Chapter 117: Rumors

The sweet-looking girl stepped out of the airport hall and was picked up by a car, however, she didn’t go to a hotel, but went to the rich and powerful villa area in the city, where someone was waiting for her.

The shrewd and beautiful intellectual woman, did not come to pick up, she took her assistant into a cab, also did not go to the hotel, and the place she went to, although not the rich and powerful villa area, but also the city’s highest selling price of the property – since a few years ago to now, that neighborhood has been the legend of the city of Blue Water, and its price has not been exceeded.

When the two women from the rich and famous arrived in the city of Blue Water, it was like two drops of water blending into the river, and didn’t cause any ripples – at least not at the moment.

Zishan and Lin Hao gradually deepened their feelings, and their relationship slowly warmed up, without any alliance but very cozy. Recently, mother and daughter have been meeting with Lin Hao almost every day, mostly in the evening, when Zi Shan and Lin Hao don’t have any work to deal with, so they have dinner together or go out, and then come back to Zi Shan’s house to watch TV.

It just so happens that on Sunday there is no thing Lin Hao, they asked Zi Shan mother and daughter to go to the countryside to play fishing, originally Zi Shan heart hangs on the business do not want to go, but was Chu Xiang and so and so quietly pushed to the car, along with the baby packaged to Lin Hao.

“If you can’t take care of our pair of big and small princesses, come back and have your good fruit to eat.” Xue Jing even threatened Lin Hao before waving them away.

The air in the countryside was nice, and the frozen river made the baby wonder how she could still fish, and then after seeing the fish that Lin Hao caught, she worshipped Lin Hao even more – in her eyes, Uncle Lin was practically omnipotent. The laughter of the three of them also made the people in the neighborhood happy, and many of them complimented the baby on how pretty she looked, and how much she looked like her father’s eyebrows and eyes – the so-called father of course referring to Lin Hao.

Hearing Lin Hao’s brow smile, he picked up the baby and kissed him a few times, watching Zi Shan’s smile creep up to the tip of her eyebrows. Just as the three of them were grilling fish as a family, not far away behind the window of a wooden house stood that sweet girl, who frowned as she looked at the figure of Zi Shan’s trio.

“It really seems like it.” She murmured a sentence, looking again at the picture of Zi Shan she held in her hand, “In person, it’s actually prettier than in the picture.”

A man stood at her side, looking eight or nine percent similar to her, “It looks like she’s in good spirits.”

Zi Shan and Lin Hao looked up and around a few times, only to find friendly smiles coming from the people around them – they always felt as if someone was sneaking a peek at them, and eventually Zi Shan decided that she was being overly sensitive and threw it to the back of her mind without paying any more attention to it. But Lin Hao was different, his brows furrowed, happy since a little bit of news from the bottom of his eyes, even with some tension.

As a result, the winter fishing activity ended in a hurry after eating grilled fish. He gently exhaled after making a call that went unanswered when Zi Shan took the baby to the restroom, and returned to the city, where Lin Hao said that he had something to do without accompanying Zi Shan’s mother and daughter any longer, and drove away quickly.

Zi Shan mother and daughter do not have any regrets, because the fun would have been very happy, coupled with the return of Zi Shan have things to keep her busy, and the baby has a high plateau as a companion, mother and daughter are not lonely anyone.

On this day, after the last batch of lunch boxes were delivered, Zixan and Chuxiang stretched their backs, and then sat down on the sofa to rest and wait for so-and-so to come back to eat together. The current Zishan’s face was rosy, she didn’t look like the mother of a five year old child by any stretch of the imagination, and was more than five or six years younger than when she was with Feng Dayong.

After talking to Chu Xiang about the dishes ordered by the guests in the evening, Zi Shan and the girls started chatting, but the time passed a little bit, but so and so did not come back, compared to the usual but it was a lot later.

Zishan was uneasy and picked up her cell phone to make a call when her cell phone rang, and when she saw that it was Xue Jing’s, she answered it in a hurry: “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just that there’s a rumor over here that we use dead pork and sick chickens to cook, I had a good time explaining it to the customers, and they’ll come to our place tomorrow to take a look. But I asked around and didn’t ask who was posting the bad, I’m afraid you guys are worried to give you a call, I’ll be home soon.” Xue Jing’s voice still carried residual anger in it, obviously this matter pissed her off quite a bit.

Zishan was surprised to hear it, “How could there be such a rumor?” There is always a share of the market, especially some already mature market, the cruelty of its competition Zi Shan is well aware of, if there is a one-hit wonder situation, and still the latecomer to the top, in the absence of time to accumulate, it is easy for rumors and other attacks to occur.

Generally speaking it was strikes originating from opponents. But the business that Zi Shan and the others were doing now, under the premise that Zi Shan had lived again, it was clear that no one was doing the same business at the moment, the market could be said to be a blank slate, and there was almost no rivalry whatsoever.

Of course, their customers also want to eat, but these customers are not all stabilized in a restaurant, so even if the impact on the turnover of some restaurants, it is not big. In this situation, Zi Shan didn’t think any restaurant would spread such rumors.

