Hearing their query, Sakata Hirokazu said bitterly, "It was Hu Xiaobei! Originally, I had my people try to buy the pharmaceutical factory, but Hu Xiaobei interfered and caused the acquisition to fail!"

Upon hearing it was again due to Hu Xiaobei, Fang Xiong and Lin Wei quickly spoke up!

"This... this Hu Xiaobei is relentless!"

"Exactly! Young Master Sakata, you must not let him go!"

"Don't worry! I certainly won't! I assure you, I'll completely get rid of him!"

After making this chilling statement, Sakata Hirokazu began to think of a strategy...

Seeing Sakata Hirokazu pondering his tactics, Fang Xiong suddenly remembered that Xiaohe Village had become popular because of their exceptionally delicious fruit!

In his view, if they could unlock the secret of that fruit, it would be tantamount to finding Xiaohe Village's Achilles' heel. Then, no one would bother visiting that poor place again!

Thinking so, Fang Xiong chuckled excitedly and quickly spoke, "Young Master Sakata, how impressive is your company's laboratory?"

Hearing Fang Xiong's question, Sakata Hirokazu slightly frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "What do you mean by that? Our company's research personnel are all top-notch! The researchers who accompanied me this time are also very strong. What's the issue?"

Realizing that Sakata Hirokazu had misunderstood him, Fang Xiong hurriedly explained, "Young Master Sakata, you've misunderstood. I wasn't belittling them—I was just thinking of a great idea! The reason Xiaohe Village has become so popular is entirely because of their delicious fruit! If we could decipher the secret of their fruit and cultivate even tastier ones, then their advantage would vanish entirely! So, no one would visit their village anymore."

Hearing the detailed explanation, Sakata Hirokazu's eyes lit up, "Cutting off the supply?"

"Exactly! Let's employ a strategy of cutting off the supply!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

As they excitedly spoke, the three of them began discussing some minor details...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei, holding Su Xueying's hand, arrived outside a large, comprehensive shopping mall!

After shyly glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Su Xueying whispered, "Xiaobei, why did you bring me here?"

Hearing such a timid query, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "To shop! It's not often we get out, so naturally, we should take the opportunity to look around!"

"Shop for what! I don't lack clothes anymore!"

"Even if you don't need them, let's still browse since we are already here!"

"But… but let go of me. If someone we know sees us, what would we do?"

"Hehe, sister-in-law, no worries! There's no one here who knows us, so you don't need to think so much!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei directly pulled her into the mall!

Being dragged into the shopping mall by Hu Xiaobei, Su Xueying tried to wriggle free twice but found her hand was gripped even tighter.

"This little bastard!"

After muttering quietly, Su Xueying acquiesced; she knew Hu Xiaobei was right, it was indeed unlikely to encounter acquaintances here, so she let this little rascal hold her hand...

...

"It's so big!"

Both Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying, visiting such a big mall for the first time, were utterly astonished; after all, it did look very luxurious!

"What bumpkins!"

Seeing the shocked expressions of Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying, several female sales assistants around the clothing areas disdainfully pursed their lips!

In their eyes, Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying were obviously poor villagers…

Unaware of what they were thinking, Hu Xiaobei, holding a black bag full of money, dragged the still shocked Su Xueying straight to the women's clothing section!

...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei and Han Xueyao heading their way, the sales assistants in the women's clothing section slightly frowned.

"Those poor wretches have the nerve to come here!"

"Yeah, they should take a look at themselves!"

"Alright, just ignore them and it will be fine!"

Several sales associates watched as they approached, clearly showing no intent to engage!

They had worked here for a long time, thus developing the ability to instantly discern who was wealthy and who was poor!

Previously, they had judged by Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying's attire that the two were by no means wealthy...

Therefore, they felt it wasn't worth wasting their precious time on Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying, so although they saw them coming, they remained lazily seated, resting, and drinking tea!

...

"Xiaobei, the clothes here are really too expensive, let's check out some other places!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei pull her straight towards the women's section, Su Xueying quickly spoke up!

She knew that the clothes in this kind of place were truly beyond what she could afford, and since she spent her days busy in the fields, there was no need to wear such fine clothing!

Feeling Su Xueying's resistance, Hu Xiaobei whispered softly, "Sister-in-law, it's alright! Just looking isn't illegal!"

"Well... okay then!"

Hearing Su Xueying agree, Hu Xiaobei smiled!

Hu Xiaobei had long wanted to buy her a nicer set of clothes!

...

Expensive!

Su Xueying, who came over with Hu Xiaobei, saw the price and immediately frowned!

Just as she was about to say something else, she noticed that Hu Xiaobei had already picked up a purple dress.

"Sister-in-law, I feel this dress really suits you, why not try it on in the fitting room!"

"This..."

Su Xueying looked at the purple dress and liked it too, but still shook her head, knowing it was just too expensive!

...

"Endless trouble, isn't it!"

The sales associates who were sitting and sipping tea slightly furrowed their brows now!

Before, they had no intention of paying attention to Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying!

In their view, Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying would be scared off by the prices of the clothes here right away!

But now, not only had they not run away, but they also wanted to try on clothes!

This seemed to the sales associates a bit too much!

So now they exchanged glances and walked over with gloomy faces...

...

Seeing Su Xueying shake her head, Hu Xiaobei encouraged her, "Sister-in-law, don't think about it, just try it, it really looks good!"

"I..."

Su Xueying was just about to say something when she heard footsteps, turned her head, and saw three female sales associates walking towards them with unpleasant expressions!

Su Xueying noticed, and so did Hu Xiaobei, but he didn't take it too seriously and continued to encourage Su Xueying, "Sister-in-law, just try it!"

"I..."

Su Xueying was about to speak when the sales associates scoffed coldly!

"Sorry, our clothes here can only be tried on after deciding to buy them."

"Yes!"

"If you two have decided to buy, let us know, otherwise, please put it back nicely! It's expensive, and you can't afford to pay if you soil it!"
