Chapter 1937: The Meng Siblings from the Meng Family Have Arrived
The shopkeepers and stores that had been observing Lu Ji Store were utterly bewildered. Overnight, how did the entire Prefectural city become engrossed in discussing Lu Ji's grand opening?
Even the customers visiting their shops were fervently discussing it, as if anyone in the city who wasn't aware of Lu Ji's opening was considered out of touch.
How was this achieved? Wasn't it just a few days ago that the cargo convoy came to town, taking a stroll from the government office to Fu Yuan Street? Even if it did cause some commotion, it shouldn't have escalated to this extent, right?
Shu Yu was quite satisfied with the commotion. Sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, she said to Jiang Fengshou across from her, "Well done."
The effectiveness of the advertisement was truly powerful. This display of momentum was even more sensational than the catchy rhyme that had spread from Dong'an Prefecture. The catchy rhyme had been spread by children playing around, and some people might not have paid attention if they hadn't wanted to.
But the current advertisement by the Changjin Prefecture covered all aspects. Shu Yu's identity and Meng Yunzheng's achievements had become the most potent and persuasive slogans. Moreover, the target audience was precise, catering to the spending women and influential gentlemen.
Furthermore, this advertisement wouldn't just focus on the opening day; its impact would extend for quite some time.
Jiang Fengshou touched his nose, chuckling, "Um, can I order a braised pork elbow to take home?"
Shu Yu, "...", It's true, like father, like son.
She helplessly raised her head and called over a waiter, "Bring another braised pork elbow."
As the waiter left, Shu Yu had just put her hand down when she noticed Ying Xi heading upstairs towards them. Two people followed behind her.
Before Shu Yu could make out their features, one of them quickly ran over, saying, "Sister Shu Yu."
"Ah Han?" Shu Yu blinked, then looked at the approaching Meng Qi, "Why are you two here?"
"We came with Ying Xi," Ying Xi, who had sent Tang Wenqian's parents to Chenggu County to meet Tang Wenqian early yesterday morning, had returned today, and Meng Han had come with her. "My father said that the shop will be opening in a few days, so he asked me and my brother to come and help. We're family, no need for formalities."
Meng Han sat beside Shu Yu, hugged her arm, and affectionately spoke.
Meng Qi also nodded towards Shu Yu.
The Meng family had been busy lately. Meng Qi was no longer attending school and instead was diligently practicing martial arts. His father had been seriously injured recently, almost losing his life. Although he was fine now, such a severe injury left lingering effects, not to mention that Meng Xiaoshu had accumulated numerous old and new injuries over the years, resulting in significant physical damage.
Unfortunately, the Meng family had been given the Emperor's plaque, presenting them with a rare opportunity to expand the Meng Family Escort Agency. During this time, they were busy with both expanding the agency and recruiting new escorts, leading to a multitude of tasks.
Before, Meng Pei was there to help, but now that he had moved to the Quansheng Escort Agency, all these responsibilities had fallen onto Meng Xiaoshu's shoulders.
Seeing Meng Xiaoshu occasionally showing signs of fatigue, Meng Qi suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders. He had grown up and it was time for him to shoulder the responsibilities that came with it.
After experiencing the events of the black market, Meng Qi had become more mature.
During such a busy period, the siblings coming over to help was a genuine gesture of goodwill.
Shu Yu helplessly said, "We're managing here."
"That's not necessarily the case. Your opening day is bound to be bustling, and with us here, we're prepared for anything."
Meng Han said this playfully, not realizing how prophetic her words would be.
