Chapter 1692 1692: A Rotten Apple
Ling Zhenfei glanced at the people coming out and said, "Alright, stop looking and get back to work."
Ling Zhenfei also returned to the office and said to those people, "Bring me all the work Xu Dakai has done these days and let me take a look."
Ling Zhenfei was very worried about what Xu Dakai might have done; if he wasn't careful, he might fall into the situation where Wang Jie was dissatisfied.
But after carefully reviewing all the materials, he found that Xu Dakai hadn't had time to take any action yet, which reassured Ling Zhenfei a lot.
Zhou Yun also arrived at Ling Zhenfei's office, right beside him.
"What exactly is going on?" Zhou Yun was still in a rather confused state.
Ling Zhenfei explained the situation with Xu Dakai, and Zhou Yun felt overwhelmed listening to it.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei discovered it in time. If it hadn't been discovered in time, who knows what might have happened to Ling Zhenfei's Xi Shan Group in the future.
Cooking a meal requires boiling water and chopping wood, but to destroy it, just a single bad apple is enough.
In fact, Ling Zhenfei stumbled upon it by accident. He originally thought it was a very simple matter; Xu Dakai wanted to give Ling Zhenfei a hard time, but he didn't expect so many things to follow.
If it weren't for Huo Jie and his computer skills, Ling Zhenfei's group might have been ruined without knowing what happened.
All of this really broke his heart, and Zhou Yun was also deeply shocked, even showing deep guilt on her face.
Back when Chen Qian was here, Zhou Yun somewhat relied on him, often consulting him for big decisions she couldn't make on her own.
But not everyone is Chen Qian. When Chen Qian left, he probably only knew that Xu Dakai had strong abilities but didn't realize there was such a backstory.
Let's not tell Chen Qian about this; if we do, he might blame himself to death.
But what Xu Dakai said before really gave Ling Zhenfei significant insight.
Baijiu, even if sold well, can never be priced as high as premium red wine.
But that's just one aspect; taking the high-end route is viable, but domestically, most people are quite ordinary, so it's not easy to go high-end.
Ling Zhenfei already had a vague idea in mind: domestically, one must cater to local conditions.
If going abroad, indeed, some special initiatives could be taken.
By the time everything was sorted out, it was already evening, and darkness had fallen completely.
Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun read through all the materials handled by Xu Dakai in the office, which is why it got this late.
Zhou Yun said, "Let's go home; I'll make something delicious for you."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Zhou Yun, always seeing concern for him in her eyes.
How many years had it been? Both of them knew each other's hearts well.
Turning off the lights, the two walked towards their home, following the path down from Xi Shan Group, they reached Fairy Lake.
Qinghe Village now was completely different from the one before; the entire village was like a large park.
By the riverside, there were street lamps with faint light, and the lake water gently lapped against the shore with the breeze.
Looking from afar, one could still see the lights of the Xi Shan Resort Villa.
Zhou Yun said, "It's really surprising that such things could happen to our resort."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The journey here with our Xi Shan Group wasn't easy, being targeted, boycotted, and slandered; developing to this point wasn't easy at all.
Being bullied often comes because one is too small; when we become immensely powerful, no one can bully us like now, who dares to slander the Xi Shan Group?
Is there still anyone saying our restaurant's vegetables are mutated? That silence shows we've grown powerful, for they know nobody would believe them even if they did."
Zhou Yun looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration.
"Zhenfei, I watched you grow up, and sometimes I even admire you; I never thought that the little boy who used to blush looking at me would become a hero admired by everyone."
Ling Zhenfei also looked at Zhou Yun, gently holding her hand.
"Do you know what has supported me till now? It's you. Since I was young, I vowed to provide you the best life, to ensure no one in the village can look down on me, to make you happy."
Zhou Yun looked at Ling Zhenfei, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you, Zhenfei, I'm proud of you."
The two walked hand in hand, soon arriving at their doorstep.
Zhou Yun wiped away her tears and tidied her hair. Even though a lot had happened between them, Zhou Yun didn't want Chunyu to overthink it.
In fact, Ling Zhenfei knew Chunyu was like a little adult; what was there that Chunyu didn't know?
Back home, after eating, Chunyu happily watched TV.
Afterwards, Chunyu blurted out, "Brother, today that beautiful big sister taught me a very interesting cultivation technique."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "Interesting big sister?"
Zhou Yun hurriedly explained, "It was a very pretty girl who brought her dad looking for you; I arranged for them to stay at the resort."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei understood; Zhou Yun was referring to Lu Yunshang and her father Lu Tao.
Chunyu said, "Yes, that sister is really pretty, I found her very beautiful."
Zhou Yun beside them said, "Zhenfei, how do you find this girl? I think she is quite nice, very polite."
Listening to this, Ling Zhenfei laughed and said over the phone, "Sis, you all misunderstood, do you remember that girl Chen Qian always talked about after drinking?"
Zhou Yun was startled and said, "The girl he always mentioned drunkenly?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "That's right, the girl's name is Lu Yunshang, she is Chen Qian's senior, that girl Chen Qian always thought about."
Zhou Yun said somewhat disappointedly, "What a pity, when Chen Qian was at the resort, the girl didn't come, now that Chen Qian has left, she turns up."
"It couldn't be helped; she was always looking for her dad until she found him recently. Let Chunyu get close to them more, there are benefits."
Chunyu said, "That uncle is also quite interesting, I enjoy playing with them."
Knowing Lu Yunshang and her father had come to the resort, Ling Zhenfei felt quite pleased and relieved that they wouldn't have to stay in that cave anymore.
Outside Ling Zhenfei's room was Fairy Lake, the lake wasn't large, you could even see the end with one glance, but when the wind blew, splashes would rise, constantly hitting the water surface.
Water splashes against the shore, over and over, gentle yet overwhelming, the lakeshore wide yet warm.
The night passed without a word, and in the morning, little birds chirped around Ling Zhenfei's windowsill.
Ling Zhenfei opened the curtains and looked outside to see the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree already grown tall in the yard downstairs.
Other trees usually take many years to grow tall, but the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree had grown tall in just a few months.
