Chapter 93 Whispering to the Boss
The eldest brother's pace is as fast as lightning and unfathomable; it's definitely not something an ordinary person can keep up with.
Zhang San and Li Si all shut up. They had no knowledge of Gaofeng Town and dared not utter a word, fearing that saying too much would lead to making a mistake.
Luo Shiliu stroked his chin: "I heard that Li Chengbin also has people in Gaofeng Town, but I don't know if they are Li Chengbin's underlings or just some insignificant subordinates."
"It's easy to deal with the underlings who are paid to do things. If they can't beat you, they'll run away with their tails between their legs. But if it's those hot-tempered henchmen, you need to have some fighting skills to keep them in line."
"but."
Luo Shiliu changed the subject: "Having a couple of small knives and guns can also make them obedient..."
Their obedience doesn't mean Li Chengbin will obey; Li Chengbin is the one who will receive special attention.
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then whispered something in a small circle where only a few people could hear him.
Luo Shiliu was slightly surprised, but quickly recovered: "This is what we should be doing. We're laying bricks and building walls every day, and my hands are almost rusting from all that work."
Zhang San and Li Si stared in disbelief, their mouths agape for a long time before they finally managed to utter a sound: "If the big boss finds out about doing this, we'll completely lose all respect for each other."
Luo Shiliu sneered: "He's giving you face? What a joke! You think that just because you do a few things for the big boss, he'll treat you like a brother? Yes, he's a brother who's pushed out to take the blame. If one dies, there's one less source of profit."
Luo Shiliu is the person who has been with Xiao Cheng the longest. They have encountered countless things, big and small, and have analyzed and solved countless events together. Their thinking and direction are now largely the same.
In their line of work, you must always be aware of your place; acting on emotions will only hasten your demise.
The last shotgun incident was a lesson learned; if it weren't for Bai Lu, they would be in jail by now.
The big boss didn't treat them like human beings, so why would they rush to risk their lives? They'd rather die than get a tattered straw mat to cover their bodies. Ah Biao is a bloody example of this.
Zhang San and Li Si also thought of Xiao Zhongbiao's tragic end, and their minds instantly cleared.
"It's all about interests. People die for money, birds die for food," Xiao Cheng said casually.
He turned and left.
Looking at that tall and imposing figure, Zhang San and Li Si felt that he had reverted to his former ruthless ways.
But it's not entirely...
They don't seem to be so straightforward; they don't just do things directly, but rather resort to underhanded tactics and dirty tricks in the shadows.
We've worked together for so long, and none of the brothers have ever seen their eldest brother like this. I wonder if his wife taught him to do this?
When Bailu returned from buying groceries at the market, she noticed someone was following her, so she picked up a brick and put it in her shopping basket.
As I walked home, the footsteps behind me never stopped, but they always kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
They didn't chase after us as we passed through the alley.
It seems he wants to go home with her.
Bai Lu narrowed her eyes, stopped opposite Zhang Sao's house, which was neither too close nor too far from her own home, and refused to move.
A new convenience store opened near Zhang's house. It's not exactly packed with customers, but there are always a few people coming and going.
There's a corner to the right of the convenience store, and Bailu is leaning against the wall, holding a brick and waiting for someone.
She had just looked back and saw that it wasn't some burly, strong man. Judging from the quick retreating figure, it was a thin, young man who looked somewhat familiar.
After waiting for a long time, no one came.
As Bai Lu was wondering, a remarkable figure suddenly came into view. The cold-faced big shot was holding a lump of something... the back of the collar of a slender person and threw it in front of her.
Five meters away.
Dust filled the air, but it couldn't reach her face.
Bai Lu quickly hid the brick behind her back, landed lightly, and ran briskly to greet the big boss with a big smile on her face.
"You're back! Who is he?"
The girl grabbed Xiao Cheng's sleeve, his cold eyes softened, and he kicked the person lying on the ground.
"Playing dead?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare!" The person on the ground immediately raised his head and used his hands to support his body, which was aching from the fall, as he got up.
Bai Lu then saw clearly the face of the man who was grimacing in pain but still had to smile obsequiously at the big boss: "Chen Dafu?"
Yes, it's me.
Chen Dafu felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer all over his body. Afraid that Xiao Cheng would throw him again and break his bones, he quickly explained, "I didn't follow you home. I just... I just wanted to talk to you about the roasted chestnuts."
Bai Lu didn't think there was anything more to discuss. As for Chen Chunli's booming sales channels, whoever wanted them could go for them.
She doesn't want to.
She only collaborates with sensible people to make money.
Xiao Cheng took the vegetable basket from Bai Lu's hand, turned his arm slightly, and led her home.
Clearly, they were unwilling to listen to Chen Dafu's nonsense any longer.
Chen Dafu was still a bit dazed from the fall, and it took him a while to realize that he hadn't gotten to the point. He hurriedly chased after him.
“I’m not here to plead for my sister’s cooperation. I’m here to sell roasted chestnuts with you myself. It has nothing to do with my sister. I’m not cooperating with her.”
“I won’t sell in Qingshui Town. I’ll sell in other towns. My sister won’t find out.”
Chen Dafu was also afraid of being discovered by Chen Chunli and being beaten or scolded to death, so he had long ago set his sights on the market in other towns.
Seeing how much money Chen Chunli received that day, his desire to make money began to stir within him.
He hadn't dared to approach Bai Lu for a long time, fearing the consequences of being discovered, but in the end, he was won over by the prospect of making money.
As long as he goes to a farther place to sell roasted chestnuts, he won't be discovered by Chen Chunli, and Chen Chunli won't embezzle his money.
He can keep the money he earns, secretly save it, and do whatever he wants in the future.
Bai Lu, still clutching Xiao Cheng's sleeve, leaned closer and whispered, "Is this person reliable?"
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly: "He's been bullied by Chen Chunli and has developed his own little schemes."
"My mind works occasionally."
Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh. The way the big shot evaluated people was unique and distinctive.
"Isn't he afraid of being discovered by Wang Hao?"
Wang Hao doesn't care about him.
"What if he goes to a town further away to sell his goods and encounters a situation like Wang Cuihua's? Will he abandon his stall and run away, or will he come back to us to resolve the issue?"
"He'll find a way to solve it himself."
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu walked ahead whispering to each other, while Chen Dafu followed silently behind. He wouldn't give up until he got a definite answer, since Xiao Cheng hadn't chased him away anyway.
Working hard at the brick factory, you don't even make 300 yuan a month. Selling roasted chestnuts can earn you more than 60 yuan a day. Only a fool wouldn't do it, but you'd beg and plead to work there.
He would follow them home and try to find profitable sales channels.
The whispers continued all the way to their doorstep.
As the two were about to enter the house, Chen Dafu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, hesitating whether to follow them in.
If I go in, will Xiao Cheng throw me out?
If it falls out, it falls out.
"Come pick up the goods at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Just as Chen Dafu made up his mind to shamelessly follow them in, a huge windfall came his way.
To everyone's surprise, Boss Bai had already entered the house, and Xiao Cheng was closing the door to block all view.
Chen Dafu felt energetic all over, his body, which had been hurt from the fall, recovered instantly, and he ran home as fast as if his legs had a motor.
He's going to make money!
They're about to turn their fortunes around!
