Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After eating lunch, Wang Dashan took a big bucket of his family's homemade peanut oil and several slaughtered old hens, and returned to Guangzhou.

After Wang Dashan left, Wang Erhai immediately acted on Wang Dashan's suggestion.

He dialed Niu Chunsheng's phone number.

Niu Chunsheng had just received this call, and still thought Wang Erhai was calling to ask him about real estate matters.

Previously, Wang Erhai had asked Niu Chunsheng for help with a matter: to have Niu Chunsheng investigate who those real estate developers who had terminated contracts with Shanhai Real Estate had given their sales agency rights to.

Niu Chunsheng had long since investigated the results.

However, he did not proactively call Wang Erhai; instead, he waited for Wang Erhai to call him, and then he would tell Wang Erhai.

He originally thought Wang Erhai would call to ask about this soon, but unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, Wang Erhai never gave him this call.

Now he finally received this call.

So as soon as Niu Chunsheng connected the call, he said:

"Erhai, the matter you asked me to investigate, I've investigated clearly. Those real estate developers who previously terminated contracts with Shanhai Real Estate have now all given their sales agency rights to Victory Real Estate."

Wang Erhai had almost forgotten about this matter.

Because even if it was investigated, he couldn't do anything about it.

Now that he had returned to Shanggou Village and become a Temporary Village Cadre, and had also taken over the New Era Restaurant in Town, his energy was no longer on the real estate industry in County Town.

He was not surprised by this result.

Because Niu Chunsheng had previously told him that Victory Real Estate wanted the sales agency rights for Chuncheng Garden, and the price they offered wasn't low, but Niu Chunsheng wanted to leave this plum for Lin Xiaolong, so he didn't sell it.

At that time, Wang Erhai had vaguely guessed that it was the backer behind Victory Real Estate making trouble.

"The Victory Real Estate you mentioned, is that the one founded by Wu Moli, the Victory Real Estate that just opened not long ago, right?"

Niu Chunsheng had mentioned Wu Moli to Wang Erhai before, and he still had some memory of it, so he asked this question.

"That's right, it's that Wu Moli. Wu Moli worked at Huangsheng Group, and she's very close with Zhang Sheng. For her to secure the sales agency rights for so many properties, Zhang Sheng probably exerted a lot of effort behind her back."

Wang Erhai smiled:

"This Zhang Sheng really has boundless energy, he plays so well, no wonder he can be a Big Boss."

At this moment, Wang Erhai could finally completely confirm that it was Zhang Sheng pulling strings behind the scenes, ruining his company, and then coming before him to shed crocodile tears and feign compassion.

However, he did not hate Zhang Sheng because of this.

Business is a battlefield where you can't see smoke, can't see blood.

Its cruelty is no less than that of a real battlefield.

Its test of human nature may be even more cruel than a real battlefield.

Zhang Sheng merely did what was most beneficial to himself.

He, Wang Erhai, had connected with Zhang Sheng because of Liu Mei Qi; he should have realized long ago that the moment he and Liu Mei Qi ended, the binding of interests between him and Zhang Sheng also ended.

Every penny of a capitalist is not wasted without reason.

All benefits come with a price.

"Erhai, you must not be impulsive. You can't fight Zhang Sheng."

Niu Chunsheng feared Wang Erhai was young and hot-blooded and would do something irrational, so he hurriedly advised with this sentence.

Wang Erhai's reaction, however, exceeded Niu Chunsheng's expectations; he laughed it off:

"Uncle Chunsheng, rest assured, I won't go fight Zhang Sheng. I've returned to Shanggou Village to be a Village Cadre now. Although it's a Temporary Village Cadre with no position or benefits, I find it very fulfilling."

"Oh? Really?" Niu Chunsheng's face showed surprise, then he let out a breath of relief: "If you can truly let go, then that's good."

Wang Erhai said again:

"I also took over the New Era Restaurant you founded before. This time I'm calling to seek your experience on how to run a restaurant."

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"When I ran the New Era Restaurant before, the goal was very clear: to build good relations with those people in the Town Government, and then mainly do their business. But this trick probably won't work too well now. Now the higher-ups have issued a policy, strictly cracking down on officials eating and drinking."

Wang Erhai sighed:

"Yeah, now the leaders of the Town Government don't come out to eat and drink much. I give them discounts, and they don't come either, saying they're afraid of being investigated. They'll probably only come eat when the heat dies down. But who knows when this heat will pass, or maybe it never will."

Niu Chunsheng asked at this time:

"By the way, how much money did you spend to take over that restaurant?"

"250,000 transfer fee." Wang Erhai answered honestly.

Niu Chunsheng immediately couldn't help cursing out loud:

"That bastard Zhang Zhongtian, he's too much of a profiteer, daring to swindle even a fellow villager! He definitely knew the restaurant business wasn't as good as before, yet he still demanded such a high transfer fee from you!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"You can't blame it all on Zhang Zhongtian. It was my dad who proactively opened his mouth and shouted for a 250,000 transfer fee."

Hearing this, Niu Chunsheng also didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"From now on, for business matters, it's best to let your dad participate less. He's just not cut out for business."

Niu Chunsheng's words counted as being quite tactful.

If it were someone with a more straightforward personality, they'd probably be unable to hold back from directly saying Wang Zhanggen has something wrong with his head.

Wang Zhanggen's head really isn't quite the same as a normal person's.

Looking back to those years, Li Xiulan and Niu Chunsheng partnered to open a small shop at the Village Entrance. Business was originally going well, but Wang Zhanggen insisted on going to smash the small shop, ultimately forcing Li Xiulan to withdraw from this business.

Such a thing is simply not something a normal person could do.

If Li Xiulan hadn't withdrawn back then, and had kept doing business with Niu Chunsheng, perhaps this family's fate would have changed long ago.

Why would they have had to endure so much hardship afterwards?

"Alright, alright, from now on I won't let him meddle in business matters anymore."

Wang Erhai nodded in agreement; actually, even without Niu Chunsheng's reminder, he wouldn't have let Wang Changgen meddle in business matters again.

But now the restaurant has already been leased and has been operating for a period of time; haggling over the transfer fee again would already have no meaning whatsoever.

Right now we must urgently find a way out.

So Wang Erhai said to Niu Chunsheng:

"Uncle Chunsheng, I want to open up more business channels for the restaurant. When you discuss business with clients, could you bring them over to my place to eat? I will absolutely entertain your clients well. I plan to have my mother raise a flock of purely natural, feed-free free-range chickens, absolutely letting your clients eat to their satisfaction. As for costs, I'll only charge you the cost price of the ingredients. I hope to use this method to attract customers, bring in more guests, and increase the restaurant's table turnover rate."

Niu Chunsheng agreed readily:

"Sure, completely no problem! Anyway, going from the County Town to your Town takes less than half an hour!"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was immediately overjoyed:

"Uncle Chunsheng, thank you!"

Niu Chunsheng laughed generously:

"What politeness, no need to thank me, it's just mutual benefit! Quite a few of my business friends have picky tastes; they just like eating purely natural farmhouse free-range chickens, and say chicken must taste like chicken. Who knows, they might go eat at your place and happily reach a cooperation agreement with me!"
