Wealth stirs the heart, and as Su Mingxian's business flourished, it was only natural that some would harbor inappropriate thoughts.
However, Su Mingxian's formidable strength kept most at bay, deterring them from acting recklessly.
Unfortunately—
After this incident, everyone was on edge. "Sister Xian, why don't you come stay at my house? My family is large, and at least you'll be safe," Wang Daguo said earnestly.
Huangpu River immediately objected, "That won't do! If anyone is to stay, it should be—"
Thinking of the rundown neighborhood he lived in, he quickly changed his tune. "Sister Xian, I think these thieves dare to come because there are no men at home. Look at your household—it's just you and Sister Liu with two kids. How can that work? How about I move in instead?"
As Huangpu River spoke, he couldn't help but flirt, his gaze lingering on Su Mingxian in a way that made her skin crawl. Was he really getting addicted to playing the pretty boy?
"Count me in too!" Heizi chimed in eagerly. "Sister Xian, if anyone dares to steal while I'm around, I'll just charge at them headfirst."
Huangpu River shot him a glare. "Shut up! You're everywhere! What are you even doing here? I'm here because I'm Sister Xian's man; we’ll end up living together sooner or later..."
"Enough." Su Mingxian shot him an exasperated look. "They must be after the chili oil recipe."
"Huh???" Everyone was taken aback.
Su Mingxian calmly continued, "The thieves headed straight for the kitchen. What other purpose could they have? Has anyone been trying to steal our business lately?"
"Sister Xian, it's true," Huangpu River said immediately. "A few days ago, I mentioned that someone else is selling Liangpi, and they are undercutting us by fifty cents. Recently, they've even moved close to our stall."
Su Mingxian frowned. "Do we know who they are? Have you found out anything?"
Everyone shook their heads. Huangpu River shrugged. "They call themselves Ma Family Liangpi. They don't have many food trucks, and their taste isn't as good as ours, so it shouldn't affect our business too much."
"Ma Family Liangpi?" Su Mingxian's mind suddenly flashed back to Boss Ma from Shi Wei Tian. What a coincidence!
But she had a history with that person named Ma. "Never mind, let's put this aside for now. Xiao Wang, keep a close watch on the market. We can't let these franchisees cut corners and damage our reputation. If we catch them, we'll deal with them severely. And A Jiang, how's the search for the shop going? We need to get the Fried Chicken Shop up and running as soon as possible."
Huangpu River perked up. "Sister Xian, I've found a few shops with good locations. There's one that's still available; should we go take a look?"
...
Shen Chi had found a lead from Hou Tian yesterday and immediately began his investigation.
Fang Dahai had extensive connections and quickly located Wang Daguo's residence.
Looking at the familiar address, Shen Chi frowned. "Changfu Lane?"
"That's right," Fang Dahai said after gulping down a large sip of water. "This guy really is an employee of the Mechanical Factory, but he left a few days ago, which is why I couldn't find him. The factory's family quarters are right next to Changfu Lane. Is there something wrong with that area?"
Shen Chi shook his head. "My maternal family lives there."
Fang Dahai was taken aback. "What a coincidence?"
Shen Chi nodded. "Then let's set off now."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave when Hou Tian immediately blocked his way. "Um, Brother Chi Zi, what exactly is going on here?"
Seeing this, Fang Dahai suddenly laughed and pulled Hou Tian into a hug. "What's going on? Can you guess?"
