Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
"Speaking of which, this idea was actually your husband's, so you'd better keep a close eye on him from now on. Whenever people wanted to buy something, they would choose to go to Zhang Jing's place because the goods there were only 10% more expensive. The others knew what the situation was tonight; they were all there to help Sun Qiang and were afraid of an awkward situation.
Actually, the outcome we have today is entirely related to Liu Ning. Back then, he recalled the situation before the Great Cataclysm. Since wild chickens taste better than domesticated ones, he instructed the patrol members to bring back some grass or other plants, as long as they weren't synthetic feed. Bringing these back didn't cost much, and they could just be thrown into the chicken farm. It turned out to be a pretty good idea; at least the eggs we get here taste better than those from other places.
"Speaking of which, this idea was actually your husband's, so you'd better keep a close eye on him from now on. Your husband isn't just good at cultivation; he's also good at all sorts of random things. Everyone who comes from our gathering point speaks highly of your husband. And your supermarket is great too. I heard it was your husband's idea back then, and it's already become a system around here. Everyone thinks of your place first when they want to buy something."
What Brother Zhang said was true. Whenever people wanted to buy something, they would choose to go to Zhang Jing's place because the goods there were only 10% more expensive. One advantage of going there was that it was relatively safe. Once inside, there was no need to worry about being attacked. If it were other supermarkets, people would also be attacked while shopping. Other owners simply didn't have the ability to set up armed guards around their supermarkets, and some gangs would specifically wait to rob people who went in. These were all unavoidable things, but none of these things ever happened at Zhang Jing's supermarket.
Hearing Zhang Ge say that, Zhang Jing felt a little embarrassed. She had only achieved a little success and didn't deserve such praise from these people.
Liu Ning wanted to say a few more words, but then the door opened, and his uncle's family of four entered. Liu Ning, who was about to speak, swallowed the rest of his words. The others knew what the situation was tonight; they were all there to help Sun Qiang and were afraid of an awkward situation. If things went smoothly, their mission for tonight would be accomplished. Although Liu Ning didn't stand up, the people around him began to invite his uncle's family to sit down. These people were all soldiers, with a much higher social status than ordinary people, so his uncle's family didn't dare to cause trouble and obediently sat down in their assigned seats.
Liu Ning wanted to say something to provoke his uncle, but seeing his mother's expectant eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words. If he upset his mother, he would be an unfilial son. He was supposed to deal with Sun Qiang today, but he didn't want to make things worse. It wouldn't do him any good, and it wouldn't do Sun Qiang any good either.
Liu Ning observed that the four people were basically the same as before. As soon as his uncle and aunt entered the room, they started looking around at all the different furnishings. As for his sister-in-law, she was dressed like a prostitute. If they weren't sitting in a private room like this, many people outside might have misunderstood.
The others didn't say much, just chatting about their own things. The uncle's family felt a little awkward. If they praised this guy too much, who knew what might happen later? The uncle, being the kind of person who would readily climb the social ladder, wouldn't give such a person any chance. So when the uncle was about to speak to Liu Ning, Liu Ning immediately changed the subject, not giving him a chance to speak or show off his status. He wanted to make him realize that in this kind of dinner party, he was insignificant, so he would be more careful when speaking later.
Just then, Luo Dong came in, and Liu Ning went over to talk to him. This guy had been living a good life lately. Ever since Liu Ning bought a lot of meat from his father-in-law, Luo Dong's status in his father-in-law's eyes had risen very high. You know, the amount of meat Wangcai eats every day is astronomical, exceeding their original daily turnover. If it weren't for Liu Ning, how could they have such an opportunity? So the whole family treats Luo Dong very well.
Liu Ning chatted with Luo Dong for a few minutes, and soon the restaurant manager came in. Since almost everyone had arrived, the manager asked if the food could be served. Wei Xiong and the others went to sit at another table, where some of Liu Ning's family members were seated. After all, there were many things you were going to talk about that others might not want to hear, so it was better to separate. This was also Zhang Jing's idea. Liu Ning's original thought was that everyone could sit at one table, but Zhang Jing had considered things more carefully and thought it was better to separate.
The food was served quickly, and Liu Ning patiently toasted with his uncle and cousin. To be honest, if it weren't for Sun Qiang's matter, Liu Ning would rather never have anything to do with these people for the rest of his life. Although they were all sitting at the same table, Liu Ning could tell that his cousin Ya Qing was also unwilling to deal with his father and brother. Even your daughter is unwilling to expose you, let alone others. As your nephew, being able to sit at the same table with you is really giving you face. Considering the heartless things you did in the past, being able to sit here and eat is a great act of tolerance.
However, Liu Ning also noticed that whenever he toasted with his uncle, his mother would always have a smile on her face. Liu Ning knew very well that even if things weren't going well, his mother was still his own brother and was now thinking of helping him out. However, he was hesitant to provide too much financial assistance to his uncle's family because of his son. Liu Ning was very clear about this, so he just considered it his way of fulfilling his filial duty.
"Let me say a few words. The reason I'm holding this banquet today is because I'm going to the ancient ruins in a couple of days. There might be some dangers there, and nobody knows what the future holds. So, I want to finalize something: my cousin and Sun Qiang's relationship. My cousin has watched me grow up, and I know her very well. Sun Qiang has been a brother to me for a long time; they're both good people. They've already got their permits, and all that's left is the banquet. If there are no objections, let's finalize this today..."
