Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1599: Chapter 1599: Storm Approaching

”Go answer the phone! It’s probably your mom again!” Tian Niu got up to help An Hao clean up the bowls and chopsticks.

”Okay!” Gu Shuangshuang lazily shuffled over to the phone, picked it up with a gentle ”Hello,” then handed it over to An Hao, ”It’s for you!”

”For me?”

”An Ping is looking for you.”

An Hao quickly washed her hands under the tap and then ran to take the call: ”An Ping! How come you’re calling here?”

”Sis, because I’m at your place!” An Ping’s voice was filled with excitement, ”I was originally coming over to share some exciting news with you! But you weren’t home, and I just couldn’t contain my eagerness, so I asked Auntie for Sister Shuangshuang’s home number to give you a call.”

”Good news? What is it? Is there any news from Qiushu?” An Hao asked.

”Not entirely.” An Ping’s voice trembled with excitement, ”I have to say, I’m impressed by you and Sister Qiushu. You guys have made this guy look at you in a new light. You guessed it right! Guan Qing is cornered like a rat, she must have hired someone to smash our vegetable company. We had people on the lookout, and as soon as the other party arrived, we let them smash things, then secretly called the police. The police came and nabbed them all at once. Hahaha!”

Thinking back to those people getting thwarted makes An Ping feel utterly relieved.

”Great. That’s fantastic! Don’t worry about the damaged stuff. We’ll put it all on Guan Qing’s tab.”

”Among these guys this time, I even spotted the one who injected laxatives into the vegetables! It looks like Guan Qing can’t absolve herself from the mass diarrhea incident in the military either.”

”You’re right!” Guan Qing also meddled and caused trouble last time over Hen Zhiyuan’s promotion, ”Now we can settle both new and old scores together.”

”But unfortunately, their little leader Wang Jiu got away!” Guan Ping had fought with him before.

”What? Him again? Why does he keep lingering like an unwelcome spirit??” An Hao frowned.

”But no worries. The police say this guy keeps committing crimes and must be dealt with severely! They assured that they will catch and bring him to justice!”

”That’s good news.” An Hao sighed with relief, ”It seems like the situation is slowly turning around.”

”Yeah. I met Sister Qiushu. She told me to tell you that tomorrow there will be an exciting show to watch! Make sure you don’t miss it, or you’ll regret it!”

”Don’t worry! I’ll keep my eyes peeled and watch closely.”

.....................

The next morning, Guan Qing woke up from a hangover, only to find herself alone in bed.

By the bed, Hen Zhiyuan had left a note saying he needed to clear his mind and would be gone for a few days.

Guan Qing got out of bed, flustered and disoriented, skipped breakfast, and headed straight to the office.

Just as she sat down, Secretary Zhang burst in like a bombshell, not even catching his breath, and slammed a newspaper in front of her: ”Boss, take a look! Our Nanguofeng is finished!”

Guan Qing snatched the newspaper and almost had a stroke – photos of dead rats, bugs, nails, stones, and glass shards found in their shop’s food were published in the Nancheng Morning Newspaper!

It’s a newspaper that almost every household reads!

This publication spells the doom for Nanguofeng! Her effort! Her hard work! It’s going to be ruined!

”Boss, there’s even more troublesome news...” Secretary Zhang looked at her, hesitating to continue.
