Chapter 257: Divide First and Then Win Over
It was early in the morning and I was already feeling very hungry, and suddenly someone brought me some soft white buns.

You can imagine how great the temptation is.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang had just had a big meal last night, so he was not so hungry that he would eat anything.

Soon, his face darkened and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you determined to rely on me?"

Hearing this and seeing Li Guoqiang's very dissatisfied eyes, Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi felt a chill in their hearts, then lowered their heads and looked at the ground through a line of canyon, as if they were silently protesting.

"Alright! Let's stop here for now. Hurry up and pack your things and come with me to my house for breakfast."

Li Guoqiang waved his hand upon seeing this, then gave orders in a deep voice.

At the same time, he also reflected on himself in his heart, and felt that his mentality had been a little drifting recently, so he accidentally let others take advantage of him, thus putting him in a certain passive position.

Of course, this was also because Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi were together. Otherwise, how could he be so easily alone in a room with a young girl in this courtyard.

"That"

When Wu Zhaodi heard this, she immediately became anxious and wanted to ask Li Guoqiang whether he agreed to them.

However, the words were just on the tip of her tongue when she was stopped by Li Guoqiang's captivating gaze.

Helplessly, she could only reach out and pull Chu Meiling's sleeve, motioning her to follow Li Guoqiang's instructions.

In fact, she had thought about using hooliganism to threaten Li Guoqiang into submission, but what she wanted to achieve could not be solved in this house.

Even if he could force Li Guoqiang to agree, what would happen after he left this room? Wouldn't he still let Li Guoqiang have the final say?
Therefore, they agreed to exchange their bodies directly, and they would agree to any request made by Li Guoqiang.

The main thing is sincerity.

Seeing that Wu Zhaodi had already put away the steamed buns, Chu Meiling naturally followed suit.

Soon, the two of them finished packing.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang walked towards the door without saying a word, not giving Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi any time to react.

By the time they reacted, he had already opened the door and walked out.

At this point, even if they wanted to turn the tables, they no longer had the chance.

What's more, they have two people together. No one with a normal mind would believe that Li Guoqiang would do such an outrageous thing.

When Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi saw this situation, their faces suddenly turned very ugly.

After all, they have done so much, but still cannot be favored by Li Guoqiang. This can be said to be a silent humiliation.

However, even so, they had no way to deal with Li Guoqiang, because they were begging Li Guoqiang in the first place!

Just as they were trying to catch up with Li Guoqiang with their thoughts on their minds, they suddenly saw Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others walking in from the gate of the courtyard one after another.

"Hey! Why are you back so soon?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he saw Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia carrying large and small bags, and then hurriedly greeted them.

"Ah!"

Shang Xiuzhen chuckled when she heard this, then she laughed and explained, "It's not like we won't be able to go back in the future, so we thought about coming back early to help you set up the office."

"Yup!"

When Shen Fengxia heard Shang Xiuzhen's words, she nodded and said, "You don't know how happy my parents are to know that I can come back to the city. If I hadn't said that you gave me the holiday, they would have urged me to come back overnight!"

After saying that, she and Shang Xiuzhen looked at each other tacitly, then they followed Li Guoqiang into the courtyard, carrying bags of things.

In fact, the main reason why they rushed back so quickly was that they were worried that something unexpected might happen, which would invalidate the agreement between them and Li Guoqiang.

In addition, they were also a little worried that Pan Qiaoyan, that little bitch, would take the lead and establish a relationship with their older sister Luo Huijuan, thus putting them in a passive situation.

Li Guoqiang was naturally unaware of their little thoughts. As he led them into the house, he said with a cheerful smile, "You guys are back just in time. After dinner, you can help me take people to Dashilan, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and other places.

Then they don’t have to come back for lunch, just take them to eat all kinds of local specialties, such as bean juice, sausage, fried liver, spicy tofu, noodles with soybean paste, etc. I’ll give you the money later.”

Hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia were slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked: "Aren't you going?"

"No!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then replied softly: "I have something else to do!"

As he spoke, Qin Jingru's pretty, pure and pretty face quietly emerged in his mind.

Perhaps it was because of the sense of immersion in the film and television characters, or perhaps because older sisters are more caring, he felt that he would feel particularly comfortable when being with Qin Jingru.

Besides, since Qin Jingru has already made the request, he naturally has to respond as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if she couldn't hold it in and ran home, it would be troublesome.

"Oh!"

When Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia heard what Li Guoqiang said, they could only nod in disappointment and agree.

Little did they know that at this moment Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi were looking at them with envy and jealousy, wishing they could replace them.

In their opinion, they were only slightly inferior to Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia in terms of figure and appearance. Why couldn't they impress Li Guoqiang even though they had done so well?

And Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia, just because they got a little closer to Li Guoqiang when they were in Jinshanbao, were able to get the precious opportunity to work in the city?

Why?
In fact, what they don’t know is that many things in this world are like this. Often those who come first eat the meat, then those who come later drink some soup, and those who come later can only watch and drool.

In other words, they did not show goodwill to Li Guoqiang at the first time, and naturally lost the first opportunity to be chosen by Li Guoqiang.

Otherwise, there are so many women in this world, and if he accepts any of them, then even if he is made of iron, he will eventually be ground into dregs.

