Chapter 126 The Taste of Mom
When leaving the Jing family, Jing Qian saw that there were people lying in ambush around. These people were dressed similarly to the bodyguards she usually saw at the Zhan family. In addition, when Qin Yi was talking to her, the person who kept recording and taking pictures of her made her understand what was going on.
So even though he could have easily dealt with the paparazzi, Jing Qian pretended not to see it and drove away, leaving the Zhan family members to handle it.

Originally, the official announcement of "Mirror World" was supposed to be made the next day, but for some unknown reason, it was delayed. The official announcement will be made in three days.
Jing Qian also received an official notice asking her to report to the crew in three days. After that, there would be three days of reading.
During these three days, Jing Qian used the money given by Zhan Lichuan to do something meaningful.
"Mom's Taste" is a mooncake factory, and the factory manager is Qin Yi's mother, Li Yufang.
Li Yufang makes handmade treats. Back when Qin Yi was still a relatively unknown celebrity, Li Yufang often made them to help him retain his already limited fan base. She then gave them to Qin Yi's wealthy fans, telling them they tasted like their mother's. Because the treats were so good, many fans begged to try them.
Li Yufang's time was limited, and her family was broke, so mass production was out of the question. So, fans began to spontaneously organize orders, with no time limits or requirements. For them, tasting something their idol would also enjoy was an obsession.
This was Li Yufang's first pot of gold.
With the money, Li Yufang set up a small workshop and then turned it into a handmade mooncake factory in a short period of time, while also selling some other snacks.
Those fans who spent money directly targeted Li Yufang's mooncake factory, allowing Li Yufang to make a fortune in the past few months.
This is already good enough. If I keep doing well, maybe even if I can't become a star, I can still make a fortune by relying on mooncakes.
As a result, Li Yufang was afraid of being poor and greedy. Seeing the opportunity to reap profits, he not only replaced the good and expensive raw materials with poor and cheap low-quality ingredients, but also obtained a small loan based on leverage through the private channels of some big fans.
This microloan is indeed small. But even a small amount is leverage. For example, if you borrow 20,000 yuan, you need to put up 10,000 yuan as collateral. Loans over 500,000 yuan require real estate collateral.
The loan repayment is based on the price of one of the classic mooncakes of "Mom's Taste".
For example, if you borrow money for a classic mooncake, and that money is priced at 100 yuan, then one share represents 100 yuan. When you repay the loan, you also repay the number of shares. If the price of this 100 yuan mooncake increases to 200 yuan, even if you only borrowed it for one day and returned it the next day, you would still have to pay 200 yuan. But if, after a year, the price of this mooncake drops to 80 yuan, you would only have to pay 80 yuan.
To put it bluntly, even though they do not meet the listing qualifications, they still insist on trading according to listed shares.
The loan term ranges from one month to six months.
In order to raise the price too high and increase the loan interest of "Mom's Taste" so that Qin Yi's family can make more money from it, those big fans are frantically promoting it to fans.
