“Greg Jensen!”
Upon hearing this name, Kenny Walker’s anger surged uncontrollably.
Ever since that name had appeared, his luck had turned for the worse—herbal medicine business, scenic area projects, nightclubs, supermarkets…
Almost every decline in his business was related to that guy!
Right now, he wished he could tear Greg Jensen apart and make him disappear from this world.
It was at this moment that Wayne Cooper suddenly returned, anxiously saying, “Boss, it’s not good, Han Lao Er is smashing up the place again.”
“Han Lao Er?”
Kenny Walker’s face darkened once more as he angrily commanded, “Go ask Master Wu to take care of it, and kill him directly!”
Upon hearing this, Wayne Cooper’s heart skipped a beat.
Master Wu was a renowned martial arts expert, who had a deep friendship with Kenny Walker and had secretly solved countless problems for him.
If Han Lao Er was previously considered Kenny Walker’s top enforcer, then Master Wu was his trump card.
All the things on the street that couldn’t be dealt with would be handled by Master Wu, and there had never been any accidents.
To ask Master Wu to deal with Han Lao Er was to send the latter to his death.
“Boss, is there really a need to involve Master Wu?”
Wayne Cooper hesitated, knowing that Han Lao Er had fought side by side with Kenny Walker for years. Just because of an issue with his niece, to have him killed seemed a bit much, didn’t it?
However, Kenny Walker had clearly made up his mind, his face grim as he said, “If I tell you to do it, then just do it. Wiry all the nonsense?”
“Yes, I’ll see to it right now.”
Frightened, Wayne Cooper shuddered and hurriedly agreed before turning and leaving the villa.
“It’s already autumn, huh.”
Wayne Cooper looked up to glance at the sky and saw the moonlight cold and clear, its chilly silver glow giving him an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
The men who had gone to handle Boss Liu hadn’t come back yet, and it seemed like they had been caught by the other side.
To this moment, Kenny Walker hadn’t even inquired once, and now he was asking Master Wu to deal with Han Lao Er.
That was an old-timer who had been with him for many years.
Your niece caused an accident, the other party just wanted an apology, and as a result…
Wayne Cooper shook his head and let out a soft sigh.
The next morning, Greg Jensen drove Lois Abbott to the fruit and vegetable supermarket, just in time to see the promotion banners and signs for a price reduction at the opposite Riverhaven Supermarket.
Lois Abbott frowned and asked, “It’s not a holiday or festival, why are they promoting sales right now?”
Greg Jensen looked at the banners across and shook his head with a smile, saying, “I guess they’ve been driven to a corner by us.”
Lois Abbott hesitated and suggested, “Should we reduce our prices too?”
Greg Jensen glanced at her and laughed, “Our pricing was already high to begin with, even if we reduce it, we can’t beat them.”
Lois Abbott frowned and asked, “Then what should we do? If they reduce their prices and we don’t, will anyone still buy our stuff?”
Greg Jensen smiled and replied, “Don’t worry about them, we’re targeting the mid to high-end market. These customers care about quality. If we lower our prices, it’ll look like we’re lacking confidence. Just sell as we normally do and everything will be fine.”
“Okay then.”
After the previous few incidents, Lois Abbott had a lot of trust in Greg Jensen, even to the point of blind faith, so although she was somewhat concerned, she still nodded in agreement.
Riverhaven Supermarket.
As soon as the doors opened, customers flooded in, three to four times more than the day before.
Kenny Walker personally oversaw the office, looking at the crowd on the monitor and revealing a triumphant smile, asking, “How is it? It’s working, isn’t it?”
“Boss is brilliant, how come I didn’t think of that?”
“Yes, the boss really has some impressive skills.”
Manager Liu expressed his admiration, and Wayne Cooper also followed with a compliment.
Kenny Walker seemed verypleased, stood up, and, with a smile, said, “Let’s go down together and take a look.”
“Okay, boss.”
The three of them took the escalator, and as soon as they arrived at the underground supermarket, they saw a group of people coming out.
All of these people were leaving empty-handed, seemingly having not purchased anything.
Kenny Walker couldn’t help but feel curious and stopped one of them, asking, “Hey, buddy, you roamed around the supermarket and didn’t buy anything?” “Nothing.”
“Are the items too expensive, maybe?”
The man shook his head and replied, “The stuff isn’t expensive; it’s just not very good.”
“Not very good?” Kenny Walker’s face darkened as he turned to look at Manager Liu beside him.
Seeing this, Manager Liu immediately panicked and protested, “Brother, are you sure you ‘re not mistaken? Our produce is fresh and just arrived, how could it not be good?”
“Compared to ordinary vegetables, yes, they’re fine, but they are far inferior to the vegetables at Peach Blossom Supermarket.”
Having said that, the man left.
Not willing to let it go, Kenny Walker stopped a few more people, only to receive the same answer-they all thought the produce at Peach Blossom Supermarket was much better than theirs. 𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at n0ve/lbi/𝒏(.)c𝒐m
Before he even had a chance to enter the supermarket, the customers who came in the morning had mostly left.
Seeing this, Kenny Walker was on the verge of exploding with anger, and he pointed at Manager Liu’s nose and scolded, “You tell me, why are the vegetables at the place across better than ours?”
“This… They should all be from the same supplier. Their vegetables can’t possibly be better than ours,” Manager Liu replied.
“Should they?”
Kenny Walker’s face turned steel blue as he said, “Should they my ass. Go across there now, buy a bit of every type of vegetable, and bring them back.”
“Okay, boss.”
Manager Liu, not daring to dally, personally went to Peach Blossom Supermarket and bought several pounds of vegetables to bring back.
Kenny Walker looked at the vegetables and couldn’t help furrowing his brows, “Aren’t these vegetables the same?”
“Yeah, there’s only one wholesale market in Riverhaven County. Everyone gets their stock from there, so how could theirs be better than ours?”
“Go wash them and give them a taste.”
“Alright.”
After a while, Manager Liu washed some cucumbers and carrots and placed them in front of Kenny Walker.
Kenny Walker first tried a cucumber from their own supermarket; after chewing a few bites, his brow gradually relaxed.
He then took a bite of a cucumber from Peach Blossom Supermarket, and the whole person was taken aback.
“This cucumber… it’s different. You guys taste it too.”
Manager Liu and Wayne Cooper both came over to taste it, and they were both stupefied.
“Why is it so sweet?”
“Yeah, isn’t it delicious?”
Although their own cucumbers were very fresh, crisp, and had the distinct refreshing taste of cucumber, they were far from matching the cucumbers from Peach Blossom Supermarket.
Kenny Walker, skeptical, took another cucumber only to find it the same: crisp, refreshing, sweet—so much better than their own.
He frowned and, with his expression quickly turning gravely serious, stared at Manager Liu and said, “Can you explain to me what’s going on here?”
“I… I really don’t know. There really is only one wholesale market in Riverhaven County. Unless they’re growing their own vegetables, it’s not possible for them to be this delicious.”
At this point, a thought suddenly struck Manager Liu, “Right, how could I have not thought of this before? Their vegetables must be homegrown because over at Peach Blossom Village, they’ve been growing quite a few vegetables. I heard they’ve been working on some vegetable base recently.”
“Go investigate, and report back to me when you find out.”
“Okay, boss.”
