Chapter 11: The Legendary Long-Lost Brothers and Sisters
Ning Xiaobao likes Tang Siqi for a very simple reason, because this guy has a very familiar face, as if he has seen it somewhere and has a particularly good-looking face. It's that simple, and it fits his child's way of thinking.
But Ning Xiaobao is still a child, and the most obvious thing about this is that he still has to ask his mother's permission for anything he does, even though he always calls him by his given name Ning Jing.
As a result, Ning Xiaobao devised a plan for Tang Yunming, because Ning Jing said, "If you like him, do you want to be with him? If you want to be with him, help Tang Yunming first and let him
Knowing that you are very powerful, I will like you very much."
Ning Jing didn't care whether Ning Xiaobao's smart little head could figure out her plot, but it didn't matter, because the plan had been handed over to Tang Yunming. For this plan, Ning Jing even took Ning Xiaobao back with her.
to the Tang family.
"Is this your plan?"
Looking at the plan in his hand, Tang Kai had a calm face and raised his eyebrows, waiting for Tang Yunming to give him an answer.
Obviously, Tang Kai couldn't understand what kind of medicine Tang Yunming was selling in his gourd. As long as his head was in order, he would never make such a plan.
Tang Yunming was also so surprised when he saw the plan, but after Ning Xiaobao's explanation, he suddenly realized, "Yes, I plan to stop production of our detergent for half a year."
Half a year, half a year! The sales volume of Tang's Jieyi Cleaner in the market is pretty good. Although Yijing can be regarded as a dark horse that broke out of the market, it still cannot surpass the old brand like Jieyi Cleaner in a short time. Now Tang Yunming
He even said that he wanted to discontinue the production of detergents. Isn't this the act of a lunatic?
The frightened Jiang Huiya was about to intercede for Tang Yunming, but Tang Kai waved his hand to suppress what she was about to say, and turned to look at Tang Yunming solemnly, "Tell me the reason."
"My plan is to stop the production of Jieyi Cleaner for half a year. According to my survey, it only takes one and a half months for Jieyi Cleaner to be sold out on the shelves. In the next time, consumers will definitely
Choosing Yijing detergent, for a small brand like Yijing, when seeing such an opportunity, I will definitely look at production and stock up to try to monopolize the market. Half a year later, I plan to launch a new package and bundle two large bottle packages for sale.
Get two large bottles and get one small bottle free. Based on the reputation of Jieyi Cleaner, most consumers will definitely buy two bottles of Jieyi Cleaner, which will surpass Yijing in terms of product quality and quantity."
"What does this mean for us?"
A sly smile appeared on Tang Yunming's face, "Dad, do you know how long a bottle of detergent lasts?"
"how long?"
"A large bottle of our detergent can be used for four months, two large bottles can be used for eight months, plus a small bottle can be used for three months, a total of eleven months, and this is a conservative estimate, if it is more economical
Households can use it for more than a year. During this year, the sales of Yijing detergents have stagnated, and the hoarding cannot be realized. The final result is bankruptcy. Only in this way can we completely defeat our competitors!"
Before Tang Kai could speak, Jiang Huiya was already applauding and wanted to jump up, "Great!"
Tang Yunming lowered his head with a subtle and humble smile on his face, but Ning Jing's eyes turned to Tang Siqi, who was sitting opposite. His smile meant nothing, and he looked at Tang Yunming as if he was studying a new thing.
Huh, I scared you to death!
At this time, Tang Kai, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "Yunming, come upstairs with me."
Upstairs refers to the study room. Generally speaking, Tang Kai would go to the study room to discuss something very important. Jiang Huiya's heart was also raised. For the time being, she forgot about the thorn in her side, Ning Jing, and the thorn in her flesh, Tang Siqi, and tiptoed.
He followed the father and son upstairs.
The living room became quiet for a while, the breeze caressed it, and it felt very comfortable.
Tang Siqi and Ning Jing were sitting face to face. Although neither of them spoke, their eyes were engaged in a battle.
In the end, it was Ning Jing who spoke first, "How was it? Are you surprised?"
"I know it was you who gave him the idea."
Ning Jing shook her head, "I'm not that smart, but my son is very smart."
Tang Siqi nodded, "I am very surprised, because Yunming's son will never have so many clever ideas."
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing," Tang Siqi shrugged easily, "A child doesn't look like his father or mother. How do you explain it?"
Ning Jing smiled instead of getting angry, "Don't you see who he looks like?"
"Sorry, forgive me for being stupid."
"Do you want to look in the mirror?"
Sparks ignited where the two people's eyes met. I don't know if they were the sparks of swords meeting or the sparks of dry fire. I could only hear the crackling sound, which was very lively.
After a moment of confrontation, Tang Siqi turned his eyes away, crossed his legs, and looked much more relaxed, "It seems that Yunming got a good gunman this time."
"Really? What about you, aren't you nervous?"
Tang Siqi shrugged, "Why should I be nervous?"
Ning Jing raised her eyebrows, "You mean, Tang Yunming and the gunman together can't defeat you?"
