Chapter 558: Zhou Xiaolu’s Suspicion

Zhou Xiaolu calmly walked out of the meeting room with the documents in her hands.

She walked away from the door of the meeting room. Holding the documents, she leaned against the wall, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear, “That was scary. Why is he here? Is he friends with our boss?” Zhou Xiaolu thought for a moment and remembered how beautiful Xiao Lingyu was. She said with slight suspicion, “No way. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to my boss?”

At the thought of this, Zhou Xiaolu gritted her teeth and said, “What a horrible man! Our boss is married and has a child, yet he still wants to pursue her? Disgusting!”

“Who are you calling disgusting?” Suddenly, a familiar, sinister voice sounded beside her ear.

Zhou Xiaolu was shocked, and her beautiful eyes widened like copper coins. Zhou Xiaolu staggered a few steps and almost fell down. Her face was red, and she asked with a frightened and uneasy expression, “Are you a ghost? How can you talk without making a sound?”

Yan Siming raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, ‘I haven’t seen this girl for years, but she’s getting bolder. She even dares to yell at me.’ He shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, “I’m wearing leather shoes. My footsteps are loud. So it was you who were so lost in your thoughts that you didn’t hear me walking. What were you thinking about anyway?”

Hearing that, Zhou Xiaolu immediately said with a guilty conscience, “I… I…” Then, seeing his half-smile and mocking expression, she immediately got angry and retorted, “That is none of your business. Move aside. I’m very busy, unlike you, the Big Boss, who has the leisure to stroll around.”

Having said that, she straightened her back and pushed Yan Siming away. Then, she swaggered away. However, her footsteps were hurried. If one looked carefully, one could even notice her nervous gait.

Seeing Zhou Xiaolu like this, Yan Siming shook his head in amusement and said with a helpless smile, “This girl is something else.” Then, he frowned and said with confusion, “Oh right, why is she working here? Can she endure such hardship? Does her family know?”

Yan Siming thought for a moment and wanted to take out his phone to ask. However, at that moment, Zhou Xiaolu suddenly ran back and warned him with a stern and serious expression, “Don’t you dare tell my brother! And you can’t tell the boss about my identity either. If they find out, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Zhou Xiaoru snorted coldly and quickly walked away with her head held high.

Yan Siming, who was holding the phone, paused and looked at the girl in a daze. Then, he shook his head helplessly and put the phone back into his pocket silently.

Xiao Lingyu walked out of the reception room. When she saw Yan Siming, who was still standing near the door, she asked with a puzzled expression, “Brother Yan, what are you looking at?”

Xiao Lingyu looked up and saw Zhou Xiaoru leaving in a hurry.

Yan Siming said with a smile, “I’m just looking around! Look at those old ladies and grandpas. They seem to be going crazy.

“At the door, they said the things here are too expensive. They only wanted to take a look and didn’t want to buy anything. But now, they’re moving faster than anyone else.

“And look, the people around Zeng Yaozu are all the big bosses of some famous food companies in City Z. If you sell your crops in bulk to them, you’ll run out of stock in no time. That’s going to be a problem, isn’t it?” He turned to ask Xiao Lingyu, “Are you going to limit cooperation to a few new partners?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “I am, but I have to be careful to pick reliable partners.”

Yan Siming raised his eyebrows again and immediately said, “I think I can help you with this. I’ll have my secretary send you a copy of the information about all the big bosses in the food industry in City Z. Then you can look through them.”

Yan Siming raised the corner of his mouth and said, “Just remember to pay me back later.”

Xiao Lingyu replied quickly, “Of course. Other than marrying you, I’d repay you any way you want me to!”

“Haha. Xiao Lingyu, I’ll hold you to this promise!” Yan Siming laughed in a good mood. “Don’t worry. I won’t ask you to marry me. Today is your supermarket’s grand opening, so you must be very busy. I won’t take up any more of your time!”

Yan Siming couldn’t stop smiling as he left the supermarket. He was in a good mood!

…

After Yan Siming left, Xiao Lingyu walked around the supermarket like a customer. She heard all kinds of conversations.

“The things in this supermarket are really good. Look, these vegetables are really fresh.”

“Yeah, but the things are too expensive.”

“You’re right. The things on the first floor seem to be half as expensive as the things on the second floor. But the things on the first floor are more expensive than those in the market.”

“But the things on the first floor look much better than those in the market. Plus, we have a 50 percent discount. The prices are similar to the ones in the market. The things on the first floor are cheaper. We should browse around the first floor!” The old lady turned and went down to the first floor.

“But aren’t you going to try the things on the second floor? There’s a 50 percent discount today. Let’s buy some and have a taste. We need to find out what’s so special about them.” An old lady next to her immediately stopped her.

The old lady looked at the vegetables on the second floor and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Okay, I’ll buy some today. But later, I’m still going to the first floor to grab the cheaper variations.”

“Hey, there’s a tasting plate here.” The old lady saw the cut cabbages placed on a plate. “But these are raw. Are they delicious?” There was obvious doubt in her eyes.

At this moment, the staff of that section immediately smiled and explained, “The vegetables here are pure green and organic. They taste good even when raw.

“For example, this cabbage. When eaten raw, it feels tender and sweet. Aunties, why don’t you try it? It’s free anyway. Don’t waste the opportunity!”

These uncles and aunties loved free stuff. Some of them quite gathered around the staff. “Will these cabbages really be tasty eaten raw?”

The supermarket staff smiled and said, “Aunties and uncles, you can try them. If they do not taste delicious, you can complain to me. Plus, we won’t feed you things that you can’t eat!”

“You do make sense. Okay, we’ll try it.” Then, some of the aunties and uncles poked a cabbage stick with toothpicks.

Two aunties and uncles found toothpicks troublesome, so they used their fingers directly.

“Wow, so sweet, so delicious!” Someone exclaimed immediately. After all, the taste couldn’t be deceiving.

“But why is this cabbage so delicious?”

“Raw cabbage tastes good too.”

The staff said with a smile. “It’s because all the vegetables here are pure, pollution-free, and grown with scientific planting technology. Not only do our cabbages taste good, but all the other products also taste amazing too. Of course, there are taste tests in the other sections too. You can go and try them. However, there are vegetables that can’t be eaten raw like taro and potatoes.”

“Girl, you really know how to sell a product!” An elder chuckled.

“Welcome to the free taste test!”

Some aunties bought the cabbages, and then they moved to the next free taste test.

Seeing the performance of her employees, Xiao Lingyu nodded secretly. ‘Mm, they all performed well. Zeng Yaozu has trained them well.’

Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to go down to the first floor to take a look, she saw Mother Xiao carrying Xiao Tong and looking around. Mother Xiao spotted Xiao Lingyu and walked over. “Child, how can you forget to feed your son?”

Xiao Lingyu smiled a little embarrassedly. Then, she took Xiao Tong and went to the office.
