Zhe Shangzhe's office.
They were both somewhat surprised when Chen Zhe and Zhao Rui handed them the purchase order.
"Big brother, do we need that many?"
Last night, the three of them became sworn brothers. Zhao Rui was the oldest, followed by Wang De, and then Chen Zhe.
Based on age, Chen Zhe naturally called Zhao Rui "elder brother".
"Hey bro, this is nothing. This is just the first purchase. The place we're going to has extremely low productivity. The people there are lazy and don't have any factories. The factories there are all opened by people from our country. So we usually bring our own supplies. This project will last for several years, and we'll continue to come and make purchases later."
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment, then pushed the purchase order to him.
"Brother, I can help you find a factory. I can't do things like being a middleman and making a profit."
Zhao Rui laughed; “Third brother, how can this be called making a profit? Putting aside the fact that there are so many kinds of goods on the shelves that I have to go around to buy them, just talking about quality and safety, without your supermarket's endorsement, even if you introduce a factory to me, they might not be willing to do it properly. You are my brother, and I can only feel at ease when you are helping me check things out.”
"Well... alright, since you put it that way, I won't refuse. I'll lower the price for you a bit more..."
"Hey hey hey!! What are you doing?"
"Brother, I can't give you the normal market price; you have to give me a discount."
"Stop it! Are you crazy? Just give me the same amount you wholesaled to others. I can't let my brother lose money."
"Brother, if I don't offer you a discount, I'll feel guilty if you come to me."
Why do we need connections in this world?
Using connections is all about getting a cheaper price or a better deal, isn't it?
If a relationship doesn't bring you any benefit, is there any point in having it?
"Third brother, listen to me. I'm not doing this at a loss. The worst thing we can do in business is to make all the money. We should all make money together so that the business can last. I can't let you work for nothing, right?"
"this……"
"Just listen to me, that's the decision. If you want to do business with your brother for the long term, then do as I say."
Seeing Zhao Rui's determination, Chen Zhe nodded.
"Alright, I'll listen to my elder brother."
"Yes, that's right. I'm leaving in a few days. I've been stuck with that house for so long that I haven't been able to go anywhere. But I don't want to think about it anymore. Let them demolish it if they want. It's better to look forward."
"Yes, yes, it's best if that's what you think, brother."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. There are still many things waiting for me at the company. I'll probably be very busy during this period and won't be able to come over for a while. When you go to the hospital to visit Lao Er, please say goodbye to me for me."
"Okay, I understand."
After seeing Zhao Rui off, Chen Zhe felt much better. He had thought that the road ahead would be dark, but life had given him an unexpected result.
Nothing unexpected happened at the supermarket today, and some of the employees who were injured have returned to work.
Judging from the current situation, it won't be long before the business returns to its former glory, and Hu Ling won't replace him.
While one side rejoices, another side naturally suffers.
At this moment, Wei Ming and the other two standing outside Zheshangzhe Square had gloomy expressions.
"President Wei, what should we do? Their business is really good. As long as Zhe Shang is around, it will be very difficult for Lifulai to survive."
Wei Ming glared at Tian Dongqiang; "Am I an idiot? Do I need you to remind me?"
Tian Dongqiang didn't dare to utter a sound after being glared at by him.
Wei Ming looked at Cai Jing again.
"Master Cai, you've seen what happened. Those flagpoles have been destroyed, and it's impossible to put them back up. What should we do about this?"
Cai Jing pondered for a minute, then said, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a risky approach."
"Is there any way?"
Wei Ming asked.
"Zhe Shangzhe's resurgence in popularity is all thanks to this kid Chen Zhe. This kid is born with a Qilin destiny, turning bad luck into good. Plus, he's currently experiencing a period of great fortune, so generally speaking, we can't harm him. However, I destroyed the feng shui of his ancestral grave, so his luck is low now. We can only take advantage of this opportunity to strike him to ensure Lifu's safety."
Wei Ming's eyebrows twitched.
"You mean you're going to attack Chen Zhe?"
"Yes, this is the only way."
Wei Ming hesitated; "But Hu Ling is behind him..."
“President Wei, you can’t be timid. If you don’t take this opportunity to get rid of him, the only outcome will be the collapse of Lifulai.”
Cai Jing is not a kind person; the fact that he can articulate this plan so fluently clearly indicates that he has done this many times before.
“President Wei, I think Master Cai is right. Things have come to this point and we can no longer tolerate it.”
Wei Ming nodded; "Okay! Let's go back and discuss it."
...
Chen Zhe has been staying at the supermarket very late these past few days. The supermarket has just started to improve, and many key employees of the company are still in the hospital. Wang De is also unable to be by his side to help him, so he has to make many decisions himself.
Fortunately, Hu Ling allowed him to not go to work at the club during this period; otherwise, he would be too busy to keep up with both jobs.
"Sigh, I really can't do it all by myself... It seems I still need to hire some people."
