Chapter 191 The True Purpose
"No, I can't bear it." Xu Nuo smiled and gently brushed away Zhang Man's hand, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Seeing Xu Nuo deliberately keeping a distance from her, Zhang Man’s smile froze.
You won't reject her, will you?
But thinking about the money that was about to pour in like water, she gritted her teeth and put her face on the line: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you for the recipe for duck products."
Xu Nuo was not surprised at all that Zhang Man could say this.
She had been preparing for this for quite some time tonight, and all she was short of was saying this.
And now, she finally spoke out.
"Sister-in-law, you see, we are a family, right? If you can give the recipe to outsiders, you can naturally give the recipe to your own family, right?" Lu Feng also said.
After hearing this, Xu Nuo subconsciously wanted to frown.
How shameless are these two people? They asked her for the formula so bluntly?
"This recipe is not mine." Xu Nuo decided from the beginning that he would not give the recipe to Zhang Man.
Zhang Qiang cheated on Xu Shan, made her pregnant, and then abandoned her, forcing Xu Shan to marry an old bachelor in the village.
Zhang Man had cheated her. If she had met Shi Ning that day, she would have known what would have been the consequences.
Although Xu Shan is not a good person, at least her surname is Xu, and she and the original body are cousins, so they have an unbreakable blood relationship.
Just because of these two points, there was no way she would give the recipe to Zhang Man.
"Sister-in-law, how could this recipe not be yours? We heard it with our own ears. If it wasn't yours, we wouldn't come to you for it. Otherwise, we don't want you to suffer a loss, sister-in-law, can we buy it?"
"Yes, we'll buy it." Lu Feng gritted his teeth and held out a finger. "One thousand dollars! One thousand dollars for a formula, that's ok, right?"
"This is not a question of money. This recipe is really not mine." Xu Nuo emphasized again.
Zhang Man didn't believe it, she told Xu Nuo what happened on the phone just now: "Sister-in-law, if it wasn't yours, why would they tell you about it? Obviously, it was you who gave it. You can give it to outsiders, so why can't you give it to our own people? Otherwise, we can run the business together?"
Xu Nuo didn't expect that Liao Hong would actually call her and let Zhang Man answer the call.
No wonder she came to her in such a hurry to ask for the recipe.
"The recipe was developed by Liao Hong and her sister-in-law. I also participated in it and helped add a few ingredients. The two sisters-in-law generously gave me 10% of the income. As for Lei Ming, he stayed at my house when he went to see Lu Cheng. He got the recipe from Liao Hong and her sister-in-law. As for whether he bought it or gave it to me as a gift, I don't know."
Lu Chen rolled down from the horizontal bar and stood behind Xu Nuo: "It's like this. You guys should stop making things difficult for your sister-in-law."
Since Xu Nuo and his wife had said such things, Zhang Man didn't know what to say.
"Okay, then brother and sister-in-law, you guys continue. Lu Feng and I will go back." Zhang Man's face looked a little ugly, and her tone was not as calm as before.
Xu Nuo curled the corners of his lips: "Okay, goodbye then."
After watching the two people's backs go away, Xu Nuo curled his lips and said, "What a wishful thinking! When you were trying to trick me, why didn't you think that there would be such a day?"
Lu Chen smiled and raised his hand to touch her head: "I am so lucky that I picked up a treasure and brought it home! In their eyes, you are now a cash cow!"
Xu Nuo smiled at Lu Chen: "Your cash cow is tired, take me home."
"Okay." Lu Chen walked in front of her and squatted down gently. He patted his shoulder and said, "Come up."
"This is not good...if someone sees it..."
Lu Chen chuckled twice: "I'm not afraid, so what should you be afraid of? I'm carrying my own wife, not someone else's."
Looking at his broad and tall shoulders, it would be disrespectful to Xu Nuo if he hesitated for another second.
She leaned on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Then take a longer detour to a place with fewer people."
