"Brother Chuan, you're finally here! I'm so bored at work when you're not here." Biancheng jumped up excitedly when he saw Brother Chuan.
Master Lu sat there smiling, and the loading and unloading team also came over.
These people were the ones who attended Li Baichuan's wedding back then, and they still have vivid memories of that wedding.
Those who couldn't go were very envious. When they came back, they heard that the event was held at the Friendship Hotel and that they met many important people.
They ate all sorts of rare and exotic foods, and even received wedding cigarettes and candy. They regretted not getting along better with Brother Chuan back then.
Especially Yu Qingfeng, who was standing over there, had a very difficult time in the transport team.
All the efforts made recently seem to have been in vain. No one dared to offend Biancheng, and no one dared to talk to him much.
No matter how humbly he tried to please them, these people were unwilling to speak to him except for necessary exchanges.
He also knew that Biancheng was not an important figure; Li Baichuan was more important.
Once he gets along well with everyone, all these problems will be solved. What will the border town matter then? His good days are yet to come.
But he had no chance to find him. He only found out after returning to work after the New Year that Li Baichuan had taken leave and was getting married.
They even asked the transport team for help, calling on Master Lu, Biancheng, and a few loading and unloading crew members, but not him.
He inquired everywhere, but couldn't find a clue. He could only watch as Biancheng returned and boasted about how wonderful his brother Chuan's wedding was.
He'd had enough of those people bowing and scraping to the border town, that smug, self-satisfied look of a tyrant who thought he was in charge when no one else was around.
Now that Li Baichuan has finally arrived, he remains as aloof as ever, even when everyone congratulates him on his marriage, he remains indifferent.
He only smiled when he saw Biancheng; otherwise, he didn't take anyone else seriously.
"Brother Chuan, congratulations!" When it was Yu Qingfeng's turn to receive the candy, he smiled and looked at Li Baichuan.
"Thank you." Li Baichuan looked up and nodded in thanks, just like he would to everyone else.
"Brother Chuan, we didn't know about your wedding, otherwise we would definitely have gone to help. It was Comrade Bian who told us when he came back. If he had told us earlier, we would definitely have gone to offer our respects."
Yu Qingfeng glanced at Li Baichuan and rolled his eyes, seemingly speaking politely, but his words were actually meant to sow discord.
He thought that Biancheng was keeping it from them, wanting Li Baichuan to see through his character.
Little did he know that Li Baichuan had only called Biancheng and Master Lu, and the other loaders were only called on because they were transporting the betrothal gifts.
Yu Qingfeng thought that since Li Baichuan had already shouted, Biancheng had tripped him up, and he didn't want anyone else to show off in front of Li Baichuan.
"Why should you know I'm getting married?" Yu Qingfeng tried to sow discord between Li Baichuan and Yu Qingfeng, but Li Baichuan didn't catch his veiled words at all.
He could sense what Yu Qingfeng was plotting. He had never had a good impression of him from the beginning, and that impression would not change now.
"..." Yu Qingfeng was stunned. He saw Li Baichuan's impatient look and wondered what he had said wrong.
"Brother Chuan, he assumed you would definitely invite him to your wedding. I was the one who played a trick and didn't tell him."
This wasn't the first time. Even in the past, Biancheng wouldn't have noticed, but he overheard Yu Qingfeng talking about it with someone else last time.
When he spoke again, he immediately realized that he was talking badly about him.
Hmph, no matter who Chuan calls him, he won't call him. From the moment he arrived, Chuan told him to stay far away from him.
"Comrade Yu, we're not acquainted." Li Baichuan's words were a slap in the face; he had never even considered inviting anyone to his wedding banquet.
"Oh, oh, I misunderstood Comrade Bian. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking that we're all colleagues."
Yu Qingfeng forced a smile, paused for a moment, and then, not wanting to give up so easily, said, "Brother Chuan, you're married. How about we go to a state-run restaurant for a meal after get off work to celebrate your marriage?"
He thought that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and if given a chance, he would definitely become good brothers with him.
"Comrade Yu, are you hard of hearing at such a young age? I'll say it again, we're not familiar with each other, and don't call me Brother Chuan."
“I don’t have that many younger brothers. I’ve received everyone’s blessings. Go do what you need to do. You can take these wedding candies and share them. There’s no need for anything else.”
Li Baichuan's tone remained indifferent; he was impatient to talk to this person, whose every word was full of twists and turns, waiting for him to decipher them.
Who knows what he's up to now? Li Baichuan dislikes people like that and doesn't want to deal with him.
Upon hearing Li Baichuan's words, Yu Qingfeng's breath hitched, and seeing the way everyone was looking at him, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
He just couldn't understand what was so good about that border town, and why Li Baichuan preferred to spend time with him but didn't give him a kind look.
There must have been something said behind Biancheng's back, otherwise Li Baichuan wouldn't be acting like this, since they have no grudge against each other.
"Brother Chuan, did you see that? Yu Qingfeng's face turned green just now, but he's still pretending nothing happened. Does he really think we're all idiots?"
Biancheng felt really relieved. Someone like him still wanted to get close to his brother Chuan. His brother Chuan had seen through him a long time ago.
He even wanted to complain to Brother Chuan, but Brother Chuan is very clever.
"Never mind him. How's it going with the person I asked you to find in Shanghai last time?" Li Baichuan hadn't been able to let go of the grievances his wife had suffered last time.
“Found him. I have a good friend whose aunt married someone in Shanghai. His uncle is the workshop director of a machinery factory, and that person is under his jurisdiction.”
When Biancheng heard his brother Chuan mention this, he quickly sat up straight. He knew that his sister-in-law had been bullied in Shanghai last time.
Brother Chuan inquired with them and found out that getting people in Beijing wouldn't be a problem, since Shanghai wasn't their territory after all.
His brother Chuan said he couldn't use his father's connections, so he knew his brother Chuan wanted to mess with people behind the scenes. Otherwise, he had plenty of connections on his own and wouldn't need him at all.
"Find a reason to downgrade his seniority." Li Baichuan thought for a moment, but still didn't say he'd be fired.
He knew that his wife's brother-in-law's family depended on him. If he lost his job, they would have no source of income and would only go so far as to cause trouble for his father-in-law's family.
Furthermore, he doesn't know what his father-in-law is thinking. If he does something, his father-in-law can definitely find out if he wants to.
Consider it a test. If they block him, he'll definitely have to be wary of them in the future. If someone treats his wife badly, he won't be devoted to that person either.
If he simply ignores it or helps him out, that's a different story.
"Okay, I'll tell my buddy later." Biancheng didn't mention that he had already asked his buddy to find a few people to give that family's precious son a good beating.
