    His head was foggy, his throat dry, and the feeling of a hangover made Lu Feng want to vomit; however, there was nothing left in his empty stomach to throw up.


    He opened his eyes, that action alone exhausted his entire body. He was in a small and crowded room, lying on a wooden nk bed. His surroundings were old, and emitted a musty smell.


    "Where is this?"


    There was a red bucket not far away, and Lu Feng managed to get up and stand in front of it. He scooped up half adle of cold water and swallowed it down in one gulp.


    Finally feeling better, Lu Feng raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror in front of him, dumbfounded.


    In the mirror was a man with messy hair, in his twenties, wearing aborers camouge uniform on the upper half of his body and a pair of worn out suit trousers on the lower half. His face was dry and thin, like he had been malnourished for years.


    Lu Feng''s hand trembled a little as he touched his face, it felt so real!


    "Who is this? This isn''t me!"


    A tingling sensation rushed into his brain, causing his fragile body to copse. Half-kneeling in front of the bucket and panting heavily, some confusing memories presented themselves to him.


    Lu Feng, twenty-four years old, primary school education, married for four years, wife named Jiang Xiaoyan, has a child, jobless, grew up idle and fighting around, good at gambling and often beats his wife ......


    "No!"


    These memories confused Lu Feng''s brain. Mixed with these memories, he was also called Lu Feng, thirty-five years old, graduate from a key university, chairman of two listedpanies, worth more than two billion and seven hundred million dors in 2020, just been named one of the ten outstanding young talents, not yet married.


    Lu Feng sorted out his memories, raised his head sharply and looked at the calendar on the wall, and his whole body froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.


    The year on the calendar was: 1990.


    Two hourster, Lu Feng finally finished digesting the memories in his head.


    Jiang Xiaoyan had refused to share a room and tried to force Lu Feng to go to the city to work.


    He was fired from the factory, drank every day, and whenever he had a little trouble; he woulde home and beat her up.


    A few monthster Jiang Xiaoyan adopted a six months old daughter, but Lu Feng did not change much. Jiang Xiaoyan thought about divorce, but in this day and age, divorce is something a woman does not dare think about.


    Yesterday, Lu Feng came back after drinking to beat her up and passed out after beating the poor woman. Who would have thought this sleep would bring Lu Feng to the present?


    The sound of the door opening outside interrupted Lu Feng''s memories and he looked towards the door.


    The door to the room opened, and a smiling little girl in a pink dress ran in. When she saw Lu Feng half-kneeling in front of the bucket, the smile on her face instantly turned to fear, as if she had seen the devil.


    "Mummy, he''s awake!"


    The little one nged to a slender thigh, and when Lu Feng looked upwards, it was a tall pretty girl with delicate features and a pair of big bright eyes.


    She had the kind of body that femaleizens on the inte yearster would crave. Yet, the fear in her eyes and the bruises on her face spoiled it all.


    Looking at each other, Lu Feng was a little embarrassed and slowly raised his hand in greeting, "Hello guys!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan had never heard her husband speak so gently before. She froze there for a while before bowing her head and saying, "You''re hungry, aren''t you? I''ll make dinner."


    "Thanks!" Lu Feng spoke.


    Jiang Xiaoyan thought she was having trouble with her ears, and looked at him with wide eyes.She asked incredulously, "What did you say?"


    "I said thank you."


    Jiang Xiaoyan smiled a bit miserably and said, "You''re wee. Next time when you hit me, just be a bit gentle,"


    Lu Feng wanted to tell her that he was not the one who had beaten her yesterday.Lu Feng thought that no one would believe him; even he was still half-convinced that he was dreaming.


    Although Jiang Xiaoyan was only twenty-three years old, she was very handy in the kitchen. She looked at the kitchen and sighed.


    She had saved a few hundred dors, but Lu Feng took it away and put it on the gambling table.


    Lu Feng drank half adle of cold water again; his body regained some strength.He sat back on the bed to look at this little girl in pink, if he remembered correctly, her name was Duo Duo.


    "Duo Duo,e here!"


    The little one took a step back with a fearful face, clutching a worn out doll in her arms.


    Lu Feng sighed a little helplessly. In her eyes, he was probably more frightening than the devil.He could only say that the original Lu Feng''s death was something to be thankful for.


    "Duo Duo, help mum with the dishes." Jiang Xiaoyan''s voice came from the kitchen, very light and cheerful.


    ¡®


    If this home didn''t have Lu Feng, I''m sure it would be more weing.¡¯,


    Lu Feng thought


    Duo Duo darted to the kitchen and skillfully took out three pairs of chopsticks and a te of pickled vegetables, as Jiang Xiaoyan brought out threerge bowls and ced them on the shabby table.


    Hanging noodles boiled in in water, a strip of green vegetables in each bowl, and only Lu Feng''s bowl with two lotus eggs looked significant.


    It was the family''s custom to put whatever delicious food there was, in Lu Feng''s bowl; otherwise, he would snap the bowl over Jiang Xiaoyan''s head.


    "Let''s eat!" Jiang Xiaoyan sat down across the table, not even looking at Lu Feng, smiled towards Duo Duo and said, "You''re growing, eat up!"


    This meal would definitely be the worst meal Lu Feng had ever eaten in his entire life.


    Jiang Xiaoyan noticed that Lu Feng wasn''t moving his chopsticks and spoke, "There''s no soy sauce at home. Don''t get mad, make do with what you have. If you want to eat well, you can go to your friends."


    "That''s fine," Lu Feng picked up his chopsticks and with them, lifted up the lotus egg in his bowl and ced it in Duo Duo''s bowl.


    Duo Duo stared wide-eyed at the egg in her bowl and then at Jiang Xiaoyan, who didn''t dare move her chopsticks.


    Lu Feng ced the other egg in Jiang Xiaoyan''s bowl.


    All she could think of was that Lu Feng was asking for money again.


    "We don''t have any money at home and I can''t get an advance on my sry, so if this continues Duo Duo and I will starve to death." Jiang Xiaoyan pleaded.


    She was afraid of annoying Lu Feng, afraid of another beating; as she spoke, tears were falling into her bowl.


    "Mummy don''t cry, mummy don''t cry!" Duo Duo rushed to wipe Jiang Xiaoyan''s tears.


    "I... I didn''t say I wanted money." Lu Feng, a person who was most afraid of women crying had his hands full for a while. Not knowing what to do, he hurriedly said, "I''m not working now either, you work every day and Duo Duo is growing, the eggs are for both of you to eat."


    Jiang Xiaoyan felt that her world had been turned upside down, as she looked up at Lu Feng with disbelief. She thought


    This man, Lu Feng, had changed his personality?

 Chapter 2 - Hope

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    The wind swept away the bowl of noodles, Lu Feng even picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup clean. He smacked his lips, indicating he was very satisfied.


    He had his share of poor upbringing and the hardships of starting a business on many asions before.Now whenpared, Lu Feng realized how happy he was at that time.


    Jiang Xiaoyan stood up; ready to clean up the dishes. Lu Feng hurriedly said, interrupting her, "I''ll do it. I already feel very embarrassed, eating for nothing.¡±


    Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. The dishes and chopsticks in her hands had been taken away. Lu Feng took the dishes inside the kitchen and began washing the pans and pots.


    Duo Duo''s eyes were wide with surprise, and there was a big question mark in her little head.She asked in a small voice, "Mom, what''s wrong with him?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan also does not know what is wrong with him. All she can think of is that Lu Feng wants money, and the only money the family ever had was the wedding gift of nine hundred dors.


    Because of this nine hundred, Lu Feng had beaten her more than once, but that money really was spent.Moving out from the vige all the way out here, with other expenses was all based on that money.


    Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to tell Duo Duo that he will be a good father, but she thought better of it as the words came to her mouth. She then thought if Lu Feng¡¯s move was about money, then surely he would beat her again.


    Instead, why give her this hope?


    Maybe he found his conscience. Has he changed for the better?


    The childish words that came out of her mouth were full of expectations.


    Jiang Xiaoyan did not say anything, but reached out her slender hand and touched Duo Duo''s little head. She looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "How about going to the electronics factory with mommyter?"


    Duo Duo frowned and said, "It''s so noisy there, and that fat uncle always scolds me."


    "You try to be good.If he scolds you, ignore him.We are poor and cannot offend others." Jiang Xiaoyan was helpless. She managed to get a job at the electronics factory; though, she had a hard time getting it.


    Working every morning in a small restaurant as a waitress, washing dishes gets one hundred fifty dors a month. The electronics factory is a high-end factory but she fills-in for others; hence, she is given fifty dors even though the monthly sry is two hundred dors.


    If you do not look at that person who does not go to work and gets a hundred and fifty dors a month for just sitting at home, there are people willing to take 30 to 40 dors a month for the same job. It is all thanks to Jiang Xiaoyan''s fast hands, quick work, and high school education to get a few more dors.


    Lu Feng was washing dishes in the kitchen. With food in his stomach, his brain started to be flexible and he began to think about how he came into Lu Feng''s body.


    He had read some things about rebirth, but he was reborn into someone else''s body. This was really rare even in books.


    After ten years of struggle, with more than two billion in assets; it is not so easy to give up. It contained too much of his heart, soul and hard work. Now Lu Feng just wanted to go back.


    As for Jiang Xiaoyan, the former Lu Feng had died and their days would be better. Lu Feng was never a kind-hearted person.


    Looking at the water in the pot he was washing, Lu Feng was secretly thinking. Will electrocuting himself make him go back?


    Or having another drink?


    The matter of drinking was immediately dismissed by him.This house had no such luxuries.


    " Most of these types of movies show the subject being electrocuted. I can put my hand into an electrified water basin; even if it does not work, the body twitches after the electric shock and I would be disconnected from the power supply breaking the circuit and not be seriously injured!"


    Lu Feng secretly nodded his head, thinking that this is a way; although, the approach is very funny. As long as there is a ray of hope, he is willing to try.


    Coming out of the kitchen, Lu Feng saw the two girls muttering about something and said, "Your face injury is okay?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden concern, and replied, "Yes."


    "Do you any have medicine at home? Put some medicine on it."


    "No, forget it.It''s not a problem." Jiang Xiao


    ¡°Lu Feng, the gift money that your family gave us has really been spent. I didn''t lie to you when I said I didn''t have any money to buy food tonight. I went to the electronics factory to borrow a few cents from someone."


    As Jiang Xiaoyan finished her words, her eyes tightly closed.Her pretty face screwed up into a ball, ready to meet his fists and feet like a storm of invasion, but nothing happened.


    "Then let''s borrow some first.You two must always eat, Duo Duo is growing up, and you have to go work every day. You''re still working this afternoon, right?" Lu Feng looked at Duo Duo with a smile and said, "Duo Duo will be at home with me."


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s face stretched out, her gaze full of disbelief. Now she no longer knew what Lu Feng really wanted, trying not to believe that Lu Feng had changed for the better.


    She couldn''t believe it. For Lu Feng, Jiang Xiaoyan wasn''t disappointed; she was desperate, not daring to hold on to even the slightest hope, or else the next second could send her into the eighteenth level of hell.


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Duo Duo and immediately realized something. She pulled Duo Duo into her arms in fear and shouted at Lu Feng, "What do you want! Are you crazy?"


    "Huh?"


    Lu Feng just wanted to help her with the baby, and this little one was adorable. He did not know why she was reacting vigorously.


    "If you dare sell Duo Duo, I''ll call the police! I''ll send you go to hell even if I die!" Jiang Xiaoyan dared to talk to Lu Feng like so for the first time.Her gaze was full of determination, as if she was telling Lu Feng that she was true to her every word.She dropped her head and stroked Duo Duo''s little head, and said gently, "Mummy will go and change, let¡¯s go to the factoryter."


    Jiang Xiaoyan walked to a dpidatedbination cab and opened the door, taking out her electronics factory work jacket.This jacket was the best piece of clothing she had, the rest were old and bought when she got married.


    Duo Duo''s big eyes blinked as she looked at Lu Feng, cautiously approaching him and asking, "Have you changed for the better?"


    Lu Feng nodded and whispered, "Yes!"


    "Then you won''t hit my mother again, will you?"


    "Yes, never again."


    The smile on the little one''s face blossomed, and she beckoned Lu Feng to bend down saying, "Come here."


    Lu Feng bent down and the little one whispered in his ear, "Poopy, as long as you don''t hit mommy, I''ll call you Poppy."


    Jiang Xiaoyan put on her coat. Seeing Duo Duo whispering with Lu Feng, she said cautiously, "Duo Duo, let''s go; we''ll be scolded if we''rete."


    With these words, she picked up Duo Duo in her arms and went out.


    Lu Feng remained bent over, his whole body was stunned for more than ten seconds.The corners of his mouth flowed into an enthralling smile.


    In his life, he had never been called dad before. Duo Duo¡¯s milky voice was quite pleasing.


    The house was a bit of a mess, so Lu Feng stood up and started to clean the house:Scrubbing the tables and chairs all over. In his head though, he was thinking about going back.


    He listed up all the ways he could conceptualize in his head. Since he coulde; it must mean that he could also go back. What he feared most was that he would be thought to have died suddenly from drinking. After the doctor pronounces him dead, he would be sent straight to the crematorium.


    "If I''m burnt to ashes, it''ll really be the end."


    Lu Feng just hoped that the doctor would not give up on him. All afternoon, apart from tidying up his new home, Lu Feng found two electric wires that he could connect to the water basin and plug them into a socket.


    At night, it was almostpletely dark outside; there was not even a street light.Only the stars could be seen at the edge of the sky, and the dim gas light in the house made the mood despondent.


    The sound of a key opening the door rang outside, and the door opened. Jiang Xiaoyan appeared and looked at the tidy house a little bewildered.She was holding Duo Duo in her arms, covered her with her jacket and obviously asleep.


    "You did this?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, looking at Lu Feng with a hint of delight in her voice.

    "Yeah, I had nothing to do at home this afternoon so I cleaned up a bit." Lu Feng''s gaze fell on Jiang Xiaoyan''s other hand.


    The bag contained vegetables, soy sauce and a small piece of pork; the in water hanging noodles from lunchtime was not very nutritious and Lu Feng was now starving to dizziness.


    Jiang Xiaoyan followed Lu Feng''s gaze to look at the bag in her hand and said, "I borrowed 80 cents from Sister Li at the electronics factory and bought some vegetables and meat; please hold it from me, I''ll cook right away."


    Lu Feng took the bag and said, "Look after the child, I''ll cook."


    Jiang Xiaoyan put the snoozing Duo Duo on the bed, looked at the clean and tidy home and then looked at Lu Feng¡¯s busy figure in the kitchen. The whole person was like a walking dream.


    Is this really true? Is it because God thinks I am suffering too much and wants to give me something sweet?


    Jiang Xiaoyan had never wished for anything in her life, yet she looked at the busy man in the kitchen and just wished for a few more days like this, or even a few more hours and she would be satisfied.


    Lu Feng was not this excited even when hispany went public for the first time, and now he looked at the few taels of meat and could not calm down his frame of mind for quite some time; he sighed realizing that the prices are really cheap now.


    Just eighty cents to buy such arge pile of things,


    He thought.


    Now, some small ces still use food stamps; consequently, the big white rabbit costs a three pennies a piece and pork is less than 50 cents a catty. Jiang Xiaoyan is very diligent, with her ie enough to keep the family clothed and fed.


    The meat slices went into the pot, nourishing the mouth-watering aroma of meat. Lu Feng skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, and the smell of meat wafted out of the house and into the hallway.


    Inside another rented room, an obese woman in her forties sniffed loudly and asked the man beside her, "From whose house is this meat smelling from?"


    "Why do you care whose house it is? Let''s eat."


    "There are only a few families in this building that can afford to eat meat: it''s neither a holiday nor an asion. I have to check it out, what if it''s Lu Feng''s family?"


    "That Lu Feng is a gambling addict; he can''t even afford to drink the Northwestern winds, and he still eats meat?"


    "What if he wins money? His wife borrowed a dor and twenty from me two months ago and paid back only 60 cents, there''s still 60 cents left damn it. She avoids me whenever she sees me."


    The woman said as she pushed open the door and walked out.


    Lu Feng put the food on the table, looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Eat, don''t disturb Duo Duo; just save some for her."


    Jiang Xiaoyan nodded and sat down opposite to him. Looking at the table full of food made her eyes moist. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth tears fell down.


    ¡°What''s wrong?" Lu Feng picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it in a big bite, asking, "Why are you crying?"


    "It''s nothing, I''m just happy." Jiang Xiaoyan wiped her tears and choked up, "You''ll find a job in a few days and we¡¯ll have a good life, don''t hang out with your foxy friends anymore okay? I''m begging you."


    "Yes, no more." Lu Feng nodded his head, agreeing but as for finding a job, he didn''t promise. After this meal, he had to go back.


    Lu Feng nced at the sleeping Duo Duo, in his heart he wished the mother and daughter a good future and lowered his head to eat.


    The woman wandered around the hallway for a while before finally locking onto Lu Feng''s house and reaching out to knock on the door.


    "Who is it?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.


    "Me! Li Da Fang." The voice outside the door was low, as if it carried a hint of fire.


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked a little nervous at the name. Every household in the building knew that Li Da Fang was difficult to mess with and if it wasn''t for the fact that she couldn''t make ends meet two months ago; she would not have borrowed money from Li Da Fang.


    "What''s wrong?" Lu Feng sensed that something was wrong with her.


    "Nothing, it''s just that I have 60 cents that I haven''t returned. I''ll go tell her that I''ll pay her back first thing when I get paid this month." Jiang Xiaoyan said as she stood up and went to open the door.


    "I''ll take the dishes to the kitchen." Lu Feng picked up the dishes and went inside the kitchen.


    The kitchen basin was already half-filled with water and hooked to the socket with the two wires. Lu Feng looked at the setup in front of him, took a deep breath and started fidgeting with the wires; silently praying in his heart for it to work and hoping that when he opened his eyes again, he would be Chairman Lu Feng!


    Jiang Xiaoyan opened the door and saw Li Da Fang with a dark face; she greeted her with a smile and asked, "Sister Li, it''s sote, what''s the matter?"


    "It''s a good day for your family to eat meat!" Li Da Fang leaned against the door frame and said, "You still owe me 60 cents, when will you pay? Even though I can''t eat meat as a lender; borrowing money to eat big fish and meat, aren¡¯t you thick-skinned?" Taunted Li Da Fang


    Jiang Xiaoyan said with a face full of embarrassment, "Sister Li, my family is having a hard time, so I borrowed 80 cents from someone today to improve my food; please allow me a few more days and I will positively pay you back the day I get paid."


    "Don''t talk such nonsense, how long have you been dragging your feet? I''ve given you time till now, haven''t I? Now, pay me back!" Li Da Fang was unforgiving.


    Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly searched her pocket, but there were only 30 cents left out of the 80 cents she borrowed, so she said, "I''ll pay you back 30 cents now and when I get paid, I''ll definitely pay you back the other 30."


    Li Da Fang snatched the 30 cents away and said, "Where are the other 30 cents? If you don''t pay me back today, don''t me me for berating you."


    "Sister Li, will you allow me a few days?" Jiang Xiaoyan''s voice was beseeching, already red-eyed. Her life finally began seeing hope and believing that the future would surely be better.


    "I beg you!" pleaded Jiang Xiaoyan trying to hold Li Da Fang¡¯s hand.


    Li Da Fang shook off Jiang Xiaoyan''s hand and said coldly, "Don''t give me that nonsense; pay me back right now or don''t me me for being ungracious."


    "Sister Li, can you allow me a few days, just a few days! I''m on my knees for you." Jiang Xiaoyan was in tears and knelt down on the ground with shaking legs.


    It was only apt to pay a debt; she had no choice but to plead.


    In the kitchen: Lu Feng had turned on the switch connected to the socket, sending out a burst of sparks. He heard the conversation at the door in his ears, and secretly told himself that this had nothing to do with him anymore, and that he had to go back.


    "Cut the stupid crap!" Li Da Fang shouted at the top of her voice in the hallway, "Come out and take a look, Jiang Xiaoyan owes me money and won''t pay!"


    Each houses¡¯ residents opened their respective doors to see what was going on, and muttered endlessly.


    "This woman really is shameless; she owes someone money and has the guts to not pay it back."


    "You don''t know, but there are more shameless ones."


    "Someone saw her soliciting!"


    "Where did you see her?"


    "Never mind where, it must be true. Her man always eats outside, drinks, goes to prostitutes and gambles; where do you think he gets the money from?"


    "Yes, that''s the only thing being pretty is good for."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was so ashamed that she got up, shut the door, ran to the bed and cried with a headache.


    "Open the door, why are you hiding inside like a turtle? Are you justified in not paying the money you owe?" The sound of Li Da Fang shouting outside the door was followed by a kick in the door.


    "Who on this floor doesn''t know you''ve a watch? If you don''t have money, go sell it! Borrowing money and not paying it back; why are you so thick-skinned?"


    "Open the door!!!"


    "Isn¡¯t it useful to be pretty? You have the guts to find a man to pay back the money you owe?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan hugged her knees and cried bitterly, she didn''t dare to go out and argue. A single word from the other side to pay back the money would render her speechless; she could only suffer in silence. She couldn''t even remember the number of times she had been abused like this over the past few years.


    Lu Feng kept telling himself,


    Don''t be softhearted, you have to go back. You''ve worked hard for ten years for your sess and it''s gone before you can enjoy it


    .


    But Jiang Xiaoyan''s fragile and helpless cries outside the kitchen caused him pain, for he was someone who was afraid of women crying the most. Taking a deep breath, he decided to put his hand into the water basin, if he went back, everything here would have nothing to do with him.


    ¡®Bang Bang!¡¯ The sound of banging on the door continued,


    "Open the door! Pay it back!"


    The loud banging on the door woke Duo Duo straight out of her dreams and she woke up bawling.


    Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly took Duo Duo in her arms and the mother-daughter duo huddled in the corner of the bed as she kept patting Duo''s back and telling her it was okay.


    "Daddy! I''m scared!"


    "Daddy!"


    Duo Duo''s cries were heartbreaking!


    Lu Feng''s hand was just about to touch the electrified water in the basin when he heard Duo Duo''s hissing and fiercely withdrew it, taking a deep breath and saying to himself, "God, you win!"


    "If I don''t let this mother and child have a good life, my name is not Lu Feng!"


    TL NOTE:-


    Things are different on the domestic front. Slowly the threesome is melding into a happy family...then an old enemyes calling.

 Chapter 4 - Brothers are for milking dry

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng rushed out from the kitchen, looked at the mother-daughter pair and eximed, "It''s okay, I''m here!"


    Duo Duo, who was lying in Jiang Xiaoyan''s arms, dropped her head to look at Lu Feng. The little face full of tear marks stopped crying. On the other side of the door: cursing and door-kicking continued.


    Jiang Xiaoyan never thought Lu Feng woulde forward, he was always indifferent to everything that happened at home before. Lu Feng walked towards the door; his back was tall, like a high wall making people feel at ease in Jiang Xiaoyan''s eyes.


    Lu Feng opened the door and Li Da Fang kicked the air. She stood in front of Lu Feng, ring at Lu Feng. She felt a bit guilty after all, Lu Feng''s reputation is not very good; eating, drinking, whoring and gambling everything everyday with a group consisting of two punks.


    "So, you''re at home huh? You are home today, so you have to pay!" Li Da Fang said with ack of confidence.


    "Owe you sixty cents, right?" Lu Feng looked at her face and said, "I have sixty cents here, you give me the thirty cents back right now!"


    Li Da Fang held the money back, a touch of contempt emerged on her face. Thinking in her heart that he was a soft egg, she pulled out the 30 cents from her pocket and handed it to Lu Feng saying, "Bring me the 60 cents!"


    Lu Feng ced the money in his pocket and did not return the money; he just stared at her questioning, "What did you curse just now?"


    "What?"


    "What did you just swear from outside the door?"


    Li Da Fang thought Lu Feng would not dare to do anything to her, so many people were watching. She hesitantly said, "What I called her is self exnatory, what¡¯s wrong with that?"


    Lu Feng''s face sank visibly. Raising his hand, he pped Li Da Fang across the face.


    "Pah!" the sound echoed throughout the hallway.


    This p hit Li Da Fang and she staggered, she almost fell to the ground. The surrounding people were astonished. They did not expect Lu Feng would dare to make a move.


    "You dare to hit me!" Li Da Fang red angrily and rebuked.


    "What''s wrong with hitting you? My wife told you, a monthter she will certainly return your money. This p is to treat your cheap mouth. If you are not convinced, let''s fight!¡± Lu Feng sternly shouted.


    "Old man, someone hit me!" Li Da Fang covered her face and shouted.


    Li Da Fang''s man came out of her house, he was not tall. He only observed Lu Feng. On this floor, everyone knew that Li Da Fang is the master in her family; furthermore, the man does not even dare to fart in her presence.


    "What? Want to make a move with me?" Lu Feng said with a gloomy face, "Yes, tomorrow I will call the brothers from my gang. Let''s stretch our hands and have a lot of fun!"


    The man was shocked to hear this, and hurriedly pulled Li Da Fang¡¯s hand to go home.


    The surrounding people saw this result muttering, and scattered off. Lu Feng turned his head back to his house, looked at the terrified Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "It''s okay, go to sleep."


    When the lights turned off, the house fell in darkness. The moonlight entering the window through the thin curtains cloaked the house in a sense of haze. Lu Fengy on the bed, using his arm as a pillow. This is his first night in the neen ny.


    Across the bed, Jiang Xiaoyan lightly patted Duo Duo, already beginning to fall asleep.


    "You find a job in a few days, and the times will be better." Jiang Xiaoyan said softly.


    Lu Feng does not want to go to work. In this era full of gold, there are opportunities everywhere. With his talent, rising is simply too simple; however, the problem isck of starting capital.


    "You don''t hang out with your buddies. I''m begging you, okay?", pleaded Jiang Xiaoyan.


    Lu Feng nodded and implored, "Go to sleep!"


    For the first time since their few years of marriage, tonight Jiang Xiaoyan slept extraordinarily well. In her dreams, Lu Feng''s heart and soul changed and he went to work every day. The days are very sweet, and the two of them want a child.


    A few hourster, Lu Feng woke up after sunrise; Jiang Xiaoyan had long gone to work. She took Duo Duo along; apparently, in her heart she was still notfortable to leave Duo Duo to him.


    There was a bowl of porridge on the table; Lu Feng swallowed the porridge in big gulps. His heart was chaotic and did not know where to start. Suddenly a knock sounded on the door.


    "Who is it?", Lu Feng asked.


    "Brother Feng, I-Ah, what''s going on with you these days?" A loud prickly voice came from outside the door.


    He opened the door and saw a man in his early twenties, wearing flowing clothes. Lu Feng remembered him as Zhou Jianguo. His family is considered to have a bit of money.


    "Why do you not go out ah? Not even looking for the brothers to y with." Zhou Jianguo walked in casually and asked.


    "My family recently had some things to take care of." Lu Feng looked at him, silently thinking in his head. His group of foxes could be a little useful.


    Zhou Jianguo''s family has three bungalows in the suburbs. Lu Feng sometimes goes there to drink. His other friend, Sun Longbin¡¯s father is the head of a vige. There are four or five second-rate people in his family, but they all make do with it.


    When these people go out to eat and drink, basically Lu Feng pays, getting yed by them as a docile fool.


    "You had no need toe to me, I was going toe to you guys." Lu Feng patted Zhou Jianguo''s shoulder in a very intimate manner and said, "Where are the brothers?"


    Zhou Jianguo always felt that something was wrong with Lu Feng but could not tell what it was. He said, "What are you waiting for, let¡¯s go out: walk around, drink, have a good meal. It''s lively at night!"


    Zhou Jianguo looked at Lu Feng''s back and sneered. He invited him to go out only to let him pay the bill, this kind of fool is notmon. People do not care if Lu Feng has money or not.


    After eating and drinking, turn your head and go. It''s not the first time he has done so.


    Inside the tavern, there were loud voices of people. There were already five to six people sitting on a long table. When the crowd saw the arrival of Lu Feng, they were overjoyed and greeted him, "Brother Feng is here!"


    Lu Feng sat down on the table and swept a nce at the crowd. Without saying anything, he began to order; after three rounds of dishes, he was satiated. Lu Feng lit a cigarette, leaned towards Zhou Jianguo and said "Jianguo, are you my brother?"


    "You are saying it out of the ordinary ah, we are two iron brothers, what is the matter brother? I am all for you." Zhou Jianguo waved his hand boldly.


    "With your words, I am convinced I did not make you a brother in vain. Your suburban houses are empty, right?"


    Zhou Jianguo froze for a moment. Feeling that something was wrong, as he was about to resist; Lu Feng shouted, "Are you my brother!"


    "Yes, brother!"


    "If you''re a brother, lend me those houses for a few days!" Lu Feng reached out and put Zhou Jianguo in his arms, saying intimately "We are brothers; what do you mean by brothers? What is mine is yours; what is yours is mine!"


    The people at the table watched, Zhou Jianguo was too embarrassed to resist, he nodded and replied hesitantly, "No problem."


    He thought,


    they were empty anyway


    .


    He would lend him a house for a few days and take it back; unbeknownst to him, Lu Feng didn¡¯t intend to give it back for a while. .


    Lu Feng looked at the mess on the table and frowned, "I am going to the toilet ah!¡± he ran out eximing.


    After running out, he found a tree, squatted down under its shade and started smoking cigarettes. He waited for them toe out after checking out.


    What Lu Feng wants to try is canning. Now canning is a scarce thing, especially in rural areas. Canned foods are always given out as gifts. As for the raw materials for canning, Sun Longbin¡¯s father is the vige chief. At this time of the year, fruits are ripe in rural areas.


    In the restaurant: Zhou Jianguo, Sun Longbin and a few people were waiting left and right, but Lu Feng did note back. Zhou Jianguo stood up, settled the bill and left the restaurant with others.


    Lu Feng saw theme out, pretended to lift his pants and walked over.


    "You fell in the toilet ah? The checkout person is gone? A total of one dor two spent!" Zhou Jianguo began to report the bill.


    "What kind of talk is this? I have a stomachache; besides, I used to settle the bill, didn''t I?" Lu Feng stared at him and said, "Are you really a brother? You say these kinds of foreign words, you still can¡¯t pay the bill with me for a piece or two, brother I can see it clearly."


    Zhou Jianguo''s face was red and he couldn''t say anything.


    On the side, Sun Longbin hurriedly rounded up his game saying, "We are brothers, it doesn¡¯t matter. Let¡¯s go to the video hall!"


    Lu Feng looked at Sun Longbin thinking in his heart,


    Brothers are for what? Brothers are for milking dry!

 Chapter 5 - All by deception

    Zhou Jianguo felt sullen all the way to the video hall. He never thought he would actually be used by Lu Feng. He promised to let him borrow the houses only to save face and didn''t feel good about it at all, but all he could do now was sulk.


    Near the entrance to the video hall, Lu Feng wrapped his arm around Sun Longbin''s shoulders in an affectionate manner. These people are very simple hearted and had no scheming minds; Lu Feng was an old hand and knew exactly what they liked to hear.


    Less than twenty minutes, and his rtionship with Sun Longbin quickly uplifted. Sun Longbin under the influence of the wine patted his chest and promised, "Brother Feng, it¡¯s worth having you as a driver. If there¡¯s anything you need a brother for, let us know. "


    "Brother Sun, your father is the vige chief, right?"


    "Yes!"


    "Do you have fruit trees in your vige?" Lu Feng looked at him and asked.


    "Yes, there are a lot of fruit trees in our vige, there are many of them all over the hill." Sun Longbin stared at Lu Feng and said, "Brother Feng, what do you mean?"


    "Recently, I¡¯ve wanted to get some fruits!"


    "That¡¯s not a big deal. Whatever you want to eat; tell me my brother, I''ll get you half a sack." Sun Longbin was extraordinarily generous.


    "I need a little more. I will buy; you go back to your father to prepare some for me, whatever fruit you can." Lu Feng did not say anything more and stepped into the video hall.


    The video hall arcade is not only the trendiest thing, but also the first impact of Hong Kong films on the maind market, with the skating rink, is definitely the Ma for couple dates, and also the gathering ce of young people.


    After a few more years DVD and VCD stores will rece all video halls and most game halls. Inte cafes will begin to gain favor of young people, and thenter was the cell phone with the Inte outbreak. Lu Feng previously did a business projection of the 80s and 90s.


    Every time a new technology emerges, it willunch arge number of new billionaires. Behind all this is not only technology iteration, but also fresh talent. Lu Feng wanted to get directly into the ¡®high tech¡¯ industry such as the Video yer and the Walkman, which would explode a few years after; Unfortunately, he is as poor as a church mouse.


    Now he has only one goal, to first get this small workshop of cans set up; Lu Feng''s mind is not on the film; nevertheless, the seductive girls in the dark.


    There is not much money in the countryside now. People use grain to feed their families and sell the excess grain to the local grain station. Even if it is a free venue, Lu Feng intends to borrow the fruit on credit, make it into cans and exchange it for grain from the countryside. If the grain station can¡¯t let him see this to realization, the capital chain will be broken.


    Perennial businessman Lu Feng certainly knows how deadly it is to have too long of a capital return cycle!


    He must convince the local grain station¡¯s station-chief, which would be the fastest way to get the grain. Lu Feng had no desire to watch the movie, so he dropped a nce to his side, only to observe Big Head next to him; he is the most naive one of these people.


    "Brother Feng, what are you looking at me for? I¡¯m just watching the movie!" Big Head was a bit puzzled.


    "Big Heade with me." Lu Feng patted Big Head''s shoulder and stood up to go out.


    They walked to the door of the hall to exit, but the girl who sells tickets stopped them both and said, "You two will have to pay five cents each!"


    "The brother who came with us will settle the bill." Lu Feng pointed his finger at Zhou Jianguo sitting in the front row, who was chatting with two girls in the heat of the day "He pays the bill!"


    After they stepped out of the video hall, Big Head asked, "Brother Feng what is it? When we go back in we will have to spend more money."


    "I know, take me to the Grain Bureau!" Lu Feng said and walked towards Big Head¡¯s rickshaw.


    "To the Grain Bureau, why?" Big Head was unhappy for the fact that he was disturbed from watching the movie. He muttered "You should let brother Zhou or brother Bin take you; they have motorcycles, I still have to pedal it."


    "Cut the crap. Hurry up and go!" Lu Feng sat on the back seat and fell to the ground; the back seat also fell down along with him.


    "My back seat is broken, you sit on the beam!"


    Lu Feng was sitting on the crossbeam, riding the bike with Big Head, and the two men¡¯s postures were a bit ambiguous. Lu Feng saw Big Head when he turned his head, and he hurriedly turned his head again to its original position without looking.


    The reason why Feng only called out Big Head is because he is simple, and will not think much. If Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin came along, he was afraid that the two of them would figure it out.


    Halfway to the bureau, Lu Feng suddenly said, "First let''s head back to my house!"


    Big Head was very frustrated, but he still rode towards Lu Feng¡¯s home. Lu Feng''s first action was to find his wedding suit.


    Putting on leather shoes, finding a bag in the squeaky nest, twirling his hair and looking at his reflection in the mirror, Lu Feng took a deep breath and told himself, "Those who have no money, go out to do things by deception."


    As soon as he went out, he didn''t even take a few steps, and a pretty woman''s voice sounded behind him.


    "Lu Feng what are you doing?"


    Lu Feng turned his head and saw an attractive woman wearing a flowery skirt: about one and a half meters tall, twenty-six or twenty-seven by general appearance, but the body has an indescribable flirty look.


    The woman''s name is He Yanli, who also lives on this floor, is a widow; and although, it is said that a widow''s door is full of rights and wrongs, but her rights and wrongs are extraordinarilyrge.


    "Just doing something, Sister He did not go to the factory ah?" Lu Feng asked politely.


    "Is your name really Sister He? I''m seeing you outside. You were very gorgeousst night. You look like you are going to outdo a big business." He Yanli smiled awkwardly like in a bad dream.


    Lu Feng said a few words politely not wanting to tangle with her much further, a man living on this floor talked to her; consequently, his wife started to fight with him.


    When Lu Feng went downstairs, Big Head was dumbfounded. When he saw Lu Feng''s style, he asked, "Brother Feng, what are you trying to do?"


    "From now on, don''t call me Brother Feng. Call me Master, you know?"


    "Huh? Why?"


    "When there is an audience, someone is listening, or many people around, just do it!"


    Big Head was a little confused but still whined as Lu Feng sat on the beam; finally, they cycled towards the Grain Bureau.


    At the door of the Grain Bureau, Lu Feng adjusted his clothes, confirmed it with Big Head, and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw two people ying table tennis.


    "Who permitted you to y table tennis during work hours?" Lu Feng''s face sank, holding the creaky bag in his one hand, pointing at the two with his other one he shouted, "Call your superior, what is this!¡±


    The yell shocked everyone present; Big Head almost urinated in shock. He stared at Lu Feng with wide eyes thinking,


    Is he crazy?


    The others saw the fully suited man in front of them gave the impression of a superior; consequently, they did not dare say or object to anything he said. They all took their seats in a hurry and the two yers bowed their heads, not daring to speak. Lu Feng asked roughly, "Where is the stationmaster?"


    "The second floor!" they replied in unison.


    Lu Feng walked up to the two yers, gave them a cold look and said, "Never again!"


    He then climbed to the second floor with Big Head and the bag in his hand.


    On the second floor standing in front of the office, Lu Feng nced at Big Head and Big Head hurriedly opened the door and said, "Master please!"


    Stationmaster Wang looked up from the table in his office, where he was working in peace towards the door, seeing a fully suited man entering and someone with casual clothes holding the door open for the man. After getting stunned for a moment from the strange sight, he soon recovered, stood up and asked politely, "Who are you two?"


    Without saying anything, Lu Feng sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at the stationmaster Wang and asked leisurely, "Your name?"


    "My name is Wang, what are you doing?"


    "It''s okay. I just came to talk to you about something, don''t be nervous, sit down!" Lu Feng pointed to the sofa next to him and ordered, as if the office belonged to him.


    Big Head stood at one side. One Big Head standing at the side and two Big Heads seated across each other conversing, described the situation urately. Seeing Lu Feng made him extremely anxious; impulsively, he silently cried out, ¡°What the hell is he doing?¡±


    "Recently, I have been nning to set up a factory. There may be a batch of grain that I want to sell to the grain station. If the head of the station is pleased; it will be easier to do everything; then, I will drop a few words for you with my father."


    Station Master Wang couldn''t figure out the origin of the two people in front of him for a while, but decided against asking for it after looking at Lu Feng''s aura.


    He is


    definitely not like ordinary people


    , he thought and asked, "Who is your father?"


    "My old man has just been transferred here so don''t ask too much, it''s not good for you."


    TL NOTE:-


    Where there is a will there is always a way. For Lu Feng that way is paved with deception.

 Chapter 6 - Windfall

    Editor:Ersted


    Station Master Wang was shocked. He smelled something suspicious and quickly put on a smiling face, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Master Lu, right?"


    "Don''t be so polite, just call me Lu Shao." Lu Feng leaned on the sofa and asked, "This grain station, what kind of food do you receive here?"


    "Corn, mung bean, wheat, you name it!" Station Master Wang looked at Lu Feng and couldn''t understand the truth and said, "What price does Lu Shao want to sell?"


    "Of course, ording to the condition of the market. I started the factory decently, understand? What do you think of my old man?" Lu Feng frowned, very displeased.


    Station Master Wang let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes yes, Lu Shao is right."


    Lu Feng knew that regardless of the smiling face of the current stationmaster Wang, he must be suspicious in his heart. Maybe he would send someone to investigate him after he leaves. He recalled that the Grain Bureau reforms in this era were mainly for the abolition of food stamps. The staff of the bureau had even undergone a major series of transfers.


    Lu Feng cleared his throat and said, "Master Wang, when I see you now, you look likea good person. I will head back and talk to my old man and soon, your position should have changed."


    "What!" The station master replied, confused.


    Station Master Wang reacted enthusiastically. He was overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Lu Shao for your help. If you have anything you want my help with in the future, don¡¯t hesitate to let me know."


    When Lu Feng stood up and was about to leave, Station Master Wang said, "I''ll see you off!"


    "No. I have a driver; you don¡¯t need to go down with me. There are many people around, you understand?"Lu Feng purposely lowered his volume while speaking thest sentence.


    The stationmaster Wang understood, and said a few words to let them know he understood. He hurriedly took out a few notes from his pocket and slipped them into Lu Feng''s hand quietly, using himself in his mind again and again, for doubting them earlier.


    After leaving the Grain Bureau, Big Head was so scared that his back was soaked with sweat. He looked at Lu Feng and said, "Brother Feng, when did we get a car? Not to mention the driver."


    "Aren''t you the driver?"


    "Me?" Big Head said, "I just have a broken rickshaw!"


    "Isn''t the rickshaw a car as well?" Lu Feng turned around and nced at the Grain Bureau, pulled Big Head to the side and whispered, "Leave this ce first, then let¡¯s go to Zhou Jianguo''s suburban houses and take a look."


    Big Head was riding the rickshaw and was very puzzled along the way. The Lu Feng in the Grain Bureau was definitely not the brother Feng he knew. He carefully looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Brother Feng, why was the stationmaster Wang being so polite to you ah? Do you have an identity that I don''t know?"


    Seeing that he was still thinking about it, Lu Feng was a little speechless considering his IQ. He exined his 2020 status as clearly as Big Head could understand, and said, "Now that you¡¯ve discovered it, I have to show my cards. My family is a very rich one, I wished to get along with you in a low-key manner, but didn''t want to be alienated."


    Datou was shocked when he heard this. It was originally just a joke by Lu Feng, but he was convinced that the momentum he showed in the Grain Bureau was definitely not something an ordinary person could have.


    When they arrived in the suburbs, several bungalows were locked. Lu Feng found a brick and smashed the lock open. The insides were very spacious, with more than 200 square meters of space, enough space for his needs.


    Lu Feng looked around, made a simple n in his mind and took out the money stuffed by the Station Master Wang from his pocket. It was ten dors, which was really generous.


    "Big Head, find a small shop, buy some locks and change the old ones for the new ones!"


    Big Head really didn''t understand what Lu Feng was going to do, so he reluctantly asked, "Brother Feng, what are you going to do?"


    "I want to start from this small bungalow and build a huge business empire!" Lu Feng''s voice was extraordinarily bold. Now he is standing in the golden time of history, where even pigs can fly; not to mention him as an elite. .


    Big Head has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, he can¡¯t understand much. He just knew he had to do what Lu Feng ordered him to. He thought that it seemed Lu Feng had changed, and he now has an indescribable charm that makes him obey.


    When Zhou Jianguo and his party came out of the video room, it was hard to see the few good points. The money spent in the video room was from him.


    I wanted to cheat Lu Feng, but after a day''s eating, drinking and fun, I just ended up treating myself.


    "Brother Feng is not righteous!" Binziined.


    "Leaving before checking out, this kind of brother? Let''s forget it!"


    "The most important thing is that he took Big Head away, damn it!" Zhou Jianguo cursed. He was ying the two fools till now, but today he was fooled by the two fools.


    "Where did you say the two went?" Sun Longbin muttered. He didn''t know why, but he felt that Lu Feng had suddenly changed his personality. When he saw him today, his eyes were cunning.


    "Damn!" Zhou Jianguo shouted, pping his thigh, "Let¡¯s go to my suburban houses and take a look, hurry up!"


    Everyone rode on their motorcycles and hurried away.


    The setting sun, evening breeze, and the people walking home were particrlyfortable. Lu Feng held the key in his hand to face the sunset and walked home. When passing by the supply and marketing agency, he stepped in and bought toys for Duo Duo and some food.


    When Zhou Jianguo and everyone arrived, Datou had just put on a new lock and Zhou Jianguo shouted at this, "Big Head, what the hell are you doing!"


    "Changing the lock!"


    "This is my house, why would you change the lock?" Zhou Jianguo cursed and got off the motorcycle.


    "Aren''t you leasing it to brother Feng? He asked me to change the lock!"


    Zhou Jianguo stepped forward and took a look, and asked, "Where is the key? Open it for me!"


    "Brother Feng took it, let me lock the door." The Big Head said straightforwardly.


    "I don''t care about that, what''s the matter?" Zhou Jianguo sneered disdainfully, because he didn''t say anything on the wine table, he was going to tear his face now.


    "Brother Feng will be angry, and the consequences will be serious!"


    As soon as the Big Head finished saying this, everyoneughed. To put it bluntly, he called him and Brother Feng when he spent his money on eating, drinking, and having fun. In the eyes of these people, Lu Feng didn''t amount to much.


    "Ouch, I''m scared to death. Is your Brother Feng going to kill me? Open the lock for Lao Tzu!"


    Looking at them, he said anxiously, "You don''t know Brother Feng, I only found out today. People go sideways when they enter the Grain Bureau."


    Datou told them what happened that day, Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin looked shocked. If others told them these things, they would never believe them.


    But if they are big heads, they believe it because they are big-headed, they won''t lie!


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin looked at each other, and the two were deeply shocked. Recalling that from the first day they met Lu Feng, he hadn''t been to work but when he came out to spend, he basically settled the bill.


    And he is so generous andvish, both of them felt painful!


    Now everything is exined. Someone is not ordinary with such a character, how many people want to tter them but do not agree with them? The two offended someone like that for one or two dors.


    Zhou Jianguo suddenlyughed and patted Big Head on the shoulder and said, "I was joking with you, brother Feng is my elder brother in heart. I want him to use these rooms for as long as he wants."


    Even Lu Feng himself would not have thought that the original Lu Feng''s debauchery unexpectedly helped him so much!


