The next morning, Wang Cheng received a call from Zhang Er.
“Boss, we monitored him all night yesterday, and no one approached Zhuang Hua except for the doctors and nurses who changed his dressings.”
Wang Cheng frowned slightly. He had always suspected that Zhuang Hua was Wang Peng's man, and he saw Wang Peng's shadow in Zhuang Hua's style of doing things.
For example, they might inform him in advance, even if it means giving up a windfall of 200,000 yuan, just to work for him.
That's 200,000 yuan. Ninety-nine point nine percent of people would choose to abscond with the money.
Zhuang Hua was tortured for three days, but he still refused to admit that he was an undercover agent sent by Wang Peng. What kind of tough guy could withstand such torture?
Could it be that I wronged him? Is he really not related to Wang Peng? Wang Cheng frowned, staring intently at the golden toad on his desk.
"Boss, are you still listening?" Zhang Er asked cautiously.
"Hmm." Wang Cheng coughed and said in a deep voice, "Once Zhuang Hua has recovered from his injuries, have him come to see me."
"Yes, boss. Is there anything else you need?" Zhang Er asked.
"That's all." Wang Cheng hung up the phone, went to the window and bedside, and looked down at the people coming and going.
Thinking of Wang Peng and Li Mengjiao, he gritted his teeth in hatred: "Wang Peng, why do you have to pick a fight with me?"
Wang Peng drove to the Huihuang District Committee, found Director Hu Yong, and handed him the tax exemption application form for Store No. 5.
Hu Yong looked at it carefully, signed it without hesitation, and smiled broadly as he held Wang Peng's hand.
"Brother, you're truly my lucky star; you've done me a huge favor. Tonight at eight o'clock, we're having a celebration banquet at the Xinglan Hotel. You absolutely must bring General Manager Li with you."
Worried that Wang Peng might decline, Hu Yong added, "You absolutely must attend! I'll call you tonight and personally pick up General Manager Li."
Wang Peng nodded: "Okay, I will definitely bring Mengjiao there."
"That's right, haha..." Hu Yong slapped his thigh, "You deserve the greatest credit for the huge success of this investment promotion."
Baker, from the British elevator factory, has reached a preliminary investment agreement with Hu Yong to invest at least £300,000 to build the province's first elevator factory in the Brilliant District.
Li Mengjiao also reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Hu Yong to build the largest family planning products production base in the province in the northwest of Huihuang District.
With these two achievements, Hu Yong will be promoted at least two ranks, and if he is even luckier, he could be promoted three ranks.
"Xiaopeng, you can tell me what's bothering you now," Hu Yong said with a smile.
After thinking it over carefully, Wang Peng tentatively suggested, "The parking lot in front of Store No. 5 is too small. Could we convert the old cotton and linen factory warehouse nearby into a parking lot?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yong's eyes narrowed and his expression became extremely serious.
The Brothers No. 5 store is so popular that there is never enough parking in front of it, and most of the time you have to park on the side of the road.
That area is also a hotspot for bicycle thefts. Many people give up on Brothers No. 5 Store and go to Brilliant No. 5 Store instead because they can't park there.
"Xiao Peng, wouldn't it be better if you two just coexisted peacefully with Huihuang Supermarket? Why do you have to fight each other to the death?" Hu Yong asked solemnly.
Wang Peng smiled slightly: "Director Hu, the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. Even if I don't kill Huihuang, Huihuang will kill me."
"Sigh!" Hu Yong sighed deeply. As the manager of the Brilliant District, he wanted both shopping malls to prosper together.
The only problem currently hindering Brothers Store No. 5 is the difficulty in finding parking. If the cotton and linen factory warehouse next door were converted into a free parking area, then...
Then Brother No. 5 Store will soar to new heights, and will sound the death knell for Brilliant No. 5 Store.
Wang Peng said softly, "Director, is this matter difficult?"
Hu Yong sighed again and shook his head: "In our government agencies, it's difficult to do anything."
Wang Peng was somewhat disappointed: "If there's no hope, then don't do it. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yong looked embarrassed and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Brother, that's not what I meant. How about this, after the investment promotion is over, I'll convene a meeting with the relevant departments to discuss this further."
"Thank you, thank you, Director." Wang Peng was overjoyed. Once the parking lot was built, the countdown to the opening of Brilliant Supermarket would begin.
"Xiaopeng, don't be too happy yet. Huihuang will definitely do everything he can to stop us."
Hu Yong walked over to Wang Peng and patted him on the shoulder: "I don't have a one-man show in the Brilliant District. You should be prepared."
Wang Peng thought about it carefully, then said with a smile, "Director, can you show me the way?"
Hu Yong hesitated for two seconds, then lowered his voice and said, "As long as Secretary Chen supports the plan to convert the abandoned warehouse into a parking lot, there won't be much resistance to this."
Wang Peng immediately thought of the chubby Chen Mancheng. He seemed to be retiring this year and was basically in a semi-retired state.
However, he was a benefactor to Huihuang Supermarket. Huihuang Supermarket's current scale is inseparable from his support.
Hu Yong chuckled and whispered, "Old Chen will also be attending the celebration banquet tonight. You two should have a good chat."
Wang Peng nodded hurriedly: "Director, I'll need your introduction then."
Hu Yong immediately changed the subject and began to talk about the future plans of Brothers Supermarket and the prospects of James Bond Group.
The two chatted from morning until noon, then went to the cafeteria for lunch together. After lunch, Hu Yong escorted Wang Peng to the gate.
Wang Peng returned to Store No. 5 and called Li Mengjiao: "Mengjiao, are you done with work at the company?"
"I'm done with work. Honey, where are you?" Li Mengjiao asked.
"I'm at Store No. 5. I just talked with Hu Yong all morning, and he invited us to a celebration banquet." Wang Peng asked, "How are you feeling?"
Li Mengjiao yawned: "Honey, I'm appointing you as the global vice president of James Bond. You represent me."
Wang Peng was taken aback, then laughed and said, "What's going on? You don't want to attend the meeting?"
"Hmm!" Li Mengjiao complained on the phone, "I've been so busy and tired these past two days, and the baby keeps kicking me. I don't want to stay up late anymore."
“Alright, I’ll report to Hu Yong,” Wang Peng said. “As for that global vice president thing, isn’t that unnecessary?”
“Absolutely.” Li Mengjiao laughed. “You don’t have any real power as vice president yet. Once I give birth to our son, I’ll put you in charge of the domestic situation.”
"Don't add to my burden, haha." Wang Peng said with a smile, "You're at the company, right? I'll come find you."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Peng went downstairs and drove to the James Bond headquarters. On his way to the president's office on the fifth floor, he ran into his third sister, Wang Xia.
"Wang Xia, you don't look well. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Wang Peng pointed to the dark circles under her eyes.
"Brother, your idea of vending machines is a genius! It will definitely solve our sales problems." Wang Xia grabbed Wang Peng's hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Wang Peng smiled slightly: "Alright, stop flattering me, get some rest."
Wang Xia paused for a moment, then whispered, "Big brother, do you want to know about Li Guifen?"
"Tell me about it tomorrow," Wang Peng waved his hand and turned to go upstairs.
