My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 440: Fooled into Limping

Moreover, she and President Zhang had the same idea, wanting to take advantage of the current momentum of Hexing Rice to sell it.

This time, the free promotion was likely even more effective than if she had spent money on advertising later.

After confirming the time, Lu Youxi hung up the phone and said to the village chief, "Uncle, Sincere Supermarket agreed to let Hexing Rice be placed on their shelves!"

"That’s great!" The village chief was so happy he was beside himself, "I need to hurry and share this good news with our village!"

"Sure, when you do, please remember to thank everyone for their support. It’s because of their support that Hexing Rice gained its fame and helped me seal the deal," instructed Lu Youxi.

"I’ll definitely tell them. Everyone will be thrilled to know they’ve been a help!" said the village chief.

"Also tell them that I’ll be raising their prices soon. How much I’ll raise, I need to have the finance department figure out, but it will definitely be a substantial increase," Lu Youxi said, "Let everyone have a heads up and feel settled. Otherwise, they might worry, wondering whether we’ll increase their prices now that the deal is done. I don’t want to end up not addressing this after promising to lead everyone to prosperity. Let’s give them some reassurance first."

The village chief laughed; Lu Youxi really understood the villagers.

The villagers were genuinely good people; otherwise, they wouldn’t have supported Lu Youxi when she was wrongfully accused.

But they also had their little schemes.

They were very keen about money and remembered very clearly what Lu Youxi had promised.

"Alright, I’ll call everyone right now," the village chief said cheerfully.

"No, let’s wait until after the contract is signed this afternoon, then tell everyone. It’s better to be sure of things first, so we feel more secure," added Lu Youxi.

The village chief slapped his thigh, "I was too hasty. We should indeed settle things completely before discussing them."

The two returned to the restaurant at noon, and during the meal, they shared their progress with Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu.

Upon hearing that they had secured deals with both Dongshenglai Hotel and Sincere Supermarket, both were overjoyed.

In the afternoon, Lu Youxi and the village chief went to the office of Sincere Supermarket to discuss the details of the contract with President Zhang.

As soon as they met, President Zhang said, "President Lu, I hear your company has already signed a contract with Dongshenglai?"

"President Zhang, you are well-informed!" Lu Youxi responded with a smile, though her face showed no surprise, clearly not taken aback by President Zhang knowing this.

"Seeing your expression, you’re not surprised I knew," President Zhang said with a laugh.

"Well, we are in the same industry. I’d actually be surprised if you didn’t know. It’s normal for Sincere Supermarket to have timely industry news. But it also shows how well-connected you are," Lu Youxi remarked.

"I heard it from Shili Xiang. They suddenly contacted us for no important reason, and I thought that was abnormal. A little inquiry and I found out."

"I won’t hide it from you. You could definitely find out anyway—I gave Dongshenglai a 10% discount," Lu Youxi confessed.

President Zhang actually breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Youxi with respect, "Indeed."

As expected, President Zhang was aware. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"I’ll tell you now, the price I gave Dongshenglai is exclusive. Anyone else who comes to me won’t get that price," Lu Youxi stated, "President Shi is a righteous man, and I consider him a friend now. Of course, it’s also me boldly seeking favor."

"Previously at a dinner, President Hu from Yuehaolai Supermarket behaved inappropriately towards me, and it was President Shi who stepped in, not only protecting me but also serving as my witness. Including the camera secretly installed at our dinner, it was found by a Dongshenglai waiter, who reported directly to President Shi. President Shi then contacted me, asked my opinion, and I wanted to see what the other party was up to, so I asked President Shi to play along and have the waiter arrange the camera. In addition, to provide proof for me, after getting my consent, President Shi installed their own cameras."

"So, after being slandered, I was immediately able to produce evidence to prove my innocence, and had the opportunity to trace up the chain to see who was plotting against me," Lu Youxi continued, "After all, having a camera in the hotel’s private dining room capturing customers’ meals is very negative for the hotel."

"President Shi was willing to take such a risk to help me, for which I am extremely grateful. I owe President Shi a huge favor," Lu Youxi said gratefully, "President Zhang, I may be young and haven’t met as many people, but I know that what President Shi did is rare. I think, if it were someone else, they might not be able to do what he did."

"That day when discussing business, I also gave Dongshenglai a bag of rice for their kitchen to try, thinking that if they found it tasty, they might buy from me. To my surprise, President Shi really liked it and decided to buy the rice."

"President Shi has been very kind to me. I outright suggested giving him a batch for free. But no matter what, he refused to agree, insisting on paying whatever price I charged others," Lu Youxi repeated, "President Shi is truly honorable!"

At that moment, at Dongshenglai, in Shi Yusheng’s office.

Suddenly, his ears felt warm and his nose itchy, and he sneezed twice.

He rubbed his nose with his index finger, "It’s not a cold."

Little did he know, Lu Youxi was enhancing his reputation.

"But now I’m worried about how to repay him. Nothing else I could do, I just could offer President Shi a 10% discount. It took a lot of persuasion for him to finally agree," Lu Youxi said, "President Zhang, I’m really sorry about this; I did promise to give everyone the same price. But President Shi really has done a huge favor for me, and I..."

"I understand, I get it!" President Zhang quickly said, "It’s only right, only right."

"Even if it were me, I would have done the same," President Zhang remarked.

He had harbored some reservations about Lu Youxi before.

Here she was, discussing firmly in detail how the prices given out were the same, pretending to be so strict about it.

Yet, she turned around and offered Dongshenglai a lower price.

Was it because Dongshenglai approached her first?

Like she said, anyone who cooperates with her first, gets a lower price?

If that were the case, wouldn’t the pricing of Hexing Rice become a mess?

Besides, although his Sincere Supermarket wasn’t the first to approach her, they had contacted her quickly enough, with ample sincerity.

If Lu Youxi were to trick him this way, he would be very upset.

So, just now, he had been probing her intentions.

If Lu Youxi couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, he was truly ready to retract his offer.
