Upon seeing the boss who had invested in him, Duan Jian immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss Li, aren't the crayfish you had someone buy a bit too poor in quality?"
When Li Shitong saw Duan Jian come up and say such a thing, he couldn't help but feel a little strange and looked at the person in charge of procurement.
Wang Cheng, who was in charge of purchasing, stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, it's really not my fault. I went to many seafood markets and bought the best ones."
Duan Jian said, "How could that be? I used to work at Donghai Shrimp King. Their shrimp were delivered every day and were always very fresh. Moreover, the shrimp were all very large. According to Feng Haidong's requirements, a lot of them had to be sifted out every day."
At this point, Duan Jian looked at Wang Cheng and said, "These shrimp you bought will all be screened out by the East China Sea Shrimp King."
Wang Cheng looked helpless and said, "Chef Duan, are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"
Duan Jian looked at Wang Cheng with a strange expression.
Seeing his strange expression, Wang Cheng simply stopped talking to him and turned to look at his brother-in-law, Li Shitong.
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, I asked a friend, and the crayfish in Feng Haidong's shop are all collected by him from the countryside. You could say that the best crayfish caught by farmers in the countryside are all collected by Feng Haidong."
Wang Cheng then looked at Duan Jian and said, "The shrimp that can come to our market are all the ones that Feng Haidong has left over, so it's already pretty good that we were able to buy these."
Duan Jian was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to suddenly realize why Feng Haidong didn't stop him from leaving.
Moreover, Duan Jian suddenly understood why Feng Haidong wasn't afraid of his skills being leaked.
Because they have better sources of crayfish, the local crayfish supply is almost entirely controlled by them.
At this moment, Duan Jian realized that he might have underestimated Feng Haidong.
After hearing his brother-in-law's words, Li Shitong was not discouraged. He reached out and patted Duan Jian, saying, "Duan Jian, it's okay. Today is the opening day. Try using these shrimp first. If it really doesn't work, how about this: take the money and go to Feng Haidong's shop to buy a batch from him."
Duan Jian looked at Li Shitong in surprise: "What the heck?"
Wang Cheng, who was standing nearby, said, "If you don't go, who will? Do you want my brother-in-law to go? Do you think the reason we invited you here and gave you 30% of the shares is because you can speak to Feng Haidong?"
Li Shitong said, "Duan Jian, you and Feng Haidong were once partners, so I think it would be more appropriate for you to go. Maybe Feng Haidong will give you some crayfish out of consideration for our past relationship."
Wang Cheng added, "I've heard that Feng Haidong will share some of the crayfish with other people."
Duan Jian replied, "I know. Every day, some of the shrimp delivered to the store are sent to a food stall."
Li Shitong said, "Duan Jian, isn't this just spending money? Go ask Feng Haidong how much it costs. We'll buy a batch of crayfish from him for our opening today. After that, I'll have Wang Cheng take some people to the countryside to collect them. Feng Haidong can collect crayfish directly from the countryside, so we can do that too."
Wang Cheng immediately said, "That's right, brother-in-law. I said before that we would also go to the countryside to buy crayfish. When we cut off Feng Haidong's supply, do you think we can't beat him?"
Li Shitong said, "It definitely wouldn't have worked before because we didn't have Feng Haidong's skills. Now that we have Duan Jian, we can do it the way you did before."
Wang Cheng said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Give me a week, and I guarantee I'll secure the supply."
Upon hearing this, Duan Jian couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, shouldn't we avoid going too far? Let's just each collect our own crayfish from Feng Haidong. Why do we have to cut off his supply?"
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
Wang Cheng said, "Duan Jian, you're still taking Feng Haidong's side?"
Li Shitong said with a smile, "Duan Jian, you don't need to worry about these things. I will have Wang Cheng handle it. You don't need to worry about falling out with Feng Haidong and not being able to see him in the future."
Wang Cheng said, "Duan Jian, you've already left them. Do you think they'll still consider you a friend after you leave like this?"
Li Shitong said, "Alright, Wang Cheng, we can't let Duan Jian feel too bad about this. You can take care of it."
Wang Cheng replied, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
Seeing that Li Shitong and Wang Cheng had already made their decision, Duan Jian ultimately didn't say anything more.
After that, Li Shitong simply went to Feng Haidong's restaurant with Duan Jian.
Duan Jian rode in Li Shitong's car and arrived at Feng Haidong's restaurant. Before even entering, he hesitated, feeling that he shouldn't have come.
But having already arrived at the door, Duan Jian, remembering that the business was opening that night, had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.
As soon as Duan Jian entered the room, he heard a sarcastic voice.
"Hey, who's this? Isn't this our Duan Jian, Boss Duan? What brings you back here?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Jian looked at Song Rui, who had spoken, and his expression instantly turned very bad.
Li Shitong stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Is your boss, Mr. Feng, here?"
Upon hearing Song Rui's voice, Feng Haidong walked in from the backyard.
When he saw Li Shitong and Duan Jian arrive together, he didn't pay much attention to Duan Jian, but instead carefully examined Li Shitong.
When Li Shitong met Feng Haidong, he smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Feng. I'm really sorry to have poached your capable assistant."
