Xiao Zhenyu's expression was calm, but his eyes held a deep sense of inquiry.
It was as if they wanted to see through the person opposite them and know what they were thinking.
Xu Xiangyang met his gaze, and after a moment of thought, slowly said, "Director Xiao, I remember there's absolutely no cooperation to discuss between our two factories, right? Could it be that you're planning to order new work uniforms?"
In theory, work uniforms should be standardized, but they vary from factory to factory.
Some are gray, some are dark blue.
Work clothes and protective clothing are all pretty much the same; these are things that factories have already partnered with, so it's unlikely that they'll get their turn.
Xiao Zhenyu remained expressionless upon hearing this. After a moment, he said, "Director Xu, let's be frank. I know you deal in things on the black market. I have a batch of goods that I'd like to sell at a low price."
"I called you here today to talk about this. Don't worry, it's definitely a good product."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang felt a surge of shock.
However, he remained calm, only looking at the person opposite him with a puzzled expression.
"Director Xiao, when did I start dealing in things on the black market?"
Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "If you have anything, I can buy it, but not too much. You know, my salary is only a little over two hundred a month, and I have to support seven people."
On the surface, he showed no flaws, but Xu Xiangyang had already begun to ponder in his mind.
They knew nothing about the black market, not even their families.
Aside from Wang Zhongshan's suspicions, the family members knew nothing about the matter.
Moreover, he had no friends, so how could Xiao Zhenyu possibly know?
Could it be that we're going to blow him up?
Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Xiangyang is determined not to admit it today.
Whether you really knew or not, or whether you bombed him, you absolutely cannot admit to this.
No matter how good the products are or how much money he makes, he doesn't care.
Compared to making money, Xu Xiangyang cares more about his safety.
With space available, he can make money anytime, and not just from these.
Therefore, he refused to admit it no matter what.
Xiao Zhenyu was not surprised by Xu Xiangyang's denial, but just looked at him meaningfully.
"Director Xu, I sincerely want to cooperate with you. You know I'm from Beiping, and you should know the quality of our products."
His tone was gentle, yet captivating.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have tested the waters.
Unfortunately, the people he was facing were different.
Xu Xiangyang still frowned and looked at him with great confusion. "Director Xiao, I really don't understand what you're talking about."
Hehe, you want to play this?
That really won't work!
Xiao Zhenyu finally realized that no matter what, Xu Xiangyang just didn't understand.
Whether they genuinely don't understand or are pretending not to, no one knows.
The two remained silent for a long time before Xiao Zhenyu finally chuckled and asked, "Director Xu, have you finished eating?"
Xu Xiangyang nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, the food at this restaurant is quite good. I'll treat you again sometime."
He had a smile on his face, looking like he wanted more.
After a satisfying meal, Xu Xiangyang and Xiao Zhenyu went outside and took out their bicycles from the restaurant entrance.
He turned to look at Xiao Zhenyu and said with a smile, "Director Xiao, I won't see you off. This bicycle can't carry two people."
Xiao Zhenyu nodded, waved to him, and gestured for him to go first.
Xu Xiangyang didn't stand on ceremony and rode away on his bicycle without looking back.
After watching the man leave, Jiang Liang asked, "How did it go?"
He was standing at the door, so he didn't know how their conversation went.
Xiao Zhenyu shook his head, looked at the car next to him, and said, "Let's go back first."
After the two got into the car, he recounted what had just happened.
Jiang Liang said expressionlessly, "This Xu Xiangyang is difficult to deal with, but the information we received earlier should be accurate. Otherwise, why would he have been taken away by the Propaganda Department for investigation?"
Most people actually knew about this, but Xu Xiangyang was later released, and the rumors were dispelled.
If there really was a problem, how could they possibly have returned safely?
But Xiao Zhenyu didn't think so. He felt that Xu Xiangyang must have a problem.
Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Why do people talk about Xu Xiangyang and not others?
And it wasn't just once.
After returning home, Xiao Zhenyu made a phone call and recounted the whole story again…
Xu Xiangyang had no idea what happened after he left.
All he wants now is to go back and mess with Old Wei and his gang.
Regardless of what Xiao Zhenyu knows, as long as he eliminates Old Wei and his gang, the entire black market in Xincheng will be his own.
So, wouldn't it be better to sit behind the scenes and collect money?
He doesn't need to show his face in public, so even fewer people will know him.
In the middle of the night, Xu Xiangyang ran back and forth, working until 3 a.m., when the sky was beginning to lighten.
Only then did he leave and go home.
Regardless of the outcome, this is just the beginning.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Xiangyang was already fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Old Wei's side was in an uproar!
His secret stash of money has been taken away!
No, to be precise, his entire house was ransacked, but he himself didn't even notice.
Old Wei was dumbfounded; it was too bizarre for this to happen to him.
As people get older, they tend to sleep lightly, so how could they not hear a single sound?
His house had been moved away, but he didn't notice at all and slept until dawn!
