Zhang Xingrong turned to look at her. "I was wondering who has such a foul mouth and can't even speak! She's an elder, why doesn't she act like one? Is being an elder meant to gossip behind people's backs? Only your elders act like that, right? Your parents taught you to gossip and meddle in other people's business since you were little? You're saying I'm rude, oh, you think it's polite to meddle in other people's business and gossip behind their backs? What kind of manners is that? Even the emperor doesn't have this kind of manners, right?"
"..." Meng Yue'e's face turned red and white, and she didn't know how to refute. She just said one sentence, and Zhang Xingrong started to curse a lot, and she couldn't win!
Finally, Zhang Xingrong said coldly, "Let me say this one last thing. I, Zhang Xingrong, live my own life and don't eat your rice. It's not your turn to meddle in my family's affairs! If you have time, take care of your own children and let them study hard and go to college. That's the real skill!"
After scolding her, she felt much better and turned back.
This time, no one dared to say anything to her. Even if they did, they would wait until the person was gone. Otherwise, they would start a quarrel, which they would not be able to win!
Not to mention them, even Zhou Da thought Zhang Xingrong was formidable. He had initially thought Zhang Xingrong was a little girl being bullied, but now it seemed she couldn't be defeated even with a few more people. However, he felt it wasn't Zhang Xingrong's fault; it was these people who were always gossiping. No wonder people were angry.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jianming spent the day feeling anxious and restless. The next morning, he woke up early to look for the newspaper. Fortunately, his wife had gone to the grocery store early to get the newspaper.
Xiao Jianming couldn't wait to open the provincial newspaper. What caught his eye was the photo of Aunt Zhu kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and the headline on the photo was: Is Hongyun a black-hearted factory, or is there some other injustice?
Then came the report about what happened at the police station. Aunt Zhu, under orders to buy Hongyun's suitcase for money, deliberately dismantled it and tried to extort money. First she slandered him, then she begged for mercy. Pictures revealed the truth. The report then posed a series of questions: Was this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? Who was trying to frame Hongyun? And why? The provincial newspaper's report went viral.
After all, many people have bought Hongyun’s knitted products, so everyone is paying attention to this matter.
In addition, the incident had caused a lot of controversy before, so it attracted more attention. Therefore, as soon as the report came out, the matter became even more popular, and people on the streets were talking about it.
"Did you see? There's a new report on the shady factory a few days ago. It turns out that woman slandered the factory for money!"
"I took a look, there are photos on it. I never thought there would be such a black-hearted person!"
"I was just saying, the boxes and baskets I bought are all pretty good. I even pressed them down, so they're really sturdy!"
"Oh, ours isn't broken. I even stepped on the basket to return it, thinking it might break, but it wasn't broken at all. That Aunt Zhu is just a black-hearted person.
“…”
In this way, Hongyun Rattan Weaving became truly famous in the provincial capital. Those who had never bought wicker products before now knew about Hongyun.
The provincial newspaper reported the incident, which caused a huge response. Other newspapers did not get the news and could only envy the provincial newspaper. However, they then began to dig up various news.
The provincial newspaper certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. Zhang Xingrong had already reminded Xu Hongbo that day. He tried every possible way to dig up information about Hongyun, even going so far as to visit the Hongyun Production Brigade.
He didn't know until he dug in that Hongyun was the province's first rattan weaving factory. He then discovered the Qiaozhen factory. Soon after, he even uncovered the fact that Qiaozhen and Hongyun were competing for the second and third spots in the department store market.
Some of these were said by Luo Ertao at the instruction of Zhang Xingrong.
