Return To 1990

Give Me Another Ten Days

It wasn’t a problem for him to stay here every night, thought Lu Feng along the way. He does need to appoint a few supervisors to develop the management team.

He Yanli had not slept well all night. She did not come in contact with anyone rich, but recently, she heard that Lu Feng was getting rich.

She understood too well that if Lu Feng had come in contact with rich women, he would not have bothered with her at all. Now is her last chance. As for someone like Wu Hongyu, he is just a way out.

If she cannot seduce Lu Feng, she would just have to make Jiang Xiaoyan leave. Early in the morning, she knocked on Jiang Xiaoyan’s door and made up a story about Lu Feng and their relationship.

Lu Feng returned home and found the door open. Jiang Xiaoyan was sitting at the table, crying, and Duo Duo was still sleeping.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Feng wondered, “Why are you crying so early in the morning?”

“It’s fine!” Jiang Xiaoyan snapped angrily with red eyes.

Lu Feng looked at her and realized that Jiang Xiaoyan would swallow all grievances, not voicing any. 

“If you have anything to say, just say it. I don’t want to come home to see you wipe your tears every few days; It affects my mood.” Lu Feng sat down as he said.

“He Yanli told me about the two of you.” Jiang Xiaoyan sniffled and sobbed, “It’s fine; you’ve treated Duo Duo and me well enough. I should be satisfied.”

Lu Feng understood instantly. He dressed in a suit for the past few days, and news of giving Jiang Xiaoyan 300 dollars had spread throughout the city. It was bound to make several people jealous.

He stood up and walked out the door.

“What are you going to do?”

“Don’t worry about it!”

Lu Feng reached He Yanli’s door. He raised his foot and kicked the door with all his might!

Bang!

A muffled sound could be heard throughout the corridor. Many residents stuck their heads out to look.

“Who kicked my door? Don’t you want to live anymore?” He Yanli’s cusses came from within the room. She opened the damaged door and saw Lu Feng, “Why did you kick my door?”

“I’m telling you! you mess with my family again, I’ll slap you!” Lu Feng turned his head and glanced around the room, managing to hear a few whispers. He shouted, “How much money do I earn!? What does it have to do with you? All of you are chewing on your tongues. If you make me angry, I will pull your tongues out.”

“I didn’t say it!” He Yanli said condescendingly, “I just woke up. Don’t be so angry; let’s go inside.”

She was wearing a sling, and her figure was faintly discernible. Her gaze was a little blurred, and with the charm of a young woman, not many men could resist.

“Damn it!” Lu Feng pushed her into the room and closed the door as he cursed.

When he got home, he slammed the door shut. Today was the first time Jiang Xiaoyan had seen him so angry. The fear in her heart had been awakened, and she looked at Lu Feng in fear.

“Don’t believe the nonsense outside. You just need to listen to me, okay?” Lu Feng stared at her and said word by word, “I won’t lie to you. I saw that you were pitiful, so I stayed behind. Even if it’s a divorce, I have to let you leave with the money you’ve earned but never spent, understand?”

Jiang Xiaoyan acted as she understood but didn’t. She widened her eyes and nodded. She just felt that he was good to her; that kind of good was like pity!

Lu Feng did not want to say anything more and just lay on the bed.

The workers were on two shifts, and the machines were running day and night. Workers cooked fruits on stove, and cars were dragging cans to the countryside, where roads were problematic.

An unknown type of canned food quickly became popular in rural areas. Compared to the canned food in the supply and marketing cooperatives, it was cheaper and more readily available.

Even if you cannot finish it in one meal, you can still save it. Who knew there would be such a convenient thing?

The assembly line was like a money printer; the machine spun crazily as food flew into the cans.

This simple business model and huge profits were unimaginable forty years ago.

More and more people came to know about canning factory. Anyone with a car wanted to work. Zhou Hao maintained an absolute advantage as the first person to eat melon1.

Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin felt that something was not right. Did he not say that he could play a random game to fool his old man? The current situation was huge, and the profits were simply eye-catching.

It was three o’clock in the afternoon when Lu Feng woke up. The house was squeaky clean. He folded the cleaned clothes on the bed and placed food on the table. 

He then heated the food left by Jiang Xiaoyan in a paper takeout bag.

Lu Feng had started his business by eating takeout food in his previous life. Looking at the note left by Jiang Xiaoyan, he had an indescribable feeling. It feels good when someone is concerned for you.

After eating, they headed straight to the workshop. The scene was bustling with activity. Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin stood beside Datou.

“Alright, Daotu, you’re acting like a dog now!”

“Follow your Brother Feng to eat meat, right? You can handle anyone for him now.”

“Brother Feng takes care of them.” Datou saw Lu Feng and said, “Brother Feng is here.”

Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin looked at each other and walked towards Lu Feng.

“Brother Feng, I bought the motorcycle! It’s 80 horsepower, It-it’s great! It cost $1,800!” Datou happily pointed at the motorcycle not far away.

Lu Feng nodded and turned to face the two.

Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin exchanged a few polite words.

“Brother Feng, your business has gotten bigger. I’ve been having dinner with my brothers these past two days.” Sun Longbin pointed.

Sun Longbin said, “Brother Feng, your business is hot. Your old man should be satisfied; what about My father’s matter?” Zhou Jianguo complained.

“I’m busy. Don’t worry. I remember our friendship!” Lu Feng placed the bag under his arm and continued, “My old man isn’t in our city. He’s in the province. It’s only been a few days since opening, and I have to stabilize this place. Then I would go to the province and tell him that everything was manageable. Have you given me all the fruits and money?”

“Yes, I did. My father was still worried. I told him that Brother Feng is a big shot, so he can’t back out.”

Zhou Jianguo looked at his house and thought to himself, “If the business is so hot, I’ll charge you some rent. There shouldn’t be a problem.” He said, “Brother Feng, there’s still machinery in this house.”

“Aiya!” Lu Feng turned around and shouted at Zhou Hao. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s talk about it in a few days. I’m busy, but don’t worry. This Brother Feng will not maltreat you. I’ll treat you two to a drink another day, the most expensive one. See you later!”

The two of them stood there and gazed for a while before they went back.

Noon: during lunch, Datou whispered to Lu Feng, “Brother Feng, with this business, it’s hard not to get rich. If I am not wrong, eight or nine thousand a day, 250 thousand a month, and three million dollars a year!”

“It’s not that easy. There’s the competition to be considered in business. You can’t count it like that. It will be funny if I can even do this kind of business for a month, not considering seasonal fruit restrictions. This business is popular, and many are jealous of it. There’s no balance in business. There are only two options: grow or fall!”

“If a company keeps its balance for a long time, it will touch the Anti-monopoly Law. Do you understand?”

Datou scratched his head; he could not understand Lu Feng’s words but felt that his Brother Feng was powerful. He was not a simple person.

I’ll just follow Brother Feng. My father told me that I’m a bear and Brother Feng is a hero. Let me follow Brother Feng.‘Datou smiled honestly.

“I won’t ever mistreat you!” After Lu Feng finished his meal, he picked up his account book and examined it. There was already a profit of 30 thousand dollars till now. The only thing he did not include was the 5000 dollars from the packaging machine. It had everything else.

Lu Feng turned his head to look at the busy workshop and thought to himself, Ren Qianbo, give me another ten days to play with you. I’m afraid you’re not a match for me.
