At 8 p.m., Wang Peng and Li Mingzhu were watching TV in the living room. The program was the traditional mythological story Journey to the West.
It's the Journey to the West that Wang Peng has watched countless times, and he can still watch it.
The son, Wang Jiye, seemed interested in it as well, staring at the TV with his round, beady eyes, seemingly watching something, and occasionally making snoring noises.
A few minutes later, the episode ended, and the TV station aired commercials.
"Wah—" Wang Jiye let out a loud cry, which seemed to be heard throughout the entire neighborhood.
Li Mingzhu quickly hugged her son, lifted her clothes to feed him, and finally managed to get his mouth full.
Just then, Wang Peng's phone rang, and he answered it and put it to his ear.
"Brother Peng, the Brilliant District still hasn't approved our entry into the Brilliant District. They said they need to hold a meeting to discuss it, but I don't know how long that will take."
Du Lei sighed deeply, his tone filled with helplessness.
"Hehe." Wang Peng crossed his legs and muttered about the influence of Huihuang Supermarket in Huihuang District.
As long as his brother can get in, he is confident that he can kill the Brilliant No. 5 Store led by Wang Cheng.
Once Store No. 5 is defeated, it will be like cutting off one of Wang Cheng's arms, and Brilliant Supermarket will face a slow death.
We have the funds, the policies, and we've even sharpened our weapons, but we can't actually fight No. 5 Store with real weapons.
"Brother Lei, think of another way," Wang Peng said. "If all else fails, we can organize everyone to brainstorm and we'll eventually find a solution."
Du Lei smiled wryly, "I've already brainstormed ideas, but they're all useless. Brother Peng, I think only you can handle this."
Wang Peng scratched his head and said, "Let's both think of a way. A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee."
The two brothers chatted for a few more minutes, then Wang Peng hung up the phone, placed it on the coffee table, and began massaging his temples.
I'm tired, mentally exhausted, and a bit irritable.
I just received a court summons yesterday. Li Guifen has filed a lawsuit against him, demanding that he pay alimony.
Before he could even deal with it, another problem arose at the company.
He couldn't say that something had happened. He originally had the ability to kill his enemy, but the enemy was hiding in the safe zone, and he couldn't get into the safe zone.
Offline brick-and-mortar supermarkets are heavily reliant on location.
Even if you treat your customers like gods, those gods won't drive all the way from the Brilliant District to the College District just to buy a few pounds of vegetables.
"Honey, is something bothering you?" Li Mingzhu asked with concern.
"Our branch's entry into the Brilliant District is being blocked again." Wang Peng pinched his neck, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"This matter?" Li Mingzhu said with a smile, "If it really doesn't work, we can just wait. They can hold us off for a year, but they can't hold us off for three years, can they?"
Wang Peng shook his head. "Time is not the key issue. The key issue is that if it is delayed any longer, it will affect my integrity."
You should know that Mr. Du, who sells cars, and Mr. Xu, who owns a winery, are both prepared to spend a million yuan to help him open a branch in the Huihuang District.
As a result, they couldn't even get in. Wasn't that just contradicting themselves?
Just then, the phone rang again; it was Xu Mengxing from Qinghe Winery calling.
From the few words exchanged on the phone, Li Mingzhu learned that Xu Mengxing and Xu Huilin were outside the door, so she took her son back to the bedroom.
Wang Peng opened the door and saw them waiting outside. He quickly greeted them with a smile, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, what brings you here?"
"Don't call me uncle, from now on we'll be equals." Xu Mengxing laughed and carried the gifts into the room.
"Xiaopeng, we're about the same age, you can just call me Big Sister from now on." Xu Huilin was also carrying gifts, beaming with joy.
Wang Peng helped carry the gifts, boiled a pot of water, and served them his treasured tea.
"Xiaopeng, these are my treasured Norton wines." Xu Mengxing opened the gift box and took out two bottles of red wine.
Norlton is an international brand, and these two bottles are from the high-end Ink Style series, with a market price of two thousand yuan per bottle.
"Xiaopeng, is Mingzhu home? I'd like to go and chat with her for a bit." Xu Huilin also took out a set of expensive cosmetics.
This set of cosmetics includes foundation, facial cleanser, beauty cream, etc., and its market price exceeds two thousand yuan.
"Brother and sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite," Wang Peng said, feeling that they were making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Who's being polite with you? This is a gift for Mingzhu." Xu Huilin turned to look at the bedroom door. "Is Mingzhu home?"
Wang Peng pointed to the master bedroom and said, "She's breastfeeding the baby. Would you like to go and chat with her for a bit?"
"Okay." Xu Huilin got up with the gift in hand. Seeing that the bedroom door was open a crack, she hurriedly went over with a smile to strike up a conversation.
Li Mingzhu opened the door and invited her in, then closed the door again. The two whispered to each other in the bedroom.
In the living room, Xu Mengxing stopped pretending and held Wang Peng's hand tightly.
"Brother Peng, I really want to thank you. In the entire provincial capital, only you can tame my good-for-nothing son."
"You have no idea, I spoiled that child since he was little. He's fearless and used to drive me crazy."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, thanks to you, I was able to witness the true story of Jackie Chan's reformation."
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated. "Brother Xu, that's an exaggeration. I don't think Jackie Chan is inherently bad."
“Yes!” Xu Mengxing slapped her thigh. “That kid isn’t bad, he’s just too rebellious.”
He took out a cigarette to light one, but then remembered the baby and put the cigarette back in his pocket.
The two began chatting happily, with Xu Mengxing beaming with joy as she kept revealing the awful things she had done in the past.
For example, getting into fights with teachers at school, dating female classmates, or being confronted by female classmates' parents.
Wang Peng listened carefully to him and gradually figured out Xu Chenglong's temperament.
That's like a donkey that only listens to praise, not criticism. If you dare to criticize it, it will get angry with you.
Zhao Tiezhu criticized him for work-related matters, and as a result, Xu Chenglong beat him up.
Now, Xu Chenglong has been defeated by Wang Peng, proving that one thing can subdue another.
Half an hour later, Wang Peng got down to business, "Brother Xu, let's not stand on ceremony, just tell me what you need."
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Xu Mengxing said. “You help me train Jackie Chan to be a qualified successor to Qinghe Winery.”
Wang Peng was a little confused, and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I don't have time to be his teacher."
“You’ve misunderstood. I’m not asking you to be his teacher,” Xu Mengxing said. “Just let A-Long continue working at Brothers Supermarket, and you can guide him in your spare time. As long as he works hard and becomes the deputy general manager of Brothers Supermarket, he will be qualified to inherit my winery.”
Wang Peng shook his head and politely declined: "Brother, your expectations of me are too high. I really don't have the time or energy to train a successor for you."
“Brother, you’ll agree to me. You’ll have the time and energy.” Xu Mengxing smiled slightly and immediately changed the subject.
The two chatted for more than an hour until he said goodbye and left. Wang Peng still couldn't understand where the old man's confidence came from.
