Chapter 64 Showdown
"I love you guys too. After you've rested up, we'll move on to the next activity."
Lu Zhao was never stingy in expressing his love. He kissed his young wife and son hard on the face. After they recovered, he bought them a bottle of soda and something to eat. After they had a complete rest, he went to do other things.
Ferris wheel, slide, roller coaster, whatever there is, just try them all.
It was already dark after the tour, so we could only go to the zoo later. However, we were in no hurry to go back, as we planned to stay in the provincial capital for more than a week, so we could enjoy ourselves slowly. It was okay.
The family of three found a nice restaurant for dinner, and went directly to the restaurant to attend Boss Zhou’s second wedding banquet at noon the next day.
Although it's not impossible to have a grand celebration for a second marriage, after all, Boss Zhou's wife has only been dead for a month. Not only is he getting married, but he's also making such a big deal about it. Just look at how big the hotel he booked is. I heard that he booked the entire restaurant. A rough count showed that there were probably more than a dozen tables.
Everyone coming and going was very happy. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaofang and her brother and sister wore new clothes today. It seemed that Boss Zhou really bought them some yesterday.
Although the two of them still didn't smile today, at least they didn't have sad faces and let Boss Zhou scold them.
Someone comforted the brother and sister, saying that it was okay and that they could just think of it as having another mother who loved them. The brother and sister did not get angry or curse at anyone, but just forced a smile and said nothing pitifully.
It was heartbreaking to see, and some of the more familiar people directly gave the brother and sister a red envelope. No matter what, a child without a mother will be more pitiful.
Boss Zhou might have been coaxed into submission by Chu Qianqian again today. He was in a good mood and in high spirits. When he toasted to everyone, it was hard to tell that he was angry with Chu Qianqian yesterday. He put his arm around Chu Qianqian's waist and toasted to everyone, showing their love and affection that made others envious.
Lu Zhao and Su Yunqi did not spoil the fun. The family of three found a place to sit down and ate their meal quietly.
Until the end of the wedding banquet, when everyone had left, Lu Zhao stayed until the end. Boss Zhou felt proud when he saw this, thinking that Lu Zhao was reluctant to leave. He touched his beer belly and walked over with a smile.
"How is it, Brother Lu? I organized this banquet well, didn't I? Is the food good?"
“It’s pretty good, the food is delicious, and it’s lively.”
Lu Zhao said honestly.
"That's good. It's worth your trip. You came all the way here. If I don't treat you well, I would feel guilty."
Boss Zhou was so proud, with his lovely wife in his arms, he was in high spirits and didn't notice at all how guilty Chu Qianqian beside him felt.
"It's okay. It's our last cooperation anyway. It's good that we can have a meal before we part ways."
Lu Zhao's smile continued, and Boss Zhou was horrified.
"What! How come it's a farewell dinner? No cooperation? Why? Haven't we cooperated well over the years? Look at you, you started from scratch and opened three dry goods stores by purchasing goods from me. Why are you suddenly not cooperating? Are you going to close your dry goods store?"
If they lost Lu Zhao as a customer, their wholesale store would lose a lot of money. After all, Lu Zhao’s purchase volume was large, and he made a lot of money every year.
"No, I have to find someone else to cooperate with. Boss Zhou, we have been working together for many years. Let me be honest with you. Over the years, you have been selling me more and more inferior goods mixed with good goods. I thought of our past friendship and said nothing. This time, I came to the provincial capital to attend your wedding banquet and bless you sincerely."
"But your new wife chased us away yesterday. I don't know if it was her idea or yours, but if that's the case, why don't we just part ways amicably and be nicer to your own children in the future. It's pitiful enough that the two children lost their mother. It would be too tragic if their father didn't love them anymore. Besides, if others see you like this, I'm afraid they won't dare to cooperate with you."
"I won't say anything else. I wish you good fortune, Boss Zhou. I hope you will get better and better in the future. We are leaving now."
Lu Zhao made his point clear, then picked up little Lu Yao and held Su Yunqi's hand and were about to leave. They had just paid the gift money, and Lu Zhao gave Boss Zhou a big red envelope, which fulfilled the friendship between the two over the years.
When Boss Zhou heard what Lu Zhao said, he was completely stunned and ashamed at the same time. He quickly grabbed Lu Zhao and stopped him from leaving.
"Brother Lu, please stop. Let's talk it over. We have been working together for so many years, how can we say that it is a done deal? You said that inferior goods were used as good ones. I really didn't know about this. Maybe the people under me made a mistake! I will check carefully in the future, okay? I will definitely send you good goods, not cheating you at all! I can even lower the price for you!"
"I definitely don't mean to chase you away. This woman acted on her own and didn't know how to speak. She offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf! Okay?"
In fact, where are the others? Even if he hired workers, Boss Zhou stayed in the store all year round, so it was impossible for his workers to find an opportunity to pass off inferior products as good ones. Besides, what's the point of the workers doing this? The money won't reach their hands. Boss Zhou's words are just to fool fools, and Lu Zhao naturally can't believe it.
He shook his head.
"Boss Zhou, let's work together again if we have a chance in the future."
This "there is a chance" was just a polite remark. Boss Zhou also knew that if he couldn't keep Lu Zhao today, he would lose this client forever. But since Lu Zhao had chosen to reveal his hand, he would never look back. In the end, Boss Zhou could only watch Lu Zhao leave in frustration.
It's a wholesale store, which makes money by selling large quantities of goods, with small profits but quick turnover. It's not like Lu's store, which sells at high prices but has a lot of customers, so he can make a lot of money with just a few customers.
Therefore, if he loses Lu Zhao as a customer, he will lose a lot of money. Even if Lu Zhao is gone, their business will not go bankrupt.
But losing money was as painful as cutting his flesh, and he refused to reflect on his own dishonest business practices. In the end, he blamed everything on Chu Qianqian. If she hadn't lost her temper yesterday and chased Lu Zhao away, if there hadn't been this fuse, Lu Zhao would definitely not have confronted him and chosen not to cooperate with him. It's all this bitch's fault!
"You are a spendthrift and think your life is too good, right? You dare to push away old customers! Do you know how much money he can make me every year? If I had known earlier, I should not have married you, a scourge! Jinx!"
Boss Zhou started to scold Chu Qianqian angrily. Chu Qianqian refused to tolerate him and started to quarrel with him.
"Listen to what he said. He said you were selling inferior goods as good ones. That's why he didn't want to cooperate with you, not because I chased him away! And I didn't chase him away yesterday. I just said something in anger. In the end, it was because you were greedy!"
"Before we got married, you said everything was fine. You listened to me and loved me. But it's only been a few days since we got married, and now look at how you treat me! I'm a virgin, so why did I marry you, an old man who's been married for the second time and has two children? I just wanted you to treat me well, but look at how well you treat me now. If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have married you!"
Chu Qianqian was not convinced. The two blamed each other, and each felt that they were not wrong. This was the case right after they got married. They were going to have a lot of chaos in the future.
However, these have nothing to do with Lu Zhao's family of three. By solving their own problems, they have also helped Zhou Xiaofang and her sister in a roundabout way. From now on, they can only rely on themselves.
After leaving the restaurant, the family of three went straight to the zoo.
"Wow, mom! What is that, a chicken? It's so big, and it's green!"
At the zoo, little Lu Yao, with his aho-hair on his head, was leaning over the railing with his butt sticking out, looking around and making noises like an ignorant bumpkin.
