The drugging incident at the dinner party was quickly resolved. Ren Wenqiang was kicked out of Wanxiang Group, and Xu Lang was also given administrative sanctions. This result was a heavy blow to Xu Lang and Ren Wenqiang. With an administrative sanction on his back, Xu Lang's future promotion path was almost blocked. And Ren Wenqiang was kicked out by Wanxiang Group, and he also lost everything that made him proud.
If they hadn't wanted to fix Xia Lei, Ren Wenqiang and Xu Lang both had bright prospects and would not have fallen into the bad situation they are in today, so why bother
There is an old saying that goes well: If God does evil, you can still do it; if you do evil yourself, you can't live.
This sentence could not be more appropriate to apply to Ren Wenqiang and Xu Lang.
This incident didn't have a big impact on Xia Lei. He went to and from work as usual and dealt with the company's affairs during working hours. After get off work, he followed Liang Siyao to her house to learn Wing Chun. He will also think about how to get Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company out of the role of a vassal processing for others, and research and create a patented product belonging to Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, but the progress is negligible. No matter how hard he tried, he always stayed at the level of conception and could hardly go any further.
On the other hand, Xia Lei did not reply to Chi Jingqiu immediately. However, Chi Jingqiu called him several times to ask how he was thinking about it, but he was not in a hurry.
The only thing that made him happy was that the supermarket plan was progressing smoothly. After Qin Xiang used the supplier information he had obtained to master the purchase channels, prices and settlement methods of other supermarkets, as soon as he contacted and negotiated, there were already Several suppliers are willing to sign long-term cooperation contracts. Those suppliers also said that the early payment is not a problem and the payment can be settled one month later. The other party also wants to establish a good long-term cooperative relationship with Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company in this way.
Qin Xiang contacted and negotiated with the supplier, and Xia Lei signed the contract and stamped it with his official seal. The decoration workers also came and started decorating in full swing. Install lifts, lay floor tiles, install lighting and monitoring, etc. Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company is indeed short of money when purchasing goods, but it can still afford to renovate a supermarket.
The decoration of the supermarket is not complicated, it just needs to be clean and tidy. In fact, it does not cost a lot of money or much time. As soon as the floor tiles are laid and the roof is completed, suppliers from all walks of life rush in to occupy the best locations in the supermarket to distribute their goods. Some special products also come with their own containers and salesmen to provide door-to-door service...
In this way, Xia Lei was so involved in big and small things that he almost forgot about Chi Jingqiu's order.
Half a month later.
Crack, crackle, crackle...
A string of 100,000 firecrackers exploded on the sidewalk, smoke filled the air, and confetti flew everywhere. The Mei Zhimei Supermarket belonging to the Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company was born.
There were no special guests, only various suppliers and people from Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, but the scene was very lively because the supermarket had not officially opened yet, and the door was crowded with customers waiting to go in and shop. These customers are all residents of nearby communities, there are hundreds of them, and they all come for the 20% off discount on all products as part of the opening offer.
The 20% discount offered by Midea Supermarket is a genuine 20% discount. Take a piece of Mengniu Milk Deluxe as an example. Other stores sell it for 60 yuan a piece, but you can buy it at Midea for only 48 yuan. A piece of milk can save you twelve yuan. Who wouldn't want to go shopping? You know, it is not the young people who often shop in supermarkets, but the housekeepers and aunts who are willing to go an extra mile in order to save two cents.
After shopping for the first time, they will become long-term customers here when they know that the products at Meizhimei Supermarket are cheaper than elsewhere. Midea does not have to pay space rent, and no supermarket can compete with it on price. Therefore, from the moment it opened, it was destined to replace the surrounding supermarkets and become the most popular supermarket in the area.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the supermarket staff opened the entrance, and hundreds of customers poured in. The scene was very lively.
Looking at this gratifying scene, Xia Lei also had a smile on his face, "Everything is fine, I just think the name of Mei Zhimei Supermarket is beautiful..."
Qin Xiang interrupted Xia Lei and rolled his eyes at Xia Lei, "Didn't you let me take full responsibility? I like this name and I want this name."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "I didn't say the name was bad, it just reminded me of your hair salon."
Qin Xiang looked at the sign at the entrance of the supermarket with a somewhat sentimental look, "This name is a commemoration of my hair salon. It represents my past."
If Xia Lei hadn't appeared, he would still be living under the control of Huang Yihu, and his mother would not have money for chemotherapy. Those days were very bad, but even the worst days were his past and a part of his life that could not be cut off.
"Is Auntie's condition getting better?" Xia Lei asked.
Qin Xiang said: "The first course of treatment has been completed and the condition is not bad. The doctor said that once her tumor becomes smaller, she can perform resection surgery."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "That's good. If you have nothing to do, spend more time with your aunt."
"Well." Qin Xiang suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, what you asked me to do has already been figured out."
Xia Lei's heart moved, "Are you talking about Chi Jingqiu's side?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "In the past few days, I asked Alan to help me keep an eye on her during the day, and I kept an eye on her myself at night. Before last night, she was normal. She went to the mall after work and occasionally dated other men at night. But last night she drove to a place, do you know where she went? "
Xia Lei shook his head, "I don't know, just tell me."
Qin Xiang said: "She went to the Qunying Club."
