At 6 pm, Leng Yehua came back. Leng Yecheng didn’t join them for dinner because he needed to deal with something else. So they started eating without him.
During the meal, Song Zhenyang also told Leng Yehua about their purpose of coming this time. It was a business matter and not a secret, so they didn’t discuss it privately.
The Song family ran into a little trouble.
Song Zhenyang’s business was in the building materials industry. He recently received several large orders. However, the supplier suddenly ran out of stock, so he faced delays and breaches of contract.
Besides, the customer specified this supplier, so he couldn’t purchase from other suppliers.
“I feel like this is a conspiracy!” Leng Xiaoyao suddenly said. She had no conflict or hatred with Song Zhenyang, so she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Upon hearing that, everyone was surprised.
“You know nothing!” Song Xiaoxiao sneered.
However, Song Zhenyang agreed with Leng Xiaoyao. “Actually, I also suspect that this is a conspiracy. The supplier can’t just run out of stock for a whole month! However, there’s no evidence.”
It was like a slap in the face to Song Xiaoxiao, making her feel extremely embarrassed, but Song Zhenyang didn’t care about her face, as the company’s affairs were more important.
“Have you sent someone to investigate the supplier?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.
Song Zhenyang suddenly didn’t treat Leng Xiaoyao as a child anymore and responded seriously. “Yeah, but the person we sent said that the supplier did run out of stock.”
“How did you send him? Did you use your company’s name?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.
“Yes.” Song Zhenyang replied.
“Foolish.” Leng Xiaoyao bluntly criticized.
“Watch your attitude, Leng Xiaoyao!” Song Xiaoxiao was angry at Leng Xiaoyao for insulting her father. She didn’t like Leng Xiaoyao to begin with, so she scolded her in anger.
Leng Xiaoyao just looked at her coldly, then turned her gaze back to Song Zhenyang. “Since it’s a conspiracy against you, would they tell you the truth if you go with your company’s name?”
Upon hearing that, Song Zhenyang suddenly realized that he hadn’t thought of this before!
It made sense. Song Zhenyang wasn’t a meticulous or smart person. He only expanded his business with Leng Yehua’s protection. It was already good enough that he could suspect it was a conspiracy.
Song Zhenyang suddenly treated Leng Xiaoyao differently. He didn’t blame her for calling him foolish. Instead, he asked for her opinion. “So what should we do now, Niece Xiaoyao?”
“You should have sent someone as a businessman from the beginning!” Leng Xiaoyao said.
At this point, Song Zhenyang figured out what to do. “Then I’ll immediately find someone to ask about it as a business person. If there are goods available, we’ll purchase them under someone else’s name. I can take over later.”
“This method will work for now, but it can only solve the current problem. You still need to deal with the person targeting you. They will continue to obstruct you if you don’t address it. This method can only be used once or twice. It won’t work if you use it too many times. It will be difficult for your business to continue,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“What should we do?” Song Zhenyang asked, feeling that Leng Xiaoyao might have a solution.
“Well, since you met me, I’ll help you out once out of kindness! Although I can’t guarantee that you’ll definitely find evidence, if there is evidence, you can get it. The most important thing is that if this is really a conspiracy, you can use the evidence to threaten the person and make him back down. If the supplier really is out of stock, then you’ll just have to accept your fate,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Can you really investigate this? Leng Xiaoyao, you…” Song Xiaoxiao laughed sarcastically, questioning Leng Xiaoyao’s abilities.
In fact, everyone present doubted Leng Xiaoyao, but since she said that she could handle it, they still wanted to see what she could do.
“Shut up.” Song Zhenyang immediately snapped at them. He didn’t want Leng Xiaoyao to get angry and refuse to help them investigate.
Although he didn’t really believe in Leng Xiaoyao, he didn’t think she was lying either.
“Zhenyang, do you really believe in Xiaoyao?” Aunt Song frowned and asked. She thought that it was ridiculous.
When questioned, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t say a word. She offered to help because she wasn’t cold-hearted, but if they doubted her and didn’t want her to help, she wouldn’t ask for trouble.
“Then do you have a solution?” Song Zhenyang asked his wife.
“I…” Aunt Song didn’t know what to say. She was a housewife. What could she do?
Leng Changyuan couldn’t stand their questioning and said, “If you believe her, then let her help. If you don’t, then she doesn’t need to bother with this. Anyway, she has nothing to lose.” Although he didn’t know if Leng Xiaoyao could actually do it, he believed that she wasn’t a liar.
Since she said it, she could definitely help them.
“Of course I believe you. Niece Xiaoyao, please help us out. If you need any compensation, just let me know,” said Song Zhenyang. He wouldn’t ask Leng Xiaoyao to help him for free.
“I don’t need compensation. It’s an easy task. I’ll do it after the meal,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“How will you investigate?” Song Xicheng asked curiously. His voice held no disdain like Song Xiaoxiao. He was simply curious.
“Hacking.” Leng Xiaoyao replied.
“Wow, you can hack?” Song Xicheng’s eyes lit up and he showed admiration.
Everyone was surprised.
They were impressed by Leng Xiaoyao’s abilities. Leng Yuqi, Song Xiaoxiao and Song Meiyu, however, were increasingly unhappy.
Although Aunt Song was a little jealous of Leng Xiaoyao, she wasn’t hostile. This time, she might be able to help her husband, so she still had some expectations. If Leng Xiaoyao could help, she would be grateful.
Song Zhenyang was very anxious and felt that the food was tasteless, but he patiently waited until Leng Xiaoyao finished the meal.
After dinner, Leng Xiaoyao went upstairs to investigate the identities of the relevant companies and people involved. She had already gathered some information during their conversation, but she needed to do more detailed research on things that Song Zhenyang didn’t know about.
“Can she really investigate this?” Aunt Song didn’t really believe it.
“We’ll know when she comes back with the result,” Song Xicheng said. He didn’t want to hear anyone else questioning Leng Xiaoyao’s abilities until they got concrete results.
Though that was because he personally had a high opinion of Leng Xiaoyao. If it were before, he would have been even more skeptical than anyone else.