Chen Zhe hailed a taxi and got in to go back.
The next second after he left, a man's figure emerged from the darkness.
He picked up the phone and made the call.
"The target has boarded the bus."
"receive."
...
A large truck was parked beside an empty road. It seemed to have a problem, and a person was using tools to repair it.
If someone looks closely, they'll see they're just putting on an act.
"Boss, it's past the appointed time. We've been gone for so long, we should have arrived by now, right? Why haven't we seen anyone yet?"
A bald man also seemed puzzled.
"Yeah, even with traffic, he should be almost there by now. Why is it taking so long? Could it be that he's not taking this route?"
"Boss, should we make a call and ask?"
"Okay, make a call."
The thin man picked up his phone and made the call.
"We haven't seen him yet, has he really gotten on the bus?"
"I saw him go up there with my own eyes, didn't you guys notice?"
"Impossible. My boss and I have been waiting here for a long time. We've carefully checked every car that passes by, and there's no license plate like the one you mentioned. Does he not take this route?"
"Impossible. I've been following him for several days. He takes this route every night. There's no way he's wrong."
"But we didn't see anyone!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"Don't worry, that road is the only way to Linglong Club. He might be on business somewhere else right now. Wait a little longer, I'll stay here and keep watch. If he comes back, I'll let you know as soon as possible."
"Alright, that's the only way."
After hanging up the phone, the two had no choice but to sit and wait. There was a roadblock at their feet that could easily puncture a car's tires if they simply threw it out.
...
1:00 late at night.
In a rented room, a man and a woman were having passionate lovemaking.
After the noise in the room subsided.
As usual, Chen Zhe got up and put on his clothes.
The reason he came over tonight was because he received a call from Wu Qingli, in which Chen Zhe expressed his desire to hire more people to work at the supermarket.
Wu Qingli happened to recommend a few good candidates to him, so the two met.
It was still in the rented room that Wu Qingli had rented.
Wu Qingli, who was half-lying on the bed without clothes, felt a little resentful when she looked at Chen Zhe, who was already dressed.
"Was it necessary to rush? Is someone waiting for you at home?"
Chen Zhe smiled. "No one is waiting for me, but I'm not used to staying out overnight. After all, I have to go to work tomorrow, and you have to go to work too, right? Besides, don't you have a son waiting for you at home?"
Wu Qingli rolled her eyes at him.
"As for work, it's not far from here to your supermarket, much closer than Linglong Club, isn't it? My son is being looked after by my mother, so I don't have to go home tonight..."
Wu Qingli phrased it very tactfully, meaning she wanted Chen Zhe to stay.
Chen Zhe understood, but he still showed no intention of staying.
He prefers to be alone in the evenings, as this allows him to think more clearly about problems.
"I can't. I still have some documents left in my dorm, and I need to get them tomorrow."
Wu Qingli pulled the blanket over her head.
"Then get lost!! Don't come looking for me again!!"
There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
Chen Zhe didn't pay much attention to her feelings; in his heart, Wu Qingli didn't hold that position yet.
The relationship between the two can only be described as slightly beyond friendship; they cannot be considered boyfriend and girlfriend.
Chen Zhe opened the door, went downstairs, and took out his phone to hail a taxi.
But I didn't know when it started raining outside, and it was raining quite heavily.
The taxis I called took a long time to arrive, and several even refused to take my fare.
After all, it's not a short distance from here to Linglong Club. It normally takes more than an hour to drive there, and the road is even more congested on rainy days.
Fifteen minutes passed, and Chen Zhe still hadn't been able to hail a taxi.
Somewhat helpless, he turned around and went upstairs, knocking on the door of the rented room again.
I knocked for several minutes, but no one came.
Having no other option, he had to call Wu Qingli.
"What's wrong? Are you asleep?"
"Chen Zhe, I'm not asleep. I'm a little scared..."
"Hmm? What are you afraid of?"
"There's a pervert knocking on my door, knocking really loudly. Do you think it might be a home invasion robbery?"
Chen Zhe laughed, a laugh that left him speechless.
"Please, I was the one who knocked it!!"
"Oh, you didn't go back?" Wu Qingli's voice was filled with surprise.
"The rain is too heavy, so we can only stay here for the night."
"Okay, I'll open the door right now!!"
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Wu Qingli stood there wearing a very revealing nightgown.
She covered her full, snow-white breasts with her hands, her smooth thighs were exposed to the air, and she wasn't even wearing slippers.
"You scared me to death just now, I thought you were really a pervert..."
Seeing her pitiful appearance and her revealing attire, he couldn't help but lick his lips and rush over to hug her tightly...
...
On an empty highway.
The torrential rain continued to fall. In order not to miss any cars, the bald man and his henchmen remained waiting by the roadside without getting on a vehicle. Both of them were soaked to the bone.
The younger brother wiped the rain off his face.
"Damn it! Why isn't that bastard here yet? What time is it?"
...