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment. Qunying Club is the property of the Gu family. Why would Chi Jingqiu go to Qunying Club at this time
"She was very careful when she went there and chose the time at ten o'clock at night." Qin Xiang said, "This is not normal."
Xia Lei said: "Did you find anything else?"
Qin Xiang shrugged, "You know where the Qunying Club is. I didn't dare to follow her after she drove in. Who she met in the Qunying Club and what she talked about, I can't find out."
The Gu family was a family that started under the underworld. Their strength and strict precautions were beyond the reach of Huang Yihu and his ilk. The Gu family could make Huang Yihu hang himself to death without any explanation, and they could also make a person who infiltrated disappear without explanation.
After a moment of silence, Xia Lei said: "You did the right thing, don't rush into the Gu family's place. Let's end this matter. There is no need to follow Chi Jingqiu anymore."
Qin Xiang said with some worry: "Chi Jingqiu is a very insidious girl. Be careful. I suggest you stop cooperating with her. The supermarket has opened. Making millions a year is not a problem. Take this money." It’s almost as good as buying insurance and giving bonuses to workers. Do you understand what I mean? Don’t work too hard.”
"I know, I will handle this matter properly. Go and do your work." Xia Lei was still thinking about Chi Jingqiu's visit to the Qunying Club. For some reason, he vaguely smelled a hint of danger. .
"Okay, I'm going. Give it back to you."
"What?"
But he saw a wallet magically appearing in Qin Xiang's hand. Xia Lei saw clearly that it was actually his wallet!
"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Qin Xiang put the wallet in Xia Lei's hand, twisted her waist and walked away.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Why would he think of teaching me how to steal? Do I need to learn such a method? Really... "
Back in the office, Liang Siyao was not in the office. Xia Lei sat at his desk and took out the information Chi Jingqiu gave him and read it again. He thought for a while and finally took out his mobile phone and called Long Bing.
"Ms. Long, there's something..."
"Bang bang bang!" Three gunshots suddenly came from the mobile phone.
Xia Lei was suddenly startled and said anxiously: "What happened? Are you okay?"
Only then did Long Bing's voice come from the phone, "It's okay, I'm shooting at the shooting range."
Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
"You seem to be worried about me." Long Bing smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xia Lei said: "Do you know this woman Chi Jingqiu?"
"I know, secretary of Ning Yuanshan, chairman of Dongfang Heavy Industries, why are you asking me this?"
"It's like this. She came to me half a month ago and said she wanted to cooperate with me, and then she gave me..." Xia Lei told the whole story, and finally said: "The parts she wanted me to process were all Ultra-precision parts, I don’t know what they are used for. In addition, my friend found out that she went to the Gu family’s Qunying Club last night, and I am worried that there is something wrong with it. Can you help me check, she asked me to process it What exactly are the parts used for?”
Long Bing was silent for a moment before saying, "What are you worried about?"
Xia Lei said: "I'm worried that these parts have the same purpose as China Industrial Group, which is military use. In this case, I have to find out who they are processing for, otherwise I will be tricked and I won't know what happened."
For military purposes, it doesn't matter if it is processed for the military units of China. The terrible thing is that it is not a military unit of China. At that time, if a label of treason is slapped on it, even if it does not die, it will lose a layer of skin!
Long Bing said in a low voice: "Can you send me a copy of the information on the parts she asked you to process?"
"Can I take a photo and send it to your email address?" Xia Lei said.
Long Bing thought for a moment, "No, you'd better send it to me in person."
"Ah?" Xia Lei said in surprise: "Send it to you personally?"
Long Bing said: "If it is an overseas force, your mobile phone may have been monitored. If you send me information, it may be intercepted. If you send it in person, I will have someone pick you up now. You can provide the tickets and other information." Don’t worry.”
"This..." Xia Lei regretted calling her. The company had just begun to operate and the supermarket had just opened. At this juncture, he, the boss, had gone to Kyoto. Who was taking charge here
"Don't think about it, this is no small matter, you know what I mean." Long Bing's tone was stern.
Xia Lei sighed, "Okay, I'll wait for your people to come over in the office."
After ending the call, Liang Siyao walked in from the door. She was holding two large shopping bags in her hands, containing vegetables, meat, and a lot of condiments. She was a foodie.
"It's so cheap. I wanted to buy some, but I couldn't get it. I wanted to call Li to come over and help me get the things in the supermarket just now." Liang Siyao looked very happy.
"Why did you buy so many vegetables?"
"I'll sell it to you for cooking." Liang Siyao said with a smile: "Both my dad and I like to eat the food you cook. Today you come home with me and cook a big meal. Haha, I feel so happy just thinking about it."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't work today. Long Bing asked me to go to Kyoto. I was just about to tell you that the company will ask you to look after me while I'm away."
"What are you going to Kyoto for?"
"You know about Chi Jingqiu's order. I suspect there is something wrong. I called Long Bing just now and she said the matter was serious and asked me to send the information..." Xia Lei briefly explained what happened. one time.
Liang Siyao sighed depressedly, "It's really unlucky. I bought so many vegetables. If my dad asked me to cook, he wouldn't force me to death!" After a pause, she suddenly said: "No, I'm not going to do it now." Call Qin Xiang and ask him to return it to me."
Xia Lei, "..."
