"A phone call? Okay, it's coming."

Li Weidong rushed into the main room and answered the phone.

Hello, who is this?

"Li Weidong? It's me, Ji Dahai!!"

The other person's voice was low and their tone was unfriendly.

Li Weidong was puzzled, but still smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, Boss Ji. What's up? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

He called Ji Dahai yesterday and asked him to save his phone number.

Unexpectedly, he called back today, and in such an unfriendly tone.

"What's wrong? What kind of junk did you send me yesterday? It was filthy and broken, completely unusable."

I thought it must be hard for you to deliver the goods so late at night, so I took all the mushrooms. I even trusted you so much that I didn't check the goods beforehand, but this is how you treat me?

"We've been working together for more than a year or two. What, you don't want to work with me anymore?" Ji Dahai rattled off a long string of angry words.

But Li Weidong was even more confused after hearing this.

"What goods? I didn't deliver any to you!"

"Don't play dumb with me. Last night, your aunt and cousin both said that you were the one who asked them to deliver it."

"My aunt?"

Hearing this, Li Weidong finally understood what was going on.

He quickly reassured him, "Boss Ji, please don't worry. It's true that they are my relatives, but I didn't order the delivery. The mushrooms I deliver are always cleaned, have their roots trimmed, and are well protected. There's no way they'll be broken. We've been cooperating for so many years, don't you know the quality of my goods?"

"So what exactly happened?" Ji Dahai was also confused.

"To put it simply, Mr. Ji, you've been scammed. I guess it's like this..."

Li Weidong told Ji Dahai about what had happened between him and his aunt, as well as his own speculations.

After hearing this, Ji Dahai burst into a tirade of curses.

“Your aunt is such a scoundrel! Isn’t she an ingrate? Brother Weidong, I’m so sorry, I didn’t understand the situation and wronged you.”

"Brother Ji, please don't say that. The reason you took all the mushrooms was entirely out of trust in me. I'm so grateful, how could I blame you? How about this, I'll cover the loss of this truckload, and I'll make up for it when my mushrooms are ripe."

"No way, this has nothing to do with you. In the end, you are also a victim. How can you bear this loss? This matter should be handled by the person who is wronged and the person who is responsible."

Upon hearing that he was going to cause trouble for his aunt's family, Li Weidong pondered for a moment.

"Brother Ji, if you're going to cause trouble for them, could I ask you for a favor?"

"you say."

"They are all my relatives..."

Ji Dahai frowned, thinking that Li Weidong was about to plead for leniency.

In business, the worst thing you can do is be indecisive and sentimental.

Even in this situation, Li Weidong still had to plead for them.

Li Weidong's good image in his mind has dropped another notch.

But just then, Li Weidong spoke up: "They are all my relatives, please, please don't let them go!!"
