Wang Peng continued strolling through the supermarket, feeling very comfortable, with every pore of his body radiating a sense of ease.

Upon receiving the news, Du Lei hurriedly led two managers downstairs and found Wang Peng in the beverage area, thus revealing Wang Peng's whereabouts.

"Brother Peng, you look so young! I thought you were a middle-aged man."

"Yes, yes, I think so too. Turns out you're not an old man at all, but a handsome young man."

"Brother Peng, do you guys need any more people? I've always dreamed of working for you..."

The girls surrounded Wang Peng, behaving very enthusiastically, like fans chasing after celebrities.

The boy remained calm, at most greeting Wang Peng before pushing his shopping cart away.

Wang Peng smiled and chatted with them, trying his best to answer their questions. Looking at their somewhat enthusiastic faces, he felt very happy.

As the crowd grew larger and larger, obstructing other students from attending class, Wang Peng had no choice but to end the conversation, put on his mask, and leave.

He didn't go far, just strolled around the drinks section. Watching people choose from various beverages, he felt inexplicably comfortable.

Du Lei said with a smile, "Brother Peng, we started out in the liquor business. Every time I come to the liquor section, I can't calm down."

“Me too.” Wang Peng nodded and reached out to touch the liquor on the shelf.

"Brother Peng, I just sent someone to the Brilliant No. 5 store..." Du Lei chuckled, "It's a disaster there, the customer traffic is even less than usual."

"Yes, this was expected." Wang Peng was now 100% certain that the people of the provincial capital preferred Brother Supermarket.

"I'm worried that Wang Cheng might do something desperate, and what if he tries to take us down with him..." Du Lei didn't dare to continue.

"Fight to the death? He doesn't have the guts!" Wang Peng sneered and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not worried about him fighting to the death with me, I'm worried about him running away."

Running away? Du Lei frowned immediately, trying to decipher the meaning of those two words. Was Wang Cheng planning to cash out and leave, settling abroad?

He hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Peng, if Wang Cheng runs away with the money, that would be too easy on him."

“Yes, we can’t let him get away with this. You should adjust your work plan and start preparing earlier,” Wang Peng said.

"I know, I'll call a meeting right away." Du Lei gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

He would never let Wang Cheng, who had been causing trouble for Brother Peng, get away with it. He wouldn't be satisfied until Wang Cheng went bankrupt and was sleeping on the streets.

Wang Peng sensed Du Lei's emotional instability and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lei, don't worry, I won't let him get away with this."

Hearing this, Du Lei was relieved: "I will keep a close eye on his every move; he can't escape."

Wang Peng smiled, and the two continued to stroll around the drinks area.

A moment later, a saleswoman came over and said, "Boss, has anyone ever told you that you're so handsome?"

"Haha..." Several female sales clerks laughed, and the girl who had spoken quickly hid behind the crowd.

Du Lei was both amused and exasperated, and teased, "Good heavens, you guys dare to flirt with the boss, are you rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?"

"No, you're wrong," the sales clerk retorted. "Brother Peng said that we are all equal, employees and bosses are the same."

The girl who spoke was very cute, and Wang Peng was amused by her, giving her a thumbs up: "You're right, we are all proletarians."

All the brothers knew that Wang Peng was approachable and Du Lei never abused his power, so they were not afraid of them and often joked with them.

The two brothers arrived at the upscale beverage section, where a young woman ran over and said, "Brother Peng, I want to hug you."

Wang Peng was startled again, leaning back tactically: "Girl, why?"

The girl said, "I'm Lin Xiaoqi, a new employee. Thank you for giving me this good job."

Du Lei leaned close to Wang Peng's ear and whispered, "Five hundred people are competing for two job openings, and she's one of them."

"I see." Wang Peng smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoqi. "President Du is in charge of our personnel work. Why don't you hug him?"

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Lin Xiaoqi was a cheerful girl. She gave Du Lei a hug, which made him blush.

Two sales clerks nearby, who were watching the commotion, couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Wang Peng smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaoqi, work hard and try to buy yourself a house as a dowry."

"Brother Peng, I've calculated it. As long as I work for three years, I can buy a house in the provincial capital. But it won't be easy for you to marry me," Lin Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Comrade Xiaoqi, what are the conditions for marrying you? Do you want a bride price?" Du Lei asked casually.

"That depends on the person. If you and Brother Peng marry me, I won't ask for a bride price; in fact, I'll give you a dowry instead," Lin Xiaoqi said proudly.

Wang Peng was amused by her again and laughed heartily, giving her a thumbs up: "Thank you for being able to afford me."

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me." Du Lei waved to her and left with Wang Peng.

The werewolf left the drinks area and went to the fifth-floor office area, where he sat by the window and looked at the scenery.

"Brother Peng, this is the utopian enterprise you wanted, isn't it? Everyone's chatting and laughing, making money happily together," Du Lei said.

"Utopia? That's just wishful thinking." Wang Peng shook his head.

Just then, his phone started vibrating, and he answered it and put it to his ear.

"Xiao Peng, this is Hu Yong." Hu Yong's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Director Hu, I'm Wang Peng." Wang Peng stood up and walked to the window.

"I have good news for you. The district committee has unanimously approved the proposal to develop the abandoned warehouse of the cotton and linen factory into a parking lot," Hu Yong said.

"Really? That's great!" Wang Peng immediately clenched his fist excitedly.

If that vacant lot were developed into a temporary parking area for bicycles and motor vehicles, the capacity of Store No. 5 could be greatly increased.

The situation of massive crowds like today can be greatly alleviated.

Hu Yong said with a smile, "Xiao Peng, you should thank Lao Chen properly; he actually voted in favor."

"Yes, I will thank him properly." Wang Peng smiled slightly, thinking of Chen Mancheng who was about to retire. "Director Hu, when will construction begin?"

"Don't rush, the process isn't finished yet. It'll take at least two or three months," Hu Yong said.

"Great, that's really good news." Wang Peng was overjoyed and chatted happily with him.

The two chatted for half an hour about the development of the cotton and linen factory.

After hanging up the phone, Du Lei asked impatiently, "Brother Peng, I just heard the cotton and linen factory warehouse. What's going on?"

Wang Peng said with a smile, "The Huihuang District has decided to develop the abandoned warehouse of the cotton and linen factory and transform it into a public parking lot."

"What?" Du Lei stood up abruptly and said urgently, "If this is true, then Brilliant Store No. 5 is finished. They won't be able to hold on for long."
