124: Cousin

The two people lived under the same roof and were a couple in love, so they rolled around in the sheets during the evening. The next day, Wang Cheng asked Chu Yifeng to leave before Papa Wang came. Although Chu Yifeng stayed at his house, in the end, he didn't dare to be too brazen. His parents would definitely doubt it if it happened more than once.

After the incident with the bear child, Papa Wang did not dare to bring the fragrant pig over this time, so he left it to Mama Wang to take care of. Wang Cheng wanted to visit the jam factory, so he went out after Papa Wang arrived

The jam factory that Chu Yifeng mentioned earlier was an old-fashioned jam factory that had a history of fifteen years. However, due to increasingly fierce competition, the jam factory had been reformed several times without success. Business had been going downhill, and now that they finally couldn’t bear it, the old factory director intended to sell the jam factory.

In fact, some old-fashioned jam businesses intended to buy his jam factory, but the old factory director refused. Once acquired, the personnel in the factory must undergo major changes. However, many of the employees had followed him since the establishment of the jam factory. Once these people lost their jobs, they would all be laid off and go home. It would be difficult to find a secure job. Therefore, the old factory director meant to willingly sell the jam factory at a low price, as long as the staff in the factory were not moved.

Thanks to Boss Xie for introducing them, Wang Cheng soon met the old factory director.

The old factory director was over sixty years old, ten years older than Papa Wang. His temples had white tufts of hair and his eyes were stained with wind and frost. There was a gloomy furrow between his eyebrows, probably because he could not find a buyer for a long time. If dragged on, the losses would only increase. Boss Xie introduced Wang Cheng to the old factory director, and when he found that the other party was a young man, a hint of surprise flashed on his face.

"Boy, Boss Xie should have mentioned my terms to you. As long as you promise not to move the employees in the factory and let those people stay and work, I am willing to sell you the jam factory at a low price. What do you think?"

After his brief surprise, the old factory director talked to him about business. Although Wang Cheng was very young, he still trusted the person introduced by Boss Xie. Wang Cheng did not know how close they were, but the distance between the packaging factory and the jam factory was not far, so they probably had dealings with each other. They were all businessmen. If there were bad reviews, they would receive news soon.

"I have to look at the jam factory before I can make a decision." Wang Cheng did not immediately agree. He was very happy with a ready-made jam factory, but if the conditions were too bad, he might as well open a new one.

Upon hearing this, the old factory director knew that Wang Cheng was a serious person, so he took him to the factory personally. He had such self-confidence. Although the jam factory could not be said to be the best, under his management, great importance was attached to hygiene and discipline.

After looking, Wang Cheng was really satisfied. Although the jam factory was a bit old because of the long use, it could still be used after refurbishing. The jam-making equipment was ready-made, and some were bought by the old factory director a year ago. Because there was no need to go to work today, there were no people in the factory. After looking, they returned to the original office.

"Director manages the jam factory very well. I can promise you the conditions, but there is a premise that must be made clear." Wang Cheng told him.

"You say it," said the old factory director.

"I can leave them for a trial period, but if they make a mistake in the future that exceeds my bottom line and affects the jam factory, I will not hesitate to fire them. I hope you can forgive me for this." Wang Chengcheng feared that some people would count on his promise to make trouble.

"This is natural. If they make a mistake, you don't need to care about me." The old factory director readily agreed. He made this request only because of some old employees in the factory. If there was something wrong with the character of those old folks, he would also dare not make this request.

The two parties reached an agreement and agreed to come over the day after tomorrow to sign the contract. Wang Chengcheng and Boss Xie left together. The two later separated on the road. Wang Cheng first called Chu Yifeng and learned he was in the company. Then he drove to the company to find him.

After a long absence, he came to Huaying Real Estate Company again. However, this time, Wang Cheng did not come as an employee. Cheng Cheng and Fang Tian were very surprised to see him, but Fang Tian knew he must be looking for the boss, so he didn't talk to him for too long, helping him by thoughtfully taking Cheng Cheng away. It seemed that even if he wasn't there, these people were still doing well. Wang Cheng looked at their retreating backs and smiled, shaking his head. He turned to the office to find Chu Yifeng.

"Boss Chu, I'm here."

Wang Cheng knocked at the door. He thought that it was only Chu Yifeng inside, but when he went in, he saw that there were two people in addition to Chu Yifeng. They heard his voice and turned their heads together. One of them was Shen Yuan, whom he knew, but the other one he did not know.

