Chen Dahuang hadn't figured out what was going on, but Chen Dafa seemed to have realized something. He quickly turned to Chen Dafa and said, "Brother, this isn't right. It seems like Tang Ping came specifically for us."
After listening, Chen Dafa frowned and remained silent.
Chen Fei, standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, it was this Tang Ping who came to our house and overturned the table, and even took us to the police station for detention. He's Chen Shuting's lover. I said I wanted revenge, but my dad wouldn't let me. Look, now it's even affecting Second Uncle's business!"
"Shut up!"
Chen Dafa slammed his hand on the table.
Chen Fei immediately fell silent, but his face was still full of resentment.
Beside him, Chen Dacai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiaofei, your dad is right not to let you fight. Do you know why? Before, when we were poor, we could risk our lives to fight others. But it's different now. Our family is rich and powerful. We need to use our brains, understand?"
Chen Dahuang said, "But brother, although Xiaofei is impulsive, his words are rough but his reasoning is sound. That bastard Tang Ping ruined my place and now he's stealing my second brother's business. It would be too frustrating if we didn't fight back, wouldn't it?"
He owns the place, and closing it for a day would cost him a lot of money; it pains him to see it go.
Chen Dafa glanced at him and said calmly, "When did I say I wouldn't fight back? I just didn't expect Tang Ping to retaliate so quickly. The most important thing right now is to secure the second brother's bidding project."
"Hehe, that's true. I've poured a lot of money into this bidding process. I also spent money to persuade the other construction companies to withdraw. If we lose this bid, our construction company will probably have no choice but to go bankrupt," Chen Dacai said casually.
Actually, he was anxious too.
But the construction company wasn't just his; the eldest brother, Chen Dafa, had shares in it, and the third brother, Chen Dahuang, had also invested hundreds of thousands of yuan.
If nothing goes wrong during the bidding process, all three brothers will suffer huge losses.
Therefore, Chen Dacai acted very steadily because he understood that as long as their interests were aligned, the eldest and third brothers would definitely do their best to help him.
They are brothers, but they scheme against each other and each has a hundred tricks up their sleeves.
Chen Dahuang quickly replied, "Yes, the bidding starts tomorrow. I know where that guy surnamed Tang lives. Let's just find someone to beat them up and make them get out of Jianning."
"Don't give me any bad advice. I've already found out where it is. All of Tang Ping's dozens of employees live together. They're all tough guys in the underworld. If you want to go there and cause trouble, how many people would you have to send? If you make too much noise, do you think the police station is just for show?" Chen Dacai glanced at him and said.
Chen Dahuang spread his hands and said, "Then what can we do? Anyway, I have no idea. You guys figure it out, I'll just carry it out."
"Damn, I think we should just arrest Chen Shuting's son. Tang Ping is Chen Shuting's lover. Let's see if he still dares to bid then," Chen Fei said.
"Can you shut up? If not, get out of here!"
Chen Dafa glared at his son and said angrily, "How could I have given birth to such a thing as you? You have no brains at all."
Chen Fei was severely scolded, and Chen Dafa's wife quickly pulled him aside.
After his anger subsided, Chen Dafa made a decision: "Going to their door to provoke them is definitely not an option. However, aren't they also going to bid tomorrow? Let's prevent them from entering the bidding center. Using normal and legal means, even if the police come, they can't do anything to us."
"Brother, you mean...."
Chen Dacai was starting to understand what he meant.
...
The whole pig feast prepared by Lao Sheng was indeed sumptuous, with braised, boiled, and deep-fried pigs prepared in various ways.
They also have freshly grilled lamb chops, which are very fragrant and spicy.
The brothers ate until their mouths were greasy, and after they were full, they returned to the company dormitory.
There were no entertainment activities tonight, and Tang Ping told everyone to get some rest early, as tomorrow's bidding was the most important thing.
The dormitory rooms at the Jianning branch are relatively few and the conditions are currently somewhat basic.
"Tang Ping!"
Tang Ping was about to squeeze in with Hu Xiandong when Chen Shuting suddenly called out to him.
"The night is long, and I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep. It turns out that Miss Shuting can't sleep either?"
Tang Ping walked over and asked with a smile.
"Have some seriousness! You're always so glib and smooth-talking. I don't know where you learned that from," Chen Shuting said, glancing at him with a hint of annoyance.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "Hehe, what's wrong? The bidding is tomorrow, are you feeling uneasy?"
Chen Shuting shook her head and said, "It's not that bad. I've never considered Chen Dafa's family as any kind of opponent. I just feel bad that you had to make such a long trip and use so many of Jinghai Company's resources. Besides, it's not really worth it."
"There's no such thing as worth it or not. Don't feel burdened. Think about it, even if we understand a lot of principles, we still can't live a perfect life. In short, just do what you want to do and don't overthink it."
Tang Ping, holding onto the balcony with both hands, said with a smile.
This was entirely to help Chen Shuting. Tang Ping felt it was worth any price to pay for his woman.
Moreover, after arriving in Jianning, Tang Ping discovered new business opportunities.
Although Jianning is a small county, it relies on its mountains for its livelihood and is rich in mineral resources. Moreover, the natural scenery of these mountains is perfect for developing into a tourist area.
Hearing this, Chen Shuting glanced at Tang Ping, smiled, and said, "Well, I feel much better now. Go to sleep early, we have to go to the bidding center early tomorrow morning."
There was no one on the balcony, so Tang Ping sneaked closer and kissed Chen Shuting's delicate face. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Hu Xiandong snores when he sleeps. How about I stay in your room for the night?"
Chen Shuting chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. Go back to your room and sleep. Your general manager, Bai Xiaojie, is in the same room as me. I've learned quite a bit about you from her."
"Damn it, the worst thing about this is having a traitor. No way, Bai Xiaojie, I'm going to dock all her salary next month!"
Tang Ping stared wide-eyed, realizing he had made a mistake.
If I had known, I should have rented another building; it would have been a great opportunity to be alone, but I wasted it.
Tang Ping wasn't worried about Bai Xiaojie betraying him.
He knew Bai Xiaojie very well; this woman was absolutely loyal to her boss.
...
At eight o'clock in the morning, the streets of Jianning were bustling with traffic, and the two-lane cement road was very congested.
There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how small towns are—it's rush hour every morning and evening.
Old Sheng drove two sedans over and also brought a few vans. This is his hometown, and he's a local bigwig here, so getting a few vehicles is no big deal for him.
