“But she, although of humble fate, was also resilient.”
“Sister-in-law, do you not usually let Ranran eat outside food? I see she enjoyed it very much,” Pang Zijin played with the French fries on the tray, “Then do you give my brother outside food?”
Gan Xiaoping didn’t understand: “What are you trying to say?”
Pang Zijin lifted her chin: “There, that way.”
Her seat faced the entrance’s glass window, directly opposite the hamburger shop was a children’s indoor playground in the shopping mall. Following Pang Zijin’s gaze.
A young mother was playing with her twin sons on the slide.
“Sister-in-law, do you know? Those two kids also have the last name Pang,” Pang Zijin said with a smile, with a hint of sentimentality, “It’s really like they say, like father like son; Pang Yuanzong’s sons are just like him.”
Gan Xiaoping turned pale.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Pang Shifang had a woman outside, but before their marriage, they had agreed that he would not allow any other woman to have his children. Gan Xiaoping wasn’t particularly striking in appearance, nor did she have a respectable job or a noble family background. She was able to marry Pang Shifang because of a prison sentence her father faced.
“Why are you telling me all this?” Gan Xiaoping felt that Pang Zijin had ulterior motives, “What do you want?”
Anyone who could return to the country unscathed from under the hands of a mother-in-law like hers was bound to be crafty; Pang Zijin must have ambitions.
“Sister-in-law is smarter than my brother. Take a guess, if my brother had ten dollars, how many would he give to Ranran?” Pang Zijin propped her chin up, looking at the harmonious trio outside the window with a leisurely expression, “I’ll let you in on something, my brother is about to be done for. You’d better think it over when you get back, think about what’s best for Ranran. And no need to rush, just watch the situation for now, see how the wind and trends develop, and don’t find yourself on the wrong side.”
She got up, gently touched her little niece’s head: “Eat more, your auntie has to go.”
On September 22, Noon Ferry held their autumn new product fragrance trial at the art gallery, earlier than previous years. None of the senior personnel from Noon Ferry appeared, and this year’s autumn fragrance trial seemed very casual and hasty.
Pamdown had just finished their new product fragrance trial not long before, and Noon Ferry hastily followed suit. Even laypeople could sense something was off.
Even more unusual was that at Noon Ferry’s fragrance trial, there was a new fragrance, Lishan.
[Lishan and Pamdow’s Orange Beauty look too similar]
[Isn’t this plagiarism? Lishan copying Orange Beauty?]
[Who’s copying who is not certain, Noon Ferry’s perfumer isn’t even on the same level as Pamdow’s, is there a need to copy?]
[Orange Beauty came out first]
[Do big brands not plagiarize? I’m on the side of Orange Beauty this time]
[I can’t afford Noon Ferry, I’m also on the side of Orange Beauty]
[I’ve tried Pamdow’s sample, and it’s exactly like Lishan]
[Not the same, Lishan smells a bit more upscale]
[I don’t understand upscale, I’m poor, I only know that Noon Ferry’s pricing is outrageously expensive]
[Save me, I finally found a perfume that I like in taste and price, Noon Ferry please spare us commoners]
[Whoever plagiarized doesn’t matter to me, I’ll buy whoever is good and cheap, I wish they’d just hit the market]
[…]
Generally speaking, public opinion leaned towards Pamdow, as Noon Ferry’s market positioning was for a very small segment of high-spending consumers.
Noon Ferry has yet to issue any statement.
After Noon Ferry’s fragrance trial, Pang Shifang saw the potential and immediately increased production. Soon, extensive pre-sale advertisements for Pamdow’s new Orange Beauty flooded everywhere.
The design concept behind Orange Beauty is also noteworthy, a therapeutic fragrance with traces of medicinal ingredients in the formula that can aid in sleep if used at night.
Few knew that Xie Shang was Noon Ferry’s senior perfumer, so his life wasn’t affected by the negative speeches. Of course, He Dongzhou wasn’t affected either; his Miss Little Scar has recently been unwell, and he has spent most of his time accompanying her in the hospital.
The anxious ones were the research and development team at Noon Ferry; they still hadn’t identified the leaker of the formula from their lab and couldn’t prove the originality.
Gu Yihuan was also anxious.
After seeing the trending topics, Gu Yihuan immediately called Xie Shang.
“Fourth brother, did that bastard Pang Shifang copy you?”
“Yes.”
Gu Yihuan couldn’t understand: “Then why don’t you do anything? Just let him copy?” That didn’t seem right; neither fourth brother nor He Dog were the types to be pushed around.
“Let him copy,” said Xie Shang.
“Why?”
“To fish, you first need to prepare the bait.”
Gu Yihuan was a handsome but dumb jock, his understanding was at most third-grade level: “What’s all this fishing talk? I don’t fish.”
Xie Shang couldn’t be bothered to explain too much: “When did you get to know Miss Pang San?”
Why was he changing the subject? Gu Yihuan couldn’t keep up, momentarily confused: “Who? Pang San?”
Every time Gu Yihuan performed on stage, Miss Pang San would visit the bar. Miss Pang San was someone very adept at fishing.
But Gu Yihuan was too slow to even notice.
“Find the answer yourself.”
Xie Shang hung up.

Fu Ying said: “Does Xie Shang know our target?”
Wen Changling had guessed that Xie Shang knew Pang Shifang was her target, plotting for her. But did he know who her next target was?

The usually unsympathetic Wen Changling suddenly felt a touch of softness, she told herself not to be soft-hearted.
Like every other night, as usual, she lay down, closed her eyes, and called Xie Shang’s name. Before long, she opened her eyes again, tossed and turned, then closed them once more; it was annoying, but still, she called out Xie Shang’s name again—she was someone who kept her promises.
After repeating this process countless times and still without the slightest sign of sleepiness, she got up, lit some incense, sat for a while, and then put on a coat and went out.
She knocked on Xie Shang’s door.
The light was on inside, and Xie Shang hadn’t gone to bed either. He came to open the door: “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
She felt a little soft-hearted, so driven by some inexplicable whim, she came here to ask him: “Xie Shang, do you have any wishes?”