Shen Yuan behaved fairly normally. He already knew of the fact that Chu Yifeng and Wang Cheng had a showdown, and the two were already together, but the other did not know, so he became a little surprised. However, his age seemed to be a few years younger than Wang Cheng. It didn’t look like he was someone who was in the same circle as Chu Yifeng and Shen Yuan. Maybe he was their junior?

"Sorry, you continue as if I have not been here." Wang Cheng closed the door without saying a word.

"No, come in."

As soon as Chu Yifeng opened his mouth, the astonishment on that man's face couldn't be hidden anymore; as expected, he was still too young, showing everything on his face.

Wang Cheng didn't hesitate when he heard what he said, walked in, and closed the door.

The man didn’t look at him anymore, turning his head to stare at Chu Yifeng. He hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

"Wang Cheng, come here. Let me introduce you to someone." Shen Yuan beckoned to Wang Cheng with a smile. When he approached, he patted the shoulder of the person next to him. "His name is Lei Yunze. He is Leon’s cousin. You can Call him Xiao Ze or Yunze." Then he told Lei Yunze that Wang Cheng was Chu Yifeng's friend.

Lei Yunze had not yet graduated from university, but he was almost done. He was 22 years old this year. This time, he heard that Shen Yuan was coming to Shanhai City and wanted to see Chu Yifeng, so he pestered to come with him. He later obtained the consent of his elders at home so that Shen Yuan could bring him over.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Lei Yunze couldn't imagine that Wang Cheng was a former employee of Chu Yifeng; when he came in, his tone was too casual. The most important thing was that Wang Cheng's appearance was too dazzling, so he thought they were in the same circle. Plus, he was friends with his elder cousin, so he dared not despise Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng shook hands with him and behaved generously. On the contrary, he made Lei Yunze look at him more highly. The person who was regarded as a friend by his elder cousin would certainly not be bad, he just didn’t know which family he belonged to. He never seemed to have heard of Wang Cheng’s family. Before he could sort it out, Chu Yifeng began to dismiss the guests.

Lei Yunze didn't want to leave so soon, he had only seen his elder cousin for less than ten minutes. However, he didn't dare not listen to his elder cousin, so he had to turn around and leave one step at a time.

"Boss Chu, hasn't your cousin weaned yet?" As soon as the door of the office was closed, Wang Cheng's genuine side was revealed. He was not unhappy with Lei Yunze’s behavior, but his little appearance obviously wanted Chu Yifeng's attention.

"I have no milk here." Chu Yifeng flipped through the materials and said calmly, "Didn’t you go to talk to the director of the jam factory about the transfer of the jam factory today? What happened?"

Wang Cheng nodded. "I’m going to sign the contract the day after tomorrow."

"Need help?" Chu Yifeng directly pointed out his intention.

"You can see through it all." Wang Cheng rested his hands on the desk and said with a raised leg. "Although the old factory director is going to sell me the jam factory at a low price, I don’t have that much working capital, so I wanted to find you to borrow a little. I'll give it back to you when I get it back."

"How much?"

Wang Cheng counted: he would be using a lot of money. He was worried that the turnover would not be available, so he planned to borrow more.

Chu Yifeng didn't say anything, took out his checkbook, and wrote him a check.

Wang Cheng took the check he handed over and looked at the number on it, saying with emotion: "It is good to be friends with the local tyrant, you don't have to worry about not being able to borrow money."

Chu Yifeng heard his words and raised an eyebrow: "Where did you put your lover?"

Wang Cheng changed his words, "It's good to have a local lover, have as much as you want to borrow."

"You can still pay it back," Chu Yifeng added.

Wang Cheng glanced at him with slight contempt, "No need to call it borrowing if I’m not repaying.”

Chu Yifeng also teased him. He knew Wang Cheng's character. This point never needed to be explained, both knew it well. "Would you like me to accompany you the day after tomorrow?"

“You don’t need to trail behind." Wang Cheng didn't want to let him run back and forth for this little thing.

Chu Yifeng did not insist, either.

Chengping's marketplace was as lively as usual. The sun was about to go down. A woman who sold vegetables saw no customers. The vegetables in her basket were almost completely sold, except for some left from the morning until now. Usually, when no one bought it, she would handle it by herself, so she decided to take it home and cook. When she picked up the basket and returned home, she found a car parked at her door. Who was the driver of the car, were they a guest?

The woman walked into her own house, and everyone inside heard the sound and looked over. The woman found that the so-called guest was a strange man around 27 years old, a dozen years younger than her husband. Before she could ask, her husband came over. She was pulled to the kitchen, and before entering, she heard her father-in-law calling that person:

"Mr. Zheng."
