Chapter 659: Chapter 659: In Trouble, Seek Help from Senior Brother

Yue Jiannan was swift in action, immediately discussing the specifics with Zhan Zhenfang.

“Big sister, if you trust me, we can draft the contract in the next couple of days.”

Zhan Zhenfang habitually looked at her daughter.

Lu Zhu said indifferently, “You decide.”

Having said that she should let her mother grow on her own, Lu Zhu resolved to do just that.

After all, one couldn’t be poorer than this, how much worse could it get?

Zhan Zhenfang clenched her teeth, “All right, I trust you.”

Yue Jiannan then inquired in detail about where Zhan Zhenfang usually bought her chili peppers.

Learning that they were grown by a local farmer, he became impatient to check out the raw materials.

Zhan Zhenfang was usually hesitant, but Yue Jiannan’s urge gave her the push she needed.

“Okay, I’ll take you there in a bit.”

Yue Jiannan rubbed his palms, thinking through various plans.

Perhaps the chili sauce should simply be named Scholar Sauce, as Lu Zhu and Yue Qingqing were both top students at Lingguang No.1 Middle School, with excellent grades.

As for himself, the creator, hehe, he could sort of count as a scholar too.

But wouldn’t Scholar Sauce be too tacky?

Or maybe something like ‘Eastern Red’, which sounds nice and catchy, and it symbolizes prosperity and clearly marks it as a Chinese brand.

But what if it’s already registered? Would that be infringing on someone else’s trademark?

As Yue Jiannan and Zhan Zhenfang sat at the table discussing, they exchanged ideas, gesticulating with their hands in their excitement.

Lu Zhu watched from the side, suddenly interjecting.

“I’ve never seen my mother like this before.”

In Lu Zhu’s memory, her mother had always been timid and shy, hardly speaking up loudly.

But now, Zhan Zhenfang was discussing loudly, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

“That’s wonderful.” Lu Zhu lowered her head, “Yue Qingqing, I owe you one again.”

Yue Qingqing smiled, “Don’t say things like that, this is a mutually beneficial collaboration.”

Lu Zhu thought about Lu Shao and started to worry, “This time, my mother and I have to move out. Lu Shao is no fool; he’ll definitely sense something is off later.”

She was more concerned about Yue Qingqing, “What if they find out your uncle pretended to be a journalist and call the police?”

Lu Zhu had heard that impersonating a public official was illegal, and by the same logic, impersonating a journalist could also spell trouble.

Yue Qingqing laughed, “They won’t find out.”

Lu Zhu: “Hm?”

Yue Qingqing: “Don’t worry.”

Lu Zhu looked at her roommate’s mysterious smile and felt even more that Yue Qingqing was not an ordinary person.

Was the expert really right beside me?

Yue Qingqing had already figured out a backup plan when her uncle stepped in.

When in trouble, call Senior Brother.

That night, Gong Qiming was surprised to receive a call from Yue Qingqing.

Gong Qiming wondered, as his little junior sister always mentioned being busy with school, so she rarely called him. What had happened today?

Before Gong Qiming could unleash a series of questions, Yue Qingqing struck first.

“Little Senior Brother, do you know any journalists or editors at China Daily?”

Gong Qiming immediately responded, “Of course I do. A reporter from their entertainment section interviewed me not too long ago. I gave him a lot of materials, and when he left, he was so excited he was nearly fainting. I was about to give him more details, but he couldn’t handle it all at once, so he just left his phone number for later.”

Hearing her little senior brother’s proud voice, Yue Qingqing envisioned a scene.

The journalist, expecting a quiet, handsome man, instead found an incessant talker akin to an octopus and, unable to escape, was forced to leave his phone number.

How tragic–

That’s why she dreaded calling her little senior brother.

After she clearly explained the situation, the little senior brother reassured Yue Qingqing, “Consider it done. Such despicable people must be exposed.”

After hanging up, Yue Qingqing silently apologized to the reporter she had never met.
