoyed the current way of getting along, so some decisions didn't need to be made too hastily.
"Well, it seems we can't have this meal for the time being." Li Qian sighed in pretended disappointment, and others followed suit.
Jiang Lili couldn't help but laugh: "It's easy to eat, let's go to hot pot together on Friday night?"
"That's different. Forget it. Let's wait for Qiuyun. I think she's almost there." So the object of everyone's gossip soon became Dong Qiuyun.
The person being gossiped about was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Li Qian chuckled and asked, "Who did you talk on the phone with for an hour the other day?"
Seeing the others going to "besiege" Dong Qiuyun, a smile flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes. When she stood up to join, she received a call from Cheng Yuntian. She recounted what happened in front of Youyou Paradise today. Her laughter could be heard through the phone: "Don't tell me, although Qin Lan's method is not very lethal, it is quite disgusting. It's hard for her to think of it. Your prosecution of her will not let her go to jail. It will only make her hate them more. You will have to bother them every day in the future!"
"It's really possible. It's scary to be harassed by such a person." Jiang Lili agreed with Lu Hongzhe's words at this moment. Qin Lan is a person who looks fierce but is weak inside. If she didn't insist on suing, she would probably be the one who was harassed.
"By the way, we had arranged for someone to go to Youyou Paradise to cause trouble today, but she actually closed the store." Cheng Yuntian's tone was a little regretful.
"This kind of thing really should be left to professionals." Jiang Lili couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, as long as she still runs the store, I will make sure she learns what it means to find fault. Of course, ours is an open conspiracy, unlike her secret plots." Cheng Yuntian almost guaranteed that she was a law-abiding citizen.
Jiang Lili's eyes were full of smiles. Afraid that she would continue the topic of wheels, she quickly asked, "Sister Cheng, how is the site selection going?"
"I've looked at two places now, and I'm not very satisfied. I'll wait for Old Cheng to introduce me to some. I'm on my way to see Sister Mei now, and I'll ask her if she has any recommendations." Cheng Yuntian said.
"Lili, are you going to the library?" Li Qian, who was about to go to the library, asked her. Before she could answer, Cheng Yuntian on the other end of the phone said, "Then you are busy. I'm hanging up first."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the people who were about to go to the library and shook her head: "You guys go ahead, I want to sleep for a while."
"Okay, then you go to sleep, we'll be back soon." After they left, Jiang Lili was soon the only one left in the dormitory. She had come from home in the morning, so she got up very early. Of course, she was really sleepy at this moment.
Both main Baby Paradise stores were guarded by people, and coupled with the clarification in the newspaper, the previous small-scale discussion quickly disappeared. Baby Paradise also attracted a lot of new customers because of this incident. Of course, many people also asked about Youbei.
Before leaving get off work, Wang Hong called her to tell her about this. Jiang Lili raised her lips with some joy. It seems that this is not entirely a bad thing. Their purpose of promoting Youbei has been achieved. Now is the beginning of the school season, and most of the children who come to the store have not yet started school, so they can be regarded as potential customers of Youbei. This time, they have not lost out.
They were busy preparing for Youbei's affairs. In addition to paying close attention to this matter, Lu Hongzhe also did not forget to care about Lu Jiaze's situation in Nanshi.
Lu Jiaze looked at the phone in his hand speechlessly: "So you called just for this?"
"I'm obviously concerned." Lu Hongzhe said in a serious tone.
"Oh!" Lu Jiaze was clearly unconvinced. After a few seconds, he said seriously, "My mom went back last week. The people she brought with her also gave me a peace locket and told me to wear it close to my body. They also told me not to contact her again, saying that after a certain time, when the constraints were gone, this matter would be over."
Lu Jiaze's tone was full of sarcasm. In his opinion, this person seemed to say a lot, but in fact, there was no useful information at all. He was just another liar.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Hongzhe thought, no matter what, it is right to eliminate the chance of contact between the two first.
"Let's not meet for now. Anyway, the courses in school are indeed heavier this year, and the daily training has also increased." Lu Jiaze didn't mean to listen to the two people, but simply didn't want Qiu Shaoli to worry.
"I think it's right not to meet, but you also have to pay attention to her. Since she is plotting against you, if you keep avoiding her, she may continue to make trouble." Lu Hongzhe reminded.
"Yeah, I know." All she relied on was that his former roommate saw her staying in her room that night. Similarly, he could use this incident as a breakthrough.
Just as Lu Hongzhe guessed, Ji Mingyue was indeed planning a big move after not being able to contact Lu Jiaze for almost a month. She touched her belly and sent a message to Lu Jiaze tentatively.
