Jing Wenqiang angrily slammed the report in his hand onto the table, his eyes flashing with resentment and bitterness. He coldly looked at the group of people in front of him: "I've spent so much money on you, and now you're telling me that what you've done has had no effect at all? Are you trying to test my limits?"

One of his subordinates looked up helplessly and said, "Mr. Jing, Li Hanliang handles things very professionally, and Wufu at Jinyuan Supermarket is doing a great job. His customers trust him a lot, and there are absolutely no loopholes."

Jing Wenqiang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Alright, since that's the case, let's change our perspective. I don't believe he can be this lucky forever."

Inside the Jinyuan Supermarket, Li Hanliang had returned to his office and was sitting in a chair deep in thought.

The turmoil outside made him realize that Jing Wenqiang had already begun to take action, and that such incidents would only increase in the future.

Just then, there was another knock at the door. An employee walked in, looking serious, and said, "Boss, another person claiming to be from Jianghui Group is looking for you."

Li Hanliang frowned slightly, wondering to himself why people from Jianghui Group were coming to see him so frequently.

"Please invite him in," Li Hanliang said.

Soon, a neatly dressed and poised woman walked into the office.

She smiled and nodded to Li Hanliang: "Hello Mr. Li, I am Xiao Zhao, a market analyst from Jianghui Group, and I am responsible for further communication with you."

Li Hanliang nodded politely: "Zhao Xiaoxian, didn't your Jianghui Group already send a professional market research team from the provincial capital to discuss cooperation with me?"

Zhao Xiaoxian smiled, appearing calm and composed: "Yes, Mr. Li, the team you mentioned is mainly responsible for the overall market analysis and planning, while my visit is to discuss more specific details and operational plans. We hope that the implementation phase can proceed more smoothly."

Li Hanliang nodded, gesturing for Zhao Xiaoxian to sit down: "Then please tell me in detail."

Zhao Xiaoxian took out a document from her briefcase and handed it to Li Hanliang: "Based on our research, there are several districts in the provincial capital that we believe are very suitable for opening a new store, especially the East District, where the population density is high and consumer demand is strong. If you are willing to cooperate, we can provide comprehensive support."

Li Hanliang took the document and quickly glanced at it. "It does sound like a good plan, but I need to consider some other factors."

He looked up at Zhao Xiaoxian, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

An employee came in, looking slightly anxious: "Boss, there are a few regular customers outside who want to see you. It seems like something urgent has come up."

Li Hanliang was slightly taken aback, then stood up and said, "Zhao Xiaoxian, I'm really sorry, please wait a moment, I'll go see what's going on."

“Of course, no problem,” Zhao Xiaoxian nodded.

Li Hanliang hurried outside the office and saw several familiar customers standing at the reception desk. One of the elderly men said with a serious expression, "Mr. Li, I heard that your supermarket is planning to open in the provincial capital?"

Li Hanliang greeted them with a smile: "Uncle and Aunt, we do have some plans in this regard, but they are still under discussion. Why do you ask?"

The old man sighed: "Young man, your supermarket is doing a great job here, and we feel quite comfortable buying things here. But we are a little worried that you might neglect one thing for another."

A middle-aged woman standing nearby chimed in, "Yes, we all really like the atmosphere here. What if you get too busy?"

Li Hanliang felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but at the same time realized that every decision he made was related to the vital interests of many people.

"Don't worry, I won't neglect any store or customer. Even if we expand, it won't affect the quality and service here."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to discuss among themselves: "Now we can rest assured, Mr. Li is truly a good person."

"That's right, where can you find such a thoughtful merchant?"

Hearing these praises, Li Hanliang felt a surge of motivation.

Back in his office, he told Zhao Xiaoxian firmly, "If your Jianghui Group is truly sincere and can ensure that the existing stores are not negatively affected, I will seriously consider this cooperation opportunity. However, I need to see specific plans and safeguards."

Zhao Xiaoxian nodded: "Thank you very much for your trust. We will go back immediately to formulate a more detailed cooperation plan. How about we contact each other again tomorrow to see when to arrange the next meeting?"

"Okay, then let's do it your way, but let's talk about the specific timing after you've finalized the cooperation plan tomorrow." After seeing Zhao Xiaoxian out, Li Hanliang returned to his seat, took a deep breath, and already had a general direction in mind.

He knew that there would be many difficulties and obstacles on this path of expansion, but as long as he stayed true to his original aspirations, he would surely win the support and recognition of more people.

Meanwhile, in a distant corner, Zhao Xiaomei, who had just left Jinyuan Supermarket, was making a phone call to a mysterious person to report the situation: "He has basically agreed to our cooperation plan, but he seems to still have some concerns about us..."

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood. Proceed according to plan. Make sure he believes in our sincerity, no matter the cost. Do you understand what I mean?"

Meanwhile, in a small apartment in another city, Jing Wenqiang gritted his teeth and stared out the window, already plotting a new strategy.

He knew he had to be extra careful this time, otherwise Li Hanliang's reputation would only become more secure.

The next morning, as Li Hanliang stepped into his office, his phone rang. It was Ms. Zhao Xiaomei from Jianghui Group calling.

"Mr. Li, hello. I have prepared the specific details of the cooperation. Would it be convenient for you to come over this afternoon?"

Li Hanliang glanced at the schedule and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you at three o'clock."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hanliang suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if an unknown force was quietly changing everything...

"It feels like the Jianghui Group is being a bit too hasty in this matter, which is not a good sign..." he muttered to himself.

Li Hanliang put down his phone and looked out the window. The sunlight of Tianshui City shone through the clouds, but he felt a shadow in his heart.

What exactly was hidden behind Jianghui Group's urgent request for cooperation? This question kept swirling in his mind.

Time flew by and it was already 3 p.m. when Zhao Xiaomei arrived at Li Hanliang's office as promised.

She remained composed, holding a thick folder in her hand.
