Chapter 73 Qianqian Takes Action
"It's gotten this big?" Lu Qianqian was astonished. With so much public opinion comes a lot of social attention, and people who use soy sauce every day and night are easily swayed by rumors.
“Yes,” said Shichijo. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t have affected the approval process for real estate development, and it wouldn’t have impacted companies that cooperate with the Peng family. Many aspects that ordinary people can’t see have been affected.”
The so-called butterfly effect means that when Peng's company halts production for inspection, many employees worry about losing their jobs. The purchase of raw materials for soy sauce production will also stop, causing economic losses. From large enterprises to small farmers, it is only natural that unsold soybeans will lead to business losses and affect the lives of employees and farmers.
Therefore, if a large enterprise goes bankrupt, more ordinary people will be affected, which is why Rong Changqing did not allow Zhang's Real Estate to go bankrupt.
Lu Qianqian was still watching the news and keeping up with the latest developments when her phone rang. The caller ID showed Peng Xiue as the caller.
Calling her at this time clearly meant something was up, so Lu Qianqian answered without hesitation: "Sister Peng?"
"Qianqian, I need your help..."
……
In the evening, Lu Qianqian went to pick up Rong Zhecheng from school on time.
There were many parents at the school gate, so Lu Qianqian asked Bai Ban to park the car a little further away, and she and Qi Tiao walked over.
Many parents were already waiting at the gate, and students were coming out of the school gate in an endless stream. Lu Qianqian stared at the crowd, as if she were playing a spot-the-difference game. After searching for more than ten minutes, she finally spotted two familiar figures, one big and one small, in the crowd.
Rong Zhecheng and the chubby Peng Ziqian.
"Little Chengcheng!" she called out, waving her hand.
When Rong Zhecheng saw her, his expression remained unchanged, but he changed the direction he was walking.
When Lu Qianqian walked in, she noticed that the chubby boy's clothes were all dirty. When he looked at Lu Qianqian, his eyes were full of expectation, and he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He didn't speak, but Rong Zhecheng spoke up: "Peng Ziqian's mother doesn't want him anymore and left him at school."
"Huh?" Lu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "No one came to pick you up last night?"
Peng Ziqian lowered his head in grievance, his eyes red, clearly having just been crying.
"So what did you do last night?" Lu Qianqian could hardly believe that she had just left her child at school like that.
“The teacher called my parents to the school, but my mother didn’t come. Teacher Guo was very angry. Later, it was too late, so she told me to go home.” After the fight yesterday, all the children’s parents came, but his mother didn’t. “Then when I got home, the landlord appeared. He said that my mother owed a lot of rent and didn’t pay. He threw our things out and wouldn’t let us stay. I waited all night, but my mother didn’t come.”
He spoke while crying, looking very aggrieved.
Lu Qianqian's heart was touched, and she reached out to gently rub his head with concern: "Did you not eat all day?"
The chubby boy shook his head: "The boss bought me a lot of food this morning."
He addressed Rong Zhe as "boss".
Hearing this, Lu Qianqian happily took the two children's hands: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious. But little fatty, have you ever thought about what will happen if your mother doesn't want you anymore?"
She led her two children toward the parking spot.
The chubby boy didn't answer, so Rong Zhecheng spoke up.
“Come with me, I’ll take care of him.”
Lu Qianqian looked at Rong Zhecheng with great surprise and teased, "How will you support yourself? You're still a child yourself."
In response, Rong Zhecheng arrogantly replied, "I have a lot of money."
Lu Qianqian: "..."
What's with this overtly nouveau riche vibe?
Putting aside Rong Zhecheng's words, Lu Qianqian looked at Peng Ziqian and asked somewhat seriously, "Have you ever thought about finding your father?"
She later had Qi Tiao investigate and found that Peng Ziqian was the illegitimate son of Peng Zong's eldest son, Peng Xuzhe. Peng Xuzhe was now almost forty years old and had always known about Peng Ziqian's existence, but he had never cared about him and had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
Peng Xuzhe's wife disliked Peng Ziqian, his illegitimate son, and naturally would not allow her to enter the Peng family.
Sure enough, the chubby boy burst into tears, grabbed Lu Qianqian's leg and cried, "Grandma, please don't send me to Daddy's."
"...Don't call me grandma." She's still just a young woman in her early twenties. "Didn't you ask me to take you to the Peng family before? Why don't you want to go now?"
The chubby boy cried, his nose snot running down his face, looking very pitiful: "That's because Mom wants me to go, but I don't want to go at all. The uncles and aunts there don't like me, and Dad doesn't like me either. They even bully me. I'm not going to Dad's place. I want to stay with the eldest brother. He doesn't bully me and he even buys me meat to eat."
"..." What else could Lu Qianqian do?
Anyway, the Rong family won't go poor even if they have one more person to feed.
"Okay, from now on you can stay with your boss. Auntie will help you find your mom, okay?" Lu Qianqian's tone softened considerably as she spoke.
The chubby boy stopped crying and nodded obediently, "Okay."
Lu Qianqian checked the time, then looked at the chubby boy's face, which looked like a cat's fur, and could only take him shopping for clothes first: "Let's go, Auntie will take you to buy clothes."
I also bought a pack of wet wipes at the small supermarket next door so the little fat boy could wipe his face.
Rong Zhecheng sat in the car, quietly watching Lu Qianqian wipe the little fat boy's face, his eyes flickering.
He was determined to bring Peng Ziqian back from the beginning, and no one could stop him. He never expected that Lu Qianqian would not only agree, but also be so gentle.
Do all women like children?
After arriving at the mall, Lu Qianqian finally washed the little chubby boy's face clean and then led him into the children's clothing section, still holding one in each hand.
However, the little fat boy is very big and can't buy clothes for his age, so he can only buy clothes that are a bit larger for junior high school students.
"No, he's too fat." Lu Qianqian couldn't understand why the little fat boy was so fat. Wasn't his family poor and unable to afford food, resulting in malnutrition?
She's only 1.2 meters tall, but weighs over 120 kilograms. How does she eat like that?
"I was sickly when I was little and took a lot of medicine. My mom said it was because of hormones that I'm so fat. Actually, I have a small appetite," the chubby boy explained, feeling wronged.
Beside him, Rong Zhecheng nodded: "Yes, he doesn't eat much, just a little more than me."
Hmm, just one more bowl, a little bit more.
Lu Qianqian felt even more sorry for him after hearing this, and took his hand to coax him: "Okay, I won't say you've gained weight, but starting tomorrow morning, you have to run with Xiao Chengcheng."
The chubby boy, unaware of the pain of morning runs, nodded earnestly: "I'll do well, Grandma... Auntie."
Seeing that he had changed his tune, Lu Qianqian smiled sweetly: "Good boy."
