Chapter 182: Well done
Chapter 182: Well done
The locations of the other three people are all within the range of Nan City, the surrounding counties of Pingcheng, not far from Xin Zhen.
Behind the county near the pier is the big boss.
There are many underground casinos owned by He Yongli, and the small-scale commercial street is dominated by the local snakes of Nan City.
The situation is the same as in Yuewan Town. The people of the three major giants are either indifferent or watching from the sidelines.
Outsiders are watching the struggle between Li Chengbin and Xiao Cheng.
Bai Lu is Xiao Cheng's wife, and in their eyes, Bai Lu represents Xiao Cheng. Bai Lu's candied chestnuts are equivalent to Xiao Cheng's candied chestnuts.
Upper-level insiders are watching the tiger fight from the mountain.
Li Chengbin has his father-in-law behind him, and Xiao Cheng has the big boss behind him. When two tigers fight, one must die and the other be injured.
However, He Yongli and the local snakes do not think that the big boss will abandon Xiao Cheng, a valuable pawn. In the end, when the heron and the clam fight, the fisherman will profit, and it will be them.
In front of the four giants, those doing small business are cannon fodder. If the small business has no prospects, they won't intervene, and if there's potential, it will be taken under their wing before it even develops. There is no right to make independent choices.
They also don't have the capability to resist them.
Forcing their way is definitely not an option. They don't have as many people or as strong armed forces. Going against them would mean certain death.
Moreover, Bai Lu doesn't like to solve problems with violence; it would only lead to trouble.
They need to come up with a foolproof plan.
Yu Fugui and Meng Youliang are also serious. Today, this matter can't be resolved by just offering a bribe.
Dealing with the four giants, a misstep could lead to annihilation, and the opponents can see through their small schemes at a glance.
They can't think of a deep and far-sighted strategy. If they could, they wouldn't just be doing small business.
Now, they can only rely on Bai Lu to come up with a solution.
Without selling candied chestnuts, they do have their original business of selling fruits. However, after experiencing the exclusive booming sales of candied chestnuts, they've earned sweet profits.
Who would focus only on the small profits of selling fruits?
Fruits are available everywhere on the streets during the season, but exclusive chestnuts sold out of season are in high demand.
When Xiao Wei returned home from school, he actually saw his older brother coming out of the vegetable market carrying a plastic bag. The bag also contained vegetables. Normally, his older brother would return home just before dinner, so why was he back so early today?
Xiao Wei looked around but didn't see Bai Lu, making it even more strange.
Did his older brother go to buy groceries alone?
Xiao Cheng sensed small footsteps approaching from behind, coming closer before stopping. He continued walking without turning his head, asking, "I haven't been home these days. Who has visited us?"
Instead of being scared, Xiao Wei, who was discovered, was a bit excited. He obediently reported the contents discussed over the phone, "Besides the male bosses who came to get chestnuts, there was one more, Lin Jinfan."
"Lin Jinfan and Sister-in-law came back from the countryside. Uncle Fu and Uncle Ahu, along with the village women from the Xiao family, brought a lot of things. Lin Jinfan originally wanted to come in and get something from our house, but I didn't let him in, so he left."
The furrowed brows of Xiao Cheng slightly eased. "Well done."
Is this praise?
Praise! Praise! Definitely praise!
Xiao Wei, wearing the new shoes his older brother gave him, felt the praise from his older brother circling in his ears repeatedly. He felt so happy that his whole being seemed to be floating, and his steps were about to take off.
The excited vision was suddenly stopped when he saw several bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles parked at the door.
"Why are there so many cars parked at the door?"
Xiao Wei, who had only seen men driving, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.
This is bad.
There must be a lot of men in the house.
With quick steps, he rushed back home.
Arriving at the door, Xiao Wei suddenly realized that his older brother was still behind, walking calmly.
He abruptly stopped, and his face showed anxiety. "Aren't you worried, older brother? With so many cars parked at the door, there must be many men... coming to the house. There's only Sister-in-law at home. What if she's bullied?"
Xiao Cheng looked at the anxious figure at the door, listening to the small silhouette eavesdropping on the corner, and his eyebrow raised slightly.
Casually, he said, "People selling chestnuts."
After hearing the explanation, Xiao Wei, who was not paying much attention, carefully looked again at the cars parked at the door. It seemed quite familiar.
The bicycle belonged to Wang Cuihua, the motorcycle belonged to Chen Dafu and Uncle Fu Gui, and the small tricycle belonged to other uncles.
They were all business partners mentioned by Bai Lu, and there was no sign of arguing. There should be no big issue.
Xiao Wei looked at the motorcycle again, suddenly remembering a scene, and his little brows wrinkled instantly.
"Chen Dafu always peeks at Sister-in-law when he comes to get chestnuts. His motorcycle is also parked at the door. He must be in the house. If he peeks at Sister-in-law again..."
Xiao Wei hadn't finished his words.
The figure of his older brother suddenly disappeared.
His older brother's figure was no longer at the door.
This... How did a big person suddenly disappear!
Xiao Wei, in a hurry, ran back home. Ready to report the urgent matter to Bai Lu, he looked up and found that his older brother, who had disappeared, was now standing next to Bai Lu.
A group of people greeted his older brother with smiles.
Chen Dafu looked the most embarrassed, trembling like chaff under his brother's gaze.
So, that's how it is.
Xiao Wei felt that he had nothing to do with it.
He helped his older brother bring the groceries into the kitchen, took off his small backpack, and put it on a chair before starting to wash the vegetables in the kitchen.
Bai Lu's strategy had just come to mind, and Yu Fugui and Chen Dafu, among others, said their goodbyes.
She could only leave a contact information for now.
And let everyone take the remaining chestnuts back.
Yu Fugui and Meng Youliang were not new to business. They wanted a chance for future cooperation with Bai Lu and wouldn't accept compensation.
However, Bai Lu said, "There are not many chestnuts left. Take them back and taste them. Share them with relatives and friends. Leaving a good reputation for future sales is important. If people don't forget about us, the business can thrive."
"And those people who caused trouble were not just targeting candied chestnuts. Your fruits also suffered. Take these chestnuts back; consider it compensation for the damaged fruits. Eat them or give them away. If you refuse even these chestnuts, I would be worried."
Bai Lu has always been articulate, addressing both interests and relationships, putting all the reasons in place.
Yu Fugui and others had no reason to refuse. Rejecting would push away future cooperation.
While carrying chestnuts, they smiled and said they would bring the freshest seasonal fruits next time, offering Bai Lu a taste. Of course, they didn't forget about Xiao Cheng.
Bai Lu's words just now indicated that the candied chestnut business would not end like this; it would definitely make a comeback.
Moreover, Bai Lu still had Xiao Cheng.
Although Xiao Cheng had retired from the world, his influence had not disappeared. With a call, there would surely be responses from all sides.
Solving this predicament was completely effortless.
Yu Fugui and Meng Youliang and others knew this well.
