Li Mingzhu still managed to spread the word about refusing the large order.
“Dad, the investment of 42,000 yuan only yielded a little over 3,000 yuan in profit. Everyone else paid out after three months, but I was the only one who did.”
Wang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you think this business is viable?"
“Sure, I can do it,” Li Kefan nodded. “If you don’t have the money, I can lend it to you.”
Duan Cuilu said, "Xiaopeng, you're not satisfied with earning three thousand in three months? My salary used to be only a little over three hundred yuan!"
Wang Peng couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that there was a generation gap between him and them.
"Xiao Peng, are you worried they'll renege on their debt?" Li Kefan asked.
"Although I will sign a contract, I am still a little worried," Wang Peng said.
In my previous life, the provincial university was heavily in debt, and creditors even came to the school and jumped off buildings.
“That is a problem,” Li Kefan frowned.
If you can't get the money back, it's a real worry, and it always makes you uncomfortable.
"Xiaopeng, if you think the money is unreliable, then forget it."
Duan Cuilu said, "If you think it's reliable, then ask your dad and me for the money."
"Dad, Mom, you're both so good to me," Wang Peng said, touched.
"Stop talking nonsense," Li Kefan laughed. "Mingzhu, don't leave today, stay here."
Li Mingzhu nodded hurriedly, as she had long wanted to stay at her parents' home for a few days.
In the evening, the family sat on the sofa watching TV.
There was a small restaurant near KFC, and Zhou Shun and Feng Dali asked for a private room.
"Old Feng, does Wang Zhenhua insist that I pay upon delivery?" Zhou Shun said.
Feng Dali frowned. "Old Zhou, tell me the truth, is the payment for the goods reliable?"
“It’s definitely reliable,” Zhou Shun said. “The school is short of money now, but it will have money in three months.”
Feng Dali stared at him. "Old Zhou, I want to hear the truth."
The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Feng Dali knew Zhou Shun's character and didn't believe him at all.
"Old Zhou, Wang Peng is your student. Do you think you can control him?"
Zhou Shun hurriedly shook his head, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.
"Wang Peng has done me a great favor. I am able to sit in my current position thanks to Wang Peng's great contribution."
Feng Dali said, "Old Zhou, I hope you won't betray him."
"Old Feng, how could I possibly cheat him?"
Zhou Shun hurriedly waved his hand, "Just for your sake, I won't cheat him."
A storm raged within him; he never imagined that Wang Peng held such a high place in Feng Dali's heart.
At this moment, Feng Dali was still staring at him.
He felt a chill run down his spine and could only continue to force a smile.
"Old Zhou, let's have a drink." Feng Dali raised his glass.
"I'll drink this, you can drink as you like." Zhou Shun raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
This was strong liquor, and it felt like his throat was on fire. He quickly drank some plain water.
Feng Dali only touched his lips to the wine before putting down his glass.
"Old Zhou, don't just drink, eat some food."
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, haha."
The atmosphere became much more harmonious afterward, and the two began to chat and laugh.
However, Zhou Shun's spirits gradually plummeted.
Although Feng Dali was still very polite, his attitude was completely different from before.
He used to be very easygoing, like an old friend, but now he's more like a superior and subordinate.
During the journey, Feng Dali went to the restroom.
After a satisfying meal, the two prepared to go home, and Zhou Shun hurriedly went to the rooftop to pay the bill.
"Old Zhou, I've already paid," Feng Dali said.
"Huh? When did you pay?" Zhou Shun's heart skipped a beat.
“It was when I went to the restroom just now,” Feng Dali said with a smile. “Come on, this time it’s on you.”
The two left the restaurant, parted ways at the hotel entrance, and each rode their motorcycles home.
Zhou Shun was distracted throughout the journey.
Feng Dali insisted on paying the bill, which meant he wanted to distance himself from the situation.
"This is not the result I wanted, damn it!" Zhou Shun cursed angrily.
In this major bidding process for tobacco and alcohol, Wang Peng was not the one with the lowest bid; there were five other companies that bid even lower.
They were all scammed by the cash-on-delivery pancake offer.
Zhou Shun let Wang Peng win the bid not because he loved Wang Peng, but because he wanted to frame Wang Peng.
First of all, Wang Peng is young and inexperienced, making him difficult to handle compared to seasoned veterans.
Secondly, Wang Peng is a student at the provincial university, so he could easily obtain a diploma.
Taking these two points into account, Zhou Shun decided to renege on his debt.
He just didn't expect that Wang Peng was actually friends with Feng Dali.
Zhou Shun's son works under Feng Dali, and he dares not offend Feng Dali.
Bang!
"oops!"
The motorcycle ran over a brick, causing the front wheel to slip and the rider and motorcycle to fly off.
Zhou Shun fell to the ground, his stomach churning with blood and qi, and he saw stars.
He tried to stand up, but his whole body ached.
"Help! Help me!"
It was pitch black all around, and there were no streetlights on the road. His heart sank to the bottom.
If a car were to pass by, it might run him over.
Zhou Shun became increasingly frightened as he thought about it.
"Help!"
"Help!"
He kept shouting until his throat became hoarse.
Suddenly, a light appeared in the distance.
"Help! Help!"
Zhou Shun shouted desperately, wanting someone to save him, but also afraid of being run over by the car.
This is a police van, driven by traffic police officer Li Keyong, with three colleagues inside.
They were on duty next to the train station.
The car headlights weren't very bright, but Li Keyong had excellent eyesight and spotted a person lying on the ground from a great distance.
He immediately turned on his high beams and sure enough, someone was lying on the ground.
