Chapter 573: Know Yourself, Know Your Opponent

As they entered the dining room, Su Bing and Su Li had already removed the mosquito nets from the dining table. Gu Zi had prepared the meal, timing it perfectly to coincide with his expected return. The food was still warm, ready to be served.

Su Shen guided Gu Zi to her seat, serving her a portion of rice before serving himself. The two brothers watched in silence, the scene etching itself into their hearts. They found it profoundly beautiful.

Once seated, Su Shen began to serve Gu Zi some dishes, initiating a conversation. “We’ll catch the thief tonight. Do you believe me?”

Gu Zi took a bite of the food he had served her, her manners elegant and pleasing. She wasn’t surprised by Su Shen’s words. “I believe you,” she said, “You’re always reliable. I’m not worried at all.”

She knew that his rush to the city the previous night was to solve a problem. She had complete faith in his words.

Su Shen nodded. He knew that his Gu Zi was intelligent. He wasn’t worried that his change of plans would affect her. She wasn’t easily influenced.

Before they retired for the night, Su Shen discussed the day’s events with Gu Zi. “The theft of the transformer was premeditated, but it wasn’t the people from Chen Village. It was done by our pig farm’s rivals.”

Gu Zi had already guessed as much. The people from Chen Village had no reason to steal the transformer and cut off the electricity to three villages, including their own. They were merely seizing the opportunity to frame the pig farm, forcing the Su family to bear all the costs.

Sitting in front of her vanity mirror, combing her long, seaweed-like hair, she asked curiously, “How did you find out so quickly?”

Gu Zi wasn’t curious about why the rivals chose to cut off the electricity to target Su Shen. As the wife of Su Shen, the owner of Daqing Pig Farm, she had been learning about the pig farm’s operations. She knew that Daqing Pig Farm’s biggest rival was Rich Pig Farm.

Based on the information she had, she could deduce that with the approaching New Year, the demand for pork was high. The power outage at Daqing Pig Farm would greatly reduce their efficiency, resulting in a significant decrease in the amount of Daqing pork reaching the market. The lesser-known Rich Pig Farm could then take advantage of the situation and make a fortune.

If the first step was successful, Rich Pig Farm would undoubtedly have further plans. They were always at a disadvantage in the normal competition. If they had already started using underhanded methods against Daqing, their goal was likely to bring down Daqing Pig Farm.

Thinking about this, Gu Zi couldn’t help but click her tongue. Indeed, business wars were just as ruthless and shameless in the past as they are now.

Su Shen watched her reflection in the mirror, her eyes bright and lively. He walked over to the vanity, took the wooden comb from her hand, and began to comb her hair. His movements were practiced, his gaze deep and confident. “To know your enemy, know yourself,” he said, “and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.”

“I haven’t told you this before, but I not only familiarize myself with the personal information of my own employees, but I also habitually understand and grasp the information of my competitors’ employees. Rich Pig Farm has an employee named Zhou Sheng, who is a distant cousin of the owner, Zhang Ke. He used to be an electrician in his hometown and was very skilled. However, due to financial difficulties, he came to Zhang Ke and has been working for him ever since.

“Recently, Rich Pig Farm has been quiet, and I have been on guard. I had noticed Zhou Sheng. When I was at war, I learned that a quiet environment doesn’t mean the enemy has given up. It means they’re gathering strength, preparing to strike a fatal blow.

“After the power outage, I rushed to the city overnight. On one hand, it was more convenient to go directly to the power supply bureau the next day. On the other hand, I wanted to track Zhou Sheng’s whereabouts. That night, Jin Long and I learned from Zhou Sheng’s wife that Zhou Sheng was in Guangcheng City, and he had just come from Rich Pig Farm to see her.”

Listening intently, Gu Zi began to analyze naturally, “So you think Zhou Sheng lied to his wife as well. He didn’t go to see her from Rich Pig Farm, but rather, after stealing the transformer, he took refuge at his wife’s place?”
