Su Wu, who had thought the matter was over, was getting angry when he saw that Erpi was still being stubborn.
He needed to resolve the beverage factory issue as soon as possible, and he had no mood to deal with those messy things.
Moreover, after his rebirth, although he didn't intend to become a virtuous gentleman, he also didn't intend to ruin his new life.
He toasted Erpi, saying, "I'm busy starting my own business, I don't have time to deal with your mess. You can handle it yourself."
Erpi downed his drink in one gulp. "Brother, you've saved my life again. I know what you mean; you genuinely want to help me. But a man can't say no. How can I let a woman scheme against me..."
Listening to his bunch of twisted logic, Su Wu shook his head helplessly.
For a江湖人 (jianghu person) like Erpi, this is probably their way of survival.
Erpi refused to stop, and with his own affairs unresolved, Su Wu became inexplicably irritable.
Erpi looked at him with bleary eyes, and asked curiously, "Brother, you said you want to start a business, what are you planning to do?"
Finally, you dare to ask me about serious matters!
Su Wu's lips twitched. From the moment they met until now, this guy was finally willing to take him seriously.
He said seriously, "I was planning to open a beverage factory, but then...
After recounting his ordeal, Su Wu looked utterly dejected.
After hearing this, Erpi burst into laughter, "Your approach is completely wrong! What good is that factory manager of Hongtu Factory? If he could sell the factory, he would have done it long ago, and besides..."
He mercilessly belittled Su Wu, took a sip of wine with a smug look on his face, and then continued speaking.
"Tell me the truth, how much money do you have, and where did it come from?"
"3 million, given by my dad."
"Did your dad give it to you? What's your family's financial situation?"
"I'm a miner, I'm an illegitimate child, so what?"
"Damn, they must be rich!"
This time, Erpi finally started to take Su Wu seriously and stopped treating him like an ordinary, inexperienced college student.
He wiped his face and asked again, "Are you really planning to open a beverage factory?"
"Yes. We can't just sit around waiting to die," Su Wu said, half-jokingly.
“Okay, I’ll take care of it! But we need to spend some money to buy a decent antique, we’ll need it.” Erpi said seriously.
"Antique? Then wait a moment, let me see if this one works." Su Wu said, getting up and going back into the house to get the dragon-shaped bottle.
He didn't doubt that Erpi would lie to him; on the contrary, he believed that Erpi was capable of getting things done.
This is a trust that stems from past life experiences; no other reason is needed.
When Erpi saw the five-colored dragon-shaped vase, he was stunned.
"This is a really good thing! You didn't steal it from your dad, did you?"
"It was sold at a pawnshop in my hometown, but it looks nice."
"You're really something, this thing would cost at least 200,000."
"Oh, will it work? If it does, then take it and buy the factory for me. I'll give you 10% of the shares."
"Damn, who do you think you are? Do you think I, Erpi, would take bribes for doing things for my brothers?"
Erpi rolled his eyes, put the Panlong Bottle back in his bag and put it away, then looked at Su Wu seriously.
"This matter should be handled by Du Xiaomei's brother, Du Ziteng, who is also the brother-in-law of the corrupt wife. He happens to be in charge of this matter."
"What a coincidence. I can't just sleep with this girl for nothing, so I'll consider it a betrothal gift."
"Since you really want to get down to business, then I'll forget about my own little problems and get on with the important stuff for you."
A look of resentment flashed in Erpi's eyes; clearly, this had gone against his conscience.
As the saying goes, a petty person will seek revenge all day long; it seems he's giving up on getting revenge on the nanny because of Su Wu's situation.
By the time he finishes this matter, the nanny might have already made her move and run away.
Erpi lit a cigarette and sighed, "Sigh, actually, Du Xiaomei is quite pitiful. She's been a bastard since birth, and she's almost 40 and still can't lay a child. You just want to..."
Su Wu blinked upon hearing this. In this era, especially in wealthy families, it was a major taboo for a woman not to bear children.
No wonder she needs to see a psychologist; this woman is under a lot of pressure.
Erpi said, "That corrupt official must have countless lovers outside. If he really does, Du Xiaomei is truly finished. She wants a divorce, but she can't bear to give up her vast fortune."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu frowned.
Could it be that Du Xiaomei called the police in her past life not because she was stupid, but because she did it on purpose?
Thinking back on it now, Su Wu felt a chill run down his spine.
Judging from Erpi's words, it's not hard to tell that Du Xiaomei must also come from a cadre family. Would she be a fool?
The world is a treacherous place, and people's hearts are full of dangers. Perhaps Du Xiaomei was simply going with the flow.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Erpi.
It's truly a case of the turtle catching the fish, the fish playing with the shrimp, and in the end, they all end up at the fisherman's house.
However, there seems to be a new change now.
Su Wu said, "If that's the case, you can help Du Xiaomei. If things work out, she won't be grateful to you, and you'll definitely benefit from it too."
"Sister Xiaomei is very generous, but no matter how much I help, I'm not going to lend a hand. I've done all I can," Erpi chuckled.
Su Wu, however, said, "Now that we know the nanny is involved in something, we can set a trap. As long as we catch them in the act, what's there to be afraid of? That big corrupt official won't give in."
"Divorce won't work either, the key is that the other person has to leave with nothing." Erpi smiled bitterly.
"That's easy, just send the big corrupt official in," Su Wu suggested.
"Holy crap, bro, you're ruthless!" Erpi's eyes lit up instantly.
