Return To 1990

You are Threatening Me?

The kicked door echoed an intense sound. Accompanied by the noise outside, Jiang Xiaoyan was shocked. Lu Feng hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid!”

“Who is it? Who went crazy in the middle of the night and kicked my door!” Lu Feng shouted.

“Lu Feng! If you have the guts, come out! I won’t beat you to death!” Wu Hongyu’s voice sounded from outside the door.

Following that, seven or eight people started clamoring. Hearing the sounds of crashing sticks, it is evident that they were at a loss for words. Lu Feng immediately recalled Ren Qianbo’s last statement to him and understood the circumstances.

“Wu Hongyu, are you crazy!?” Jiang Xiaoyan cursed.

Lu Feng swiftly pulled her aside. The current Wu Hongyu was leaning against Ren Qianbo and could do anything.

“This is harassment.” Jiang Xiaoyan muttered.

“It’s fine. Don’t bother. You’ve fallen asleep more often. Go lie down on my bed.” Lu Feng whispered.

“Yes!”

The noise outside the door had already attracted the attention of many of the neighbors. Li Da Fang brought a chair and sat near the door, eating melon seeds. Her mood was ineffably good.

The door was a wooden one, but it was not very sturdy. It was easy for seven or eight burly men to kick it open. Wu Hongyu knew that he could do it all at once.

After kicking a few times, he took out a stick and smashed the door. After cursing for a while, he went back.

It was late at night, and the room was dry and warm. The bed was not huge; sleeping on it alone provided enough space but the two of them on one bed proved to be a bit suffocating. Jiang Xiaoyan curled up into a ball; although they were usually together, they were so close right now that it made her feel like she was a rabbit.

“Wu Hongyu must be crazy. I’ve recently discovered that the people in the building seem to have a problem with our family.” Jiang Xiaoyan complained.

“There’s been a lot going on lately, be careful. Don’t think so much; just go to sleep,” As Lu Feng spoke, he wrapped his arm around her waist to sleep.

Jiang Xiaoyan was startled by this sudden intimate action, and her body tensed up instantly. Her face turned red like a monkey’s butt. She did not dare move for a few minutes, afraid that he would mess around.

Only when she heard his slight snoring did her heart relax, she was slightly disappointed. She turned around and looked at Lu Feng; his face looked handsome in the dark.

The two of them went to sleep, face to face.

The same night, Datou informed the vendors about the new price. 

The following day, the sky was bright, and the workshop’s doors were filled with cars that came to pick up goods.

Jiang Xiaoyan opened her eyes and realized that Lu Feng was awake. Their eyes met, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She asked, “You woke up so early?”

“I have been awake for half an hour!” Lu Feng said shyly.

“Then why didn’t you get up?” Jiang Xiaoyan asked, confused.

“Looking at your beauty. Baby, if you’re going to participate in a beauty pageant, as long as there are no dirty tricks, you’ll be the champion.” Lu Feng said sincerely.

Baby?

To Jiang Xiaoyan, this name wasn’t just a dumb name. It made her scalp go numb.

“You!”You!! What are you calling me? Call me by my name!”

“Why are you blushing so early in the morning? You have a fever?”Lu Feng reached out to touch her forehead in confusion.

Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t handle it. She hesitantly got up and said, “Get up quickly. Don’t learn from those acts on television in the future. That kind of speech will make people laugh, understand?”

Lu Feng understood what had gone wrong. He lay on the bed and smiled. He thought to himself, “You’re so pure, but that’s true. At the beginning of 2000, if you called some dear or baby, they would feel nauseous. If you were to kiss or hug in public, it would be shocking.”

Not to mention now?

Lu Feng hadn’t seen a shy girl like Jiang Xiaoyan for who knows how many years. He got up and went to the kitchen to get his fill of teasing. He hugged her from behind.

He whispered in her ear, “Dear, you’re so beautiful!”

“You, you!” Jiang Xiaoyan was anxious and embarrassed beyond logic.

“Daddy, shame-shame!” Duo Duo got up and stared at the two of them, hugging.

“Aiya!” Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t take it. She pushed him away and said with an angry face, “What’s a grown man doing in the kitchen? Go get dressed!”

After dinner, Lu Feng opened the door and noticed it was filled with holes. He closed the door and went down the stairs. The neighbors he met along the way had mocking smiles.

It was as if they were saying, ‘looks like your good days are over!

Lu Feng arrived at the workshop on his motorcycle, and Datou ran over to him excitedly,” Brother Feng, all the inventory from yesterday is shipped! Zhou Jianguo just came here to ask if you’re here. He didn’t leave a message and left.”

“Was everything alright last night?” Lu Feng asked.

“It was fine. What’s wrong?”

“Last night, someone smashed my apartment door with a stick. Be careful; It’s an action-packed time!” Lu Feng sighed, lit a cigarette, and said, “It’s just the beginning. We don’t have all the tricks, but we won’t let them go easy.”

“It can’t be. There’s another big matter. Those small workshops are all closed.” Datou thought for a moment and said, “I heard that Wang Yao doesn’t do food anymore, so we’re the only ones left with WanYuan!”

Ren Qianbo indeed has some tricks up his sleeve. He had quietly taken care of the few workshops. Now that he is the only one left, he was unwilling to spend much time on it. It would be damaging for his profits.

“I don’t care how many people Wan Yuan draws tomorrow. We’ll give our vendors five cents!”

“Five cents?” Datou was shocked. Initially, the fruits were cheap, and the profits were high. Now, the prices of fruits in the local rural market have gone up. No matter how ugly it was, the gains were further reduced with labor.

“The profits have been very low these past few days.”

“As long as you have something to earn, play with him. Even if you earn one or two thousand a day, what else can you do that earns one or two thousand a day?” Lu Feng looked at Datou and said, “Don’t concentrate on creating a lot of profit for a few days. Profit isn’t the problem for now.”

It was the beginning of August. After September, the local fruits were basically gone. If Ren Qianbo wanted to earn money, it would depend on the next 20 days.

The past few days were crazy.

In the WanYuan Factory’s office, He Yanli was dressed very coquettishly. She said arrogantly to Zhou Jianguo and the others opposite her, “What’s the point in asking you guys? President Ren can handle this matter himself!”

Ren Qianbo looked at the folder on the table. Yesterday, the profit from simple canned food in the countryside was over 4,000. This was the result of the high draw. Lu Feng had the majority of the market share.

If he did it alone, it would be as if he was playing around with 10,000 dollars a day.

Such a colossal profit made his eyes turn red. He stood up and gave instructions before driving out.

At the workshop entrance, Lu Feng smoked a cigarette and chatted with a few vendors. Ren Qianbo drove over, got out of the car, and headed straight for Lu Feng.

“Boss Lu looks good. It looks like he had a good rest last night.”

“You have to sleep well to earn well; you’re sleeping soundly. I’m just afraid that someone will have a bad night’s sleep.” Lu Feng looked at him with a smile.

“Really? You want to play with me, right?” The smile on Ren Qianbo’s face disappeared. He pointed at Lu Feng and said,’ ‘Then I’ll play with you. When I’m serious, you won’t even be able to choke.”

“I’m so scared!” Lu Feng replied mockingly.

“If you want to stay alive, I advise you to close the door early.” Ren Qianbo snapped.

Lu Feng frowned and glared at him. “You’re threatening me?”

“We’ll know if it’s a threat.” Ren Qianbo shouted at his surroundings, “Go to WanYuan and sell out a can, each for five cents.”

“We will do six cents!” Lu Feng shouted.
