Chapter 215: 215 This is Xiaofeng’s territory (first update)
Xiaofeng raised her head gently, "Aunt, whenever you can prove it, that’s when you can come find me." Xiaofeng didn’t have any spare time to waste words with them, "I’ll also lay it out here, if uncle and aunt definitely want to move out grandpa and grandma, you have to prove whether you had mourned them or taken any money when they died, otherwise how could I possibly repay grandpa and grandma’s kindness to you?"
Su Guisheng listened to Su Xiaofeng’s words and wanted to curse, but swallowed his words when he saw the two men who entered.
Liao Xianghe entered in a carefree manner, with Tie Bao following behind him. Liao Xianghe heard that the factory had bought a new vehicle and insisted on taking Tie Bao for a spin; they had just returned.
Having a car is prestigious, it’s good.
"Boss Su," Liao Xianghe glanced at Su Guisheng and his wife without making much of them, "Our factory’s truck is really impressive."
"It’s brand new, how could it not be impressive?" Tie Bao was now driving the car and didn’t dare to press the accelerator too hard, it was too new, he was afraid to break it.
"Uncle, Aunt, do you have anything else? If not, you can go back first, and come back whenever you can prove it. I still have things to deal with at the factory and won’t keep you for dinner." Xiaofeng didn’t respond to Xianghe and Tie Bao’s remarks, her eyes fixed on Su Guisheng and his wife.
This isn’t Lihua Village, this is Su Xiaofeng’s factory. The two muscular men in front of her called her Boss Su, they must be her workers.
If they caused trouble here, this damn girl might have the factory people throw them out directly. After considering the situation, Su Guisheng stood up, "Fine, your aunt and I are reasonable people. We’ll go back first. You should think carefully about what you owe our Su Family, and when you will return it?"
It wasn’t easy to deal with Su Xiaofeng in the factory. After all, Xiaofeng had to return to the village eventually, and in the village, he wanted to see if she would still dare talk to him like this.
Damn girl, really thinks she’s something just because she has some money, doesn’t she?
"I owe my grandparents, my father, but I don’t owe you anything," Su Xiaofeng repeated.
"You’ve become a boss now, surely you’ve heard of gratitude and paying it back. Think it over well. Let’s go back, Guisheng," Ma Donghua wailed in the village, but she didn’t dare here.
This is the city after all, and this is Xiaofeng’s territory.
As the couple left the factory and looked at the factory gates, Ma Donghua nudged Su Guisheng, "I thought it was just a small factory, with three or four workers at most. I didn’t expect it to look quite substantial. How about we don’t ask for a split, but become partners in the factory instead?"
Seeing how prestigious Su Xiaofeng looked, with everyone calling her Boss Su here and there, she seemed like some important official, with everyone listening to her orders.
"Exactly," Su Guisheng also felt the itch, "You saw how snobby Xiaofeng was, not thinking for a moment who she relied on to get where she is today."
"This damn girl used to be so easy to deceive, but has become difficult to talk to recently. We’re just trying to get a share of the money, but the way she guards against us, it’s as if we’re thieves," Ma Donghua was furious at the thought.
"Uncle Guisheng," Liu An came out from the factory with a companion, emerging from a darker area, "How did it go, did Su Xiaofeng agree?"
Before coming here, it was agreed that if Su Guisheng could get a share of the gold teapot, he would give a thousand as a finder’s fee.
"Not a damn thing, she’s as crafty as a fox," Su Guisheng waved his hand, "By the way, Liu An, what about this factory, do you know anything? It looks pretty good to me."
Liu An glanced at the gate, "Good? I heard it’s going to shut down before long." Of course, Liu An couldn’t say anything good about Su Xiaofeng, "Uncle Guisheng, you should take actual cash if you can, don’t be fooled by her sweet-talking."
"I knew it, how could a young girl run a factory? It’s better if it shuts down," Ma Donghua immediately discarded the thought of partnering with Xiaofeng on hearing the factory was closing.
Liu An was right, it’s best when things are in your hands or you’re holding cash.
"Liu An, you don’t know, that girl Xiaofeng doesn’t want to split the money with us, she wants to swallow our Su Family’s wealth whole, and now she’s asking us to prove whether my parents contributed money or wore mourning when they died," Su Guisheng complained to Liu An while walking, "I’m their flesh and blood, isn’t that proof enough? Just because we didn’t wear sackcloth and ashes doesn’t mean anything, what kind of logic is that?"
"She just doesn’t want to give it," Liu An wasn’t going to argue about this pointless topic, "If she won’t give, can’t you think of something?"
"You have a way?" Ma Donghua sounded puzzled at the other’s suggestion.
"There’s a way, but it’s a bit troublesome," Liu An scratched his head.
