Chapter 38

This family, once completely unknown, had attracted widespread attention thanks to their new product. In particular, Lin Xiangyu, the head of the Lin Family, had become the focal point of public interest, hailed as the new rising star of Tiannan City. Meanwhile, in the fast-food industry, competition was fierce between international giants like KFC and McDonald's and local brands such as Dicos and Wallace. The latter attracted franchisees with more accessible pricing, creating a unique market landscape. While their product offerings were similar, their differing pricing strategies allowed them each to carve out a niche. However, returning to the story of Lin Xiangyu, she faced accusations of stealing a medical formula from Gu Yuan and using that knowledge to achieve commercial success. Gu Yuan, once the "useless son-in-law" the Lin Family had been eager to discard, had recently regained his freedom after three years in prison. The stark contrast between him and Lin Xiangyu made her public image all the more complex. Though the authenticity of her achievements was a subject of much debate, she had indeed become a figure whom many families vied to curry favor with, all for the sake of obtaining franchise rights to her family’s products.
