Tiger has thoroughly tasted the sweetness of money and power in this past month.

Although he was only assisting Master Hei's confidant in managing the business, everyone below knew that he had caught Master Hei's eye and treated him with great respect.

Even his trusted confidant treated him with some deference.

Not to mention the distributors, who kept sending him all sorts of gifts and red envelopes.

This also fueled his ambition.

If I could get rid of this assistant position, wouldn't I earn even more money in the future?

That's why Tiger mustered up the courage to speak.

Instead of getting angry, Master Hei burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you've got guts!"

"Now that you know how to manage the shop, I'll hand the business over to you and just let Tan Jun come back."

Tan Jun, his trusted confidant, immediately bowed and said, "Okay," upon hearing his words.

After saying that, he flattered Hu Zi, saying, "Hu Zi, from now on, the liquor business in Mengbei County will all be in your hands."

"To have reached this position at such a young age, your future is limitless. Don't forget me then!"

Tiger, flattered by the praise, waved his hand and said, "That's for sure. I've been very grateful for your guidance this past month, and I will never forget your contribution."

The word "merit" made Tan Jun's face darken slightly, but he didn't show it at all; instead, his smile became even brighter.

After reviewing the account books, Master Hei was in a good mood and suddenly asked, "Tiger, what do your parents do?"

Tiger's expression darkened slightly when this was mentioned.

“My mother was framed by that little bastard Li Weidong and is in jail.”

Tiger gritted his teeth with hatred when he talked about this: "As for my dad, he went out to work, and my relationship with him was so strained by Li Weidong that it was like we were no longer related."

After being kicked out of their ancestral home by Zhao Xiufen and her sister because of the Yuan Datou incident, the father and son began to blame each other.

Zhao Shunqiang hated him for his reckless actions, which ultimately led to his wife and children being separated from him.

He also resented Zhao Shunqiang for only making sarcastic remarks, and the father and son had a complete falling out.

Some time ago, he had some money and asked someone to inquire about Zhao Shunqiang, telling him that he now had money and could rebuild his house.

But Zhao Shunqiang refused to come back, even saying he didn't have a son.

Tiger wasn't without temper, so he simply stopped contacting him.

"My parents aren't here..."

Master Hei sized him up and said with satisfaction, "It just so happens that I don't have a son either. How about we become godparents?"

Tiger was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

The infamous Fourth Master Hei wants to become his godfather?!

Tan Jun realized what was happening, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "Fourth Master wants to take you as his godson, what are you waiting for?"

"Quickly kowtow to your godfather!"

Tiger suddenly realized what was happening and was overjoyed. He knelt down with a thud: "Godfather!"

"Good, good son!"

Master Hei laughed heartily: "Let's work together, father and son, to make the business bigger and stronger!"

Tiger added, "Let's crush Li Weidong!"

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

After waiting for so long, I've finally got my chance!

Now that I have money and manpower, why should I worry about not being able to deal with Li Weidong?

However, Master Hei said, "Tiger, some things can't be rushed."

"Godfather, you mean..."

Tiger was somewhat confused.

Master Hei let out a long breath: "I know you hate him, but that kid is indeed quite capable. His Yimeng Group is the heart and soul of the people in our northern Inner Mongolia region."

In today's society, it's harder than climbing to heaven for ordinary people to make money.

But with the emergence of Li Weidong, things changed.

As long as you can join the village collective and grow vegetables in greenhouses, you won't have to worry about money.

The whole family doesn't have to do anything but take care of the vegetables in the greenhouse. When the vegetables are harvested, Li Weidong will send someone to collect them.

All I have to do is wait to collect the money.

The work was easy and the money was plentiful, allowing the whole family to live a good life. In everyone's eyes, Li Weidong was almost like a bodhisattva descended to earth.

Master Hei patted Tiger on the shoulder: "That kid is formidable. It won't be that easy for us to take him down."

"What we can do right now is to make the liquor business bigger and better. Once we've built up enough strength, we can slowly start to help him out, understand?"

Tiger wasn't stupid; he immediately nodded and said, "I understand, Godfather. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

"good."

Master Hei nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "Go on with your work!"

After Hu Zi left, Tan Jun couldn't help but say, "Fourth Master, if you wanted to take on a godson, you could have found one anywhere. Why did you choose such an idiot?"

"If Zhao Huzi had any brains, he would never have turned against Li Weidong in the first place."

He had already investigated Tiger's background from the beginning, and when he saw the investigation results, he only said one sentence: "He played a good hand terribly."

As a relative of Li Weidong, he successfully persuaded Li Weidong to agree to let his family grow mushrooms.

If Hu Zi hadn't developed those wicked schemes and had just honestly followed Li Weidong, he would at least have gotten a minor official position in the Yimeng Group by now.

Instead of things like now, where my mother is in jail, my father has severed ties with his family, and my family is no longer a family.

Even if you could get control of the liquor business from Master Hei, it wouldn't be as good as having the whole family together in harmony.

Master Hei glanced sideways at Tan Jun: "You think he's stupid?"

"Absolutely stupid!"

Tan Jun made no attempt to conceal his malice.

Master Hei burst into laughter: "You're right, he is indeed stupid, but there's one advantage."

"That means he's always trying to be clever, and he hates Li Weidong a lot."

He looked up at the door and let out a long sigh: "Zhang Guoliang went to see Li Weidong."

Tan Jun was startled, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes: "You mean..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the two of them have joined forces."

Master Hei tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "Li Weidong ruined my plans twice. Even if I did nothing, he wouldn't believe I would let him off the hook."

"He is a smart man, and what would a smart man do when faced with potential danger?"

Tan Jun replied, "Is it better to strike first?"

"Yes, it's all about striking first."

Master Hei nodded, his expression somewhat grave: "For the past few years, Zhang Guoliang has been relentlessly attacking us like a mad dog, and now he's joined forces with Li Weidong."

"I can't predict when they will make their move, and Tiger is the best vanguard."

A cold smile appeared on his lips: "Let Tiger go first and fight Li Weidong. We'll stand behind."

"That way, if anything happens, we can sacrifice the pawn to save the king!"
