During the journey, he had shared this matter with Chen Xinyue. Rather than letting others make a joke out of it, he preferred to tell it himself, making it even more amusing.
“Alright, let’s get back to work. Due to the incident in Pengzhou, our company’s vegetable cooperation has indeed been affected. Although no one has cancelled their contracts, we still need to actively seek out new partners.”
The two, who had been chatting and laughing on the way, resumed a serious demeanor upon arriving at the company and discussed matters of cooperation.
Liu Yifeng knew that the Pengzhou issue was not yet resolved, and he was certain that Pengzhou would find ways to meet him and uncover any leverage he possessed.
Previously, Zhang Jin had suffered significant losses due to the matter of the miraculous elixir. As he had some free time today, he sought out Liu Yifeng to inquire about the final resolution.
“Brother Zhang, you’ve come at just the right time. I was actually planning to find you myself.” Just as he was thinking of discussing the charity stall for the miraculous elixir with Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin arrived on his own.
It was as if they were on the same wavelength. Such collaboration made him feel that it was a true partnership, and he found it very comfortable.
“Younger Brother Liu, we truly are telepathic. I came to ask you if we can now set up stalls for the miraculous elixir.”
Zhang Jin frowned, appearing very interested in the development of this charitable endeavor. It was evident he had already reaped benefits from it.
“Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your dedication to public welfare. I don’t think there will be any issues. You can try setting up a few initially and see if Pengzhou causes any more trouble.”
Their concern was precisely that Pengzhou might resort to reckless actions again. Although it was a charitable cause, such a stall required significant investment, and they couldn’t simply let him continue to disrupt it.
Zhang Jin waved his hand, “This is just a small undertaking. I was merely helping out Younger Brother Liu. However, I did speak with Pengzhou, and I gathered his meaning. Perhaps he’s unhappy that this matter wasn’t entrusted to him, and that’s why he’s acting out.”
“Brother Zhang, that just shows he lacks discernment. Unlike you, who immediately recognized the value of this collaboration. He’s simply arrogant, always thinking everyone fears him, which has led to the current situation.”
Liu Yifeng’s words were sincere, spoken as if casually offering praise. Such words are always pleasing to hear, and they made Zhang Jin feel exceptionally good.
Zhang Jin couldn't help but smile, “Younger Brother Liu, you flatter me. It was also when you saved people at my company that I recognized the value of such a wonderful thing. If it were used for public welfare, benefiting more people, it would undoubtedly receive excellent support.”
In fact, Zhang Jin had also experienced the power of this charity. By promoting their company’s name, people actively participated and even took photos with their hotel and posted them online, which significantly increased the hotel’s foot traffic.
“You’re being too modest, Brother Zhang. If not for your keen eye, how could we have achieved this popularity? That Pengzhou simply doesn’t appreciate its worth, lacking foresight, yet he continuously causes us trouble.”
Liu Yifeng sighed with helplessness after speaking. He then slightly raised his eyes and saw Zhang Jin’s smug expression, mirroring his own satisfied smile.
Zhang Jin, with a proud demeanor, said, “Alright, I’ll start by testing the waters with a few discreet locations. That way, it won’t attract too much attention. I’m truly afraid Pengzhou might do something even more outrageous!”
His emotions shifted remarkably quickly. The thought of Pengzhou’s actions gave Zhang Jin a headache. If Pengzhou continued to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be sustainable.
“Brother Zhang, don’t be afraid. Pengzhou might have just been overcome by anger at that moment, leading to such impulsive actions. Once his emotions stabilize, he might not be so impulsive. Please proceed with setting up the stalls; I guarantee it.”
Liu Yifeng knew that Pengzhou wouldn’t dare to do anything to him anymore, which was why he spoke so confidently to Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin became even more elated. With Liu Yifeng’s assurance, he grew bolder. “Great! With Younger Brother Liu’s word, I feel at ease. Then I won’t disturb you further. I’ll go inform them now.”
After saying this, Liu Yifeng simply smiled, and Zhang Jin left. Observing the situation, Zhang Jin was quite satisfied.
However, Pengzhou, at the moment, seemed far from happy. The items in his office were smashed to pieces, reflecting his current state of mind.
Seeing Pengzhou in such a state, his assistant dared not utter a word.
“Get out, get out!” Pengzhou became extremely annoyed by his assistant’s subservient demeanor. Seeing him like that reminded him of Liu Yifeng.
Just as the assistant was about to leave, Pengzhou called him back, “Wait. Contact Liu Yifeng immediately and tell him I want to meet him.”
Hearing Pengzhou’s order, the assistant hurried down to contact Liu Yifeng. If he didn’t get out quickly, he feared he would suffer further physical abuse.
Liu Yifeng picked up when he saw an unknown number. Hearing the trembling voice on the other end, he instantly knew who it was. Being soft-hearted, he immediately agreed to the request.
He simply didn’t want any more innocent people to be harmed, which was why he agreed. He understood that Pengzhou’s request to meet was regarding the supposed leverage.
Unbeknownst to them, night had quietly fallen. Checking the time, it was indeed the agreed-upon time to meet Pengzhou’s assistant.
Upon arriving at the designated location, he didn’t see Pengzhou. Looking at the time, there were still two minutes left. He felt he was early and decided to wait.
To his surprise, he waited for half an hour. Liu Yifeng was utterly speechless but understood that this was typical of Pengzhou, who never liked to be at a disadvantage.
Liu Yifeng checked the time and decided to give him another ten minutes. If Pengzhou didn't show up within ten minutes, there would be no need for them to meet again.
Just as he finished thinking this, Pengzhou appeared. Liu Yifeng even suspected that Pengzhou might have been monitoring him somewhere, waiting for him to become agitated before showing up.
“I must say, President Peng, your aura has remained consistent,” Liu Yifeng remarked upon seeing Pengzhou, his tone no longer as polite as before.
Everything depended on Pengzhou’s attitude. Since Pengzhou clearly didn’t take this seriously, Liu Yifeng saw no reason to show him any courtesy.
Pengzhou remained silent, his expression not particularly friendly. Perhaps he was angered by Liu Yifeng’s words, but he managed to control his emotions quite well.
