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

The Su family.

Su Yan inquired with Su Min about the process and details of the auction that day.

He didn't say anything.

In his view, Lu Zifeng, though young, was indeed a formidable opponent.

Moreover, in the warehouse dispute, Su Min was in the open, while Lu Zifeng was in the shadows. It wasn't until the auction that Su Min was caught off guard by Lu Zifeng's sudden appearance, and there's not much to say about her loss.

Su Yan said to Zhou Hai earnestly, "Minmin has an impatient personality, so try to persuade her more."

Zhou Hai gave a bitter smile from the bottom of his heart.

Didn't I try to persuade them?

You'll have to be able to persuade your daughter!

Su Yan then asked, "From what you just said, Lu Zifeng is planning to take over the warehouse and convert it into a retail store? What will he sell?"

Su Min sneered, "He's already cut off the supply and marketing cooperative's resources, what else can he sell?"

Su Yan sighed deeply: "Foolish!"

Su Dong leaned closer and asked the old man, "I think my eldest sister's strategy of cutting off the enemy's supply lines is sound, right? Dad, you're not really going to make peace with that Lu fellow, are you?"

Su Min was touched to hear that her second brother was on her side.

In critical moments, it's those with blood ties who you can truly rely on.

Su Yan said, "You should have cut off the supply when he was almost finished with the renovations; that would have been a decisive move. You're doing it too early, and he'll definitely contact other suppliers beforehand. This tactic of yours will only make enemies and won't do you any good."

Su Dong suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Dad, I noticed that Lu Zifeng seems to be quite familiar with the people at Huacai Electrical Appliances. Could it be that he's also going to get into the electrical appliance business? Should we talk to the people at Huacai and say that if they don't supply Lu Zifeng, we'll give Huacai a better spot?"

Su Yan chuckled awkwardly, "Here we go again. I've told you before, I don't object to dealing with Lu Zifeng, but it absolutely cannot be at the expense of Huidong Department Store. Unless Lu Zifeng's store has a clear conflict of interest with Huidong Department Store."

Su Dong explained, "No, Dad, I've recently heard that many customers have been inquiring about Huacai TVs. I was thinking of moving Huacai's display case to the front. It's a favor, why not?"

Su Yan pondered for a moment and said, "You guys decide what to do."

The business world is like a battlefield, and both he and Lu Zifeng knew that once this feud was formed, it wouldn't be so easy to make peace.

Therefore, it wouldn't be a bad thing to nip this troublesome opponent in the bud.

Afterwards, Su Min held Su Dong's hand and said, "Second brother, I was wrong before. Today I finally understand what it means to be bound by blood."

Su Dong laughed and said, "What are you saying, elder sister? When I was a child, I choked on some clay. If it weren't for you picking it out for me, I would have died twenty years ago."

As he spoke, he glanced in Su Yan's direction.

Su Yan's expression was gentle and serene.

Su Dong knew that his move to ensure family harmony and prosperity was the right one.

But did Mr. Lu really make a mistake in this move?

He was playing chess with retired old men in front of the auto repair shop. He moved a pawn at the start, and then a bunch of old men watched as he moved his pieces, each making their own comments.

In the end, they lost the game. After reviewing the game, everyone agreed that the first move should not have been a pawn move.

This angered Mr. Lu so much that he vowed never to play chess with those old geezers again.

Qiao Ling heard about this from Lu's father while having dinner with the Lu family.

Previously, Qiao Ling would run the shop herself and cook in the back room, which was quite convenient.

But now she has to go to the residential area to oversee the renovations, and often misses the time to prepare meals, so Lu's mother takes the opportunity to invite her to eat at home.

Qiao Ling smiled and said to Mr. Lu, "Then Uncle Lu, whenever you feel like playing chess, I'll play with you."

Mr. Lu was greatly shocked: "You're a girl, and you actually know how to play chess?"

Qiao Ling said, "My dad used to teach me chess, but I'm not very good at it, so Uncle Lu will let me win."

After that, Qiao Ling actually played a few games with Lu's father. Each time, there were three games, and she won one and lost two.

The results are very stable.

Now, besides Lu's mother, even Lu's father privately sighed, "No matter how much money Zifeng can earn in the future, if he can marry Qiao Ling, that will be his good fortune."

Lu Xiaoye would even call Qiao Ling "sister-in-law" in private sometimes.

Upon hearing this address, Qiao Ling would immediately blush and scold Lu Xiaoye, telling him not to talk nonsense.

After all, she didn't know what was really going on in Lu Zifeng's mind.

If a person's heart is truly like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard, and hasn't been fully warmed up, an inappropriate address might backfire and create distance between the two.

Lu Zifeng has been traveling between Dongxian County and the city recently.

In addition to his cathode ray tube business, he also contacted some small factories under the name of New Era Trading Company to help them open up sales channels.

In this respect, Wei Jun made a great contribution.

Of course, Wei Jun also made a lot of money as a result.

While Lu Zifeng was discussing matters with Wei Jun, his pager went off.

He was already very familiar with the newspaper's phone number.

To facilitate business communication, New Era Company also installed a landline phone in its office, making it very convenient to return calls.

"Siyan?"

"Yes!"

"What is it?"

"Are you free to have dinner together tomorrow evening at six o'clock?"

"Uh, how about another day? I should go back to Dong County tomorrow."

"..."

Seeing a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Lu Zifeng switched hands and held the receiver: "If it's just about dinner, any time is fine, how about tonight?"

Lin Siyan whispered, "Well, I'm not even twenty years old yet."

"Oh!" Lu Zifeng understood; it was the little girl's twentieth birthday. He then asked, "Where?"

"At Jiangbai Hotel, you can invite Gu Quan along." Lin Siyan's tone became much lighter.

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zifeng looked at Gu Quan: "I won't be going back to Dong County tomorrow. Lin Siyan has also invited you to her 20th birthday party."

Gu Quan scratched his head, remaining noncommittal.

Lu Zifeng frowned and cursed, "Are you a donkey? She invited you, so why wouldn't she invite other friends?"

Gu Quan's itch immediately stopped, and he retorted, "I was just thinking about what kind of gift would be appropriate."

Oh right, and they even have to give gifts!

Lu Zifeng, this straight-laced guy, never gave a girl a gift in his past life, and he still has no experience in this life.

Wei Jun gave him a suggestion: "If you don't know what to give, just pick something expensive."

Gu Quan suddenly turned to Lu Zifeng and asked, "Brother Feng, didn't you turn twenty two months ago?"

Lu Zifeng suddenly realized, "That's right, I completely forgot I turned twenty! I missed such a great opportunity to receive a gift."

Wei Jun suddenly grinned mischievously: "It's okay, we might be able to make it up tomorrow night."

Lu Zifeng didn't understand, but he felt that Wei Jun's words had a hidden meaning.

He looked at Wei Jun with a strange expression, and Wei Jun stood up to say goodbye: "I won't keep you from thinking about gifts any longer."

"Why don't you eat before you leave?"

"Your tone is too perfunctory, I'm not eating."
