Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Petty-minded

```Little Rock burst into laughter and suddenly pulled out an automatic weapon from his body.

"Elder, today I will let you witness how far technology has advanced outside."

As he spoke, the dark muzzle was pressed against the elder's forehead.

Chen Yu was startled, his body flashed to Little Rock's side, and he grabbed the weapon, instantly dismantling it.

"These weapons may be advanced, but it also depends on who uses them. In your hands, they are simply a pile of scrap metal."

Little Rock's eyes widened in disbelief, having never imagined that someone in this world could disassemble an automatic weapon with their bare hands.

"What are you? This is an internal affair of our village. An outsider like you has no place interfering!"

Chen Yu didn't say much, simply stepping forward and lightly tapping Little Rock on the neck, knocking him out.

The few people who came with Little Rock rushed forward, trying to restrain Chen Yu, but they were far too slow.

Before they could lay a hand on him, Chen Yu had already knocked each of them out with a tap on the back of their heads.

The old chief looked at Little Rock lying on the ground, sighed helplessly, and then affectionately crouched down to stroke his cheek.

"Child, what's so good about the outside world that has bewitched you so much?"

Chen Yu didn't say anything more. After all, this was someone else's internal matter; he was merely here to purchase medicinal herbs.

After taking a large amount of herbs from here, Chen Yu left directly.

Suzhou City, Chu Tian Building.

Chu Jianghe sat in his office, his face grim.

"I hope you all understand, we are outsiders, and whatever we do, we have to pay almost twice as much as others, but I hope you can cut out those unnecessary expenses."

Chu Jianghe was very angry, holding a pile of bills in his hand, and slammed them hard on the table.

These bills recorded the expenses of the group's directors while they were out.

He had been quite frustrated lately, not only consistently outplayed by Tong Ming, but also preempted by others in his attempts to secure a building and a factory.

However, Suzhou City was a transport hub, a strategic commercial location for the Chu Family, and not something they could give up easily.

No matter the cost, they had to secure a place in Suzhou City.

A group of directors, scolded bloody, hung their heads, not daring to utter a word.

Suzhou City was known as a land of fish and rice since ancient times, so the climate here was very nurturing. These directors, coming from such a fast-paced city as the Magic Capital, naturally wanted to relax upon arriving in such a place.

But such unrestrained relaxation soon crossed Chu Jianghe's bottom line.

While Chu Jianghe was berating these executives, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and then Tong Ming walked in with several bodyguards striding confidently.

"Chu Jianghe, you're too insincere. Coming all the way from the Magic Capital to Suzhou City and not even giving me a heads-up so I could go out and welcome you."

Chu Jianghe's pupils dilated suddenly; he had not expected Tong Ming to show up like this.

Seething with anger, he grabbed the phone on the desk.

"What the hell are you all doing? Letting just anyone in, doesn't anyone check their identities?"

Tong Ming didn't care about that and casually dragged a stool over to sit down.

"Come on, Old Chu, you can't keep treating your staff like this, it's easy to provoke a rebellious spirit in them. If a few key people get together, who knows, they might swallow your company whole."

Chu Jianghe glared at Tong Ming with murderous eyes, "Tong, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you've already colluded with people from my company?"

Tong Ming was momentarily at a loss for words, this guy was really petty.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, I won't say more. I'm here today to discuss cooperation. Since both of our families are now in Suzhou City, I think we should stop the competition just like in other places. After all, this city's resources are limited, we have no other choice but to cooperate!"

The words were quite reasonable; for a rival to come over and propose cooperation was a significant concession. Read exclusive content at M-V-L

But to Chu Jianghe's ears, it was nothing but a blatant insult.

"Cooperate? How are we supposed to cooperate? You've already got control over all the resources in Suzhou City. If we cooperate, I'd be at a disadvantage, I'd even have to sip soup from your bowl! Tong Ming, it seems to me you've come just to humiliate me today."

Tong Ming sighed helplessly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"I heard you've set up a staff meal service at my son-in-law's place, that's a good start! I believe we can find common ground in other areas as well."

Suddenly, Chu Jianghe stood up, slammed his hand on the table, ready to explode, when Tong Ming stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"I hear your leg injury has been plaguing you for twenty years. How about this, let my son-in-law treat it? If he heals you, then let's bury the hatchet. What do you say?"

Chu Jianghe's body stiffened instantly; he had been a soldier in his youth and his leg had been injured in an explosion while on duty.

Because of this, he had to retire from the military and start a business instead.

He had previously sought out most of the world-renowned doctors, but none could heal his injured leg.

"I've met your son-in-law, and if you say he's a good cook, I'll agree. But to say he's a doctor, you're just making a fool out of me! Even if he really is a doctor, how much experience can such a young person have?"

Chu Jianghe had already seen Chen Yu's medical license, and in his opinion, it was just a qualification to practice medicine.

Tong Ming didn't say much else, just left his and Chen Yu's business cards behind.

"You old man are getting less and less gracious with age. Give me a call if you come around, or you can directly contact my son-in-law."

After dropping that remark, Tong Ming turned and left.

Chu Jianghe clenched his teeth so hard they almost broke, and as Tong Ming exited the door, he grabbed a cup from the desk and smashed it to the ground. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Still, he subconsciously collected the business cards from the table.

At this moment, Chen Yu had already returned to the factory with a batch of medicinal materials.

The previous material factory had already started production, but the output was not very high due to some of the old machinery being unusable.

After all, the medicinal materials Chen Yu had brought back were all precious high-performance herbs, and most of them were wild.

The machines they had on hand simply couldn't process them.
