“Honey, let’s cooperate with Wang Cheng. I’ve thought about it carefully, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages,” Li Mingzhu said.
Wang Peng sat up in bed, adopting an attitude of being all ears.
Li Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Isn't our ultimate goal to acquire Huihuang and become the largest supermarket in the provincial capital?"
"Yes, that's right." Wang Peng nodded.
Li Mingzhu said, "Wang Cheng is very capable. During the time he was the president of Huihuang, we didn't gain much advantage."
Wang Peng shook his head: "The Brilliant flagship store was lost under his watch. Honey, do you think he's a capable worker?"
"Hmm," Li Mingzhu said with a smile, "Losing the Brilliant flagship store wasn't due to a lack of strategy, but rather because our brothers' development momentum was unstoppable. It's mainly because your work ability is too strong."
"Oh, that's a nice compliment," Wang Peng said, unable to suppress a laugh. Being praised by his wife was a source of pride.
Li Mingzhu rolled her eyes: "This isn't flattery, I'm telling the truth."
Hearing this, Wang Peng laughed again. His wife was right; the rise of Brothers Supermarket was indeed unstoppable.
The only things that can stop Brothers Supermarket now are space and transportation. Citizens who live far from Brothers Supermarket generally don't shop here.
Wang Peng said, "You're right. I think it's only a matter of time before the Brilliant Board of Directors reinstates Wang Cheng."
Li Mingzhu nodded hurriedly, "So, we can't stop Wang Cheng from becoming president. Since we can't stop him, we might as well help him out."
“It’s not about helping him. It’s a deal,” Li Mingzhu said softly. “He’s selling out Brilliant’s interests to us in exchange for his own.”
“I understand all these principles.” Wang Peng thought carefully and said, “I’ll think about it carefully and give her an answer after I return from my trip.”
Just then, his phone rang. He answered it and put it to his ear: "Hello."
Dong Shishi's voice came through the phone: "Brother Peng, this is Dong Shishi. I'm sorry to bother you so early."
Wang Peng glanced at his watch; it wasn't even eight in the morning yet. He frowned slightly but remained silent.
Dong Shishi said, "Brother Peng, yesterday someone from Brilliant called me and offered 100,000 yuan to buy my shares."
"Hehe, this price is not low." Wang Peng chuckled.
Dong Shishi owns two percent of the shares, which are worth approximately 80,000 yuan on the market.
“Ms. Dong, when we signed the agreement, there was a repurchase priority agreement, are you aware of it?” Wang Peng asked.
“I understand. If I want to sell my shares, I must first make an offer to you. Only if you don’t sell can I sell to someone else,” Dong Shishi said.
"It's good that you know," Wang Peng pressed, "Are you giving me a quote now?"
“No, I don’t want to sell my shares for the time being,” Dong Shishi replied. “Brother Peng, could you help me persuade Lei Zi about my situation?”
The implication is: if you don't persuade Du Lei to get back together with me, I'll sell my shares to Brilliant. As for the right of first refusal, it doesn't matter. There's a lot of room for maneuver here.
Wang Peng gave a cold laugh: "Ms. Dong, are you threatening me?"
"No," Dong Shishi denied immediately. "Brother Peng, there's a huge gap in our status. How could I possibly have the right to threaten you?"
Wang Peng said in a deep voice, "Ms. Dong, Du Lei's relationship is a private matter, and I will not interfere. If you have the ability, then get Du Lei to accept you back."
"Brother Peng, do you mean you're not going to interfere in my private affairs with Du Lei?" Dong Shishi asked excitedly.
"This is my private matter, it's none of your business. I need to eat now, goodbye." Wang Peng said and hung up the phone.
The sound quality of mobile phones is not good nowadays. Li Mingzhu heard the conversation and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
She shook her head: "It seems she's still not giving up. Honey, do you think Du Lei can handle it?"
"That's not important." Wang Peng sneered, "If he can't handle it, I'll find a way to help him solve this problem."
At the Xinglan Hotel in the provincial capital, Du Lei groggily opened his eyes and stared blankly at the hotel ceiling.
Thinking back on his indulgence the night before, he felt deeply ashamed, but he didn't know why he felt ashamed.
Unfaithful to his girlfriend? No, he's a bachelor now and hasn't had a girlfriend in a long time.
He sat up in bed, picked up his phone from the table, and found that it was out of battery.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. He casually said, "Come in."
The door opened, and a girl walked in carrying a charger, smiling as she said, "Mr. Du, would you like a charger?"
"Yes. Thank you," Du Lei said.
The girl walked over to him and plugged in his phone to charge. She didn't leave; there were tea leaves and a kettle on the table, so she went to make tea for Du Lei.
Du Lei was suffering from a hangover and was incredibly thirsty. Looking closely at the girl, he realized she wasn't a hotel waitress; she was pretty and looked quite healthy.
"Are you a waiter?" he asked immediately.
"Mr. Du, what can I do for you?" The girl smiled slightly and came to his side.
"My head hurts a lot, can you rub it for me?" Du Lei lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
The girl took off her shoes and got into bed, gently massaging his temples. The movements were very gentle, making Du Lei feel comfortable.
"Mr. Du, my name is Wang Meijing. I'm not a waitress here. The owner, Feng Daliang, is my uncle," the girl said softly.
"Huh?" Du Lei opened his eyes and stared straight at her. "I don't understand. What does Lao Feng mean?"
Wang Meijing said, "My uncle said you are the president of Brothers Supermarket and the third most important person in Brothers. He suggested that I take the initiative to pursue you, and I accepted his suggestion."
Du Lei was completely dumbfounded. In his worldview, it was always the boys who pursued the girls.
Wang Meijing smiled and said, "You are young and promising, full of energy, and have a bright future. I feel that you can make me happy, so I pursued you."
Du Lei was stunned again, and couldn't help but recall his relationship with Dong Shishi.
When they were dating, he was always the one who took the initiative to pursue Dong Shishi. Whenever Dong Shishi was unhappy, she would get angry with him.
She never massaged Du Lei's head, never cared about his life, and never even cooked a meal for him.
"Girl, you're not kidding me, are you?" Du Lei said. "I just spent the whole night with one of the waitresses here yesterday. Didn't your uncle tell you?"
“I don’t care,” Wang Meijing said. “I provide you with emotional value, and you provide me with economic value. You can marry me, or you can stay single.”
Du Lei stared at Wang Meijing, dumbfounded. He didn't even know what emotional value was. However, he did appreciate Wang Meijing's honesty.
State your purpose and the deal clearly, without using love as an excuse.
Just then, someone knocked on the door again, and a waiter came in carrying millet porridge. Wang Meijing took the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and put it to Du Lei's lips.
"I'll drink it myself." Du Lei blushed and hurriedly took the spoon from her hand.
Wang Meijing said softly, "The toothpaste and toothbrush here are no good. I'll go to the street to buy you some. Wait for me."