    Lu Feng was carrying the things he bought: big bags and small bags, and ran into He Yanli near the staircase on the ground floor. She looked at the things in Lu Feng''s hand. These things were rtively cheap individually, but were not cheapbined, and most people wouldn''t dare to buy them like this.


    "Oh Lu Feng, have you made a fortune? Don''t forget your sister when you get rich," He Yanli said jokingly.

 Chapter 7 - A lot of questions

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng exchanged a few words with He Yanli and went upstairs. He did not want much contact with people like He Yanli, thinking,


    Such women are greedy for petty and cheap gains. As long as it is to their advantage, they will stick close


    .


    There are five floors in the unit building, and each floor has dozens of households where everyone knows each other¡¯s secret; consequently, the whole floor knows about Lu Feng pping Li Da Fangst night and without a doubt, they are all talking about it.


    Li Da Fang is notorious for being a bully in the unit building; moreover, she is not any less annoying on weekdays, making many residents secretly suffer.


    In her room, Li Da Fang was sulking with a cold face. She didn''t go out for the whole day.


    "Has that kid Lu Feng made a fortune? He bought a lot of things and wore a suit, and when he squeezed a bag in his pocket, he made it look exceedingly stylish!" Li Da Fang man muttered.


    "He can''t even afford to eat anymore; he''s still pretending to be rich? I''m not finished with him." Li Da Fang''s expression turned dark and solemnly said, "I''m going to find my cousin, so he can never eat again."


    Lu Feng opened the door and found that Jiang Xiaoyan had returned, sitting there a little dazed, Duo Duo was ying beside her. When she saw Lu Fenging back carrying something, she rushed over, and hugged Lu Feng''s calf.


    "Guess what I bought for you?" Lu Feng knelt down and said.


    The little child''s big eyes were full of excitement. Searching in several bags, Lu Feng took out a little doll and handed it to her!


    Duo Duo grabbed the doll, kissed Lu Feng''s cheek fiercely and said excitedly, "Thank you Poppy!"


    Lu Feng stretched out his hand and touched the saliva on his cheek, with an unspeakable feeling of delight in his heart. He stood up and looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, only to find she was looking glum again.


    "What''s the matter?" Lu Feng put the filled bags on the table and asked, "I didn''t hit you again, why this expression?"


    "Where did you get the money to buy so many things?" Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head and asked.


    "..." Lu Feng didn''t know how or what to tell her.


    "You are mixing with your gang of buddies again, right?" Jiang Xiaoyan''s eyes instantly turned bleak, as if losing all the colors and full of disappointment.


    "No!" Lu Feng replied.


    "Then what did you do today? I asked you to find a job. Did you find one? I told the director of the factory today our situation and she found you an unloading job. When I came back, I found you were gone."


    As Jiang Xiaoyan talked, tears streamed down her face. In order to find a job for Lu Feng, she was stubborn and obsessed. If it was not for the fact that the director is a woman, rumors in the factory would surely have been overwhelming.


    After the director finally agreed after a lot of pleading, she ran back to find Lu Feng but he was gone.


    Lu Feng looked at her, genuinely speechless. He remembered the saying ¡®women are made of water¡¯; he believed it now. He stepped forward and wiped her tears and eximed, "I was wrong!"


    "Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyan had never earnestly thought about it. She coaxed herself subconsciously and asked "What is wrong?"


    After she said that, she felt that she had been spoiled by him for the past two days and had developed a temper. She chuckled and asked, "If you weren''t with your brothers, where did you go?"


    "I went to look for a job, picked up ten dors on the way and got the job."


    "Really? What kind of job?"


    "Uh, it''s a job in a small processing factory, doing a number of things and it pays tens of dors a month!" Lu Feng bluffed. He knew that if Jiang Xiaoyan knew that he was mixed with Zhou Jianguo, she would definitely think he was the same as before, so he decided to lie.


    Jiang Xiaoyan was happy, looking at therge amount of vegetables and meat. She stood up and tidied them up, stretched out her hand towards Lu Feng and hooked her finger.


    "What are you doing?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled.


    "Money, or have all the ten dors been spent?"


    Lu Fengughed dumbly, took out the remaining seven dors from his pocket and ced it in her hand.


    "It took so much?" Jiang Xiaoyan felt distressed and counted the money. "I will pay Li Da Fang''s money first. You were impulsivest night, why did you p her? Don''t you know who her cousin is? Come with me and apologize to her."


    "No, you can pay her moneyter. Now, let''s cook!" Lu Feng said earnestly.


    Jiang Xiaoyan felt that it was a man''s ego at y and didn''t press it; instead, she went to cook.


    There was a burst of aroma in the kitchen and Duo Duo was busy ying with the new doll. The house was full of unutterable warmth, but Lu Feng was thinking about the canning workshop.


    The grain station and the fruits are no problem. Next, a semi-automatic packaging machine is needed, and the canned bottles are also costly; however, the most important thing is the fruit season.


    As soon as the fruits pass the ripening season, Lu Feng will have no supply and the workshop of his will have to be suspended. He only has a few months to obtain these resources.


    "It¡¯s difficult with empty pockets!"


    "Where can I borrow a semi-automatic packaging machine? The ss factory is not easy to fool, but the workers can be told that the sry is higher and it will be settled next month, which can buy me a month''s worth of time."


    Lu Feng patted his head with his hand, feeling his head is even bigger than Datou¡¯s.


    In this situation, he is definitely starting from scratch: not only are his hands empty, he is also thick-skinned!


    The food was brought to the dinner table. Jiang Xiaoyan took off her apron and invited Duo Duo to the table, "Duo Duo have dinner now, and you can y with the dollter!"


    The family of three was eating peacefully, when Duo Duo suddenly raised her head and asked, "Mom, why don''t you sleep with Dad?"


    "Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyan could not respond to the embarrassing statement that hit her out of nowhere.


    "You kid, where are you hearing these things?" Jiang Xiaoyan''s face was flushed as she asked.


    "Han Xiaoqiang told me that his mother and father always sleep together, and they are under the nket many times!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s face blushed like a monkey''s bum; pping her hands together a few times she said shyly, "What is this nonsense that kid is talking to you about? Don''t talk nonsense to Han Xiaoqiang, he is a boy and you are a girl, you hear?"


    "But he said many parents that don''t sleep together all get divorced in the end, so I want you two to sleep together." Duo Duo''s big eyes were filled with longing.


    It could be seen how she cherished her family in these two days.


    "What does that kid know? Eat!" Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly covered the topic.


    Lu Feng smiled and said, "Then go to bed early tonight, maybe it will happen."


    "She''s a child! Don''t you fall for that nonsense as well!" Jiang Xiaoyan red at Lu Feng, her face was intensely red, and the little woman showed her especially coquettish attitude.


    Lu Feng has seen many beautiful women with all kinds of amazing eyes and charms but he has never seen a woman like Jiang Xiaoyan, with a special charm that doesn''t need ttering.


    "Why are you staring at me?" Jiang Xiaoyan gave him an angry look. Not mustering the courage to look again, she lowered her head to eat.


    It waste at night, Duo Duo fell asleep holding her doll and Lu Feng was confused while lying on his single bed. Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the man on the opposite bed in the moonlight shining from outside the window, and her heart was troubled.


    The two have been married for four years yet they have never slept with each other even once; however, no one believes it to be true.


    Lu Feng turned sideways and whispered in Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s direction, "Are you asleep?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan distracted herself by looking at the sleeping child in her arms as her heartbeat spiked up instantaneously and a blush appeared on her pretty face!


    TL NOTE :-


    Lu Feng¡¯s business ns keep unfolding but at the home front there are many...questions.

 Chapter 8 - Semi-automatic sealing machine

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s heart is in chaos as she looks at Lu Feng. The past two days were like a dream, she has smiled more in these past two days than in her entire married life.


    How about doing it with him?


    The two of them have been married for four years; it was enough time to make peopleugh, if they heard the couple never slept together.


    "I dozed-off," Jiang Xiaoyan slowly lifted the quilt, getting ready to climb into Lu Feng''s bed.


    "You should go to bed early, you have to get up early for work tomorrow.", said Lu Feng said turning his back towards his wife and nodding off.


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s movement froze in mid-air, and sheid down on her bed again. Her heart was troubled; wondering,


    Am I not as beautiful as I was back then? Or has he seen flowers of


    outside world that much in the past four years and that I can¡¯t even bepared to them?


    The next morning, Wang received a notification. The grain bureau was transformed, Wang still manages the grain station but has been promoted; it made him ecstatic, and he attributed everything to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng woke up at nine o''clock in the morning. A bowl of porridge and a steamed bun was waiting for him on the table. He sat at the table and started eating, sighing and muttering in intervals, "Semi-automatic encapstion line and ss bottle manufacturing nt, where can I get it?"


    With such a predicament in front of him, even a sophisticated liar like him can do nothing but be helpless. Lu Feng does not have the capital to obtain even the crucial resources for packaging. All he has is a wedding suit and a torn bag, the rest depends on his acting.


    There was a knock on the door, and Lu Feng asked breathlessly, "Who is it?"


    "Brother Feng are you awake? It''s me Jianguo, please open the door."


    Soon Lu Feng opened the door to find out that outside the door was not only Zhou Jianguo, but also Sun Longbin, Biaozi and Big Head, at seven in the morning squatting at the door.


    Lu Feng opened the door and Zhou Jianguo''s face bloomed into a smile, he bowed to his waist like a eunuch, "Good morning brother Feng, we are here to apologize; yesterday my brothers drank too much, please forgive them.¡±


    "Yes, brother Feng, please don¡¯t take it to heart. You will always be my best friend, just like a brother." Sun Longbin also rushed to speak.


    Everybody talked like different people; it was like they had all changed overnight. They opened and shut their mouths with extra admiration, making Lu Feng wonder, "What is wrong with you guys?"


    Big head straightforwardly said "Brother Feng, when I told them about us going to the grain bureau yesterday, they dragged me here."


    Lu Feng froze for a moment, frantically thinking about the rtionship between the two happenings for a full seven to eight seconds, he figured it out. Laughing, he replied, "Brother Zhou, you believe Big Head''s words ah? No matter what you do, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense."


    If Lu Feng had open-handedly admitted it, Zhou Jianguo would have had to really think about the truth, but now he is in a strong denial and reluctant to taking advantage of it.


    "Whether true or false, you are my brother. Yesterday the brothers did not do right, we havee here to make amends."


    Big Head on the side said, "Brother Feng, your wife had a fight with us this morning and told us to stay away from you."


    Lu Feng sighed, sat on a bench nearby and said, "My wife does have a problem with you, that is the reason I''ve quarreled several times with you concerninging to my house. The less you contact me here, the better."


    "You are my brother and I, Zhou Jianguo want peace among us. I got quietly scolded this morning and did not retaliate. Feng, you are my brother and I have made up my mind that no matter what the problems maybe, I will help you every time you need me." Zhou Jianguo patted his chest sharply.


    Lu Feng knew Zhou Jianguo is from a ten-thousand-dor household and is considered rich; therefore, he must have a lot of rtions and connections. Lu Feng pondered for a while and said, "There has indeed been a matter recently. I eat, drink and y every day, but my old man is not happy, so I have to prove myself to him; achieve something. I am ready to set-up a cannery, but I am stillcking a semi-automatic sealing assembly machine.¡±


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin nced at each other, thinking frantically. A few secondster, Zhou Jianguo suddenly pped his thigh and eximed, "I know where you can get an old one!"


    Lu Feng got really excited and hurriedly calmed himself, barely managing to maintain his image; he is now the son of a big shot. He nodded and replied, "I''ll change my clothes and let us go and check it out."


    Lu Feng changed clothes, got ready and came out the door. As he went out, he ran into Li Da Fang. They nced at each other and passed without saying a word. Li Da Fang red at Lu Feng¡¯s back of and grunted coldly, "Still mixing up with these idle ruffians, wait for it and I will make sure you suffer."


    Today Big Head did not bring his rickshaw and everyone was riding motorcycles, further implying that everyone was trying to impress Lu Feng. Soon, they arrived at arge courtyard in the suburbs. Zhou Jianguo entered the courtyard and shouted, "Uncle Liu are you there?"


    From a house, a man in his forties walked out and walked up to Zhou Jianguo, taking a nce at the group, and exchanged pleasantries.


    Sun Longbin gently nced at Lu Feng, this morning all had let only Zhou Jianguo to perform, and Lu Feng did not even say a word. He quietly leaned to one side and asked, "Brother Feng, do you need the fruits for opening the cannery ah?¡±


    "Yeah, didn''t I tell you that day?"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll inform my dad when I get back. He can keep the fruits in the vige for you, and as long as you need them, the fruits of the whole vige will be all yours." Sun Longbin assured curtly.


    Lu Feng nodded and did not say further.


    Zhou Jianguo came over with Liu and introduced him, "This is my brother Lu Feng, he is interested in that semi-automatic sealing machine of yours."


    Liu politely said, "Come on, let''s see the machine; It''s been there for years."


    The crowd went to arge room with numerous misceneous items and a four-meter-long semi-automatic sealing machine full of dust and spider webs. From what they could see, it still looked in very good condition.


    Liu then summarized the working of the machine, ¡°This packaging machine fills and seals. It can fill more than 200 bottles an hour, speed is not a problem.¡±


    Everyone then cleaned the machine with rags and started it; there were no problems at all. Uncle Liu then pped his hands and said, "How about it? Honestly, if you want it, five thousand dors. Leaving it here is not of much use to me."


    Five thousand!?


    Half worth of your whole household!,


    were the thoughts of Lu Feng


    Lu Feng nodded without moving his head, took out a pack of Badaling cigarettes from his pocket and with a wave shared it with the crowd. He lit one and proposed, "How about this, you pull the machine over for me. I will use it, and when I have money in hand, I will give you six thousand. To me, a thousand or two is no problem."


    Liu was shocked and thought,


    A thousand or two thousand is small money?


    Uncle Liu was amused by the words that even ten thousand dors households like theirs would not dare to say so. Thinking,


    He came to y the game of empty glove? Simply amusing


    he said, "Impossible, this is an imported machine. If you want to buy a new one, you have to use foreign exchange, you understand?"


    Zhou Jianguo saw Lu Feng frown and hastily pulled his uncle aside. He whispered, "Uncle Liu, ording to what I said earlier, just lend it to him. A couple of thousand dor for some people is really not a problem."


    "Are you kidding me? He is rich yet he came here to y poor?"


    "He is now met with difficulties. I told you the machine will be in my suburban house, You can go see it anytime. The most important thing is, have you not noticed the difference in his temperament frommon folk?"


    Uncle Liu dropped his head and examined Lu Feng. The suit ironed and the figure dignified and handsome. The aura around the body revealed that he was not an ordinary person at a nce.


    "What do you mean? He has someone up there?" asked Liu.


    "It¡¯s not that he has someone up there, it¡¯s that the person is his father. Even the grain bureau had to give him respect, understand?" Zhou Jianguo said and winked.


    Uncle Liu immediately understood, he patted Zhou Jianguo¡¯s shoulder firmly with his hand and whispered "These kind of people have climbed up a lot, your boy has a great future!"

 Chapter 9 - Li Da Fangs Revenge

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    The suburban house belonged to Zhou Jianguo and with the machine ced there, Uncle Liu was relieved for Lu Feng to use it in exchange for a favor. It was a brilliant deal.


    Uncle Liu turned his head towards Lu Feng and said politely, "Since you are a good friend of Jianguo, I¡¯ll give you face; like I do to my friends."


    Lu Feng was undoubtedly excited, the matter of the machine was settled, but his face remained impassive. He nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle Liu. In the future, if you have any problem in which I can help, please remember to call me for help. Can the machine be brought over today?"


    Zhou Jianguo had been exceedingly helpful and in such a big personal favor; he would be remembered. Sun Longbin had not gotten anything done, afraid of being marginalized, he hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, I''ll find a car and hire a few people to pull it over!"


    Lu Feng patted Sun Longbin''s shoulder and praised him for being a good brother, making Sun Longbin''s face burst into smiles!


    "Everyone, don''t stand around in the courtyard;e inside, have a drink and take a look around." Uncle Liu said politely.


    The crowd went into the house, Uncle Liu was old and had a lot of experience; although, he was chatting about the day, he was side-tracking and prying into Lu Feng''s background.


    If it was an everyday person, he/she would likely have been taken in by Liu¡¯s words, but Lu Feng cleverly avoided them and if the other side pressed him, he yed mysterious and told him coldly that it was for his own good to not ask any more questions than he should.


    At noon, he had a meal with some wine at Uncle Liu''s house. Uncle Liu thought that for him, an old journeyman, to face a brat like Lu Feng would be a piece of cake.


    Liu still did not know anything about him, but Lu Feng only asionally revealed a little bit so as to avoid suspicion. It was precisely for this reason that he felt that Lu Feng was not an ordinary individual, he was a person who had seen the world.


    Whether he got faced with verbal condescension or cleverly pressed questions, he was able to cope with them effortlessly, even after drinking; he could still think carefully. He was certainly not a child of a regr family.


    After parting with Lu Feng and the others, Uncle Liu watched them leave from his house and said to himself, "Conferring tomonsense, they shouldn¡¯t be liars right?"


    The machine issue being wlessly solved, Lu Feng stood in the suburbs near his newly rented house, observing the big house in front of the road. Heart surging, he secretly thought to himself,


    set yourself a small goal. First be a ten-thousand-dor household!


    Lu Feng turned his head and looked at Sun Longbin and said, "Brother Bin, if you go back tonight, just tell your dad that I would like pears, apricots and peaches. Please prepare a few cars for me as well for transportation, I will pay a price that is a little higher than the market price. I will open this week and need them immediately. Brother, I don¡¯t have money now but I really want to do something to show my father. When the timees, I will invite my brothers to eat, drink and have fun every day."


    "Brother Feng, just call me Binzi, it''s too much. We''re all brothers, it''s not a problem; just charge the market price. When you want it, I''ll have my dad send it personally." Sun Longbin''s words were full of sincerity.


    "Brother Feng you mustn''t feel out of ce!"


    "Yes! We''re all brothers, we are family!" Simr phases echoed all over the group.


    Lu Feng looked at the crowd with gratitude on his face, sped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "Knowing you brothers is genuinely the greatest reward in my life. Brothers, I promise you that my family''s old man has put down his roots here and one day, he will definitely let us soar."


    That was what the crowd was waiting for, they were all so excited!


    In the evening, Lu Feng had the rental house pretty much nned out and got a few stoves so that he could cook the cans, now all that was left was the canning jars.


    "Is young Lu here?" A voice came from the doorway.


    The crowd turned their heads to see Station Master Wang standing at the door, making Lu Feng ask, "Station Master Wang? What brings you here?"


    "I''vee to thank you. Yesterday you said the factory was located in the suburbs, so I came all the way here." Station Master Wang stood there, clutching his briefcase and whispered, "Young Lu,e here for a moment."


    Lu Feng walked forward and asked, "What is it?"


    "This is a small token for you to ept. If there is anything you need in the future, I¡¯m always ready for you to give me an order.", Wang said, shoving a few notes into Lu Feng''s pocket.


    Not far away, Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin''s group of people watched this scene with wide eyes. They had heard Big Head say it, but seeing is believing; even for someone like Station Master Wang, who doesn''t have to tter people and genuinely believed Lu Feng after his promotion.


    ¡°What kind of money are you talking about?¡± Lu Feng wondered in his heart and frowned.


    "Buy some nutrition for your old man. At today''s meeting, I got a little promotion. I am still in charge of the grain station. I''ll wait outside the door and not disturb you." Wang the station chief was very sensible and went out.


    Lu Feng also did not look at how much money he was given. He coughed and the crowd hurriedly pretended that nothing happened.


    "That''s all for today, let''s all go back now. Thank you, brothers. Big Head, you lock the door."


    "Brother Feng, I''ll take you back!" Zhou Jianguo spoke up.


    "No need, I''ll take you!" Eximed the station-master.


    Wang, who was waiting outside the door, pointed to the Santana1 not far away. He hade today with the sole purpose to tter Lu Feng; he couldn''t give such an opportunity to Zhou Jianguo.


    It was an exceptionally hot day. Even though the sun had set, the air was still filled with scorching heat, and a group of people near Lu Feng¡¯s house were hiding in the cool shadows, muttering about the recent events in the building.


    A Fulcrum2 pulled over downstairs the unit building and a man walked out of it: in his thirties, wearing sunsses and with a cigarette in his mouth, giving him a sense of style.


    Nowadays, if you can afford to drive a car, you are definitely a rich person, or you have a car allocated by the government.


    "Whose family is this? It''s a car!"


    "I don''t know, I''ve never seen it!"


    "Fourth floor¡¯s Li Da Fang''s family''s car, you don''t know?"


    "Does Li Da Fang have rtives like this?"


    ¡°Li Da Fang''s cousin is very influential. Do you think you can be this prosperous? He is prosperous, he fought with Li San a few years ago and Li San was arrested the same day."


    "This time Lu Feng is finished, do you really think that just because you know a few gangsters, you can walk around with that arrogance?" were the murmurs and talks throughout the unit building.


    Nowadays, not every family can afford a television set, and entertainment is scarce, so viewing neighborhood ruckuses is the most significant mode of entertainment.


    In a short while, more than 20 people gathered, chattering non-stop. He Yanli stood in the crowd, looking at the car with envy.


    Li Da Fang came down, full of arrogance, leaned against the car and said, "Wait here, I''ll make him swallow his own words today, dared to p me; does he really think there is no one in the Li family?"


    He Yanli took a step forward, assessed the car and looking at Li Da Fang''s cousin, asked, "How much is this car?"


    Li Da Fang gave her a mean look and said sarcastically, "Go to the dead. He doesn''t talk to widows, it''s bad luck.


    He Yanli''s face turned purple with anger, grunting ceaselessly, she retreated back into the crowd. Now everyone was waiting for Lu Feng to return. Watching the good show, Li Da Fang let out the word that Lu Feng''s p would be paid back ten times.


    Near the new factory:


    Lu Feng sat in the car and Wang drove him to an intersection when He pointed his finger to the road in front of him and said, "Turn in and that''s it. Station Master Wang you can park here, there''s no need to continue any further."


    "How can that do? If young Lu is willing, I will be your full-time driver from now on."

 Chapter 10 - Li Yi

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Wang¡¯s car drove the rest of the way and stopped downstairs. Lu Feng saw arge gathering of people and a car parked there. He started wondering why it was so lively today.


    Usually seeing a car downstairs is a rare thing and today there were actually two cars; In the passenger seat of one being Lu Feng. For a while, people couldn''t figure out what was going on.


    Li Da Fang saw Lu Feng came back in a car and was slightly stunned, "From where did you rob a car?"


    "Don''t worry Sister, it''s okay!" Li Yi said confidently. It is a piece of cake for him to settle this kind of mess, hiswork is very strong and he mainly acts as a broker for some businessmen. All he needs is a face.


    Lu Feng got out of the car with his eyes scanning the crowd. He opened his mouth and asked "What''s going on here?"


    "Lu Feng hurry up! You returnedte."


    "That''s right, hurry up!"


    "You''ve gotten into trouble."


    A few aunts who usually have a good rtionship with Jiang Xiaoyan said in whispers, but most individuals were only watching.


    Li Yi walked forward, looked at Lu Feng and asked, "Your name is Lu Feng, right?"


    Lu Feng looked at him and nodded, "Yes, what''s the matter?"


    "What else? You think you can just p me and be done with it?" Li Da Fang rushed directly in front of Lu Feng; her whole personality fierce. She shouted, "I¡¯ll tell you! You are in trouble."


    Li Yi lit a cigarette and said, "Say brother, how do you say we do this? I¡¯ll give you a few options: First, let my sister p you ten times. Second, you go inside the building and squat, and I will be deciding when you get up. Third, we do it ording to the norm and I destroy you."


    Li Yi''s voice was a little low, but the words that came out were extraordinarily bold, making the audience frightened and gave a feeling that Lu Feng is finished.


    "Lu Feng, aren''t you usually more powerful at the weekends? Didn''t you say Li Yi¡¯s a bastard?"


    "That''s right! Now you dare not even fart, call your brothers ah!" were the echoes from the crowd.


    "I''m afraid they are only booze brothers, he can''t call them."


    "Hahahahahahaha!"


    The sound of ridicule was persistent, as if the usual dissatisfaction with Lu Feng was all revealed now under the might of Li Yi.


    "And that cousin wife of yours!" Li Da Fang shouted arrogantly.


    Lu Feng''s face sank. Looking at Li Yi, he said, "Li Da Fang, what did you just say?"


    "Say what? I said your cousin wife. What''s wrong?" Li Da Fang held her head high, very arrogant, daring Lu Feng to touch her. Li Yi is lending her some guts; Li Da Fang''s face is full of contempt.


    Lu Feng looked at her, frowning and fiercely raising his hand he pped her in the face.


    CLAP!


    This p stunned everyone, including Li Yi.


    Li Da Fang only felt a hot pain on her cheek, her head was buzzing. Li Yi reacted; his face became hideous. How dare he hit his sister in front of him?


    Does the other party not want to live?


    Was what was on everyone¡¯s mind but no one dared speak.


    "Damn!" Li Yi yelled, about to make a move and shouted "I am going to kill you today, I am telling you I will kill you. You are done!"


    People around panicked and moved back. They were afraid to get into trouble. Many people secretly eximed, ¡°Lu Feng ispletely finished today, he dared to provoke Li Yi. This would not end well


    .¡±


    "Kill him!" Li Da Fang covered her face with her hands and shouted.


    Station Chief Wang was sitting in the car, originally thinking it was a neighborhood affair.


    As Li Da Fang shouted, Wang immediately became aware of the seriousness of the situation.


    In this matter, he couldn''t afford to let young Lu to be injured. He hurriedly got out of the car and shouted, ¡°Stop it!"


    Li Yi stopped moving, not because of the loud voice of the Station Chief, but because he can drive a Volkswagen Santana. He cannot afford to provoke him. If it is his own car, then in the businessmunity, he definitely would be number one; if he is the driver, it''s even worse.


    "You tried to touch him?" Station Chief Wang came forward. He was wearing full suit with a white shirt, a folder bag under his armpit with his dependable big back in front of Lu Feng; he was very imposing. He stared at Li Yi in the eyes and said, "If you even touch today, I will make sure that you cannot eat and walk around for the rest of your life."


    Li Yi faced Station Chief Wang, but he was not as full of momentum as he was before. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you? Being nosy here. Have you not gone out and heard Li Yi''s name?"


    Li Yi?


    This man is indeed a bit renowned, often mixed with a variety of banquets. To put it bluntly, he is a matchmaker of goods. Not a high-end dinner fixer.


    Station Chief Wang thought and smiled slightly.


    "It''s formon folk, right?" Wang station chief sneered, "You widen your dog eyes to see who I am."


    Li Yi looked carefully, his heart thumping, and asked carefully, "Grain Bureau?"


    Wang nodded.


    Li Yi panicked; he hastily put on a smile, walked up to him and whispered, "Station Chief Wang, right? Look at this thing done. The water flooded the Dragon King Temple1; are we no longer family? why are you and Lu Feng mixed up with this?"


    "Young master Lu is what you should say." Wang station chief frowned.


    "Young Master Lu?" Li Yi was dumbfounded, to be called so by The Station Chief, how high must Lu Feng''s status be? He did not dare imagine.


    "Do not ask more questions, knowing too much is not good for you. It''s not something a small man like you should pry on, understand?" Wang station chief said in a deep voice, "Go apologize to Lu."


    Li Yi was scared enough, heartbeat elerated, throat a little dry, he took a few deep breaths and walked over to Lu Feng.


    Seeing this, Li Da Fang thought her brother was going to take revenge on him and shouted, "Smack him hard for me!"


    "You shut up!" Li Yi suddenly turned around and scolded his sister. At this time not only Li Da Fang, but even the surrounding crowd were unable to react, wondering how he suddenly lost his temper at his sister.


    Then the next scene that challenged the nerves of the crowd happened.


    Li Yi went to Lu Feng with a humble smile, slightly bowed his upper-body and apologized, "Sorry, my sister did not go to school. She does not know what to do. Please kindly bear with me, do not take it to heart."


    Everyone was shocked watching Li Yi ¡®s transformation. His face looked defeated as he faced Wang, it was certainly kicked to the iron te.


    As He Yanli witnessed everything in front of her, there is only one thought left in her head, Lu Feng has be rich.


    "All right, not to bother with you!" Sneered Wang.


    "How about I invite you to dinner sometime?" Li Yi advanced an inch and spoke.


    Lu Feng gave him a cold look, turned his head towards Wang and ordered him to let him go. He then hurried upstairs.


    Li Da Fang walked up and med her brother, "What are you doing? I asked you to help me whip him, but I got another p instead!"


    "Sister, from now on you stay away from him. This is not someone we can afford to mess with, understand?"


    Li Da Fang''s brain buzzed. She could not understand how even her own brother is afraid to move.


    He Yanli hurried through the crowd, followed Lu Feng and walked up the stairs. She reached out to him and adjusted the clothes at her chest, organized her hair and walked a few steps to catch up and said, "Lu Feng, this sister wants to talk to you about something."


    EDITOR NOTE :-


    1 In Chinese culture, the dragon is one of the most important and powerful creatures. Although in Western cultures, dragons are usually associated with evilness or maliciousness, in Chinese culture, a dragon is known as a benevolent and intelligent creature. The people would go to the dragon god''s temple so that the dragon would stop floods from happening. So, going to his actual temple and flooding it with water would actually damage the temple, therefore hurting the dragon.


    The moral of this proverb is that sometimes even good people who are in control of things can get hurt. Even those who are kind and helpful to others may get burned by those they trusted

 Chapter 11 - Water Leakage

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng stopped, turned around condescending, only to see a diverse kind of scenery from above. He hurriedly looked away and asked, "W-What''s the matter?"


    He Yanli felt him getting embarrassed, and she was secretly proud. After all, she was a few years older than Jiang Xiaoyan and she was more charming. She deliberately stood up and said, "The rtionship between our families is very close. When you have time, let¡¯s have a meal together. Come to my apartment and let me serve some good food."


    "That is not necessary. Xiaoyan is very busy; she leaves early and returnste, so she does not have much free time."


    "She''s not free but you are, I have half a bottle of Laobaigan left, want some?" He Yanli blinked her eyes seductively, as if they could talk.


    If it was an ordinary person she was talking to, he definitely would not be able to resist her, but Lu Feng has seen simr scenarios before; he smiled and said, "Sister He, how many years has it been since you have been widowed?"


    "Only Two or three years!" He Yanli said, raising her eyebrows.


    "I think it''s time you find apanion and live your life well. Life should be amon struggle. Life shouldn¡¯t be just leaning on whoever has more power. People in power won''t get anything in the end." Lu Feng finished speaking and went upstairs.


    "Why are you being so snobbish with your words?" He Yanli''s expression was unpleasant to the extreme, she reached out and pulled her blouse back up, covering her exposed cleavage and muttered, "I don''t believe it anymore. Are there any men who don''t want to eat meat?"


    Lu Feng returned home and sat on his bed, thinking to himself that he must stabilize his financial condition before his lies get punctured. These people are now pleased with themselves and once they have given enough, they will expect something back in return.


    When the timees, the imaginary old man behind Lu Feng, or something with someone on it, is self-defeating. He must earn the first pot of gold as soon as possible to make himself stand firm.


    In rural areas, the price of a can is 30 cents. If it is exchanged for grain from the farmers there, it would allow him to make profit by selling grain to the bureau for high prices. Corn, that is now seven cents a catty in retail, can be bought by the Grain Bureau for more than 8 cents a catty!


    The main cost of canning food is: sharin, fruits, water,bor, electricity and canned bottles. All of which when added up, makes the cost only eight to nine percent of the 30 cents!


    "If you count the difference in cost price of the cans and the selling price the grain will be sold to the bureau, the profit margin is a whopping 345%!" Lu Feng was stunned after calcting the profit.


    Profitable!


    The current rural area is still a small peasant economy and self-sufficient. The demand for clothes, shoes and industrial food is extremelyrge. Road traffic is inconvenient, resulting in semi-istion from the city and making the local market unprecedentedly strong.


    Lu Feng finally understood why during the 2008 global financial crisis, selling home appliances and automobiles in the countryside could have saved the domestic economy.


    "Now just get the canned bottles and then, wait to make a fortune!"


    Lu Feng was a little excited, but gloomier. The ssware factory is not easy to cheat!


    "It''s not good or easy to cheat, but you must cheat!"


    When Lu Feng finished talking to himself, heughed out loud. When others are reborn in novels, they be arrogant. The first pot of gold in his own rebirth was from deceit, and he is ying tricks everywhere, which is quiteughable.


    Lu Feng heard the sound of the door opening. Jiang Xiaoyan opened the door and Duo Duo rushed in, holding her new doll in her arms, and threw herself straight into Lu Feng''s arms eximing, "Baba! have you bought something for me?"


    "Your dad isn¡¯t a money printing machine; he can¡¯t buy good things for you every day." Jiang Xiaoyan changed her shoes and while looking at Lu Feng asked, "Why do you dress like that nowadays?"


    Lu Feng nced down, only to realize that he had forgotten to change his clothes, and hastily said, "Just found it and put it on to have the feeling of being newly married again."


    "You hated it till now!" Jiang Xiaoyan blushed then said, "Why are there so many people downstairs? What are they talking about?"


    "It''s okay, it''s Li Da Fang: her cousin is here."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was cooking and talking to Lu Feng about her work at the restaurant and factory today. Duo Duo was lying on the bed andbing the doll''s hair.


    The family then had supper and Jiang Xiaoyan counted the debts owed. She then quietly looked at Lu Feng and asked, "When I went out in the morning, I saw your buddies waiting for you at the door."


    Seeing her like this, Lu Feng was afraid of her crying again while eating, and hurriedly said "I-"


    "You don''t need to exin it to me. I should be content. I just want you to go to work; I can pay back the money you owed!" Jiang Xiaoyan sulked and ate her meal, she already felt very happy.


    At least for the past few days, he hasn''te back drunk and menacing, he doesn''t beat me, and he has changed a lot!


    Lu Feng could only sigh and eat.


    The rest of the day will be long, so take your time. First try and solve the canning bottle problem.


    Duo Duo felt the tight atmosphere and felt that it was simr to the past. Holding a big bowl, her eyes were full of panic.


    After eating, Lu Feng took the initiative to help Xiaoyan wash the dishes and the two stood together silently while washing the dishes. There was nothing to say; It seemed that yesterday''s ambiguity had approached the critical point, like a gorgeous firework which was fleeting in the blink of an eye.


    There is no TV in the household and if the lights are on, it consumes electricity; hence, at nine o''clock in the night, all three family members went to bed early. Duo Duo got up from her bed, looked at Lu Feng and said naively, "Baba,e and sleep here, it¡¯s okay!"


    Lu Feng looked at Duo Duo standing on the mat where the two slept, smiled and said, "If Dad sleeps there, your mother will get hot."


    Originally, it was an ambiguous sentence; therefore, Jiang Xiaoyan did not respond. She just pressed Duo Duo on the bed and gently patted her back to coax her to sleep.


    Lu Feng also turned his head to doze.


    In the gloom, Jiang Xiaoyan''s expression revealed a touch of disappointment.


    Should I still wait for his initiative?


    was the question guing her heart.


    That night, He Yanli couldn''t sleep. She rolled over and over again, thinking about Lu Feng sitting in the passenger seat of the Santana again and again in her mind.


    The next morning, Lu Feng drowsily heard a fierce knock on the door. He opened his eyes and asked drowsily, "Who?"


    "I, He Yanli, please help me, the water pipe at home is cracked." He Yanli''s voice was very anxious.


    "I''m not a plumber, go find a professional!" Lu Feng spoke as he put on his clothes.


    "There is water everywhere in my home, you can at least help me find the valve!"


    Lu Feng opened the door, He Yanli stood outside the door in thin clothes. She stretched out her hand, pulled Lu Feng and ran towards her apartment.


    As soon as he walked in, he observed that the apartment was full of water. The water wasing out nonstop from the kitchen plumbing.


    The faucet was broken and could not be turned off. Lu Feng searched for a while, found the on-off valve, turned it off, turned around and said, "It''s down here. Just change the faucet."


    "Thanks for your hard work, I disturbed your sleep." He Yanli was embarrassed.


    "It''s okay, no problem." Lu Feng said, and looked around the room. The quilt on the bed was still spread out. There was underwear beside the bed everywhere, making him not know where to look in the small apartment, "I''ll go back now!"


    "Don''t, you can sit here as long as you like." He Yanli said, grabbing Lu Feng''s hand and said, "This Sister¡¯s home is disorganized, and there is no ce to sit. You can have a seat on the bed."


    She then pushed Lu Feng onto her bed.

 Chapter 12 - What Am I Missing?

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    ¡°Lu Feng, you know, I have been alone for several years; after all, I am a woman. Men can just marry again as if nothing happened, but women be helpless. A water pipe leaked and I can''t even handle it alone. I have to find a man to rely on. "


    He Yanli ced a hand on Lu Feng''s shoulder, winking like silk, and whispered, "A woman is a flower and needs a man to moisturize; otherwise, the flower will wither. I know that you and Jiang Xiaoyan are both a couple in name but not in reality¡­."


    " What? How do you know? Do you eavesdrop on us?"


    "Everyone in this building knows. I don¡¯t want much, just wants a shoulder to lean on." He Yanli spoke as she sat on Lu Feng''sp.


    When Lu Feng heard this he smiled, reached out his shoulder and picked her up.


    He Yanli was very excited, her pair of winking eyes straightened out and she stretched her hands around Lu Feng''s neck, looking forward to what happened next.


    Lu Feng then picked her up and threw her on the bed without reserving his arm strength. Standing by the bed and looking at the water under his feet, he said coldly, "It''s a lot of water, please clean it up!"


    Watching Lu Feng leave, He Yanli didn''t fight.


    This guy''s head is sick. All this trouble for nothing. I didn¡¯t even mention that people have to pay for what I was giving him for free


    .


    Didn''t someone say that he still spend money to go out for prostitution?


    Lu Feng didn''t have time to waste on He Yanli. Even if he was going to cheat, he would not like this kind of stuff. Now, the most important thing is the canned bottles.


    Yesterday, he learned about some ss bottle factories from Zhou Jianguo. The unit price of canned bottles can be as low as a cent. It was also the ideal price he set in his mind.


    The weather was warm today, so Lu Feng only wore a shirt. He found Datou(Big Head), sat in his rickshaw, and they went straight to the printing shop.


    "Brother Feng, what are you going to do at the print shop?" Datou wondered.


    "Going to get some information!" Lu Feng replied vaguely.


    "What? Are you going to do something like that again?" Datou felt that Lu Feng had changed too much recently. The previous brother Feng would give him a silly look, was naive and very loyal, but this present Lu Feng makes people around him confused. For Datou, this Lu Feng¡¯s peaks are as deep as the vast ocean.


    "Don''t ask too much. Datou, what are you doing nowadays?"


    "Farming, my family has 40 acres ofnd, and the granary is almost full every year!" Datou said, with happiness on his face. Farming is the best choice for young people who graduated from elementary school only.


    Lu Feng remembered that the migrant worker boom only appeared in the mid-1990s, and people didn''t have many choices in 1990. The best thing is to go to the city every day to have fun.


    "Datou, you have to help Brother Feng for a few days, okay?"


    "No problem. I''m strong, so I can do everything quickly!" Datou said honestly.


    There are not many print shops in the city. Now, there is little to no demand in this area.


    Lu Feng and Datou reached the shop and entered. The owner was a young man. Seeing Lu Fenging in, he asked rudely, "What do you want?"


    "I want to print some documents, and can you synthesize some photos?" Lu Feng asked.


    "Synthesis of photos is costly, fifty cents apiece. Fifty cents per typesetting, and five cents a piece of paper for printing." The owner¡¯s voice waszy and somewhat arrogant as if he was superior to others.


    "Fifty cents for a photo!?" Datou yelled, "Let¡¯s go to the photo studio; the family portrait is only 30 cents!"


    "Do you want to do it? Get out if you don''t want to!"


    This kind of service attitude made Lu Feng frown a little, but now, this service is high-end, and the boss¡¯s perspective is also standard. A little girl is standing next to him, watching the owner with admiration on her face.


    "This price is fine."


    Fortunately, Lu Feng didn''t turn over the money he received from Stationmaster Wang to his wifest night; otherwise, he would have been embarrassed today.


    Lu Feng walked out with a folder at three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Datou said in a painful voice, "Just a few things, he asked for three dors? We¡¯ve been robbed!"


    "This is still typewriter typesetting. If it is aputer, it would have been even more expensive."


    "Brother Feng, what is aputer?"


    "Um¡­." Lu Feng didn''t know how to exin, so he said, "With your IQ, it is difficult for me to exin clearly to you."


    "Is it an electric typewriter?" Datou asked curiously.


    Lu Feng nodded, not wanting to be entangled with this issue, looked at the Datou and said, "From now on, you call me Mr. Lu, understand?"


    "What?"


    "Just remember, alright!?"


    Although Datou didn''t know what he wanted to or should do, he nodded. Recently, he has be more admiring of Lu Feng, looking up to him as an idol.


    They then Rode the rickshaw straight to the ss factory.


    The gatekeeper of the ss factory looked at the two and asked, "What do you two want?"


    "I''m looking for your boss!" Spoke Datou arrogantly.


    "Who are you? Why do you want to see him?"


    "We are from a cannery and wish to order a batch of canned bottles."


    A few minutester, Lu Feng sat in a reception room and told Datou, who was beside him, "Remember what I said. Also, I will put this folder on the table. Don''t take it when we go, you understand? "


    Datou nodded sincerely.


    The room door opened, and a man in his forties walked in. He wore a gray suit, a little loose, looked at Lu Feng and asked, "You want to order canned bottles?"


    "Hello, I''m the person in charge of Jiamei Canned Food Co. Ltd, and my name is Lu Feng!" Lu Feng stretched out his hand for a handshake, standing straight. His momentum was a bit stronger than necessary.


    Looking at Lu Feng with wide-eyed eyes, Datou was full of doubts.


    Why did Brother Feng be the person in charge again?


    Datou discovered that no matter what identity Lu Feng touched, the temperament and self-confidence he showed always convinced people instantly. Even Datou could not figure out whether he was lying or not.


    As a businessman, lying is the most basic professional quality!


    The other party didn''t dare to be slow and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook Lu Feng¡¯s, "I am the general manager of this ss factory, Zhao Buhuan. Please sit down, Mr. Lu."


    Both parties got seated. Mr. Zhao then took the lead and said, "Do you want to customize your canned bottles? Did youe with the design of your drawings?"


    "We will not customize it at first. We will get the same canning bottles you mass-produce. Later, we will customize some of our products." Lu Feng said straightforwardly, "I don''t know how your prices are?"


    "Mr. Lu, as you also must know that the price depends on the quantity, and the prices can be negotiated when the quantity isrge."


    "But the quantity I need in the early stage is notrge; can the price be kept down? The amount will be substantial in theter stage." Lu Feng groaned for a while. ¡°It¡¯s a good product, there will be a big demand in the future, and I can assure you that I will do business only with you."


    Mr. Zhao smiled when he heard this. Everyone who came to talk with him said so and said, "How much do you need every month right now?"


    "About a thousand."


    "Three cents each, if there is a great demand in theter period, we can talk about it."


    Three cents?


    In Lu Feng''s heart, the price he imagined was a cent, but the cost had increased three times, which is uneptable to him. After thinking about it, he asked, "Can the payment be settled monthly?"


    Mr. Zhao had no interest anymore. The month-end is impossible, he stood up and dered, "Forget it, I have something to do, I can''t support your offer."


    "All right, I''ll talk to other factories." Lu Feng stood up and said to Datou, "Go and bring the car around."


    Datou froze for a moment and went out. Lu Feng and Mr. Zhao politely exchanged a few words. He strolled, and when he went out, he was nervous in his heart. He secretly thought,


    come out and chase me, hurry up!


    Zhao Buhuan was a little disdainful when he saw Lu Feng''s smile. It was just funny when he ran to put a white wolf here. As he was about to go back to the office, he suddenly saw a folder on the table.


    He picked it up and took a look. He was shocked. Inside the folder was an investment evaluation report, starting with the Hong Kong Ind Ansitu Food Group''s research and evaluation on investment in the maind market.


    First: assess market risks, conduct pilot production, and integrate local supply chains. If feasible, invest 300 million US dors in the next three years to build arge-scale factory with over one million bottles of cans annually.


    The internal research report was exceptionally well made. From market research, consumer power evaluation, canned taste surveys, brand establishment, product development to the intensity of marketpetition.


    Zhao Buhuan became more and more frightened as he turned the pages. This perfect report is not something ordinary people can fake; even he couldn¡¯t write it out like this. Looking down, he saw a few photos fell out of the folder.


    The first photo was of a few men in suits. Behind them is a building with the words Ansitu Group Building. Lu Feng is in the picture. The second photo showed even more than the first one. Zhao Buhuan¡¯s legs grew weak. It was a group photo, there was a man in his sixties or seventies, wearing sses.


    "Jiacheng?"


    "My God!" Zhao Buhuan cried, covering his head with his hands, "What did I miss!?"


    After saying that, he rushed out the door, he must chase Lu Feng and bring him back!


    TL NOTE :-


    *


    It''s definitely advantageous to Lu Feng to have the memories from his future life as he builds his factory, but some creditors need more convincing than others.

 Chapter 13 - Everything Is Ready

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng was almost at the door, but he still did not see Zhao Buhuan. He sighed inwardly. The research and evaluation report that he worked so hard to collect seemed useless.


    Let''s go to a ss factory out of town.


    He was about to turn around to retrieve the folder; however, he was taken aback when he saw Zhao Buhuan rushing at him. He quickly exited the building taking a few steps back.


    "Mr. Zhao, I was justing to find you. It appears I left my folder in your office." Lu Feng said.