"That's right, but not necessarily right. If it's just Yunming, I don't think he has a chance of winning, but if there are gunmen..." Tang Siqi smiled meaningfully, leaning over to get closer to Ning Jing.
, "You're right, the little guy does look a lot like me. The reason why having him is counterproductive is because he looks like me and has the same... hostility in him."
Violence... Ning Jing suddenly realized - for example, Ning Xiaobao's plan this time, although it was incomparably ingenious and seamless, the method was to use tactics to drive away the opponent.
Tang Siqi continued to speak slowly and politely, "What the old man hates the most is this kind of anger. It's a pity that children don't know how to hide it."
Seeing the faint smile on Tang Siqi's face, Ning Jing gradually felt that danger was approaching step by step. She sneered and turned her head to the side, but her heartbeat was beating extremely fast.
He didn't know what the conversation was about upstairs. Tang Siqi was a little impatient. He stood up and was about to leave. Ning Jing smiled behind her and said, "What? You guessed the ending so you don't waste time?"
"Yes," Tang Siqi said without looking back, "it's not decided yet who will be the winner."
Tang Siqi said this angrily and turned around and went out the door. Sure enough, not long after he left, Tang Kai and others came down from upstairs. Let alone Tang Kai and Tang Yunming, just look at Jiang Huiya.
From that drawn-out face, it can be seen that Tang Yunming definitely didn't win, but since Jiang Huiya didn't cry or make a fuss, he probably didn't lose either.
Who the flower will belong to has not yet been decided. It is indeed the case.
On the way back to the car, Tang Yunming sighed, always a little unwilling, "If it were normal, the old man would definitely appreciate it very much."
Ning Jing sneered, "Tang Yunming, have you ever heard of the saying, 'When a person is about to die, his words are also kind'?"
"I heard it, what's the matter?"
"Do you know what this means? Not only people who are about to die, but also older people. Because there is nothing to fight for, they like to use a more relaxed approach when doing things. Including today's matter, he has been used to fighting with others all his life.
I don’t want you to use dirty tricks, such as today’s plan.”
Tang Yunming slammed on the brakes, "So you know everything? Then why are you telling me now?"
"I just thought of it."
"That's great! It's the loudest and loudest hindsight!"
Ning Jing waved her hand, "Don't worry, I will find a way to help you."
"What can you do?"
"Don't worry about what methods I have. Anyway, I know the problem now. I just need to prescribe the right medicine. There's nothing to worry about."
Tang Yunming scratched his hair and asked, "Why are you helping me like this?"
"No reason," Ning Jing blurted out without thinking, "because she hates Tang Siqi."
"Ah? Did you know my brother before?"
Ning Jing looked at Ning Xiaobao, turned to look out the window, and snorted dissatisfied, "I don't know, but I am born to hate certain people. I hate them at the first sight. You can tell by a sideways glance while walking on the road."
I hate this person!"
Tang Yunming shrugged, "I don't know where my brother offended you. This is crazy."
Ning Jing was noncommittal to this half-questioning, half-teaching statement, "What did your old man say when he asked you to come up today?"
"Just tell me not to worry and not to act too hastily. He doesn't plan to choose an heir immediately. He wants me to cultivate my moral character."
Ning Jing nodded, "Well done. As expected of Lao Jiang, it's really spicy. I also agree with your father's opinion. You go home and slowly cultivate yourself. I'm going out."
"where did you go?"
"Cultivation of your body and nature, and leave me alone!"
Ning Jing's voice floated in the wind, and only a few words were left in Tang Yunming's ears. Looking up, there were many vendors selling chrysanthemums on both sides of the road. The yellow chrysanthemums were in full bloom, yes, again.
It's time to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. Ning Jing's figure is like this, hidden after the event, and finally blurred and indistinguishable.
It rained heavily during the Qingming Festival. Ning Jing remembered it very clearly. Every time she came to the cemetery, it was accompanied by drizzle. It seemed that raining during the Qingming Festival had become an unwritten natural law.
Ning Jing moved the umbrella towards Ning Xiaobao a little further. Ning Jing pulled Ning Xiaobao and walked in the rain. Not long after it rained, the rain had already washed away the stone slabs of the cemetery, revealing the
The texture of the stone slab itself is very fresh.
Ning Xiaobao shrank his neck, "Ning Jing, why do we come to the cemetery?"
"I came here last year, don't you remember?"
"I know you said you would come every year, but I just forgot why."
"Come to visit your grandpa."
Ning Jing's father and Ning Xiaobao's grandfather were buried in this cemetery, lying quietly under the stone slabs. The fine rainwater was like a bead curtain, and the mist was like a curtain. I don't know where the fire started.
The bursts of green smoke made everything seem like a dream.
In this world, Ning Jing's last memory is her father, and... that period of childhood that was like a nightmare to herself - after her father died, her stepmother couldn't wait to kick her out, leaving her with nowhere to go.
Finally, he was sent to an orphanage. As for his mother, she could no longer remember it at all.