Lu Chen curled his lips: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
After leaving the compound, Zhang Man frowned, her tone full of resentment: "Lu Feng, don't you think Xu Nuo is too much? She clearly has the formula, but she refuses to give it to us. What do you think she is thinking?"
Lu Feng was also annoyed by this result.
He seemed to understand why Xu Nuo didn't give them the formula. After all, Zhang Man had just cheated her, so it was reasonable for her to bear a grudge and not want to give them the formula.
"Manman, do you think the old lady knows about this?" Lu Feng thought of his biological mother's attitude all along and always felt that she was hiding something.
"How should I know? Even if she knew, your mother wouldn't tell us." Zhang Man's resentment grew stronger when she mentioned Cheng Wanying. "She only has your eldest brother and third brother in her eyes. When has she ever cared about us? Our lives are so difficult now, but she doesn't care about us at all. She even drove us out and let us fend for ourselves!
I am even doubting now, are you her biological child? Were you picked up?"
Hearing his wife making up stories about his own mother, Lu Feng's face immediately darkened and he scolded in a low voice: "Alright, stop talking! Don't mention Mom anymore. We'll figure out the recipe later."
Seeing that Lu Feng was angry, Zhang Man shut her mouth awkwardly and stopped talking.
After a while, she whispered again: "Lu Feng, why don't you not come to my house today? I'm afraid my parents and brother will ask a lot of questions and we won't be able to explain them clearly. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Lu Feng nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
The next day, Lu Chen and Xu Nuo both returned to school and continued to attend their respective training classes.
In class, a military theory expert from the academy focused on some strategies and military theories, and created a virtual battlefield environment, asking everyone to develop tactics and combat commands.
Lu Chen did an excellent job in this topic. The battle plan he provided was very detailed, and his tactics were flexible and maneuverable, and he provided applications in different combat environments.
Lu Chen's name was already very famous, and after this classroom training, he once again attracted everyone's attention.
You know, those who can participate in this commander training are all soldiers with rich combat experience and have been on the battlefield.
Lu Chen was able to stand out among these people because of his real abilities.
Before the get out of class ended, the military instructor assigned them another task, giving them three days to discuss some of the current problems in the army and how to rectify them in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness and construction of our combat forces.
This was not a difficult task for Lu Chen.
On weekdays, he accumulated a lot of experience and discovered many problems in his work.
In addition, he has always had the habit of reading over the years. In the past, he read those translated military works. Recently, he finished reading a military strategy book that Xu Nuo had translated for him. All the knowledge was clearly stored in his mind.
So, he combined the actual situation and used what he had learned to make a plan.
Three days later in class, the military instructor read his plan and applauded it on the spot.
He looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes and said with approval: "Lu Chen, your points are very pertinent, especially the part about informationized warfare and psychological training of soldiers, which hits the point. We will study this plan carefully and submit it to our superiors. Your insights are very valuable."
A few days later, a detailed plan was placed on the desks of the military district commander and the army chief.
People who have read this plan feel that it is very feasible. Lu Chen's vision is forward-looking and should be taken seriously and promoted.
This week, the name Lu Chen caused a stir in the military again, allowing many people to get to know this young regiment commander.
Compared to Lu Chen's immersion and concentration, Xu Nuo had more things to distract her.
In addition to classes, Shi Ning gave her two extra lessons and also asked her to go to the movies.
Xu Nuo rejected his invitation. After all, she didn't want to make her "jealous king" jealous again.
These things were minor matters, not enough to bother her.
What bothered her most was the current situation. Zhang Man’s brother Zhang Qiang stopped her at the school gate and wanted to invite her to dinner to discuss an important matter.
"I'm sorry, I have classes in the afternoon, so I can't go to dinner with you."
"It's okay, you have class in the afternoon, I'll wait in the evening. If I don't have time today, I'll wait tomorrow. Xu Nuo, you must have time, right? It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait here." Zhang Qiang held a cigarette in his mouth and squinted his eyes.
He seemed to have the attitude that he would not give up unless his promise was met.