    Zhao Buhuan ran to the front, panting, and said, "Mr. Lu, I brought it here for you. I think we can talk more!"


    "It''s no longer necessary. My factory is tiny, and your bid is far from the price in my mind." Lu Feng pondered for a while, "The main reason is that I can''t manage with your price, understand?"


    "It''s okay. What''s your price?" Zhao Buhuan reached out and grabbed Lu Feng''s shoulder, as if he was afraid of him running away.


    "A cent, but even if you give me this price, it won''t work unless it''s a monthly settlement!"


    "No problem, it will be a monthly settlement. Now sign the contract!" Zhao Buhuan replied in an instant.


    The stone in Lu Feng''s heart finally dropped. He would have to lie to other ss factories¡¯ managers otherwise. Lu Feng thought for a while, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhao for his love. When I have a meeting at the head office, I will definitely mention yourpany."


    "President Lu is noble. Please sign the contract right now!"


    Half an hourter, Datou was still waiting outside the building, impatiently. When he saw Lu Feng finally walk out, his face was full of smiles.


    "Brother Feng, what took you so long toe out?"


    "It''s done." Lu Feng turned around and nced at the factory. Remembering something, he hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up! don''t let those people see us riding a broken rickshaw."


    "Brother Feng, my mother told me that if you are poor, you must have a backbone. As long as the rickshaw is your own, you should keep your head up."


    "I see, your mother is right. Now go!" Lu Feng hurriedly sat on the beam and urged.


    Everything is ready now. Lu Feng''s hard work these days has not been in vain, and he will be able to start production tomorrow. Starting production as soon as possible is a must; otherwise, once the scam is exposed, he really will have nothing.


    In the past few days, Lu Feng has been dancing on the edge of a knife. Even now, he has only maintained a delicate bnce and taken advantage of theck of information flow in the era.


    If one has the Inte and a cell phone, just make a few calls, and Lu Feng''s scam will be exposed.


    "Brother Feng, where to now?"


    "Go to thebor market!"


    As the sun set, Datou rode the rickshaw awkwardly towards thebor market. On the way, Datou said, "Brother Feng, I won''t be able to help you in a few days."


    "Why?"


    "My family is going to hoe the grass for the second time of the season, and it¡¯s going to be busy."


    Lu Feng didn''t know where Datou¡¯s destiny was taking him, but he could predict it. After being in contact with him all this time, he could tell that he was straightforward and honest. He knew Datou¡¯s behavior in his heart.


    But whatever Lu Feng asked him to do, he did. Lu Feng had been in business for many years in his previous life, and he had seen too many smart people. Those smart people always thought of snatching people¡¯s money, using all means.


    "Datou, do you like farming?"


    "I don''t like it. I always get drained. I want to work in the city, but my parents said I will be deceived, and farming in the vige is the best choice."


    "Do you believe in fate?" Lu Feng turned around to take a look and offered, "Brother, my canning workshop is about start. You can help me, okay? When we make money, I will give you 30 dors a month."


    "Thank you, Brother Feng! I think that Brother Feng is not amon person, and you will definitely be very rich in the future."


    Lu Fengughed loudly.


    He can still praise others.


    People at the crowdedbor market were chaotic. There were no college students there. Now, (in 1990), college students are scarce and are stolen by majorpanies even before they graduate.


    Most of the crowd here are people who go to cities to do manualbor!


    "Boss, don''t you want someone? Moving goods and doingbor?!"


    "Boss, do you want to build a wall or make a water drain?"


    "Boss, I can clean your house, babysit, and cook."


    Maybe it was because Lu Feng dressed decently that people kept offering several misceneous jobs, and after a while, he knew the market situation was almost the same. The assembly line¡¯s staff sries seemed to be about a few dozen dors a month.


    "The cannery requires ten people, with a sry of 30 dors: a few men and women, those with quick hands and feet. Those who are old need not bother!" Lu Feng yelled toward the surroundings.


    The sry of 30 dors is not high. Those who work hard can get up to 60 dors a month. Thirty dors cannot support a family. Many people look at Lu Feng, but there are not many whoe over.


    "When does the boss start work?" a woman in her thirties asked.


    "Starting tomorrow, I will start counting the sry."


    People then started to inquire one after another. Lu Feng memorized their names; they were all women. Men are needed to cook canned food and move goods. Only a few men responded, but their wages are also being discussed. Suddenly, someone shouted "Cannery" not far away. ¡°Moving goods, cooking canned food, a monthly sry of fifty dors!"


    The men discussing with Lu Feng their sry turned around and left instantaneously.


    "Brother Feng, they are paying fifty dors!" Datou dered, standing beside Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng looked up and saw a man in his forties, supercilious, wearing an oversized suit with a BB machine pinned to his waist.


    It seemed that many business people had been eyeing the canned business. The two can only hope for the marketpetition not to be so fierce.


    "We also pay fifty dors!" Lu Feng dered out of the blue.


    "Can you afford it? Brother Feng, didn''t you say that your dad didn''t give you money?"


    "It''s not like the sry has to be paid on the spot; it will be paid next month; let alone fifty dors, one hundred and fifty dors can be promised." Lu Feng said nkly.


    Datou reacted, "Brother Feng, are you a liar? It will be rough if you can''t pay."


    Lu Feng smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Your Brother Feng is a businessman. Businessmen don''t care about conscience; they care about profits."


    Datou nodded and did not say further, but at that moment, he was sure that the current Feng and the Feng he knew from before werepletely different.


    The middle-aged man on the opposite side recruited more than a dozen people before Lu Feng started recruiting.


    "Brother, you are opening a cannery?" a man walked over and asked.


    Lu Feng turned his head, observed the speaker of the voice, and nodded while saying, "Yes!"


    "Who will buy your goods? I sell canned food." The man introduced himself, "My name is Zhou Hao. I mainly sell canned foods to small shops, supply and marketing cooperatives, and nearby viges."


    "H-Hello!" Lu Feng was still thinking that the canned food would be produced by someone and sold by someone else. He didn''t expect to find someone without looking, "No one is buying your goods yet; are you alone?"


    "I have a few brothers with me. What price do you ship?"


    "Tomorrow,e to my ce for a chat. It¡¯s easy to talk there." Lu Feng gave him the address, ¡°By the way, inform the workers to report on time tomorrow morning.¡±


    After leaving thebor market, Datou had to go home. Lu Feng asked him to pass through Sun Longbin''s vige and told him that he would need him to bring him two carts of fruit tomorrow.


    On the way home, Lu Feng was a bit emotional. It is inconvenient to have no mobile phone. He had to let people talk back to him. He passed the vegetable market, bought some vegetables, half a catty of pork, and walked home.

 Chapter 14 - Production

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    In the evening, Jiang Xiaoyan returned home and saw the table full of food. She was stunned on the spot. Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen, took off his apron, and said smiling, "Hurry up and eat!"


    "You got off work so early?" Jiang Xiaoyan nced at the food on the table and asked suspiciously, "Did you borrow money again?"


    Lu Feng thought she would be happy, but he didn''t expect her to suspect him the first thing. He replied, "I said I picked up the money again, don''t you believe it?"


    "Do you think I believe it? What are you doing out there?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, worried.


    "What I''m doing is certainly legal. Don''t worry, today is an important day. We must celebrate." Lu Feng walked over to Duo Duo, picked her up and slowly ced her on the chair, and said, "We will eat good food today, are you happy?"


    "Happy!" The little girl replied energetically.


    "Give me a kiss!" Demanded Lu Feng, trying to be the best father he can.


    Duo Duo chewed on Lu Feng''s face very unceremoniously and covered his face was with kisses!


    Jiang Xiaoyan sat aside and looked at the table of food. She couldn''t describe how she felt: he really got better, no longer yelling at her and hitting people, but now she is more worried.


    Lu Feng coaxed a lot of kisses, and saw Jiang Xiaoyan look sad. He asked her worryingly, "What''s wrong with you?"


    "Lu Feng, tell me the truth. Are you going to the gambling table?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked with a calm face, "How much did you win?"


    "I didn''t gamble!" Seeing her disbelief, Lu Feng sighed and said, "I have set up a small factory to produce canned food. It will officially start to operate tomorrow, so our life will be better soon."


    He has a factory?


    In Jiang Xiaoyan''s ears, this is more unbelievable than a pig climbing a tree.


    "Let¡¯s live this way. If it doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll not be able to continue. I will be paid sry the day after tomorrow. I will pay off my family¡¯s debts; also, I will pay off Li Da Fang¡¯s money."


    Jiang Xiaoyan then sat down andpleted herself, "I do not expect you to be better. I just hope you think about our mother and father as well. I do not have much ability; two jobs have been very tiring."


    "I know." Lu Feng stepped forward to look at her. He wrapped his hands around her and whispered, "Days will get better. I have started a factory."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was hugged, feeling the solidity and heat in his chest, her face flushed. This sort of feeling had never been touched before by her.


    Duo Duo looked at them, wide-eyed eyes and eximed, "Daddy is ashamed and hugged mommy!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan blushed like a monkey''s buttocks after hearing thement made by her daughter. Struggling to push Lu Feng away, she eximed, "What are you doing. The child is watching!"


    "What''s wrong with you?" Lu Feng got puzzled, then thought that he was so open now, he could hug casually, even her.


    After dinner, Lu Fengy in his bed at night, thinking about tomorrow¡¯s opening. He was very excited. Evenpanies who start to make their first profits could not have been this excited. He could not fall asleep until thetter half of the night.


    The following day, Lu Feng and Jiang Xiaoyan woke up simultaneously. The sky was still dark outside.


    "Got up so early?"


    "I have to get there early. Today is the opening, " Lu Feng finished washing and ate his breakfast.


    "Did you really set up a factory?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked in disbelief.


    "You treat me like I''m out eating, drinking, and gambling. Also, the factory will be running. You can quit your job as a waitress in the restaurant. If the business is good, stop working and be a housewife." Lu Feng said calmly.


    "A housewife? Where did you get this money? Howe I don''t know?"


    "Don''t ask so much." Lu Feng seemed to have found the passion of his previous entrepreneurial life. After eating swiftly, he stood up and kissed Jiang Xiaoyan''s on her lips like a ssh of water and unconsciously said, "Baby, I''m leaving!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan was blown away on the spot, her body was as stiff as an electric shock, and only his "baby" was left in her mind.


    When she recovered from the shock, she found that Lu Feng had already left.


    "We were at home, fortunately. This is too much."


    Although Jiang Xiaoyan felt too shy, there was a hint of sweetness that soothed her battered heart to the bottom.


    At six o''clock in the morning, the workers who applied for work yesterday had arrived, with Datou standing at the door. When he saw Lu Fenging, he grinned widely.


    "Why did youe here so early?" Lu Feng looked at Datou and wondered.


    "I told my parents yesterday that I don''t want to farm thend forever. My dad said that I should go out and take a break. Weeds grow every year, but I won''t; after all, I''m 22 years old!"


    After hearing this, Lu Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Your father is really insightful!"


    Lu Feng opened the door and announced, "On the first day of opening, let me give you a few words. The sry will be calcted starting from today; next month, the sry will be paid. Good work, rewards, and gifts wille in a while. Now, everyone, wipe the machine and start a fire on the stove! The men are responsible for cooking the fruits, and the women are responsible for the packaging at the machine, you understand?"


    "Yes!" everyone replied.


    At nine o''clock in the morning, a tractor stopped at the door. Sun Longbin jumped out of the tractor, nced at the door, and said, "Brother Feng, I have something for you."


    Everyone was unloading the goods. Lu Feng nced at the bill and put it in his pocket.


    "Brother Feng, how long are you nning to do this?" Sun Longbin looked around and whispered, "Brother Feng, my dad encountered something in the vige. Can you see if you can-"


    Lu Feng hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Sun Longbin, and replied coldly, "My old man ignores me right now, understand?"


    Sun Longbin nodded and did not say further; this lifted Lu Feng''s heart. He will make himself busy as soon as he gets the stuff; now, he can prevaricate. How about for a while?


    Soon after, the canned bottles from the ss factory arrived while Lu Feng and Sun Longbin were busy exchanging words of kindness.


    Noon: the first pot of canned food was boiled, and the women workers were busy bottling on the machine. Lu Feng took a deep breath as he watched the crowd work in full swing and thought that the market demand was enormous, and he was close to getting rich.


    "Is Boss Lu here?" someone asked at the door.


    Lu Feng turned around to see Zhou Hao and hurriedly responded, "I''m here."


    "Something was dyed today, the shipment thing that I said yesterday." Zhou Hao reminded.


    "I know, let''s go out to talk!" Lu Feng spoke outside. ording to the market he knows, the canned food is mainly supply-marketing cooperatives andmissaries, and the payment is quick.


    "Our canned food will be mainly in the rural market."


    "The countryside?" Zhou Hao frowned, "There is no money in the viges, and people are all paying with grain."


    "We need grain!"


    "But the grain is not easy to get; the backlog is too great." Zhou Hao retreated a bit. The grain turnover was too tricky. He said, "Boss Lu, I can pay a portion of the purchase price. First, get the canned food and then sell it to themissary every month. One checkout at a time."


    "No, No, No!" Lu Feng waved his hand, "I don''t want your money. You take the canned food, go to viges and exchange it for grain, then give me the grain, and I will deal with it. I will give you 2 Cents for each bottle you exchange."


    Zhou Hao was overwhelmed. ording to Lu Feng, would Zhou not have any risk at all? The grain in the countryside is not valuable, and many people regrly exchange it for variousmodities.


    "Boss Lu, I understand what you said, but I have more than a dozen brothers. Are you sure you want to give two cents for each bottle?" Zhou Hao''s eyes widened with surprise, and he did not say any further.


    Lu Feng nodded. Indeed, there is a lot of profit lost for two cents, but he has just started. He has to give them a profit to build trust and still make a lot of money!

 Chapter 15 - Dinner

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, the first stall-car of canned food was loaded. The factory could produce up to 7,000 cans a day at the current rate. Lu Feng stood at the door, observing the departing vehicles. He said to himself, ¡°Wish me good luck!¡±


    The workers got off work at 7 o''clock in the evening. Lu Feng checked that day¡¯s ledger records, and Zhou Hao had put some money to work there: a full one hundred dors!


    "Datou, what is your educational background?" Lu Feng asked casually, looking at the ledger.


    "I have finished the third year of junior high school, Brother Feng."


    Lu Feng raised his head and looked at him in surprise.


    This guy actually graduated from a junior high school and has a high degree of education!


    Datou felt Lu Feng''s strange gaze, and was aggrieved, "I was great at academics. I was admitted to high school at that time, but wasn¡¯t allowed to study at home. You all think I am stupid. I am honest, not stupid!"


    Lu Feng was amused, he patted Datou¡¯s shoulder and said, "I don''t think you are stupid, Datou. You have to manage this ount book well; do you know how to maintain an ount book? How much is shipped, how much is the deposit, how much food is collected, and the receipt must beplete. Well?"


    "It''s easy. I can do it!"


    Lu Feng handed him the ount book, slid some money in his pocket and said, "Go home, we will continue tomorrow."


    After closing the door, Lu Feng walked home.


    Zhou Hao arrived at the vige at 4 o''clock in the afternoon. There were people sitting in groups of twos and threes on the street, enjoying the cool time of the day. They saw the car-stalls selling things, but showed little interest. They didn''t have much money.


    "All kinds of canned food! Grain can be exchanged for canned food, and I need all kinds of grain!" The vendor announced.


    "How about some grain worth more than three years?"


    "How about five years¡¯ worth of rice?" multiple voices echoed from the crowd.


    "Yes! As long as they are not rotten!" The vendor replied enthusiastically.


    Ten minutester, the whole vige was in an uproar. In this era, no one had a big granary, and there were a lot of old rotten grains inside every household.


    It''s better to change it for some cans to relieve the children''s greed.


    A flood of people surrounded the stall car, and everyone was carrying half sacks of various grains.


    Zhou Hao was very excited when he watched such a scene. He had a feeling that he was about to get rich. If he took two cents for a can, he was going to get rich!


    "Line up! Everyonee one by one!"


    In thete Evening: Groups of children were ying. Children nowadays are notcking in entertainment; the noises of frolicking could be heard now and then. Lu Feng stood there watching them for a long time.


    "Isn''t that Lu Feng? How did you solve the problem with Li Da Fang?" a forty-something-year-old man asked, sitting downstairs and smoking a cigarette.


    "Dad, don''t you know? The battle was huge that day, Li Yi came, and I don''t know what happened, but Li Yi left without doing anything." said a young man who was about Lu Feng¡¯s age.


    "This kid has been dressing up like a dog every day this month. Has he changed?"


    "He''s changed indeed.¡± The young man cursed, his face full of jealousy, and muttered, "Jiang Xiaoyan is blind for still being with him."


    Lu Feng listened to the conversation for a while and was about to go upstairs when he noticed that the father and son squatting downstairs were silent. They were Wu Renyi and his son Wu Hongyu.


    Wu Renyi is a famous and old gangster. His son, Wu Hongyu, was sentenced for his activities which involved a gang a few years ago. He had molested Jiang Xiaoyan previously, and Jiang Xiaoyan smashed his head with a brick. Recently, he has had his focus on He Yanli.


    "Lu Feng, stay there. I want to talk." Wu Hongyu stood up as he spoke.


    "What''s the matter?" Lu Feng asked, looking at him.


    "You also have a family buddy. I don''t care what you are ying at but stay away from He Yanli. Okay?" Wu Hongyu''s face was grim as he spoke those words, with his finger on Lu Feng''s nose, "Don''t get any funny ideas, or I''ll take care of you."


    Lu Fengughed as he heard this and said, "That''s alright. Where did you hear that many disgusting things? What did I do?"


    "What were you doing when you entered ¡°someone¡¯s¡± apartment this morning? The door was not closed. ¡°Someone¡± passed by and saw you two rolling on the bed." Wu Hongyu gritted his teeth as he said this.


    "I was helping fix her kitchen¡¯s water pipe, believe it or not." Lu Feng went upstairs after speaking, but he was still muttering in his heart. He knew the people in this building too well, and he was sure the gossip had gone round.


    When he got home, he got busy cooking; wondering how to exin the situation to Jiang Xiaoyan.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, Jiang Xiaoyan came back, and her mood was not good. Duo Duo rushed to bed with excitement and found her doll to y with immediately.


    ¡°Dinner is ready!" Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen. His heart thumped seeing her face. He wanted to exin, but he didn''t know how to say it.


    The family sat eating together, but no one made a sound. Even the usually energetic Duo Duo was exceptionally quiet today. She seemed to have noticed the awkward silence between the adults.


    "This morning, He Yanli knocked on the door and said that water pipe at her apartment burst. Both of us tended to it.¡±


    "I know! You don¡¯t need to say it!" Jiang Xiaoyan said nkly, "let''s eat!"


    "Don''t listen to nonsense outside, like about us hugging." Lu Feng replied hesitantly.


    "What can I do if you two hug each other?" Jiang Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Do you need to go whoring outside? How many times have you been caught at the scene? I don''t care! let''s eat!"


    If it were Lu Feng from before, Jiang Xiaoyan wouldn''t have cared, she had not cared her entire life, but when she heard about it today, the newly healed wound on her heart nheless seeped a bright red trace.


    "I was there only for repairing the water pipe, but she tried to seduce me. I have a beautiful wife like you at home. How could even I look at her?" Lu Feng felt that even jumping into the Yellow River could not wash him clean1. He took a deep breath and said, "When Duo Duo falls asleep tonight, you can check my ammunition depot!"


    "Mom, what is the ammunition depot?" Duo Duo asked curiously.


    Jiang Xiaoyan missed the code at first, but she blushed bright red after a bit of thought. She then frowned and replied, "Eat. Children shouldn''t ask too many questions!"


    "Okay?"


    "I won¡¯t check." Jiang Xiaoyan gave him a nd look, feeling that Lu Feng might have been wronged. Herplexion looked a little better, and she said as she ate, "I have a day off tomorrow."


    "Really?"


    All this while, Lu Feng had felt bad for her. A 23-year-old girl wakes up at 5 a.m. and is busy until 7 or 8 p.m. She also has to clean the apartment and take care of Duo Duo.


    "It''s good to have a rest. You should quit your job as a waitress in the restaurant. Tomorrow, let¡¯s go out to y and eat delicious food."


    "Yes! Okay!" Duo Duo was the first to raise her hands in agreement.


    "What good does it do to know to spend money." Jiang Xiaoyan pondered for a while and said, "The director of the electronics factory asked us to have dinner, and I said I would consider it."


    "What are you thinking? Go!"


    "It costs money to go, and it''s going to be a big restaurant. It''s not cheap."


    Jiang Xiaoyan has to think about money everywhere. She earns her money every cent by the minute. Every cent she spends feels painful. Lu Feng said, "I wille with you tomorrow. Our family will be no worse than them. We will also go out tomorrow. That''s it."


    "What will you order? It costs money!"


    "I am the head of the family, so be relieved. It''s settled." No one could not deny the voice of Lu Feng.


    Duo Duo danced with joy, and Jiang Xiaoyan''s face showed a touch of happiness. She also wanted to go and see how the hotel looked.

 Chapter 16 - Jiang Xiaoyans Inferiority Complex

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng rushed to the workshop first thing the next morning. There were a lot of people at the door and surrounding with all kinds of cars parked; he was awestruck. The first thing he thought of was that his identity has been exposed, especially regarding his recent indebtedness and deception.


    Zhou Hao stayed up all night with excitement. By five o''clock in the morning, he was squatting at the door. He was afraid of only one thing, that Lu Feng would not ept the food he had recovered.


    "Boss Lu?" Zhou Hao hurriedly stood up seeing Lu Feng, threw his cigarette butt to the ground and rushed over.


    A group of people rushed over as well, surrounding Lu Feng.


    "Boss Lu, can you supply it? Can you give me a cart?"


    "I want to pull two carts, okay? I can''t pull much in a single van."


    "Boss Lu, I came first!" Several simr voices echoed throughout the crowd.


    The twittering voices confused Lu Feng and made his head twirl. He couldn''t figure out the situation and asked Zhou Hao; "Why are there so many people here? Were the cans you took yesterday all sold out?"


    "It was sold out in just two hours, all turned into grain. They are all in the car." Zhou Hao said excitedly.


    Two hours?


    Lu Feng felt a tingle in his scalp. He had thought about the great consumption and power dormant in the rural market, but he didn''t expect it to be this huge. He had only one thought left in his mind.


    I''m getting rich!


    "Keep quiet! Take your time and increase production today. In the meantime, everyone can collect fruits from the vige and sell them to me." Lu Feng knew that the fruit in Sun Longbin''s vige would definitely not be adequate at this level of poprity.


    A few minutester, Datou arrived on his rickshaw. He also was shocked to see the number of people there. Ten minutester, the workers began work and the cans continued to be processed.


    "Datou, notify the ss factory. This time, we will need 20,000 bottles." Lu Feng ordered and jumped into Zhou Hao''s car. They went straight to the Grain station.


    The head of the station, Wang, agreed. It would be easy to do things from now, and Lu Feng was ecstatic. This car full of grain was sold for 745 dors and 60 cents.


    On the way back, Lu Feng silently calcted the cost. The profit should be more than 400 dors, including two cents a bottle for Zhou Hao''spany.


    One car has a profit of more than


    $400. With the current efficiency, it would be no problem to produce four or five vehicles worth of cans a day, making the profit 2,000 dors a day. It can reach ten thousand dors in just five days!


    If they are to expand production and hire more workers, it will not be a problem to be a 10,000 dors household in no time!


    Back at the workshop, Datou was instructing the workers unloading goods. The filled cans were stacked aside. The whole workshop was in order. Lu Feng wanted to organize them and observe their work but abruptly remembered that he had to apany Jiang Xiaoyan out to dinner. He had to hand over the job to Datou.


    "Make them pay the deposit before taking the goods, clearly record the names, and don¡¯t mess up the ounts!"


    " I got it, Brother Feng!" The big head nodded thoughtfully.


    "Datou, work hard. I will not mistreat you. Our future is promising!" Lu Feng patted his shoulder.


    On the way back, Lu Feng was still thinking about hiring a few more workers. With low wages and high profits, he must seize the market; moreover, the canned food is seasonal. After the local fruit ripening season, the Prices will escte abruptly.


    10:30 in the morning: Jiang Xiaoyan put on a long skirt and tied her hair. Although she did not wear any makeup, she gave out an indescribable aura of natural beauty.


    Lu Feng opened the door and felt dazed when he saw Jiang Xiaoyan in a long skirt


    .


    I have to say that she is indeed a beautiful woman


    .


    The kind of beauty which renders people unable to remove their eyes with a bit of dressing up.


    "Where did you go so early in the morning?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, looking anxious.


    I can''t imagine the number of people she would have spellbound if the current makeup technology was as good as twenty yearster.


    "What are you looking at me for? Where did you go so early in the morning?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.


    "You are so beautiful." Lu Feng eximed sincerely.


    Jiang Xiaoyan, who had never beenplimented so tantly, blushed with embarrassment.


    She threw her fist at him and said, "Why is your mouth slippery these days!? The is open, so everyone can hear you."


    "You¡¯re beautiful, and even if I have to stand on the street and shout with a loudspeaker, I¡¯ll do that."


    "You are insensitive and shameless!" Jiang Xiaoyan gave him a dark look and said, "Hurry up, you got here in the nick of time."


    Lu Feng knew that she was a sensitive and very traditional girl, but he did not expect her to have such an over-sensitive demeanor. He smiled and said, "I''ll change my clothes."


    The weather was hot and not suitable for a suit jacket. Jiang Xiaoyan wore only a white shirt. Looking at the clean shirt on her body, Lu Feng felt that she was really concerned with cleanliness. When shees back from work every night, she always washes her clothes.


    Walking to the hotel would take much time, which they did not have enough. Lu Feng borrowed a motorcycle from a child downstairs. The three rode the bike straight to the Tianyue Hotel.


    Tianyue Hotel, the only seven-story restaurant in the city, is patronized by local tycoons.


    I heard that a table worth food costs tens or hundreds of dors, and the waiters there are gorgeous. There are many rumors about its insides. The decorations are all gilded.


    Ordinary people see it only from the outside and walk around it. They can only imagine what is inside!


    Lu Feng parked the bike in the parking and Duo Duo jumped out of the motorcycle momentarily, looking at the high building. She stretched out a finger and counted "one, two, three-"


    "Seven floors, don''t count it!"


    "It''s so tall!" Duo Duo''s eyes were full of tiny stars, and she eximed, "Dad, it''s so tall!"


    Only these three words remained in her mouth. The seven-story restaurant had given her countless shocks. Lu Feng turned his head and looked at the restaurant, filled with a variety of emotions in his heart.


    It is now, in the early nies, that this child looks at a seven-story building, thinking it is so tall. Thirty yearster, when a child sees such a seven-story building, he/she will onlyugh at the fact that it is too short and old-fashioned.


    Thirty years. This country has changed drastically!


    A few women at the window on the third floor looking down on us, who cane here for dinner, and it is not a regr thing for them.


    "Jiang Xiaoyan is here. Who is the man next to him? The man in suit and leather shoes!"


    "That¡¯s her man."


    "He¡¯s a trash man who doesn''t do anything, and he looks like a person today!"


    "Sister, if someone must be brought out, they ought to be cleaned up. Don''t you know, the poor jingle, Lu Feng, doesn''t do anything. She is still out there holding on alone."


    "So are you." A woman in her thirties said dejectedly. "Let¡¯s not talk about her having a bad life then; let¡¯s talk about what her man is. When she finally settled down into a rtionship, I always thought it would be with someone; you know, different. I can¡¯t afford to have this kind of person in my family.¡±


    A few people reprimanded one after another. Xiao Li lowered her head and did not speak further. The woman Lan had money in her family, and everyone in the factory ttered her.


    Xiao Li has a good rtionship with Jiang Xiaoyan, so she wanted to show her to the world, but she did not expect to get a lecture from Sister Lan instead.


    The decoration is just like an ordinary hotel, with marble walls and chandeliers, but it did not amount to much for people like Lu Feng, who lived in a five-star hotel every day.


    But Jiang Xiaoyan and Duo Duo were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden1, staring at decorations with wide eyes; Duo Duo looked curiously at the marble tiles and wanted to reach out and touch them.


    "Don''t touch it. Let¡¯s hurry upstairs." Jiang Xiaoyan said cautiously.


    "It''s okay. It¡¯s just marble pasted on the wall." Lu Feng picked up Duo Duo and brought her near the wall in his arms; her hand touched the wall, and the three walked upstairs as Duo Duo slid her hand against the wall. "Smooth!"


    On the third floor stood a woman in her thirties: dressed in expensive, fashionable clothes, with a jewelry ne around her neck, and an authoritative face.


    "They''reing!"


    Seeing the woman, Jiang Xiaoyan unconsciously lowered her body and said nervously, "Hello, Director Wang."


    Her posture was very low, and the smile on her face froze like a child awkwardly learning to be a truant, which was heartbreaking and pathetic.

 Chapter 17 - Apologize

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng noticed her and stretched out his hand, "Hello!"


    "No need for introductions. Hurry up and take a seat!" Wang Lan turned her head and didn''t even look at Lu Feng.


    Jiang Xiaoyan nced at Lu Feng and whispered bitterly, "Don''t make trouble for me!"


    After that, she took Duo Duo in her arms and sat next to Xiaoli. Lu Feng looked at Wang Lan with mixed feelings. He thought about how having money makes one feel superior to others. He was not this arrogant in his past life, even all his billions.


    He restrained himself thinking about Jiang Xiaoyan; after all, Wang Lan was the director of the electronics factory, so he did not say anything and took a seat peacefully.


    "Xiaoyan, you''ll have a drink with Sister Lan in a moment. This is a good opportunity, you know?" Xiaoli whispered.


    Jiang Xiaoyan nodded and voiced her gratitude. For today''s dinner, Wang Lan did not invite Jiang Xiaoyan; Xiaoli called her on her own.


    A few women chatted quietly, and their eyes floated to Lu Feng from time to time. There were already some cold dishes on the table. Duo Duo stared at the sea buckthorn sorbet before her and kept pulling Jiang Xiaoyan''s clothes.


    "Behave yourself, child." Jiang Xiaoyan red at her.


    Duo Duo was sensible and did not make extra moves. She just stared wide-eyed at the dishes. Lu Feng saw her and reached out to hug her.


    "Want to eat?" Lu Feng asked.


    Duo Duo nodded, looking at the Sea buckthorn sorbet, almost drooling, but shook her head immediately after.


    "Do you want to eat, or you do not want to eat it?"


    "I want to eat, but mummy won''t let me eat. I have to be obedient." Duo Duo''s little head leaned against Lu Feng''s chest.


    Lu Feng smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and put a piece in Duo Duo''s mouth. When other people on the table saw this, they frowned secretly and whispered, "What do you expect?"


    "What qualities can a second-rate bastard have? "


    "If I knew this family wasing, I wouldn''t havee. it''s out of my ss!"


    "That''s it, just pack a portion for them and let them go home to eat."


    The harsh words reached Jiang Xiaoyan''s ears. She turned her head and patted Lu Feng¡¯s shoulder lightly, giving an apologetic look to everyone. The scene was very embarrassing.


    At the stairs entrance, a man in his thirties walked in. He wore a suit and leather shoes, with t hair and full of energy.


    "My man is here." He Zhen stood up and waved.


    The man walked across and politely greeted Wang Lan, "Sister Lan is here too."


    "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my husband, now working as a section chief in a state-owned unit; please let don¡¯t let me not talk much about it!" He Zhen said, with her face full of pride.


    Her arrogance was more apparent when facing Jiang Xiaoyan.


    He Zhen introduced everyone on the table to her husband one by one. When it was Lu Feng''s turn, she disdainfully said, "This is the man of one of our factory workers. Everyone, please sit down."


    Section Chief Niu looked at Lu Feng with several questions in his eyes, and it is evident that He Zhen often talked about Lu Feng at home.


    "Laoban Sun and Mr. Zheng are also around; they wille up soon. Let me tell them to serve hot dishes. It''s not easy to get together!" Section Chief Niu announced while looking at Wang Lan and asked, "Why haven''t I seen Mr. Zhao?"


    "Hispany has been bustling these days; he will probably arrive shortly."


    Two minutester, he walked up to the party soon; first, a burly man and Li Jiaoyue¡¯s husband, Laoban Sun, a big bellied man, and Wei Jiajia''s husband, Mr. Zhao.


    With the arrival of everyone¡¯s respective families, the dinner table became lively as they exchanged greetings with each other.


    Only Jiang Xiaoyan, Xiaoli, and Lu Feng looked out of ce.


    "Where did Mr. Zhao obtain his wealth?"


    "What kind of fortune? I may lose tens of thousands of dors this year; however, Boss Sun''s business will not be is loss."


    "That''s Jiang Xiaoyan, man? Why does he dress up like a dog? Don¡¯t they say that he relies on his wife to raise him?" Boss Sun winked his eyes.


    "I am too embarrassed toe here. Such people are too insensitive."


    Several murmured, the sound was not loud, but they were all sitting at the same table, who would not hear?


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s expression was ugly. She lowered her head, pretending not to hear. Lu Feng leaned on his chair and looked at those people coldly. He wanted to know how distinguished these bosses were.


    "Boss, what are you talking about?" Lu Feng asked.


    The people present were all taken aback. They did not expect Lu Feng would dare speak; moreover, his tone was aggressive.


    Mr. Zheng snorted twice without smiling, his face trembling. He said, "I''m just talking about business affairs. I don''t know where Mr. Lu gets his wealth?"


    Several women heard Mr. Zheng''s address to Lu Feng and covered their mouths tough. Mr. Lu was ironic.


    "I don''t make a lot of money because y factory just started." Lu Feng said casually.


    "Puff!"


    He Zhen couldn''t help butugh; along with the majority on the table, the atmosphere on the dinner table suddenly became cheerful. Xiaoli frowned and whispered, "Xiaoyan, let your man say a few words, don''t lose to that person."


    Jiang Xiaoyan pped Lu Feng''s hand quietly and gave him a wink, but Lu Feng did not understand the gesture.


    "Mr. Lu is not an ordinary person; you have a dangerous name. So, you opened a factory? It shows that if you throw a bun to a dog, it can eat as well." Boss Sun said with a smile.


    Everyone burst intoughter, and Xiaoli smiled in agreement. She had a good rtionship with Jiang Xiaoyan, but it was not to offend such a group of people for her.


    Wang Lan stared at Lu Feng with a smile as if looking at the biggest joke.


    Lu Feng''s face sank; staring at Boss Sun, he warned, "You have to apologize to me and take back what you just said."


    The audience''s smiles stopped abruptly, and the room fell into a dead silence. Li Jiaoyue was the first to feel embarrassed.


    What kind of man are you, teasing someone as low as him? You are going to make me lose my reputation.


    "What did you say?" Boss Sun got angry and shot words out of his mouth, getting annoyed, "There is a way to talk to your superiors."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious. Clutching Lu Feng¡¯s hand desperately, she said in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to the others. These people shouldn¡¯t be offended by poor people like us."


    Lu Feng did not respond at all; instead, he looked indifferent. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at Boss Sun, "You have to apologize to me and take back what you just said."


    "You are misbehaving because I gave you a face, isn''t it?" Boss Sun was furious. He stood up and shouted, "Who are you, pointing your finger at a god? Are you qualified to even sit with me, you poor ghost!?"


    "Jiang Xiaoyan, what does your husband mean!?" Li Jiaoyue shouted.


    Jiang Xiaoyan was crying anxiously. Mustering up courage, she stood up and bowed, apologizing, "I''m sorry, he drank some wine. Please don''t be angry with him."


    Lu Feng pressed Jiang Xiaoyan on the seat and said, "I didn''t drink. What''s the matter if we are poor, do they have to ridicule us here?"


    "Oh, you don''t know whose meal you are eating. It''s so impressive, Mr. Lu!" Wang Lan mocked, staring at Lu Feng, she continued her scorning, "I call you Mr. Lu, that''s enough respect. You said you opened a factory: is it a bigpany? a big industry? Tell us a little bit about it,e, everyone give a hand for President Lu!"


    Boss Sun could not help but frown hearing Wang Lan invite Lu Feng. He sat down and observed the scene coldly. There was sparse apuse, apanied by ridicule.


    Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious like an ant on a hot pan. Does this mean that he was making a fool of himself? So that man called him Mr. Lu, or he is just nning to roast him?

 Chapter 18 - General Manager Lu?

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Everyone red at Lu Feng with cold eyes, like watching a monkey about to perform. Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious about him going to the stage alone. She wanted to stand up and help him say a few words; however, she was pressed down by Lu Feng before she could stand up.


    "If you want to hear from me about business, I''ll talk if you can understand it." Lu Feng said, speaking from Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s side.


    All the faces in the room were severe. The boss temperament emerged from the supposed performer, the personality that took many years to develop. The audience was stunned.


    C


    oming back to the sneering crowd, excellent feeling ah


    !


    "You are bluffing. Tell me which industry will rise in the next few years." Mr. Zheng asked, tidying up his suit. His expression was full of arrogance. He did not intend to fool around anymore.


    Lu Feng nodded and said, ¡°Judgement of the future industrial situation cannot be dependent on the current one. It is not only to judge the domestic demand but also to pay attention to the direction of the international wind. The necessities industry will inevitably form a huge gap; however, the profit will be low in the long run. As the technology industry is small, the marketpetition will be particrly fierce there."


    A few people at the dinner table furrowed their brows hearing this because they did not understand.Zheng always handled service trade. He could not even understand product design patterns seeing the city''s clothing needs.


    As for the women, they are employees of state-owned enterprises. They did not even know what the market was. In their eyes, they hold the iron rice bowl1 and are always many times better than the regr workers.


    Little did they know that the market economy would rise in the next few years, and their iron rice bowl would be smashed.


    At the entrance of the stairs, a man in his forties came up. When he heard Lu Feng''s words, he stood where he was and stared at him in a daze.


    "If you want to create a big market, you need to upgrade your technology. Technical barriers will limit the marketpetition to a fewpanies. When the timees, the game of winner gets all. What will happen in this case? Thepany will have a monopoly over that item."


    "You can evaluate the value of your technology at ten times its price; after that, you can attract more talents to invest in the next round of technological innovation and continue to lead."


    "For example, we all know that TV sets are avable, but they are costly. If we make technological breakthroughs in the next few years, this enterprise will have the right to market pricing and start mass production. High profit means high ie. We will recruit talents for the next round of technological innovation!"


    "Who will buy it at a high price?" He Zhen seemed to seize the loophole in Lu Feng''s words and retorted.


    "Is a car expensive? People still buy Santanas for worth $2700, and after the market expansion, mass production will greatly reduce the cost. The early stage is the dividend period. With the increase of marketpetition, the prices will reduce, which is the inevitable result of marketpetition."


    Jiang Xiaoyan opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Feng as if she was looking at a ghost. She understood every word in his mouth, but the sentences formed by those words were utterly unknown to her; she could not understand.


    When did his man know so much?


    A table full of people looking at Lu Feng wanted to retort, but they did not know what to say. They did not understand anything that Lu Feng said. After a long time, Boss Sun asked," How much money do you have now?"


    Everyone seemed to catch the painful point, and their faces returned tocency, asking," Yes, President Lu has said so much. You must be worth tens of millions, right?"


    "Not tens of millions, or you wouldn''t be fit to sit with me." Lu Feng said indifferently.


    "Oh, in the end, you are just a freeloader. You''re just a jerk. What are you pretending for? To be able to sit here and give your face and talk to us equals!?" Chief Niu snorted coldly and continued," wait a while till Zhaoes, both of you should have a good chat in this high-level businessnguage, people can learn a lot."


    Everyone said one sentence after another, mocking Lu Feng. The words were full of sarcasm, every one of them just decided to not care about anything but the money one has.


    The waiter started serving.


    The man standing at the stairs walked over and asked, "They''re all here?"


    Everyone turned their heads to look at the voice and stood up. Their expressions turned into respectful and smiling faces. Wang Lan noticed everyone¡¯s reaction with pride.


    "Let me introduce you to Chief Niu''s family member." Wang Lan introduced.


    Division Chief Niu hurriedly stepped forward and held President Zhao''s hand. He bowed slightly and greeted, "Hello, Chief Zhao."


    "This is Chief Zheng''s rtive. As I''ve told you before, they are in the textile business."


    "Hello, President Zhao!"


    Everyone¡¯s greeting was polite. Xiao Li also stood up and moved forward. She kept sending nces at Jiang Xiaoyan. It was not just for a meal that she came here today, and it would be best to get along with him.


    "Go and shake hands with him." Jiang Xiaoyan whispered.


    Lu Feng shook his head and sat there silently.


    "Do you think that they are only shaking hands? Let''s see what kind of trash your man is." He Zhen said entrically.


    Jiang Xiaoyan knew that her family was poor, so she had to stick up for Chief Zhao and curry favor. She looked at Lu Feng angrily and handed him some money. She stood up, preparing herself to talk to the chief.


    When a woman cannot rely on a man, she can only act on her own.


    After some time, everyone had greeted President Zhao, leaving only Lu Feng''s family. He was polite to everyone; Wang Lan said, "Have a seat. That family is only here to eat. Don¡¯t bother."


    Jiang Xiaoyan had already stood up, she stretched out her hand. "Hello, President Zhao."


    President Zhao looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"


    "She''s my wife!" Lu Feng raised his head and spoke.


    When everyone heard this, they almostughed out loud. They really thought that Lu Feng had a lot of cards to y, but he even used his own name to y around. Chief Zheng thought that he had a good rtionship with Chief Zhao, so he insisted," Don''t bother. He''s just someone who''s here to y around."


    Everyone apart from the two slowly took their seats, but the next scene shocked everyone.


    The indifference on President Zhao''s face quickly disappeared, and he put on a fawning smile. He held Jiang Xiaoyan''s hand with both his hands and said, "Hello! Wee, wee, take a seat!"


    Wang Lan was frozen on the spot, not to mention President Zheng''s family and Boss Sun''s family. She did not know why President Zhao treated Jiang Xiaoyan so seriously.


    "President Zhao, she''s just a small worker in the electronics factory. Aren¡¯t you perhaps mistaken?" Chief Niu reminded him.


    "Shut up. Do you have the right to speak here?" President Zhao scolded coldly.


    Everyone''s faces were filled with shock. Their hearts were in turmoil. They could notprehend what had happened, and their eyes were wide open as they watched. Lu Feng was the only one sitting there calmly, with a teasing smile.


    President Zhao let go of Jiang Xiaoyan''s hand and looked at Lu Feng." From what you said just now, I¡¯m genuinely enlightened. As expected of a boss with a considerable background. It''s not something that people like us canpare to."


    Big boss?


    Wang Lan''s mind was filled with question marks. Where did her arrogant husband go? Why was he so humble in front of such a b*stard? This was too much embarrassment for her.


    "Elder Zhao, what''s wrong? Do you have the wrong person? He''s just a b*stard, relying on his wife to support him."


    Lu Feng looked at Zhao Buhuan and smiled. "They¡¯re just a few words. We''re in the midst of an era of change, in the middle of themencement of a new era where even pigs can fly. Only people with an open mindset can stand on top of tomorrow''s tide."


    "CEO Lu is right. I think with your capital and vision, and you have a ce at the top." Zhao Buhuan smiled.


    President Zhang?


    Zhao Qian called Lu Feng, a good-for-nothing as President Lu?


    Everyone present felt their nerves being challenged. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with shock; even Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned on the spot!

 Chapter 19 - Market Explosion

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Wang Lan reacted and whispered to Zhao Buhuan, "Are you perhaps mistaken? This man is a good-for-nothing who relies on his wife all year."


    "Shut up. We are talking about business; what do you know?" Zhao Buhuan realized that the dishes had already been served and hurriedly called out, "Let''s move the chopsticks, President Lu. Please don''t be reserved!"


    The two women, Li Jiaoyue and He Zhen, initially brimming with joy, shut their mouths and shot nces at their men. Mr. Zheng and Boss Sun toasted while Zhao Buhuan had a chat with Lu Feng.


    They talked about the ss industry. In Zhao Buhuan''s eyes, Lu Feng was someone who stood on top of the Hong Kong Ind and had seen the world.


    Lu Feng knew the direction of the development of the domestic ss industry. In his previous life, he had even visited thergest ss factory in the country: Fuyao ss.


    Lu Feng started talking about the structure of the ss industry, domestic market demand, manufacturing process, supply methods, and the direction in which international ss enterprises will develop.


    Chief Zheng, Boss Sun, Section Chief Niu, and even Zhao Buhuan were stunned by Lu Feng¡¯s words; he was just too strong. His vast industrial knowledge and understanding made all of their hearts tremble.


    The women did not understand what the group of men talked about, but they were confounded when they saw their husbands, unable to interrupt Lu Feng. On the contrary, President Zhao looked up to Lu Feng with more and more respect.


    "CEO Lu, you''re a genius. Why don''t youe to my ce and be my consultant?" Zhao Buhuan looked at Lu Feng and felt an itch in his heart. If he could bring such a talent to his side, it would help him make a massive leap in his business.


    "There''s no need for that; I have other things to do." Lu Feng smiled, declining politely.


    "Let us toast!"


    The two clinked their sses, and Zhao Buhuan lowered his ss. This time, the dinner had be a one-sided discussion between President Zhao and Lu Feng.


    The topic was too high-end, and no one else could understand it.


    After finishing their meal around 3 p.m., Lu Feng carried Duo Duo down the stairs in his arms. Jiang Xiaoyan followed behind them and looked at the man''s generous back. Mixed feelings filled her heart.


    "The changes are too great!" She shouted silently.


    Jiang Xiaoyan even had a hallucination once: a person who looked exactly like Lu Feng recing the original Lu Feng; however, she dispelled this thought the moment it appeared.


