I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Comprehensive Consideration_1

Originally, he was given a way to survive; now, looking back, he wants to kick him while he’s down.

He really took face for granted.

Zhou Wenbin also sensed the threat, not daring to take it lightly.

He said earnestly, "I’ve communicated more with Wang Xiaocong. After Wang Shengli handed over the small hot pot business, we’ve hardly talked."

Shen Dong recalled Wang Shengli’s self-mocking apologies repeatedly in his mind, his smile growing colder, "Find some time, and hang out with him. It doesn’t matter to eat at his big restaurant a few times, right?"

Shen Dong wasn’t explicit, but Zhou Wenbin understood, guaranteeing, "Don’t worry, Second Brother, I’m very clear on how much that loser weighs!"

"Don’t give them a handle to use against you." Shen Dong only cautioned him this, irritated, but without much concern.

Just like Prince treating Shen Dong.

Prince gathered the retail giants; with a mere three to five billion, he could cut off Silver Moonlight’s supply chain and even make Shen Dong pay over a billion in damages.

Shen Dong could be just as casual about Wang Shengli.

It has to be said, money and power really are great things that largely determine the exploitative and oppressive relationships in the social food chain.

The pigsty was filled with the continuous noise of pigs, but thankfully, there wasn’t a smell of rot.

Zhu Dunzi, remembering the big feast at the wheat field, was taking off his work clothes and coming out of the pigsty when he happened to see Shen Dong, "Hey, Shen Dong, weren’t you going to have hot pot at the wheat field? Why did you come up here?"

Shen Dong was adept at controlling his expressions, his smile not quite reaching his eyes as he said, "Just asking how the village’s breeding plans are coming along."

"I’m rallying partners. I plan to circle the mountain and set up a breeding center. The empty space will be planted with cherry trees, and existing fruit trees will be kept; farmland can be ignored."

Zhu Dunzi was someone who dared to dream and to make his dreams come true. As he took off his grimy work clothes and wiped his hands with a towel, he spoke.

"I’ve done the research and asked around, the terrain of Shishan can ensure the septic tanks avoid any water sources, and being built leveraging the mountain’s slope, the construction won’t be extensive."

Shen Dong had heard enough to know Zhu Dunzi had made thorough preparations.

He waved his hand and glanced at Zhu Dunzi, "You don’t need to tell me the details. I’ll intervene in just one matter: do not hire a single person from our village.

Tell them at the wheat field, those who want to leave Shishan, give them double the current house price; those who don’t want to go can stay in Shishan, no one’s stopping them."

"Also, tell Yu Lao’er that the food street will be closed starting tomorrow."

At this, Zhu Dunzi’s smile abruptly stopped, and though he didn’t understand, he knew the seriousness of the matter. He grabbed Shen Dong’s arm urgently, "Shen Dong, how can the food street close down? So many people in our village depend on it for their meals!"

Shen Dong had not shown warmth to Lai San earlier, and now, he didn’t give Zhu Dunzi a smile, coldly stating, "I can’t feed ingrates."

Hearing this, Zhu Dunzi threw his towel down in frustration, "Damn it, who’s an ingrate... That’s right, the wheat field, I want to see who doesn’t want to have a good life!"

Cursing, Zhu Dunzi didn’t try to detain Shen Dong and drove off to the wheat field on his three-wheeler.

At the center of the wheat field, a big pot was set over the fire, water bubbling intensely.

Villagers were picking vegetables and washing meat, gathering in small groups and chatting about trivial matters of family and home.

When Zhu Dunzi arrived and stepped off his three-wheeler, he started to curse with hands on hips, "Who is it that doesn’t want to have a good life? What is Shishan’s success built on, huh?"

The people were confused, standing up to look at Zhu Dunzi, "Hey, what’s gotten into you, and what’s wrong now!"

"Shen Dong said, he can’t feed ingrates!" Zhu Dunzi quoted verbatim and pointed at the big pot over the fire, "I just have one question: could you have imagined this life six months ago? Would you have dared to slaughter a lamb to eat?"

"That’s not connected. We know Shen Dong has had a tough time outside, and this feast was specially prepared for him. How does that make us ingrates? Did you hear something?" The villagers contended, appearing to demand an explanation.

A few people had unnatural expressions on their faces and quietly shrank backwards.

"Who called me just now?"

"Was it you? You were going on about Shen Dong for days before. Are you turning into an ingrate now?" No one knew who shouted this, but it was indeed the truth.

Back then, there was no food street, and some folks from Yutian were jealous of Wang Shengli’s little hot pot restaurant and didn’t work as hard as Xu Laonian, so they earned less.

When Shen Dong went to check things out, he caught Yutian slacking off and kicked him in the street.

Yutian was young and spirited, so of course he didn’t take it lying down. But having it brought up at this critical moment was too targeted, and he immediately retorted, "You can’t just talk nonsense. I was just being outspoken. Really, you can ask Uncle Yu. Uncle Yu even hit me then."

"Alright, alright!" Yu Lao’er pulled Yutian back and pressed down with both hands, "Can we please listen to what Zhu Dunzi has to say? Stop yelling, okay?"

That shut them up.

Zhu Dunzi put things aside and raised three fingers, "Food street is closed, the farm won’t include villagers, offering double to buy your houses—those are the three points. When I asked why, Shen Dong said he doesn’t keep ingrates."

"Figure it out for yourselves."

The wheat field became quiet for a moment, then exploded with anger, someone bellowed, "Who the hell is that?"

"Yeah, with what Shen Dong said, it’s clear he wants to draw the line. Offering double for our houses, oh my... this is a sin."

"Where did this heartless person come from?"

"Making meatballs only brings in over three thousand a month; the food street shops pull in at least six thousand. Just like that, nearly ten thousand bucks gone?"

"What are you complaining about? My store sold over eight thousand last month, and I even sold over four hundred roast chickens."

Feelings are in the heart, but the accounts are on the books.

A few villagers who had been influenced by Wang Shengli were fiddling with their abacuses in their hearts. Remembering Wang Shengli’s past deeds, they pushed through the crowd and grabbed Yu Lao’er, "Brother Yu, can we talk privately for a moment?"

Many things didn’t need to be said out loud.

Shen Dong only had a few irrelevant words with Zhu Dunzi, and the whole of Shishan was set ablaze.

But that was not Shen Dong’s intention.

As soon as Shen Dong returned to Hai City, he immediately summoned Wang Xiaocong to Silver Moonlight.

Tang Yuchan had left, yet Wang Xiaocong was working even harder, touching and surprising Shen Dong. Once everyone had arrived, Shen Dong locked the door, turned around with a smile, "Brother Three is suffering inside, and all the remaining family members are here."

"I have two things to say."

"First, we need to pretend to be poor. We’ll stop the food street, declaring it’s not profitable, and put all the shops up for sale."

As he spoke, Shen Dong intentionally paused, waiting for Wang Xiaocong to object.

But Wang Xiaocong showed no reaction.

Shen Dong had planned to play the role of a cold-hearted CEO, but he couldn’t help asking with a laugh, "Mr. Kang, you don’t have any objections?"

"It’s passable," Wang Xiaocong didn’t beat around the bush, taking out a notebook from his pocket, "The food street has potential, but with the lack of foot traffic, the people of Hai City will gradually grow tired of it, entering a lengthy stagnation period. I hate to let it go, but I don’t oppose giving it up."

It was like a baptism of fire and ice, the whole team became calm and steady.

Shen Dong’s stopping the food street wasn’t simply to deal with certain people in Shishan; he had a very comprehensive consideration.