And she and Xue Jing, Chu Xiang also dealt with people in a peaceful manner, and did not have any grievances with anyone since they made the nutritious meals, so these rumors came too strange and out of the ordinary.

Chu Xiang was also strangely surprised, “How could such a thing happen?” She and Zi Shan thought and thought and still didn’t have a clue.

Not too long after X Jing came back, the anger on her face hadn’t dissipated, “Let me catch which one dares to put out such rumors, I will definitely beat my head to death! When I retired from the jianghu all these years, I can just let others bully me?”

Zi Shan and Chu Xiang were made to laugh by her, “Those who don’t know think you’re a Tai Mei, well, be careful of being seen by your family’s Highlander and your baby, and teaching the little ones a bad lesson.”

The three of them sat down to eat – of course the child had already eaten long ago, no matter how busy they were they still had to make sure the child ate on time, the three of them discussed the situation as they ate, but they still didn’t have the slightest clue, they really didn’t know what was going on with them.

Zi Shan thought for a moment, “When we don’t know where the rumors are coming from, we’d better not contact new customers, consolidate the old ones first, and if there’s something going on, these customers will trust us a bit more. No matter who is spreading the rumors, there is always his purpose, as long as he continues to do it, he will always be caught by us.”

Xue Jing and Chu Xiang were depressed, but they could only do so. Over the next few days, the rumors were still spreading, causing the three of them, Zi Shan, to be a little exhausted, and the number of customers had really dropped. This was the first time Zi Shan and the girls had faced a dilemma since they started working.

“If this continues, we’ll have fewer and fewer clients.” Chu Xiang was so angry, “It’s one thing to make more or less money, it’s really irritating to be falsely accused like this.”

Xue Jing went out and around every day with nothing to do, but she just couldn’t find the person who spread the rumor, “Damn it, who is this trying to harm us?!”

Zishan did think about it for several days, “Rumors are indeed hateful, yet they are not without their benefits, we are not doing anything wrong in the first place, so we are not worried about the meals, and it reminds us of how we need to let everyone know how our meals are made and where the ingredients are used.”

“Transparent.” Her eyes turned up, suddenly remembering the situation ten years later – all she had originally thought of was the misery related to Feng Dayong, this was the first time she had thought of anything else, well, in her last life, she had focused on her entanglement with Feng Dayong, and she didn’t know much about the outside world, but it wouldn’t be nothing.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the difficulties she had just had when trying to work for money, and a thought popped up in her mind, “If I could remember the lottery numbers, hey!” But it was just a joking thought, because she never bought lottery tickets, so of course she wouldn’t care about the lottery numbers.

Zixan believed in the money she earned with her own hands, just like making boxed lunches – as long as she worked hard she knew that tomorrow would be better, and as long as she wasn’t afraid to suffer, she knew exactly how much more she could earn, while the lottery was just a kind of luck, a kind of future that couldn’t be exactly controlled by her hands – she didn’t like to hope for the future, she didn’t like to hope for the future. -she didn’t like to hope for something so remote.

Besides, how could she possibly remember every lottery number for ten years? It was the first time she realized that she actually had an advantage over everyone else-she knew something about the next ten years, though it probably wasn’t even a big deal because she was too caught up in her circumstances, too misguided by herself, to relate to anything big in society.

Like the rise and fall of the stock market or something like that, but she knew there was still something she could use. Now, she knew more than ever how wrong her former self had been, how much more than then she’d misplaced her energies on a man who didn’t deserve it.

“Transparent?” Chu Xiang and Xue Jing looked at Zi Shan, “Make the lunchbox transparent? This won’t work.” The two looked at each other, not understanding what Zi Shan meant.

Zi Shan smiled, “Not the lunch box, like the meat, right, the rumors say we use sick pigs and dead chickens or something like that. No. But we’re only buying meat from a few houses, and it’s not much cheaper–why not just go directly to the meat factory to get the goods? It’s a bit of a hassle, but they’ll issue us a ticket, and we’ll have a source for our meat to check.”

“And the vegetables and stuff, we can work a little harder and go to the vegetable fields in the suburbs every day, we can do that now because we use many, many more vegetables, for one thing we can guarantee freshness, and for another we can sign contracts with the farmers – we want healthy, fresh vegetables. ”

“And ……” Zixan’s thoughts opened up as she got more and more comprehensive, identifying everything they used from rice and flour to food and oil, all of it to some authority, or some place that could prove to everyone that what we chose was the best: “Even if the vegetables are taken in the hands of vegetable farmers, and there is no authority that can confirm, but there are many others that can confirm, then these people will naturally believe in our choice.”

Xue Jing and Chu Xiang’s sadness was swept away, “Right, that’s it! Anyway, we have a huge profit margin, even if the cost is a bit more, there’s no problem. Transparent, let’s be transparent and let the rumors not break.”

“In fact, our business has reached this point, what we’re looking for is no longer how much profit we can make on individual lunchboxes, but to come out with volume. So, even if the individual profit is less, as long as the volume is there, we will definitely get more than before, and the main thing is that, after occupying the market, this profit can only be long-lasting.” Zishan was the one who fought together with Feng Dayong, she naturally knew a lot about business.
