Su Wanru nodded, "I believe you, but this Peng Zhou is truly going too far. He had an opportunity and refused it, and now that he sees the benefits, he's trying to dredge up old grievances. There's really no need to continue cooperating with such a person."
Liu Yifeng chuckled indifferently. Su Wanru's words made perfect sense. Although she had refused his compensation, he still felt a great deal of remorse. This Peng Zhou was simply too much; he had to find a way to deal with him.
Upon returning to the company, he saw Lu Fei looking very anxious. "You're finally back. That Peng Zhou is causing trouble again, saying their company's vegetables are all leftover garbage, and even that some guests have had issues after eating them."
Liu Yifeng frowned. He had thought Peng Zhou had already reached his limit and had even considered Su Wanru's side, assuming he would have vented his anger by now.
But who would have thought that upon returning to the company, he would be greeted with such a "surprise." This Peng Zhou was truly relentless. What exactly did he want?
"Alright, I understand. I'll handle this. It seems he's still not satisfied regarding the matter of the spiritual pills. Don't worry, I can handle it." He gave Lu Fei a reassuring look.
In reality, Liu Yifeng wasn't entirely sure how to resolve this issue at the moment, but he wanted to put Lu Fei's mind at ease. After all, it wasn't necessary for so many people to worry about it.
Sitting in his office, Liu Yifeng couldn't recall why Peng Zhou had become so enraged this time. He had experienced unsuccessful cooperation cases before, and there hadn't been such a strong reaction.
Just as he was pondering, a client barged into his office.
"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with your company's vegetables again? Peng Zhou called me again saying you've encountered new problems. I'm quite worried. This is the peak season for hotels; you can't afford any mistakes."
The visitor was an old client of Liu Yifeng's, Old Wang. The first time Peng Zhou had stirred up trouble, Old Wang had chosen to believe him. Now that he was causing trouble again, Old Wang was understandably a little scared.
Liu Yifeng gave Old Wang a reassuring look and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, you can use my vegetables with confidence. Unless I notify you otherwise, there will be no issues. It's just that Peng Zhou couldn't participate in our cooperation and is a bit upset, deliberately causing unease among everyone."
He felt quite troubled, as they were all his old clients. With these new problems arising, he felt deeply apologetic to those who had consistently supported him.
"Alas, if it weren't for the fact that the hotel is indeed in its peak season, I wouldn't have come to confirm. I would have been deceived too. You should try to maintain a good relationship with Peng Zhou; his influence is quite significant. Otherwise, doing business in the future will be difficult."
Liu Yifeng shook his hand gratefully, truly appreciative of the reminder from these old clients.
After seeing Old Wang off, Liu Yifeng felt he needed to have a talk with Peng Zhou, to make him understand that this issue wasn't caused by his own problems.
"Where are you going?" Lu Fei saw Liu Yifeng push the door open and leave in a hurry, thinking that there was a problem somewhere else. However, his voice was drowned out by the sound of the closing door.
Peng Zhou seemed to know Liu Yifeng was coming to find him. His assistant outside saw him and immediately let him in. He realized Peng Zhou was waiting for him here, truly insidious and cunning.
"Mr. Peng, I think we need to have a good talk." Liu Yifeng sat down directly opposite Peng Zhou. Facing someone like him, he was absolutely unwilling to endure this any longer.
He had initially thought Peng Zhou was just throwing a tantrum and didn't want to waste too much energy on him. But it seemed the situation was more than just anger.
This left Liu Yifeng no choice but to have a proper negotiation with him. The reason for the failed cooperation was clearly Peng Zhou himself, yet now he was blaming Liu Yifeng, which made him incredibly angry.
"Mr. Liu, what's going on? Are you here to discuss that so-called spiritual elixir matter?" Peng Zhou's demeanor was not at all friendly, as if he had been waiting for him.
Liu Yifeng snorted coldly, "I told you, this was caused by you. And now you're trying to bring me down this way. Do you think I'll choose to cooperate with you? Why are you always so self-important?"
His tone was calm. He might have been extremely angry when he first arrived, but upon seeing Peng Zhou, he remained rational.
He suddenly changed his mind. Since Peng Zhou wanted to play, he would oblige him. He wanted to see what he relied on to last until the end.
"Hahaha, Mr. Liu, can't you see the trouble you're in? How dare you speak to me like that? Are you tired of living?"
Liu Yifeng's words clearly made Peng Zhou even angrier. The smirk on his face was extremely unpleasant to behold. It was evident that things were not going as he had anticipated.
He probably thought that Liu Yifeng would come to him willingly, regretting his decision and wanting to offer him the spiritual elixir. But it seemed that was not the case.
Liu Yifeng saw Peng Zhou's rage. He wore his emotions on his sleeve. Since he wanted others to see them, Liu Yifeng couldn't stop him, but it didn't mean he would be intimidated.
"You are merely Mr. Peng. Fortunately, we have a cooperation. I can't say my vegetables have brought your company great profits, but at least they have ensured the health of your hotel guests and given them peace of mind. Yet, you cannot fathom the benefits of our mutual cooperation. Simply because one cooperation failed, you resort to such despicable tactics. I want to know what your true intentions are."
Since the other party had acted inhumanely, there was no need for him to be polite.
This was the first time Peng Zhou had heard such words from Liu Yifeng, and it truly shocked him. He even wondered if this person before him was truly Liu Yifeng.
Although he had doubts, anger was his primary emotion. His gaze was fixed on Liu Yifeng, but he remained silent.
Liu Yifeng did the same. Since Peng Zhou was staring at him, he was no longer afraid and stared back, wanting to see who was more formidable.
He felt that this encounter would be a turning point for his future business. If he could completely defeat Peng Zhou this time, perhaps he would no longer be suppressed by him in the future.
Previously, his best plan was to cooperate with Peng Zhou, believing that he would consider their cooperative relationship and not act so excessively. He could only say that he had been too naive.