    "Howe you know about those things?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.


    Lu Feng acted mysteriously as he looked around and whispered, "I lied to him. Those things are all stories. I can''t talk too much; It¡¯ll expose me."


    "Ah?" Jiang Xiaoyan unconsciously murmured, then continued, "Then let''s get out of here quickly. We don''t want to be chased outter."


    As they rode home, Duo Duo shouted happily. Today was the best day she ever had. She called, "Daddy, can we eat there every day?"


    "Child, do you know how much that table costs? It takes more than a hundred ordinary workers sry of several months.¡±


    "It''s fine. I''ll work hard to make sure you eat a big meal every day." Lu Feng turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoyan. She also smiled, "Our days will keep getting better. Have you resigned from the restaurant?"


    "Why would I quit the job for half a day? It''s a few tens of dors!" Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "It seems like you''re making a lot of money."


    Lu Feng parked his motorcycle near the staircase of the unit building and reached into his pocket. He took out 300 dors and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyan. "Quit it, don¡¯t be so hard on yourself.¡±


    ¡°T-This is a lot of money." Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the money, dazed.


    "I''ll earn more now onwards. Trust me."


    Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly put away the money. There was nothing that could make her feel happier than this very moment. After four years of marriage, it was the first time her husband hade home with the money he had earned. The feeling filled her heart and made her eyes turn red.


    "W-Why are you crying again?" Lu Feng was surprised by the sudden development. He had expected her to give him a wide smile.


    "Waa--¡±


    "Why are you crying?!"


    "Aiyo, if someone suddenly gave me so much money, I would cry too!" He Yanli''s voice echoed from the side.


    Lu Feng turned his head and saw He Yanli standing at his side; it made him upset. He did not know when she came downstairs or if she just happened to be standing at the corridor entrance. Jiang Xiaoyan hastily retorted with a hint of anger in her voice, "Go back to your apartment."


    "I have to go out for a while. I will be back with you soon. If you don''t have anything to do in the afternoon, go out, stroll around with Duo Duo and buy some clothes." Lu Feng said,pletely ignoring He Yanli.


    Jiang Xiaoyan led Duo Duo upstairs. He Yanli walked over and looked closely at Lu Feng¡¯s face; her intentions were obvious, "Lu Feng, how can I get rich? If it''s three hundred dors a shot, I...."


    Before she could finish, Lu Feng turned the motorcycle 180¡ã and speeded away. He passed by his friend¡¯s house and announced, "I''ll return your bike by tonight."


    He left.


    He Yanli was furious. She stomped on the ground and turned to head upstairs.


    "Beautiful; she is really beautiful today. Yanli is getting more and more beautiful. I''m getting hot all over." Wu Hongyu walked out to strike a conversation with her.


    "Scram, poor bastard!" He Yanli retorted.


    When Lu Feng arrived at the workshop, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. There was a long line at the door, and all kinds of vehicles were parked everywhere. Arge number of people were squatting there, smoking.


    The crowd surrounded Datou. He encountered smiling faces, and his ears were filled with ttering words.


    "Big Boss! let me take the next car!"


    "That''s right. Let me be the one taking it. You have a Datou, and I have a Datou; we were family 500 years ago!"


    "What''s your name Big Brother?!"


    "Have a smoke on me!"


    "It''s nothing. Don''t me me!"


    Datou was not good at socializing and was very confused. Lu Feng pushed aside the crowd, creating space for himself, and asked Datou, "What''s the situation?"


    "Brother Feng, you''re finally here!" Datou rushed over.


    "Are you CEO Lu? Can you give me the next car?"


    "Boss Lu, others will take two cents; I¡¯ll take only one!"


    "I''ll only take five percent!"


    "Stop it!" Lu Feng shouted at the crowd and pulled Datou aside.


    The situation was simple: The rural market is too big. The demand for exchanging grain for canned food was simply exploding. A car of canned food was dispatched and sold out in three hours at most. Every bottle of canned food gave the vendor amission of two cents; a car of canned food earned more than ten dors.


    Huge profits!


    One spread word to ten, ten to a hundred. Whether the workers were into bricying or pulling goods, all of them hade. If they could not keep up with the retail, people would take advantage of Datou. Some would stuff cigarettes, some would stuff money, and some would even quietly say that pulling a car would give Datou a 50% rebate.


    When the delicate rtionship between supply and demand in the market turned upside down, Lu Feng smiled and patted Datou on the shoulder, "The time for us to get rich hase."


    "Brother Feng, how can you get rich if you can''t produce enough? Also, a group of workers saw a lot of people buying goods from us today and began feeling tired." Datouined.


    "You don''t understand the power of capital." Lu Feng smiled without saying a word.


    Entering the workshop, whether it was cooking cans or the female workers on the assembly line, their speed was slower than yesterday. Lu Feng did notin.


    Zhou Hao walked over with two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes in his hands and stuffed them into Lu Feng''s pocket. He whispered, "CEO Lu, you have to let me take a car today. I''m in charge of this business. I can''t forget my brother!"


    "Don''t worry; you can take a carter. Tomorrow, you can pull as many as you want." Lu Feng said in a low voice.


    "Don''t tease me; your workers are already at their limit."


    "Why would I open a factory if I can¡¯t even handle its workers?" Lu Feng smiled and stepped out. He rode his motorcycle and headed straight for the job market.


    This time, he was full of confidence. When the market opened, there was nock of money.


    A great businessman with an abundance of capital is invincible.

 Chapter 20 - Abundant Profits

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    The job market was crowded as always. Now, the city employment has not yet fully opened, but the rural poption is slowly beginning to converge towards the city, where there is never ack ofbor.


    Lu Feng circled the area, looking for a tform. Finding one, he stood up and shouted, "Cannery Recruitment! Two shifts, male workers seventy dors! Female workers fifty dors!"


    As the words came out of his mouth, people turned towards Lu Feng. He was swarmed the next second, the reason being the high wage; it was high even for some skilled people.


    Not far away, a middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette. The expression on his face indicated he was very not pleased by something. He gazed at Lu Feng for a while, then turned towards the market¡¯s snakehead(A criminal involved in illegal transportation of Chinese citizens to other parts of the world) and asked, "Who is that man ah? Last time I came to recruit, I saw him."


    "I heard that a small factory just opened, recently quite hot; selling to the countryside."


    "The countryside? Rural areas don¡¯t have much money, who buys ah? I also do rural supplies and marketing agencies; the sales are below average."


    "You don¡¯t know; people exchange grain for cans. They sell the grain directly to the Grain Station. Thest time he came to recruit workers, the factory¡¯s ie was tiny, but nowadays, ie is massive ah!


    The middle-aged man screwed his cigarette butt on the ground, and his face grew ugly; the snakehead looked at him and smiled, "Wei, he is not in the same line with you; let him recruit first."


    "I''ll go over and get to know him," Wei said the words walked over.


    In Less than ten minutes, Lu Feng had recruited more than thirty people and was ready to take them to the workshop.


    The middle-aged man came over.


    The two pairs of eyes shed; there were a few sparks; Lu Feng knew him. The outfit had not changed, suit, leather shoes, bb machine, peers are ingrates;


    This cannot be


    .


    "Hello, I am the Wanyuan food processing nt¡¯s owner, surnamed Ren." Mr. Ren said, pulling out a business card.


    "I am a canner called Lu Feng, no business card." Lu Feng looked at the business card; Ren Qianbo, a fancy name.


    "Mr. Lu''s business is not bad. Just a few days ago, you came to recruit workers, and now expanding ah!" Ren Qianbo¡¯s face had a congrattory smile, but the words left a hint of sour taste.


    " You havee to recruit workers; certainly, Mr. Ren''s business must also be booming." Lu Feng knew what these actions meant and said, "Mr. Ren, our businesses do not offend each other. I hope you do well in your path:missary, supply, and marketing agency route; I will do well in the wholesale grain route!"


    "Mr. Lu, don''t think about it too much. I¡¯m just here to make your acquaintance." Ren Qianbo replied, full of smiles, extending his hand for a handshake.


    Lu Feng walked out with his face cold as Ren Qianbo stared at his back with narrowed eyes. Ren then continued his recruitment.


    Where there is a market, there ispetition. Lu Feng knew the idea well but did not expectpetition toe so quickly; he understood this gesture very well as a businessman.


    Back at the workshop: Zhou Hao took another car. Before the end of the day, a few people were squatting outside, smoking. Datou was at a loss; he saw Lu Feng returning and rushed over.


    "Brother Feng, they are too tired. They need to rest for a while."


    Lu Feng nodded; he paused Datou by waving his hand towards the most recently recruited workers. He entered the workshop and shouted, "Everyone stop!"


    Everyone stopped the work at hand to look at Lu Feng. Those smoking outside rushed in.


    "Today, we have worked hard, and our business is as good. I hope we can work harder. Everyone present gets a wage increase: Preparing contents and moving goods: twenty-five dors a month; encapstion workers: twenty dors a month. Two shifts for everyone!"


    Everyone''s face was full of smiles; Lu Feng then said, "No smoking During working hours, and I let you go if you cannot keep up with speed. Such high wages are not for you to y; you can try if you do not believe me. Go smoking during working hours and see what happens."


    Lu Feng''s gaze swept down on each worker, and no one dared to look at him. The few men who had just gone out to smoke didn''t even dare to raise their heads!


    "You get off work in forty minutes, do some work till then!"


    Everyone was busy; they were fully motivated. A world of difference was observable. The workers worked fast enough to rush out half a truckload in the next forty minutes.


    As usual, the workers went about their business; Lu Feng called Datou over and inquired, "How many cars today?"


    "Nine cars, four cars are back. Here is the money," Datou handed over a pile of money and the ount book.


    Lu Feng examined the ount book and the money, a total of $1,349 profit. Two to three thousand dors profit a day is easily manageable with two shifts.


    "Brother Feng is rich!" Datou grinned widely.


    "It''s still early, the machine is five thousand, and it has yet to be paid. There''s still enough money for workers'' wages and ss bottles, but we''re not far from getting rich." Lu Feng looked at his new partner and asked, "Have you eaten?"


    "Had a bitest night!"


    Lu Feng took out ten dors and handed it to him, "Take this money and eat something, don¡¯t worry your parents. I don¡¯t see it every day, but you use our own money to eat out regrly."


    "Brother Feng, there''s no need. You said you will give me a sry; that is good enough." Datou pushed Lu Feng¡¯s hand back.


    Lu Feng did not say more; he just slid the money back into his pocket; he looked at Datou in his eyes and promised, "Do a good job, I will not treat you poorly."


    The night shift had begun; initially, the multiple rooms in the bungalow appeared very spacious, but now they were crowded. Lu Feng rode the motorcycle home and told Jiang Xiaoyan he would note back tonight.


    He returned the motorcycle and headed back to the workshop on foot to work the night shift.


    The machines roared all night; pot after pot of canned food came out of the oven and got loaded in the stall-cars at a dizzying pace.


    Eleven o''clock in the night, Wu Hongyu tossed and turned, not being able to sleep. He kept thinking about He Yanli¡¯s attitude towards him during the day, and his heart was suffering to the extreme. Not able to bear the pain, he climbed up the stairs and ran to He Yanli¡¯s door, and knocked.


    "Who is it?"


    "Me, open the door!"


    "You''re sick, knocking on a widow''s door at night!" He Yanli retorted.


    "What, can''t you see it? What is Lu Feng? Your mind is not clear; is he better than me? Besides, he has a wife." Wu Hongyu argued, getting irritated.


    "None of your business! I can like whoever I want; I¡¯m not your f


    <span>king wife!" He Yanli snapped angrily


    . I can¡¯t sleep like this. Capable men don¡¯t look at me; moreover, Useless wastees to knock on my door every night


    .


    The two of them disagreed, resulting in a fight.


    5:30 a.m.: First light of the day, Lu Feng yawned and sent away thest car, looking at the ount book in his hand; his heart unutterably happy.


    Shipment of fourteen cars in one night, the profit of more than four thousand! With several more carloads of fruit and increased daytime workers, the efficiency should be simr in the day.


    Eight thousand dors of profit per day!


    After a deep breath, Lu Feng calctes with a smile on his face.


    Only one month; a monthter, holding $240,000, Ren will be shitpared to me! Yeah!


    "Brother Feng!" Datou jumped out of the rickshaw and called out.


    "Come ah, take ount book and get a few carloads of fruit. Settle the ount; from today onwards, the purchase of goods will not be done on credit." Lu Feng exined.


    "Yes, Brother Feng. You should have a nap."


    Lu Feng exined some things to Datou and was ready to go back, only to find that he had to walk all the way home. He turned around and said, "Datou, if you have time, go buy a motorcycle with some money from the ount. We will drive a Big Ben when we get rich."


    Datou grinned, nodding excitedly. In the middle and lower ss citizens, riding a motorcycle depicts a sessful person.

 Chapter 21 - Give Me Another Ten Days

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    It wasn''t a problem for him to stay here every night, thought Lu Feng along the way. He does need to appoint a few supervisors to develop the management team.


    He Yanli had not slept well all night. She did note in contact with anyone rich, but recently, she heard that Lu Feng was getting rich.


    She understood too well that if Lu Feng hade in contact with rich women, he would not have bothered with her at all. Now is herst chance. As for someone like Wu Hongyu, he is just a way out.


    If she cannot seduce Lu Feng, she would just have to make Jiang Xiaoyan leave. Early in the morning, she knocked on Jiang Xiaoyan''s door and made up a story about Lu Feng and their rtionship.


    Lu Feng returned home and found the door open. Jiang Xiaoyan was sitting at the table, crying, and Duo Duo was still sleeping.


    "What''s wrong?" Lu Feng wondered, "Why are you crying so early in the morning?"


    "It''s fine!" Jiang Xiaoyan snapped angrily with red eyes.


    Lu Feng looked at her and realized that Jiang Xiaoyan would swallow all grievances, not voicing any.


    "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don''t want toe home to see you wipe your tears every few days; It affects my mood." Lu Feng sat down as he said.


    "He Yanli told me about the two of you." Jiang Xiaoyan sniffled and sobbed, "It''s fine; you¡¯ve treated Duo Duo and me well enough. I should be satisfied."


    Lu Feng understood instantly. He dressed in a suit for the past few days, and news of giving Jiang Xiaoyan 300 dors had spread throughout the city. It was bound to make several people jealous.


    He stood up and walked out the door.


    "What are you going to do?"


    "Don''t worry about it!"


    Lu Feng reached He Yanli''s door. He raised his foot and kicked the door with all his might!


    Bang!


    A muffled sound could be heard throughout the corridor. Many residents stuck their heads out to look.


    "Who kicked my door? Don''t you want to live anymore?" He Yanli''s cusses came from within the room. She opened the damaged door and saw Lu Feng, "Why did you kick my door?"


    "I''m telling you! you mess with my family again, I''ll p you!" Lu Feng turned his head and nced around the room, managing to hear a few whispers. He shouted, "How much money do I earn!? What does it have to do with you? All of you are chewing on your tongues. If you make me angry, I will pull your tongues out."


    "I didn''t say it!" He Yanli said condescendingly, "I just woke up. Don''t be so angry; let¡¯s go inside."


    She was wearing a sling, and her figure was faintly discernible. Her gaze was a little blurred, and with the charm of a young woman, not many men could resist.


    "Damn it!" Lu Feng pushed her into the room and closed the door as he cursed.


    When he got home, he mmed the door shut. Today was the first time Jiang Xiaoyan had seen him so angry. The fear in her heart had been awakened, and she looked at Lu Feng in fear.


    "Don''t believe the nonsense outside. You just need to listen to me, okay?" Lu Feng stared at her and said word by word, "I won''t lie to you. I saw that you were pitiful, so I stayed behind. Even if it''s a divorce, I have to let you leave with the money you''ve earned but never spent, understand?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan acted as she understood but didn''t. She widened her eyes and nodded. She just felt that he was good to her; that kind of good was like pity!


    Lu Feng did not want to say anything more and justy on the bed.


    The workers were on two shifts, and the machines were running day and night. Workers cooked fruits on stove, and cars were dragging cans to the countryside, where roads were problematic.


    An unknown type of canned food quickly became popr in rural areas. Compared to the canned food in the supply and marketing cooperatives, it was cheaper and more readily avable.


    Even if you cannot finish it in one meal, you can still save it. Who knew there would be such a convenient thing?


    The assembly line was like a money printer; the machine spun crazily as food flew into the cans.


    This simple business model and huge profits were unimaginable forty years ago.


    More and more people came to know about canning factory. Anyone with a car wanted to work. Zhou Hao maintained an absolute advantage as the first person to eat melon1.


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin felt that something was not right. Did he not say that he could y a random game to fool his old man? The current situation was huge, and the profits were simply eye-catching.


    It was three o''clock in the afternoon when Lu Feng woke up. The house was squeaky clean. He folded the cleaned clothes on the bed and ced food on the table.


    He then heated the food left by Jiang Xiaoyan in a paper takeout bag.


    Lu Feng had started his business by eating takeout food in his previous life. Looking at the note left by Jiang Xiaoyan, he had an indescribable feeling.


    It feels good when someone is concerned for you.


    After eating, they headed straight to the workshop. The scene was bustling with activity. Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin stood beside Datou.


    "Alright, Daotu, you¡¯re acting like a dog now!"


    "Follow your Brother Feng to eat meat, right? You can handle anyone for him now."


    "Brother Feng takes care of them." Datou saw Lu Feng and said, "Brother Feng is here."


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin looked at each other and walked towards Lu Feng.


    "Brother Feng, I bought the motorcycle! It''s 80 horsepower, It-it''s great! It cost $1,800!" Datou happily pointed at the motorcycle not far away.


    Lu Feng nodded and turned to face the two.


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin exchanged a few polite words.


    "Brother Feng, your business has gotten bigger. I''ve been having dinner with my brothers these past two days." Sun Longbin pointed.


    Sun Longbin said, "Brother Feng, your business is hot. Your old man should be satisfied; what about My father''s matter?" Zhou Jianguoined.


    "I''m busy. Don''t worry. I remember our friendship!" Lu Feng ced the bag under his arm and continued, "My old man isn''t in our city. He¡¯s in the province. It''s only been a few days since opening, and I have to stabilize this ce. Then I would go to the province and tell him that everything was manageable. Have you given me all the fruits and money?"


    "Yes, I did. My father was still worried. I told him that Brother Feng is a big shot, so he can¡¯t back out."


    Zhou Jianguo looked at his house and thought to himself, "If the business is so hot, I''ll charge you some rent. There shouldn¡¯t be a problem." He said, "Brother Feng, there''s still machinery in this house."


    "Aiya!" Lu Feng turned around and shouted at Zhou Hao. He waved his hand and said, "Let''s talk about it in a few days. I¡¯m busy, but don''t worry. This Brother Feng will not maltreat you. I''ll treat you two to a drink another day, the most expensive one. See youter!"


    The two of them stood there and gazed for a while before they went back.


    Noon: during lunch, Datou whispered to Lu Feng, "Brother Feng, with this business, it''s hard not to get rich. If I am not wrong, eight or nine thousand a day, 250 thousand a month, and three million dors a year!"


    "It''s not that easy. There''s thepetition to be considered in business. You can''t count it like that. It will be funny if I can even do this kind of business for a month, not considering seasonal fruit restrictions. This business is popr, and many are jealous of it. There''s no bnce in business. There are only two options: grow or fall!"


    "If apany keeps its bnce for a long time, it will touch the Anti-monopoly Law. Do you understand?"


    Datou scratched his head; he could not understand Lu Feng¡¯s words but felt that his Brother Feng was powerful. He was not a simple person.


    I''ll just follow Brother Feng. My father told me that I''m a bear and Brother Feng is a hero. Let me follow Brother Feng.


    ''Datou smiled honestly.


    "I won''t ever mistreat you!" After Lu Feng finished his meal, he picked up his ount book and examined it. There was already a profit of 30 thousand dors till now. The only thing he did not include was the 5000 dors from the packaging machine. It had everything else.


    Lu Feng turned his head to look at the busy workshop and thought to himself,


    Ren Qianbo, give me another ten days to y with you. I''m afraid you''re not a match for me.

 Chapter 22 - One Hundred and Fifty Thousand

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Lu Feng''s vision was extremely sharp. Although Ren Qianbo had only said a few words to him and he had already felt a sense of crisis, the truth was that his guess was correct.


    Ren Qianbo''s factory not only made canned food, but also other food products. They mainly went to the supply and marketing cooperatives andmissaries. The advantage of this market was that it was more stable, but the disadvantage was that it was too stable.


    In the past few days, Ren Qianbo had made inquiries about Lu Feng''s sales model. The hardest part was the food station. However, it was not a big problem to spend a little effort and money.


    The business was in full swing, and the production scale had stabilized. The profits had stabilized at 8,000 to 9,000 dors. Lu Feng had promoted two people as supervisors, but he was still worried. He had to work night shifts every night.


    After giving away the money from the packaging machine, Lu Feng already had 150,000 dors in his hands. Counting the funds in cirction, it was close to 180,000 dors. He had thought that 10,000 dors was so far away, but he hadn''t expected it to be nearly 200,000 dors.


    In the evening, the day shift workers got off work and the night shift workers started to work. Big Head and Lu Feng had a meal break, and Lu Feng found that there were some people loitering around the workshop who he did not know what they were doing..


    "Big Head, what are those youngsters doing here today?"Lu Feng asked.


    "Asking about the price. Asking people what the price is and what the price is to supply."Big-head put down his chopsticks and said doubtfully," There have been a lot of people asking about us recently. Brother Feng, Zhou Hao isn''t even here to pull supplies anymore. He''s supplying for others. Many people who buy goods aren''t happy with the supply"


    "Leave him alone!"Lu Feng waved his hand. In the end, Zhou Hao was just a partner. He could do whatever he wanted. Moreover, this guy had earned quite a lot. He had tens of thousands of dors.


    "You''ll be watching for Brother tonight. With Han Dong''s help, you don''t have to be too tired."


    "Brother Feng, if you have something to do, go and do it. I''ll just watch."Big Head thought for a moment and said," Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin were here again this morning."


    Lu Feng sighed. The two of them hade to look for him almost every day these past few days. They had helped Lu Feng so much because they wanted to get a reward from him. Now that he pushed them off again and again, the two of them were about to fall out with him.


    So be it. The two people who had been used up would not cause much trouble.


    "Ignore them. Even if they invite you for a drink, don''t go. Understand?"


    Big Head nodded.


    After eating, he entered the workshop. It was a busy ce. There was a temporary cash register in the corner. The cab below was locked. In order to make it easier for him to pay the bill, Lu Feng had not touched the money.


    The people around him were getting more and more chaotic. Lu Feng was worried about putting so much money here. He found a bag and opened the lock. Big Head was shocked when he saw the money inside.


    He knew it was very profitable, but when he saw that the cab was filled with money, the visual effect was still very shocking!


    Lu Feng quietly observed Big Head''s expression. It seemed like he was simply shocked by so much money. There was no greed, injustice, jealousy, or other moreplicated emotions in his eyes.


    "Big Head, do you think this world is unfair?""You''re doing what I do. I'' m even doing less than you, but the money is mine."Lu Feng asked.


    "Brother Feng, I didn''t do anything. It was all you. I'' ve already taken a lot. Compared to them, it''s much easier."Big Head pointed at the hardworking workers and said," Brother Feng, you''re someone who does big things. You earned all of this!"


    Lu Feng patted Big Head on the shoulder and began to load the bag.150,000 was not a small amount, so he was very confident. Lu Feng looked at Big Head and said," It''s just the beginning now. Look at the long term. Today is 150,000, tomorrow is 1.5 million,15 million. You believe in Brother Feng, he won''t mistreat you."


    Big Head nodded gloomily and said nothing.


    Lu Feng drove home on his motorcycle. Jiang Xiaoyan had already resigned from her job at the restaurant. Lu Feng told her to stop working at the electronics factory, but she didn''t listen.


    However, she was already much more rxed. At the very least, she didn''t have to get up early every day. After paying off her debt, she was happy every day. Her days began to flow in a beautiful direction.


    Lu Feng knocked on the door and Jiang Xiaoyan opened it. She saw the smile and surprise on his face.


    "Aren''t you working the night shift? Why are you back?"


    "Let Big Head watch. I miss you."Lu Feng entered the room with a smile.


    "What are you talking about?"Jiang Xiaoyan''s face turned red as she hit him. She looked outside and made sure that no one heard her words before she closed the door.


    "Come here let me show you something."Lu Feng ced his bag on the table.


    "Keep your voice down. Duoduo is asleep."Jiang Xiaoyan walked over and asked," What?"


    "Open it!"


    "What? He''s just pretending to be a fool and he''s buying me something?"I''ve been telling you, don''t buy things blindly. Men buy things and don''t do pricing"


    Jiang Xiaoyan opened the zipper of the bag as she spoke, and her words stopped abruptly. She stared at the things in the bag.


    "This..."


    "So much money?"


    After she finished speaking, she hastily covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that there would be ears on the wall.


    "Not much,150,000!"Lu Feng said calmly.


    150,000, Not much?


    Although ten thousand dors wasn''t worth as much as it was in the early 1980s, whoever had ten thousand dors was definitely a rich person. One hundred and fifty thousand yuan was so indifferent to Lu Feng.


    "Where did you get so much money? You robbed the bank?"Jiang Xiaoyan anxiously said.


    "I earned it. Didn''t I tell you I opened a factory?"Lu Feng saw that she was surprised and happy, and tears began to flow out of her eyes. He smacked his lips and said," Don''t cry again. I promised you in my heart that I would let you live a good life."


    "I''m happy!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan was a very traditional person, especially between men and women. However, during this period of time when she was with Lu Feng, she had already started to show some openness. At the very least, she wouldn''t be so outside. The two of them looked at each other and blushed.


    Now that she was excited, she threw herself into Lu Feng''s arms and lifted her head to kiss his face.


    Duo Duo didn''t know when she woke up. Shey on the bed and said," Mommy, you'' re embarrassed!"


    "Ah?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan turned her head and sawlooked at her.. Her face turned red as she said bashfully," Child, why aren''t you sleeping at night?"


    Lu Feng reached out and touched her cheeks. He smiled and said," It''s fine. You put the money away. I'' ll have to rece Big headter."


    "So much money, where should I put it?"Jiang Xiaoyan anxiously said.


    Lu Feng looked at her and said helplessly," Just leave it at the bottom of the bed. Tomorrow morning, we''ll go buy some clothes for our family."


    "If there''s a little money, it would start to drift. We have to save it up!"


    Lu Feng didn''t say anything. He knew how important it was to dress. Everyone assessed people with their clothes. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have fooled so many people with his wedding suit.

 Chapter 23 - Multiple Punishments

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    The next morning, Lu Feng handed the workshop to Datou. There were three more carriages of fresh fruits being unloaded. Lu Feng stood at the door and looked at the carriages that hade to pick up the goods. He felt that they were fewer.


    "Why aren''t there enough cars to transfer the goods?" Lu Feng muttered.


    "It''s normal. The supply has been sufficient for the past few days, and we are not being robbed." Datou said.


    Lu Feng felt that something was not right; as the saying went, one couldn''t get up early without benefits. Moreover, the profits from canned food were huge. This group had been handling this for some time, but only a few of Zhou Hao''s subordinates were present this morning.


    "Why are there so few people today?" Lu Feng walked up to the crowd and started inquiring.


    Many justughed at him, making Lu Feng feel that something was wrong. He pulled a familiar young man aside to ask.


    "Boss Lu, you don''t know?" The other party whispered.


    "What?"


    "You don''t know how many people are jealous of your business sess. Recently, there have been a few new workshops like yours. They''ve all gone there to get 3 cents a bottle."


    Lu Feng now understood the weird behavior. No wonder the prices of the fruits in the vige had increased recently; he had bought too many of them. He started thinking about prying on therge market.


    He realized everything now.


    "I''m leaving!" Lu Feng greeted Datou on his way out and drove home on his new motorcycle.


    On the way, he thought about the intensepetition in the market that started even beforepleting a month in the game. The next step was to turn it white-hot. He did not know if he could earn his 300,000.


    Lu Feng had not researched the fruit stock, consumption ability, purchasing power, etc., in the surrounding rural markets; there was but one thing he could be sure of.


    When a business faces viciouspetition, the first thing they do is fight a price war. Inevitably, their profits would drop, and when local fruits are used up, and the seasonal fruits vanish from the market, the cost would increase exponentially. This business game is over.


    Lu Feng refrained from overthinking the topic and parked the motorcycle at his usual spot in the unit building. $250,000 was no problem. The money was enough to support him into the next round of business investment.


    "Oh, Lu Feng bought a motorcycle!" A middle-aged female voice inquired.


    "Yeah, did aunty not go for exercise this morning?" Lu Feng asked politely.


    "No, Walking is so tiring. I have a motorcycle in my house now. If I want to go anywhere, I can just go. Little Feng is promising. I heard that you''ve opened a factory!"


    "I''m just messing around. I won''t bother you anymore. I have to go home first."


    As Lu Feng spoke, he hurried upstairs. His family had already be a target for everyone in this building. A few days ago, someone found Jiang Xiaoyan and wanted his child to be in the workshop.


    Jiang Xiaoyan rejected him, but it was another round of gossip in the end. He Yanli was the happiest among them.


    After Lu Feng sessfully started business in his previous life, he had a small amount of capital, but in the end, a bunch of people came to borrow money from him. He would never lend it to any stranger. A bunch of people made up lies and said that he was doing a business that was notpletely transparent with the government.


    Something like human nature is filled with darkness whenever shown the slightest goodwill!


    Jiang Xiaoyan had fully packed. She changed into a long dress and tied up her hair; she was a pure, beautiful, tall girl with an indescribable charm.


    She is only twenty-three years old. A few yearster, she could have just graduated from university and lived a peaceful and prosperous life by herself. Previously, she had been a little dull, but now that the household¡¯s condition was getting better, she developed a little girl''s mischievousness and vivacity.


    She and Duo Duo were often mistaken for sisters by strangers.


    Lu Feng pushed open the door. When he saw Jiang Xiaoyan, he was stunned.


    "Come in. It¡¯s not like you''ve entered the wrong house." Jiang Xiaoyan was embarrassed to be stared at by him.


    "Mommy is so beautiful!" Duo Duo hugged Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s thigh happily.


    Lu Feng closed the door and appreciated her beauty. He felt like Duo Duo. In his previous life, he was a bachelor. Many teased him that his wife may still be in kindergarten.


    It did feel simr.


    "Let''s talk first. Don''t buy expensive clothes. Buy a few pairs of clothes, a pair of shoes, and two suits for yourself. You can be considered a model figure now." Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to have already calcted what to buy.


    Lu Feng smiled at her stingy outlook.


    The three walked out of the building and headed straight for the downtown service and trade building; This was the most expensive ce in the city; otherwise, they would have no choice but to go to the wholesale market or roadside stalls.


    Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Lu Feng dragged her into the service and trade department store and bought a lot of roadside snacks. The little girl happily called out to Daddy along the way.


    This was a ce where rich people came. There was a reception, a sales guide, and an elevator. It was decorated magnificently. Any piece of clothing would cost six or seven dors, or dozens, or even hundreds.


    Jiang Xiaoyan walked around. She liked every one of them, but she hurriedly pulled Lu Feng away when she saw the price, causing the salespeople tough at her.


    "If you like it, buy it. I''ll pay the bill!" Lu Feng said.


    "Isn''t your money my money?" Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let''s go out to the stall and buy it. That dress just now cost 17 dors. I can buy it for two dors at most outside."


    Lu Feng could not help butugh when he saw her way of living, "I'' m going to the bathroom!"


    There was a bench not far away. Jiang Xiaoyan sat there with a lot of people andined. ¡°Your father had just earned a few dors, and he is already floating.¡±


    Listening to her mother''s nagging, Duo Duo sat there as she munched on the snacks. The sales guides gathered together and were whispering to each other. Their gazes would asionally drift towards Jiang Xiaoyan with a hint of disdain.


    "You don''t have money, and you still want toe in and pretend to be rich? There are just too many of these people."


    "Look at that piece of stock on her. It''s from a few years ago. She''s dying for recognition!"


    "That''s right. She''ll probably be bragging about it for a few days when she gets back. ¡®I went to the service and trade building in the city to buy clothes."


    "Hahahaha!"


    "That woman is probablying in."


    The sales staff quickly corrected their posture. A woman in herte twenties was wearing high heels and a pair of sunsses, with a little boy next to her. She was full of confidence.


    One could tell that she was rich from one look. Her clothes were expensive, and she had a great fashion sense.


    The little boy walked to Duo Duo''s side and stared at the snacks in her hand. He shouted," Mommy, I want to eat!"


    The woman nced at Duo Duo and said, "It''s not good. Mommy will take you to KFCter."


    "I want to eat that!" The little boy had a bad temper and rushed to Duo Duo. He reached out and snatched the snacks from Duo Duo''s hands. She immediately hugged Jiang Xiaoyan and started crying.


    ¡°Mommy¡ª"


    "You child, you''re eating such trash. You''re about to lose it.¡± the woman snatched it from the boy and threw it on the ground, scolding the boy.


    When she saw her snacks thrown on the ground, she did not care about the dirt and ran over to pick them up.


    "Don''t eat them anymore." Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly ran over to stop Duo Duo.


    After the woman scolded the boy, she snapped at Jiang Xiaoyan,


    "What happened to your child?"


    "You can''t even watch your child. You made my child cry." Jiang Xiaoyan retorted.


    Duo Duo cried so much that she felt her heartache as she looked at the snacks on the ground. She cried, "You''ll pay for my food!"


    The boy was very oppressive. He rushed up and moved, pushing Duo Duo to the ground. Duo Duo was about to fall when she reached out and grabbed the boy''s clothes, making the two of them fall over each other.


    The boyy on the ground and wailed. He was rolling around and throwing a tantrum!


    "Where did this country bumpkine from? How dare she bully my child!" The woman cursed and raised her hand to hit Jiang Xiaoyan.


    Jiang Xiaoyan saw that the woman was dressed appropriately and did not look like a middle-ss person; hence, she did not dare retaliate. She covered her face and started apologizing repeatedly.

 Chapter 24 - Ill Fight!

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Themotion quickly attracted the surrounding sales staff. Everyone showed expressions simr to an audience watching a show. The boy''s mother was obviously from a rich family, so they could not reprimand her. What could they do?


    Looking at Jiang Xiaoyan''s clothes, it looked she just wanted toe in and broaden her horizons. If she dared to retaliate, something big would happen.


    "Damn, you dare to hit my son? Do you know me? I''ll call my man and kill you!"


    The woman was tired of fighting, so she pointed at Jiang Xiaoyan and cursed.


    "Why don''t you look at yourself? You don¡¯t belong here. How dare you push my son? You must be tired of living."


    "Apologize to my son, you little bastard."


    "Kneel and apologize!" the curses turned to threats and threats to arrogant orders, which in turn, turned to a one-sided grabbing and tearing clothespetition.


    Duo Duo was extremely scared and did not dare cry. She hugged Jiang Xiaoyan''s thigh tightly with her eyes filled with fear. She felt she was at her past house, with her father madly beating her mother.


    Lu Feng walked out of the toilet. He kept thinking about persuading Jiang Xiaoyan to buy some clothes from the store. Their financial condition was not going to be so tight anymore, hopefully. Suddenly, he saw amotion and heard curses.


    The cursed were excessively harsh!


    Lu Feng had a bad premonition in his heart. He hurried forward and walked into the crowd; then, he observed that Jiang Xiaoyan''s hair and clothes had been torn apart. She stood there with tears streaming down her face.


    "What''s going on!?" Lu Feng hurried forward and rebuked.


    "Who are you?" The woman asked in an arrogant voice.


    "I''m her husband." Lu Feng sized her up and asked, "Why?"


    When the surrounding people saw Lu Fenging over, they could not help butugh. They could tell he was poor and assumed he did not have any dignity.


    His wife and child had already been beaten up, so he must havee here asking for the same treatment.


    The woman felt the same as the employees and immediately changed her speech to a more arrogant one. She said, "Your daughter hit my son; tell me, how are you going topensate?"


    "Daddy, I didn''t hit him." Duo Duo choked on her sobs and said, "He stole my snacks and threw them on the ground."


    "What''s wrong? You little bastard, you can still argue? Who told you to eat here? Is this ce for someone like you toe to?" The woman raised her eyebrows and cracked, "You still dare to quibble? That trash of yours doesn¡¯t deserve to be eaten by my son."


    Lu Feng furrowed his brows and said, "If you have something to say, speak peacefully. You cursed at my family for no reason; now apologize!"


    "It is all your fault. I want her to kneel and apologize!" The woman pointed towards Jiang Xiaoyan and shouted.


    "You still haven''t told us what happened, yet you want her to kneel and apologize?" Lu Feng sneered, infuriated, "You''re arrogant!"


    "That''s arrogant? What''s wrong? Try to touch me." The woman shouted, "I''ll make you suffer. You understand?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan saw Lu Feng was angry and hurriedly pulled him aside, "Don''t cause trouble."


    Lu Feng looked at her helplessly. She was always afraid of trouble and did not dare to provoke anyone. Even if she was right, she had to swallow her pride. He did not know how to recover the dignity crushed by poverty.


    "Don''t cause trouble, young man. She looks like a rich woman."


    "That''s right, look at her outfit. You can''t afford to provoke her. If you touch her today, you won''t be able to live well from till tomorrow."


    ¡°Don''t try to show off if you''re poor; after all, fighting is about money. If you don''t have money, then take a step back."


    "That''s right!"


    "There''s no need for you to persuade him. If he intended to make a move, he would have. He''s just scared!"


    There was chattering throughout the crowd. Some were trying to persuade Lu Feng to stay back; some were just excited for a fight and provoked both sides!


    Lu Feng looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and realized what must have happened. This was bullying.


    Duo Duo grabbed Lu Feng''s shirt and whispered, "Daddy, I''m afraid!"


    "Don''t be afraid. With me around, we''re alright. No one can bully you two with me around."


    The woman scoffed disdainfully hearing this.


    Lu Feng stood up and said, "You should apologize. My daughter was eating peacefully here. Your son tried to snatch her food, and you even hit my wife. I ask you and your son to bow and apologize."


    "Hahahaha, want me to apologize? You country bumpkins think you are even worthy of being here?" The woman looked at Lu Feng with contempt and provoked him, "I won''t apologize. What can you do to me?"


    "I''m a reasonable person; of course, if I meet someone unreasonable, I have to steep down to their means to repay them." Lu Feng''s voice was cold.


    "These are just empty words, do something if you have the guts."


    "That''s right. Why are you so cocky? Aren''t you afraid?"


    "Brother, if you behave like this, forget it. You can''t offend others."


    Mixed suggestions echoed throughout the crowd.


    Jiang Xiaoyan, also afraid, pulled Lu Feng away.


    "You can¡¯t leave until you hit me; you said you¡¯d do it. Come on, give me a try." The woman shouted.


    The boy spat at Lu Feng arrogantly kicked Lu Feng''s calves.


    The people around were allughing at him. In their eyes, even if the two killed Lu Feng, they would not dare to make a move. They cannot afford to offend rich people.


    Lu Feng''s expression darkened. He raised his hand suddenly and pped her.


    p!


    This p was apparent and crisp. It directly hit the woman in her face, and she stumbled backward. Her sunsses went flying, and she was in a sorry state.


    The boy was still spitting out more saliva. Lu Feng kicked him.


    Such a trashy child needs to be punished.


    The woman''s hair was disheveled as she shouted, and the child cried. The people surrounding her were dumbfounded. They did not expect Lu Feng to make a move.


    "You''re done for. Let me tell you, you¡¯re dead." The woman pointed at Lu Feng and held the boy in her arms. She pretended to be pitiful and shouted, "Honey, where did you disappear? Come here. Your wife and child have been bullied."


    Jiang Xiaoyan panicked when she saw the woman¡¯s actions and speedily pulled Lu Feng away.


    "Don''t leave if you have the guts!" Shouted the woman angrily.


    "I''m not leaving. I''m waiting for your man toe!" Lu Feng sat down and touched Duo Duo''s head.


    A man in his thirties ran over. He had a crew-cut hairstyle and wore a suit. He did not appear to be a poor man.


    The salesperson at the counter saw the man and started discussing the issue.


    "I know this person. He''s rich and very generous!"


    "Yeah! He bought a pair of pants a few days ago. He spent 20 dors without blinking."


    "A big boss!"


    "That family has surely caused trouble. What is someone poor doing with them? I¡¯m afraid they won''t even have a chance to apologize."


    "If you don''t have any money, don''t pretend to be rich ande here of all ces."


    "It''s just a matter of life and death. Just now, he was so arrogant as to hit her. I''m afraid it''s toote to kneel."


    The man had not even stepped forward when Everyone heard his arrogant voice, ¡±F*ck you, who dared to touch my wife shamelessly? Are you that tired of living?"


    Everyone made way for the man. He rushed in and tried to help his wife up, but she pushed him away and shouted, "Do you even care about me? Make someone hit him. What''s even the use of asking you?"


    After being scolded a few times, the man turned madder. He raised his head and criticized, "Who did it?"


    Lu Feng stared at the man and said calmly," It''s me."


    The man saw Lu Feng clearly and was shocked. "Boss Lu?"

 Chapter 26 - Burst

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin felt something wrong. When theyst met, Lu Feng said he was lying to his old man, but his business was going so well.


    They could not confirm whether he was lying or not. If this continued, he would probably be the richest man in the province.


    The two wanted him to repay their favors; they kept pushing him. They hade several times every day for the past few days, but Lu Feng started hiding from them.


    The two also gathered some information, which made them more and more suspicious about Lu Feng.


    Jumping off the motorcycle, Zhou Jianguo started the conversation with an arrogant note, "Brother Feng, you promised usst time. What are you trying to do now?"


    "I''ve been busytely. Wait for me to be free!"


    "When will you be free?" Sun Longbin said impatiently, "Don''t tell me it''s still too early for you."


    "No, no, look at you two acting like strangers. Aren¡¯t we brothers?" Lu Feng frowned.


    The two of them had been fooled by the word ''brother'' too many times. They wanted to turn against Lu Feng but were afraid of offending him. They did not get anything.


    "I''ve fulfilled what I promised you before. Why are you yelling at me? I''ve paid for your uncle''s machine, and I paid for the fruits in your vige."


    Zhou Jianguo had a sullen look on his face. After establishing the workshop, he dered to his family that he would grow up, and be independent, that his brother was a man with very high power. If he made some arrangements, he would be a minor official. He was already bragging about it.


    It was almost a joke now.


    Ren Qianbo looked at the two of them as his eyes darted around. Lu Feng swiftly said, "Alright, I''ve been busy for a while, but I''ll treat you to dinner and drink. Don''t worry, brother; I will not mistreat you."


    The two of them returned in vain on their motorcycles. Ren Qianbo did not say a word and turned around to drive away.


    "Brother Feng, they don''t believe you anymore." Datou voiced his thoughts.


    Lu Feng looked at the leaving car and muttered, "It''s not that they don''t believe it, I just can''t cheat them anymore, but I''ve grown up. I don''t need to rely on someone anymore."


    "Cheat?" Datou stared at Lu Feng in disbelief.


    Datou returned home and discussed what Lu Feng told him today with his father. His father told him that Lu Feng was lying and that he does not have any elders in the province, so he told his son not to overthink.


    However, Datou had tremendous trust in Lu Feng.


    If Brother Feng was right, he was right!


    Ren Qianbo drove to catch up to Zhou Jianguo and the other one for a chat. The three of them found a small restaurant to sit down. Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin exined the situation to him.


    After all, Ren Qianbo was someone who had seen the world before. After a moment''s thought, he understood the key to it. He said, "How about this? Let¡¯s head over to his residence. Isn''t the confusion just because we don''t know his background? Why are you guessing?"


    The three of them looked at each other and decided to go for a walk.


    When they arrived at the unit building, residents gathered and mumbled about Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s store ident today. When they saw a car and the two motorcycles, they stopped the gossip and stared with wide eyes.


    "Is Lu Feng staying here?" Ren Qianbo asked a male resident.


    "Hey, he''s looking for Lu Feng. He''s getting bigger and bigger; he¡¯s promising."


    "That''s right. If you say you''; Ire going to stick out, you''ll be out soon."


    "Yeah, what are you guys doing here?" Wu Hongyu looked at the two of them and recognized them. "Aren''t you two best friends with Lu Feng?"


    "Yes, but we don''t know much about him. What''s his family doing? Do you know?"


    "At his house? His dad is a farmer. He''s from the vige nearby."


    "From the vige?" Sun Longbin and Zhou Jianguo were dumbfounded. "Are you sure it''s from the vige? Not from the province?"


    Everyone burst intoughter. Lu Feng was from the province? Wasn''t this a great joke?


    "I''ve lived here for more than ten years. He moved here four years ago and rented an apartment from the Dalian family. At that time, we thought he was rich and still lived in a building. Who knew it was from the vige?"


    "This person has made a fortune recently. In the past, he could not do it. A few years ago, he was a b*stard working in the factory. He ate, drank, and gambled every day. Now, he''s mixing with the two of you; He¡¯s always been famous for beating his wife.


    "Are you sure?" Zhou Jianguo asked.


    Wu Hongyu snorted and said, "I''m sure. Two years ago, he beat his wife and filed for a divorce. His parents even made a trip here. It looks like he''s from the vige. I heard that he set up a stall in the city and farmed in the vige. Why? He''s bragging to you guys?"


    Sun Longbin felt his eyes blur as he shouted, "We''ve been here so many times. Why didn''t you say anything!?"


    "You never asked!" Wu Hongyu replied in an irritated voice


    Yanli''s gaze never left Ren Qianbo''s body, especially the bb phone at his waist. She stood up and said, "What''s wrong, Everyone? Did he lie to you?"


