Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "It's not your fault. Fengming Group clashed with us in Binyang. We didn't expect it to affect the Provincial City. But how did you handle the situation afterward?"

Luo Juan said, "Here's what happened: after analyzing the situation and factoring in those who canceled and those who didn't, I found that the restaurants canceling our orders were all using Fengming Group's catering supplies.

And those who didn't cancel were using supplies from another company. So, I think Fengming Group threatened those major restaurants through their catering supplies."

Ling Zhenfei nodded again, "Your analysis is spot on. Fengming Group did resort to such threats. Now that you know the reason, how did you handle it?"

Luo Juan said, "I had two options: one was to persuade those companies that canceled, using emotions and logic, to convince them to continue using our vegetables.

The second was to develop partnerships with restaurants that couldn't be threatened by Fengming Group to use our vegetables."

Ling Zhenfei agreed, "Yes, your approach was not wrong."

But Luo Juan shook her head, "But I discovered another problem. Those large, high-end restaurants mainly used Fengming Group's catering supplies, so both methods had little effect."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. He hadn't thought such a situation was possible, which really surprised him.

"What are you doing now?"

Luo Juan said, "We settled on targeting upscale restaurants that don't use Fengming Group's supplies. Despite our great efforts, the order volume is only matching the previous level."

Though it was only holding steady, Ling Zhenfei knew Luo Juan must have put in a lot of work. Otherwise, with so many high-end restaurants canceling, it would be very difficult.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "No problem. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. Our Xishan Manor's vegetables are so good, I don't believe no one would like them."

Bai Ling said, "We need to think of a way; otherwise, it will be tough."

Facing such a problem in the early stages of development was really a big blow to Ling Zhenfei. It just proved that Xishan Manor's vegetables were still somewhat niche.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I have a way. Tonight, let's make a big splash in the Provincial City."

Luo Juan, surprised, said, "What are you planning to do?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Don't worry; just wait for my good news."

He asked Bai Ling, "What's the most high-end restaurant in the Provincial City?"

Luo Juan thought for a moment and said, "It should be Xiya or Imperial Court. Why are you asking?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't answer but instead asked, "Are either of these restaurants using our vegetables?"

Pain showed on Luo Juan's face as she said, "Imperial Court initially used our vegetables but has since canceled because of Fengming Group."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "I see. Tonight, we'll go to Xiya. We're going to create a stir."

Although she had no idea what Ling Zhenfei planned to do, Luo Juan and Bai Ling knew something was definitely going to happen.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and then said to Bai Ling, "Tonight, we'll go together. Should we call someone else?"

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call Lin Yi or my brother."

Ling Zhenfei considered it, as he was going as the Divine Doctor, so he decided to call Lin Yi.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and called Lin Yi. Lin Yi quickly answered.

"Divine Doctor Ling, what brings you to call me?" Lin Yi's voice sounded very excited.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I'm in the Provincial City. Didn't you know?"

Lin Yi laughed, "So many people asking me questions, how can I not know? Any instructions, boss?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Nothing big, just that since I'm in the Provincial City, I can't leave without doing something. Tonight, I need you to call a few fan club presidents. I'll treat them at Xiya at eight o'clock."

"Treating them at Xiya? Boss, that's gonna cost you," Lin Yi said excitedly.

"Don't worry about it. Just notify them."

Lin Yi assured, "Rest assured, I'll take care of it."

"Alright, we'll meet at Xiya at eight-thirty."

After they hung up, Bai Ling laughed, "You haven't dined at Xiya, have you? If you go there at eight, you definitely won't have a table."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "That's perfect. I leave this to you. Reserve a large table in the main hall, not a private room."

Bai Ling and Luo Juan were both shocked, "In the main hall? Dining with your fans? You must be trying to cause chaos."

Ling Zhenfei smiled, "Just follow my plan. I have my reasons."

Though Bai Ling didn't understand what Ling Zhenfei was planning, she could only agree at this point.

As Bai Ling called to reserve the table, Ling Zhenfei took out his phone and dialed another number.

A man's voice came through, "Divine Doctor Ling, what can I do for you?"

The voice belonged to Top Paparazzi Brother Gou. That Ling Zhenfei would call him was surprising.

"Nothing much, just wanted to chat," Ling Zhenfei said with a smile.

Brother Gou said, "Boss, stop playing around. We're still waiting on your antidote. If you have instructions, just tell me. We'll do it."

Ling Zhenfei laughed. Brother Gou was sharp, understanding that a call meant something important.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "Nothing major. Tonight, I'm hosting a dinner with fans at Xiya. I want the entire event to be recorded and posted online."

Brother Gou laughed, "Boss, you found the right person for the job."

Ling Zhenfei seriously said, "Listen carefully. I want the event recorded and posted without causing any negative impact on me. Understand?"

Brother Gou said, "Got it, boss. I'll personally review the footage to ensure you're satisfied."

Being called the Top Paparazzi naturally meant Brother Gou had exceptional skills. Ling Zhenfei could trust him, especially with Brother Gou having a handle of his own at the moment, he would be obedient.

After hanging up, Bai Ling returned and said with a smile, "Everything is arranged."

"Then we wait for tonight,"

Though curious, Bai Ling and Luo Juan were anxious to know Ling Zhenfei's actual plan, eager to contribute.

"Ling Zhenfei, what's your plan? Can you share it so we can cooperate?"

Luo Juan added, "Yes, I'm too curious. What are you planning, and what do we need to do?"
