"I know, I know!"
Erlai bowed and scraped as he led his men out of the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Dongzhe saw that Erlaitou had left, he said to Xiang Pengfei, "Brother Pengfei, you're really amazing! You got rid of him with just a few words!"
"well!"
Xiang Pengfei sighed and said, "It's not that I'm powerful, it's that I have strong backing. Otherwise, someone would definitely have gotten hurt!"
Lin Dongzhe explained, "But it's not our fault! We bought it with our own money, we didn't steal it!"
"I know, but you've offended someone not to be trifled with. He's Erlaitou, a notorious scoundrel in the cotton mill!"
Lin Wufeng said, "I've dealt with this scoundrel before. Back then, he was a timid and cowardly person. I never expected his uncle to become the deputy factory director. This is something I never anticipated. I hope this matter can be put to rest. Thank you, Pengfei!"
"It's alright, Uncle Lin. I'll be going now since there's nothing else here. I have a lot of things to take care of at the company!"
"Okay, then I wish you a fortune every day and everlasting wealth!"
"Uncle Lin, thank you for your kind words, I'm off!"
"Um!"
After seeing Xiang Pengfei off, Lin Wufeng said to Lin Dongzhe, "Alright, that's all. I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything!"
"Dad, didn't that rascal say he wanted to renovate it? Is it really necessary for us to waste money and effort on this? We can just wait for the development!"
Lin Wufeng snorted and said, "Silly child, do you think you can believe what Erlaitou says?"
"I think it's believable, after all, it was the deputy factory director who told him to do it!"
"What if it's just an excuse?"
"Why would the deputy factory director need to lie to his own nephew?"
"Don't think too much about it! Just stay here and I'll cover for you if anything happens!"
"Okay! I'll listen to Dad!"
So Lin Wufeng also left.
After Erlai Tou dismissed his underlings, he had a car take him directly to Wu Shanshan's kindergarten construction site.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the construction site bustling with activity as steel structures were being erected.
He walked through the busy workers to the office and knocked on the door.
Perhaps because the construction site was too noisy, Zhou Chengzhi couldn't fall asleep at all. He shouted outside, "Who is it? What's all the noise about? Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning!"
Er Laitou hurriedly said, "Boss Zhou, it's me! Er Laitou!"
"You scoundrel? What are you trying to do? Do you believe I'll have my brothers beat you up?"
"Brother, I believe you, I believe you, but please open the door, I need to talk to you!"
A little while later, Zhou Chengzhi, wearing a coat, appeared. He had a cigarette in his mouth and said to Er Laitou, "What are you doing? Looking for death or something?"
Erlai said with a smile, "No, brother, I really have something to say, can you let me finish?"
"Alright. Go ahead and say it!"
"Brother, haven't you heard anything about the cotton mill's redevelopment?"
"Slum redevelopment?"
Zhou Chengzhi immediately spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and said, "Is this true? Who told you?"
"To be honest, brother, my uncle is now the deputy director of the cotton mill. He's the one who told me that!"
Is it reliable?
"Of course it's reliable, how could I dare to lie to you! Isn't that right, brother?"
"But I haven't heard a single word about it!"
"Did your uncle, Vice Mayor Yan, not mention a word to you?"
Zhou Chengzhi looked at Erlaitou with some surprise and said, "How do you know my uncle is Vice Mayor Yan?"
"Your brother-in-law Xiang Pengfei told me!"
"He told you that? What right does he have to tell you that?"
"Because I took people to the courtyard I sold, and my uncle told me that the compensation was 100 yuan per square meter, plus a 100-square-meter building. I knew I had lost money in the business, so I wanted to get it back from the Lin family. I didn't expect him to interfere with Pengfei and even told me that your uncle is Vice Mayor Yan!"
"That's right, my uncle is Vice Mayor Yan. What exactly do you want? Speak your mind, get to the point, stop beating around the bush!"
"I'd like to partner with you to take on this project and make a fortune together, how about it?"
Zhou Chengzhi suddenly laughed a few times, then his face darkened, and he said, "Sorry, you can leave! I'm not interested!"
"What's wrong, boss? This is a multi-billion dollar project. Even a single hair on it is worth more than our previous business deals. Why are you turning a blind eye to this opportunity and not making any money?"
"Hmph, why would I cooperate with you? You have no money, no power, what makes you think you can cooperate with me?"
"I have more than a dozen brothers under me, and they all listen to the boss!"
"Let me tell you, I have hundreds of people on the construction site. If I raise my arm, I can summon thousands of people. Your dozen or so people are nothing to worry about!"
"My uncle is the deputy factory director, a very influential person. He can speak up for you when it matters!"
"Do you believe I can call my uncle and make him lose his job and become an ordinary worker right away?"
"No, no, brother! That's exactly what your brother-in-law threatened me with just now. I was so scared I didn't dare breathe!"
“Don’t you dare mention Xiang Pengfei in front of me. I have a grudge against him now. He’s ruined my plans time and time again.”
"Really? That's great, boss! I also have a grudge against her. You know, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. We're friends, so we can work together to deal with Xiang Pengfei!"
"Heh, let me tell you, I have no interest in cooperating with you. If you want to follow me, you can be my underling, and I'll give you a job as a leader, leading your dozen or so brothers. You'll do whatever I tell you to do, how about that?"
Although Erlaitou was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise since he didn't have the same powerful backing as the other guy. He said, "Fine, I promise to listen to you, boss. If you say east, I won't go west, and if you say west, I will never go east!"
"I had Wang Yong and his son graffiti on the wall, but that wasn't scary enough. So you, take your brothers and put some scary things on the trees along the street that people won't dare to look up at! Things that will scare them when they look up!"
Erlaitou asked, somewhat puzzled, "What can we possibly do, boss?"
Zhou Chengzhi said impatiently with a look of disdain, "Otherwise, I won't be willing to cooperate with you. You're a blockhead, a slow learner. Cooperating with you will only make my IQ drop by a percentage!"
"Please enlighten me, boss!"
"It's about finding some mannequin heads, plastic figures, and stuff like that, painting them red, and hanging them on trees to terrify people. Also, get some white clothes, hang them on trees, and paint them red too, so people will think they're ghosts. If you can scare people, I'll give you a reward. If you can't scare people, you fucking get the hell out of here!"
"Yes, yes, boss, I'll get it for you right away, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Zhou Chengzhi patted Erlaitou on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Thanks, boss! I'll go right away, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Go!
Zhou Chengzhi watched Erlaitou leave, then turned and went into his office.
While drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror, Wu Shanshan said, "This scoundrel caused trouble at my house a few days ago, and you've already taken him in as your henchman. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Zhou Chengzhi walked to Wu Shanshan's side, put his arm around her waist, touched her belly, and said, "Wife, I won't let any of those who offend you get away with it. He's still useful now, isn't he? Once I'm done with him, I'll send him to jail immediately. How about that, my good wife!"
"Is that really true!"
"I, Zhou Chengzhi, swear before you, if I am not struck by lightning or destroyed by the heavens!"
"Come on! I don't want to be a widow again. I'll let that scoundrel help you, but I can't let him have a good ending!"
"Okay, okay, I promise I'll listen to my wife, alright?"
Wu Shanshan finally smiled, and at that moment, her gaze turned to Zhuang Tunan through the glass.
