“Then, President Yang, do you mean that I should thank Zhang Rong for not killing me as well?” Zhou Hao asked in surprise.
Obviously, Zhou Hao did not take Zhang Rong seriously. In other words, the conflict between the two had reached an irreconcilable point.
After hearing Zhou Hao’s words, Yang Feng and the other guests fell silent.
It was obvious from Zhou Hao’s attitude that he was not thinking of properly resolving the problem.
Zhou Hao then let out a long sigh and looked around before speaking, “President Yang, you can talk about the next step of development. You can deal with Chu Ning or the market. As for Zhang Rong, let’s put this matter on hold for the time being. It’s my issue regarding how to deal with him; let’s now plan for a general aim.”
There was no way he would let Zhang Rong off. The other party should have similar thoughts as him.
Yang Feng, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly said, “Zhou Hao, I think you should calm down. Don’t think about how to take revenge on Zhang Rong. This will affect your judgment.”
“President Yang, that’s impossible. There’s no room for negotiation on this matter. I don’t care who’s behind him.” Zhou Hao looked at Yang Feng with a burning gaze, emphasizing each word.
At this, Yang Feng could only shake his head helplessly. Zhou Hao had made things painfully clear. He had originally thought that he could subsequently invite the two of them to eat at the same table. Now, it seemed that if he really did that, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Among the guests invited by Yang Feng, one of them looked at Zhou Hao unhappily and said, “Mr. Zhou, if this is your stance, then there’s no way for us to discuss our future collaboration.”
If Yang Feng hadn’t told him that Zhou Hao had something as good as Cloud Shopping, he wouldn’t have bothered with Zhou Hao. After all, Zhou Hao was only in his twenties. In his eyes, he was still a child.
“Get lost! You old fogey, who gave you the courage to teach me how to do things? Why are you putting on an act in front of me? One more word of nonsense and I will kill your entire family!” Zhou Hao savagely gave the guest who spoke a once-over and directly berated him without any scruples.
Zhou Hao could remain respectful to Yang Feng, but that didn’t mean that the others there could blame him.
“Zhou Hao, isn’t it wrong for you to say that? What kind of occasion is this?” another guest said with an ugly expression.
He did not know how Yang Feng had found such a fiend.
“Serves you right! Should have let Zhang Rong deal with you!” the guest thought furiously.
“You shut up too. When I’m talking, less of your nonsense,” Zhou Hao said contemptuously.
“This…” Seeing how unyielding Zhou Hao was, the guests could only look at Yang Feng, who was sitting in the main seat.
“Enough.” Yang Feng slammed the table heavily and continued, “Don’t make a fuss, Zhou Hao. You hold your tongue as well.”
After hearing Yang Feng’s words, Zhou Hao snorted coldly. If he didn’t need to continue developing in M City, he wouldn’t have bothered to collaborate with these people.
“Zhou Hao, why are you thinking of stealing business from Xingmao wholesale market in Pingkou District?” Yang Feng asked.
He didn’t quite understand what Zhou Hao was doing.
Xingmao wholesale market had high human traffic and an excellent location. The things inside were inexpensive, hence they were very popular.
However, the crux of the problem was that this was Zhang Rong’s property.
On the surface, Xingmao wholesale market sold daily necessities, but it was actually under Zhang Rong’s control. The daily transaction volume was a huge figure.
At the same time, it was also a good place to launder money.
Through the Xingmao wholesale market, some funds of unknown origins had been used to transact goods through several hands, going from illegal to legal. Now, Zhou Hao was actually thinking of competing for the business of the Xingmao wholesale market. This was tantamount to courting death.
Of course, this was Yang Feng’s opinion, but Zhou Hao himself did not think so.
“It was very important to me, so I went to do it. Everyone relies on their own means to do business. Of course, I might have robbed him of his source of income, but he shouldn’t have reacted so strongly,” Zhou Hao said casually.
Zhou Hao did not realize that his actions had been deliberately guided by someone.
Zhou Wei had said that he would help Chu Ning deal with Zhou Hao, but his methods were very obscure. Now, some of the foreshadowing and traps he had secretly set up were slowly unfolding, waiting for Zhou Hao to step on them.
