After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

weekend.

Su Mo has arrived.

She was "invited" by Chen Xinyi.

The reason is also very much in Chen Xinyi's style:

"Senior year of high school is stressful. Come over for a nice meal this weekend, and while you're at it, help your younger brother—no, he's your older brother. Help your older brother improve his parkour record."

Sulei followed along shamelessly.

In her words:

"I'm not comfortable with that. Your place is a den of wolves, and if I put my little black bird... no, I mean my sister in there, she'll probably come out with a thick skin."

"Shedding its shell won't work," Chen Xinyi said with a smile. "At most, I'll take off my clothes."

Sulei: "..."

We started to get to know each other properly.

The whole family witnessed what it means to be a "super gaming prodigy and a hardcore internet addict girl".

Su Mo was playing a mobile game in the living room when Jin Shilin leaned over and glanced at her account.

Max level in the entire game, collect all characters, and rank in the top 200 in PVP nationwide.

Jin Shilin gasped.

Sulei explained expressionlessly from the side:

"From a young age, if you give her a screen, she can sit quietly all day. My uncle and aunt thought she was studying, but she was actually playing games. I only realized later that this girl's good grades were purely due to her intelligence, and had nothing to do with whether she worked hard or not."

Wei Yi's gaze towards Su Mo immediately changed.

That look in his eyes was like Columbus discovering a new continent, or like Malaysia discovering e-commerce.

It was filled with the burning desire that "our family needs this kind of talent."

Su Mo kept her head down the whole time, and when she was praised occasionally, she would whisper "No, no".

Her face turned red from her ears to her neck the whole time.

But she was indeed very happy.

It was mostly compliments from the older women, which could be considered polite formalities.

But the brother's burning gaze and attitude were as genuine as could be.

As the saying goes, "High mountains and flowing water meet a kindred spirit," and now she and Wei Yi are like "high mountains meeting foul water."

The filth in that game must be blamed on her, the mountain in that game.

And besides...

Aside from being a high achiever in games, she is also a formidable figure in gaming.

She also has two mountains that are no less impressive than Chen Xinyi's.

Skillful.

Someone loves this kind of food because he grew up eating his older sister's food!

So he really likes this younger sister!

She's more considerate of him than people like Jiang Wan or Wu Jingshu.

For now, I'll be in the same row as Tongtong.

After all, Tongtong is a plus version of Chen Xinyi in terms of beauty and figure.

Sulei could tell that he liked him.

Her timid and cowardly cousin.

She laughed more in these two days than she had ever seen in all her previous years.

This made Sulai admire her grandfather greatly.

The woman who was pushed forward was Su Mo, whom she felt was the most useless person in the family.

It's actually a special edition designed for someone!

Old ginger is indeed spicier.

As Su Mo was changing her shoes in the entryway, she asked Chen Xinyi in a low voice, "Sister Xinyi, can I come again next weekend?"

Chen Xinyi pinched her cheek: "Silly child, this is your home from now on. Come anytime. Oh, and remember to call me Big Sister."

"Mmm. Big sister..." Momo blushed and said softly.

Even Wei Yi came out to see her off; it was clear he was really reluctant to part with her.

After all, the two of them were just fighting in the game.

No, to be precise, Su Mo was the one who carried him away.

Seeing this, Sulei sighed again.

Grandpa, you really are Grandpa.

December.

Early ten days.

It still hasn't snowed in Yanjing.

But the wind blowing on my face was undeniably too cold.

It felt like being slapped by a stepmother, one slap after another, and it hurt terribly.

Sweet Ice Cream and Heytea now have more than forty stores in the capital city.

Xinyi Catering was managed by Chen Xinyi.

It has become a dark horse that has emerged in the capital's tea beverage circle.

The tree catches the wind.

The first Monday of December.

Liu Yang came to visit.

This is a sharp-tongued girl from the capital who speaks and acts with the decisiveness of a knife.

This time, his face carried an indescribable solemnity.

She was accompanied by Zhao Min, Senior Sister Li, and Wang Xueli.

Kim Se-rin and Lin Si-yeon both returned ahead of schedule.

Aunt Zheng and Aunt Li were busy in the kitchen.

There will be a lot of people tonight, so we need to add more dishes.

Chen Xinyi had bowls and chopsticks set out on the long table and personally poured tea for everyone.

After Liu Yang sat down, he put his bag aside and got straight to the point: "Mixue Ice Cream has entered Beijing."

Zhao Min added, "To be precise, they came here a while ago. They opened shops here two or three years ago, but there weren't many shops back then."

Liu Yang: "Yes. Before Sweet Ice Cream took off, Mixue Ice Cream only had five stores in the capital, all located in the suburbs, and it was barely surviving."

"But in just two months, they signed ten new stores and started to expand into university towns and commercial districts."

"Fifteen venues." Zhao Min picked up her teacup and took a sip. "And that's only the ones that have already been signed. As far as I know, they're still in talks with several other venues."

Chen Xinyi didn't pour tea; her smile simply faded slightly.

Jin Shilin frowned: "Are they targeting us?"

"No, to be precise, it's borrowing from them, that is, following our lead."

Senior Li pushed up her glasses. "I've seen their new store's decor, and it's very similar to Sweet Ice Cream's style. The color scheme, menu structure, and even the pricing of those few products at the entrance to attract customers are all copied from Sweet Ice Cream."

Liu Yang nodded: "That's right. Our Sweet Ice Cream targets the lower-tier market with a cost-effective approach. That's what they've always done. Now that they've found that we've succeeded in this market in the capital, they naturally want a piece of the pie too."

"And it's outrageous. Their stores are crowding into the spaces right next to ours. Every time we open a store, they open one right next to us. And their prices are 50 cents to a dollar lower than ours."

Zhao Min interjected, "The key is their mature supply chain. With thousands of stores nationwide, their procurement costs are lower than ours. In a price war, we actually don't have an advantage."

Chen Xinyi listened.

She put the teapot down and calmly took a sip of tea.

Her attitude made Liu Yang uneasy: "President Chen, say something!"

"Didn't you already make your move?" Chen Xinyi smiled, her tone confident.

Liu Yang and Zhao Min exchanged a glance, then both smiled.

Zhao Min spoke first: "Of course. My uncle put in a good word, and recently a food safety and fire safety inspection was conducted on Mixue Ice Cream stores in Beijing."

Liu Yang chimed in, "My aunt and I have also been working on it. They have food business licenses for several new stores, and they were almost ready to go through the process, but now they're being asked to submit additional materials. It won't be approved for at least a month or two."

Zhao Min added, "And their store in Wudaokou, which was supposed to open at the end of the month, has been shut down by the urban management officers because of some issues with the renovation approval process."

Wang Xueli pushed up her glasses, her voice still low: "You guys are... making good use of the rules?"

She quickly lowered her head after she finished speaking.

Because there was a younger brother over there who was always flirting with her.

The electric shock made her feel numb all over.
