Chapter 28 - Kick The Door

Today was the worst day of business since the workshop started production. The night shift workers had arrived and were dumbfounded as they looked at the piled-up goods.
Han Dong was a responsible man. He walked to Lu Feng's side and said, "Boss, if you really can't do it, just let the night shift workers rest for a bit. We’re storing up so much stuff; they’re afraid we won't be able to sell it."
"No need, continue the production. The fruits are already here; they will rot if not processed soon." Lu Feng waved, and Datou walked over. "Tomorrow morning, we'll compromise and increase the commission to 4 cents. Release the news tonight. If they come, we'll load their cars."
Two days ago, they were scared to even think about the current condition; but now, they did not think much of it. Even if it turned to five or six cents, they could do nothing.
After giving the order, the night shift workers started their respective work. Lu Feng was about to head home when Ren Qianbo’s car drove by the workshop; its speed was very slow. He looked at the vendors loading the goods in small numbers and smiled.
Lu Feng also saw him but chose to ignore him. He rode his motorcycle home. Ren Qianbo stepped on the accelerator to follow him. Lu Feng slowed down, afraid of being in an accident.
if it weren't for the intense competition in this market, the profit would still be around 200 to 300 thousand dollars a month. This amount was enough to drive an ordinary person crazy.
"Boss Lu is going home?" Ren Qianbo asked as he drove his car slowly beside Lu Feng.
"That's right. Boss Ren shouldn’t need money to refuel; you’re burning oil in this car."
"You saw it today too. As long as I use a little bit of strength, you won't be able to stand. You had a profit of seven to eight thousand dollars a day in the past. Today, you have a profit of one thousand dollars? I'm afraid the profit is not enough, right?" Ren Qianbo said deliberately," Young man, you've already earned enough. You have to know how to be content."
"Content?" Lu Feng laughed and sneered, "You need to know how to be content. You drive a car of over 200,000 dollars, and you own a food factory, yet you're competing with me, this little boss. Who is the one not content here?"
"Sure, I didn't see it." Ren Qianbo was not angry. He said, "My money can kill you. If you give them four cents, I'll give them five."
"You have a lot of money, and you can give as much as you want., but it's not safe to talk while driving. I'll go home first." Lu Feng turned the accelerator and flew away.
Ren Qianbo stepped on the accelerator to catch up and shouted, "Don't use eggs to hit stones! You'll make a lot more money with me. All of you will be paid well. Young man, listen to my advice."
"I want to give it a try. I want to use eggs to beat stones; however, your words that persuade my competitors cost me money. How about this? Give me five dollars and let me quit. It's better than this nonsense."
Ren Qianbo changed his mind and quit his convincing speech. He did not expect this person to be like a rock in a pit, stinking and hard. He could not even get something beneficial from his mouth to get an advantage.
"I won't waste time with you. Go home and take good care of your wife and children. Remember to close the door when you sleep at night." Ren Qianbo finished speaking and flew his car away, leaving behind the dust in his surroundings.
Lu Feng could not see the road ahead. He stopped his motorcycle with a gloomy expression. Rian Qianbo just threatened him!
Wu Hongyu returned at noon and bragged in the unit building. He told people everywhere that Lu Feng was finished and his lucky days would end soon.
He even boasted that he would be a lead manager in the Wanyuan Factory, and he would manage to recruit some of his friends under him.
Wu Hongyu was not the only one who was angry. Everyone realized that He Yanli had not come back last night. When she returned this afternoon, she had lots of bags and wore new clothes. They weren’t cheap at all.
Furthermore, they were the same as the ones Jiang Xiaoyan had bought. Almost all residents were chatting about it. After being widowed for so many years, she could be considered a big boss now.
Wu Hongyu's dining table was filled with pig's meat along with a bottle of white wine and three types of stir-fried meals.
The dishes were extravagant. Old Wu (Wu Renyi) put a piece of pork into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He said, "Son, you're too concerned with that widow He Yanli. She's rich. What woman doesn’t have?"
"I know, Dad. I understand now. I'll follow Boss Ren well!" Wu Hongyu took a sip of his wine. His expression was sinister as he swiftly took a bite of his dish said, "F*ck, we both are thirty years old. Now it's my turn. I will be even more awesome than Lu Feng!"
"Son, I don't think you should push Lu Feng too far. If Boss Ren causes Lu Feng to fall, you won’t be able to use him anymore. You have to understand."
"Why do you think your son is so dumb as to follow Boss Ren as a faithful dog?"
Lu Feng rode his motorcycle back and Parked it at his friend’s place. Everyone stayed silent when he passed by. Their gazes fell on him, more or less.
Lu Feng sneered. The world is always the same, cruel and selfish, no matter what era you choose. They do not want to be alone, but they also don’t want to be evenly matched. In the past, he was a scoundrel. Everyone treated him as a joke and even when they met. Now that he was rich, it is funny how he is being reclused.
Jiang Xiaoyan had finished work and was busy in the kitchen. The aroma of rice wafted out. Duo Duo sat on the bed and played with her toys. Lu Feng entered the room, and the little girl’s face exploded with joy. She crawled out of bed and shouted," Daddy's back! He's back!"
"Wash your hands and prepare for dinner." Jiang Xiaoyan poked her head out and informed.
The dining table: Jiang Xiaoyan talked about happenings in the building today. She glanced at Lu Feng and said, "He Yanli bought a set of clothes that's the same as mine. She swayed around here and there. I heard that she's hooked up with a big boss. She probably gave up on you."
"I don't care about her. What are you thinking?" Lu Feng retorted. "That Wu Hongyu has been going too far lately, spreading rumors that our factory is closing down."
"There's no need to bother. If we really can’t do it, let's move to another place."
Lu Feng also wanted to buy a house; unfortunately, commercial houses weren’t available. Only a worker's house could be built, that too by himself. Commercial houses wouldn't appear until the early 1990s.
Post dinner, Lu Feng coaxed Duo Duo to sleep, and Jiang Xiaoyan washed the dishes. Lu Feng felt a little bored; he considered buying a TV set.
Jiang Xiaoyan was a little absent-minded as she washed the dishes. She turned to look at Lu Feng quietly. Since the last dinner, her treatment at the electronics factory had changed entirely.
Wang Lan would occasionally greet her with a few words of courtesy. The supervisor who had been looking for a fight with her in the past was also polite. She knew it was all because of Lu Feng.
A few girls were chatting at the factory that, when Lu Feng gets rich, he will not bother with Jiang Xiaoyan; she would have to change his mind and make him pay more attention to her. She cannot let him find Little pleasure outside. A couple's life should be harmonious.
Jiang Xiaoyan smiled in response. Harmony?
The two of them have been married for such a long time and haven’t even shared a room. A few weeks ago, he wasn't a good person, but now Lu Feng was better than most men.
But he did not take the initiative. Could it be that he wanted her to take the initiative?
Perhaps he already had a woman outside. With his current possession of money, even if he did not have He Yanli, he could still have Li Yanli and Zhang Yanli.
Jiang Xiaoyan's heart was a mess. In the past, people who worshipped Buddha begged Bodhisattva for her man to be better. Now that he was better, she had other worries. After washing the dishes, she took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative. They have been married for too long for being shy.
She tidied up her clothes. She wore a dress she had bought yesterday and was sure it looked gorgeous. She walked out of the kitchen and asked Lu Feng, "Is she asleep?"
"Shh!" Lu Feng nodded.
"Let's get some rest.”
Jiang Xiaoyan walked towards Lu Feng's bed in embarrassment. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of someone kicking the door.
Bang!