    "I''ve long felt that Lu Feng couldn¡¯t be anything good; otherwise, why would he be so rich?" Wu Hongyu stood up and growled, "Such a trashy person can''t walk the Righteous path. Sooner orter, he''ll be punished by the gods!"


    He Yanli stared at Ren Qianbo, who returned her stare as well. This woman had a flirtatious air on her. As a man in his forties, Ren Qianbo loved this foxlike feel.


    "Ahem!" Ren Qianbo coughed, "I still want to know more about this person. How about this? I''ll be the mediator; let¡¯s talk slowly. This beauty seems to know Lu Feng very well. Is it convenient to go talk somewhere?"


    He Yanli would have never thought a rich man would invite her. She looked at the Santana parked next to her, and her face was full of smiles. She nodded repeatedly. Standings by the side, Wu Hongyu felt that something was wrong," I''ll go too!"


    Sitting in the passenger seat, He Yanli was ted. The heavens had finally opened their eyes and answered her prayers. Lu Feng''s flower could not bloom, but there was a surprise. Looking at Ren Qianbo, who was beside her, he was an older man but had a taste of a sessful man.


    Lu Feng was busy at the workshop. He examined the ount books. The funds had already reached 210,000, but only a few stall-cars outside to pick up the goods. Only a dozen cars under Zhou Hao were left.


    "Datou, from tomorrow onwards, give amission of three cents per bottle to the sellers!"


    "Three cents?" Datou calcted in his heart and said, "Brother Feng, they''ve made a lot of money these past few days and they don''t have to take any risks: If they sell the goods, they''ll get the money. If they can''t, they bring it back. It''s a profit-making business. Three cents are too much."


    "It¡¯s not much; It¡¯s just the beginning. There will be four or five centster on as well." Lu Feng stood up, "The bonus period of making profit has passed, next is the crazypetition. It''s normal for the profit to drop. Do as I say."


    Daotu looked at the cars outside and felt a sense of danger. A few days ago, he had been thinking that with such a stable business, he could follow Brother Feng for the rest of his life.


    It had only been a few days!


    8 p.m., it was dark outside. In the Zhang family''s restaurant, Ren Qianbo''s face was red as he drank, He Yanli sat beside him. This meal not only gave a thorough understanding of Lu Feng''s background, but He Yanli also gave him a clear exnation.


    Wu Hongyu was so angry that his teeth were itching to bite. He kept cursing ¡®sl*t¡¯ in his heart, but his face still showed a wide grin. Meeting a big boss like President Ren was a rare opportunity!


    "I''m going to look for him right now. F*ck, I can''t kill him even if I find someone. I¡¯m not an idiot. Do you think Tiantian still considers me his friend?" Zhou Jianguo shouted.


    "Don¡¯t be impulsive." Ren Qianbo said," The current Lu Feng isn''t that hooligan from before; he has money in his hands. Even if you break his leg, do you think he can¡¯t find someone to cripple you tomorrow?"


    Zhou Jianguo thought about it and sat down. Lu Feng was rich. It was not something he could do. Sun Longbin looked at Ren Qianbo and said, "Chief Ren, you have to stand up for us. This guy is too deceitful."


    Ren Qianbo took a puff of his smoke and unconsciously ced his hand on He Yanli''s waist. He smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I like to fight injustice the most. Seeing you guys is like seeing myself when I was young; from now on, you guys are my brothers."


    Zhou Jianguo''s eyes lit up as he hastily said, "When I saw you, I felt a connection. I felt like I was meeting a brother."


    "Me too!" Wu Hongyu chimed in as well.


    "Come everyone, raise your sses!"


    Everyone clinked their sses.

 Chapter 27 - Backstabbing

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    The meal was over, Ren Qianbo immediately rushed to Wang Yao and chatted with Station Master Wang about the situation. He hoped to cut off Lu Feng''s ability to earn cash directly.


    This was his strategic position. As long as the grain station made things difficult for him and had a backlog, his capital chain would be tense.


    Station Master Wang looked at him and considered Ren Qianbo¡¯s information. He started tough. Lu Feng selling food to the Grain Station was legal andpliant, so he did not need to make things difficult.


    Station Master Wang noticed that something was not right, but he did not make a move. He was afraid, so he decided not to take the risk.


    Moreover, the reform in Grain Station was no longer the same as the original grain standard. It was slowly starting to implement the standard market mechanisms. The Grain Station was bigger than Lu Feng.


    Next morning: as themission turned into three cents, Lu Feng''s workshop once again had a long line, showing a lively scene.


    The vendors had loaded some of the umted stock in the stall-cars. A few days ago, the shipment timing was very tight, and he had to send the cars to leave without them being fully loaded. It was tough to deliver the rest of the goods to the cars directly.


    However, it was still shipped no matter how hectic it was that day.


    "Brother Feng, Zhou Hao, and hispany told us to load for them first." Datou ran over and informed.


    "Let them line up, start treating everyone equally. Do you understand?"


    "A lot of people are saying that you beat up Zhou Hao''s wife at the mall and said that you were targeting them; the rumors are very mysterious. They say that the two of you have a grudge against each other. Just now, someone took the lead and said that if we don''t load the goods here, they will go elsewhere."


    Lu Feng snorted and lit a cigarette, remaining silent.


    Han Dong walked over and squatted beside Lu Feng. He whispered, "Boss Lu, did you hear that the Wanyuan Food Factory has officially started producing canned food like ours today? It''s making a lot of noise; however, we''ve alreadypromised to three cents; we¡¯ll be okay, I think."


    "There are more than five workshops!" Datou added.


    "Three cents, isn''t that too much?" Han Dong muttered, "Let''s back down a little."


    "Three cents is too much? Did you eat shit beforeing here?" Lu Feng said," The days of making money have passed. The price will fluctuate wildly. It might even be four cents soon. Those big car drivers are unreliable. They will run away when they find a factory handing out a bettermission. Even a few wholesalers will have to leave the business. We don¡¯t need to worry about the small workshops. If I don''t do anything, Ren Qianbo will kill them too."


    "But the profit has fallen by too much. Price of local fruits has increased; we''ve given them so much already." Datou felt a little helpless.


    "How much money do you have? Large-scale businesspetitions can cost from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dors. Once a business empire is formed, a big-money-burning battle will start. Even if there are more than a billion, they will all be cannon fodder."


    A billion?


    That kind of money is cannon fodder?


    Datou and Han Dong were thunderstruck. They could not find a single person in the entire country with a billion dors. They could not imagine with so much money.


    Lu Feng knew the marketpetition had already begun; in fact, when Ren Qianbo stopped him, he was already doomed to be in the current situation. Sure enough, at 1 PM, WanYuan factory offered three and a half cents.


    There was no trace of the carts on the side of the workshop, leaving only a few small traders. They were the ones that sold some fresh vegetables and fruits, along with the canned ones.


    The goods started to pile up again, and the workers began to panic. They wondered if they were going to close down.


    "Brother Feng, Zhou Hao''s group has already run away. They weren¡¯t loyal. They used to call me brother-inw and ran away for a profit of fifty cents." He cursed angrily.


    Lu Feng smiled. He had never even eaten the meat and wine of a fair-weather1 friend before, so it was simple for him to call Zhou Hao a brother.


    "Brother Feng, you can stillugh?"


    "Can worrying solve the problem? It''s better to have fun!" Lu Feng looked at the vendors around him and thought to himself,


    Ren Qianbo should still have a backup n


    .


    The Grain Station still collected grain in the morning, which meant that he hasn¡¯t cut off Station Master Wang''s line.


    This calmed Lu Feng''s heart.


    Manager''s Office, the Wanyuan Factory: Ren Qianbo sat on a boss chair. Behind him was a luxuriously decorated hanging calligraphy; It conveyed the words, ''Grossing Financial Resources''.


    Opposite to him sat Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin. Zhou Jianguo said, "Chief Ren is rich and confident. Lu Feng was fated to be crippled the moment he made a move. He was just pretending and lying; I was blind too. It is unbelievable I know such a brother."


    "That''s right; he doesn¡¯t deserve to bepared to President Ren. President Ren''s hair is thicker than his leg2."


    "Of course, it''s only a matter of time before he goes bankrupt!" Wu Hongyu stood by the side and gritted his teeth as he said, "A piece of trash like Lu Feng is just lucky. Now that his dog shit luck is over, I heard that the car that went to his shop is gone."


    Ren Qianbo enjoyed the praise, but he was also an experienced businessman. He knew one thing very well. A lion fighting a rabbit would also use a rabbit. He looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked, "He used your house, right?"


    "That''s right!"


    "He cheated you so badly, and you even gave him a house. Isn''t that insulting?"


    Zhou Jianguo realized this and was infuriated. He stood up and shouted, "I''m going to chase him away right now! Damn it; he¡¯s going too far."


    "This is what you call a young man." Ren Qianbo remarked.


    The goods began to pile up again in the workshop. Datou squatted at the door with a worried look on his face. Lu Feng wondered if he should go home and sleep. Then he saw a motorcycle racing over from afar.


    When he saw Zhou Jianguo, Lu Feng smiled; he knew Ren Qianbo would not be able to sleep, and as expected, he had summoned Zhou Jianguo as his knife.


    "Lu Feng, I''ll allow you to move out till tomorrow morning; else, don''t me me for being forceful!" Zhou Jianguo pointed at Lu Feng and cursed, "This is my mother''s house, you know?"


    Datou stood up and argued, "Why are you talking like that to brother? Back then, we agreed to have a free house."


    "F*ck off. What bullshit brother? Let me tell you, if you don''t move by tomorrow morning, you are going to regret it."Zhou Jianguo said arrogantly.


    Sun Longbin, standing by the side, said a few words.


    "Ren Qianbo sent you here, right?" Lu Feng asked.


    Just as Zhou Jianguo was about to agree, Sun Longbin acted smartly. He hurriedly said," No, it''s just that he wants to take back what is his. You are taking it by force, you understand?


    "If I don''t move, what can you do? At that time, you agreed to it. It''s a verbal agreement. You have the guts to tell me!" Lu Feng sneered and said, "As for the other schemes you have, please go ahead."


    "Sure, if you don''t move, it is going to get bloody!" Zhou Jianguo said viciously.


    "No problem. Whatever happens, it will all be on your head. I''ll pay $50,000 for a leg of yours. Do you think you can offer more money than me to stop it?" Lu Feng looked at him with a smile on his face. However, that smile made Zhou Jianguo''s entire body turn cold. He was scared out of his wits.


    $50,000?


    It was well more than enough. The price was so high that it was scary.


    "Just you wait!" Zhou Jianguo made a vicious remark and turned to leave.


    On the way back, Sun Longbin said unhappily, "He''s too arrogant. In the past, he was just ackey behind us. We have to teach him a lesson and find someone!"


    "Who are you looking for?" Zhou Jianguo roared, "If he says he''ll buy my leg for $50,000, I have to look for someone. F*ck, I cannot risk getting hurt!"


    Sun Longbin remained silent because he knew Lu Feng could use 50,000 dors. They were no longer worthy of fighting him!

 Chapter 28 - Kick The Door

    Trantor:BrightEyes


    Editor:Ersted


    Today was the worst day of business since the workshop started production. The night shift workers had arrived and were dumbfounded as they looked at the piled-up goods.


    Han Dong was a responsible man. He walked to Lu Feng''s side and said, "Boss, if you really can''t do it, just let the night shift workers rest for a bit. We¡¯re storing up so much stuff; they¡¯re afraid we won''t be able to sell it."


    "No need, continue the production. The fruits are already here; they will rot if not processed soon." Lu Feng waved, and Datou walked over. "Tomorrow morning, we''llpromise and increase themission to 4 cents. Release the news tonight. If theye, we''ll load their cars."


    Two days ago, they were scared to even think about the current condition; but now, they did not think much of it. Even if it turned to five or six cents, they could do nothing.


    After giving the order, the night shift workers started their respective work. Lu Feng was about to head home when Ren Qianbo¡¯s car drove by the workshop; its speed was very slow. He looked at the vendors loading the goods in small numbers and smiled.


    Lu Feng also saw him but chose to ignore him. He rode his motorcycle home. Ren Qianbo stepped on the elerator to follow him. Lu Feng slowed down, afraid of being in an ident.


    if it weren''t for the intensepetition in this market, the profit would still be around 200 to 300 thousand dors a month. This amount was enough to drive an ordinary person crazy.


    "Boss Lu is going home?" Ren Qianbo asked as he drove his car slowly beside Lu Feng.


    "That''s right. Boss Ren shouldn¡¯t need money to refuel; you¡¯re burning oil in this car."


    "You saw it today too. As long as I use a little bit of strength, you won''t be able to stand. You had a profit of seven to eight thousand dors a day in the past. Today, you have a profit of one thousand dors? I''m afraid the profit is not enough, right?" Ren Qianbo said deliberately," Young man, you''ve already earned enough. You have to know how to be content."


    "Content?" Lu Fengughed and sneered, "You need to know how to be content. You drive a car of over 200,000 dors, and you own a food factory, yet you''repeting with me, this little boss. Who is the one not content here?"


    "Sure, I didn''t see it." Ren Qianbo was not angry. He said, "My money can kill you. If you give them four cents, I''ll give them five."


    "You have a lot of money, and you can give as much as you want., but it''s not safe to talk while driving. I''ll go home first." Lu Feng turned the elerator and flew away.


    Ren Qianbo stepped on the elerator to catch up and shouted, "Don''t use eggs to hit stones! You''ll make a lot more money with me. All of you will be paid well. Young man, listen to my advice."


    "I want to give it a try. I want to use eggs to beat stones; however, your words that persuade mypetitors cost me money. How about this? Give me five dors and let me quit. It''s better than this nonsense."


    Ren Qianbo changed his mind and quit his convincing speech. He did not expect this person to be like a rock in a pit, stinking and hard. He could not even get something beneficial from his mouth to get an advantage.


    "I won''t waste time with you. Go home and take good care of your wife and children. Remember to close the door when you sleep at night." Ren Qianbo finished speaking and flew his car away, leaving behind the dust in his surroundings.


    Lu Feng could not see the road ahead. He stopped his motorcycle with a gloomy expression. Rian Qianbo just threatened him!


    Wu Hongyu returned at noon and bragged in the unit building. He told people everywhere that Lu Feng was finished and his lucky days would end soon.


    He even boasted that he would be a lead manager in the Wanyuan Factory, and he would manage to recruit some of his friends under him.


    Wu Hongyu was not the only one who was angry. Everyone realized that He Yanli had note backst night. When she returned this afternoon, she had lots of bags and wore new clothes. They weren¡¯t cheap at all.


    Furthermore, they were the same as the ones Jiang Xiaoyan had bought. Almost all residents were chatting about it. After being widowed for so many years, she could be considered a big boss now.


    Wu Hongyu''s dining table was filled with pig''s meat along with a bottle of white wine and three types of stir-fried meals.


    The dishes were extravagant. Old Wu (Wu Renyi) put a piece of pork into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He said, "Son, you''re too concerned with that widow He Yanli. She''s rich. What woman doesn¡¯t have?"


    "I know, Dad. I understand now. I''ll follow Boss Ren well!" Wu Hongyu took a sip of his wine. His expression was sinister as he swiftly took a bite of his dish said, "F*ck, we both are thirty years old. Now it''s my turn. I will be even more awesome than Lu Feng!"


    "Son, I don''t think you should push Lu Feng too far. If Boss Ren causes Lu Feng to fall, you won¡¯t be able to use him anymore. You have to understand."


    "Why do you think your son is so dumb as to follow Boss Ren as a faithful dog?"


    Lu Feng rode his motorcycle back and Parked it at his friend¡¯s ce. Everyone stayed silent when he passed by. Their gazes fell on him, more or less.


    Lu Feng sneered. The world is always the same, cruel and selfish, no matter what era you choose. They do not want to be alone, but they also don¡¯t want to be evenly matched. In the past, he was a scoundrel. Everyone treated him as a joke and even when they met. Now that he was rich, it is funny how he is being reclused.


    Jiang Xiaoyan had finished work and was busy in the kitchen. The aroma of rice wafted out. Duo Duo sat on the bed and yed with her toys. Lu Feng entered the room, and the little girl¡¯s face exploded with joy. She crawled out of bed and shouted," Daddy''s back! He''s back!"


    "Wash your hands and prepare for dinner." Jiang Xiaoyan poked her head out and informed.


    The dining table: Jiang Xiaoyan talked about happenings in the building today. She nced at Lu Feng and said, "He Yanli bought a set of clothes that''s the same as mine. She swayed around here and there. I heard that she''s hooked up with a big boss. She probably gave up on you."


    "I don''t care about her. What are you thinking?" Lu Feng retorted. "That Wu Hongyu has been going too fartely, spreading rumors that our factory is closing down."


    "There''s no need to bother. If we really can¡¯t do it, let''s move to another ce."


    Lu Feng also wanted to buy a house; unfortunately,mercial houses weren¡¯t avable. Only a worker''s house could be built, that too by himself. Commercial houses wouldn''t appear until the early 1990s.


    Post dinner, Lu Feng coaxed Duo Duo to sleep, and Jiang Xiaoyan washed the dishes. Lu Feng felt a little bored; he considered buying a TV set.


    Jiang Xiaoyan was a little absent-minded as she washed the dishes. She turned to look at Lu Feng quietly. Since thest dinner, her treatment at the electronics factory had changed entirely.


    Wang Lan would asionally greet her with a few words of courtesy. The supervisor who had been looking for a fight with her in the past was also polite. She knew it was all because of Lu Feng.


    A few girls were chatting at the factory that, when Lu Feng gets rich, he will not bother with Jiang Xiaoyan; she would have to change his mind and make him pay more attention to her. She cannot let him find Little pleasure outside. A couple''s life should be harmonious.


    Jiang Xiaoyan smiled in response.


    Harmony?


    The two of them have been married for such a long time and haven¡¯t even shared a room. A few weeks ago, he wasn''t a good person, but now Lu Feng was better than most men.


    But he did not take the initiative. Could it be that he wanted her to take the initiative?


    Perhaps he already had a woman outside. With his current possession of money, even if he did not have He Yanli, he could still have Li Yanli and Zhang Yanli.


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s heart was a mess. In the past, people who worshipped Buddha begged Bodhisattva for her man to be better. Now that he was better, she had other worries. After washing the dishes, she took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative. They have been married for too long for being shy.


    She tidied up her clothes. She wore a dress she had bought yesterday and was sure it looked gorgeous. She walked out of the kitchen and asked Lu Feng, "Is she asleep?"


    "Shh!" Lu Feng nodded.


    "Let''s get some rest.¡±


    Jiang Xiaoyan walked towards Lu Feng''s bed in embarrassment. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of someone kicking the door.


    Bang!


    TL Note:-


    It¡¯s a rat race out there. A lot is happening around Lu Feng at the moment. Who is stabbing who? Read and find out more...

 Chapter 29 - Youre threatening Me?

    The kicked door echoed an intense sound. Apanied by the noise outside, Jiang Xiaoyan was shocked. Lu Feng hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Don''t be afraid!"


    "Who is it? Who went crazy in the middle of the night and kicked my door!"


    "Lu Feng! If you have the guts,e out! I won''t beat you to death!" Wu Hongyu''s voice sounded from outside the door.


    Following that, seven or eight people started moring. Hearing the crashing sounds of sticks, it is evident that they were at a loss for words. Lu Feng immediately recalled Ren Qianbo¡¯s statement before he left and understood the circumstances.


    "Wu Hongyu, are you crazy!?" Jiang Xiaoyan cursed.


    Lu Feng hurriedly pulled her aside. The current Wu Hongyu was leaning against Ren Qianbo and could do anything.


    "This is harassment." Jiang Xiaoyan muttered.


    "It''s fine. Don¡¯t bother. You''ve fallen asleep more often. Go lie down on my bed." Lu Feng whispered.


    "Yes!"


    The noise outside the door had already attracted the attention of many of the neighbors. Li Da Fang brought a chair and sat near the door, eating melon seeds. Her mood was ineffably good.


    The door was a wooden one, but it was not very sturdy. It was easy for seven or eight burly men to kick it open. Wu Hongyu knew that he could do it all at once.


    After kicking a few times, he took out a stick and smashed the door. After cursing for a while, he went back.


    It waste at night, and the room was dry and warm. The bed was not huge; sleeping on it alone provided enough space but the two of them on one bed proved to be a bit suffocating. Jiang Xiaoyan curled up into a ball; although they were usually together, they were so close right now that it made her feel like she was a rabbit.


    "Wu Hongyu must be crazy. I''ve recently discovered that the people in the building seem to have a problem with our family." Jiang Xiaoyanined.


    "There''s been a lot going ontely, be careful. Don''t think so much; just go to sleep," As Lu Feng spoke, he wrapped his arm around her waist to sleep.


    Jiang Xiaoyan was startled by this sudden intimate action, and her body tensed up instantly. Her face turned red like a monkey''s butt. She did not dare move for a few minutes, afraid that he would mess around.


    Only when she heard his slight snoring did her heart rx, she was slightly disappointed. She turned around and looked at Lu Feng; his face looked handsome in the dark.


    The two of them went to sleep, face to face.


    The same night, Datou informed the vendors about the new price.


    The following day, the sky was bright, and the workshop¡¯s doors were filled with cars that came to pick up goods.


    Jiang Xiaoyan opened her eyes and realized that Lu Feng was awake. Their eyes met, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She asked, "You woke up so early?"


    "I have been awake for half an hour!" Lu Feng said shyly.


    "Then why didn''t you get up?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, confused.


    "Looking at your beauty. Baby, if you''re going to participate in a beauty pageant, as long as there are no dirty tricks, you''ll be the champion." Lu Feng said sincerely.


    Baby?


    To Jiang Xiaoyan, this name wasn''t just a dumb name. It made her scalp go numb.


    "You!"You!! What are you calling me? Call me by my name!"


    "Why are you blushing so early in the morning? You have a fever?"Lu Feng reached out to touch her forehead in confusion.


    Jiang Xiaoyan couldn''t handle it. She hesitantly got up and said, "Get up quickly. Don''t learn from those acts on television in the future. That kind of speech will make peopleugh, understand?"


    Lu Feng understood what had gone wrong. Hey on the bed and smiled. He thought to himself, "You''re so pure, but that''s true. At the beginning of 2000, if you called some dear or baby, they would feel nauseous. If you were to kiss or hug in public, it would be shocking."


    Not to mention now?


    Lu Feng hadn''t seen a shy girl like Jiang Xiaoyan for who knows how many years. He got up and went to the kitchen to get his fill of teasing. He hugged her from behind.


    He whispered in her ear, "Dear, you''re so beautiful!"


    "You, you!" Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious and embarrassed beyond logic.


    "Daddy, shame-shame!" Duo Duo got up and stared at the two of them, hugging.


    "Aiya!" Jiang Xiaoyan couldn''t take it. She pushed him away and said with an angry face, "What''s a grown man doing in the kitchen? Go get dressed!"


    After dinner, Lu Feng opened the door and noticed it was filled with holes. He closed the door and went down the stairs. The neighbors he met along the way had mocking smiles.


    It was as if they were saying, ¡®looks like your good days are over!


    Lu Feng arrived at the workshop on his motorcycle, and Datou ran over to him excitedly," Brother Feng, all the inventory from yesterday is shipped! Zhou Jianguo just came here to ask if you''re here. He didn''t leave a message and left."


    "Was everything alrightst night?" Lu Feng asked.


    "It was fine. What''s wrong?"


    "Last night, someone smashed my apartment door with a stick. Be careful; It¡¯s an action-packed time!" Lu Feng sighed, lit a cigarette, and said, "It''s just the beginning. We don¡¯t have all the tricks, but we won''t let them go easy."


    "It can''t be. There''s another big matter. Those small workshops are all closed." Datou thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Wang Yao doesn''t do food anymore, so we¡¯re the only ones left with WanYuan!"


    Ren Qianbo indeed has some tricks up his sleeve. He had quietly taken care of the few workshops. Now that he is the only one left, he was unwilling to spend much time on it. It would be damaging for his profits.


    "I don''t care how many people Wan Yuan draws tomorrow. We¡¯ll give our vendors five cents!"


    "Five cents?" Datou was shocked. Initially, the fruits were cheap, and the profits were high. Now, the prices of fruits in the local rural market have gone up. No matter how ugly it was, the gains were further reduced withbor.


    "The profits have been very low these past few days."


    "As long as you have something to earn, y with him. Even if you earn one or two thousand a day, what else can you do that earns one or two thousand a day?" Lu Feng looked at Datou and said, "Don''t concentrate on creating a lot of profit for a few days. Profit isn¡¯t the problem for now."


    It was the beginning of August. After September, the local fruits were basically gone. If Ren Qianbo wanted to earn money, it would depend on the next 20 days.


    The past few days were crazy.


    In the WanYuan Factory''s office, He Yanli was dressed very coquettishly. She said arrogantly to Zhou Jianguo and the others opposite her, "What''s the point in asking you guys? President Ren can handle this matter himself!"


    Ren Qianbo looked at the folder on the table. Yesterday, the profit from simple canned food in the countryside was over 4,000. This was the result of the high draw. Lu Feng had the majority of the market share.


    If he did it alone, it would be as if he was ying around with 10,000 dors a day.


    Such a colossal profit made his eyes turn red. He stood up and gave instructions before driving out.


    At the workshop entrance, Lu Feng smoked a cigarette and chatted with a few vendors. Ren Qianbo drove over, got out of the car, and headed straight for Lu Feng.


    "Boss Lu looks good. It looks like he had a good restst night."


    "You have to sleep well to earn well; you¡¯re sleeping soundly. I''m just afraid that someone will have a bad night''s sleep." Lu Feng looked at him with a smile.


    "Really? You want to y with me, right?" The smile on Ren Qianbo''s face disappeared. He pointed at Lu Feng and said,'' ''Then I''ll y with you. When I''m serious, you won''t even be able to choke."


    "I''m so scared!" Lu Feng replied mockingly.


    "If you want to stay alive, I advise you to close the door early." Ren Qianbo snapped.


    Lu Feng frowned and red at him. "You''re threatening me?"


    "We''ll know if it¡¯s a threat." Ren Qianbo shouted at his surroundings, "Go to WanYuan and sell out a can, each for five cents."


    "We will do six cents!" Lu Feng shouted.

 Chapter 30 - Im His Big Brother

    Ren Qianboughed and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder, "Boss Lu can give you six cents. How forthright!"


    He had already said it, so it was now six cents. He definitely will not dare to raise it today. He can earn money every day, but I can tell that things aren¡¯t too good from his words.


    "Datou!" Lu Feng called Datou over and said, "Be careful. It''s not peaceful today."


    "Got it!"


    The daytime time was stable, and the goods were shipped smoothly. However, the quality of the fruits decreased, and the shipments increased, but the profits fell. Till sunset, the gains had dropped from the peak of 10,000 dors to 1,800 dors today.


    Lu Feng''s funds were close to 250,000. This money was enough for him to build a factory from scratch. Even if he didn¡¯t earn a single cent, it would not matter if he yed with Ren Qianbo.


    After arranging for everything in the evening, Lu Feng bought some food and rushed home. Jiang Xiaoyan changed into a new set of clothes and put on her high heels, looking tall and elegant. She could feel that she was bing more and more feminine recently.


    The smile on her face scattered radiance.


    While eating, Lu Feng said that he wanted to buy a TV. Jiang Xiaoyan advised him to spend less money. Suddenly, there was an angry knock on the door.


    "It''s Wu Hongyu again?"


    Lu Feng furrowed his brows. This wasn''t something that happened every day. Just as he was about to speak, Datou''s voice came from outside the door." Brother Feng, are you home? Something happened."


    Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat. He cried out loud; something was wrong and swiftly opened the door. Datou was out of breath as he shouted, "Someone smashed our workshop and is still looking to hit someone."


    "Who is it?"


    "I don''t know. I heard it on the road and rushed there. I didn''t wait to say anything. I went up with a stick to smash and hit him." Datou was so anxious that he was about to cry.


    "What should we do?" Jiang Xiaoyan was at a loss for words.


    "I''ll go take a look." As Lu Feng spoke, he was about to leave,


    "Don''t go. What if you get beaten up?" Jiang Xiaoyan pulled him and refused to let go.


    "It''s fine. Lock the door and don¡¯t open no matter who knocks." Lu Feng turned his head and walked away. Jiang Xiaoyan had not experienced anything remotely simr to this. She was so nervous that she could not even eat. She sat on the bed with her arms around her daughter as she mumbled to herself, hoping that he would be safe.


    Lu Feng climbed down the stairs and turned to Datou, "Get in the car!"


    "Brother Feng, it must be Ren Qianbo who sent them. He smashed all the ss bottles and even the packaging machine. Why don''t we find some people before going over? Sister-inw¡¯s (Jiang Xiaoyan¡¯s) worries are reasonable." Datou sat in the back seat and spoke.


    "Datou, remember this. Brother Feng isn''t a good person. As for those b*stards, they scared me away. I don''t want to open the factory either.¡± Lu Fengmanded, then sighed.


    These people are people of the streets, dangerous people.


    ¡°Should we just go home and be diaper washers?"


    After he finished speaking, he turned the elerator and sped away.


    The workshop was in a mess. The main wires were cut off, and the workers were gathered in a room. They could see shattered ss, dented cans, and scattered soup everywhere.


    "Boss Lu is here!"


    "Boss Lu, what should we do?"


    Lu Feng parked his motorcycle and asked, "Where are they?"


    Han Dong walked over and reported, "He ran away after breaking the fuse wire. There''s no one else."


    "Was he hurt?" Lu Feng asked.


    "No!"


    "Everyone, close the doors and windows, connect the electricity, pack-up and go home. We''ll pay you for tonight." Lu Feng instructed.


    "Do you want us to work tomorrow?"


    Lu Feng went inside and examined the workshop with a shlight. The attackers had already damaged the packaging machine. It was tough to find someone who could repair this imported packaging machine.


    "Everyone, calm down. The packaging machine is broken, and this workshop can''t continue. If you want to continue working with me, everyone, go back and wait for me for a week. This small workshop is too small. I want to set up arge factory. Soon,e directly to work. If you want a sry,e and get it tomorrow morning."


    The crowd was chattering among themselves. Most of them were asking for their sries. There were too many unpaid sries, and no one could believe it!


    The workers dispersed. Datou looked at the mess inside and was discouraged as he squatted on the ground. He wanted to work here for a few more years. It had only been a short time, and it was over.


    Han Dong walked over and said, "Boss Lu, I want to follow you to the new factory!"


    Lu Feng nodded and asked," Which bastard is famous here?"


    "Brother Feng, what are you doing?" Datou felt that something was wrong.


    "It won''t be that easy to break down my workshop. I''ll break it down today and make a new factory tomorrow. If anyone dares toe here, they''ll have to first scare these criminals into doing their business. No matter how much money someone gives them, they''ll have to reconsider it."


    Although calm, Lu Feng''s words were cold; they made a chill run down Datou and Han Dong¡¯s spines. In their eyes, Lu Feng was a smiling person who was easy to talk to; however, at this moment, he was showing ruthlessness, causing the two of them to tremble with fear.


    "I know a guy called Mad Dog. Everyone has to give him respect, and he is at Monopoly." Han Dong said.


    Lu Feng nodded and extinguished his cigarette. He stood up, "You two go back and rest early."


    "Brother Feng, what are you going to do?" Datou stared at Lu Feng and said, "Don''t go. Those people are especially ruthless. You don''t want to fight with them."


    "Yeah, they smashed the workshop when you weren¡¯t involved; god knows what they will do if you do get actively involved." Han Dong also persuaded.


    "Hur, Hur!" Lu Feng smiled. "In the ranks of themoners, the truly ruthless ones are always merchants. Go back and sleep."


    "I''ll go with you!"


    "I''ll go too. If there''s anything, I''ll take care of it." Datou and Han Dong insisted.


    Lu Feng was silent. The three of them rode their motorcycles towards the city center. The Monopoly was a dance hall. The current dance hall was equivalent to a nightclub in the modern era. It was chaotic and expensive.


    Unlike the dance za many yearster, the discos in the ballroom had caused countless couples to fall apart.


    It was 10 p.m., and the entire city was asleep. Only the dance music here was exciting. The colorful lights and graceful dance steps were a great veil to cover the illegal business.


    "Boss, do you want to dance?" A beautiful girl in exposed clothes offered.


    ¡±Scram!" Lu Feng sneered.


    Lu Feng waved his hands repeatedly after being invited by the dancers. Common people would not dare toe to a ce like this. They could not afford to dance with those girls.


    Datou and Han Dong stared at him with wide eyes. Tonight was an eye-opener. The two of them even felt that Lu Feng often came here as he acted familiar.


    They did not know that he was a nightclub prince in his previous life.


    The dancers were either standing or sitting, and a woman in her forties was seated in the front. She was smoked and chatted happily. Lu Feng walked up to her and stared at her.


    "Why are you looking at me? Why don''t you look at the many girls here? Why are you looking at an old woman like me?" The woman looked up at Lu Feng with some dissatisfaction.


    "I''m looking for someone." Lu Feng inquired.


    "I don''t know him!"


    "I''m looking for Mad Dog. Where is he?"


    "Why are you looking for Brother Dog? Who are you?" The woman sized up Lu Feng.


    "I''m his friend!" Han Dong chimed in.


    Mad Dog''s reputation was very high out here. Who was not afraid in front of him?


    Datou admired Lu Feng. No matter the situation, he was calm and did not have any stage fright, as if it was real.


    "Just tell me where he is. I''m in a bad mood today. Consider the consequences before you make me angry." As Lu Feng spoke, he took out a cigarette and threw it into his mouth. His actions were very graceful.


    "Everyone here is one of us. Don''t be angry." A smile appeared on the woman''s face as she stood up and said, "I''ll go inform Brother Dog, Yanyan and Lili, apany this Brother till then!"


    The two slender women with thick makeup agreed and walked towards Lu Feng with a smile.


    "Get lost!" Lu Feng shouted!


    Yan Yan and Lili were so scared that they dared not step forward.

 Chapter 31 - Peak Ruthlessness

    Datou and Han Dong were so scared that they did not dare say anything. Datou was rtively fine; after all, it was Han Dong''s first time apanying Lu Feng through thepetition.


    Mad Dog''s personality was arrogant, and fighting was amon urrence. Lu Feng did not know anyone and rushed to look for him. He still looked like he was bullsh*ting and was afraid of getting beaten to a pulp.


    "Boss Lu, let''s go back. It will be better if you don''t get involved. I don¡¯t want to know how ruthless he is." Han Dong advised.


    "It''s fine. No matter how hard he seems, he''ll still call me Brother!" Lu Feng showed his optimism.


    The woman walked down and said, "Brother Dog wants you to go up."


    Lu Feng led the way. There was a private room upstairs, and six young men were standing at the door, who stared at Lu Feng with a hostile expression as they entered.


    Inside was a mahjong table where four people were ying the game. A man with long hair sat opposite him. He had an unruly expression and asked, "Didn''t you just say that someone was looking for me?"


    Lu Feng walked up and said," I''m looking for you!"


    Brother Dog raised his head and stared at Lu Feng. He sized him up and sneered,


    "Do you think you''re my f*cking brother?"


    "Hahahaha!"


    "It''s the first time I''ve seen someone so idiotic." The boys nearbymented.


    "I''m happy today, so I''ll give you two choices: First, kneel and kowtow to make everyone happy. Second, I''ll p you." Mad Dog casually said.


    "I chose the third choice to be your big brother!" Lu Feng took out 300 dors from his bag and threw it on the table.


    "What the f*ck do you think I am? A beggar?" Brother Dog looked at the money angrily and pointed at Lu Feng. "Do you think that I can¡¯t kill you?"


    Datou and Han Dong stood outside the door. When they saw this scene, their palms were covered in sweat. If there was a disagreement, they were no match for the opponent.


    Lu Feng took out another thousand dors from his bag and threw it on the table.


    Even though Brother Dog was doing well, he still had his eyes wide open, seeing so much money; however, it was hard for him to say anything with his subordinates watching.


    Lu Feng read the silence, took out seven hundred, and threw them on the table. He said," I''ll make it up to you!"


    Brother Gou stood up and looked at Lu Feng with a friendly expression." Brother, how should I address you? Little brother? don''t be ridiculous!"


    Brother Dog had been in this line of business for many years and understood one thing very clearly. He did not want to offend rich people. These rich people had aplicated rtionship, and even a lousy greeting could kill him.


    Although he had never seen Lu Feng before, he was not amon entity.


    "In public, Brother Feng!" Lu Feng sat down in his chair and looked at Mad Dog. " I just want to ask you something. Who smashed my factory today?"


    "Did Brother Feng''s factory get smashed?" Mad Dog looked around and asked, "Have you heard of someone smashing a factory?"


    "Brother Dog, I heard that someone from four monkeys took a job and smashed a cannery!"


    Everyone was mumbling about the Four Monkeys. There were seven or eight people on the other side of the street, and they had just made a name for themselves recently.


    Lu Feng''s matter could be considered a show of power.


    "Brother, this person has already bullied my brother. Can you continue to watch out for us?" Lu Feng stared at Mad Dog and said," I''m very loyal to my brothers. If you don''t mistreat me, I will treat you well, understand?"


    Mad Dog understood what he meant. He mmed the mahjong table and shouted, "F*ck, who dares my to provoke Brother Feng. These bastards don''t want to live anymore. They had to vent their anger on Brother Feng. They''ll gain some ¡®good¡¯ memories today. Let''s go now."


    Mad Dog led more than a dozen people on a motorcycle towards the suburbs. The battle was one-sided. In less than ten minutes, four monkeys were lying on the ground.


    "Brother Feng, it''s him!" Datou shouted.


    He covered his head with his hands and wailed endlessly on the ground.


    The member of the four monkeys looked at Lu Feng and understood. He hurriedly said," Don''t hit me. It''s someone named Wu Hongyu who gave me 50 dors to smash your canning workshop."


    Lu Feng initially thought it was Ren Qianbo, but he did not expect him to wear white gloves(1)!


    "I was wrong. Please forgive me. I know my mistake now." The four monkeys¡¯ member begged.


    "I know. You''re young and don''t know anything about it; besides, I know who the person who attacked me was. Even if it weren''t for you, he still had to find five monkeys and six pigs." Lu Feng said calmly.


    "You''re right. I won¡¯t dare to touch your factory no matter how much others pay me in the future."


    The four monkeys repeatedly promised. Lu Feng nodded and smiled. He stood up and said to Mad Dog," Break his legs!"


    Mad Dog was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the smiling Lu Feng to blurt such cruel words. Even he could not react.


    Tonight, Lu Feng wanted to show off his power to these bastards so that Ren Qianbo wouldn''t get used to this move. Next time, he won¡¯t order them around as they would break one of his legs to avoid future trouble.


    This was the first time that Datou and Han Dong witnessed Lu Feng''s ruthlessness. Han Dong could sense that Lu Feng was not someone who acted impulsively. Everything he did, he had his interests to consider. He did whatever he wanted, to earn. There was no fear or hesitation.


    It would be difficult for a person who was so calm and focused on his interests not to seed. But if he were too ruthless, like a cold-blooded animal, those who were useless to him would be abandoned.


    A high-pitched scream rang out in the night sky. Many people shivered in fear. Lu Feng took out 2,000 dors from his bag and ced it in Mad Dog''s hand. He said softly, "Thank you, Brother Dog."


    "You''re wee. If there''s anything you need in the future, Brother Feng, please don''t hesitate to ask." Mad Dog looked at the money in his hand. The more Lu Feng gave, the higher Mad Dog estimated the status of the other party to be.


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the clock on the wall, anxious. The sleeping little girl was in her arms; afraid something might happen to her.


    She put Duo Duo on the bed. She did not n to wait any longer. She was about to go out when Lu Feng''s voice rang out from outside the door, "Open the door!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan opened the door. She had been worried for the entire night, seeing him return unharmed; she could not hold back her emotions and threw herself into his arms.


    Lu Feng was stunned by this sudden hug. He hurried into the room and closed the door." What''s wrong?"


    "You scared me to death. I didn''t hear from you for so long." As Jiang Xiaoyan spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.


    "Don¡¯t cry!" Lu Feng wiped her tears and felt astonished. Now that he didn''t hit her, he felt like she was crying more than before.


    "Is the workshop okay?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, about to sob.


    Lu Feng exined that night¡¯s events to Jiang Xiaoyan; She was scared silly. After a long while, she shouted, "Did you break someone''s leg?"


    "If I don''t teach him a lesson, he''ll never stop in the future. It''ll be like knocking on a mountain for shaking a tiger. By the way, I''m going to set up a factory officially. I''ll pay the workers tomorrow and start construction of a new factory."


    Lu Feng looked at Jiang Xiaoyan with certainty.


    However, there was only one thing left in Jiang Xiaoyan''s mind. He had broken someone¡¯s legs. Ever since he started doing business, she had been on edge every day.


    She was just a young woman. She wanted to live her own life, but she did not want to be on edge at all times. She looked at Lu Feng and said, "The child needs her father. We''re not doing it anymore, okay? We''ve earned money that no one else can earn in their lifetime."

 Chapter 32 - Happy Too Early

    They had too much money in Jiang Xiaoyan''s eyes. Two hundred thousand was beyond her imagination, but she was oblivious of the fact that ten yearster, she would not even be able to buy a toilet with this amount.


    Lu Feng gazed into her eyes and reached out to touch her long ck hair. "What is too much money? Don''t worry, I¡¯ll settle everything and let you live a good life. It''s time for us to change houses!"


    "Where should we change to? I''ll find one in a few days." Jiang Xiaoyan whispered.


    "Get some rest!"


    Lu Feng was lying on the bed, wondering what type of factory he should open. There was a huge range between all walks of life; whether it was clothing, food, toys, or household goods, there was a huge market in many fields.


    During this period, Ren Qianbo used all his methods. Lu Feng originally wanted to earn another ten thousand but did not have the chance.


    Thinking about it for a while, if one were to make money, it would have to be children''s food. Wan Yuan Food Factory was heading in this direction; anyway, they could do whatever industry they wanted.


    The next morning: the workshop was full of employees. The vendors that had been shipping goods and weren¡¯t aware of the incident the night before stopped at the door with a dumbfounded look on their faces.


    Lu Feng arrived early to pay the workers. The vendors who had taken cans from inventory the day before had to be paid as well.


    "Boss Lu, you must have made Wan Yuan''s Boss Ren mad, right?" Someone asked from the side.


    "I don''t know. "Lu Feng smiled.


    "Boss Lu, you can''t beat them; you''re just making a little money. The kind of people who open big factories haveplicated rtionships. They''re notmon people."


    "That''s right. You''ve earned a lot of money, but you''ve also lost a lot after a few days."


    Everyone started muttering, pretending to know the internal story. Lu Feng did not ask around too much. In their eyes, Lu Feng clearly could not beat Ren; the workshop had been smashed to a miserable state, and Lu Feng could not even lift his finger. He was going to be killed soon, they thought.


    Only Wu Hongyu perhaps knew how ruthless Lu Feng was, he went to look for Four Monkeys early in the morning to ask how things were going. The result, he was in hospital with his broken leg.


    As the workshop had stopped manufacturing, only Wan Yuan''s factory was left with canned food business in the countryside; yesterday, themission had risen to six cents, but today, it was reduced to one.


    Manyined, but for the sake of their livelihood, they had to continue.


    Ren Qianbo heard about Lu Feng in his office. The workers had been dismissed and the machines remained broken; It was obvious that he had given up. He had been fighting for less than ten days and admitted defeat already.


    "This market is great. It is an essential item and the profits are very good. I should thank him." Ren Qianbo pondered for a while before continuing, "I want to treat him to a meal. Let¡¯s make a reservation at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Call over all his good friends."


    At eleven o''clock in the morning, all payments were settled. Lu Feng examined his ount book and asked, "How much is a factory building of five to six hundred m2?"


    "You want to buy one?" Datou asked.


    "Even if I can afford it, I won''t have anything left to buy other necessary resources. It must be a rental." Lu Feng looked at Datou and Han Dong and asked, "Know one?"


    "I know a sugar factory that used to be over 800 square meters. It''s huge!" Han Dong voiced his thoughts and said, "I don''t think it''s cheap. One to two thousand a month!"


    One or two thousand was not cheap. Han Dong wasn¡¯t sure about them making a profit this time, he had to suggest carefully; however, Lu Feng felt that it to be just right. The factory was big, so he did not need to look for another ce for expansion.


    "Let''s go take a look in the afternoon, but let''s eat first." As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, a middle-aged man flew over to the workshop on his motorcycle.


    "Boss Lu, right?" The man sized them up and asked.


    "Yes, who¡¯s asking?¡± Lu Feng looked at him in confusion.


    "I''m the manager of the Wan Yuan Food Factory. We''re treating you to a meal today at the Grand Hyatt Hotel¡± The other party did not waste their breath after dering and left momentarily.


    "We don''t have any enmity with Ren Qianbo. He''s treating us to dinner, we don''t need to confirm. We now know that he''s showing off his might." Datou was dissatisfied and said in a low voice, "Isn¡¯t he just bullying us?"


    "It''s nothing. Let''s go!" Lu Feng waved his hand and rode his motorcycle towards the Grand Hyatt Hotel.


    On the sixth floor of The Grand Hyatt Hotel, inside a private room, many familiar faces were present. He Yanli sat beside President Ren, and looked stunning, she was well-dressed and looked even more feminine.


    Zhou Jianguo, Sun Longbin, and Wu Hongyu took their seats turn-wise. Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked in. He nced at everyone and said, "Aiyo, it''s so merry here. Looks like I''mte."


    "Boss Lu has a lot of matters to attend to, it''s not strange for him to bete. It is understandable that he''s clearing the ount today." Ren Qianbo''s words were filled with concern, but he couldn''t stop smiling. He called out, "Sit, sit!"


