"Mr. Fang, please don't worry. Mr. Wang is your friend, which means he's our friend too. We'll definitely take good care of him."
At the dinner table, a woman with a rough face stood up. She smiled at Er Zhu and Mr. Fang with a respectful demeanor, yet Er Zhu still detected a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Wang can open a factory in Hua Bei City. Such a powerful figure, we can only try to curry favor."
Hearing the woman's words, the others chimed in, especially Sun Er Kui, Liu Feng, and Yang Qing Bo, who had spoken earlier.
Seeing everyone with forced smiles, Mr. Fang nodded with satisfaction. After a few drinks, he excused himself, claiming to be drunk.
Although Mr. Fang said that, everyone at the table knew his intention. However, they looked down upon this nouveau riche.
He dressed so old-fashioned, and his name was even more rustic. He clearly came from a village!
"Mr. Wang, let me tell you first, I'm very busy. People come to buy Chinese medicinal materials every day, and I don't have time to deal with your small factory!"
"I'm also very busy. I'm usually abroad and don't have time to see you!"
"I need to go to various places to collect herbs. Don't bother me with trivial matters!"
...
As soon as Mr. Fang left, the smiles on everyone's faces vanished, revealing their true intentions.
"I have my own Chinese medicinal herb plantation, extensive experience in running factories, and superb medical skills. I simply don't need any of you!"
Er Zhu smiled faintly and spoke his mind directly. His words instantly dropped the temperature in the room to below freezing!
"If it weren't for Grandpa Fang, I would have left the moment I walked in!"
Just as Sun Er Kui was about to flare up, Er Zhu spoke again. This sentence filled the room with an explosive tension!
"Aren't you just a nouveau riche? Stop pretending. I'll tell you the truth, if it weren't for Mr. Fang's sake, someone like you wouldn't be qualified to eat with me!"
"Heh, Mr. Fang is gone. Why are you still acting like a big shot?"
"Arrogant! You claim to have superb medical skills, but I've never seen such a shameless person like you!"
...
As soon as Sun Er Kui finished speaking, Liu Feng and Yang Qing Bo spoke up one after another, while others nodded in agreement, looking at Er Zhu as if he were an idiot.
Mr. Fang must be deaf and blind to appreciate such an imbecile!
Ring ring ring...
Just as Er Zhu was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Uncle Liu calling, he quickly answered.
"Er Zhu, we've harvested the Chinese medicinal materials here. When are you coming to pick them up?"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Uncle Liu's voice came from the other end. Hearing this, Sun Er Kui's eyes almost popped out!
As someone in the same industry, how could he not recognize Uncle Liu's voice!
Liuzhen Shiliucun, that's a famous origin of Chinese medicinal materials in Hua Bei City. Not only are the herbs there large, but their quality is also excellent!
He was just about to lead his employees to Shiliucun for a study tour!
Unexpectedly, Wang Er Zhu actually knew the village head of Shiliucun!
"Mr. Wang, can you turn on the speakerphone? I want to hear more..."
Sun Er Kui quickly put down his chopsticks and smiled as he pointed at Er Zhu's phone. Even his address to Er Zhu had changed, indicating his immense surprise.
Er Zhu didn't speak but pressed the speakerphone button, making Uncle Liu's voice even clearer.
"Er Zhu, are you coming back this time? The villagers miss you. I'm getting old and can't manage for you much longer."
Hearing this, everyone stared at Er Zhu in shock, especially Sun Er Kui, who nearly fell to the ground!
Manage for you?
So, Uncle Liu wasn't the village head of Shiliucun, but this Wang Er Zhu was!
Good heavens, he heard that the village head of Shiliucun cooperated with many villages. If all the cultivated areas were combined, it would be equivalent to the area of three Hua Bei Cities!
Sun Er Kui suddenly recalled what Er Zhu had said earlier. He had thought Er Zhu was bragging, but he never expected it to be the truth!
"Yes, I'll be back in a few days to pick up the medicinal materials. Uncle Liu, don't worry."
Hearing Uncle Liu's sighing voice, a trace of heartache flashed in Er Zhu's eyes as he spoke slowly.
Although Hua Bei City was bustling, he dearly missed the people of Shiliucun. If it weren't for revenge, he felt he would have stayed there forever.
After all, it was that place that made him who he was!
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back!" Uncle Liu's voice choked a little, and Er Zhu could even imagine Uncle Liu with tears in his eyes.
As soon as Uncle Liu hung up, the phone rang again.
"Er Zhu, has the Chinese medicinal herb factory in Hua Bei City opened? I've already prepared the employees. When should I bring them to Hua Bei City?"
Lin Quan's voice came from the phone. Hearing this familiar voice, Er Zhu smiled faintly.
Lin Quan ultimately couldn't save his marriage. After the divorce, he sold all his assets in the neighboring city and wholeheartedly assisted Er Zhu.
"Mr. Wang, is that the voice of General Manager Lin Quan?"
Just then, Liu Feng walked up to Er Zhu at some point, pointing at the phone with a shocked expression and asking.
"Impossible, he's one of the richest men in the neighboring town, how could he be working for this nouveau riche?"
Before Er Zhu could speak, the胖 man to Er Zhu's left waved his hand dismissively, appearing confident.
"What do you know? I heard Lin Quan sold all his assets and went to Liuzhen. His Chinese medicinal herb factory is the largest in the surrounding counties and cities!"
Liu Feng glared at the胖 man reproachfully and added with admiration.
"Yes, but that Chinese medicinal herb factory belongs to me, and Lin Quan helps me manage it."
Just as the胖 man was about to retort, Er Zhu nodded slightly. His words shocked Liu Feng!
That Chinese medicinal herb factory was his!
My heavens, that Chinese medicinal herb factory is the largest in the surrounding counties and cities, and it's said to have a monthly income of tens of millions!
He was just about to seek cooperation with that Chinese medicinal herb factory, and the boss was sitting right in front of him!
Liu Feng's mood was complicated. He wanted to curry favor with Er Zhu, but thinking about his previous attitude, he didn't know how to start.
He had initially thought Wang Er Zhu was just a nouveau riche, but he never expected him to be so powerful!
"Er Zhu, is the person next to you Liu Feng? You absolutely cannot cooperate with someone like him. This kid is not decent!"
Lin Quan heard a familiar voice from the phone. His eyes flickered, and he instantly thought of something, quickly reminding.
"Mm, I won't cooperate with him. Don't worry. Bring your people over as soon as possible. The factory has orders."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, glanced dismissively at Liu Feng, and after discussing a few more business matters, hung up the phone.
"Mr. Wang, we were just joking. Please don't take it to heart. You are Mr. Fang's friend, which means you are our friend."
The successive phone calls made everyone realize Er Zhu's power, and they quickly apologized.
