Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Dealing with Joy Soon Loy?

Cheng Su thought hard and harder, finding Old Song’s words increasingly reasonable, especially since she knew that the future price of real estate and storefronts was bound to soar. The only uncertainty was whether Luh Kai’s uncle was willing to sell.

No matter the outcome, Cheng Su still made a call to Luh Kai to express her intention to buy the shop.

Luh Kai seemed surprised but agreed to inquire about his aunt’s family’s thoughts on the matter.

Cheng Su was in no rush. While waiting for news, she resumed her back-and-forth routine between the restaurant and the office, barely spending any time at home during the day.

During this time, Ning Ge, who was far away in Beijing, called her. He and Wang Bo had secured several long-term cooperation orders and specific supply and sales points, which delighted Cheng Su.

What their company was lacking now was long-term cooperative clients. With such clients, why worry about the business not finding its market?

While things were going smoothly for Joy Soon Loy, its competitor was not looking so good, particularly when they learned that Joy Soon Loy Jam had made it onto the tables of foreign guests. Wan Fuyu could not sit still and even went as far as to throw a tantrum at the conference table.

Gu Lijuan was confused. Their Friendly company also produced many food items, some of which were well-known. Why was the boss so fixated on competing with Joy Soon Loy over jam?

”In terms of reputation, Joy Soon Loy is far behind us, Friendly. Although we are slightly inferior in jam, when compared to other jams, we are much better. I don’t understand why you...” Gu Lijuan said with a veiled expression.

Wan Fuyu cast a nonchalant glance at her and said, ”Being slightly inferior is still inferior. Now, I see it’s not just slightly; Joy Soon Loy Jam has far surpassed our Friendly. Why? Because they can be served to foreign guests, can we? With time, can Friendly still hold up?”

Gu Lijuan couldn’t help but retort, ”One of the reasons is that they have such networking resources!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had misspoken, because Wan Fuyu’s expression had turned as terrible as the bottom of a pot.

”...That’s not what I meant. Our company shouldn’t only chase after one product. As a food company, we can develop better and not rely solely on this,” Gu Lijuan urged, but the more she spoke, the more she felt she was making a mistake.

Wan Fuyu remained silent as a knock came at the door.

”Come in!”

Gu Lijuan straightened up and looked towards the door. A man with a pale, sinister face entered, causing her expression to darken slightly.

This was the wife of the boss’s brother, Liu Weiguang, who had been appointed as a marketing manager. He was known for his unscrupulous ideas.

”Brother-in-law, I’ve come up with an idea to deal with Joy Soon Loy!” Liu Weiguang, casting a contemptuous look at Gu Lijuan, excitedly said to Wan Fuyu.

Gu Lijuan frowned—was this another one of his devious schemes?

”Speak!”

”This...” Liu Weiguang deliberately glanced at Gu Lijuan.

What did this mean? Gu Lijuan’s face turned purple, and her hands clenched at her sides.

Wan Fuyu looked over and said, ”Go make me a cup of tea and bring it here. We’ll talk later!”

Gu Lijuan wore a displeased expression, lightly responded with an acknowledgment, and walked out in her high heels. Of course, she didn’t miss Liu Weiguang’s provocative and triumphant gaze, which seemed to suggest she was shameless.

Gu Lijuan bit her lower lip. The moment the door closed behind her, she heard Liu Weiguang talking about the quality of jam or something similar, causing her brow to furrow even more.
