Su Nian watched the endless stream of customers and the shelves that sold out immediately, her mouth agape in surprise. She hadn't expected the old man to be such a good person. She had thought he was there to cause trouble, but it seemed they had worried for nothing.
Soon, the atmosphere in the shop reached its peak once more. As soon as new stock was replenished, it was sold out again. Only when the factory had no more goods did they slowly disperse, and the shop finally fell truly quiet.
Everyone wearily massaged their sore and swollen limbs. Chen Lishu stepped forward, looking at everyone and saying, "You've all worked yourselves to exhaustion today and even put in overtime. Today's wages will be paid at double the rate. We're all going out for hot pot tonight to eat our fill. Eat whatever you want, there's no need to be polite with me!"
With both extra money and food, the tired crowd instantly became as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants. They quickly finished cleaning up and headed to the reserved hot pot restaurant.

Meanwhile, at the Dynasty Grand Hotel.
"This Chen Lishu really thinks highly of herself. After sending out an invitation, shouldn't you have accepted it with effusive gratitude? How dare she say such things about us in front of so many people..."
Just as the two were arguing, Zhang Wan'er suddenly ran up to them, her face pale, and said, "Please don't be angry! Miss Alice, you've invited so many guests to your banquet today. You should be chatting with them. I know you mean well for me, but I don't want all your attention to be on me on such an important day.
As for Miss Chen, I have no intention of getting together with Gu Xingdong. Helping you was just a moment of weakness. I don't want you to have to pay anything for it. Alice is my good friend, and I hope you can show her some respect. At the very least, what happened yesterday shouldn't have occurred."
Speaking of yesterday's events, a furious smile appeared on Alice's face. She had no intention of letting this matter go easily!
So, she grabbed Zhang Wan'er's arm, pushed her aside, and said with extreme disappointment, "Miss Zhang, don't worry. I can handle this myself. You should go and rest properly."
After speaking, Alice reached out as if to grab Chen Lishu's hair, muttering continuously, "As long as you die, everything will be over, and there will be a perfect conclusion!"
Seeing Alice's move, Chen Lishu narrowed her eyes. With swift action, she grabbed the attacking hand and forcefully bent it backward.
In an instant, the sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the entire banquet hall. Everyone curiously surged towards Chen Lishu's direction, and the spot where they stood was completely surrounded.