    Lu Feng sat down and looked at He Yanli, he said in surprise, "Aiyo, isn''t this Widow He? You''ve got another man? Look at how feminine you are."


    He Yanli coughed twice, her expression ugly.


    "Sister He has made aeback. CEO Ren''s factory is getting popr by the day. On the contrary, someone went bankrupt. It''s making peopleugh." Wu Hongyu praised him from the side.


    "Wu Hongyu? Haven''t you always been interested in He Yanli?" Lu Feng turned his head to look at Ren Qianbo and said, "Chief Ren, let me remind you to be careful. Using movies for reference, there are too many scenes with servants hooking-up with their mistress."


    Everyone''s expressions turned ugly; Lu Feng was obviously here to sow discord. Zhou Jianguo said, ¡°Alright, alright, everyone, raise your sses to toast to Wan Yuan Food Factory. It''s getting more popr."


    Everyone raised their sses. Only Datou and Han Dong were embarrassed and did not know if they should go with the crowd.


    "I also wish Boss Lu a happy return to the ranks ofmon people. You can''t call him Boss anymore. You don''t even have anyone working under you." Ren Qianbo sneered.


    Lu Feng lifted his cup and clinked it with Ren¡¯s." What are youughing about? Do you think you won?"


    "Isn''t that so?" Ren Qianbo shrugged and said proudly, "What can you do to me? Your workers have been dismissed."


    "It''s easy to find workers. Let me tell you a secret that I haven''t told anyone about, I''m nning to build a decent factory that mainly produces children food and canned food. Don''t think that you''ve won just yet. The war has only begun. One canned food factory lost in war is just coteral.


    Lu Feng said with a sinister smile, and gulped a mouthful of wine.


    Ren Qianbo''s face turned cold. Lu Feng had dared toe to attack back. "You--" he said.


    "If you have anything to say, go ahead." Lu Feng put down his ss and walked towards Wu Hongyu.


    He patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, don''t make a fool of yourself trying to be a tiger. You have to be careful of your legs."


    Wu HongYu back was drenched in cold sweat.


    "Take your time to celebrate, but let me tell you, it''s too early to be happy." Lu Feng beckoned towards Datou and Han Dong, they opened the door and the trio exited.

 Chapter 33 - Gift

    A burst ofughter permeated the air of the private room. Lu Feng''s words were like a joke to everyone present. In Ren Qianbo''s eyes, Lu Feng was able to earn money because heid his eyes on the rural market.


    If Ren had seen the potential in the rural market first, he would not have to worry about it. Now, Lu Feng was using the limited amount of money he had earned to set up his headquarters. It was really funny from his perspective.


    Han Dong originally thought Lu Feng was going to use the profit to expand the canned food production; although there was fiercepetition with Wan Yuan, there were still profits. He did not expect Lu Feng to enter the children''s snack field and fight with Ren Qianbo. Lu Feng was courting death from Han Dong¡¯s eyes?


    Ren Qianbo had millions!


    "Boss Lu you want to make food for children?" Han Dong caught up to him and said, "I think we should still make canned food; at least we''re familiar with it. If we throw so much money in an unknown field, we''ll lose out; furthermore, we''repeting with Wan Yuan Food! Really."


    Lu Feng stood up and smiled, "Afraid?"


    "We can''tpare to him in any way." Han Dong could not understand why Lu Feng was so confident. The market was fully grown, and various channels were upied. Even if there was a price war, they would not be able topete with such people with the limited money they possessed.


    Datou nodded as he listened. He felt Han Dong''s worries made sense. The conditions were allid out. Everyone could clearly see the chances of sess were basically non-existent.


    Lu Feng told the two with a serious expression, "ording to what you said, as long as apany upies the market and stabilizes the quality of its products, it can surely seed?"


    "If you''re someone like Qianbo, you deserve to be a factory owner?" Lu Feng showed an expression of disdain. He shook his head, "A person like him is a product of the circumstances. It''s the times that made him. The others don''t have the money to start a business. The market is very empty and the chances of sess are high!"


    "In my eyes, he is as fragile as a paper tiger." Lu Feng confidently added.


    "But your cannery has already closed down!" Datou gave an instant response.


    Han Dong nudged him and whispered, "Boss Lu is bragging. Don''t say anything!"


    Lu Feng could feel that they didn''t believe in him. Many things were tied down in this era, when they had to ask people about Taoism.


    "Trust me. It''s not easy to kick him out of the race." Lu Feng waved his hand, "Let''s head to that sugar factory."


    The sugar factory was originally a state-owned enterprise;ter, it was one of the first ones to be operated in a mixed system. People involved in it probably did not know theplications of shares.


    It had only been a few years, yet only one factory was left. The grass was growing in the courtyard, making it look deste. Thisnd was under the jurisdiction of the State Administration of the City. Han Dong happened to know the Section Chief in charge of this ce.


    "Which one of you wants to rent it?" An old man in his fifties or sixties sized up the three of them andnded his eyes steadily on the Datou.


    "Me! Thank you for your hard work." Lu Feng swiftly stuffed a pack of cigarettes he had bought into the Section Chief¡¯s shirt pocket. It was trivial for him to deal with the people of this area.


    "Wee, thisnd covers an area of 160 acres. It was originally a sugar factory and was closed down. There are warehouses, factories, offices, a finance building, a canteen, and so on." Chief Liang opened the rusty lock on the main door and said, "Let''s go in and have a look."


    It had been abandoned for two years. The grass here was the height of an adult man. Lu Feng walked around and concluded it was not bad. Almost all the furniture in the buildings was present. Sofas, desk and chairs, all were present. The warehouse even had a pile of dried sugar and vegetables.


    "Chief Liang, are we renting on an annual basis? Or?"


    "Don''t ask me. I''m in charge of this ce, I''ll definitely want to rent it on an annual basis. It''s a loss to rent it monthly. You are a powerful person of course; do you propose something else?" Chief Liang gave Lu Feng a look that he understood well.


    "I wonder what the price is!" Lu Feng wanted to get to the bottom of the proposed deal or at least get to know something from the chief¡¯s mouth. He had an unexpected windfall, but he didn''t go into the depth.


    "How do you see it? If it''s appropriate, let us go to our ce to go through the formalities. By the way, what are you guys nning to do?"


    " Food processing: children food and canned food." Lu Feng ryed his prepared reply.


    Chief Liang frowned and looked at Lu Feng, "Do you know Ren Qianbo?"


    "Do you know him?" Lu Feng felt that this city was small. He just had lunch with him at noon and it seemed like he had met another acquaintance of his.


    "Of course, I know him. He''s rich now and he runs a simr type of factory. Seeing how young you are, I''ll tell you something. He''s already grown up. It''s not easy for you to survive against him. Do yourself a favor and find something else." Chief Liang suggested.


    "This is going to be difficult. What''s your rtionship with him?" Lu Feng mumbled.


    "About 20 years ago, he was in a civil servant and we were in the same department, the Municipal Archives Bureau. That kid was pretty good looking and smart. Our director''s daughter was also in the same department."


    Datou and Han Dong widened their eyes as they listened. They did not expect the story to proceed like so.


    "I''m sure he must have been dating someone else then," Datou said confidently.


    "Yes, that''s true. This person is too ruthless. Back then, his family had pretty good conditions. He was already engaged. When he returned home, he broke off his engagement. After he managed to propose the director''s daughter, he married into the family. He did not do much after he married her for a short while. He then established the Wan Yuan food." Division Chief Liang smacked his lips, remembering his youth, but there was also regret in his eyes for not chasing after thedy.


    Lu Feng never expected Ren Qianbo to be a visiting son-inw1. Now that he did not know how to deal with He Yanli, it was likely that his father-inw would not be able to deal with her as well. Otherwise, Ren would not have dared to cheat on his wife.


    "I¡¯ve talked too much, as you heard. This is the situation of the factory. You can see for yourselves." Chief Liang waved his hand and strode out of the door.


    The factory seemed great. Even if they rented it for $10,000 to $20,000 a year, it was still worth it. After seeing off Chief Liang, Lu Feng faced Datou and Han Dong, "The factory will be set-up here. Next will be the assembly line and the raw materials. This assembly line needs to be new, it''s best if it''s easy to repair and dismantle."


    "What are we doing?" Datou looked depressed.


    "We''ll make whatever the children eat, or we can say that we''ll do whatever Wan Yuan does."


    Lu Feng nced at the clock, It was 4:30 p.m. "Tomorrow, let''s integrate Wan Yuan''s resources with ours, we can ce an order if we need to. That is my only order. That means if he has something, and so do we."


    Datou and Han Dong stared at each other. They felt their chances of winning were not high. However, taking Wan Yuan''s resources was indeed the fastest; else, they would not make it for a week, let alone two months.


    Lu Feng watched the two of them. The biggest problem right now was theck of capable subordinates. He was a little out of line, so the two of them were worried.


    "No problem, right?"


    The two nodded. Lu Feng narrowed his eyes with a mischievous look and whispered, "There are still two or three hours left before night. How about we have some fun?"


    "Boss Lu don''t stare at us like that! You are really freaked me out!" Han Dong said timidly," What do you want to do?"


    "Do you two know where Ren Qianbo''s wife lives? He''s messed with me so many times, I have to give him a big gift!" Lu Feng chuckled.


    "Brother Feng you''re a married man, but if you have to take revenge on Ren Qianbo, then I guess it can¡¯t be helped. Sorry, sister-inw." sneered.


    Lu Feng was speechless when he heard this. Ren¡¯s wife was in her forties; it was sickening to think that the two morons though he did not love beautiful Jiang Xiaoyan and ogled at the olddy?


    "I''m going to tell her that Ren Qianbo cheated!" Lu Feng rebuked, "Let''s go!"

    TL Note:- I trust you are all enjoying the novel? If someone is patient enough, he may find something unsought for that would be beneficial to his sess. Let''s continue reading as the story unfolds.

 Chapter 34 - Talent

    Ren Qianbo''s wife was easy to enquire about. Anyone could tell that in recent years, there were beauty salons and a Hong Kong-style teahouse in the vicinity of the Wan Yuan Food Factory.


    There was only one Hong Kong-style teahouse in the locality and one next to the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Lu Feng realized it was easy to find someone in this era, a benefit of an undeveloped city.


    If it were in the next 20 to 30 years, who knows how many Hong Kong-style tea houses there would be. He turned to look at Datou and Han Dong, ¡°Get in the car, I''ll treat you to dinner tonight. You should eat some high-quality food to broaden your horizons."


    The two of them hurriedly got into the car, they then headed straight for the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The guests who came here to eat were mostly from the south on a business trip, and therefore, could not get used to it. Some came here just to pretend to be rich. They were like kids in a KFC.


    Eating here gives one a sense of nobility.


    Lu Feng walked in and looked around. His eyes were fixed on a woman in her forties. He sat down at a nearby table.


    "Thunder Monkey, please order!"(1) The waiter was speaking local Cantonese and Lu Feng''s scalp went numb.


    Datou and Han Dong were nervous. They felt the restaurant was even more expensive than the Tianyue Hotel next to it. They whispered, ¡°Do you speak Cantonese? What if he doesn''t understand?"


    "I''ll just say, lose your old mother, Soho, hen!"(2)


    Lu Feng almostughed when he heard their conversation. He ordered noodles, shrimp dumplings, and so on. After ordering the meal, he poured a cup of tea and looked at the woman in front of him.


    The woman in her forties was still eating alone. She was truly pitiful.


    The other party could clearly feel it as well. They looked over with some confusion and the atmosphere became more subtle. As the dishes were served, Lu Feng lowered his head and ate. Next to him was a table that hosted a few old men; he could not understand them.


    Finally, she could not help but stand up and walk over. ¡°Do you know me?"


    "Yes, but you don¡¯t seem to know me." Lu Feng frowned and said, ¡°What does Ren Qianbo have to do with you?"


    "That''s my man. Are you friends with him?"


    "Sort of. I don''t know what to say, forget it. For the sake of your family harmony, I won¡¯t say anything about his cheating." Lu Feng acted troubled and waved his hand.


    Han Dong snorted and the rice roll in his mouth sprayed out. You''ve already said it, yet you''re still not saying it?


    "Which fox did he hook up with again?" The woman''s hands trembled in anger. Clearly, this son-inw hadpletely lost control. She stared at Lu Feng and said, ¡°Could that shameless thing be with your wife?"


    "Pfft!"


    Datou also spat out.


    "Why don¡¯t you two just have dinner?" Lu Feng looked at the two of them and refrained fromughing. He said seriously, ¡°She''s a widow, twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She''s lives in the same building as me. I hope you''ll take more care. He¡¯s like a runaway stallion outside."


    "I don''t care. I have plenty of money and my dad has retired for many years. Let¡¯s just live like that. I really can¡¯t get a divorce." The woman looked at Lu Feng and said, ¡°You are Lu Feng, right?"


    "Looks like Boss Ren has talked about me a lot." Lu Feng smiled.


    "He didn''t mention you. It''s just that you''re quite famous in our business sector. Actually, the women in my friend group are also very concerned about you. A few days ago, they stated their worries about the survival of your workshop." Zhang Yali said calmly.


    "I didn''t expect to be popr among rich women like you. If there''s a need for financing in the future, I''ll have to rely on Sister Zhang." Lu Feng said politely.


    Then the two of them went back and forth. She called him younger brother and Lu Feng called her older sister. It was an indescribable intimacy that gave people the illusion that they were reunited after a long separation; however, Zhang Yali¡¯s face turned ugly as she said goodbye.


    As the saying goes, family unpleasantries should not be made public. All these years, she lived a hard life, but now, Ren Qianbo had just given her another loud p and tore her face off.


    Lu Feng was all too familiar with these kinds of wealthy families. They were loving outside, and the two of them might even live together for many years. Each had their individual interests. When her man cheated on someone, the woman would be immediately convinced of his unfaithful acts.


    They lived in past and did not havemon interests to bind them. They had long been fighting each other.


    This was also the reason why Lu Feng did not marry in his previous life. He could no longer tell if the woman he was interested in loved him, or his money.


    He sighed and sighed about the so-called love. Lu Feng lowered his head to eat and observed the conversation at the table beside him as it got louder.


    "The market here is very small, It''s better not toe. Chief Gao will have to personallye for such a small market."


    "Actually, there''s no need to sell it. We just need to ship it directly. It''s mainly Zhejiang."


    "If you guys want toe, thene. Why are you talking so much nonsense? President Zong wants to go to the television station to advertise. There must be dealerships all over the country. Do you understand? This is called the distribution system."


    "President Gao, tell me."


    "Let''s just eat!"


    Lu Feng was stunned when he heard their conversation. Why did he feel that these people were promoted by Wahaha? Wahaha was founded in ''87. In just two years, their sales had exceeded 100 million, so they could easily make a small profit.


    Such a godlike speed made Lu Feng, a reincarnated man, blush with shame.


    Wahaha spread across the whole country. It was in the early 1990s when they were advertising at Yangma¡¯s ce. It instantly became popr. Counting the time, there was no problem. Lu Feng frowned and delved in his thoughts for a long time.


    If I remember correctly, the promotion of Wahaha was thanks to an influential man. His name was Gao Zhiwei. He was the one who established the product development and diversified market positioning in theter stages, allowing Wahaha to go from just nutrient solutions to blooming everywhere.


    "Are you from Wahaha?" Lu Feng turned around and asked.


    The chatter of the four or five people came to an abrupt end. They looked at Lu Feng and nodded. ¡°That''s right, do you know Wahaha?"


    "I''ve been to Zhejiang before. Are any of you guys called Gao Zhiwei?" Lu Feng probed again.


    "CEO Gao, you know him?" Everyone looked at a man in his thirties. This man was staring at Lu Feng with question marks all over his face. He was sure that he did not know him.


    "Hello, I''m Gao Zhiwei. I don¡¯t seem to know you, do I?"


    Lu Feng had never met Gao Zhiwei. He just knew that there was such a person. Furthermore, Gao Zhiwei had left Wahaha after 2005. He heard that he had gone to the United States to invest.


    "Are there many people called Gao Zhiwei?" Lu Feng asked.


    "I think I''m the only one. What''s wrong?" Gao Zhiwei was puzzled.


    Lu Feng''s lips curled into a wretched smile. This talent didn¡¯t bump his arms for no reason. Datou and Han Dong understood their boss¡¯s intentions when they saw him with that familiar smile.


    "I promise you; he''s going to lie again," Datou whispered confidently.


    "I think so too!" Han Dong agreed.


    Lu Feng knew the current Wahaha was arge enterprise. This kind of enterprise''s development prospects were great. It was impossible for someone to leave his job for a small factory that had not been established.


    Besides, Lu Feng could not think of another way to stay in such a city.


    "When I returned to China this year, my father spoke to your boss on the phone. Please don''t think of my father as an overseas Chinese; he takes good care of the rising stars in the country. Your boss thinks highly of you!" Lu Feng''s tone was very emphatic. He sounded like an overseas Chinese.


    "Really? Chief Zong is a very good person."


    "However, he''s more optimistic about someone else. He just thinks that you''re not bad. I don''t think you''re developing too much, but please don''t be discouraged." After Lu Feng finished speaking, he stared into the other party''s eyes. It was his usual method to strike first.


    x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x


    1.Some customer speaking Cantonese Chinese.


    2.Han Dong¡¯s attempt at Cantonese, is apparently funny.

 Chapter 35 - Gao Zhiweis Hesitation

    Gao Zhiwei''s expression darkened. Indeed, there were people in thepany (he worked in) who were better than him; moreover, thepany developed at a rapid pace. The reason he headed north was to steal market ideas and increase his authority in thepany.


    He did not doubt Lu Feng¡¯s identity; he had heard that his boss made contact with overseas investors to raise money. There were many overseas investors from China, the west, and Hong Kong.


    "I wonder what your family does?" Gao Zhiwei''s approach changed to a polite one.


    "My family hosts some small business. My dad has a partnership with someone on Wall Street and sells financial products and insurance!" Lu Feng said indifferently, trying to convey that he considered a business such as the one mentioned as no big deal.


    Financial products and insurance?


    This was called a small sale?


    "To someone like you, it is indeed a small business. It must be fate, for us to meet here. Are you investigating a project here?" Gao Zhiwei asked.


    The others were also curious.


    "This is my father¡¯s hometown, my father left for Guangzhou in ''57. He came to Hong Kong the next year and finally moved to the U.S. in 1961. It wasn''t easy to start from scratch, when a Chinese person leaves for another country, they mostly open a Chinese restaurant.


    People fall in love with their families as soon as they get rich. My father is the one who talks about his hometown the most. I decided toe here to take a look!" Lu Feng sighed as he spoke as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.


    "No matter where you go, you can''t forget it!" Someone said,


    "Yes, it''s because of these patriotic people that we can develop."


    "After all, we are not people from other countries. We are all descendants of Yan Huang."


    "Are you nning to stay in China?" Gao Zhiwei probed.


    "My old man told me to stay in the country, I really don''t know what to do. After listening to your boss''s call, I''m actually interested in cooking food. I''ve been investigating and conducting test runs recently, but this is my first time starting a business. I''m not afraid to lose $10million to $20 million if I fail." Lu Feng said without a care.


    "Twenty million dors?" Some guests widened their eyes in disbelief.


    "Isn''t that too much?"


    "That much?" Lu Feng looked as if he had no greed for money. He smiled, ¡°If you want to do it, let us do the biggest. Set a small goal first and make it 100 million."


    Han Dong and Datou¡¯s heads were almost on their tes. They did not dare raise their heads, afraid of not being able to hold back theirughter.


    In their perspective, Lu Feng was really good at acting. The two of them even felt he was in the wrong line of work. He did not even blush when bragging, many details came to them from his speech so casually, as if he was telling the truth.


    "However, I don''t have many people in China. Mr. Gao, if you have any suitable contact, can you introduce them to me? Sry and treatment will not be a problem." Lu Feng stretched out his hand.


    Gao Zhiwei and the others were in a daze. Looking at Lu Feng, they felt that a pie had fallen from sky. They had heard too many of stories like the situation they were in. They referred to ¡®meeting a big shot at dinner, rising up in life and meeting their fated one by ident; and the other party had revealed their identity as a big shot.


    Now that such a thing hadnded on Gao Zhiwei''s head, he felt dizzy.


    "What''s your name?" Gao Zhiwei realized that he did know his name yet.


    "My surname is Lu, and my English name is Jason Lu!" Lu Feng introduced.


    When Datou heard the English name, he could not help butugh out loud. He suddenly stopped himself, feeling as if his voice was stuck in his throat.


    "What''s wrong Jenne?" Lu Feng stared at Big Head with a hostile expression. Datou waved his hand to show his embarrassment. Lu Feng turned his head towards him and asked with a genuine tone, ¡°This is Jenny, my personal housekeeper. That is ude, my bodyguard, and driver."


    "Hello." Gao Zhiwei greeted them and was a little excited. He red into Lu Feng¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°I don''t know how to contact you if I have a suitable candidate."


    "I''ve just returned home and can¡¯t use my business card overseas. How about Ie to the hotel to meet you in five days."


    Lu Feng looked at Datou and Han Dong and asked, ¡°Jenny, ude, have you guys finished eating?"


    "Yeah!", ¡°Yeah!" The two replied excitedly.


    The two of them nodded at each other several times to cooperate with Lu Feng. Han Dong was still a little jerky and his big face was red. After all, he was cooperating with Lu Feng


    "See youter!" Lu Feng stood up and waved.


    "Mr. Lu, I¡¯m not staying at Tianyue. I''m at the Lijing Hotel on the opposite side."


    "Okay, I got it." Lu Feng walked to the waiter''s side and packed some refreshments. He walked out of the hall slowly with the packed refreshments in his hands.


    Just as they walked out of the door, Han Dong and Datou heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at Lu Feng and said, ¡°Brother Feng, what were you talking about? It has nothing to do with us."


    "That''s right. You were originally looking for Ren Qianbo''s wife. After that matter was settled, why did you lie like that?" Han Dong whispered, ¡°If I didn''t know your background, I would have believed you as well."


    "That Gao Zhiwei is a talent. I want to recruit him." Lu Feng said casually.


    "Ah? How do you know he¡¯s a talent?" Han Dong mumbled.


    Lu Feng could not reply. He could not tell him. Not only did I know that he was a talent, but I also knew that Wahaha would be very good in the future. He could onlyugh and say it was intuition.


    At 9:30 p.m, in a small vi by the downtown area, sounds of quarrels and fights were heard.


    "Ren Qianbo, can you save some face? You even picked up a widow! "


    "Does it have anything to do with you? If you can''t do it, then scram."


    "Your wings have grown too much, telling me to scram. If it weren''t for my father, where would you be today? You are just a door-to-door son-inw(1)."


    "Damn it!"


    Screams, curses, cries, and howls rose and fell. In the eyes of outsiders, Ren Qianbo was rich, glorious, and very happy. But the truth was quite the opposite, ironically.


    Lu Feng parked his car at his Third Brother''s house and prepared to go upstairs. Suddenly, he recognized the figure of Wu Hongyu squatting at the door, smoking a cigarette, and ring at him with eyes filled with resentment.


    Lu Feng took a few steps back and stood in front of him, saying," If you dare toe to my house again, I''ll cripple you. I don¡¯t want to see you again, it annoys me. Try if you want to."


    "Hmph!" Wu Hongyu stood up and returned to his room snorting. He did not dare to go even if he had three guts, especially after the four monkeys had met with an ¡®ident¡¯; he was on edge.


    Lu Feng opened the door to his apartment and saw Jiang Xiaoyan and Duo Duo sitting at the dining table. The two of them were delighted to see him return.


    "Why did youe back sote? The food got cold.¡±


    ¡°Duo Duo you are making a lot of noise while eating " Jiang Xiaoyanined a little.


    "If the child wants to eat, then let her eat. Wait for me, we¡¯ll go out for dinner." Lu Feng ced the bag on the table and smiled at Duo Duo." Try this."


    "What is this?"


    "Guangzhou refreshment! (2)"


    "That''s very expensive, right? You''ve been spending so much moneytely. How can you continue living like this and save some money? Our family isn''t rich, so don¡¯tpete with other rich people."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was nagging like an old woman, but she quickly opened the bag in her hand and took a bite.


    "Honey, let''s live somewhere else."


    Lu Feng looked at the pretty face under the gasmp. There were too many people in their building jealous of their family. Who knew what they would do? After the factory was established, it would definitely turn for worse. He would rather not risk something happening to his family.


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him with her face turning beet-red. She bashfully punched him and said," What¡¯s ¡®honey¡¯? Why are you always using nauseous words? Don''t say it in the future. It''s very embarrassing."


    Lu Feng smiled asked mischievously, " What should I call you then?"


    "Call me by my name."


    "That''s too much for me!"


    "Then just call me by my initials!"


    "It''s too much. I think it''s better for me to call you ¡®darling¡¯, ¡®baby¡¯, ¡®little darling¡¯ my wife. Pick one." Lu Feng deliberately said this because he had never seen such a shy girl.


    "Are you deliberately trying to shame me?" Jiang Xiaoyan stood up and raised her hand, like warning a child for an iing p.


    Lu Feng turned around and ran away. The room was filled with joy for a moment.


    Gao Zhiwei couldn''t sleep when hey in his hotel bed. All he could think of was that sentence. ¡®Your boss said that you weren''t the best!¡¯

 Chapter 36 - Brother

    Chapter 36: Brother


    Gao Zhiwei was very ambitious. He had high-level knowledge about market control, marketing, and product positioning.


    This was also the reason he became the general manager of Wahaha in the 1980s.


    However, he now realized he did not have a big future. If he stayed in thepany, he could only be a middle-level manager for his entire life. Now that he met Mr. Lu, he wanted to seize the opportunity.


    This night was destined to be sleepless!


    The next morning, He Yanli''s face was covered with embarrassment and she went straight home. After finishing breakfast, Lu Feng headed to Datou¡¯s house. The duo then went to the State Administration Office in the morning toplete the formalities for the rental of the industrial area. It was simr to what he had guessed, $21,000 a year.


    After he got the key, he went straight to the factory. He looked at the weeds in the yard and sighed. ¡°When this sugar factory functioned at its peak, there were seven to eight hundred people working here. It''s definitely a huge factory."


    Seven to eight hundred people?


    Lu Feng nodded in his heart. The early stages of development were almost the same for every business. He wanted to set up the factory before year-end. Lu Feng no longer showed interest in Ren Qianbo. He wanted topete with Wahaha.


    "This year, we will expand the number of people working in the factory to seven to eight hundred. Our goal is big. We will start this factory this year and open the factory to the south next year. All kinds of food will upy all kinds of stores, supermarkets, and supply and marketing cooperatives!" Lu Feng stared at the production nt covered in weeds.


    "Ah?¡± When Han Dong was dumbfounded hearing Lu Feng''s bold words. He was not even sure if this factory could start production, yet Lu Feng was already thinking of building a branch factory.


    "Boss Lu, I think we should be a little more practical. The most important issue right now is how to get rid of so much grass!" Han Dong said.


    "Hire employees!" Lu Feng asked the two, "Is the assembly line connected?"


    "We called some of thepanies and quoted a price. If we get the full set, it''s over 190,000. It''s too expensive." Han Dong looked at Datou.


    Lu Feng possessed little capital at the moment. He knew that after buying the machine and renting the factory, nothing would remain. This kind of feeling of being stretched thin was really annoying.


    The slightest carelessness would result in eternal damnation.


    Datou was being optimistic and felt fine. After all, Lu Feng had some money right now. He really had nothing when he got the workshop.


    "The machine dealer asked for advance payment. We have to pay first and then only will we be able to bring it here."


    "Making the payment first? You won''t be fooled, right?" Lu Feng frowned.


    Datou and Han Dong looked at each other. Brother Feng, who had always dared to take risks, suddenly became careful. It wasn''t Lu Feng''s fault, though; there were too many scammers out in the market right now.


    Especially when ites to phone fraud, manypanies were trying to prevent themselves from falling for it and demanded payment first. But now that themunication wasn''t trustworthy, manypanies were about to close down. People here did not know that yet.


    Some people bought an enterprise shell and imed to use foreign exchange to buy imported goods. Who knew how many people had been deceived?


    The sound of soaring car engines came from outside the factory. Lu Feng did not need to look to know that it was Ren Qianbo. He was got familiar with his car during this period of time. As expected, Ren Qianbo rushed in angrily.


    There were several bloody marks on his face, and he looked extremely angry.


    "Hey, Boss Ren?" Lu Feng looked at him in surprise. After sizing him up for a while, he asked, ¡°Did you meet the Baigujing with the Tang Priest?(1) Or is it a chance encounter with Mei Chaofeng(2)?"


    "Damn it!" Ren Qianbo''s expression turned sinister as he pointed at Lu Feng and barked, ''''You''re such a f**king despicable person, aren''t you? Talking to my wife behind my back, why didn''t you just tell my parents?"


    "You''re the one who did the dirty work first; besides, be a good son-inw."


    "Fck me! Fck, wait for your father. I''ve made you feel good all day because you are ipetent. Isn''t it a waste of time? I''m going to break your factory. ying with me? You''re should have just been thankful I didn''t kill you."


    Ren Qianbo was purely here to vent his emotions. He was spewing all kinds of vulgarities like he was going to eat them.


    "Let me enlighten you. If you buy a machine, you''ll get it for 200,000. This factory costs 20,000 a year. How much money do you have topete with me in the market after that? You''re trash."


    Lu Feng nodded in his heart. He had been wondering earlier how he could make money, but now it seemed Ren Qianbo was also focusing on him. The other party shouldn''t be a problem. It was just that he was so arrogant and looked very annoying.


    "Boss Ren, you came alone?" Lu Feng smiled and asked.


    Ren Qianbo instantly woke up. He looked at the three of them and said, ¡°Don''t worry about me. Don''t interfere with my family''s affairs in the future. I''ll leave first."


    "Datou, this ce seems to be a bit off-road. Even if you beat someone up, no one can hear you, right?"


    "Right, there''s no one within a two-mile radius!"


    Ren Qianbo had already started to retreat. He turned around and ran away.


    "Catch him and beat him to death. Show him hell!" Lu Feng roared and picked up a rock from the ground.


    Datou also sprinted. When Ren got kicked a few times while entering his car. Datou wanted to drag him out of the car window, but the car had already started.


    "Datou, let go!" Lu Feng shouted.


    Datou released his grip and the car sped away.


    "Alright, leave him alone." Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "Go pay now. The sooner the assembly line is installed, the better. All that''s left is to contact the supplier and continue working on the product."


    Lu Feng returned home on his motorcycle and rummaged through the money bag under his bed. He counted the sum of $190,000 and went straight to the bank. He made a few more phone calls before making the payment. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he sent the money over.


    Lu Feng left the bank list and sat down on the steps to the bank. He sighed as he looked at the people who came under the scorching sun.


    "Boss Lu, if there''s nothing else. I''ll go back first." Han Dong said.


    Lu Feng nodded and said," Let''s go back. In the next few days, aside from waiting for the machines, you guys should find out Wan Yuan''s suppliers andmunicate more!"


    "Okay!"


    "Brother Feng, I''m going back as well." Datou dered.


    "Wait!" Lu Feng gestured for him to sit down.


    "What''s the matter, Brother Feng?" Big Head mumbled.


    Lu Feng put his arm around Datou''s shoulder and said, "You should have a share in this factory. Thank you for your unconditional trust. I n to sell you 5% of the original stock for one dor."


    "5%?" Big-head suddenly thought of something. Five percent of the over 200,000 of investment. He was a little touched and said, ¡°Brother Feng, it''s just too much. I can¡¯t afford to invest in them. When I go back, I would tell my father that the factory iscking in money."


    Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°There''s no need, it''s just one dor, I trust you. When the timees, you''ll be in charge of finance. Also, if you have nothing to do these days, head to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register thepany. You can be an ountant."


    "What ountant?" Datou asked, confused.


    "It''s the corporate line. Write your name there and remember to bring your ID card." Lu Feng smiled and continued, "Go ahead and get busy. Brother Feng would sit here for a while."


    Datou left happily. This was the first time he came to know what a brother was. He felt trusted.


    Lu Feng looked at his back and thought to himself,


    Sometimes knowing too much doesn''t make him happy. As an ountant, he would do good.


    Of course, Lu Feng would not cheat him. He was just afraid that an uncontroble factor would appear and capture the legal entity. He would not be able to manage the overall situation then.

    In a 16th century novel with the title ¡®Journey to the west¡¯.


    Mei Chaofeng, the original name Mei Ruohua, is a character in the wuxia novel ¡®The Legend of the Condor Heroes'' by Jin Yong. She was the fourth disciple of Huang Yaoshi. She was known as the Iron Corpse due to her darkplexion and rigid appearance

 Chapter 37 - Moving

    Lu Feng stood up and dusted his butt. The ride on the way home felt ufortable. It was as if he had tricked Datou. He smiled and put a lid over his emotions.


    Over the years, he had learned a simple but valuable lesson: Businessmen with conscience go bankrupt. As for the rich people who donated money, some were for fame, some for tax exemption, and some for marketing. Who knows if they were even real or fake.


    When Jiang Xiaoyan returned home, she saw that the leather bag had been pulled out from under the bed. She was paralyzed with fear. She ran over and saw that she had lost 200,000. She hugged the leather bag and wailed.


    As soon as Lu Feng entered the house, he saw her crying and asked, "What''s wrong? Ah?"


    "Daddy, the money was stolen!" Duo Duo blinked her big eyes, filled with moisture, seemingly crying with her mother.


    "We didn''t lose it!" Lu Feng hurriedly said, ¡°I took it."


    Jiang Xiaoyan stopped crying and asked, ¡°Why did you take the money? It was $200,000!"


    "It''s a factory. I bought an assembly line and paid for it. I took over 20,000 this morning and rented the sugar factory in the suburbs. Hurry up and get up." Lu Feng helped her up.


    "It wasn''t easy to earn money. During this period of time, you''ve been working hard. What if you lose it? Talk to me!" Jiang Xiaoyan was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but the money had already been paid.


    "If I had discussed it with you. Would you have let me invest the money?" Lu Feng sat down and asked her.


    "What aboutpensation? Don¡¯t think of earning money in business without thinking of losing it first. I don¡¯t want to be rich orvish. I just wanted to save this money in the bank for interest. It''s enough for us to live till we are eighty years old."


    Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little uneasy in her heart. The feeling of panic once again enveloped her heart. She could think of the happiest days. There was no risk, enough money to spend, and the family was safe and sound.


    Jiang Xiaoyan hugged Duo Duo. The atmosphere at home was a little heavy.


    "Are you mad at me?" Lu Feng asked.


    "No, I don''t dare!"


    Lu Fengughed. The atmosphere of the room was already cold, yet she still said she didn''t dare. He stood up and said, ¡°It''s my fault. I should have told you. You are also half of the family. I was wrong. I apologize. How about this? I haven''t cooked for a long time, I''ll make you something delicious. What do you want to eat?"


    "Chicken wings!" Duo Duo cried out happily.


    "Is Daddy okay?"


    "Okay! Daddy is good" Lu Feng replied energetically.


    "Who is right, Daddy or mommy?"


    She looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and then at Lu Feng. She was a little embarrassed, but when Lu Feng said chicken wings in a low voice, she immediately had a choice.


    "Daddy!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes. As expected, she had been bribed by chicken wings.


    Lu Feng should be fine for the next few days. There were not many suppliers right now and they were just waiting for the assembly line to be installed.


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the table with a smile on her face. She thought to herself, ¡°I''m really cheap. In the past, when someone pped me (Editor: guess who?) on the face, I just asked for less food to make them happy¡±


    Now that she was sitting here, unmoving, with a table full of dishes ready. The money he spent was what he earned, but she was still angry. She did not know of the profits that the investment could bring.


    "Alright, let''s eat!" Lu Feng took off his apron and smacked his lips. "I''m just missing a TV."


    Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him and asked, "Did you want to hit me just now?"


    "Why would I hit you?"


    "You don''t want to hit me even though I''m so angry with you? I feel like I''ve been unreasonabletely." Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her head in embarrassment as blurted out the words.


    "You''ve looked very pretty recently; beautiful women usually make trouble without reason. It''s normal!" Lu Feng picked up a pair of chicken wings and suddenly thought of the seventh lunar month. ¡°Is it the seventh lunar month?"


    "Today is the 5th day of the seventh lunar month, what''s wrong?"


    "Qixi!(1) I have to make arrangements for Valentine''s Day." Lu Feng said happily.


    "You should be ashamed. What''s with Valentine''s Day? You''re acting like you''re overseas and you''re going to dance." Jiang Xiaoyan knew that he could do anything that was out of line. Recently, Lu Feng had been very haughty. A few days ago, he wanted to hold her hand on the street. Fortunately, no one had seen him; otherwise, she would have been embarrassed beyond measure.


    "Let''s move shift before Valentine''s Day. I''ll go out tomorrow to look around!" Lu Feng picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said, ¡°Let''s eat!"


    "Don''t mess around. You''re making things so embarrassing in public."


    "Don''t worry!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan repeated her words several times, but she was still worried. Now, when you called a girl on the street, she was probably a hooligan. It was just that the young people were a little more mboyant. They were hot and daring. At most, they would sit in the back seat and touch their waists together.


    This was an age when openness meets conservatism. The television could broadcast aerobics. In reality, couples would blush even when they held hands. Everyone was standing at the intersection of the times.


    The next day, Lu Feng rode his motorcycle and went out to look for a house. Most of the buildings were upied by workers; although, there were only a few. It was rare for him to be experience leisure for a few days, so he decided to walk around the city.


    Lu Feng was unaware of the fact that the local businessmunity had already heard of Lu Feng''s name due to Ren Qianbo. A person who dared to rent a sugar factory with a little over 200,000 dors and fight with Ren Qianbo was either a madman or a genius, no doubt.


    In the past two days, he had be a hot topic. Now that there was no Inte, Lu Feng would definitely be the first on the local topic list.


    Gao Zhiwei was also at a loss. Initially, he could have signed a few contracts with the general agency for a few days, but now he was upset.


    He hadn''t slept well for the past two days, so Gao Zhiwei understood very well that choices often mattered more than hard work. Should he give up his current position and hang out with Lu Feng?


    Everyone had their fair share of troubles. He Yanli was busy making up her face, Zhang Yali was busy getting divorced, Datou was busy registering thepany, and Han Dong was busy collecting the list of suppliers.


    Lu Feng found a nice house with a bedroom and a living room. There was a refrigerator, TV, and a sofa. It was much better than the ce they currently resided in.


    The trio moved over to the new apartment the following afternoon. Jiang Xiaoyan was a little reluctant for leaving. She stayed here for four years and did not say her farewell to anyone when she left.


    Of course, there would not be too much nostalgia. The new house was covered with tiles, and the decoration was great. The furniture and the appliances were a cherry on top. Duo Duo went into the new apartment and ran around barefoot, feeling ineffably happy.


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s face was also full of smiles. She sized up the house and said, ¡°It''s a lot better to stick to porcin crockery. The kitchen is good, it''s good everywhere. With a refrigerator, there''s no need to worry about the leftovers."


    "You can enjoy whatever you spend!" Lu Feng shouted, delighted with their reactions.


    "Just one bed?" When Jiang Xiaoyan entered the bedroom, she found arge double bed.


    Lu Feng walked forward and whispered, "Then Duo Duo sleeps on the sofa."


    "What are you talking about? You sleep on the sofa!" Jiang Xiaoyan turned to look at the bathroom.


    Lu Feng leaned against the door frame and watched the mother and daughter chatting. Her heart ached the most when she spent money, and when she lived to the fullest, she was the cheeriest.


    Looking at Jiang Xiaoyan and Duo Duo, he had an intense rush of feelings. At first, they were truly pitiful. Jiang Xiaoyan yet did not realize the amount of hardship she would have suffered without him.


    But now, he felt that she was a little cutie!

    The Qixi Festival is based on a romantic legend of a weaver girl Zhin¨¹ (Chinese: Å®) and a cowherd Ning (Chinese: Å£ÀÉ). Because of this legend, the Qixi Festival has a great romantic meaning, especially to young girls. The celebration is one of giving gifts to romantic partners or having a romantic date.

 Chapter 38 - In Front Of A Cinema

    Jiang Xiaoyan was busy cleaning up and was reluctant to throw away many things. Lu Feng took the initiative to throw away all the useless items.


    Evening: For the first meal in the new home, they sat at the dining table and watched TV. Although there were few TV stations to watch, any program was enough to attract the attention of the family of three.


    Especially Duo Duo, her eyes widened when she watched a cartoon as if she had discovered a new realm.


    "Turn it off soon, it costs electricity. The lights in this room are so bright, and with a refrigerator and a TV, how much does the electricity alone cost?" Jiang Xiaoyan showed her search-agnostic side.


    Duo Duo turned off the TV reluctantly, and Lu Feng was also sent away to wash his feet. The most ufortable thing for him was that he went to bed at nine o''clock every night.


    In the end, all three slept on the double bed. The bed was soft, and Duo Duo quickly fell asleep. Lu Feng thought tomorrow would be the Qixi Festival, so he should take his wife to a movie, and the day after tomorrow would be the appointed time with Gao Zhiwei.


    "You aren¡¯t asleep yet?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked in a low voice, her eyes rippling in the dark.


    Lu Feng felt something instantly, nodded, and said, "Yes, is Duo Duo asleep?"


    "Yes!" Jiang Xiaoyan whispered and got up slightly, reaching out to touch Lu Feng''s face.


    Lu Feng stretched out his hand and hugged her from the other side of the bed, causing Jiang Xiaoyan to cry out in surprise, pressing her directly under him.


    Jiang Xiaoyan blushed and hooked her hands on Lu Feng''s neck, and murmured in a low voice, "Life will get better. As long as you are nice to me, nothing matters. In fact, I have always wanted to ask you, did you hate your marriage for such a long time?  I''m not in the same room as you."


    "Why? It''s not the case tonight."


    Lu Feng said and lowered his head to kiss her. As soon as he touched her soft lips, an exmation sounded from the side, "Dad, why are you bullying mom?"


    The two turned their heads to look at the little devil, they didn''t know when she woke up, and started staring at the two with wide eyes.


    "You kid, why aren¡¯t you asleep at night!? go to bed quickly!" Jiang Xiaoyan said and pressed Duo Duo to the bed.


    "Why is Dad pressing you?"


    "Mom did something wrong, go to sleep!" Jiang Xiaoyan shouted, unimaginably embarrassed.


    Lu Feng sighed and vowed to buy a vi in his heart while looking at the white moonlight from a window.


    The night passed silently without any further advancements.


    The following day,


    Qixi Festival is not so grand right now and only a few couples celebrate it; nevertheless, The number of people in the cinema will skyrocket, and it is also one of the few times when cinema sales are stronger than the video hall.


    Lu Feng wanted to take Jiang Xiaoyan to have dinner at a restaurant, while Jiang Xiaoyan thought it was expensive, and decorated a table by herself. In the evening, the breeze blew, making Lu Feng feelfortable. He bought two tickets for the movie "Dragon in the End of the World" starring Jet Li(1)


    "Change, and dress up beautifully!" Lu Feng said to Jiang Xiaoyan.


    "What are you doing now?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked helplessly.


    "Going to the movies!"


    "Didn''t I tell you not to buy it? Spending money like this, who is starring?"


    "Jet Li!"


    "I haven''t heard of this kind of little star, and he probably doesn''t look good." Jiang Xiaoyan grumbled,ining that Lu Feng was spending money.


    "He yed in Shaolin Temple and is a big star, and Fang Shiyu, and also Huang Feihong." Lu Feng suddenly realized that these movies have not been released yet.


    Many big stars ofter generations are just ordinary people now.


    Standing there in a daze for a few seconds, Lu Feng finally came to his senses. He smiled and said to himself, "It''s really an era of gold everywhere. If you have money, you can invest in a few movies and drown in money."


    The family went straight to the cinema. The entrance was very lively, selling all kinds of snacks, balloons, toys, and flowers everywhere. Lu Feng looked at the flower sellers.


    "How do you sell these roses?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan hastily pulled him and said, "Hey don''t buy it, it''s useless!"


    "Handsome guy, do you want to buy flowers?" A young man came over, put his arm around Lu Feng''s shoulder, and said, "Buy one for your beautiful partner!!"


    "How do you sell it?"


    "Ten dors, a flower, and two movie tickets, just for you!"


    Ten dors?


    Lu Feng frowned and said, "It''s too expensive, I won''t buy it!"


    "How can you say you won''t buy it? I said that if you want to buy it, you have to buy it, you know? It''s not too expensive, alright? It''s only five dors a flower." The other party gave conditions.


    "We won''t buy it, let''s go!" Jiang Xiaoyan pulled Lu Feng to leave.


    The man put his arms around Lu Feng''s shoulder, followed by two people, hedged back and forth, unable to walk away.


    "If you don''t buy it, you can''t leave." The other party said very arrogantly, "You don''t want to go out and find out what I do, brother, let¡¯s not worry about money!"


    The people around looked at Lu Feng pitifully. There are many such idiots in this ce. They buy and sell by force.


    The flower seller looked at Lu Feng and persuaded, "Spend money to buy peace, or forget it!"


    Lu Feng gave him a cold look and said, "I don''t want to buy it, the movie is about to start, so get out of the way."


    "What if I don''t let it go? Who are you to act so arrogant?" The man thumped on Lu Feng''s chest with his hand and said provocatively, "Wanna have a round with me? You want to find out what Qiangzi can do! "


    "Stop talking nonsense, pay quickly!" A young man with long hair behind Lu Feng pushed him.


    "Don''t do it!" Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly shouted.


    "It''s okay, you take Duo Duo and move to the side, I''ll take care of it." Lu Feng nudged.


    There were a lot of people at the entrance of the cinema, some of whom were just here to watch the fun happening outside the building. Now standing not far away to watch the lively scene of Lu Feng, the crowd began to murmur.


