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

Lu Zifeng called out to the people who hadn't yet dispersed outside the door, "Time to collect eggs! Anyone who was here can come in and get one box each."

"Ah?" Qiao Ling felt a pang of heartache.

Her intention was to keep the customers in the store as witnesses, as there weren't many customers in the store at the time.

If we include the people watching outside the store, wouldn't we be losing a lot of money?

"Don't worry," Lu Zifeng said with a smile, ruffling Qiao Ling's hair. "The image of Boss Qiao must be firmly established."

In the afternoon, when there were fewer people around, Lu Zifeng convened a meeting of all employees, highly praising everyone's handling of the crisis that day.

"I think everyone handled it very well, even better than I could have. Especially Sister Ling and Jiang Ce. I won't say anything else, but this month, every employee in the store will get an extra fifty yuan bonus, and Sister Ling and Jiang Ce will each get an extra one hundred yuan."

"Thank you, boss!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Zhong Qin was overjoyed, but still asked, "The store gave away so many eggs today, it must have lost a lot of money, right? And you're still giving us a bonus? Boss Lu is so generous."

Lu Zifeng had already done the math: a box of six eggs costs 1.5 yuan, while the cost is only about 1.2 yuan.

There were only fifty or sixty people inside and outside the store, and the total cost was less than one hundred yuan.

He said with a smile, "Let's keep things separate. The bonus is for our internal employees, and the eggs are a reward for the helpful members of the public. Through this incident, we've built a special kind of relationship and trust with our long-time employers in the neighborhood. They talk about it over tea and after meals, which is like giving us publicity. So, giving away these eggs is not only worthwhile, but also extremely valuable."

Qiao Ling looked at Lu Zifeng and said in a coquettish tone, "I came up with this idea, shouldn't you reward me more?"

Lu Zifeng glanced at the display case and said to Zhong Qin, "Bring me a box of Godiva chocolates and put it on my tab."

"Okay!" Zhong Qin chuckled to herself as she skipped over to get the chocolate.

Because everyone knows what the GG language of Jin Di Chocolate is.

So, Qiao Ling smiled too.

Seeing that the meeting was almost over, Gu Quan felt it was necessary to give Jiang Ce some pointers.

"You've never been ruthless enough in a fight, especially in that situation just now. If it weren't for the helpful crowd surrounding them, they would have run away long ago. Let me tell you, you should at least take one down first, then subdue the other one, and the rest will have to back down."

Jiang Ce had a different opinion: "We're in the right in this matter, but if we go too far, we'll lose our right. We're doing business here, not acting like thugs and fighting each other..."

As they were talking, Jiang Ce suddenly realized something was wrong.

Qiao Ling also realized the problem and looked at Lu Zifeng with a confused expression.

Lu Zifeng kicked Gu Quan in the back of the knee: "You talk too much!"

Qiao Ling felt extremely wronged: "Lu Zifeng, so you guys were back all along! You were hiding and peeking!"

"It's all because I trust everyone!" Lu Zifeng smiled awkwardly, took the chocolate from Zhong Qin, unwrapped it, peeled one himself, and fed it to Qiao Ling's lips: "Here, ah~"

Qiao Ling smiled enigmatically and took a bite.

"Ouch, my hand!"

In the afternoon, Lu Zifeng, as the actual person in charge of New Era Self-Service Supermarket, went to the police station.

Because they were so familiar with each other, he went directly to Wang Jianguo's office and asked those people if they had confessed to the mastermind behind it all.

Although Lu Zifeng could guess that the mastermind was the Su family, he needed to obtain evidence if he wanted to fight back.

Wang Jianguo did not answer Lu Zifeng's question, but instead circled around Lu Zifeng, sizing him up, and pondered to himself:

Has this kid done anything wrong?

Otherwise, why would they dare to come to the police station on their own initiative!

So what did Lin Shouyi, the criminal investigator from the city, mean by asking those questions?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lu Zifeng felt uncomfortable under Wang Jianguo's gaze.

"It's nothing." Wang Jianguo didn't want to alert the enemy, so he didn't mention Lin Shouyi.

Back in his seat, Wang Jianguo brought up the topic of what had happened at noon.

"They confessed, but it's useless. They said a thug in the city paid them to do something. I can only confirm that they framed them and handle it according to the public security regulations: fines and detention. As for the city, even if you report it, since you haven't suffered any financial loss or physical harm, I guess... you know."

Lu Zifeng nodded and said with some emotion, "Old Wang, it's not easy for us young brothers to do some legitimate business. We're all so familiar with each other, so please bear with us and help us out."

Wang Jianguo smiled and said, "Protecting the lives and property of the people is our duty."

Having said that, Lu Zifeng didn't want to bother Wang Jianguo any longer, so he got up, offered him a cigarette, and said, "Then I'll be going now. By the way, how many days will these guys be detained?"

As soon as Wang Jianguo took the cigarette, he pointed the butt at Lu Zifeng and warned, "Don't do anything reckless!"

"Heh~" Lu Zifeng said nothing more, patted his butt and left.

Because this false accusation incident caused quite a stir, the news spread like wildfire, and even the supply and marketing cooperative heard about it.

After dinner, Lu's mother held Qiao Ling's hand and said, "Xiao Ling, I'm so sorry to have put you through this."

"Auntie, it's okay. I think Zifeng is right. A person only grows by experiencing things."

Lu's mother then looked at Lu Zifeng: "This matter has nothing to do with the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"

Lu Zifeng laughed and said, "I guarantee it has absolutely nothing to do with the supply and marketing cooperative."

"That's good, saves me from being caught in the middle."

As they were talking, Lu Xiaoye and Lu Zhenzhen returned with their final exam results.

Lu Zhenzhen slammed the two test papers in front of Lu Zifeng: "Both perfect scores! Pay up!"

Lu Zifeng didn't hesitate and simply took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and gave it to Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu's mother was startled: "Why did you give your sister so much money?"

Lu Zifeng explained, "We agreed beforehand that I would reward students with a certain amount of money based on their final exam scores."

Lu Xiaoye, who was standing nearby, leaned over and asked, "Do I have one too?"

Lu Zifeng sneered: "You got two perfect scores too?"

Lu Xiaoye shook his head: "One hundred points."

Lu Zifeng frowned, finding it somewhat unbelievable, and asked, "Which department?"

Lu Xiaoye: "Chinese, Mathematics, English."

Lu Zifeng thought for a moment: "These three subjects in your junior high school were scored out of 150, right?"

Lu Xiaoye nodded: "Yes."

"Alright, I don't have high expectations for you. If you get 100 out of 150, there's a reward. So, which subject did you get 100 in?"

"I already said it, Chinese, math, and English, all combined..."

"You son of a bitch..." Lu Zifeng grabbed a broom from the yard and was about to hit Lu Xiaoye when Lu Xiaoye took off running, with Lu Zifeng in hot pursuit.

Lu Zhenzhen hugged her mother's neck and giggled incessantly.

Lu's mother was still a little worried: "Zhenzhen, you must keep all this money safe and don't learn to spend it recklessly."

Lu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'll spend it tomorrow."

Lu's mother slapped her bottom: "You still won't listen, huh?"

Lu Zhenzhen said softly, "I'm planning to buy my older brother a pair of leather shoes. He's been running around for the past six months, and he's worked so hard."

Qiao Ling rubbed Lu Zhenzhen's head and said, "Zhenzhen is such a good girl."

Lu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'll buy a pair for my sister-in-law too!"

Lu's mother also sighed, "Zhenzhen is the most well-behaved child in our family."

Lu Zhenzhen turned her head: "Then buy a pair for Mom too."
