After hearing Dong Shishi's description, Wang Peng found the whole thing hilarious.

Fortunately, she didn't let Du Lei pay off her debts.

“Brother Lei, you were wrong. You made a mistake, so of course you have to take responsibility for it.”

Wang Peng said, "I think it's wrong for you to take the blame for others and reduce the cost of their mistakes."

Du Lei scratched his head and said, "I just felt sorry for her, but what I did was really wrong."

After educating Comrade Du Lei, Wang Peng turned to Dong Shishi.

"We're all human, and we all make mistakes sometimes, which is normal."

"Some people, when faced with this situation, would simply give up and accept their bad luck. You didn't give up, which is something I should learn from."

Wang Peng thought about it carefully and realized that if he gave someone a few dozen yuan more in change, they probably wouldn't bother to chase after it.

"Brother Peng, don't try to comfort me, I'm so embarrassed."

Dong Shishi was embarrassed. "How could I have been so confused? How could I have mistaken fifty for one hundred?"

"As for what happened later, I think it's normal. People are greedy, and so am I."

Wang Peng gave a thumbs up and said, "Congratulations on finally overcoming your greed. That's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Du Lei was relieved; the big boss wouldn't fire Dong Shishi because of this.

“Brother Peng, you and Sister Mingzhu are both good people,” Dong Shishi said.

Wang Peng shook his head. "The guy who gave you the wrong change happened to be sitting across from my house. I chatted with him for a bit and found out what happened."

"Huh?" Dong Shishi was completely dumbfounded.

There are just so many coincidences. If we hadn't overcome our greed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Not only did he lose his job, but he also lost the fifty-two yuan he had tried to illegally possess.

Thinking of this, Dong Shishi felt a pang of panic.

"Shishi, do your best here," Wang Peng said with a smile.

Dong Shishi stood up and vowed, "Boss, I will definitely work hard."

Just then, the phone rang, and she quickly answered it.

The next second, Dong Shishi hurriedly covered the microphone, "It's Principal Wang on the phone."

Wang Peng answered the phone, "Hello, Principal, this is Wang Peng."

"Xiaopeng, do you have time tomorrow? We can talk about that order again?"

Wang Peng smiled slightly, "Teacher, there's really nothing to talk about. As long as you let me earn two thousand, I'll do it."

"Okay, I'll let you earn two thousand."

Wang Simei said, "You can start preparing the goods. I'll give you three days."

"Teacher, please wait until I finish speaking."

Wang Peng said, "I have one more condition: give me the money first, and I'll prepare the goods for you."

"Wang Peng, isn't this going too far?"

Wang Simei got anxious on the phone, "What kind of logic is this, paying in advance? Are you the only one in the whole country selling cigarettes and alcohol?"

"No, if you don't agree, then we won't cooperate."

After saying that, Wang Peng hung up the phone immediately.

My wife once told me in my past life that a university in the provincial capital was heavily in debt, and the creditors had even come to the school and jumped off buildings.

This order is worth more than 30,000 yuan. If the other party defaults on the payment, the tobacco and liquor store will lose money.

"Brother Peng, what kind of business can make two thousand yuan?" Du Lei asked in a low voice.

"The provincial government ordered over 30,000 yuan worth of cigarettes and alcohol, but only gave me a profit of 2,000 yuan."

Wang Peng shook his head. "The profit margin is one thing, but there's also the risk of not being able to collect payments."

"Then let's not do it. We can't afford such a big risk." Du Lei hurriedly shook his head.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Wang Peng looked at the caller ID and, sure enough, it was the same number as before.

He answered the phone, "Hello, teacher."

"Xiaopeng, I'll give you 30% upfront, and the rest after the goods arrive..."

"I won't do it for a penny less." Wang Peng hung up the phone again.

His face looked rather grim, and the air suddenly fell silent.

"Brother Peng, why is he so persistent in bothering you? Does he think you're easy to manipulate?"

Du Lei whispered, "You're their student. Even if they owe you money and don't pay it back, there's nothing you can do."

“Brother Peng, that must be it.” Dong Shishi nodded hurriedly.

Wang Peng nodded in agreement; this was one of the reasons.

Another issue is that his price might be lower than others', and others might think that a profit of 2,000 yuan is too little and therefore not take his orders.

"Brother Peng, let's insist on payment first, then delivery. We absolutely cannot let them rip us off."

Dong Shishi looked at Wang Peng with a very determined gaze.

Just then, the phone rang again, and Wang Peng immediately turned on speakerphone.

Wang Simei's voice came through the telephone.

"Wang Peng, does Dong Shishi from the art class work at your shop?"

“Yes, please go ahead,” Wang Peng said.

"I'll give her poverty alleviation funds out of respect for you, understand?"

Beep beep beep, this time the other party hung up first.

The implication was that if Wang Peng did not compromise, he would cancel his assistance to Dong Shishi.

Wang Peng laughed in anger, thinking to himself, "Does he think Dong Shishi is having an affair with me? Otherwise, why would he use Dong Shishi to threaten me?"

The air grew even quieter, and Wang Peng and Du Lei both looked at Dong Shishi.

Dong Shishi was stunned; Wang Simei's shamelessness was beyond her imagination.

She stared blankly at Wang Peng.

After a long silence, Dong Shishi said, "He's mentally ill. I can't threaten you. I'm not Sister Shishi."

Upon hearing this, Wang Peng and Du Lei's expressions changed simultaneously.

It couldn't be easier for a school to discipline a student.

Du Lei suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If he dares to make things difficult for my sister-in-law, I'll chop off his hand."

"Nonsense, if anyone's going to chop someone up, it'll be me." Wang Peng laughed angrily.

“Brother Peng,” Dong Shishi said, “I think I understand now. He just wants to renege on your debt.”

"Don't worry about me, just don't fall for his tricks," Dong Shishi sneered.