    "Qiangzi has been an old cow now."


    "In the movie theater, he has always been able to do it. No one disagrees. This kid is still messing with him, courting death!"


    "This is someone who doesn''t know the current affairs. There used to be a guy just like him. At first, he was very confident. Later, he was beaten and knelt on the ground and called him grandpa."


    When the people around heard that Qiangzi was so powerful, they were all a little frightened!


    "I''ll ask you again, do you want to buy this flower?" Qiangzi asked with a finger on Lu Feng''s face.


    "Not buying!"


    "Do it!"


    The two people next to them rushed up in an instant as soon as Qiangzi shouted. They were both young men of eighteen or neen; tall and thin, with a little explosiveness. Lu Feng had grown quite strong during this period of time. They couldn¡¯t even bepared.


    Lu Feng turned his head and kicked once, directly kicking the long-haired man and sending him flying more than a meter, he then repeated and had knocked down two people with three strikes, two from his crew of five were down, Qiangzi did not dare to go forward.


    "You''re useless, you dare to do something like this to me? You wait!" Qiangzi turned around and ran away.


    Seeing him running with his tail between his legs, Lu Feng couldn''t helpughing, and asked another flower seller, "How much is the rose?"


    "Young man, go quickly, do you really think it''s okay to hit someone? They have called someone toe, and a group wille in a while. You can''t fight them; Roses are a dime apiece!"


    Lu Feng took all the remaining roses, holding them in arge handful, and walked towards Jiang Xiaoyan with the flowers in his arms. The face of a girl standing next to a boy nearby turned red.


    "My God, this is too striking!" The girl shrieked, watching a scene from moviese to life.


    She then turned towards the boy and said,


    "You can¡¯t even buy me a bunch of flowers."


    "I can buy it for you, but can you not let me give them here." The boy replies, embarrassed.


    "Do you feel ashamed?"


    "Yes, I''m sorry."


    As Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the handful of blushing roses, her face flushed; remembering something important, she hurriedly said, "Let''s go, or it will be bad if they really call someone."


    Seeing that she was worried, Lu Feng nodded and was about to leave, but Qiangzi suddenly rushed back and shouted, "You still want to leave after hitting someone? You really thought I was a scumbag, Brother Ji, it''s him!"


    The crowd scattered around the audience, and more than a dozen people walked towards this side in a dark, in very imposing manner!


    Everyone looked at Lu Feng and sighed, they advised him to leave, but he didn''t, now he can''t even if he wanted to. It seems that he would bepletely messed up today.


    The boy who wasined about by his girlfriend just now felt extremely relieved when he looked at Lu Feng, for he deserved a few curses in his heart!

 Chapter 39 - Fool

    When Qiangzi saw reinforcementsing, his attitude immediately changed to an extremely arrogant one. The two lying on the ground also stood up in a hurry.


    "I''m telling you, now kneel down and call me your Grandpa. Apologize, it''s still not toote, you know? Otherwise, I will give you no chance to kneel down."


    Qiangzi''s face was grim, and he shouted, "Brother Ji, it''s him!"


    Everyone in the room was staring at Brother Ji. Whoever works here often knows Brother Ji, he is the underground king of this ce, and a guy like Qiangzi is just an errand guy.


    Brother Ji does note out often, and it''s hard for people to see him normally. They had heard a lot of things about him, all of which are legends in the rivers andkes.


    Brother Ji was biting a toothpick in his mouth, giving people a feeling of bohemianism, without raising his eyelids, he walked up to Lu Feng, he then raised his eyelids, nced at Lu Feng, and was stunned on the spot.


    "Boss Lu?"


    "You know me?" Lu Feng wondered.


    "No one in the suburbs dares not know you; it''s alright, we won''t bother you, don''t take it to heart." Brother Ji had a smile on his face.


    The people around saw that Brother Ji had a smile on his face and was extremely humble, and they were confused for a while.


    Although Lu Feng didn''t know him, he refrained from asking any more questions. The movie was about to start and he said, "Okay, the movie is starting, I''ll go first."


    "Okay, you can call me if you need anything." Brother Ji said politely.


    "Brother Ji, he hit our brothers!" Qiangzi retorted suddenly when he saw that Lu Feng was leaving.


    "Someone like you, who does not see even one step ahead should just shut up!" Ji snapped.


    No matter how stupid Qiangzi was, he still felt that he has been kicked into an iron te today, so he shut up quickly.Lu Feng took Jiang Xiaoyan into the cinema. The gathered people were confused and were curious about Lu Feng.


    Qiangzi asked in a low voice, "Brother Ji? Who is that person?"


    "Do you know the four monkeys?"


    "I know, didn''t the Mad Dog get rid of him?"


    "Yes, it was because of Brother Feng. He is Mad Dog''s ally, understand?"


    When Qiangzi heard this, cold sweat broke down from his back, his face turned deathly pale, and he got really scared. Mad Dog had always been infamous, and if Lu Feng had befriended Mad Dog, he was a person who cannot be offended.


    Duo Duo was jumping up and down with excitement, Jiang Xiaoyan hugged her to stop her hyperactive movements to stop the disturbance caused to others, but her mind drifted away from the movie, she quietly nced at the man beside her, and abruptly felt silent.


    At first nce, that chicken is not an ordinary person, but to see him so frightened, and so afraid!


    At ten o''clock: As the trio left the cinema, Lu Feng looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and grabbed her, holding her in his arms and kissed her with a lot of shouting.


    "Happy Tanabata!(1)"


    "H-Hey! It''s been bad enough tonight!" Jiang Xiaoyan retorted in his arms and managed to get free, flustered beyond measure.


    "Let''s head home!" Lu Feng got on his motorcycle and said, "Duo Duo, go to bed early when you get home, okay?"


    "I won''t! you bully mom while I''m asleep!"


    Lu Feng suddenly felt a pain in his waist and spontaneously shut up! (Editor: Jiang probably smacked him  ?(?¥î??))


    Lu Feng woke up the next morning. Jiang Xiaoyan had already left for work, and Lu Feng also got busy with his business. He still did not know Gao Zhiwei''s thought process.


    At the Lijing Hotel, only Gao Zhiwei was left of the officials sent there, the others had already returned to Zhejiang Province. Hey in bed feeling unsure. The day before, he called thepany and officially resigned.


    After hanging up the phone, Gao Zhiwei''s mind went nk. He didn''t know what he was thinking. He used to be very motivated every day, but ever since Lu Feng told him that he was not that important to the boss, and that he would not be promoted much in the future, his whole mental energy seemed to be drained in an instant.


    Such emotions surrounded him for days, and eventually, he decided to take a gamble and do it with Lu Feng!


    The meeting day at the appointed time: Gao Zhiwei is a little nervous, afraid that if Lu Feng breaks his promise, he will really have nothing.


    Putting on his suit, Lu Feng rode a motorcycle to the car rental shop, rented a Hutou Ben(2), and drove to pick Datou and Han Dong.


    "Brother Feng, what are you doing with this car?"


    "Is this the Mercedes Benz?"


    "Oh, I can ride a Mercedes-Benz, I rented a Santana when I got married!" Han Dong looked left and right, looking like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden(3).


    "Is thepany registered?" Lu Feng turned his head and asked.


    "Registered!"


    "When will the assembly linee back?"


    "It should be just two days, soon, Brother Feng, what are we going to do?" Han Dong answered.


    Lu Feng hung up and said, "Let''s go pick up our general manager!"


    As soon as his voice fell, the car sped away.


    Gao Zhiwei looked down from the window, and just saw a tiger headed Ben (Hutou Ben) speeding towards there and stopped right in front of the hotel, he stared at it with wide eyes.


    The car door opened, Jason Lu (Lu Feng) walked out, and behind him were his servants, Jenny (Datou) and ude (Han Dong)!


    After entering the hotel, Lu Feng enquired at the front desk, "I have a question, has Gao Zhiwei checked out? He''s the one who was on a business trip."


    "No, he''s the only one who''s still here, all those who came here have left." The female receptionist replied cheerfully.


    Hearing this, Lu Feng was overjoyed. He was basically a duck to the mouth. He could not fly, but he had to stabilize for a while. He had just resigned and the procedure was not over. He could go back at any time.


    Going upstairs and knocking on Gao Zhiwei''s door, azy voice came from the room, "Who is it?"


    Although he deliberately suppressed his nervousness and anticipation, Lu Feng still heard it and said, "Me, Jason-Lu, I asked you a few days ago to rmend someone for me. I was wondering if there are any candidates. Can you open the door?"


    "Okay, wait a minute!"


    A minuteter, the door opened, and Gao Zhiwei said, "Come in. Have a seat!"


    "You''re the only one?" Lu Feng observed the room and asked, "Isn''t the person you rmended here yet?"


    Gao Zhiwei was at a loss, he hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to rmend myself to you. I am very experienced in the food industry, and I also want to create a brand myself."


    "You''re my dad''s friend''s employee, I''m afraid it''s not a good idea." Lu Feng wondered.


    "It''s okay, I have left my job, and now I don''t belong to anypany."


    Lu Feng''s heart was overjoyed, because  Gao Zhiwei begged him to take him in. He didn''t lie to him, there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, he pped his mouth for a while, sat down, and said, "Okay, Boss Zong''s impression is actually not so good. Just digging the corner will be like digging the foot of the wall, and he can''t do anything to me."


    "Then you can be the general manager. My factory is rtivelyrge. Although it has been nned for a while, it will take a few days to start operation. You can stay here for a few days now."


    Bigger?


    Gao Zhiwei nodded excitedly. He felt that Lu Feng''s generosity should mean a big factory with more than 3,000 people.


    And looking at his appearance is like ying a ticket, won''t he have the final say at that time?


    When Gao Zhiwei thought that he could operate arge factory with 3,000 people, he felt indescribably relieved, and hurriedly nodded, "It''s okay, don''t worry!"


    "In terms of sry, I will definitely not treat you badly. Let''s not talk about it now as it is gettingte, let''s head downstairs for dinner." Lu Feng stood up and walked out, his whole body was indescribably domineering.


    Gao Zhiwei hurriedly took his things and walked out, the joy on his face was beyond words, and he couldn''t hide it at all.


    Only Han Dong and Datou looked at him and sneered, another fool who was deceived by master LU FENG!

 Chapter 40 - The Establishment of Jiamei

    In the cafeteria, there was a high-level discussion being held. Lu Feng was in charge of talking, and Datou and Han Dong were in charge of answering between the gaps of the conversation. Before talking about the domestic economic situation and the development prospects of the snack industry, the two of them were able to gab something, although it was far off the mark.


    As Lu Feng and Gao Zhiwei talked about the international market, the two ¡®servants¡¯ couldn''t keep up. In the end, only Lu Feng was left to sit there and talk about the variety of snacks, market positioning, marketing, and market share. The chat was very detailed.


    Both Datou and Han Dong were a little confused, staring at Lu Feng with some doubts, is he lying to us, or is it true?


    It sounds so real!


    Gao Zhiwei always felt that Lu Feng was a rich second-generation. He didn''t expect him to know so much about the market.


    Although Lu Feng has some bragging elements, he is still ambitious about the market. Children''s snacks are a big market. Once they be a leadingpany, the profits will be terrifyinglyrge.


    Post dinner, Gao Zhiwei was asked to go back to the hotel room and wait. Now he is a turtle and can''t run!


    In the afternoon, Lu went to the factory to take a look. Lu Feng asked Han Dong, "Are the former workers still willing toe?"


    "No, it is estimated that they will all go to the job market, these short-term workers are always unfaithful!"


    "Then let''s hire a few more people. Hire twenty people first!" Lu Feng nced around and said, "Bring the equipment from the workshop, clean this ce, prepare to unload the machines, and go to the factory director''s office to have a look."


    As expected of a former state-owned enterprise, the office was huge, with a two-meter-long solid wood desk, arge boss chair, and a row of filing cabs behind it.


    Lu Feng picked up the document next to him and pped the chair to dust it off. He then sat down and looked at the two of them and said, "From today onwards, we are officially busy, Jiamei Food Co. Ltd. has been established. Datou, you are in charge of finance; Han Dong, you are still in charge of production, as a production director."


    "Good!" Both replied in perfect sync.


    Both of them were confused. As they were considered officials, they were very happy, but they could sense that the amiable Brother Feng was a little serious.


    "The previous workshop was a small business, but the factory now is a formal enterprise, and an enterprise must have regtions. Datou, don''t call me Brother Feng in the future, alright?" Lu Feng looked at the big head.


    Datou nodded, feeling a little ufortable in his heart, feeling he was suddenly divided.


    "Han Dong, sort out the list of suppliers, as well as quotations, etc., and make a document.  I will ask for it as soon as the machine arrives, There are also about 100 assembly line workers, warehouse management, finance personnel and procurement, marketing, public rtions, etc. I will be busy for the time being.¡±


    "So many people?" Datou thought for a while and said, "We don''t seem to have that much money."


    Lu Feng sighed and said, "After recruiting, the sry will not be paid until one monthter. We have one month. Whether we win or losepletely depends on this month."


    Han Dong sighed. He felt Lu Feng was just ying the extreme operation. He won with the workshopst time, but this time it may not necessarily be true. The person who danced on the tip of the knife all year round finally died on the tip of the knife.


    Of course, that''s someone else. Han Dong couldn¡¯t understand Lu Feng. This person is invisible, you never know what he can do. During this time, he has felt that he was a pragmatist(1).


    As long as it is useful to him, he will use any shameless means.


    Simply assigning the tasks, Lu Feng pondered what to do with the first product. The production cost of children''s snacks is very low. The cost of a piece of fruit dan skin is basically about a cent. In a canteen retail, it is a dime, ten times as much profit.


    For relying on the tform of themissary supply and marketing cooperative, you must give them ranging profits if you want to sell well, if there are agents in the middle, the profits will drop too much.


    Wanyuan''s products give 25% of the profit from terminal sales. If Lu Feng wants to grab his market, he must have more!


    In the evening, Lu Feng left the factory to return the car. Looking at therge factory, he felt nostalgic, remembering the feeling of starting a business for the first time, and felt more pressured than usual.


    After returning the car, Lu Feng rode his motorcycle to rush home.


    Somewhere, Ren Qianbo was busy arguing over a divorce. Many outsiders thought He Yanli''s must be the reason.


    The two have only been together for a few days. Ren Qianbo, a person with a strong purpose, was doomed from the moment of the marriage. Zhang Yali was a real tiger.


    Now that thest bit of window paper had been pierced, there was no turning back!


    In the next few days, both Lu Feng and Ren Qianbo were extremely busy. As workers entered the factory, the factory which had been silent for more than two years, recovered!


    In two days, everything was cleaned up, and people from various departments began to settle in, specify rules and regtions, and conduct personnel training!


    The machines in the workshop were ready to be started and would not be forced to stop work, this time, with security guards, it can be regarded as a sense of security.


    With the arrival of the assembly line, everything was basically ready and the sign at the door also stood up. At eight o''clock in the morning, Lu Feng was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, very formal.


    "Now I announce that Jiamei Food is officially established!"


    There was apuse at the scene, and even many young workers looked at Lu Feng with peach blossoms in their eyes. After all, at his age, such temperament, and is an outstanding young man owning such arge factory, it is really rare.


    The firecrackers sounded. Lu Feng picked up the scissors and started cutting the ribbon. Han Dong, who was beside him, could clearly feel that Lu Feng had changed, and he was not as approachable as he was in the workshop before.


    Especially these two days, when the assembly line came, and the day before yesterday, there was a small problem when unloading, and Han Dong was reprimanded over it.


    Lu Feng kept his distance from everyone. In the previous small workshop, it didn''t matter if they called each other brothers and sisters. Now it''s an enterprise with more than 200 people and he had to take such measures to improve efficiency.


    When the wages are to be paid next month, the factory may not be profitable and will face the risk of closing down. If he is still the same as before, the people below will go bankrupt in less than half a month.


    The reason why Lu Feng let Datou manage the finances is not that he could not find someone who can manage it. On the contrary, it was for people with money talents to be dug up.


    For a factory of this size, the deadliest part is financing.


    Small workshops only pay so much every day and collect on-site ounts. There is no greed for ink. Large groups are very strict in finances. Even if they lose a little, it will not shake the foundation of the enterprise.


    It is Lu Feng''s current situation that is not too big nor too small, and the ount book is easy to manipte. If he is greedy, the profit may be lost.


    The ountant doesn''t need to be very talented; he just needs to be honest. Of course, giving him 5% of the shares also had the idea of ????stabilizing people''s hearts.


    The air was filled with the smell of firecrackers. Lu Feng raised his hand and pressed it down, announcing, "Today we are officially established. I hope Jiamei is prosperous, everyone can perform their duties and start production soon."


    Today is not only an important day for Lu Feng, but also for Ren Qianbo, it was not easy for him. He walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the scratches on his face are scabbed, but his steps are obviously a lot lighter.


    Starting from today, he no longer has to carry the characters of "Son-inw", he walked directly to the car, and just as he was about to get into the car, the driver hurriedly said, "Mr. Ren, Jiamei Food was established today."


    "So fast!" Ren Qianbo threw his bag on the front passenger seat and smiled disdainfully, "How much money does he have left? It''s all in debt, it''s vulnerable!"

 Chapter 41 - Inform Gao Zhiwei

    "Who knows; if it doesn''t work, it''s a big deal. I heard that the local TV station will be interviewing." The driver told the information he knew.


    "Let him be proud for a few days first." Ren Qianbo said and got into the car.


    Lu Feng has indeed shaken the local businessmunity a lot. From fighting with nothing to now, it was enough to make people consider him a rivel, let alone forming such arge-scale factory as Jiamei.


    Someone remembered the expenses one by one for him. As for the ss factory, it is impossible for it to happen again. Lu Feng has grown up, and he has done it with a little face.


    If you want to cheat, you can only go abroad to cheat.


    Today is the day of its establishment. Jiang Xiaoyan took the time to take a look at it. When she saw such arge factory with so many people, she was still a little dumbfounded.


    In her eyes, Lu Feng was still the second bastard, and putting more than 200,000 dors would have an impact, but it was not as powerful as it is now.


    "Mr. Lu, your office phone is ringing, it''s from the newspaper!"


    "Let them call meter." After Lu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Come in, what are you doing there?"


    As Lu Feng spoke, he picked up Duo Duo, went into the office, and seated her on the table. When cutting the ribbon, he had something in his hand to eat and handed it to her.


    "It''s almost like the electronics factory." Jiang Xiaoyan said in a low voice while looking around, "It''s like a dream."


    "Your electronics factory is a public-private partnership, I can''tpare to it, stop working,e here, I''ll pay you a sry!" Lu Feng teased, "You can be my secretary!"


    "What if I am too clumsy to be a secretary?" Jiang Xiaoyan sat down and said, "You work hard, I don''t understand this line of work. I mess up and suddenly I find myself washing clothes and cooking."


    "What are you talking about, you''re still cleaning up your house, that''s enough, you don''t need to know astronomy and geography!"


    Lu Feng could feel that she was a little flustered. Seeing this, it seemed as if the distance between him and her was widening. She had to adapt, or else they had to go their separate ways.


    The phone on the table rang, and Lu Feng picked up the phone and said, "Jiamei Food Office, who is this?"


    "Hello, I''m from a local newspaper. I want to interview you. Do you have time now?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.


    "Okay, I''m free now."


    After saying a few words and hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him and said, "Is something wrong? Should I go back to work!?."


    "Don''t worry, snacks will be produced in a while, you can try it."


    Duo Duo heard the word "snack", and her eyes lit up; she shouted, "Dad, are there snacks produced here?"


    "Yes, you can eat. Dad¡¯s treat!"


    "Dad!" Duo Duo cried out happily, plunged into Lu Feng''s arms, and said, "I want to obey Dad."


    The interviewer came soon. Now, Lu Feng is definitely a popr character. Jiang Xiaoyan took Duo Duo to the next room. Lu Feng tidied up his clothes and looked at the sses-wearing newspaper girl on his opposite side.


    "Okay, if you have any questions, I hope you can give us more publicity." Lu Feng said with a smile.


    "Yes, in fact, about your name, I have heard it before, and I want to interview, but I have never had the opportunity. As far as I know, you were poor and useless a few months ago."


    Lu Feng nodded, obviously, the other party had done a lot of investigation.


    "You have indeed progressed very quickly. In the morning, I interviewed the owner of Wanyuan Foods, Mr. Ren. He said that you can rise so quickly because of dirty means."


    Lu Feng looked at her, she actually interviewed Ren Qianbo in the morning?


    This is obviously a challenge!


    " Mr. Ren is busy with divorce, and yet he has time for interviews. He sure has a big reputation to keep. It''s not easy. As for the means, I knew that my machine was smashed, and then we all know who is selling canned food the most now. Now, there are factories still doing it, but the only thing left is I don''t know who is dirty after betraying his family."


    "There are already thousands of local children''s food factories. There are rumors from the outside world that when you re-select the industry, you will directly enter the field of children''s food to target Ren Qianbo. What''s the response?"


    Lu Fengughed and said, "Don''t be picky, I am a good friend of President Ren, and he has helped me a lot. As for making children''s food, it is mainly because of high profits and good market prospects. You always refer to Ren Qianbo in the negative, but I wish him a happy divorce!"


    The newspaper interview continued for an hour, and then the TV station came. Facing the camera, Lu Feng was very natural and calm, He kept introducing his factory, and said to the camera that Jiamei was born for the health of children.


    The host didn''t know why he said this, but he was unaware that Lu Feng had set the motto of thispany from the very beginning, and he wanted to use the word "health" to eliminate Wanyuan.


    At six o''clock in the evening, the first batch of snacks came off the assembly line, and a few simple samples were ced on the desk, such as fruit tan skin, corn sausages, quack beans, and small steamed buns.


    Wanyuan is producing all these edibles, they sell very well and are the main products.


    Datou threw a few small steamed buns into his mouth, nodding with satisfaction, "It''s delicious, I remember that Wanyuan''s little steamed buns are 50 cents, it is a big bag though!"


    Lu Feng handed the motorcycle key to Han Dong, "Buy these products of Wanyuan, let me take a look."


    A little over ten minutester, Han Dong came back with a stic bag. The fruit tan skins were in bulk, costing 10 cents a bag, corn sausages were 30 cents (normal size), and a bag of quack beans was 20 cents, containing ten pieces, and the small steamed buns bag was 10 cents.  If in a big bag, fifty cents.


    This kind of packaging is very strategic. Either don¡¯t buy it, or buy a lot of it. If there is no choice, sales will naturally go up. Consumers have passive choices, especially when children cry and want to buy, parents have no choice.


    "Let''s do it the same way as he did, he''s already calcted the profit point, we can just copy it!" Datou expressed his thoughts in a very clever tone.


    "I think so!"


    "Yes, we will close down in ten days then." Lu Feng said ruthlessly.


    "How could it be?"


    The two were dissatisfied.


    "Do you know about differentiatedpetition? How long has Wanyuan been in business, and the brand has also risen a lot. You go to other people''s sites and work with them, you are just courting death." Lu Feng shook his head and said, "You have to do the opposite."


    They didn''t know what Lu Feng was thinking. They didn''t study consumer psychology at all. Lu Feng spent a few days in hisst life for this kind of specialized training, which is called Pricing Psychology!


    "Forget it, let''s talk about it tomorrow!" Lu Feng suddenly raised his head and said with a smile, "We seem to be missing a general manager, right? The general manager wille tomorrow, and we are talking about this topic."


    General manager?


    "You mean Gao Zhiwei?" Datou asked.


    Lu Feng nodded and said, "I''ve been dizzy these days. I forgot that people were still waiting in the hotel. Now that the factory is running, it''s time to tell him."


    "Aren''t you afraid that he wille and set the factory on fire?" Han Dong''s face was full of doubt, "You lied to people who quit their jobs."


    "What is cheating? He''s not a child. He resigned so that he can ept a better job. He shoulde here first, and start off work!"


    Lu Feng stood up and felt that what Han Dong said made sense. Should he put a steel te on his body tomorrow?

 Chapter 42 - Bet!

    Gao Zhiwei was impatient waiting in the hotel, and began to wonder if Lu Feng had gone to the United States?


    There is no contact information for Lu Feng, so he could only wait!


    The next morning: the Metropolitan Morning Post, the newspaper with thergest cirction in the local area, featured a photo of Lu Feng in the headline. The headline on the front page printed the words in bold letters.


    After Gao Zhiwei finished his breakfast, he went to buy a newspaper. When he saw Lu Feng, he was stunned. After carefully reading the report, his mind went nk.


    The reporter not only exaggerated the grievances between Lu Feng and Ren Qianbo, but even coquettishly wrote a love triangle,beling Lu Feng as a farmer entrepreneur, dragon yer, avenger, and adventurer.


    There is a third-rate smell throughout the report, but it''s not surprising that newspapers are now sold entirely by drama.


    "Let me ask, is this true?" Gao Zhiwei said in disbelief.


    "Really, this newspaper is all true. The sugar factory in the suburbs has reopened. As for Ren Qianbo''s wife, Zhang Yali, she was Lu Feng''s nurse. Lu Feng fell in love with Zhang Yali and was robbed by Ren Qianbo. Now he wants to kill Ren Qianbo with his own hands and take back his true love."


    His heart dropped. He felt that this plot isparable to "Thunderstorm", and the death of thunder is not worth it. Today''s newspaper sales were absolutely good.


    Gao Zhiwei was not stupid, he was also a person who travels from south to north frequently. He had never seen any battles before, and he immediately understood. He clutched the newspaper tightly and clenched his teeth, as if he wanted to eat the ones that scammed him!


    "Fuck!!"


    Gao Zhiwei cursed. He wanted to kill someone. His bright future was ruined. The first thing he thought of was to call thepany as soon as possible.


    Went to the phone booth and called Wahaha''s office.


    "Hey, hello, this is Wahaha, who is it?"


    "Hello, I''m Gao Zhiwei, the senior manager who used to be in charge of the market. Can you help me transfer the internal number of Mr. Zong''s office?"


    "Mr. Zong is very busy, what''s the matter with you?"


    "I was in a bad mood a few days ago, but I''ve gotten better these days. I cane back to work, if that''s alright. You can help me transfer to Manager Li of the Personnel Department."


    "Sorry, the marketing department is full now!"


    The phone was hung up, and Gao Zhiwei was stunned. Now thepany is on the rise, and the internalpetition is fierce, but it''s only a few days, and he has missed it.


    There was despair in his eyes, and a mist rose in the eyes of this big man, and he cried in despair.


    "You fucking lied to me!" Gao Zhiwei squatted beside the phone booth and scolded Lu Feng''s ancestor to the eighteenth generation.


    Lu Feng woke up and had breakfast. He sat there and sneezed, thinking to himself who was remembering him. He knew it was Ren Qianbo without asking. After washing up, he wanted to see Gao Zhiwei.


    But do I want to continue with him at this time?


    Renting a Hutou ben costs a lot of money. Lu Feng has been spending a lot of money these days!


    Spending a lot of money, it''s always bad. After changing into a suit and leather shoes, he stood in front of the mirror and surveyed himself. Jiang Xiaoyan walked over to look at him and said with a smile, "You are getting better every day than our neighbors. They all thought you came back from overseas, so you only speak in English."


    Lu Feng was used to speaking English with some simple vocabry, such as thank you and goodbye. The family hadn¡¯t introduced themselves to their new neighbors, so they started assuming Lu Feng came from an overseas trip from his demeanor.


    "Then tell them I came back from overseas, what do you think?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan smiled, looked at Lu Feng, and said, "Now we are standing together, isn''t it particrly ipatible?"


    "What are you talking about? You are so pretty, don''t think about it, okay?" Lu Feng felt that her heart was a little uneasy, he turned his head and put his arms around her neck, their eyes met, making Jiang Xiaoyan a little flustered.


    "You should go to work."


    "Give me a goodbye kiss, you know?"


    "What''s that method of goodbye? Who''s acts like this? Don''t try to be funny, hurry up and go to work. A lot of people are waiting for you."


    Jiang Xiaoyan was ashamed and embarrassed, and pushed Lu Feng''s chest with her hands, but those soft and boneless hands were so soft and the force behind them was negligible for him, Duo Duo ran out of the bedroom, stared at him, and called out, "Dad, shame on you!.¡±


    "The child is asking to be punished!"


    "Don''t bother about her, all the good things have excited her." Lu Feng lowered his head and kissed her as he spoke.


    Jiang Xiaoyan''s eyes widened, rippling like a pool of clear springs, and after a few minutes, their lips parted, Lu Feng then eximed, "I''m busy so I¡¯ll head out first!"


    Lu Feng opened the door and went downstairs. Jiang Xiaoyan sat down on the sofa, still feeling a littleck of oxygen, licked her lips, and the expression on her face was indescribably ambiguous.


    He rented another Hutou Ben, picked up Datou and Han Dong straight to the Lijing Hotel, went upstairs, and found Gao Zhiwei''s door wide open, and he sat on the bed with a decadent face.


    "I''m a little busy these days, I almost forgot about you, I''m really sorry!" Lu Feng apologized


    "Are you drinking tea with Gates, or ying cards with Soros?" Gao Zhiwei raised his head to look at Lu Feng with a sneer on his face, and asked, "I didn''t offend you before, did I?"


    "What are you talking about?" Lu Feng already understood that he had been exposed.


    "Gates invited my master for tea, but he was too busy to go. As for Soros," Datou wanted to give Lu Feng a shoulder, but Lu Feng stopped him.


    "Do you know what I have lost? I joined Wahaha two years ago. From a small workshop to today, I became a marketing manager, then I became a general manager. It is a sure thing that now my two years of hard work are all in vain."


    "You killed me!"


    Gao Zhiwei roared angrily, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he rushed forward, grabbing Lu Feng''s cor and was about to start a brawl when Datou and Han Dong rushed over immediately.


    "Don''t move, let him fight!"


    Lu Feng looked at him, it''s such a time, still struggling?  In Lu Feng''s eyes, he was just a fish. When the greed in his heart was touched, he was already hooked, and now he has entered the.


    "Do you have any rtives here? If you are in a new ce and have no rtives,e, hit me, hit me in the face, you punch me down; I, a local snake will definitely make you feel good!"


    Lu Feng stared provocatively and said, "Come on!"


    Gao Zhiwei was cowardly, he really did not know anyone here, he just came on a business trip, looking at Lu Feng and said solemnly, "You are a rogue!"


    "I didn''t say I''m a good person, what I promised you, I will definitelyply. I have a factory, and Ick a general manager, you can do it!" Lu Feng said what he wanted to say.


    "It''s just a small factory with a hundred people. I really don''t care. I won''t y with you anymore. I would go back. We have factories like yours everywhere." Gao Zhiwei started to pack his things.


    Now it was Lu Feng''s turn to be restless, and he said, "Don''t be so temperamental, let''s do it, the sry is the same as yours!"


    "I will go, I don''t mix with liars."


    "You think that my factory is small, but you know that I was poor and white a few months ago, and now I have such a big factory, Wahaha, which you are proud of, in my eyes, it''s just a milestone two years away. Give me a year and I can make 100 million!"


    Gao Zhiwei stopped when he was packing his clothes, looked at Lu Feng, and said, "Just you?"


    "Trust me, if you don''t believe me, let''s make a bet!"


    "Bet what?"


    "One yearter, if Jiamei doesn''t have 200 million. No matter how much it is worth, I will give it to you. If it is worth 200 million, you have to give me a safeguard for ten years!"


    Seeing that he was so confident, Gao Zhiwei mmed his suitcase on the bed and shouted, "Bet!"

 Chapter 43 - Miracle

    Both sides wrote the contract in ck and white, not only signatures but also fingerprints with duplicates; it was very formal. After Gao Zhiwei put it away, he said, "Anyway, my future ispletely ruined, as you said, ording to my previous job, the sry is two hundred and thirty a month."


    "Two hundred and thirty dors? Are you robbing us?" Datou shouted.


    Lu Feng gave Datou a look, told him to shut up, and said, "Okay, let''s have breakfast early in the morning. I''ll tell you about the situation in the factory by the way."


    From personnel, products, markets, to funds, Lu Feng knows that people don''t need to be suspicious.


    Along the way, Gao Zhiwei''s scalp was numb. This factory has just started to operate, but it has reached the standard of bankruptcy. It is simply the end of the storm.


    In the office, Gao Zhiwei looked at Datou. Ever since he came to know that he was in charge of finance, he had been staring at him like a ghost.


    "What do you think you¡¯re doing?" Datou was a little unhappy.


    "How much money is in the ount for such a big factory?" Gao Zhiwei asked in disbelief.


    Datou took out the ledger and said earnestly, "There are still forty-seven thousand two hundred and sixty-five dors and forty-three cents!"


    "Opening up a market requires advertising and spending money. Besides, what about employee wages?"


    "There are still twenty-six days before the employee''s sry is paid, so don''t worry!" Lu Feng calmly said.


    "What about the raw materials? All in the rears?" Gao Zhiwei felt that he had met a group of gods, and all of them were talents, especially this Lu Feng, a talent among talents.


    Datou then answered, which made Gao Zhiwei feel like weeping!


    "Owe it on credit if you can, if you can¡¯t, let Brother Feng cheat." Datou looked at Lu Feng with admiration.


    "A factory, it doesn''t matter what you want, the foreign enemies are tyrannical, and the inside is full of fools!" Gao Zhiwei scratched his head, sighed, and clenched his fists towards Lu Feng, and said, "I''m sorry, I''d better go back."


    "Don''t go, you believe me, within two months, everything will be avable, and the money wille rushing." Lu Feng advised.


    Gao Zhiwei looked at Han Dong and Datou. The two seemed to be convinced by Lu Feng''s words. He really admired Lu Feng, and he was definitely a master in brainwashing.


    In his eyes, apany can basically dere bankruptcy in this situation, but as everyone knows, this situation is not much better than before.


    "If I remember correctly, there is a snackpany in the local area, and he won''t deal with you."


    "Wanyuan Foods, it''s not enough to prove it, it''s worth several million, it''s just a small business, you stay for two months." Lu Feng said sincerely, "If I go bankrupt, I''ll pay you wages first and buy a train ticket."


    Gao Zhiwei nodded and agreed. He just wanted to see how this person went bankrupt. He had waited for so many days, not less than three or two days.


    "Datou, bring over yesterday''s product and talk to President Gao about the packaging of this product, as well as the market!" Lu Feng said to Datou.


    In the office in Wanyuan Foods, Ren Qianbo¡¯splexion appeared ugly, he threw a newspaper on the table, and said unhappily, "What are they writing about, these garbage newspapers? How about Lu Feng''s factory?"


    "Production started, but the product still hasn''te out. I had a meal with a few of their employees, and they made all our products."


    Liu Biao is the general manager of Wanyuan Foods, but his presence is rtively low, and many things are handled by Ren Qianbo himself!


    "It doesn''t feelpetitive, don''t care too much."


    "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Starting tomorrow, he will reduce the market profit and give profit to those terminal sales. Don''t give him a chance to enter the market. He will die in a few days. It doesn''t matter if he loses. How about canned food?"


    "It''s very good, the daily profit is about 15,000, but the fruit in the vige is gone, so I have to pay in the next two days.


    ¡°We have to stop or use greenhouse fruit, the cost is too high.¡±


    "Then stop!" Ren Qianbo waved his hand with a tired face, "I''ll take a break."


    Gao Zhiwei looked at the several snacks on the table, but didn''t see any features. As for the taste, that''s it, he said, "Just these few?"


    "Yes, let''s start with the psychology of consumers." Lu Feng reiterated yesterday''s problem.


    "Do you still understand consumer psychology?" Gao Zhiwei was a little surprised.


    Lu Feng nced at him without saying a word, Gao Zhiwei analyzed it for a long time, and said, "If you want to go out, you have topete with differentiation, especially in the grocery store. Children are about ten years old, and they are most likely to have consume impulses.  Eye-catching, bright colors allow children to see at a nce and increase exposure.¡±


    Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. A Gao Zhiwei is stronger than ten Daotu and Han Dong, so he doesn''t need to be so tired anymore.


    "Go on."


    "No more, no more ideas!"


    "Wanyuan usesrge packaging, we will use small packaging. A few cents in the child''s hand are also money. The packaging is high-profile and eye-catching. Children should not only eat well, but also have fun. What''s hot recently?  Cartoons, get stickers, characters, put them in there, do an activity, collect as many things, give money, give something!"


    The more Gao Zhiwei listened, the more dumbfounded it became. Although he said it inly from his mouth, he thought about this series from packaging, marketing, and yability, and it was invincible.


    "Is this your idea?" Gao Zhiwei couldn''t believe it. He felt that he needed a very professional team for such a detailed n.


    No matter how thick-skinned Lu Feng is, he is too embarrassed to say that this is his own creation. This set of ssic processes is not made by apany, but a model that you add little by little, and finally form.


    Lu Feng just took over this old-fashioned model after 20 or 30 years. For Gao Zhiwei, it was a shock.


    "You still have some skills. If you do marketing, you feel like you can be a manager or something. Good product marketing doesn''t mean you can enter the market. People have strong control over this kind of terminal market. I can''t even get in." Gao Zhiwei ruthlessly struck.


    "I have a way, don''t worry so much, okay?"


    "That cartoon character is copyrighted. If you don''t have permission, if you put it into your product to do activities, you will be sanctioned!" Gao Zhiwei hurriedly said, "I forgot, you are shameless!"


    Datou couldn''t stand it any longer, and he said, "Either you stay here, if you''re not happy, just leave and don''t sit here sneering."


    "Datou!" Lu Feng motioned Big Head to stop talking.


    "I will design the product packaging myself, and then send it to the supplier. It will be officially produced tomorrow." Lu Feng stood up and said, "Let''s have lunch."


    "You can also design packaging?" Gao Zhiwei was a little surprised.


    "A little bit, what''s wrong?"


    "What''s your education?"


    Lu Feng doesn''t know what his current education is. ording to this life, he graduated from primary school and graduated from graduate school in the previous life. If he said that he is a graduate student now, it would be absolutely shocking.


    "Elementary school!"


    Gao Zhiwei looked at him and was dumbfounded. A group of people walked towards the cafeteria. In order to save money, Lu Feng opened a small cafeteria and cooked for these people.


    Along the way, Gao Zhiwei was a little tangled. This factory seemed to have no future, but Lu Feng was a person who made him unable to figure it out. He was thick-skinned, shameless, dared to think and dared to do, and he knew a lot, from marketing, product design, consumers psychology, etc. This is definitely not an ordinary person!


    The lunch was very simple; potatoes, noodles, cabbage, and a little bit of meat residue. Gao Zhiwei watched Lu Feng eat wildly with a te bigger than his face, and thought to himself, maybe there will be a miracle?

 Chapter 44 - Dinner

    Everyone was busy after dinner. Han Dong was in charge of employee training, and Datou was busy handling finance. Lu Feng headed to the office to draw illustrations; as for Gao Zhiwei, the general manager, he had nothing to do and wandered around the factory.


    A good packaging design requires a professional team to polish it for a long time. If Lu Feng did it himself, it would take several years to reach the same level. He didn''t have the heart to do it, so he copied and painted some ssic packaging from his memories (ofter generations, of course). Half a day was enough to get it done.


    Lu Feng knew it was difficult to enter the market by himself. Others yers could stifle the market in an instant as long as they could reduce their profits, and even the best products will not sell.


    Now was not the age of the Inte, there existparisons and propaganda by media. The small shop owners say that the children will buy whatever is delicious, but even if the product is put forward on a shelf, the sales volume goes up.


    Faced with this situation, Lu Feng decided to act simply: Survival is first priority. As long as the profit earned can pay wages to the employees, he will seed. The simplest businesspetition is the price war, which also happens to be the cruelest: What is the price? What about the execution?


    Everything had just been instigated.


    Some people in the local businessmunity paid attention to him: some were optimistic while some thought he was an immoral person; it became a topic for gossip.


    "Hey, Lao Chen, do you know Lu Feng?" A refined man in his forties with parted hair, asked very casually on the phone.


    "You worry a lot!" The voice at the other end of the phoneughed, "I don''t know him, but I know Ren Qianbo."


    "Are you still in contact with him?"


    "His father-inw used to be in the same unit as me, and then I was transferred to the Hong Leong Group; It''s been very lively here recently. A lot of people are talking about the current urrences." The person at the other end started gossiping.


    There is a severeck of entertainment activities in the era, and many interesting topics are floating everywhere. Some people took the liberty to make up baseless rumors and imed that Lu Feng is eyeing Qianbo''s wife!


    "I haven''t seen you in a while? How about calling this old horse for a drink?"


    "No problem, there are a few new girls in my unit, I''ll bring them as well!"


    "No, it''s boring, call that Lu Feng and Ren Qianbo."


    "Ah?" The other voice froze for a moment, thenplied smiling, "Okay, it''s going to be a lively evening tonight."


    At seven o''clock in the evening: Lu Feng handed over the manuscript to Datou and checked the time, wondering whether he should go to the canteen or the supply and marketing agency.


    The phone rang suddenly, and Lu Feng hurried back to the office to answer the phone.


    "Hey, who is it?"


    "Are you Lu Feng?" The voice on the other end of the phone was arrogant, giving the listener a feeling of inferiority and difort.


    "Yes, and you are?"


    "I''m Chen Mancang, the general manager of Hong Leong Group. I''ve been listening to you a lot these days. I¡¯m having a meal tonight at the canteen of Yegang Group, you know?"


    Lu Feng frowned, not being able to for a while.


    "Hey, do you hear me?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded ufortable.


    "Yes!¡±


    "I heard your reply, what''s wrong?" After that, he hung up the phone.


    When Lu Feng put down the phone, the first thing that came to his mind was that the current steel industry were all state-owned enterprises, and this CEO Chen is also a state-owned enterprise¡¯s boss.


    The other party''s aggressive tone, coupled with the feeling as if inviting you to eat is to give you a face. Lu Feng felt if he went to this dinner tonight, he will be a joke.


    He can handle Ren Qianbo, but he dares not fight with these state-owned enterprises. Although the reform of state-owned enterprises is in progress, there are already many semi-government joint ventures, but they are not thorough.


    What is a state-owned enterprise but an iron rice bowl? It was not until thete 1990s that this iron rice bowl was smashed. (Editor: iron bowl here refers to a steady and good ie that does not let one starve)


    Apany like the one owned by Ren Qianbo is already a privatepany.


    The big, private enterprises are worth millions, and the ones within a city can be counted on one hand. The real nobles are these people, and you can tell so from their tones.


    Those who go to Tianyue Hotel for dinner can only be said to be rich people, and all themonce people drink Maotai(1) in a small cafeteria.


    Lu Feng went through everything that could happen in his mind and instructed Datou to take good care of the factory. He rode his motorcycle to Gao Zhiwei''s side and said, "Hop on!"


    "What are you doing?"


    "Taking you for a delicious meal!" Lu Feng smiled at him, saying, "You don¡¯t have to be afraid, get on the bike!"


    Gao Zhiwei sat behind Lu Feng suspiciously, with an uneasy heart. The motorcycle dashed into the Metallurgical Group area in the suburbs. The five-mile radius here is full of steelmaking sites, including residential buildings, living quarters, and even arge supermarket, not much different from a city center.


    They went straight into the factory, confirmed with the security guard, and went straight to the second cafeteria. Lu Feng stopped at the door finding that Ren Qianbo had just arrived; soon, he opened the door and locked eyes with Ren Qianbo.


    Looking at each other, both of them understood that they are both a joke tonight, and they would be used for entertainment while drinking.


    Lu Feng stepped into the cafeteria and perceived that it was not for ordinary employees. As expected, the people inside wore leather shoes, suits, white shirts, and premium jackets, all of which were customized.


    All he heard around was section chief this, section chief that. Lu Feng engaged himself with something else as he walked because he disliked the atmosphere.


    When he went up to the second floor, the decoration became luxurious instantly, giving them a sense of grandeur. Ren Qianbo''s waist was upright, and he stood there like a pacesetter.


    "Let''s wait in the private room." A waiter came over and pointed to thergest private room.


    "Didn''t you say you would treat me to something delicious?" Gao Zhiwei whispered.


    "Yes, don''t worry, there will be something to eat!"


    "I''m not suitable for this kind of condition. I''m a marketing specialist. I''m most afraid of this kind of waiting, and I don''t dare to speak." Gao Zhiwei frowned and said, "It''s ufortable to talk here, I''m going back."


    "You will bring me back because I''m ¡®not feeling well'' , that''s why I brought you here."


    The two were chatting in whispers, nning their escape just after entering. There was a polite voice outside the door, and the chat became lively. The door opened, and Lu Feng saw five men, all dressed in simr clothes. There were three people in the middle, and two others stood beside them.  With a typical smile, he bowed slightly, with eyes full of sincerity.


    That state is obviously a manifestation of skill, and someone without practice can''t do it.


    "President Ren, when did youe?" Chen Mancang walked in and asked.


    "Mr. Chen, I just came!"


    "You''re Lu Feng from Jiamei Foods, right?"


    "Yes, I am"


    "I was on the winest time, really." Another man chimed in.


    "I said it was fake wine. You still don''t believe it. You still made a bet with me, did you lose?"


    "I didn''t say bet!"


    "Forgive this man, he doesn''t mean anything."


    Lu Feng was a little embarrassed to stand there, but he was used to people like them. When they asked you a question, just after you answered, they will turn around and talk about other things.


    "Sit, sit, sit!"


    Lu Feng sat down, checked his heart rate, and didn''t move, he ate beforeing.


    "Lu Feng, I am the one who invited you here, so let me introduce you." The man in the head position said, "This is the general manager of Hong Leong Group, Mr. Chen, this is the president of the local Agricultural Bank, Mr. Ma. As for me, I am the general manager of this steel smelting group, my surname is Huang."


