There was a flash of anger in Long Fei's eyes, and he said gloomily: "It seems that you are very confident."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the younger brothers who were originally standing behind him instantly rushed forward and surrounded Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei.

It was a typical gangster look, and passers-by were scared and scattered.

Xie Qingxiao was not in a hurry. He looked up at Long Fei and said calmly, "I didn't come here to cause trouble today. I came to discuss cooperation with you. Long Fei, are you interested in listening?"

Long Fei, who was preparing to fight, said: "..."

"I beat up your people, and you actually came to me for cooperation?" Long Fei sneered: "Aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of those who are willing to follow you?"

As he said this, he looked at Xie Qingxiao with a bit more contempt in his eyes.

He did some immoral things, but he was also a man of brotherhood, otherwise he wouldn't have so many followers.

"Why are you afraid?" But Xie Qing said, "If you cooperate with me, you have to apologize to them."

"I apologize?" Long Fei was amused by Xie Qingxiao's naivety. The younger brothers behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter, and some even mocked Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao was not annoyed, he just looked at Long Fei: "It's not too late for you to listen to my cooperation plan first."

"Okay," after laughing, Long Fei was actually a little curious about what kind of cooperation plan Xie Qingxiao could come up with. He was so confident that he asked him to apologize to the person he had beaten.

"But only you can come in and talk to me," Long Fei deliberately made things difficult, pointing at Zhang Pengfei: "He can't come in."

Xie Qingxiao said quickly: "Okay."

"Brother Xiao," Zhang Pengfei was a little anxious when he heard this. How could he not let him follow? What if they couldn't reach an agreement and there was a conflict?

No matter how powerful Brother Xiao is, he can't defeat the crowd.

If he goes in, he can at least help out.

"It's okay," Xie Qingxiao said, following Long Fei into his tea room, which he had decorated to look elegant and unrefined.

Zhang Pengfei also went in, but could only sit in the main room, staring at Long Fei's men. Neither of them would give in to the other, and they looked like they would start a fight if the news of something wrong in the teahouse spread.

An hour later, the door of the tea room opened with a click, and along with it came a hearty laugh:

"Hahaha, great, great, the young are indeed formidable! Okay, then our cooperation is finalized. I'll make arrangements and contact you when the time comes to ship the goods!"

"Okay," Xie Qingxiao's faint smile also rang out: "Then those who were injured yesterday..."

"Oh, yes, brother, I have to apologize to you for this matter. Yesterday, my people were too ignorant and accidentally hurt your people. Alas, it's also my fault for not controlling my people well. I will prepare gifts and apologize in person! I'm really sorry!"

Xie Qingxiao: "The people below don't have good sense. Brother Long, you should exercise more control over them. Although the overall environment is much more relaxed now, we still have to do business legally and in compliance with laws and regulations in order to last long, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, you are right, Brother Xiao!"

"..." Zhang Pengfei was stunned. Did they really reach a deal? Did Long Fei really want to apologize to the person he had beaten?

"Brother Xiao, what is going on? What kind of cooperation are you discussing with Long Fei?" On the way back, Zhang Pengfei couldn't wait to ask Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao rode his bicycle in front and explained to Zhang Pengfei: "We will withdraw from the market here. Long Fei will buy goods from us and sell them in this market."

Zhang Pengfei???

They will definitely not lose out by purchasing goods from them. With Long Fei acting as the middleman, they can also save a lot of trouble. They only need to be responsible to Long Fei.

Long Fei gets the goods from them and distributes them to the merchants, making a profit from it.

This is truly a win-win situation!

"Brother, it has to be you," Zhang Pengfei said excitedly. He thought there would be a fight, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.

Xie Qingxiao did not comment: "Next, our main task is to increase the supply. I will talk to the meat processing factory later."

"Should the workshop also be hiring? Also, Brother Xiao, the workshop has been shipping later and later recently. Originally, it could be shipped at 3 o'clock, but now it has to be postponed to 3 or 4 o'clock. This can't go on."

"I'll go back and learn more," Xie Qingxiao said, "Leave these things to me. With this cooperation, there will be a lot less work to do. I'll give you half a month off so you can have a good rest."

Half a month?

Zhang Pengfei was delighted: "Okay."

Xie Qingxiao returned home at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xiangyi was chatting with Xie's mother and Aunt Zhao in the main room. Xie's mother asked Lin Xiangyi what she wanted to eat tonight. She said there were two ducks left in the backyard, so they could kill one and stew it tonight.

Lin Xiangyi quickly shook her head. During her confinement period, she ate so much meat that she vomited. Now she just wanted to eat something light.

Seeing her resistance, Xie's mother smiled and said she would make pork ribs and radish soup tonight.

Radish is good for relieving greasiness, so Lin Xiangyi agreed immediately.

Seeing Xie Qingxiao coming back so early, the three were a little surprised: "Why are you back so early?"

"I went to the next county today to negotiate a big deal. I didn't have much to do, so I came back early."

"No, what's wrong with your face?" Lin Xiangyi saw the wound at the corner of Xie Qingxiao's eye.

"Why does it look like someone scratched it?" Xie's mother took a look.

"It wasn't scratched by a woman," Xie Qingxiao glanced at his mother, fearing that his mother would think that he had done something wrong to his wife again. This kind of thing had happened before.

Facing her son's distrustful look, Xie's mother smiled awkwardly and walked away silently.

"Why are you teasing your mother again?" Lin Xiangyi hit Xie Qingrong and asked him to go into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Xiangyi took off Xie Qingxiao's clothes.

"What are you doing? The door is not even closed in broad daylight," Xie Qingxiao grabbed his clothes and looked at Lin Xiangyi warily, as if that innocent young wife would rather die than surrender in the face of a bully.

Lin Xiangyi laughed out of anger, pulled his collar forward, and said face to face: "Are you addicted to acting today? Are you happy to be beaten? Hurry up, don't smile at me, I want to see the wounds on your body!"

Yes, she could see that Xie Qingxiao had a fight with someone. His clothes were wrinkled and covered with dirt. If it wasn't a fight, what could it be?

"Do I look like I was beaten?" Xie Qingxiao let go of his hand, still a little unconvinced: "I only have this wound at the corner of my eye, not on my body. I just got scratched accidentally. His injury is much more serious than mine."

"Yes, yes, you are the best," Lin Xiangyi said unhappily. She lifted his clothes and found that there were really no wounds. She was relieved: "So who did you fight with?"

"Are you having trouble with your business?"