"As long as you can make her cough up the goods, we’ll add another thousand," Ma Donghua clearly understood Liu An’s intentions; he just wanted a benefit fee.
A gold teapot is worth several tens of thousands, to settle for two thousand is out of the question, "Five thousand."
Ordinary people might not even earn five thousand after two years of work.
Although Su Guisheng resented Liu An’s outrageous demands, if he indeed had a way to get the golden teapot, five thousand was nothing but a drop in the ocean, "If your method really works, then five thousand it is."
He had come to realize that Xiaofeng definitely didn’t want to give it up easily. If the soft approach wouldn’t work, he had no choice but to play hardball.
Liu An gave a mysterious smile and motioned for their heads to come closer.
...
"Who were that couple just now, they didn’t look like good people at all?" Liao Xianghe had been around for a few years, and could pretty much tell the difference between good and bad people at a glance.
"My uncle and aunt," Xiaofeng didn’t elaborate, "Xianghe, you need to step up the acquisition efforts. We’ve got more workers now, and the demand for raw materials is only going to increase. Didn’t Director Zhou just recruit two young people? You take them with you."
"This is a promotion for me," Liao Xianghe’s face lit up when he heard this. He hadn’t been working long, and he was already getting promoted. Working a job was indeed much better than living as a punk—there was a greater sense of hope.
"That’s nothing much, one day I’ll get you to manage a hundred or eighty people, and you better not say you can’t handle it," Tie Bao said with a laugh.
"A hundred or eighty people is nothing, I can handle even more," Liao Xianghe was full of confidence.
Originally, it was thought that the two would not get along well, but as the days went by, they seemed to have a decent working relationship.
...
A few people looking like staff members arrived at the Su Family Guaizi’s home. Su Peng was out gathering pig fodder, He Ximei was working in the fields, and only Guaizi was at home.
"Hello, this is the Su Guisheng household, right?" A well-dressed man with a neat side-parted hairstyle asked politely as he approached Guaizi, who was working inside the house.
Guaizi was making a stool at home. Hearing the voice, he looked up at the visitors and felt they looked unfamiliar: "Who are you?"
"Brother Su," the visitor said with a smile, stepping forward to introduce himself, "We are from the city’s Cultural Company. My surname is Qian; these colleagues are with me. We’ve heard that your family has unearthed some interesting items, so we specifically came to have a look."
Cultural Company? Guaizi had no concept of it: "What company?"
"Brother Su," the visitor, a man in his thirties with a respectable appearance, addressed Guaizi as ’big brother’, "Cultural Company is a company that specializes in researching and collecting antiques. We heard that your family has discovered a golden teapot, so we traveled from the city to see it for ourselves. Of course, if it’s of any value for collection, our company is willing to purchase it for a high price."
Listening to the visitor’s words, Guaizi began to understand a bit, realizing these people were here for the valuable items Xiaofeng had. He sighed deeply: "Too bad, you’re too late. My daughter did have five items; we didn’t know if they were worth anything, so we sold them."
"Brother Su," the staff member surnamed Qian said with a smile, "Don’t try to fool us. You haven’t sold them at all. If you had sold such valuable items, it would be impossible for our company to have no information about it. Let me put it this way, if you just sell them based on the price of gold recycling, you are going to take a big loss."
Su Guisheng and his wife saw that guests had arrived, so they too entered Guaizi’s home.
Su Guisheng looked at the visitors, somewhat bewildered, "Who are you?"
"Hello, we are from the Cultural Company in the city, specifically collecting folk art and antiques with collection value. We received news that the Su Guisheng household possesses some antiques worthy of our collection, so we came to take a look," the staff member surnamed Qian explained.
"Big brother," Su Guisheng laughed upon hearing the visitor’s words, "See, people have come straight to our door offering money. Big brother, no matter how safe keeping a few items at home is, it’s better to sell them for peace of mind. Why don’t you show them to these folks, let them appraise and see how much they can offer? We’re just country folks, not very savvy. It’s good to let the professionals have a look."
Liu An really had some tricks up his sleeve, to actually find a few respectable-looking folks to come over here.
"Who is your big brother," Guaizi glared angrily at Su Guisheng, "Didn’t I tell you yesterday, if you dare to go looking for Xiaofeng, then I no longer have a brother like you."
"Look at you, we just went to check out Xiaofeng’s factory and familiarize ourselves with the route, we didn’t say a single wrong word," Su Guisheng certainly did not take his big brother’s words to heart.
Ma Donghua spoke directly to the staff member surnamed Qian, "You want to see the items, right? They are all in my niece’s possession, I will take you to her."
Guisheng too thought, why waste words with the big brother? Just bring the people directly to Xiaofeng.
