Jiang Xiaoyan's heart was in turmoil. Looking at Lu Feng across from her, she felt as if the past two days had been a dream, the two days in which she had smiled the most since her marriage.
Why don't we just give it to him?
We've been married for four years; people will laugh at us if they tell others.
"Hmm, she's asleep." Jiang Xiaoyan slowly lifted the blanket, preparing to climb into Lu Feng's bed.
"You should go to sleep early too, you have to get up early for work tomorrow." Lu Feng said, turning over to sleep.
Jiang Xiaoyan froze in mid-air, then lay back down, feeling a little wronged, secretly wondering if she was no longer as pretty as she used to be.
Or has he seen the world's temptations in the past two years and no longer finds himself attractive?
The next morning, Station Chief Wang was notified to attend a meeting. The Grain Bureau was undergoing reforms, and Station Chief Wang would still manage the grain station, only with a slight promotion. This made him extremely happy, and he attributed everything to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng woke up at nine o'clock in the morning. There was a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun on the table. He sat down to eat, sighed, and muttered, "A semi-automatic packaging line, a glass bottle manufacturing plant, where am I going to scam them?"
Faced with this predicament, even the most skilled swindler would be helpless. Lu Feng didn't even have the capital to package himself; all he had was a wedding suit and a tattered bag. The rest was all about acting skills.
There was a knock at the door. Lu Feng asked weakly, "Who is it?"
"Brother Feng, you're awake? It's me, Jianguo. Please open the door."
Outside the door, there were not only Zhou Jianguo, but also Sun Longbin, Biaozi, Datou, and a few others. They had been squatting at the door since seven in the morning, and they bumped into Jiang Xiaoyan and even had a fight.
Lu Feng opened the door, and Zhou Jianguo's face was full of smiles, all fawning smiles. He was bowing his back like a eunuch and said, "Good morning, Brother Feng. I'm here to apologize to you. I drank too much yesterday, please don't take offense."
“Yes, yes, Brother Feng, don’t take it to heart. You’ll always be my best brother, just like a real brother,” Sun Longbin quickly added.
Everyone started talking at once, as if they had become different people. They addressed each other with extreme respect, making Lu Feng a little confused. He asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong with you all?"
Da Tou said straightforwardly, "Brother Feng, I told them about our trip to the grain bureau yesterday, and they dragged me here this morning."
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, frantically thinking about the connection. After a full seven or eight seconds, he figured it out, laughed, and said, "Brother Zhou, you actually believe what Da Tou says? It's not true, don't listen to his nonsense."
If Lu Feng were to openly admit it, Zhou Jianguo would really have to consider whether it was true or not. The reason he kept denying it was because he was afraid of taking advantage of Lu Feng.
"Whether it's true or not, you're still my brother. I made a mistake yesterday, so I apologize to you."
Da Tou said from the side, "Brother Feng, your wife had a fight with us this morning and told us to stay away from you."
Lu Feng sighed, sat down on the stool, and said, "Brothers, my wife does have some issues with you guys. We've argued about it several times. It's best if you don't come to my house and we keep our distance."
"It was my fault, brother. I, Zhou Jianguo, was blind to your greatness. I just quietly took the scolding this morning without making a fuss. Brother Feng, I've decided to be your brother. If there's any problem, I'll take care of it for you." Zhou Jianguo patted his chest loudly.
Lu Feng knew that Zhou Jianguo was a wealthy man with tens of thousands of yuan in assets, so he must have a lot of connections. After pondering for a while, he said, "There is indeed something going on recently. I've been indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun every day, which has upset my father. I need to make a move to show him what I'm up to. I'm planning to set up a cannery, but we're short of a semi-automatic packaging machine."
Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin exchanged a glance, their minds racing with thoughts of such a machine. Suddenly, Zhou Jianguo slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I know an old one!"
Lu Feng became excited, but quickly told himself to stay calm. He was now the son of a big shot, and nodded, saying, "I'll change my clothes and go take a look."
Lu Feng changed his clothes and went out. He ran into Li Dafang as soon as he stepped out. They exchanged a glance but neither of them spoke. Li Dafang looked at Lu Feng's back and sneered, "Always hanging out with these idle hooligans. Just wait, you'll get what's coming to you."
Today, instead of riding in Da Tou's car, everyone rode motorcycles. When they arrived at a large courtyard in the suburbs, Zhou Jianguo entered the courtyard and called out, "Is Uncle Liu here?"
A man in his forties came out of the house, glanced at the group of people, and walked up to Zhou Jianguo to exchange pleasantries.
Sun Longbin glanced at Lu Feng discreetly. Zhou Jianguo had been the one to steal the show all morning, and he hadn't even gotten a chance to say a word. He quietly leaned closer and said, "Brother Feng, do you need fruit if you run a cannery?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you that day?"
"Don't worry, I'll go back and talk to my dad. He'll tell him to save all the fruit in the village for you. Whenever you need it, all the fruit in the village is yours," Sun Longbin said ingratiatingly.
Lu Feng nodded without saying anything.
Zhou Jianguo walked over and introduced, "This is my brother. He's interested in your semi-automatic packaging machine."
Uncle Liu exchanged a few polite words and said, "Let's go take a look at the machine; it's been sitting there for several years."
The group arrived at a spacious storage room where a semi-automatic packaging machine, more than four meters long, was covered in dust, but it was still quite good.
This packaging machine automatically fills and seals bottles, and can fill more than 200 cans per hour, so the speed is not a problem.
The group cleaned the machine, tested it, and found no problems. Uncle Liu clapped his hands and said, "Brother, how about it? If you really want it, five thousand yuan. It's no use for me anyway."
