Chapter 397: White-haired Beggar.

After leaving Zhongshan residential area, Xiao Luo and Li Zimeng had a chat with each other. Li Zimeng told him that Luo Fang’s factory in Xia Hai city was under urgent construction and had hired more than a dozen engineering teams. If there were no further hold-ups, the factory could be completed in six months.

In addition, the baking equipment and store layout were also going according to plans, and everything was going on smoothly.

The only thing to worry about was the baking industry in Xia Hai City was currently being dominated by ‘Sumir’. When Luo Fang entered Xia Hai’s market, it would inevitably interweave with Sumir, which had long taken root in Xia Hai City.

“Who is Sumir’s boss, have you investigated?”

Sitting in the cafe, Xiao Luo asked after hearing Li Zimeng’s report.

Li Zimeng handed a piece of information to Xiao Luo and said, “After investigation, the boss behind the scene is Su Li, the current famous celebrity.”

Su Li!?

Xiao Luo almost sprayed the coffee in his mouth. He bowed his head and read the information about Su Li compiled by Li Zimeng. Her age, height, weight, hobbies and filmography works were clearly written on it. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that Su Li would be the boss and also his nominal wife.

“As a star, how could she get involved in the baking industry?” Xiao Luo was very puzzled.

“It’s not surprising that many stars have side investments. I also know that a male star has opened a nationwide chain of hotpot restaurants. With his fame, the business is very prosperous, but Su Li seems to be relatively low-key and has not gone public about such matters. Almost no one knows that she is Sumir’s boss.”

Li Zimeng handed another copy of the information to Xiao Luo. “This is the information of Sumir’s branches all over the country. Their brand is very powerful. Boss Xiao should take a look.”

Xiao Luo picked it up and immediately felt a lot of pressure. His Luo Fang was the the major king in Jiang city, but Sumir had branches in all major key cities in the country. Its scale was much larger than his Luo Fang. In front of Sumir, Luo Fang was really too small.

It was no wonder that this woman was always acting highty mighty, brimming with confidence. She indeed had the capital to be proud!

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and felt that he didn’t know Su Li well enough.

He nodded and said, “You’ve worked hard this time.”

“That is natural. Also, our male compatriots worked harder, following the engineering team to start work in the factory. They are tired like bears in hibernation every day, ha ha …” Li Zimeng lightly laughed. She got praised, her heart was naturally happy.

“Then let them get tired and do more coolie work, it’s exercise.”

Xiao Luo picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. “By the way, accompany me to visit Sumir’s stores later, let’s get familiar with their products, and see where their advantages lie. Only in this way can we perfect ourselves and let Luo Fang have the ability to compete fairly.”

“Well, okay.”

Li Zimeng nodded, added a little of white granulated sugar to her coffee, stirred it with a spoon, and then drank it gracefully.

……

……

After visiting all of Sumir’s stores in Xia Hai City, it was already over eight o’clock in the evening. Xiao Luo and Li Zimeng had a meal together, exchanged ideas with each other, summed up several major advantages of Sumir, and at the same time got a clear idea of Sumir’s products.

If Luo Fang wanted to gain a firm foothold in Xia Hai City, it must do better than Sumir. Its service and products must be excellent in all aspects.

Xiao Luo felt that the road was long and tedious. On the one hand, Sumir’s strength and customer base were strong. On the other hand, Sumir’s boss was Su Li. When Luo Fang extended into Xia Hai, wouldn’t it force him to go to war with Su Li? Such matters made his head hurt.

After separating from Li Zimeng, he drove to the river.

The night was hanging over heaven and earth, like a piece of dark cloth, enveloping the complicated world. The sky was dotted with stars, and the moon was high up on the horizon. The night was clear.

The riverside environment was quiet and serene, and the reflections of the buildings were glowing on the surface of the river. It seemed that there was another world under the water.

All of a sudden, an unpleasant smell drifted up from one side, like the smell of fermented garbage.

Xiao Luo frowned, he looked and saw a man dressed in rags with white hair. He came up to him, wearing a pair of flip-flops, revealing his arms and legs. His hair, eyebrows and beard were long and white. His pair of eyes were intense, looking very glorious.

He didn’t need to ask, the unpleasant smell emanated from this person, because this person was very dirty, especially the flip-flops he wore on his feet, which felt like stepping on coal. If he was to use a basin of clean water to wash, the basin of clean water would surely become as muddy as sewage.

The man walked up to him, smiling, “Brother, can I sit next to you?”

“No!”

Xiao Luo refused without hesitation. It was too smelly. He was not used to it.

However, the other party still sat down beside him gracefully and even farted while sitting down.

Xiao Luo’s face changed, he wanted to beat this person.

However, the other party breathed out a sigh of relief with great comfort, just like a constipated person who suddenly was able to excrete smoothly, and his body quivered, as if it was a particularly comfortable thing to fart.

He held out his hand to Xiao Luo, “Little brother, nice to meet you, my name is Hong Ji”

“Get away!”

Xiao Luo wasn’t into humouring with him. If a beggar suddenly came to sit beside you, and pulled a long and smelly fart, what would you do? It was already great kindness that Xiao Luo didn’t immediately begin to beat him into a pulp?

“Young man, don’t be so angry, I just came to meet you …”

“Go before I hit you, take this money and roll away.” Xiao Luo took out a $100 bill, a full face of abandon.

The white-haired beggar froze, then smiled and said, “Look at you, if you don’t learn well at a young age, you’ll end up badly. You like to take money and insult people? Although I am a beggar, I also have professional ethics and won’t be bullied.” He said righteously, but he still took the money. He carefully took a look at it, and then returned the money to Xiao Luo. He said solemnly, “Change it, brother. This one feels fake. I seriously suspect it is a counterfeit.”

Xiao Luo laughed angrily and said coldly, “I think you old man deserve a beating!”

After saying this, he grabbed the white-haired beggar by the collar like a ghost in an attempt to subdue him.

But the white-haired beggar’s response was surprisingly quick. Before his claw arrived, the beggar already leaned back, and properly dodged Xiao Luo’s strike. The white-haired beggar had already moved away at a distance.

A practitioner?

Xiao Luo’s eyes slightly narrowed. He was very sure that this guy deliberately looked for trouble with him. He supported himself from the ground with his right hand and his body revolved as his left leg swung towards the white-haired beggar’s chest.
