Chapter 246 A Safe Haven Turns into a Hell
Pei Yuanshan's face was extremely ugly.
To his utter surprise, Qiu Linna from the Food and Drug Administration called him and mentioned Wang Peng's agency for Sanhua Wine.
This was a reminder to him to handle his relationship with Wang Peng carefully.
He had to be careful; if Qiu Linna caused him trouble, Sanhua Wine would probably have to withdraw from the provincial capital market.
"Just how powerful are Wang Peng's backers? How many backers does he have? Why is Qiu Linna acting as his advocate?"
Pei Yuanshan frowned, his expression growing increasingly grave.
"Chairman, what's wrong?" Wang Zhen asked in a low voice.
Pei Yuanshan squinted and turned to look at Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of fear rose within him.
Soon, she felt her scalp tingle from being stared at, as if countless ants were crawling all over her, and she gradually let out a cold snort.
The car arrived at the Brothers Tobacco and Liquor Store. Pei Yuanshan walked in and asked, "Miss Dong, is Brother Peng still upstairs?"
"Yes, I am," Dong Shishi said with a smile. "Please wait a moment, Mr. Pei. Brother Peng is currently receiving two senior students."
Pei Yuanshan frowned. In the past, he would have turned around and left without saying a word, and others would always be waiting for him.
That won't work now. He doesn't care if he leaves because the pressure Qiu Lina is putting on him is just too much.
So he smiled and nodded, then sat down and waited patiently.
Upstairs, Wang Peng looked at the 101 yuan on the table, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Senior Cai, Senior Han, I'm not so down on my luck that I need everyone's donations. It's all my wife's fault for causing trouble."
"Don't be so polite, junior," Cai Jianren said with a smile. "No one forced us to donate; it's voluntary."
Han Jianguo's face flushed slightly. "Brother Peng, my family's situation is very difficult. I can only donate one piece..."
“Senior, kindness knows no bounds,” Wang Peng said. “Whether it’s one yuan or one hundred, it’s still kindness. I thank you both.”
Upon hearing this, Han Jianguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he had worried that Wang Peng would look down on him because he had donated less money.
Wang Peng said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will try my best to help you."
“Okay.” Cai Jianren stood up and said with a smile, “I’ll go get some glasses first, and we can talk another day.”
Wang Peng got up and saw them downstairs, where he saw Pei Yuanshan and Wang Zhen.
He smiled slightly and asked with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Pei, is there anything else?"
Pei Yuanshan said, "Brother Wang Peng, I just consulted the board of directors again, and they have decided to waive your deposit."
Wang Zhen's eyes widened instantly, staring blankly at Pei Yuanshan. Why did this old beast suddenly change his mind? Why?
Suddenly, she remembered that phone call. Who made that call?
"Oh? Oh?" Wang Peng walked down the stairs with his hands in his pockets. "Old Pei, what's going on?"
Pei Yuanshan smiled and said, "Actually, I was just joking with you. You built the reputation of Sanhua Wine in the provincial capital, so the board of directors believes that you are the most suitable general agent in the provincial capital."
“The board of directors has considered your needs. If you don’t want to pay the deposit, then don’t. Just sell more goods in the future,” Pei Yuanshan emphasized again.
Wang Peng couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it. "Old Pei, don't force yourself."
“No pressure,” Pei Yuanshan said. “If you can make money for the board of directors, they certainly won’t treat you unfairly.”
"Alright, that's fine, no need to force it." Wang Peng turned to look at Wang Zhen. "Secretary Wang, you seem unhappy?"
"No, no, Mr. Wang, don't joke around." Wang Zhen forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace.
She was so angry that her liver hurt. Since Wang Peng didn't pay the deposit, she had no way to control him. How could she not be angry?
Since things had come to this point, staying any longer would only lead to further embarrassment, so Pei Yuanshan immediately took his leave.
Wang Peng saw them off and watched their car drive away, remaining lost in thought for a long time.
Old Pei's initial arrogance followed by his subsequent obsequiousness is laughable, but there must be a reason behind it.
"Brother, did Lao Pei suddenly have a change of heart?" Dong Shishi asked in confusion.
"That kind of person has no conscience," Wang Peng sneered, "He must be under some kind of pressure."
Just then, the telephone on the counter rang.
When Wang Peng looked at the caller ID, his eyes sharpened immediately; it was a China Mobile number starting with 139.
The first mobile phone number segment of the mobile company; those who can afford mobile phones now are the first group of people to get rich.
Previously, I had only received landline calls, and occasionally a few mobile phone calls; this was the first time I had encountered a mobile phone number.
He answered the phone, "Hello, this is Brothers Tobacco and Liquor Store."
"Xiaopeng, I'm your neighbor across the hall, Lao Zhang."
"Is this Sister Zhang? Hello, hello."
"Come back quickly and check! There's water everywhere in front of your house. Did you forget to turn off the tap when you left this morning?"
Wang Peng was taken aback, then quickly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go home right away."
Forgetting to turn off the water is my wife's specialty, which is why we don't use gas cylinders at home.
Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated. He drove all the way back to the Wenxin residential area and arrived at his own door, only to find no leaks.
He opened the door and found the living room spotless. He hurried into the kitchen but found no trace of dew.
"Is Sister-in-law Zhang lying to me? But she's a normal person; she wouldn't joke about something like this."
Just as he was wondering what was going on, the doorbell rang. He went to open the door and was immediately dumbfounded.
A woman stood outside the door, laughing.
She had permed, frizzy hair, wore a black suit and black leather shoes, and looked terrifying.
Women aren't scary, but if a woman is Li Mengjiao, then she is very scary.
Bang! Wang Peng slammed the door shut and stood behind it in a daze. "Hallucination, hallucination, it's all a hallucination."
He hurriedly peered through the peephole and was terrified; it really was Li Mengjiao.
I understand now. It must have been that brat who gave Sister Zhang a bribe to trick me into going home.
He hurriedly opened the door and pulled her inside, "Grandma, what brings you back..."
Li Mengjiao threw away the bag in her hand, hugged his neck, and bit his lips.
With a push of her feet, she clung to him, her thighs gripping his waist tightly, and began to fall.
Wang Peng instinctively grabbed her buttocks to prevent her from falling.
"Honey, give it to me! I want it!"
"What the hell! When did you get back? What are you doing in my house?"
"Honey, I'm starving. If you don't feed me, I'm going to go out and hunt for food."
Li Mengjiao held her head high, her little expression full of arrogance.
"You! Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Wang Peng was so angry he had a headache. "Let's find somewhere else, not here."
"Honey, are you afraid Li Mingzhu will trap us in bed?" Li Mengjiao scoffed. "I want to try what it's like to do it on her turf."
"Are you crazy!" Wang Peng didn't want to stay at home for even a second longer, and said urgently, "Let's go to a hotel, okay?"
"Hmph, you've got the desire but not the guts. I agree." Li Mengjiao revealed a victorious expression.
Wang Peng felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly put her down and turned to get the car keys from the coffee table.
"Husband," Li Mengjiao hugged him from behind and said coquettishly, "You buy a house for Li Mingzhu, and you have to buy a house for me too. They're both your wives, you can't be biased."
"God, what sins have I committed?" Wang Peng was numb and said helplessly, "Buy, buy, I'm going to get the passbook."
"Hehe, thank you, honey." Li Mengjiao giggled and let go of him.
Wang Peng opened the drawer, took out the passbook, and hurriedly pulled Li Mengjiao away.
This place, which was once a warm and welcoming haven, has now become a hellish place where people can be killed at any moment!