And this grinding is not the grinding of a millstone, but the grinding of torture.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, so many dramas every day, how could he possibly watch it all? Therefore, he did not make any promises to Chu Meiling and Wu Zhaodi, but was ready to take the opportunity to see if they could persist and keep the secret.

If they returned to Gold Mountain Castle by then and were still devoted to him and had not revealed any secrets, then why not try to get them into the city?
It’s true, the white flour buns they make are really soft and fragrant!
Soon, they walked into the house and saw Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan and others.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia hurriedly took out all the food they had brought from home, went to the kitchen and handed it to Luo Huijuan, feeling as if they were going back to their mother's home to get some benefits, and then coming back to honor the eldest lady.

When Luo Huijuan saw this, she didn't bother to be polite with Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia. She just took the things and gave a wink to Pan Qiaoyan who was helping with cooking.

When Pan Qiaoyan saw this, she immediately understood what Luo Huijuan meant. She hurriedly pulled Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia out of the kitchen and told them what Luo Huijuan had said to her before.

Among them, she mainly talked about Luo Huijuan's attitude towards them as concubines.

When Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia heard this, they were shocked at first, but when they found out that Luo Huijuan didn't object to them being with Li Guoqiang, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they reached out and pinched Pan Qiaoyan in annoyance.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Pan Qiaoyan immediately shouted angrily: "Why are you pinching me? This is none of my business!"

"Who said it's none of your business?"

Shang Xiuzhen's face darkened, and then she said with an unhappy look: "If you weren't a little bitch, thinking about how to hook up with Qiangzi all day, how could you let Sister Juan know about us so quickly?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fengxia immediately said, "In order to punish you, no matter what you do next, you must tell us first, otherwise don't blame us for bullying you together!"

"cut!"

When Pan Qiaoyan heard Shen Fengxia's threat, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said with disdain: "If you dare to bully me, I will tell Sister Juan and see how she will deal with you.

Also, don’t forget that I have already got Sister Juan’s recognition, but you haven’t yet!
If I were you, I would quickly think about how to tell Sister Juan later. If you fail to satisfy her and are driven back to Jinshanbao by Qiangzi, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen under the nervous gaze of Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia to report the situation to Luo Huijuan.

When Luo Huijuan heard that Pan Qiaoyan had told Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia about her attitude and what she had said before, she immediately gave Pan Qiaoyan an appreciative look, and then waited patiently for Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia to come and pay their respects to her.

Soon after, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia seemed to have discussed it, and then walked into the kitchen with their heads held high, stood behind Luo Huijuan with a well-behaved look on their faces, and shouted in unison: "Sister Juan!"

"Ok!"

Luo Huijuan nodded slightly in agreement, then turned around and looked at Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia with a calm expression.

"Sister Juan!"

Seeing this, Shen Fengxia hurriedly said in a flattering tone, "Well, you should already know about our relationship with Qiangzi. We promise you that we will listen to you and run our little family well in the future."

"That's right!"

Shang Xiuzhen heard what Shen Fengxia said and quickly said, "Sister Juan, please believe us. We all really want to live with Qiangzi."

"I heard"

After listening to this, Luo Huijuan did not speak directly, but asked back: "You have discussed it before, and you are ready to serve Qiangzi together, right?"

"Forehead"

Shang Xiuzhen hesitated for a moment, then seeing that Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan had no intention of denying it, she quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, we did agree to do this before."

"That!"

Luo Huijuan smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Then just follow my arrangements when the time comes."

After saying that, she turned around and continued to cook.

[No. Is this the end?]

Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia looked at each other in surprise when they saw that Luo Huijuan accepted them so easily.

When Pan Qiaoyan saw this situation, she suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

Thinking back to the beginning, she had scared Luo Huijuan quite a bit.

If she wasn't young and in good health, she would probably have been frightened to the point of becoming ill.

Originally, she was thinking about seeing Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia begging for mercy, but she didn't expect that Luo Huijuan would accept Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia so easily.

However, even though she was angry, she did not dare to say anything to Luo Huijuan, and in the end she could only roll her eyes at Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia several times.

Soon, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia reacted, and hurriedly came forward with joy on their faces, calling her "Sister Juan" enthusiastically and helping Luo Huijuan with the work.

When Luo Huijuan saw this situation, a very satisfied smile immediately appeared on her lips.

In fact, the main reason why she treated Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia differently was for two purposes.

One of them was to prevent the relationship between Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan from becoming too close, and the other was to make Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen grateful to her by treating them differently in this way.

It may seem a bit complicated, but to put it bluntly, it is just a trick of dividing first and then winning over.

Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia, and Pan Qiaoyan could all see this clearly, but even so, they could not control their hearts and did not let things develop as Luo Huijuan wished.

Unless they don't want to stay in the city anymore.

In this way, Luo Huijuan only used a little trick to firmly occupy the position of the eldest lady, and then brought Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia under her command. She only had to arrange the time and blow the charge horn, and they would be able to become a family completely.

Of course, before that, she would still have a good discussion with Li Guoqiang.

Soon after, with the help of Pan Qiaoyan and others, breakfast for more than a dozen people was finally ready. Then they took turns serving it to everyone in the room, as if they were all young wives who had just married into Old Li's family.

Then, after everyone had finished breakfast, Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan went to work in the factory as usual, while Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia were responsible for taking the others out to stroll around the city, and they also called Li Dawei, the head of the family. In the end, only Li Guoqiang was left at home.