    Lu Feng showed his respects to each of them as Mr. Huang introduced them one by one. If state-owned enterprises are considered business circles, these three are definitely the top three in the local business circle.


    Everyone chatted, and behaved very well, even Ren Qianbo said something out of courtesy, the atmosphere at the dinner table was not very active. Mr. Huang soon squinted at Lu Feng and said, "Lu Feng, what do you think about Mr. Ren?  Is he your opponent?"

    Maotai (a Chinese liquor)

 Chapter 45 - Nonsense Talk

    Mr. Chen lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "This kid is interesting. You can y with white wolves and empty gloves. Mr. Ren, you have to be careful. I don''t think you can beat him easily."


    "If Mr. Chen said no, then I obviously can''t!" Ren Qianbo said obediently.


    "Look at you, after so many years, you have no ambition at all?" President Ma said while whirling wine inside a ss, "Have a drink."


    After three rounds of wine and five tters of food, Lu Feng realized he drank a little too much. It is impossible to not drink an improper amount in this situation. Mr. Huang looked at Lu Feng and said, "Young man, you are a hero. I know your situation, that factory is the only one you have.  If you can¡¯t rush out after a month, you will go bankrupt.¡±


    "Yes, Mr. Ren, you can resist for a month." Mr. Chen shouted with his finger at Lu Feng, "Just this yellow-haired boy, can you y till he''s wasted?"


    "If that''s the case, didn''t I live in vain?" Ren Qianbo said with a bit of a drunk voice, "He is still too young to have the same knowledge like me. As for Jiamei Food, it won''t evenst a month!"


    "President Ren is way too confident!" Lu Feng said angrily.


    "What, you fighting against me?" Ren Qianbo pped his hands on the table and finished the remaining alcohol in his ss, "I just need to reduce my profit and lose some money; what are you selling? Who is backing you? A monthter, you will not even have your employee''s sry. What will you do when Suppliers and other parts of the chain demand money?"


    The people present acknowledged it; this is a dead-end for Lu Feng. The working capital is too small to resist the beating. He will fall with just a little effort. This is why Gao Zhiwei is not optimistic about Lu Feng.


    Mr. Huang looked at Lu Feng, only to find a rxed face. He wondered whether this young man was confident or a bit too drunk?


    "Why don''t you talk Lu Feng!" Mr. Huang said.


    President Ma took a chopstick and muttered, "You still expect a 20-year-old child to make such a great decision, this is just shit luck."


    "President Ma, this is wrong. He can lower his profits, and so can I. As for how to do it, I won''t tell you, but I''ll do it tomorrow. It''s about money."


    Lu Feng snorted, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and he said solemnly, "Do you think I look like someone whocks money?"


    Everyone stared at his face and nodded, he was definitely very short in the money department.


    "In this day and age, money is everywhere, and there is no shortage of money!" Lu Feng looked at President Ma, stood up, and said, "The person I admire the most is the President."


    " I can''t give you a loan. Let''s just talk." President Ma said with a smile.


    "What are you talking about, I''m done!" Lu Feng raised his head and sighed, turned to look at Gao Zhiwei, and whispered, "You are driving, now find me a camera."


    "What do you want a camera for?"


    "Don''t worry about it so much, go!"


    Ren Qianbo put down his chopsticks and said, "I''m here today, and I''ll tell the truth, Lu Feng, your factory can''t be saved even if the gods descend!"


    Mr. Huang pondered for a while and felt Ren Qianbo was right. It was already a dead end. The follow-up funds were weak and he didn''t have much momentum. As for taking a loan from President Ma, it was purely a joke, and they were not eating with him for this purpose.


    "That''s what I want to tell you, your factory won''tst evenst a few days; and if you continue to y tricks with me, don''t me me for what happens next." Lu Feng then replied with a sullen face, "If you want to y, I will y with you, but in my eyes, you are not an opponent. My opponent is in Zhejiang, in Hangzhou!"


    "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"


    "You are killing me!!"


    "Hahahahahaha!"


    "It''s definitely up there, but you can''t reach it even if you try."


    Not only did Mr. Huangugh, but even Ren Qianboughed. Lu Feng was referring to Wahaha. He couldn''t even pay the employees'' sries next month, and he was still thinking a long way.


    "I think this young man, Lu Feng, is still a bit wise. I have always been generous to young people, and today I am also the one who ran the game." Mr. Huang pondered for a while and said, "That''s it, Metallurgical Steel is here to leave a way for you. Long-term work is impossible, but contract work is no problem."


    Mr. Chen originally thought Mr. Huang was just watching the fun, but he didn''t expect him to be so interested in Lu Feng as to offer him something, but as the general manager of arge enterprise, he had worked in many state-owned and mixed enterprises. This person is definitely a big man with a manly presence.


    Everyone gave him a way out, and basically, Jiamei Foods had already been sentenced to death. Ren Qianbo leaned back in his chair and sneered,ughing at Lu Feng''s whimsy behavior, thinking that a factory could copse so easily.


    "You should thank Mr. Huang. Do you know how many people want this offer? Mr. Huang must think of you as a talent." President Ma pointed out.


    Lu Feng really didn''t expect that there are people like President Huang, so he hurriedly stood up and held President Huang''s hand in both hands and said, "Thank you, President Huang, I appreciate the kindness but I don''t need it."


    Don¡¯t need it?


    Everyone looked sideways, even Gao Zhiwei who came back with a camera stood by, did not expect Lu Feng to refuse directly.


    Mad!


    Crazy to the end.


    His refusal was to give Ren Qianbo a big p in the face, making him confused.


    "Hehehe!" Ren Qianboughed with an emotionless face, "It seems that someone has to go to the street to beg for food in a month, you are indeed shameless!"


    Mr. Huang stared at Lu Feng, smiled, and said, "Maybe this is what it means to be young."


    "I happened to bring a camera today, and I was really excited to meet the three of you. In my heart, the three of you are my idols. I''ve been thinking about it day and night and finally saw my idols in the flesh today. When I received the call, I was excited beyond measure, with tears in my eyes!"


    Gao Zhiwei¡¯s head was full of question marks. This is way too exaggerated. He had an intuition. when Lu Feng does not behave like himself, he is trying to trick people. This man may have nned some bad tricks in his mind.


    "I want to take a photo with you all, ce it in a frame, and put it on my desk to motivate myself." Lu Feng said very sincerely, and President Ma and President Chen were already drunk.


    Hearing this kind of ttery, the three floated up to the sky and said yes.


    Mr. Huang squinted and nced at Gao Zhiwei. Bringing a camera to dinner on ident? This is bullshit.


    "I don''t like taking pictures. Forget it, you can take pictures with them." Mr. Huang refused to drink too much.


    Lu Feng stood at the wine table and put his arms around President Ma. Gao Zhiwei snapped several pictures, and then took a few pictures of Lu Feng with Mr. Chen as well. Lu Feng wanted to take a picture with Mr. Huang, but the other party stubbornly refused, so he had to give up.


    Ten o''clock at night: the crowd dispersed, Gao Zhiwei returned the camera, and would take the developed photos in a few days.


    "Great harvest!"


    "Liar, what did you do?"


    "Tsk!" Lu Feng clicked his tongue and said in a sullen voice, "I am a serious man, I will start implementing my n on Wanyuan Foods tomorrow, I have to start doing everything that needs to be done, and the effect will be seen within ten days. My product will upy hundreds of local markets within a month. Swallow Wanyuan within three months, and expand toward the whole province."


    "Three months is still far away, where will you find the sry for next month?" Gao Zhiwei parked the motorcycle on the side of the road and lit a cigarette. Lu Feng (who was slightly drunk) gritted his teeth, "I really want to smoke now. Wait!"


    "Fight me now. I can''t stand still right now, but I can fight. After the fight, you have to apany me to a meeting. I can''t talk fool everyone in a meeting during the day."


    "Sometimes I think you''re a little capable, and sometimes I think you do nothing but cheat. You even cheat by digging corners, even conning someone like me."


    Gao Zhiwei took a few puffs of his cigarette as Lu Feng voiced his thoughts.


    "I have enough confidence to build Jiamei, and then leave it to you to take care of. When the timees, I will work with higher-end industries and build a huge business empire: Inte, retail, finance, entertainment¡­"


    "Everyone talks nonsense after drinking." Gao Zhiwei sighed helplessly, got on the motorcycle again, turned his head, and said, "Hold on tight, don''t fall off!"

 Chapter 46 - Skin Test

    When they reached the new apartment, Jiang Xiaoyan was distressed and annoyed when she saw him. She along with Gao Zhiwei somehow helped him upstairs. Lu Feng was already drunk beyond measure and kept struggling.


    "Don''t touch me. Secretary Li, give these people money and make them leave!"


    Lu Fengy on the bed muttering endlessly and very arrogantly.


    "Do you know who I am? I''m Lu Feng! the CEO of S&P Technology?! I have money."


    Jiang Xiaoyan and Gao Zhiwei were confused. Lu Feng said some iprehensible words, short video, new media, 5G Inte, the era of technological innovation, global trade¡­.what had gotten into him?


    "Is his brain okay?" Gao Zhiwei felt that Lu Feng was going crazy.


    "No. Thank you for bringing him back, sit down and have some water." Jiang Xiaoyan said courteously.


    "No, it''s time for me to go back." Gao Zhiwei refused politely, turned his body, and went down the flight of stairs.


    Jiang Xiaoyan closed the door, her smiling face disappeared, and as she walked to the bed, she found Duo Duo lying beside him and pounding him with her little hands, shouting "Stinky Baba, Smelly Baba!"


    "He is dead drunk, forget it. It''s just like before." Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him and the painful memories emerged in her mind, making her even angrier. She raised her hand and pped him tightly twice on the thigh.


    "You dare to hit me?" Lu Feng hummed.


    "Yo, didn''t you drink till numb? Do you know it hurts?"


    Lu Feng just felt that he was spinning. One bottle of white wine and five bottles of beer were already his limits. The memories in his mind were chaotic; his past and present life kept appearing before his eyes.


    He felt he had returned to ten years ago. When he had just started his own business, his life could not be maintained because of regrly losing money. His girlfriend, whom he once used to make oaths with him broke up with him in a quarrel about him wanting to change a mobile phone.


    This incident was always very amusing to him. He used to think as long as two people were together, all difficulties would be small, but how many women in the world are willing to apany him?


    "Don''t think I''m poor, or have no money. Wait, I''ll find you when I get rich."


    Jiang Xiaoyan wiped his face with a towel, her hands froze on the spot when she heard his words, looked at him in the face, and said, "What did you say? You should speak with conscience, when did I think you were poor? You can''t hold back the truth after drinking some wine. Hey, what are you looking for?"


    "I''m looking for a pretty one!"


    Jiang Xiaoyan, furious, threw the towel into the basin, kicked the basin several times, and kicked Lu Feng off the bed, covering her face and crying herself to sleep.


    The next day at eight o''clock in the morning, Lu Feng woke up and found himself lying on the ground, he got up and asked, "Howe I am sleeping on the ground?"


    "I didn''t throw you on the road, I already gave you some courtesy." Jiang Xiaoyan reached out, opened the curtains, and asked, "People say everyone tells the truth after drinking, is that true?"


    Lu Feng massaged his head with his hand, remembering what he saidst night, he smiled awkwardly and said, "No, can the wine talk be serious?"


    "Isn''t it amazing, to find someone beautiful? Go, you have the strength now."


    "I was wrong, there''s no one more beautiful than you." Lu Feng put his arms around her slender waist from behind, feeling emotional. Perhaps the most important thing for him in this life is that there is a woman who is sincere and stays by his side.


    "Stop it!"


    Lu Feng was busy changing his clothes while coaxing Jiang Xiaoyan. From time to time, he made small movements to stir up the two girls. He was like a loyal guard.


    Post breakfast, Lu Feng squatted down and kissed Duo Duo and dered seriously, "When Dad makes money, he will definitely send you to kindergarten, I swear!"


    "How old would she be when she can go to school?" Jiang Xiaoyan saw through Lu Feng''s thoughts at a nce and rolled her eyes from him. "Aren''t you busy, you still have other thoughts on your mind!"


    Lu Feng stood up, hugged her, and kissed her fiercely. He then went downstairs with his bag.


    What happened at the dinnerst night had spread all over the local businessmunity. Now everyone is waiting for the show. ording to Mr. Huang, Lu Feng is a salted fish turning over. Whether he can turn the situation around depends on his own ability.


    When Lu Feng went to the factory, the day before¡¯s product design and packaging had been implemented, and the first batch was produced. The price was cheaper than Wanyuan''s, and the profit given to terminal sales was greater.


    On his desk, there shone a brightly colored stic sign with severalrge characters, ¡®Jiamei, born for children''s health¡¯, among which the word "health" is marked in green, making it very eye-catching and appealing.


    Gao Zhiwei flipped through the brand files and read the following row of words aloud, "¡¯ This product has won the international safety certification, and is a national children''s food-grade 5A product¡¯. Isn''t this a straight lie?"


    "This is called marketing, don''t talk if you don''t understand." Lu Feng waved his hand.


    "I went for a walk in a few canteens this morning. Wanyuan''s products are all in front, and the wholesale market is also exerting its strength. Even if you manage to squeeze in, it will be a bloodbath."


    "Then I''ll squeeze in." Lu Feng put away the sign and continued, "I am heading to the market now. Follow me, Mr. Gao."


    Gao Zhiwei was curious to see what tricks he had andplied with themand appropriately. He observed arge number of products in the back seat and asked, "What are you going to do? Trick those canteen bosses to put your products in the front?"


    "I will lie. And, give him arger share of the profit."


    Lu Feng rode his motorcycle to the canteen opposite the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Right now, the students are in ss, so there is no one except the staff in the canteen. The boss of the canteen sat there reading the newspaper, the headline being Lu Feng.


    "Hello, boss." Lu Feng greeted him as he approached.


    The boss raised his head and nced at him, then looked at the newspaper again, confirmed it back and forth two-three times, and said in surprise, "You are the person in the newspaper, right?"


    "Yes, yes, as you can see it." Lu Feng felt like an inte celebrity, so long as he was famous, he could talk to anyone.


    "Bah, you shameless bastard, you are honored to y with other people''s wives, aren''t you?" The boss spat.


    Lu Feng''s head was full of ck lines, as he took a closer look. He didn''t know the newspapers were so broken there. They wrote a bunch ofce news along with the Metropolitan Daily. The second edition even printed a bikini beauty.


    As for the product, they didn''t even mention it. The boss told him to go away, thinking he was unlucky!


    Gao Zhiwei contained hisughter seeing Lu Feng''s embarrassed look, he was afraid of annoying him so he had to hold back.


    "It''s funny? Do you think this kind of rotten newspaper made the headlines for me just naturally, did someone pay them for it?" Lu Feng sighed, "The next one."


    Gao Zhiwei thought about it carefully, and it was indeed really wrong, what happened to Lu Feng. Lu Feng also appeared in the newspaper once. These years the newspapers are as numerous as the social media articles twenty or thirty yearster.


    They went to four or five stores in a row, and all of the products were disyed. They left the goods there and put the brand poster on the counter. Theprehensive profit of these snacks is 63%, and 600% is given to the merchants.  No one will refuse, they were literally just throwing money.


    At ten o''clock, Jiamei''s snacks were ced on disy in all the fifteen canteens. Lu Feng did not continue, but squatted opposite an elementary school canteen and lit a cigarette.


    "You rely on these fifteen canteens to make money?" Gao Zhiwei wondered.


    "These fifteen canteens are being used for experiments. Do you know that the first time someone uses penicillin, there is a skin test done first?" Lu Feng stared at him and continued, "I''m doing a skin test right now."


    "Skin test?"


    As the school bell rang, the children rushed out, making the canteen overcrowded in an instant. They were all too familiar with the canteen and were a little curious when faced with the sudden appearance of Jiamei Snacks.


    "What is this?"


    "Eat, y, there is a little person in it, and if you collect it, you can exchange it for gifts."


    "Five cents each."


    "I''ll buy one!"


    A child bought one, and when he unpacked it, there were a few quack beans, and a thumb-sized stic figure, the ck bear!


    Another kid took it apart and found a golden horn king.(EN: These are Chinese fictional characters.)


    "Your ck bear monster is not as powerful as King Golden Horn." Lu Feng said from the side, "There is abat strength meter on the bag, and yourbat strength is only a few hundred, you can''t beat it."


    Knowing that the King of the Golden Horn in his hand is very powerful, the child screamed with ecstasy, and the other child was very dissatisfied and took out five cents to buy another pack.


    "Are you sober?" Gao Zhiwei stared at Lu Feng as if he was mentally retarded, and said, "Squatting here and provoking children?"


    Lu Feng said with a smile on his face, "I''m adding fire to their desires. So far, the skin test results are not bad!"

 Chapter 47 - Rumor

    Gao Zhiwei couldn''t fully understand Lu Feng''s words, but the development with the next few children surprised him. There was a battle of strength tables of the internal characters on the packaging bag.


    As the two children took out the things, others also became itchy, making some kids buy one and so the battle began.


    "I''m better than you a little!"


    "I have six-eared macaques, it is obviously stronger than yours."


    Superiority and vanitye into y when one has a character with higherbat power, it will be the focus of the audience and no child will want to be left behind.


    Lu Feng went through all the fifteen canteens, and observed simr scenarios, except for the canteen opposite the high school, the little toys were obviously not attractive to them.


    At noon, in a noodle restaurant, Lu Feng ate noodles in gulps. Sweating all over his head, Gao Zhiwei said, "I''m starting to admire you."


    "What do you admire me for?"


    "You have a dark heart, guts to do what needs to be done, and actually y with children''s psychology. That brand is a reassurance for parents so that they will not reject it. When adults do not let children buy it because of unhealthy conditions, children can take the words on the brand as a shield."


    Lu Feng nodded, putting the noodle bowl down and burping, "That''s it, you admire it? I haven''t started ying yet!"


    "I think it''s not a loss for you to go to anypany to do marketing that gives you the position of vice president." Gao Zhiwei pondered for a while and said, "If you want to go to the south with me, I have many contacts. Let me introduce them to you."


    "I will go to the south; when I sweep the four directions, I will go. Let''s get to work!" Lu Feng stood up to pay the bill.


    "What are you going to do?"


    "Give Mr. Ren his eye drops (EN: He is implying here that Ren should be able to see him clearly). Tamar''s, buy a small newspaper topile my peach-colored news, it''s cheap. I''m a dignified gentleman, and I''m not afraid of shadows." Lu Feng counted the money that he handed to the boss of the canteen and praised himself, as the boss. Everyone frowned.


    In addition to staring at production, Liu Biao has been staring at Lu Feng these days. In the office, Liu Biao briefly exined the situation.


    "The profits are basically given to themissary. His sales are good, but the losses are also too much, so it can''t just be the climate that is making his sales good." Liu Biao pondered for a while and said, "But the strategy they used is really great, do you want to follow up?"


    "You can follow up. As long as he doesn''t solve the follow-up funding problem, nothing will be useful. No matter how good the product is, it''s just the icing on the cake." Ren Qianbo said solemnly.


    "Mr. Ren, if the product sells well, what if someone invests? I think that President Huang is very     optimistic about him." Liu Biao was very worried.


    Ren Qianbo''s brows furrowed, he thought for a while and replied, "How much money does he have, if someone gives him 1.5 million and asks him to continue to give the profit to the terminal business, then I can''t bear it, Mr. Huang has over hundred times of 500,000? And if even President Ma dares to put so much money on him then I won''t mess with him, with so many people helping him."


    Liu Biao nodded in agreement.


    Mr. Huang held a simple report in his hand. It was just about a small snack for children, after reading it, Mr. Huang was a little surprised that Lu Feng yed with so many colors.


    "Talent!"


    "Unfortunately, not to mention talents, even geniuses have no funds and can''t bear starting a business from scratch. Eventually, they go bankrupt." Mr. Huang put the report aside. He felt that Lu Feng was a clever person. If he could work under him, he might give him surprises.


    It was already mid-September; although autumn was just around the corner, at noon, the sun was still hot. Gao Zhiwei covered his head with his hands, nced at the sign of the dance hall, and said, "Didn''t you say Ren Qianbo is disgusting? What are you doinging to the dance hall? What, is his wife working here?"


    "Why are your thoughts so dirty?" Lu Feng sighed and walked up the stairs.


    "You''re not serious, people can''t me me for thinking crooked. "


    During the day, the ce is closed and there are no people. There are a few girls sitting at the door ying cards with cigarettes in their mouths, giggling. When they saw Lu Feng, a girl joked, "Boss, it¡¯s noon, can''t you hold back a little.  What is it?"


    "I''m looking for someone, I am here to meet Mad Dog."


    "Brother Gou is sleeping upstairs, don''t disturb other people''s sleep, he has a great temper!"


    Lu Feng ignored them and walked upstairs. Gao Zhiwei didn''t expect Lu Feng''s would be involved with any crooks, and reminded him, "Keep away from such people, lest you want to be personally involved one day. They are all bad people."


    "In my eyes, there are no good or bad people, there are only useful and useless." Lu Feng went upstairs as he continued, and a few bastards at the entrance of the private room were ying mahjong.


    "Call Mad Dog up. I want to talk to him about something."


    One of the youngerckeys knew Lu Feng and hurriedly agreed. He walked towards the next room. A few minutester, Mad Dog came in yawning and saw Lu Feng, "Boss Lu, what''s the matter, can''t we talk at night?"


    "No, big job. go to sleep first if you''re sleepy!"


    "Not sleepy! Not sleepy!" Brother Gou hurriedly cheered up.


    Some of the youngerckeys who had never met Lu Feng looked at him in astonishment. Who does not know the name of the Mad Dog, ¡®what exactly did this man do to make Brother Go so obedient?¡¯


    They don''t know that in front of money, everyone''s the same, they are all children!


    "Make 10,000 copies of the content on this piece of paper, and post it all over the city at night, understand?" Lu Feng put a piece of paper on the table.


    "A small advertisement?" Mad Dog was a little dissatisfied.


    "If you don''t want to do the job, guess we can''t help it. But you will be losing the chance to earn two thousand dors!"


    "Consider them pasted!"


    "Find someone to do the work. It''s better to pick work in numbers and finish it quickly." Lu Feng ordered.


    Gao Zhiwei picked up the piece of paper, and it was written on it that Zhang Cuifang, a seven-year-old boy, ate snacks made by Wanyuan Foods, resulting in food poisoning.  He was severely injured, the poster even had his home address and ID number in it. The description was so detailed that it was hard for people to not believe it.


    "Don''t worry!" Brother Feng nodded.


    Before leaving, Lu Feng left a deposit of 1,000 dors, and he would pay the rest after the task is done.


    Coming out of the bar, Lu Feng got on his motorcycle and shouted, "Go to the next newspaper office and publish a report on children¡¯s food safety!"


    Lu Feng spent another 500 dors to publish a report full of new media style in some local newspapers with arge cirction.


    ¡®Shock!  Children''s food was full of carcinogens, how dare you give it to children?¡¯


    Although there is no mention of Wanyuan in the whole article, all kinds of clues point to Wanyuan.


    On the way back, it was already after five o''clock in the afternoon. Gao Zhiwei sat behind the motorcycle and said, "It''s scary to have an opponent like you."


    "Scary?" Lu Feng looked at his face from the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "The business world works on thew of the jungle, there are only two choices: survival, death."


    "Then what about your follow-up funds?"


    "I have a way, don''t ask. In this era, money is everywhere."


    Gao Zhiweiughed, with mixed feelings in his heart. In fact, he wanted to leave, but he was curious, what else could this lunatic do next.


    "I don''t think it''s strange that you would take me to rob a bank tomorrow."


    "Don''t worry, I won''t do that stupid thing." Lu Feng rode his motorcycle directly into the factory, got up, and shouted at Han Dong working inside the factory, "Call Datou toe to my office for a meeting!"

 Chapter 48 - Public Opinion

    In Jiamei Food¡¯s office, everyone looked at Lu Feng oblivious of what to do.


    "Starting tomorrow, a group of people will go out, set up a business department, and introduce the products to all supermarkets, canteens, and wholesale markets while giving the maximum profit to terminal sales. As long as you are willing to help us sell goods, you can sign a contract without any threshold, understood?"


    "You don''t need to charge for the goods, you just need to sign a contract and mortgage a copy of the owner''s ID card. If you can''t buy the goods, just take the goods. If you sell the goods, you will give them bulk profits. We will take the capital, understood?"


    Datou frowned and said, "This is too much, what are you earning, just shut down!"


    "Boss Lu, the loss is too great." Han Dong also felt that something was not enough.


    "It is definitely a loss. In business, how can you make money if you don''t lose some? Remember to find some smart people in the business department." Lu Feng said to Gao Zhiwei, "No one in the business department understands that better than you, so worry more."


    Datou still felt ufortable. When he made canned food, he made money when he came to work, making money every day. But now he manages the finances and looks over at the money in the ount.


    "Brother Feng, when will we be able to make money? For such arge factory, there are hundreds of wages every day. What about the maintenance items, and the small cafeteria to eat? I can''t say the products will not sell; they might sell, yet they will still be paid for.  Debts are a bit unreasonable."


    Gao Zhiwei could see that Datou and Han Dong didn''t understand the market at all, let alone business. They sat aside and Lu Feng dered, "It''s hard, I''ve lost my game, maybe I won''t make any money in my life, everyone is red-eyed. Win and make money.¡±


    "How will we make money then?" Datou wondered.


    "Wanyuan over there."


    "Ren Qianbo has been silent for a long time, it has nothing to do with us!" Han Dong said.


    "Don''t ask too much, just listen to me. You take care of production, and you take care of finances." Lu Feng assigned Han Dong and Datou their roles respectively.


    The two just nodded. When such a big factory cannot make a profit, that kind of pressure makes everyone feel depressed, even the always cheerful Datoucked smiles.


    After the two left, Gao Zhiwei asked Lu Feng, "I''ve never heard of it, what do you want to do with a copy of someone''s ID card as a pledge?"


    "None of your business, get the business department ready already!"


    "Are you using those ID cards to get a loan?" Gao Zhiwei took a cigarette from the table and lit it. "I can understand it better now than in the past two days. I admit that you are very capable. If you have a rtionship with Ren Qianbo, he ceases to be your opponent. Right now though, you are fragile, and those two honest men don''t believe you."


    "What an honest man you are, speaking so unpleasantly to my face, that''s my brother." Lu Feng lit a cigarette and exhaled.


    "Using other people''s identity information to obtain loans is against thew, and that President Ma will do it for you?" Gao Zhiwei felt that he was a little whimsical, and sucked his lit cigarette, "Since I met you, every day has been like a dream, what do you do? It''s all heart-stopping schemes. You fill me in on the n or I''ll go home."


    "Want me to go to jail?" Lu Feng grinned and replied, "I''m afraid you have to wait for that day, so go back and rest early. By the way, isn''t it expensive to stay in a hotel?"


    "You think?"


    "Next to the office, it used to be the reception room; there is a bed though. You can live there. Consider it the general manager''s privilege from the factory." Lu Feng walked up to Gao Zhiwe, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If you can''t sleep at night, just choose A few employees to talk with, of course, they have to be male employees, don''t mess around. it won''t end well if you do."


    Gao Zhiwei looked at him coldly. This man, who always thinks about exploiting others, living in a factory? It is estimated that he is moreborious than others.


    "I''m still staying in a hotel."


    "I allow you to give lectures to female employees, okay?"


    "Go away, what do you think I am? ¡°


    ¡°Do you have a wife?¡±  Gao Zhiwei was a little anxious. Thinking of his wife''s heartache, he sighed and said, "I called my wife some time ago and said that I met a big boss in the north and woulde back after making a lot of money at the end of the year. This is why I dare not go back."  I admit, there is a trace of hope in my heart, and I feel that a miracle will happen to you.


    "Work hard. I promise you won''t disappoint your wife by the end of the year. I promise you on my own head." Lu Feng persuaded him for a while. He had to make sure that Gao Zhiwei would work for the factory wholeheartedly, and the battle would be fierce.  The whole factory needs his expertise.


    Lu Feng was going to throw his arms around and work with Ren Qianbo.


    Gao Zhiwei agreed and went to the factory to pick people up for training overnight!


    The factory was under a lot of pressure, and Lu Feng didn''t want to take these emotions home. When he went back, he bought some food and a new doll for Duo Duo.


    Early the next morning, just as it was nned, someone came out to find work, saw the paper posted on the telephone pole, and whispered, "I am Zhang Cuifang, my son is seven years old."


    Papers like this were posted all over the city overnight. As the first batch of newspapers was delivered to the readers in the morning, it was written in the Light Weekly, Surprise!  Children''s food is full of carcinogens


    This title is so eye-catching, food safety, child safety, and most importantly, cancer, these two words make anyone''s heart skip a beat!


    With the authority of the newspapers in the streets and alleys, a whirlpool of public opinion is forming, directly pointing at the Wanyuan Food Factory. Local TV stations and newspapers have already captured the different opinions, and they squatted outside the factory at 8:30 in the morning.


    "Mr. Ren, can I interview you?" The interviewer asked.


    "About food safety, can youply?"


    "It''s just that something happened to our factory. I heard that a woman named Zhang Cuifang was beaten."


    Ren Qianbo was full of question marks when asked. His first reaction was to exin that he didn''t know anything. The more he exined, the worse it became. He could only shut up and drove into the factory.


    It was almost nine o''clock when Lu Feng arrived at the factory. Gao Zhiwei was busy for the first time in a while, chatting with a few employees and holding a few newspapers in his hand, talking andughing.


    "I''ll be waiting for you on the rickshaw for a while." Gao Zhiwei waved his hand and walked over to Lu Feng, "You''re so cruel, I heard that there are already a lot of memoirs to investigate, and it also alerted children''s rights meetings.¡±


    "Oh!" Lu Feng said calmly.


    "This works very well, why are you unhappy?"


    "This is a trick in the business world. There are many people in the meeting. At this time, I have a better stand up and write a report letter and submit it. It is absolutely normal. Under the pressure of public opinion, he has to stop work for inspection, at least half a month." Lu Feng said seriously.


    "Then you can write now also. In half a month, we''ll make about the same amount of money, so we can take a breather!" Gao Zhiwei hurriedly said.


    "Do you know who Ren Qianbo''s father-inw is? What''s the use of handing it over?"


    "Didn''t they get divorced?"


    "Yeah, they can''t even push the husband, or push me for a report letter?" Lu Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don''t have to worry about it, I''ll do it myself, and you can fix the business department first."


    In the morning, the entire Wanyuan Food Factory was jumping, and the eyes of the whole city were gathered here. Ren Qianbo was busy with all kinds of exnations and took TV reporters to tour the factory.


    Mr. Huang kept talking on the phone and knew the situation well. He leaned back on the chair and mmed his mouth down as if he had tasted the delicious food. He picked up the strong teacup on the table, took a sip, and spat out the tea foam.


    "This kid is a talented guy. He''s really ruthless. If Ren Qianbo has no foundation, or his butt is not clean, I''m afraid it''s over!"


    Mr. Huang thought about it and felt that it was necessary to chat with him!

 Chapter 49 - Huangs Shock

    Ren Qianbo''s embarrassment sent a strong signal to the entire city''s businessmunity. Lu Feng is not to be provoked, but he is underhanded if you don¡¯t have such a profound background as him and weren¡¯t provoked.


    In the morning, Gao Zhiwei took 20 or 30 people to promote Jiamei Food everywhere. With Gao Zhiwei''s ability, it was very simple, and the most important thing was that it made too much profit.


    ording to Gao Zhiwei''s words, this is a big coin offering. There is no reason for merchants not to ept it. The profit from selling was theirs. If it could not be sold, the goods will be bought by the factory.


    From the canteen to the wholesale market, Wanyuan Foods has not been able to hold on, and Jiamei has fully settled in, even some billboards were ced in front of Wanyuan.


    It''s just that the price Lu Feng paid was too great, and he was elerating the burning of the few remaining funds.


    After two o''clock in the afternoon, Ren Qianbo finally finished his work, sat in the office. He looked at Liu Biao opposite to him, and said, "Manager Liu, you don''t know that such a big thing happened in the factory, I was blocked at the door in the morning."


    Liu Biao was about to cry. How could he go to find out, but he couldn''t shirk it. Mr. Ren was full of anger he needed someone to vent out. The manager was really sad, being used as a vent.


    After the scolding, Ren Qianbo felt morefortable, lit a cigarette, and said, "What''s the situation in the market?"


    "At noon, I chatted with their employees. Basically, there is no problem with the supply. The wholesale market has also begun to sell and they are in the city, basically. Next, the countryside and the vige will distribute their goods, and they will be out today.  Four trucks of goods, to clear some inventory."


    "What about profit?"


    "I asked somemissary owners; they really don''t make money. If they go on like this, we don''t need to do anything. He will kill himself. Selling goods that are not profitable. Isn''t there a problem with his head?" Liu Biao nodded confidently.  "Don''t worry about it, let him fend for himself."


    It was this kind of nonsense that Ren Qianbo liked listened to, ¡®what will destroy Lu Feng¡¯,, "How much money does he have in his ount?"


    "I don''t know that."


    "If I let him distribute the goods again, I''ll be annoyed. If the market is upied, it''s a war of attrition. He''s worn out, and I''m also getting tired." Ren Qianbo frowned as he spoke. He was just stretched.


    "Yeah, our profits have fallen sharply, it''s best to make him go bankrupt as soon as possible!"


    Ren Qianbo nodded, sat there thinking for ten minutes then said, came back to his senses, "I''ll leave it to you, the mysterious Liu Cuifang posted outside to find out whoever posted it, give Mr. Zuo a call.  Call and invite him to dinner."


    "Which Zuo boss?"


    "Supplier Zuo!" A smile appeared on Ren Qianbo''s face, and he smiled sullenly saying, "I will give him a bottom-up sry, and let it be in Tianyue!"


    Standing in front of the warehouse, Lu Feng watched thest batch of goods supposed to be taken away that day. He was unspeakably happy. There was such arge demand on the first day, which showed that the products were very popr among children.


    Datou was sitting beside him smoking a cigarette, his face was as ugly as a pig''s liver. Seeing him like this, Lu Feng kicked his foot and said, "It''s like someone at your home has died. Why don''t you enjoy life a bit more?"


    "I really don''t know why you are so happy; you are the one losing money, we have to pay 25 dors for each car that goes out, what do you want? Spend Twenty-five dors to eat outside? Won¡¯t that taste delicious?"  He could not understand.


    "Do you understand the market? To upy, the first step is to burn money to grab the market, do you understand?" Lu Feng crouched down and said, "We will win, we will lose money in the front, but the money at the back wille rushing."


    "Crash came and I didn''t see it, anyway, every day I went there." Datou sighed and said, "Less than 30,000 left for assembly line maintenance. Such arge factory, today is short of hammers. Tomorrow will be short of nails.  Each nail costs money."


    "I know, about routine maintenance!"


    Lu Feng wanted tofort him and cheer him up. The aunt who cleaned the office called out, "Mr. Lu, your phone is ringing."


    Lu Feng went back to pick up the phone and said, "Who is it?"


    "Me, Huang Youwei of Metallurgical Group."


    "Mr. Huang, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Lu Feng said with a smile.


    "I didn''t do anything today. I watched the show for a day, and it was lively. Now, this show is temporarily over. I want to invite you as an actor to dinner." President Huang''s voice was full of ridicule.


    "I don''t dare, it''s just a courtesy exchange. I don''t dare to y a big show in front of you. An expert like you can see it clearly."


    "Stop talking nonsense, your pet is under control. I know you are short of funds. I will treat you. Tianyue Hotel,e quickly, I will leave now."


    "Ah? This is me." Lu Feng originally thought of having a meeting with Gao Zhiwei at night to collect market feedback.


    In any case, a person like President Huang is not just any businessman. He has a state-owned enterprise behind him. If a transfer order is issued tomorrow, he may be a leader somewhere.


    Appreciation of such a character can be regarded as a way out for Lu Feng.


    "Okay, but it''s my treat, I don''t dare to let you spend money." Lu Feng said politely and hung up the phone.


    At seven o''clock in the autumn evening, when the sky is gray and the air is cool. If you look at it carefully, you will find that the leaves on the roadside have quietly turned yellow.


    Autumn is silent.


    Ren Qianbo''s car was parked at the Tianyue Hotel. He did not head upstairs. After waiting for a few minutes, another car drove over and walked down a bald man in his fifties with a smile on his face. Dirty was the best description.


    "Long time no see Zuo!" Ren Qianbo stepped forward and said enthusiastically.


    "Why did you invite me to dinner all of a sudden? It was very lively today. I never stopped calling. You are always on the Three Treasures Hall." Zuo said with a smile.


    "You see that you are making fun of me, so I can''t treat you to dinner?"


    The two went upstairs with a smile.


    A few minutester, Lu Feng rode his motorcycle and stopped near Ren¡¯s car. He was stunned when he saw Ren Qianbo''s car. After thinking for a while, there was no need for Mr. Huang to gather the two of them together again, right?


    He didn''t even talk about Ren Qianbo?


    What are you going to do? To be a peacemaker, to meditate?


    Lu Feng can''t understand, unless Huang Youwei likes to do this kind of thing, or else he will cause a show and go upstairs with doubt.  ¡°Son."


    "Ah?" Lu Feng was full of questions, wondering, "Mr. Huang, don''t scare me."


    "This time Ren Qianbo really didn''t give up. He is in the box next door eating."


    "Who? Ren Qianbo?"


    Mr. Huang nodded and said, "Do you know who he is with?" The two talked as they reached their private room.


    "My supplier!"


    "Clever!"


    Lu Feng closed the door. In fact, he knew about this fatal w. Hepletely used Ren Qianbo''s supplier. They had cooperated for so many years, and the rtionship was definitely not as strong as theirs.


    But even if you don''t need it, the time has dragged on for too long. He knows that there is such a risk. In order to speed up the time to open a factory, he must use it, but he didn''t expect it toe so quickly.


    It was the first time that Mr. Huang saw a frown on Lu Feng''s face. He thought that this young man didn''t know about sadness, and said with a smile, "Is there no way? If you are bankrupt, just hang out with me, bring me a bag and open it, I¡¯ll fill it to the brink.  Come in a car or something at least. You are a smart kid."


    "What bankruptcy, it is not a big deal!" Lu Feng said with a smile,


    "Ok?"


    President Huang was really surprised by Lu Feng this time.

 Chapter 50 - I Dont Want You To Be So Tired

    Huang Youwei was a little surprised, could this kid have a power he didn¡¯t know of?


    At this time, no one can help him, Ren Qianbo is determined to spend money, and there are few local private enterprises that can withstand it.


    "You bluffing me?"


    "What are you talking about, I don''t dare to lie to you." Lu Feng said, pouring wine for Mr. Huang, and said, "A chicken doesn''t pee with a standard, each has his own way of going about it. (EN: A Chinese saying, I think) I thought about it all. Even if I thought about killing myself, he may not think about that."


    "How are you so absolute?" Mr. Huang was a little unconvinced.


    "Mr. Huang, I have always done things like this. When I want to do something, I have to think about the consequences. I will kill myself first (EN: in business terms only.), so that others will not be able to kill me.¡± Lu Feng touched the ss and said, "I respect you foring this far in such a world."


    Mr. Huang savored the drink slowly.


    Mr. Huang looked at him with interest, put down the wine ss, his eyes were full of joy. He looked at Lu Feng and said, "I really like you!"


    "Don''t, Mr. Huang, I have a wife, it''s absolutely impossible between the two of us." Lu Feng said hurriedly.


    "F**k you!" Mr. Huang reproached andughed loudly. If anyone from Yegang Group saw him like this, his jaw would fall to the ground.


    Within the group, Huang is known to be notoriously bad-tempered, and to act like Lu Feng, someone must be extraordinarily spective.


    "Are you taking a loan with President Ma, or using your personal ID card to get a personal loan, or taking from a private loan shark?" Mr. Huang pondered for a while and said, "Only these three ways can save you, and the rest are punishable byw.¡±


    Lu Feng could see that Mr. Huang was really interested in his approach, and said, "None of the three."


    "Are you crazy?" Mr. Huang frowned and said, "Even if you borrow usury loans, it''s a big deal to run away. You are nning to go to jail, but you shouldn''t. I don''t think you are such a person."


    "You also know that I''m not such a person. Of course, I won''t do that kind of stupid thing. It''s not just ck, white, or gray, there are many shades possible. I don''t need to go to jail, to have a lot of money."


    These words filled Huang Youwei''s head with question marks. He imed to be self-taught in finance, but why couldn''t he understand what Lu Feng said.


    "Then how much money can you raise?"


    "As much as I want!" Lu Feng said to himself.


    "I don''t want to ask anymore. Now the whole businessmunity in this city is waiting to see the excitement. Finally, I will give you a big gift!" Mr. Huang said mysteriously, "Guess what?"


    "You want to lend me money? You like a talent like me, and you have decided to spend millions and p me in the face, making me extremely ashamed."


    "I''m ashamed of you, you''re a big-headed bastard. Just like your face, you won¡¯t even lose any skin if you are hit with millions." Mr. Huang stood up and patted his stomach, "I''ll go to the toilet and sit next door for a while to help you find out. "


    Lu Feng was speechless but he looked at him with a look of gratitude. He likes to gossip, so he came to listen to the hrity, but it turned out to be a great gift for himself.


    "You are even more shameless than me!"


    Lu Feng picked up his chopsticks and ate a big mouthful. After the door closed, he kept pouring wine, his stomach seemed empty.


    Half an hourter, Mr. Huang came back, his face was flushed from drinking, his face was full of smiles, he sat down and said, "Tell you the good news, you arepletely useless, they are going to give you cash and a spot, hehe!"


    Lu Feng''s face was a little bitter. Cash and spot are so ruthless. Originally, he thought about Zhou Jun, and the funds would not be so tight, but now this idea has beenpletely shattered.


    "Why are you so happy?"


    "I just want to see how you y!" Mr. Huang patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I have a driver''s seat for you all the time, let me be a driver at this ce, don''t wrong yourself."


    "Mr. Huang, seriously, how I can also be your driver! "


    There was continuousughter in the box, and the drinks didn''t break until 10:30 in the evening. After leaving the box, Mr. Huang hugged Lu Feng''s shoulder and called him a brother. It was very lively.


    The door of the private room next door was also opened. Ren Qianbo was a little drunk and held the door frame with his hands. When he saw Lu Feng, his stiff eyes showed a trace of disdain.


    "Old Zuo, just him, have you seen it?" Ren Qianbo said with a finger to Lu Feng.


    Mr. Zuo squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Feng, shook his head, and said, "I don''t know this little guy. I guess it was a contract signed by my subordinates at the time."


    "Bahahaha, just like him, he challenged me all day long. You said that I must not show him the color?" Ren Qianbo pointed at Lu Feng and shouted, "I tell you, you are abolished,pletely and thoroughly.  It''s useless, do you understand? Kneel down to the Lord if you want to live."


    "I will make you kneel!"


    "This is awesome. Open your mouth and shut others¡¯ to make them kneel. People who don''t know think you are the master. Seeing that you are too drunk, I don''t even want to fight." Lu Feng said indifferently.


    "I''ll remember it for you. You made my wife and me fall apart, and the profit of my factory fell. I''ll remember everything." Ren Qianbo gritted his teeth.


    "I''ll keep it in mind for you, too. You robbed me of my business, smashed my workshop, and all kinds of indiscriminate tactics. You started it." Lu Feng looked at Mr. Zuo, dressed in a neat suit, and said, "Are you helping him?"


    "I''ll definitely help him, pick the bigger cake, even a three-year-old knows this." Mr. Zuo shrugged.


    "Okay, you''re almost useless." Lu Feng said.


    "Pfft! Hahahahaha!"


    "Iughed so hard, he told me about you, how you''re about to fail." Ren Qianbo smiled, leaning back and forth, one of them was unsteady and rolled directly to the ground. The passing waiter looked at the drunk two, sluggishly.


    Mr. Huang turned his head to look at Lu Feng, the corner of his mouth smirked, he hummed for a while, then burst outughing, and said, "Haha, your words are a bit loud, haha."


    Mr. Zuo took a deep breath and said, "You''re really young and energetic!"


    "You''re angry and called a young man on a horse?"


    "So amazing, young man!" Ren Qianbo got up with the help of the waiter, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "See you tomorrow then!"


    After sending Mr. Huang by the car, Lu Feng rode a motorcycle home alone, opened the door gently, and found that the light was on. Duo Duo had fallen asleep in Jiang Xiaoyan''s arms. Jiang Xiaoyan was sitting on the sofa, staring straight at him. She looked at the door as if she had watched it all night.


    "You scared me." Lu Feng looked at her with a bit of embarrassment. He had promised her not to drink in the future, but he was caught today, leaned against the door and smiled and said, "You''re beautiful again."


    "You''ve been hometetely, basically after eleven o''clock." Jiang Xiaoyan spoke with a sad expression on her face.


    "Don''t cry, I beg you, don''t cry!" Lu Feng folded his hands on his chest and said, "If you want, kill or cut anything, but don''t cry!"


    "I don''t me you, why are you so afraid of me? I went to the factory to find you when I made dinner and you didn''te back. When I met Datou, he told me that the factory was short of money and was about to go bankrupt. You are looking for money everywhere, making peopleugh, apanying others to eat, and apanying people to drinks."


    "Stop! It sounds like I''m going to lose heavily." Lu Feng changed his shoes and walked up to the front. "Go to sleep."


    "Come here, stand over a little bit." Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head, her eyes were already red.


    "I can stand over but don''t cry, you understand?"


    Jiang Xiaoyan nodded heavily, Lu Feng approached, she plunged her head into his arms and choked, "I don''t want you to be so tired, I just want a small home, and every day is peaceful. I have a lot, watch TV, look at the lights at home and look forward to your return. I don¡¯t want you to be so tired."
