Ji Miaomiao asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, there's really nothing between me and the boss, why don't you believe me?"
Sun Zhansheng chuckled lightly, "I believe you. I have something to talk to him about, it's none of your business."
Hearing this, Ji Miaomiao was even more puzzled. Her grandfather and the boss had no interaction, so what was there to talk about?
There was one instance where they crossed paths: the proprietress won the Qi Baishi Cup, and Principal Zhou Shun prevented her from joining the provincial artists' association.
Thanks to Grandpa's help, the landlady was able to officially join the association.
Knowing her grandfather's temper, Ji Miaomiao took him to the fourth-floor office and knocked on the boss's door.
The boss and his uncle, Li Keyong, were sitting in the office.
When Ji Miaomiao saw Li Keyong, she was furious. She glared at him and turned her back on him.
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Auntie, aren't you off today?"
"Pah, who's your aunt? Don't talk nonsense." Ji Miaomiao got angry.
She and Li Keyong are dating, but they haven't reached the point of discussing marriage yet. They had a fight yesterday and are currently giving each other the cold shoulder.
Wang Peng shook hands with Sun Zhansheng, "You must be Grandpa Sun, Miaomiao's maternal grandfather. I am Wang Peng."
"Hello, Mr. Wang," Sun Zhansheng said. "I'm shopping at the supermarket with my granddaughter today, and I'd like to chat with you for a bit."
"Welcome." Wang Peng took out his business card. "My phone number is on this card. You can call me anytime."
Sun Zhansheng looked at Li Keyong and said, "Miaomiao, you go out first. I need to say a few words to Boss Wang."
Li Keyong stood up, walked to the door to wait for his girlfriend to come out, and gently closed the door.
"I was wrong yesterday, please don't be angry," Li Keyong said. "It's an old classmates' reunion, what's wrong with having a couple of drinks..."
"You didn't do anything wrong, I did." Ji Miaomiao turned and left.
Li Keyong felt a headache coming on and hurriedly followed behind her. Having a girlfriend who was eleven years younger than him could be quite troublesome at times.
The two went downstairs from upstairs, from the supermarket to the street, and walked along the road.
Ji Miaomiao walked in front, and Li Keyong followed behind.
Suddenly, Ji Miaomiao stopped and hugged Li Keyong's arm. "Drinking is bad for your health. You just won't listen to me."
“I’m listening, hehe.” Li Keyong scratched his head, “But sometimes I can’t do this job without drinking.”
The two continued walking hand in hand until they reached the banyan tree in People's Park.
Seeing that no one was around, Ji Miaomiao sat on her boyfriend's lap and asked, "My grandpa seems worried that something might happen to Peng Ge. Why?"
Li Ke was a little nervous and hurriedly said, "Get down, don't hug in public..."
Her mouth was covered, and Ji Miaomiao kissed his lips. A minute later, her face was full of arrogance.
Li Keyong had no choice but to let her continue sitting on his lap.
"Miaomiao, I'm actually worried about Xiaopeng too. Brother Supermarket has already taken away a lot of people's profits."
"You may not know this, but the Brothers Tobacco and Liquor Store was set on fire. The arsonist was the brother of the former owner of the store, and he is still in prison."
“I’m worried about those people at Huihuang Supermarket; they might very well use despicable means to deal with Xiaopeng.”
After finishing his speech in one breath, Li Keyong sighed.
...
The general manager's office is on the fourth floor of Brothers Supermarket.
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I have already arranged bodyguards for my family."
Sun Zhansheng said, "That's useless. It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but difficult to guard against a thief for a thousand days. There will always be a time when you can't guard against a thief."
Wang Peng spread his hands. "Then what should I do? I can't just go along with them, can I?"
The competitiveness of Brother Supermarket exceeded his expectations; it was like a raging flood, frantically devouring customers from the provincial capital.
The provincial capital is only so big, and the consumer base is limited. If more people come to our brother's store to shop, fewer people will go to other large shopping malls.
When their business is taken away, other business owners naturally hate Wang Peng. If they can't win by normal means, they'll resort to unconventional methods.
Sun Zhansheng said, "Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. They might not harm your life, but they will never let your supermarket go."
"Xiaopeng, your shop was burned down once. You had purchased accident insurance at the time. Did the insurance company compensate you for your losses?"
Wang Peng nodded. "I also bought a huge insurance policy for the supermarket. If the fire from last time had happened again, the insurance company would have compensated me."
Sun Zhansheng said, "Even if the insurance company pays out, you will still suffer many unavoidable losses."
Wang Peng chuckled lightly, "Old man, all I can do is increase security. I want to see what they can do to me."
Sun Zhansheng thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a better solution. He would just have to deal with whatever came his way.
"Xiaopeng, is Miaomiao dating your uncle?"
"I think so," Wang Peng said. "My uncle is fine except for being older than Miao Miao. What do you think?"
Sun Zhansheng nodded. His granddaughter's parents were both small business owners, while Li Keyong was the captain of the traffic police brigade.
Li Keyong is tall and good-looking, with a bright future ahead of him, and he is worthy of his granddaughter's trust.
Sun Zhansheng did not object to their interaction, and with this relationship, he felt even closer to Wang Peng.
The two chatted for a while until Li Keyong and Ji Miaomiao returned.
Wang Peng and his uncle saw the grandfather and grandson off before returning to their office.
"Uncle, are you and Miaomiao heading towards marriage?" Wang Peng asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Li Keyong quickly changed the subject. "I just received a call from Lao Feng. The higher-ups want to take down Zhou Shun."
"Hehe, that's good news." Wang Peng laughed. "Uncle, what do you need me to do?"
Li Keyong said, "Our people have spoken with Hu Qing three times, hoping she would hand over the original of the student contract, but she refuses."
Wang Peng scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Uncle, you don't actually think Hu Qing would give the contract to me, do you?"
The next morning at 10:00 AM, Xinglan Coffee Shop in the provincial capital, VIP room on the third floor.
Hu Qing smiled and said, "Little brother, this seems to be the first time you've asked me out on your own initiative, am I right?"
“Yes,” Wang Peng said. “I won’t beat around the bush. Han Jianguo and the other thirty are interns at Brilliant. I want the contract you and Zhou Shun signed.”
At this point, Wang Peng pointed upwards, "It's not that I want to touch him, but that someone higher up wants to touch him."
Hu Qing shook her head. "I'm not interested in any of this. I heard that Li Mengjiao brought your daughter back to China. Is he trying to use your daughter to steal you away?"
Wang Peng had a headache. "Big sister, let's talk about serious matters. Why are you bringing them up?"
"You're really boring." Hu Qing rolled her eyes at him, opened her purse, and took out a document.
When Wang Peng saw the materials, his eyes widened immediately. It was the internship contract signed between Huihuang Supermarket and Zhou Shun.
He carefully read the contract, then looked up at Hu Qing. "You're giving it to me like this? Are there no additional conditions?"
"Fine, then." Hu Qing reached out and snatched the contract.
Wang Peng hurriedly hid the contract behind his back and said with a smile, "You always said you wanted to get vaccinated by me, why are you suddenly not lending it to me?"
