Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

Gu Quan has made progress.

Previously, I only dared to mention "Reporter Du," but now I dare to mention "Reporter Du and the others."

However, he will only truly improve when he dares to directly mention Tang Guo.

It's just a pity for reporter Du, who always appears as a tool in various ways.

Upon returning to Dong County, Lu Zifeng first went to his father's auto repair shop to let him know he was safe, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to see his mother.

After all, this was probably the longest he had ever been away from home.

His parents didn't contact him because Qiao Ling contacted him and then relayed the message to Lu's mother that he was safe.

Speaking of this, Lu's mother became increasingly determined: "In this life, I only recognize Qiao Ling as my daughter-in-law. No one else, whether a movie star or a high-ranking official's son, is allowed to enter my Lu family."

Lu Zifeng chuckled sheepishly, "Mom, you overestimate me. A movie star, my foot!"

Lu's mother said, "I'm just giving you an example. You're always out there, living in the bright lights and bustling nightlife. Who knows when you might be bewitched by those frivolous women?"

Lu Zifeng did not respond.

In fact, Lu's mother's acceptance of Qiao Ling went through a process of change.

At first, she was worried that Lu Zifeng would not be able to find a wife. He had finally met Qiao Ling, who was good in both figure and appearance, and it would be a pity to let her go.

However, as they spent more time together, Qiao Ling's gentleness, virtue, diligence, and kindness gradually seeped into Lu's mother's very being.

This perfectly illustrates the saying that goes: "It begins with appearance, but ends with character."

Qiao Ling has to go and meet him.

When Lu Zifeng arrived near Qiao Ling's shop, he noticed that she had set up a clothing stall at the shop entrance, managing to sell both groceries and clothing, keeping herself extremely busy.

Over there, you need to weigh sugar; over here, you need to try on clothes; and you also have to prevent someone from stealing things when you're not looking.

Her gaze swept left and right like a machine gun.

Finally, her gaze stopped when it fell on Lu Zifeng, who was leaning against a big tree and observing her.

They looked at each other without saying a word, only exchanging a smile.

"Boss, hurry up!" the woman weighing the sugar urged.

「好。」乔玲埋头拨动秤砣，又用电子计算器算好帐：「一共3块2毛6分钱，您就给3块2毛5吧，谢谢。」

When she finished collecting the money and looked up again, Lu Zifeng was already standing in front of her.

Lu Zifeng took out a "rabbit head" from his briefcase: "It's a specialty of Jiangping County, you should try it."

The bag of rabbit heads contained two rabbit heads. Qiao Ling took the bag, tore off the packaging, and handed one to Lu Zifeng.

They each took one and started munching on it on the spot.

Throughout the entire process, I didn't ask him what he was doing in Jiangping County, nor did I ask why he said he would be back yesterday, but then changed his mind and only came back today.

After eating half of it, Qiao Ling said, "By the way, Zhou Hai came to the store looking for you yesterday. Didn't you leave him your pager number?"

"No, I'm afraid of being harassed."

"He told you to go to the cannery to see him as soon as you get back."

"What's the rush? I haven't finished eating the rabbit head yet."

Qiao Ling smiled and pulled a piece of tissue paper from under the counter: "Wipe your mouth."

It has been half a month since Zhou Hai and his wife last met with Lu Zifeng, and they have not been able to find any news.

What's even worse is that Lu Zifeng, instead of doing his job, actually left Dong County and disappeared for several days.

Zhou Hai believes that this attitude should be corrected.

Lu Zifeng rode his bicycle and easily arrived at the gate of the cannery.

The security guard was new, and according to procedure, he had to stop outsiders and ask questions: "Who are you?"

"I am Lu Zifeng, the one who sent your former factory director Wu Fucheng to jail. I'm here today to see your current factory director."

Security guard: "..."

Jiang Ce walked in through the gate, his hands covered in grease and carrying a wrench.

"Brother Feng, what brings you here?"

"Zhou Hai wants to talk to me about something."

"Huh? What do he have to talk to you about?"

Jiang Ce was filled with doubts. If Lu Zifeng sent Zhou Hai back to jail, things would get interesting.

After registration, Jiang Ce led Lu Zifeng into the factory.

Lu Zifeng grew up in a cannery, so he was very familiar with every plant and tree there.

When the two walk together, they inevitably reminisce about their childhood.

For Jiang Ce, his childhood was ten years ago.

But for Lu Zifeng, his childhood was almost half a century ago.

As people get older, their memory declines, but their childhood memories become clearer and clearer.

"I mentioned resigning to my dad," Jiang Ce sighed.

"And then you got beaten up?"

"It's been a long time since I've been hit."

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer."

Lu Zifeng didn't want to force Jiang Ce. There would be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, and the cannery would only close down in the next couple of years. There was no need to cause a rift between Jiang Ce and his father.

Jiang Ce said, "Do you know why I brought up resigning?"

Lu Zifeng laughed and said, "Don't you think I'm different from before?"

Jiang Ce shook his head: "No, I just feel that Gu Quan is different from before."

Lu Zifeng patted Jiang Ce on the shoulder and advised, "Sharpening your axe won't delay your work. Take some time to read the news and newspapers. You'll accumulate knowledge and skills, and eventually, you'll have a chance to use them."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the foot of the administration building.

"I won't go up with you. Just let me know if you need anything," Jiang Ce said, and walked back towards the factory gate.

Lu Zifeng familiarly arrived at the second floor and pushed open the door to the factory director's office.

Zhou Hai was writing furiously when he looked up and saw Lu Zifeng. He gestured with his chin toward the sofa and said, "Sit down for a while."

Lu Zifeng didn't say anything, plopped down on the sofa, and casually picked up a newspaper from the rack to read.

Coincidentally, it was Lin Siyan's newspaper office.

However, I didn't see the article Lin Siyan intended to use, but I did see the article written by Du Heng and Tang Guo as reporters.

I sat there for half an hour.

Lu Zifeng remained unusually calm; he didn't even lift his eyelids when Zhou Hai didn't speak.

Finally, Zhou Hai put down his pen and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Lu Zifeng then put away the newspaper and said, "Director Zhou, I told you last time that people who can compete with your wife for a warehouse must have assets worth tens of thousands. It's normal that I can't find people in that class."

Zhou Hai sneered: "Someone who could lure He Cheng into this mess and bring down a factory manager, doesn't have this much power? I don't believe it."

Lu Zifeng put the newspaper on the return rack and said, "Director Zhou, Brother Zhou, please don't make fun of me. I was able to bring down Wu Fucheng purely because he has a stupid nephew."

Zhou Hai picked up the teacup on his desk and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface: "Your sister-in-law went to play mahjong with Director Chen's wife from the supply and marketing cooperative. If she wins, that's fine, but if she loses, she'll come back complaining."

Lu Zifeng was taken aback by this and asked, "Is the factory director's wife very familiar with Director Chen's wife?"

"We know each other very well!" Zhou Hai nodded emphatically.

Lu Zifeng walked to Zhou Hai's desk, picked up Zhou Hai's pen, and wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of paper.

"This is my pager number. Call me directly if you need anything. Don't go looking for Qiao Ling anymore."

After speaking, Lu Zifeng opened the door to the factory director's office.

As he reached the door, he turned back to Zhou Hai and said, "Actually, whether or not I bring down Wu Fucheng, it won't affect my ability to make money. The main problem is that he's threatening me."
