A seemingly ordinary action contains great value.
"Even though I'm a little short on money right now, I still have enough confidence to handle these problems if it's for the sake of ensuring everyone has enough food and clothing to live."
When he placed the carefully prepared dish in the center of the table, a determined smile appeared on his face and his eyes revealed a fearless spirit.
Hearing this, Xia Yuqing showed a slightly complaining look: "If you can talk, just talk more, as if no one needs your help!"
There was a mixture of dissatisfaction and gratitude in her tone, and this complex emotion made it difficult to understand what she was really thinking.
After a brief pause, he added another sentence in an attempt to diffuse the awkward atmosphere, "Also, something might have delayed me tonight and I won't be able to return on time for dinner. Please find something to eat on your own."
This immediately caught everyone's attention. The two women looked at each other, exchanging subtle emotions in their eyes, trying to figure out more information from it.
"What exactly are you so busy about?" the two said almost in unison.
In response to their curious questions, Jinghong swallowed faster and explained nonchalantly, "We're just trying some small business projects to earn more money and improve our current situation. Otherwise, with just our current income, we'll probably go bankrupt soon."
As a clerk, his monthly salary is indeed only enough to maintain basic living needs;
Having to feed two more mouths to feed undoubtedly adds a lot of extra pressure, but this does not mean sacrificing existing quality to save money.
"So you are planning to get a super big order? Then what is the specific amount involved in this transaction?" Ms. Lu asked with her eyes wide open and full of curiosity.
After a moment's hesitation, he slowly answered, "Not much, just tens of millions, barely enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
Hearing such an astonishing number, the two women present were so surprised that they almost spit out the contents of their mouths...
Then the whole room was filled with screams: "Oh my God! I can actually get involved in such a big business! This is too unbelievable!!"
Until evening, the wonder and excitement still lingered in this small world...
Before it was time to get off work, Chu Jinghong was already filled with impatience and walked out of the office early.
The meeting time Zhang Tianzhe had arranged was at six in the evening. If he waited until the official end of get off work time, it would definitely be too late.
Located in the center of Jinling City, the club named Binjiang No. 1 is an extremely luxurious building with three floors.
However, few people know that there are actually two other secret spaces beneath this building. Although its current reputation is far less glorious than before, Zhang Tianzhe still insisted on visiting the scene in person, and brought his assistant to the place in advance, waiting for the arrival of an old friend.
His current situation is very complicated and sensitive, so most of the people who come to say hello are the younger brothers he used to lead.
What made him feel most depressed was that several of his capable assistants who had worked with him had undergone tremendous changes, and some of them even had influence far exceeding that of him, the former leader!
Although on the surface, he is still one of the important figures in a certain circle of contacts, but in fact, in today's world full of uncertainties, especially for this big city, there are at least dozens of people who can be compared with him or even have a more stable position.
So when encountering these familiar faces, many eyes reveal disdain and indifference.
"Oh my, which deity has come here? Isn't this our famous Mr. Zhang! Hahahahaha!"
A big man with a shaved head spoke in a harsh voice, with a hint of provocation in his words.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianzhe slowly turned back to face the other person, his tone calm but sharp: "Ah, isn't this my good buddy Long Ge whom I haven't seen for a long time? Long time no see."
Such a straightforward and slightly cold answer obviously made the short-haired man feel quite embarrassed.
He quickly glanced at the few people standing behind Zhang Tianzhe and accompanied him, then asked in an increasingly cold tone, "What do you mean by this? You've brought a few seemingly insignificant friends with you. Aren't you afraid that we might harm you? Or perhaps, deep down, you've already given up on continuing in this line of work?"
After all, he was once a leader, but now he only leads these few seemingly insignificant subordinates. All the smart people present can see how ironic this scene is.
Even if they were asked to take action, it would only add to the ridicule, and the ultimate result would only be to lower Zhang Tianzhe's image status in people's minds again.
In response to this question, Zhang Tianzhe chuckled softly and said with a firm gaze, "Don't be so pessimistic. The real masters I invited haven't appeared yet. As for the initial stage, the team of partners I have entrusted to me are more than enough to deal with you all."
His words revealed a strong sense of confidence and courage, as if he was declaring to the world - no matter how difficult the situation he was facing, he would never easily bow to fate and admit defeat.
After saying this, he walked forward with his assistant, laughing loudly and walking steadily towards his seat.
The bald man was puzzled when he saw Zhang Tianzhe being so calm and composed, and immediately gestured to the side.
A young man quickly approached. If Zhang Tianzhe were present, he would have recognized this man as one of his former employees. He had never expected that the friend he had once sworn to be his friend had already betrayed their common goal.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I really want to know, what kind of stuff can you find?" the bald man asked in a low voice. Although it was a whisper, he still couldn't hide his inner nervousness.
The young man nodded, a little embarrassed. "It's a man who looks to be around twenty years old."
"A twenty-something brat?!" the bald man chuckled sarcastically, his tone filled with contempt. "It seems Mr. Zhang is truly senile, pinning all his hopes on a young man like this!"
Soon, the competition began.
This place is always gloomy, and unless someone dies, the judges usually choose to turn a blind eye to the cruel acts carried out here.
However, in round after round of competition, all those who represented Zhang Tianzhe in the competition were defeated before they could last more than a minute. One of them had to be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately due to serious rib injuries.
The audience was immediately filled with laughter and ridicule.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang must have run out of ideas! I thought he would bring us something new, but the result turned out to be like this!" A man said bluntly with a sarcastic tone.
