Chapter 1668 Interesting News About the Zheng Family
"Is the taste of the food really that similar?" Qiao Mei asked doubtfully.
"At first, I was also very doubtful. I asked someone to buy me a portion to try and the taste is really almost identical. We only use those few seasonings in our braised meat and then just stew it slowly. Many employees have left the factory recently. They may be the ones who are up to no good. No one can get the same type of seeds we have but there are many versions of popcorn similar to ours and at a much cheaper price," Qian'e said.
This was not surprising at all. After all, their products were very easy to manufacture and only needed simple tools. Qiao Mei's products were only popular because they used raw materials which were better than what the other manufacturers used. As long as the workers observed the process closely when working in the factory, any one of them would be able to go out and replicate the process.

Qiao Mei did not think of these people as a threat. Her key target audience was not the common people. No matter how much food the common people bought from her, it would not make as much money as selling her food products in the canteens of various companies and the government sector.
She had full confidence in her own products. What she needed was a chance to be introduced to these organizations. Qiao Mei had already troubled Xia Wen too many times because of the past matters concerning the factory and she did not want to disturb him anymore.
"It's fine, we'll think of a way later. Don't we still have the seeds business? As long as there's income from selling seeds, our business won't fail. There's also Lu Huai's transport business propping us up," Qiao Mei said as she massaged her temples.
"But there's nowhere for us to plant seeds now. We're about to run out of seeds in our warehouse. If this continues, we'll probably start to run out of money soon," Qian'e said worriedly.
Qian'e shook her head. Her whole life revolved around the factory recently and she did not have any time to pay attention to gossip. Furthermore, she had not interacted with Zheng Peng since they parted ways. She did not really care about the Zheng family.
The Zheng family and the Xia family enjoyed almost the same status in the military field since both families had contributed greatly to the country. However, the majestic Zheng family was starting to fall from grace.
Zheng Yuan, the only one from the Zheng family who was currently in the army, had no grand desires now. She only wanted to spend the rest of her life with Zhuang Hua peacefully and quietly. The two of them had already registered their marriage and moved to the family compound in their army base. They would only return to the Zheng family residence for a short stay during the new year and festive seasons.
Zheng Peng lived a luxurious and wanton lifestyle and sought out the company of women all the time. Every day, he barhopped and spent all his time in nightspots and was the dandy playboy who was never home. He did not have a proper job and spent all his time fooling around.
When Zheng Su could not stand it anymore, it did not take him long to find an arranged marriage partner for Zheng Peng. The girl's family was in business and her name was Yan Li. She looked like a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family. According to Zheng Su, she was a hundred times better than Qian'e.
Although Yan Li's family was not really well-known in the capital, they were still doing well enough to help the Zheng family out. At the very least. the Zheng family would not become too downtrodden when their family fortune finally waned.
When Zheng Su decided on Yan Li as his daughter-in-law, he did not even stop to consider whether Zheng Peng and her were compatible with each other. Zheng Su's only focus was that her family was doing quite well and was compatible with the Zheng family's status.
