Chapter 1229: Chapter 1231
"The dishes today were pretty good."
"Thank you for your hospitality." Zhao Xuran stood at the restaurant entrance and thanked Wu Hui Zhong for the hospitality.
"Let’s get together again if we get the chance, the chat today was quite enjoyable."
Zhao Xuran wasn’t worried that Wu Hui Zhong would do anything to betray them. He was just a newly acquainted broker, after all. He had no idea about their internal affairs.
More importantly, Zhao Xuran didn’t think there was anything that couldn’t be shared.
Wu Hui Zhong was really determined to chat with Zhao Xuran today. He wasn’t asking for much, just that one sentence.
But he waited and waited, and never got that result. He didn’t expect that at the crucial moment, he would finally hear it.
He was so excited; if it weren’t for people watching, he really wanted to cry.
"Sure, I’m free anytime."
"Did everyone get enough to eat today?" Even though Wu Hui Zhong was feeling all kinds of excitement, he still remembered why he hosted this meal.
Qiao Yanran, despite her many complaints about Luo Zijun, honestly wasn’t intending to show Wu Hui Zhong a good face.
At that moment, however, she had to admit this meal was thoroughly satisfying, "What if I say I’m not full?"
Qiao Yanran was originally planning to thank someone for their hospitable reception, but after catching sight of Luo Zijun’s displeased expression, she changed her mind.
Not full, huh? Isn’t that easy to solve? Wu Hui Zhong really didn’t see it as a problem, "We can continue."
"So are we going for BBQ next or what?" Wu Hui Zhong was in such a good mood today; he left the choice to Qiao Yanran and the others.
Generous, Qiao Yanran admired him and gave him a thumbs up, "Strong."
Luo Zijun felt annoyed seeing Qiao Yanran acting like that, as if she was invisible, flirting with her man right in front of her.
"Alright, today’s meal, have you considered how much it cost you all?" Luo Zijun thought of the payment she just made for the meal, and her heart ached.
Spending so much money and still not being full, and even thinking about eating more, isn’t that too much?
Ah, this person finally couldn’t hold it in. Qiao Yanran knew Luo Zijun’s temper wasn’t great and didn’t expect her to show such disrespect right in front of her man.
Wu Hui Zhong was almost going to lose it, "You can’t count money when eating, as long as the conversation is good and enjoyable, it’s worth any price."
This guy really botched everything, "Well, I have something else to do, let’s get together next time."
"Next time, I’ll definitely treat everyone to a good meal, a meal that will fill everyone up." Even without Zhao Xuran, Wu Hui Zhong was willing to spend the money to befriend Qiao Yanran and the others.
Even though what Luo Zijun said earlier was somewhat disrespectful to her seniors, she wasn’t wrong. As people from Jing University, their starting point was much stronger than many others.
The upcoming occasions weren’t suitable for them to stay and observe; either Luo Zijun would explode, or Wu Hui Zhong would.
Zhao Xuran drove Qiao Yanran and the others back to school, never bringing up anything about Luo Zijun during the ride.
Even if they didn’t stay, just seeing Wu Hui Zhong’s bulging veins, one could tell he was really pissed off.
If Luo Zijun hadn’t burst out, Wu Hui Zhong’s anger might have slowly subsided, but would she really not react?
Everyone in the car didn’t believe that someone as proud and temperamental as Luo Zijun would hold it in.
After dropping Qiao Yanran and the others at the dormitory, Zhao Xuran drove straight to the pharmaceutical factory. Today, he was genuinely busy with so many things to handle.
"I think you pointed out too many areas to watch out for last time. Even if those people can’t come to the factory to inspect, it doesn’t mean they’ll give up." Some people don’t care about this inherited stuff.
It’s not like their ancestors spent countless generations researching and finally figuring out these things; there’s no sense of inheritance.
Also, they are salaried employees, so how well these things sell or whether they can make money really doesn’t concern them one bit.
However, it’s different at Shiyu Hall. Zhao Xuran and his team depend on this to work hard and make money.
Previously, because they had to provide special plaster for the military, their pace of entering the civilian sector slowed down, but since expanding production, the plaster has made good use of this military supply reputation to expand its business.
"The market demand is increasing, and profits are steadily rising."
"Mom is already planning to expand the scale of each medicinal herb planting base."
"I really have to thank you for this." Zhao Xuran sincerely expressed his gratitude. The rapid development of Shiyu Hall undeniably touched many people’s nerves.
In short, various methods were continually being utilized, and if it weren’t for their excellent reputation within the military, it’s estimated these people would directly attack the product quality.
Since there’s no way to target the quality, they target the production volume instead.
Having suffered once, Zhao Xuran was left with a very deep impression, even though that time the impact wasn’t too large.
"Something that happens once is enough. If it happens again, I’d really be a fool." It wasn’t that Zhao Xuran hadn’t found out who made a move, but he had no way to act.
Because these were scaled state-owned pharmaceutical factories, private enterprises genuinely have no chance against state-owned enterprises, and Zhao Xuran didn’t believe they would win.
Since they couldn’t openly confront them, they used their rising production and profits to make them envious to death.
"Right, that way they won’t be able to hold us back."
"And it can help quite a few people, too." Some medicinal herbs grown in the West, as long as the planting bases are established there, it not only revitalizes the economy but also significantly improves their lives.
"Not only can they not block us, but mom said in the future we can sell the medicinal herbs." At that time, just watch their faces; they’ll surely be dumbstruck.
Back then, they tried all kinds of ways to cause trouble, and now, as long as they get the medicinal herb bases set up right, let’s see how those fools end up dancing to their tune.
Zhao Xuran and the others had been talking about the development path of Shiyu Hall the whole way, not caring what Luo Zijun would do.
For someone who constantly tried to stamp above their heads, Gong Ruini was full of disgust.
"I think someone is about to break up," Zhao Xuran said with a face full of joy.
"I already gave Wu Hui Zhong a chance, he’ll know what to choose."
He originally wanted to use this opportunity for a connection with them. Now that it’s accomplished, why would he continue to endure Luo Zijun?
"A woman may not be beautiful, but she can’t be dumb."
"If you’re not smart, don’t get too cocky."
But someone is just so smug, thinking she knows everything. If she truly had all sorts of talents, the only choice would be to endure it.
The problem is, all she has is a temper, and beyond that, nothing else, "Wu Hui Zhong is a person with a temper, it’s a problem if he can tolerate it."
Anyway, Zhao Xuran was full of admiration for Luo Hui Zhong, for being able to last this long.
If Wu Hui Zhong can endure, it’s only because he hasn’t achieved his goal yet. Once he does, it would be a problem if he continues to endure.
