Wang Peng slowly opened his eyes and felt weak all over, as if all his energy had been drained.
"Xiao Peng, why are you drinking so much? Come on, have some tea."
A cup of hot tea was brought to her, and the person speaking was Xu Rong.
Wang Peng struggled to sit up in bed, took a small sip of the tea, found it was warm, and hurriedly drank it in large gulps.
I drank two bowls in one go, and my stomach finally felt a little better.
Looking inside the room, Li Longfei and his family of three were all there.
"Uncle Long, how long have I been drunk?" Wang Peng scratched his head.
“You’ve been drunk all night,” Li Longfei said with a wry smile. “Xiao Peng, it’s all Meng Jiao’s fault for being so unreasonable. Don’t blame him.”
“Li Mengjiao, you’re not leaving now, are you?” Wang Peng immediately stared at her.
They noticed that Li Mengjiao's face was radiant, her complexion was rosy, and there was a hint of charm between her brows.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Do you want to back out?" Wang Peng sneered.
"Xiaopeng, don't be angry. Your uncle and I have thought it through."
Xu Rong poured another bowl of tea and said, "It's the right thing for Mengjiao to go abroad to study. I'm planning to go there to accompany her."
"What?" Wang Peng was completely dumbfounded, staring straight at Xu Rong.
Xu Rong felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away, not daring to meet Wang Peng's gaze.
Li Longfei added, "I'm relieved that your aunt is also applying for a visa to go to the UK to accompany Mengjiao while she studies."
Wang Peng couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that this family was too abstract.
"Li Mengjiao, did I drink that bottle of Erguotou for nothing?" Wang Peng said, a little annoyed.
“It wasn’t a waste of time. Liquor is the essence of grain, and the more you drink, the younger you get.” Li Mengjiao’s smile suddenly turned lewd.
"Brother Peng, I've made up my mind. I'll run your company for free over there, and I won't take any of your shares."
Li Mengjiao hugged her mother's arm and laughed, "My mom will also invest some money to help us develop the company over there."
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng's mood instantly improved.
"You're smart enough to know what's good for you. I didn't drink that bottle of wine for nothing."
He sat up in bed, rubbing his aching temples. "Auntie, how much money are you planning to invest?"
"Let's invest 20,000 yuan first. If business is good, I'll increase my investment," Xu Rong said.
Wang Peng was stunned. The fact that the Li family could easily come up with 20,000 yuan meant that the Li family had become wealthy again.
"Xiaopeng, I opened a chicken farm this year, and with the stationery business, this year's profit is this much."
Li Longfei stretched out his hand and smiled slightly, "Our Li family is making a comeback."
"Congratulations!" Wang Peng quickly gave him a thumbs up. "Congratulations to Uncle Li on his resurgence. No wonder he dared to go abroad so easily."
"You're not lacking either. If you ever need money in the future, just let me know."
Li Longfei was in a great mood. "Xiao Peng, we're going to stay here for a while longer. What about you?"
"I'll go back to the provincial capital tomorrow; I don't want to delay the shop's business," Wang Peng said.
He glanced at his watch; it was already ten o'clock at night.
"Xiaopeng, my room is right next door, and Mengjiao's room is across from yours. Go to sleep early."
Li Longfei patted him on the shoulder and turned to go back to his room.
The Li family members all went back to their rooms, leaving only Wang Peng in the house.
He felt sticky all over, so he immediately took off all his clothes and went to the bathroom next door to take a shower.
A wave of drowsiness washed over me, so I lay down on the bed and continued sleeping until noon.
Then I was woken up by a knock on the door. "Xiao Peng, are you awake?"
"He's awake." Wang Peng hurriedly got dressed.
"Get ready, let's go out to eat," Xu Rong called from outside the door.
Wang Peng quickly got dressed, went to the bathroom to relieve himself, and changed into a new set of clothes from head to toe.
The four left the hotel and went into a mutton soup restaurant.
During the meal, Wang Peng felt that Li Mengjiao had changed and was clearly different from before.
She used to be a sunny and cheerful young woman, but now she seems to have a more mature charm.
"Brother Peng, do I look good today?" Li Mengjiao asked with a smile. "You always seem to be secretly looking at me?"
“I feel you’ve changed,” Wang Peng said, “but I can’t quite put my finger on what has changed.”
Li Longfei said, "Xiaopeng, maybe it's because your aunt and I stopped pressuring Mengjiao to stay that Mengjiao's mood has improved."
"Yes, that might be the case." Wang Peng nodded.
After eating and drinking my fill, my stomach felt much better.
The four returned to the hotel. Wang Peng packed his luggage, said goodbye to the Li family of three, and drove back to the provincial capital.
Two days later, I returned to the provincial capital and bought a few pounds of beef at the vegetable market on the way.
Upon opening the trunk, I found a stack of hundred-yuan bills inside, held together by a small clip.
"What's going on?" He immediately picked up the banknotes and found a note tucked on the back.
The note read, "Xiaopeng, this 1,000 yuan is for your hard work. Keep it and keep going."
"Goodness, Uncle Li is still so polite."
Wang Peng put the money in his pocket. A trip to Beijing wouldn't cost much, so he decided to pay him back sometime.
When I drove home, Li Mingzhu immediately gave me a big hug.
"Honey, I got an order from the steel mill for two thousand bottles of Red Years wine."
Wang Peng was taken aback, then immediately laughed, "Impressive, impressive, tell me about it."
Li Mingzhu pulled her boyfriend to sit on the sofa and poured him a glass of hot water.
“I met with the owner of the steel rolling mill and told him the truth.”
“I said, the wholesale price of a bottle of wine is five yuan, and the retail price is ten yuan. I’ll quote you eight yuan.”
"I didn't expect the steel mill owner to be so decisive; he immediately approved it."
At this point, Li Mingzhu pulled Wang Peng into the bedroom and opened the safe in the corner.
“Du Lei and I delivered the goods yesterday. This is the total payment. Please check it.”
Li Mingzhu placed two stacks of 100-yuan bills in her boyfriend's hand.
"Impressive, I really underestimated you." Wang Peng smiled slightly and began counting the banknotes.
I ordered twice, and it came to exactly 16,000, the price of two thousand bottles of liquor.
One case contains ten bottles, so two thousand bottles would be two hundred cases, requiring the winery to send trucks to deliver them.
“Mingzhu, I’m no worse than you.”
Wang Peng took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and said, "Li Longfei is too kind; he secretly put a thousand yuan in my trunk."
"Brother, did they manage to persuade Li Mengjiao?" Li Mingzhu asked in a low voice.
“No.” Wang Peng shook his head. “Meng Jiao has a very stubborn temper. Once she’s made up her mind about something, no one can persuade her otherwise.”
Li Mingzhu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's dangerous when a beautiful woman with a high level of education, good looks, and a great figure is eyeing your boyfriend.
"Brother, what's the deal with the payment for the goods from the distillery?"
Li Mingzhu said, "Hu Xingbang called Du Lei yesterday, urging us to pay the bill as soon as possible."
"I'll pay the bill tomorrow." Wang Peng locked the money in the safe.
"Brother, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you." Li Mingzhu was in a good mood. "Want some dumplings? Shall we make dumplings?"
“Okay, let’s go make dumplings.” Wang Peng nodded immediately.
The two went to the kitchen and chatted while making dumplings.
Just then, Wang Peng heard someone knocking on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Li Kefan and Duan Cuilu. "Mingzhu, your parents are here."
Li Kefan laughed and said, "Xiao Peng, we've lost our jobs and come to you for help."
