Ling Zhenfei said, "Once the company is registered, we'll talk to each of those companies that cancelled their vegetable orders from our villa one by one. I believe you'll reap a great reward from this."

"Sure, I'll listen to you," Zhou Yun said excitedly, clearly seeing the benefits of doing so.

"By the way, there's a hotel chain company whose boss is called Shi Wen, do you know him? It was you who signed the contract with them initially."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun said, "You must be talking about Fenglin Hotel. It was indeed me who signed the contract, and they cancelled our vegetables along with the Fengming Mountain Villa. How come you're asking about them?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, I got it. You don't have to worry about Fenglin Hotel, leave it to me."

"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

Zhou Yun wanted to hang up the phone but was stopped by Ling Zhenfei.

"Hold on, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

"What is it?" Zhou Yun asked curiously.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "Do you prefer I call you 'Sister' or 'Sister-in-law'?"

His words caught Zhou Yun off guard, and it was a few seconds before she replied, "Then 'Sister-in-law' it is. I've already gotten used to it." After that, Zhou Yun hung up the phone.

Ling Zhenfei smiled faintly and then walked back under the watchful gaze of the three people, including Shi Wen.

"How did it go, Xiao Ling?" Lin Fang asked, full of anticipation.

"Yeah, how did it go?" Jiu Jiu was also very curious.

Ling Zhenfei said with a somewhat gloomy face, "As a matter of fact, Sister Zhou Yun knows all about it. Many companies have approached her already, saying pretty much the same things you did.

But Xishan Manor made a decision a long time ago, which is that none of the restaurants that cancelled with us will be supplied with Xishan Manor's vegetables anymore."

"Ah, that can't be! How can Xishan Manor be like that? They can't just throw a temper tantrum over such a big issue like a child," someone exclaimed.

"Yeah, how can Xishan Manor be so petty? What do we do now? This could spell disaster for our hotel," another voiced their concerns.

Lin Fang and Shi Wen immediately became visibly saddened, their expressions clearly showing their distress. If Ling Zhenfei were not present, they might have broken down into tears.

"Aren't you close to that manager? Can't you put in a word for us?" Jiu Jiu tugged at Ling Zhenfei's arm, also speaking anxiously.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Look at what you're saying. Of course, I spoke up. What's our relationship, after all? I just gave her a good talking-to and convinced her to give you guys another chance."

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, both Shi Wen and Lin Fang got excited, "Does Xishan Manor have any conditions? We can accept any conditions."

"As long as they're not too unreasonable," Lin Fang added.

Ling Zhenfei chuckled inwardly but showed no sign on his face.

"Xishan Manor didn't set forth any conditions; they have to give me face after all, and they've already come up with a perfect solution."

"What solution?" Shi Wen and Lin Fang both asked Ling Zhenfei expectantly.

Ling Zhenfei opened his mouth but said nothing, and after two seconds, he spoke, "Why do I suddenly feel a bit hungry?"

Understanding Ling Zhenfei's implication, Shi Wen hastily said, "No rush, let's eat first. We can talk about this slowly."

"Wife, go and get those two bottles of good wine I've stashed in my study, I want to drink a few good rounds with Xiao Ling today."

Ling Zhenfei was filled up with good wine, and Shi Wen started drinking with him.

"Wifey, see what other good dishes we have and bring a few more. It's not easy for Xiao Ling to come by; we must treat him well."

Shi Wen and Lin Fang kept pouring drinks for Ling Zhenfei and serving him dishes, their enthusiasm was unbounded.

Especially Lin Fang, with a smile on her face and a tenderness in her voice—it was nothing like when Ling Zhenfei first arrived.

If Ling Zhenfei told them right now about his plans to marry Jiu Jiu, they would probably agree without a second thought.

Jiu Jiu watched Ling Zhenfei with a face full of happiness. A man accepted by her own parents was certainly very capable, inspiring great admiration in Jiu Jiu.

After the third round of drinks, Shi Wen curiously asked, "Xiao Ling, how about that matter? What's the perfect solution in the end?"

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "Actually, it's quite simple. Xishan Manor will establish a new sales company, mainly to sell products from Xishan Manor. When the time comes, you just need to get Xishan Manor's vegetables through this sales company."

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, Shi Wen and Lin Fang looked enlightened.

Shi Wen exclaimed in amazement, "Look at my brain, how could I not have thought of that? The contract states 'Xishan Manor,' and now with the sales company changed, the problem is solved. This idea is brilliant."

Lin Fang also sighed, "This idea is really amazing; the people at Xishan Manor are so clever."

Ling Zhenfei spoke, "I will give you Sister Zhou Yun's number. Call her tomorrow; I've already spoken to her. She'll know as soon as you mention it."

Shi Wen looked at Ling Zhenfei with surprise, "Xiao Ling, I feel like you have quite a special relationship with this Zhou Yun. It seems like you're very familiar with Xishan Manor."

In his heart, Ling Zhenfei sneered; if he wasn't familiar with it, no one was—the whole Xishan Manor was his own.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm also very familiar with President Chen of Xishan Manor, so I was able to help you with this matter."

After hearing this, Shi Wen and Lin Fang were utterly shocked, their expressions comical, clearly feeling that they had underestimated Ling Zhenfei before.

The nominal owner of Xishan Manor was now Chen Qian, and he was the one publicized because Ling Zhenfei seldom spent time at Xishan Manor, so most big clients only knew President Chen of Xishan Manor.

Only the employees of Xishan Manor knew that the real boss was Ling Zhenfei, but his intent was to keep himself out of it.

He and Chen Qian's division of labor was such that Chen Qian helped develop Xishan Manor while Ling Zhenfei focused on other aspects.

After the meal, Ling Zhenfei felt it was time to leave, but Shi Wen, in his joy, had drunk a few extra cups and was somewhat tipsy. He insisted on having more drinks with Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei knew that if Shi Wen drank any more, he would be over the limit, so he had to leave.

Shi Wen held Ling Zhenfei's hand, "Xiao Ling, I can see that you're a person of great promise. You must work hard."

"I understand, thank you, Uncle. I will work hard."

Walking out the door, Shi Wen and Lin Fang asked Jiu Jiu to see Ling Zhenfei off.

As he walked out with Jiu Jiu, she started laughing, "I really didn't expect you to be quite resourceful, huh?"

"Resourceful how?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Jiu Jiu, clutching Ling Zhenfei's arm, said, "Of course, winning over my mom and dad. You've made them so happy just now. I really thank you for that."

"It was nothing, but your parents really made me sweat just now. You tell me, how are you going to compensate me? You were the one who asked me to come tonight."

Looking around and seeing no one else nearby, Jiu Jiu leaned in and kissed Ling Zhenfei on the face.
