Wu Gu di’s heart stirred upon hearing this. He asked again, "Xiao Zhu Zhu is so amazing. Can you take me to see his end as well?"
"Serve me well, and anything you want is yours with a word." Zhu Lao San opened his eyes and pinned Wu Gu di down.
Wu Gu di shyly turned his face, silently consenting to his actions. What followed was a harmonious battle.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Liu Nian and the other three headed towards Fu Qiang Pig Farm again. However, when they arrived, they happened to witness a major drama unfolding.
"Boss Zhu, are you trying to force me to my death? The piglets were fine yesterday, but because your subordinate fell in, an entire pen of piglets died. I won't believe you have nothing to do with this."
"I, Chen Zheng He, have seen countless people and understand your intentions clearly. This is a trap, a scheme you designed to extort me, isn't it?" Chen Zheng He's voice sounded both frantic and furious.
Zhang Liu Nian's footsteps paused. He closed the car door and quickly walked forward.
"Don't you know why my man fell in? It was because that kid surnamed Zhang beat him. If you want trouble, go find him.
"Anyway, the delivery time has come, but you can't deliver on time. You must give me fifty thousand, or I'll make your factory disappear." Zhu Lao San had always been a bully and was used to such dealings. He was well aware of these tactics.
Therefore, at this moment, he was not afraid of Chen Zheng He not complying because he had plenty of ways to make him hand over fifty thousand, and even make him willingly deliver this batch of ten thousand wild boar piglets to him.
It was just a pity that thousands of piglets were lost this time. That stuff was quite lethal!
"Even without Boss Zhang, weren't you planning to do this anyway? Otherwise, why would you secretly change the liquidated damages? Boss Zhu, don't treat us like fools..."
"Even if I treat you like a fool, what can you do to me? You old fool who knows no fear." Before Chen Zheng He could finish speaking, Boss Zhu leaned in and impatiently admitted it directly. However, only Chen Zheng He heard his words.
Chen Zheng He was furious after hearing this and raised his hand to strike him. However, before he could even make a move, his legs suddenly ached, and he fell to the ground.
"Factory director?"
Chen Zheng He's assistant, seeing this, shouted and pushed aside a man standing behind Chen Zheng He. He rushed forward, intending to help the factory director up, but he was also ambushed from behind and sent sprawling to the ground, joining Chen Zheng He.
"Factory Director Chen, are you trying to learn from that brat Zhang? It's a pity that I, Zhu Lao San, won't fall into the same trap twice, and you won't get the chance to be a brat."
"Who are you calling a brat?" Zhang Liu Nian, hearing Zhu Lao San repeatedly curse him, suddenly spoke from behind him.
"A brat means you."
Zhu Lao San's mouth moved faster than his mind. After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Zhang Liu Nian nodding in agreement, "You admit you're a brat yourself. You have some self-awareness."
"You mongrel, who are you calling a brat?" Zhu Lao San was so angry that his fat quivered, his beady eyes bulged, and his mouth opened wide as if to devour someone.
"Whoever answers is the one, you scumbag." Zhang Liu Nian retorted, looking down condescendingly at the short and fat Zhu Lao San.
His demeanor greatly displeased Zhu Lao San. His ugliness and shortness were his most sensitive points, yet Zhang Liu Nian deliberately adopted a condescending attitude, instantly breaking his composure. "Beat him, beat this mongrel hard! How dare he insult me? He deserves to die."
At Zhu Lao San's command, the ten thugs he brought immediately charged towards Zhang Liu Nian.
"Brother Liu Nian, I'll go with you." Zhang Qian, seeing the large number of opponents, wouldn't stand by idly.
Kong Da and Kong Xiao exchanged glances and also stepped forward, "And us."
Zhang Liu Nian did not refuse, only telling them to be careful. Then, a one-sided rout began.
The battle was over in a few minutes, with Zhang Liu Nian winning without suspense.
"You bastard, you mongrel, you brat..." Zhu Lao San was spitting fire in his anger, constantly uttering curses.
Zhang Liu Nian, upon hearing this, unleashed his full aura and walked towards him step by step.
Seeing Zhang Liu Nian approach, Zhu Lao San immediately recalled yesterday's pain and panicked, his body starting to retreat.
"Factory Director Chen, I'll give you three days. If you don't gather fifty thousand, I'll flatten your factory." Boss Zhu, seeing that he couldn't defeat Zhang Liu Nian, left with this parting threat.
Chen Zheng He swayed weakly after hearing this.
He had originally thought that as long as he delivered the goods on time, this matter would be over.
He never expected that Zhu Lao San's plan was not to accept the delivery smoothly but to extort his money.
Damn it, if he had known he was such a person, he would never have agreed to cooperate with him.
"It's all over, all over." Where could he get fifty thousand? Unless he sold the factory.
But this factory was something he had acquired at a great cost. If he sold it, he would have nothing left.
Chen Zheng He looked as if his spirit had been drained, losing all vitality.
"Factory Director Chen, what's wrong?" Zhang Liu Nian saw his sadness and pain, but he had just arrived and didn't really understand what had happened.
As Chen Zheng He was contemplating what to do, he heard Zhang Liu Nian's voice and suddenly thought of something, blurting out, "I'll sell! I'll sell! I intend to sell all eight thousand wild boar piglets to you. Do you want them?"
"Sell them to me? But didn't you already sell this batch to Zhu Lao San?"
Zhang Liu Nian was somewhat stunned by this sudden surprise. How did things suddenly turn around?
He had already planned to choose a different breed, and now a twist of fate occurred.
"Bah, don't mention him. He's a madman, a beast. To get my liquidated damages, he poisoned my piglets to death. That's two thousand of them. How could he do such a thing?" Chen Zheng He intensely hated Zhu Lao San, and even hearing his name made him extremely displeased.
"So shameless?" This was outright robbery! Zhang Liu Nian hadn't expected such a thing to happen overnight.
Just then, he suddenly recalled a scene he had witnessed yesterday, the gesture of that young man clapping his hands. He suspected, could it have been that one action?
"I've never met such a shameless person. To extort fifty thousand from me, he resorted to such cruel means. It's lawless. How can I possibly come up with fifty thousand? Unless I sell the factory, I simply can't gather it."
Chen Zheng He said his predicament with red eyes, gritting his teeth.
Zhang Liu Nian sighed after listening. He didn't know how to comfort him. Such a situation was indeed difficult to resolve.
Unless Chen Zheng He had an even stronger backing than Zhu Lao San, then, judging by Zhu Lao San's demeanor, he would definitely snatch the money.
"Putting aside that shameless fellow, do you want this batch of goods? Even if you don't, I won't give them to Zhu Lao San again. That beast doesn't deserve them." Chen Zheng He forced himself to calm down, deciding to deal with the goods first. At least he could sell them for tens of thousands of yuan.
Seeing his seriousness, Zhang Liu Nian naturally did not object. He paid the money, completed the handover, and personally sent off the two brothers Kong Da. Turning to Chen Zheng He, he said, "This batch of goods is still a bit lacking for me. If you can raise another ten thousand for me, that would be even better."
"But there's no rush with this. You should resolve the matter with Zhu Lao San first."
