In another corner of the city, the Zhou family!
“Boss, I’ve heard that business is not doing well recently. Two forces have surged into the city. One of them has a powerful backer, while the other is like a dark horse charging out of nowhere. These two forces have directly struck down the Zhou family’s monopoly business in this area.”
The forces that came menacingly were some of the normal businesses that Gu Ting had sprung up in order to launder the money he had previously used to open his casino. The person who was like a dark horse silently occupying a piece of land was Yun Xi.
The arrival of these two forces brought about a new atmosphere for the development of the city. With competition, there would be development, but at the same time, the requirements for businesses became even harsher.
In order to clean up the dirty money in Gu Ting’s hands as soon as possible, the newly developed supermarkets often offered discounts and promotions. If the Zhou family’s supermarket chain did not lower the prices of its products, it was very likely that the sales would be stagnant.
However, once it fell to the same price as Gu Ting, the Zhou family would not earn much. If they encountered some food with a particularly short shelf life, they might even face the risk of losing money.
This was the case for the supermarket business, and it was the same for other businesses.
“I also feel it. I’ve been meeting with the company’s senior management to discuss this matter these few days.”
The Zhou family’s eldest son was also worried.
“If we can’t maintain this situation with our family’s strength, we can find someone to cooperate with. Look at Zhou Mo and Yun Lian’s divorce. Why don’t we find a suitable marriage partner for him now? With the combination of the two strong families, we might have a chance to survive in the current market!” Qian Yun suggested.
“You don’t have to trouble yourself to arrange other blind dates for me. For the girl called Shi Qi last time, I think she looks okay. Let’s start with this person.”
Zhou Mo no longer had any right to speak, and he also had his own selfish motives. He had been a rich Young Master born with a silver spoon in his mouth since he was young, and he was even more extravagant when he grew up.
The reason why he was so unrestrained was that his father’s business was doing very well. However, with the gradual development of the economy, the emergence of many new industries, as well as the emergence of many new forces, the Zhou family’s business was not as good as before.
Zhou Mo also wanted to maintain his image as a noble Young Master, to maintain a life that did not need to consider money. Therefore, he could still consider a business marriage. Even if Zhou Mo had someone in his heart, he still had to maintain his living environment first before he could think of other things.
“This little girl’s family background is not particularly outstanding compared to others, but the daughter of this aquatic product tycoon is also worthy of my son. The main reason is that this little girl is a straight-A student. Presumably, the new offspring of our Zhou family must be very smart.”
Qian Yun picked up Shi Qi’s photo and studied it over and over again. She felt that this little girl’s features could be considered delicate and pretty. After a comprehensive evaluation, she could also be considered a marriage partner.
Thus, Qian Yun was prepared to find the previous introducer to act as a bridge between the two, allowing the two to meet and get to know each other.
Zhou Mo actually had his own selfish reasons for choosing Shiqi. Zhou Mo found out that this girl named Shi Qi was from the same school as Yun Xi. They were even roommates.
He could discuss the marriage with Shi Qi at the same time. This way, the two families could help each other through the current economic crisis. Moreover, he could also find out about Yun Xi’s every move from Shi Qi.
Qian Yun did not know that Zhou Mo was thinking so much. After discussing the marriage partner, she went to discuss the current economic crisis with the Zhou family’s eldest son.
After experiencing a marriage-in-law family like Yun Lian’s, she now felt that every little girl was very good. Whoever Zhou Mo married could make her feel at ease.
