"Be careful when you go out in the future, especially with those local thugs. It's best to avoid them if possible." Sheng Xiping waved his hand, no longer pursuing the matter.
After all that commotion, no one was in the mood for jokes anymore. Since it was getting late, they decided to pack up and go to bed.
The next day, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, just after breakfast, another batch of goods arrived. Sheng Xiping hurriedly led people to unload the goods and put them into the warehouse, and then took inventory of the stock.
By the time they finished their work, it was almost noon. Before they could even eat, Wu Yucheng and Wu Yuqing arrived.
"Hey, what brings you two brothers here together? Brother Yuqing, didn't you go back to the capital with your uncle?" Sheng Xiping was quite surprised to see Wu Yuqing.
"Oh, we didn't go back to the capital. My dad is still worried about those special steel materials, afraid that something might go wrong."
"I just happened to be here to see my old comrades and check on the border trade situation," Wu Yuqing explained with a smile.
"My uncle has come to Heihe too? Oh my goodness, where are they staying now?"
"Dongcheng, hurry up and arrange a few rooms at the hotel." Upon hearing that Wu Bingzhong had also arrived in Heihe, Sheng Xiping immediately ordered someone to book rooms at the Longjiang Hotel.
"No need, Xiping, don't bother. My mom flew back to the capital from Harbin a couple of days ago. My dad and I will stay in the border military camp. My second son will stay with you."
Wu Yuqing quickly stopped Sheng Xiping from making room reservations.
"Here's the thing, my dad came here because the city leaders wanted to treat us to dinner. He said he wanted my brother and me to come and invite you so we could all get together."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping immediately understood that Wu Bingzhong was setting up a stage for him.
Although Sheng Xiping had met with city leaders before and got along quite well, he was still lacking in experience.
In just over a month since the border trade began, the trading company has earned tens of millions of yuan. There are countless eyes watching behind the scenes.
Don't be fooled by how well people spoke when Sheng Xiping gave New Year's gifts; when it comes to matters of interest, no one can guarantee that others won't have ulterior motives.
Wu Bingzhong's personal visit, accompanied by Sheng Xiping, to meet these leaders signifies a different kind of significance.
With Wu Bingzhong and the border guards as their backers, Tengyue Trading Company was able to establish a firm foothold in Heihe.
Even the group from the capital, who want to deal with Tengyue Company, will have to think twice this time.
"Oh, that's great! Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change my clothes."
In the morning, Sheng Xiping was unloading goods and taking inventory. He was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and tattered trousers.
Now that I'm going to meet the city leaders, I definitely need to change my clothes; I can't let Wu Bingzhong down.
