Chapter 155 Getting something for nothing



Wang Peng drove to the police station but couldn't find Feng Dali.

When I got home, I checked my savings account and found only four thousand yuan. Adding the cash I had on hand, the total was less than seven thousand yuan.

Li Mingzhu came out of the bedroom. "Brother, is something on your mind?"

"It's nothing, just business," Wang Peng said.

"Are you short of funds? You can use my passbook." Li Mingzhu turned around and went back into the house, taking out her passbook.

There was 769 yuan in her savings account, all of which was money she had saved up.

"Is that enough?" Li Mingzhu scratched her head and said, "If it's still not enough, let's go borrow money from my dad."

"It's not about the money; keep it as your personal savings." Wang Peng handed her the passbook again.

Having seven hundred yuan isn't much, but not having seven hundred yuan isn't a small amount either.

“The password is six sixes. I’m giving you all my savings. You’ll support me from now on,” Li Mingzhu said firmly.

Wang Peng smiled, leaned down and kissed her, "I'm going out on business, I might not be back for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs to find Feng Dayi at Xinglan Hotel.

There was no time to mortgage the car or borrow money, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride and ask him to pay part of the payment for the goods.

Just as they stepped out of the residential compound, someone stopped their car at the gate; it turned out to be Li Longfei and Xu Rong.

He quickly stopped the car and rolled down the window. "Uncle Long, Aunt Rong, what brings you here?"

Li Longfei opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, while Xu Rong sat in the back.

"Mengjiao's student visa has been approved. We're going to Beijing to see her off abroad. Sigh!"

Li Longfei sighed deeply and said, "We can't persuade her, we really can't persuade her. Her mother and I are almost driven crazy with worry."

"Xiaopeng, take us to Beijing, let's try to persuade her."

Xu Rong's tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and flowed out instantly.

How could parents not be heartbroken if their only child was determined to study abroad and they would be separated from each other forever?

By this point, Wang Peng understood their purpose.

"Uncle, Aunt, I can take you to the capital again, but I can't guarantee I can convince Mengjiao."

Xu Rong quickly said, "Xiao Peng, it's good that you can go. Auntie doesn't need you to make any promises."

"Xiaopeng, thank you." Overwhelmed with emotion, Li Longfei choked up as well.

The elderly couple had a lot more gray hair and looked haggard.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'll take you home first. I need to take care of some business matters."

Wang Peng said, "Mingzhu is at home, you can talk to her about this first."

Wang Peng went to Beijing to persuade Li Mengjiao to stay in China, but he hesitated to bring it up, worried that his girlfriend might misunderstand.

Li Longfei turned around and said, "Old Xu, you chat with Mingzhu first, I'll go help Xiaopeng."

Li Mingzhu is a girl, and Wang Peng isn't there, so he doesn't want to stay there.

Wang Peng turned around and went back to the residential area. He took Xu Rong upstairs, said goodbye to his girlfriend, and hurriedly left home.

They planned to return to the tobacco and liquor store first and have Du Lei receive Li Longfei, since Li Longfei couldn't help with business matters anyway.

Upon arriving at the tobacco and liquor store, his eyes immediately widened.

He saw a small truck, its cargo bed filled with tin boxes of Qinghe liquor, completely loaded, parked right outside the shop.

"What do you mean?" Wang Peng opened the door and got out of the car.

At this moment, the truck's cab opened, and Hu Xingbang hurriedly got out.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I've brought you the wine."

He took two steps at a time and walked up to Wang Peng, then firmly grasped Wang Peng's hand.

"Brother, the boss specifically called and told me that I can give you the wine on credit first, haha."

Hearing this, Wang Peng smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you."

I never expected Chen Yinghao to have such influence that he could actually get the owner of Qinghe Winery to compromise.

It's worth noting that Qinghe Winery is also one of the leading enterprises in the provincial capital.

"Brother Wang Peng, whose connections did you use?" Hu Xingbang wanted to confirm.

“My cousin’s father-in-law is Chen Yonghao, the director of the steel rolling mill,” Wang Peng said.

“No wonder, no wonder.” Hu Xingbang nodded. “The steel mill owner and my boss are comrades-in-arms.”

After chatting for a few more minutes, Wang Peng handed Li Longfei over to Du Lei and then followed Hu Xingbang to the Xinglan Hotel.

Hu Xingbang knew the way well and quickly arrived outside the Xinglan Hotel.

This is a restaurant that integrates catering and accommodation, and also offers table service. It is also the largest restaurant in the provincial capital.

When there is a wedding or funeral in the family, guests will be entertained here.

In the general manager's office, Wang Peng met with the boss, Feng Dayi.

This guy has a big head, a thick neck, wears a leather jacket, and smokes a cigar.

"Xiao Peng, you're quite capable."

Feng Dayi laughed and said, "If you can't solve the problem of this truckload of wine, you will lose the opportunity to cooperate with Xinglan forever."

"Xiaopeng, I'm doing this out of respect for my older brother, and I also want to thank you for giving me face," he added.

"Second Uncle, thank you too." Wang Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Li Longfei appeared in time, disrupting his plan to come directly here to ask for advance payment; otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble.

Feng Dayi put the cigar in the ashtray, got up, opened the safe, and took out two stacks of hundred-yuan bills.

The stack of bills contained ten thousand, and he handed Wang Peng twelve thousand yuan as payment for the goods.

"Tomorrow morning, a guest has booked a wedding banquet for 100 tables, and the wine is for them."

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Wang Peng was very happy and immediately went downstairs to direct the workers to unload the drinks.

In just one afternoon, he made a profit of three thousand yuan without any investment.

In Qinghua School, Beijing, Li Mengjiao received a phone call from her father in her dormitory building.

The father and daughter chatted for ten minutes, then Li Mengjiao hurriedly left the school gate and took a taxi to a nearby hospital.

I booked an appointment with an obstetrics and gynecology specialist, waited in line for an hour, and finally met an elderly woman with white hair.

"Young lady, tell me about your situation," the old doctor said.

"My period started on the 15th of last month. Doctor, could you tell me from what date to what date this month is my fertile window?"

Li Mengjiao took out a pen and notebook from her bag and said, "I want to try to get pregnant."

The old doctor was taken aback, squinted and did some calculations, "Starting from today, the next eight days are the ovulation period."

"Thank you, doctor." Li Mengjiao picked up her pen to take notes.

After taking notes, she asked, "Doctor, will a man experience any physiological reactions when he is completely intoxicated?"

"Young lady, what do you want to do?" the old doctor asked, staring intently at her.

"I have a female friend, and I'm asking on her behalf," Li Mengjiao quickly replied with a smile.

She has a pure and innocent face, like a lotus bud about to bloom.

The old doctor stopped thinking about it, smiled and nodded, and didn't say another word.

"Thank you, Grandma." Li Mengjiao got up to say goodbye and left the hospital in a hurry.

There was a public phone booth by the roadside. She inserted the phone card and dialed Wang Peng's tobacco and liquor store.

Du Lei answered the phone and then handed it to Li Longfei.

"Dad, tell me the truth, are you trying to get Wang Peng to come and persuade me to stay?" Li Mengjiao asked.

"Yes," Li Longfei readily admitted, knowing he couldn't hide it from his daughter.

"Then don't come. I don't like seeing Li Mingzhu. This is a public phone, so don't call me."

After Li Mengjiao finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
