Chapter 92: The Protection of the Big Shot
Bailu knew that Wu Xiuyun was not an outsider, so she served tea. Even in a close relationship, it's essential to show courtesy.
Reciprocity and mutual benefit are necessary for long-term cooperation.
"Aunt Wu, any big clients recently?"
Wu Xiuyun pondered for a moment and understood her question. "The client from Gaofeng Town did buy candied chestnuts to attract new customers. Wang Cuihua sell the thirty pounds of candied chestnuts she didn't sell on the first day."
"Her name is Wu Fangli. She married someone from our husband's village, and we get along well. She has been selling fruits for many years. The first time she took those thirty pounds of candied chestnuts back, she sold them all on the same day. The fruit business also saw a significant increase in sales."
Bailu heard about a new sales channel. "Does she have any intention to add candied chestnuts to her fruit stand?"
Wu Xiuyun nodded, "Certainly. Wu Fangli sold out the thirty pounds of candied chestnuts she took back that day. The fruit business has also seen a significant boost."
"Everyone wants to make money in business. Wu Fangli naturally wants to sell candied chestnuts. However, the situation in Gaofeng Town is different from our new town. While Wu Fangli can add candied chestnuts to her offerings for some extra income, starting a dedicated sales route is not something she can decide. There are people on the street who may disagree..."
In this era, it's not the 21st century, and there are official authorities controlling market order.
Bailu thought of the incident with Wang Cuihua's stall being disrupted and felt a bit uneasy. "Who are those people?"
If it's just some small troublemakers, the big shot could handle it.
The big shot has a considerable reputation in that circle, and anyone, including street ruffians, would show great respect.
Wu Xiuyun naturally understood what Bailu was thinking. After all, she had considered this aspect as well. Anyone doing a small business in the town or city has paid stall fees and understands the influence of the local powers.
Similar incidents occurred in the new town before, but after Xiao Cheng gained a reputation as a tough guy, troublemakers were scared away.
People outside knew about Xiao Cheng in the new town, and no one dared to cause trouble in his territory, let alone challenge him.
However, Gaofeng Town was not as fortunate. Wu Xiuyun shook her head and sighed, "Li Chengbin's people."
The conflict between Li Chengbin and Xiao Cheng had become widely known in town since the arrival of those police officers not long ago.
Although the situation was later controlled by Bailu, Xiao Cheng and others were not taken away. Still, judging by Li Chengbin's resentful departure, the enmity between them and Xiao Cheng was deepening.
Li Chengbin's people were causing trouble in Gaofeng Town, and he was probably looking for an opportunity to deal with Xiao Cheng. If Xiao Cheng intervened, it would undoubtedly stir up more trouble.
Wu Xiuyun naturally wouldn't tell Bailu about this matter, adding unnecessary worries. She decided to let go of the idea of expanding the sales channel for candied chestnuts.
Xiao Cheng was still consolidating his position, and Bailu didn't want him to confront Li Chengbin at this time.
Regarding the sales channel in Gaofeng Town, they would explore other options if possible, and if not, they would let it go.
After seeing off Wu Xiuyun, Bailu walked back, lost in thought. Suddenly, she bumped into a strong and sturdy chest.
Although she wasn't walking fast and her mind was elsewhere, she almost fell backward. Fortunately, her waist was held, stabilizing her.
Bailu touched her slightly sore nose and looked up dizzily, realizing it was the big shot.
"Are you going out?"
Xiao Cheng steadied Bailu and saw her red nose. He comfortingly rubbed her head.
Answering softly, "Drive the car back to the brick factory."
"Oh..." Bailu was about to walk back when she heard a knocking sound from behind. The courtyard gate wasn't closed.
She turned instinctively.
Two men, with faces resembling each other to some extent, stood at the door. They called out to Xiao Cheng, "Brother Cheng."
Then they called out to her, "Sister-in-law."
Bailu had a guess in her mind, and as she smiled at them, she turned to Xiao Cheng and asked, "Are you coming back for lunch?"
Don't disappear like last night; otherwise, the dishes will be too much to finish.
Xiao Cheng understood her displeasure from the furrow on her forehead. In a lowered tone, he said, "I'll come back for lunch."
"Tell me in advance next time."
With outsiders around, Bailu didn't want to say much. She obediently responded, "Okay," and saw him off.
Being observed by the sister-in-law, Zhang San and Li Si felt uncomfortable. Even though the sister-in-law's attention wasn't on them but on Xiao Cheng ahead, they couldn't avoid feeling the gaze.
Moreover, after witnessing the scene just now, they were disgusted by the "asking for food" situation between Xiao Cheng and Bailu.
Zhang San and Li Si felt an uncomfortable chill and envy. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.
They had never seen this side of Xiao Cheng. If they came a few more times, they wouldn't need to eat to be full.
Finally, they understood why Luo Shiliu no longer waited for Brother Cheng and the others at Brother Cheng's house.
Xiao Cheng didn't go far, stopping under a big tree not far from the brick truck, tapping on the tree trunk.
"How did you know I was up there?" A figure jumped down from a large branch, a smirk hanging on his lips.
Xiao Cheng glanced at him, "You never hide anywhere else."
No need for question marks; the fact was right in front of them. Luo Shiliu didn't even have a word to refute.
Xiao Cheng didn't bother, "What's the matter?"
Zhang San and Li Si, who were watching from behind, were bewildered.
Wasn't it about collecting protection fees for Wang Cuihua just now? Why did it suddenly turn to Gaofeng Town, which is miles away?
