Just as a ray of sunlight was shining into Li Peiqiang's room, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door in a daze.
Upon discovering that the visitor was Jiang Hai, he frowned slightly and said, "Manager Jiang... no, I should call you Boss Jiang, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Because of yesterday's unpleasantness, Li Peiqiang's tone was also unpleasant when he saw the people around Ye Beiping.
They not only slandered Jiangnan Leather Factory, but also deceived him.
He had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill, which was extremely painful.
Jiang Hai smiled and, carrying his things, walked directly into the room without asking any questions.
"Director Li, these are some gifts that Beiping asked me to send to you as compensation."
gift?
Li Peiqiang was stunned. Even after things had escalated like this, Ye Beiping would still send him something.
Could they have poisoned it?
This idea was quickly banished from Li Peiqiang's mind. This is a society governed by law. It's just a business deal falling through; poisoning is definitely out of the question.
But when he saw Jiang Hai take out the gifts, his eyes widened in surprise.
A whole strip of gold, no... it should be a gold bar.
Li Peiqiang panicked instantly: "What...what are you doing?"
Isn't this blatant bribery?
This gold bar is quite heavy, weighing a full 250 grams, which is equivalent to a pound of gold.
Based on the current market price of 25 yuan per gram, this would amount to over 6,000 yuan.
Seeing Li Peiqiang's flustered expression, Jiang Hai smiled and said, "This is just a small token of our appreciation. You know it, I know it, heaven knows it, and no one else will know."
This time they really went all out, spending over ten thousand yuan to prepare two half-pound gold bars specifically for Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming.
They usually wouldn't be willing to spend this much money; the total cost is almost equivalent to the small courtyard house Ye Beiping bought.
But when it really matters, the money still needs to be spent.
Ye Beiping reminded him last night that this is a time of crisis, and any money that can be spent can be earned back.
Li Peiqiang hesitated. Even if he worked as the head of the sales department his whole life, he might not be able to save up a 500-gram gold bar.
With Xu Yun's words still echoing in his ears: "Director Li, now that you're on this boat, getting off will definitely be tough. Why not take a gamble? What if you succeed? Besides, Director Hou will retire in a year. Will the higher-ups appoint a new director, or will Ye Beiping, a major client, help you secure the position? The choice now is crucial."
That one sentence kept him from sleeping well all night.
Upon seeing the gold bar, Li Peiqiang's heart sank, as if he had made a decision: "Go back and tell Boss Ye that I will give him an answer at noon."
"Okay." Jiang Hai, still smiling, said goodbye, left the gold bars behind, and left the room.
He turned and went to Wei Daming's room.
He repeated the same words to Wei Daming, and in the end, he ended up with the same fate as Li Peiqiang.
Although he didn't verbally agree, he left behind gold bars, indicating that the matter was almost settled.
Jiang Hai was happily preparing to go back and tell Ye Beiping the news after finishing his business.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaolong rushed over to Ye Beiping's house.
"Brother Beiping, something's happened."
Ye Beiping was at home today to see how things were going with Jiang Hai. He didn't believe the other party wouldn't budge after he'd spent a fortune.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hai didn't receive the news he was waiting for, but instead received bad news about Tang Xiaolong.
"What happened?"
This incident happening at this time is definitely not a good thing, and Ye Beiping was also a little uneasy.
Tang Xiaolong looked around the living room and found that Ye Beiping was alone. He guessed that Su Xinyi and the others had gone out, so he spoke without any hesitation: "Brother Beiping, something happened at the warehouse. A group of police came over early this morning and said they were going to seal it off temporarily. Old Wu, who was guarding the warehouse, has been arrested. I'm afraid the police will find us soon."
Tang Xiaolong has many informants in this regard, and not all of his stall vendors have left; they still sometimes go to the warehouse to get goods.
Upon receiving the news, Tang Xiaolong immediately rushed over to inform Ye Beiping.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping frowned deeply.
"I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
As if he had known all along that something would happen at the warehouse, he muttered something to himself and then fell into deep thought.
Tang Xiaolong asked anxiously, "Brother Beiping, should we run away?"
Cough cough!
These words almost made Ye Beiping choke, and he gave Tang Xiaolong a disgruntled look.
run?
Where can it run to?
Even if they dragged their families back to Pingba Village, something bad would still happen.
Tang Xiaolong saw Ye Beiping glare at him and immediately shut his mouth obediently.
At this point, Ye Beiping probably needed time to think, so I could only wait anxiously by his side.
"Beiping, the matter is settled."
While the two were deep in thought, Jiang Hai's voice came from the doorway.
Ye Beiping immediately stood up, walked towards the door, and asked happily, "Is it really done?"
"Yes, yes." Jiang Hai nodded emphatically and said, "They didn't return the items, so I think this matter is almost certain. It cost some money, but it's finally done."
"Really?" Tang Xiaolong looked at Jiang Hai excitedly.
They all knew about what happened last night, and Tang Xiaolong naturally knew about the gift-giving today as well. They had already explained why the gifts were being given last night.
Now that things are done, it means there shouldn't be any major problems with the warehouse.
Jiang Hai was slightly surprised to see the two of them so excited: "What's wrong with you two?"
