This was a minor matter that didn't require his personal attention. However, considering it was their breach of contract, he felt it was best to show sincerity by coming in person.
The truly troublesome issue was with Peng Zhou. It seemed that after a few days of silence, they were starting to get anxious.
"Look, this is a message from Peng Zhou. It seems they're starting to get impatient," Lu Fei said, walking towards him with a computer as soon as he arrived at the company.
Liu Yifeng nodded without a word. This was within his expectations.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how long this kid can stay arrogant. When he brought a bunch of people to cause trouble for us, didn't he ever think this day would come? If you ask me, we shouldn't bother with him. Not cooperating with him won't affect us at all."
Lu Fei truly couldn't stand Peng Zhou. The man acted so arrogant and overbearing, relying on his large entourage and wealth. Frankly, he didn't understand why Liu Yifeng insisted on cooperating with such a person.
"If you think that way, your vision is too narrow. You need to understand that although he's troublesome, his influence is still significant, which is very helpful for the development of our vegetable greenhouses.
Did you forget how, just before we were about to go public, he managed to get all the suppliers to obey him? That's his capability, and it's also something that puts us at a significant disadvantage."
Liu Yifeng's explanation left Lu Fei utterly confused. "I don't understand. Just tell me what you want me to do."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Zhang Jin arrived, also seemingly concerned about Peng Zhou's affairs.
"I have to say, you're truly remarkable. I was worried about what would happen if Peng Zhou wasn't willing to cooperate with us. Now it's great, he's directly contacting me, hoping you can sign the contract as soon as possible."
Zhang Jin gave Liu Yifeng a thumbs-up upon seeing him, his face full of admiration. It seemed Liu Yifeng really had some skills, and Zhang Jin immediately felt he had chosen the right person.
This, in turn, allowed Zhang Jin to witness Liu Yifeng's strength firsthand, completely dispelling any lingering doubts he might have had.
"Old Brother Zhang is too kind. You have to use the right method to deal with the right person. The more you fear something, the more you cannot let go of your vigilance towards it. Approaching any task like that will only lead to failure."
Zhang Jin felt a little awkward, but he adhered to the principle that if he wasn't embarrassed, then whoever was would be.
"Younger Brother Liu is absolutely right. This is great! Peng Zhou has been shut out. Let him be arrogant. I think after this, he'll never bother us again."
Liu Yifeng smiled but remained silent. After all, only they knew about this matter. If Peng Zhou found out it was intentional, he would surely fly into a rage, and things would become difficult to handle.
"Daddy, what about the design drawings? Have they been resolved?" As soon as Liu Yifeng returned home, Tong Tong tugged at his hand, asking about the design drawings.
Liu Yifeng smiled gently. "Of course, they've been handled. I gave them the design drawings that included the exhibition hall for free. They were not only very grateful but will also put more effort into building our villa."
Tong Tong nodded with satisfaction. After all, it was just a small design drawing. If they wanted more, he could offer more solutions.
"Daddy, thank you so much! Tong Tong is so happy!" In front of Liu Yifeng, Tong Tong's childlike innocence was fully displayed.
One day, Liu Yifeng was in his office reviewing a contract sent by Wu Haoyu. It detailed the production of the large toy models and the associated costs.
Perhaps he knew that most of the potential collaborators he approached refused due to financial reasons. Therefore, this time, he was very cautious and included a detailed breakdown of the finances in the contract. His intention was to finalize this issue during the first discussion. If they didn't accept, there would be no need to waste any more time.
Reading this, Liu Yifeng understood the reason behind it. It seemed that not all second-generation wealthy individuals were the same.
"Brother Liu, you have quite the refined taste, being lost in thought in your office and forgetting there's someone waiting outside."
As he was contemplating, the voice of Peng Zhou from outside broke his reverie.
"What wind has blown you here, Boss Peng? May I ask the reason for your esteemed visit?"
Liu Yifeng put down the contract in his hand and looked at the uninvited Peng Zhou with a very languid tone. He really wanted to say to him, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"Haha, Brother Liu, it's no fun to talk like that. You must have known I would come to find you, right? It seems you had already planned this, knowing I would approach you, which is why you went to such lengths to deliberately seek me out and pretended to be sending a contract. I must say, Brother Liu, this move of yours is quite insidious."
Peng Zhou's smiling yet sharp expression was extremely unpleasant. The way he had so casually refused before contrasted sharply with his current predicament as he sought out Liu Yifeng.
"What are you talking about, President Peng? However, I must thank you for your praise. This is simply a case of fighting fire with fire."
As businessmen, it was clear that Liu Yifeng had gained the upper hand.
"I don't have time for your nonsense. I admit I caused trouble for the organic vegetable side. You know this. Just tell me directly, what do you want?"
Now it was clear. Liu Yifeng had directly exposed Peng Zhou's wrongdoings to the transport merchants and even the hotels. Initially, they might have believed Peng Zhou, but when they couldn't get the genuinely organic vegetables from Liu Yifeng, they all became anxious.
The more anxious they became, the more they suspected something was amiss, which only solidified the truth of his transgressions. It was a perfect trap, and even Peng Zhou had been outmaneuvered.
"Since President Peng admits it, then I will have to inform the collaborators that you were the one causing trouble in the middle and make a high-profile announcement of our cooperation."
Liu Yifeng wanted something simple: to be cleared. If he clarified it himself, no one would believe him and would accuse him of doing it deliberately. That's why he wanted Peng Zhou to do it; only the one who tied the bell can untie it.
Now, with the organic vegetables about to be launched, this clearance was extremely important. Without this clarification, although it might not have a major impact on their launch, their reputation certainly wouldn't be top-tier.
Since Tong Tong had given them such preferential treatment, they had to strive to be the best in the organic vegetable market to honor Tong Tong and everyone who had worked hard for this cause.
Although Peng Zhou wanted to refuse, Liu Yifeng's stance was clear. It seemed that even if he refused, it wouldn't have a significant impact on Liu Yifeng.
