“Whoa! Ho ho ho! Who do we have here? Isn’t this young master Nie? What, back from the Soviet Union?” Zhou Chen made some snide comments. Yang Anbang looked calm, as if he didn’t recognize him at all. Yang Anbang’s ambitions have always been in commerce, and it seems the Yang family’s current attitude tacitly approves of his choice.
Zhou Chen, however, again and again, first followed the trend and made a supermarket to steal business. But then, he conspired against Yang Anbang on the Wal-Mart automobile project. Now, this money is still held up. The buildings are under construction. But there’s no interest in global cooperation. Although, this money was provided by Nie Zhenbang. But the shares are controlled by Wal-Mart. This money, although it’s not currently on Yang Anbang’s shoulders, will eventually have to be paid back by the Wal-Mart supermarket. How could this not provoke Yang Anbang’s hatred?
This surely is a huge grudge. At this moment, upon seeing Zhou Chen again, Yang Anbang glanced briefly at him and then walked inside.
Xiao Yali at this moment was also glaring at Zhou Chen. Although, Zhou Chen acted very decisively, leaving no loopholes for Nie Zhenbang and his group. But this didn’t stop Xiao Yali from blowing her top.
“Zhou Xiaoshe, not bad. Dare to ruin my good schemes. I see, you must be itching all over from your stay in Chunan Province. Yearning to rebel, huh? We all know what you did last time, there’s no need to whitewash it. You just wait.
What goes around comes around, your judgment day is coming.” At this point, Xiao Yali walked up to Zhou Chen, brash and brawny as she had been with Yang Anbang in her past life.
Looking at Xiao Yali’s demeanor, Zhou Chen was completely unconcerned, ” Humph! Xiao’s girl, I don’t need you to point fingers at what I do. Did your father not teach you about the obedience women should have? A woman should not expose herself too much. It’s not appropriate. What goes around comes around? I’m curious to see what you can do to me? Are you going to rape me?
At this moment, Zhou Chen’s people all laughed. Yang Anbang came out again with a gloomy face,” Zhou Chen, you can try. Say it again.”
Nie Zhenbang also stood up at this time, smiling, he stopped Yang Anbang,
“Second Brother, let it go. It’s just a small matter, it’s not worth it, don’t let it upset you and Second Sister. Let’s go in.”
Despite Yang Anbang’s business career, he has always been very easygoing. But that’s just Yang Anbang following the principle of harmony brings wealth. Anyone who has made a name for themselves in Jingcheng’s stubborn circles like him is certainly no pushover. He was quite a figure back in the day.
At this point, Zhou Chen could never be intimidated. If so, the consequence is that both sides would start fighting, then, I too would lend a hand. Ultimately, Zhou Chen would end up in the hospital, that’s all.
However, it’s not the right time to fall out with Zhou Chen now. Looking at the current situation. As Comrade Xuri’s position in the center gradually stabilizes, conservative forces are gradually gaining the upper hand across the country. In some peripheral regions and some cities on the mainland, officials who support reform have been reassigned one after another. At this point, the reformist momentum has been significantly suppressed.
If I fall out with Zhou Chen now. It is bound to make the Zhou family have some thoughts. After all, there has been a conflict with Zhou Chen before. If there is another falling out this time, it will definitely affect the neutral faction’s stance. If something affects these younger generations before the head of state, before the main figures of the reformists speak up, that would be a big joke.
“Zhenbang, what do you mean by that? He’s persecuting your second sister!” Yang Anbang was somewhat surprised. Why is it that after a trip to the Soviet Union, Nie Zhenbang’s courage has diminished?
Next to him, Xiao Yali was also furious: “Third brother!”
But Nie Zhenbang was taciturn at the moment: “Second Brother, Second Sister, do you find this interesting? If we really beat him up, wouldn’t we be just playing into his hands? A dog bites you, you don’t bite back, right? Let it go. It’s just a small matter, why bother?”
His words were extremely sharp. In the future information age, such verbal abuse would be typical. But in this era, it is absolutely brilliant and unmatched.
Originally, Zhou Chen, who had been wearing a self-satisfied expression, immediately turned gloomy after hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, gazing intently at him. After hesitating for a while, ultimately, Zhou Chen didn’t have the guts to step forward. After all, the impression that Nie Zhenbang had made on him was too profound. That resounding slap, whose grudge he hadn’t yet avenged, had resulted in him being exiled.
Now, although his family has slightly relaxed their supervision over him, Zhou Chen didn’t dare to provoke Nie Zhenbang again.
“Brother Zhou. Don’t worry about it. He’s a famous Third Young Master; think of him as an almsgiver to a beggar, just let it go. Now that the Third Young Master is no longer a trafficker but a collector of scrap, can’t we be more generous?” A hoarse voice echoed as, at that moment, Ou Zheng walked over from a distance.
Nie Zhenbang glanced at him and saw that everyone who had had even the slightest disagreement with him in Jingcheng had come, gathered in an unprecedentedly complete force. He then laughed and said, “I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s Commissioner Ou’s son. A pleasure, indeed. I wonder, how is your wrist? Hopefully you didn’t fracture it again by accident.”
Ou Zheng’s expression changed and he replied disdainfully, “Nie Zhenbang, you are nothing but a crude brute. I won’t lower myself to your level. What do you think you are, merely a rag-and-bone man? What, thinking of switching to smelting steel? With your qualifications, you’re not up to it.”
“Master Ou, you don’t need to worry if I’m qualified or not. I’ve got money. What’s the matter? I can light my cigar with banknotes if I want! You think you can do it? Collecting junk, what’s wrong with that? If you have the ability, why don’t you do it? Moreover, what I have here is a treasure. What do you guys know? Babies who haven’t even grown a proper amount of hair.” If it comes to swearing, these people put together aren’t a match for Nie Zhenbang.
Why, it’s because information in this era is too scarce. Just take something from the internet in later ages, in this era, they’re all classic swearing phrases.
These people, compared to Nie Zhenbang in terms of foul language, are like illiterates compared to postgraduates. There’s absolutely no comparison.
The words that Nie Zhenbang just said almost made Zhou Chen and Ou Zheng choke. Arrogant! Too arrogant! This kid is overbearing, as if he doesn’t care about anyone.
Zhou Chen is Zhou Chen after all, although detestable. But, in the Jingcheng circle, he is a figure, much better than the waste that Ou Zheng is.
Soon, Zhou Chen caught a loophole in Nie Zhenbang’s words, and immediately sneered, “Treasure? Slapping gold on your own face? Even if you’re a clay idol, you won’t be able to put gold on it. Is it just AK? How many do you want? Tomorrow, I will get the Jinling Armory to produce a batch for you.”
Ou Zheng, at this moment, was finally able to react. He looked at Zhou Chen, extended his thumb, and also chimed in, “This can also qualify as a treasure? There are plenty of these treasures in Huaxia. If you need them, I’ll get the city’s military department to drag a few hundred thousand out from the scrap warehouse for you, Third Young Master. Anyone can puff themselves up beyond their means. If these are treasures, I, Ou Zheng, will kowtow three times to you and from then on, whenever I see you, Nie Zhenbang, in this city, I’ll take a detour.”
What Nie Zhenbang wanted was just the words from Ou Zheng. The time was not yet ripe to deal with Zhou Chen. However, there was absolutely no psychological burden to deal with Ou Zheng. He quickly responded, “Ou Zheng, these are your words. Everyone here heard them. As long as I can sell these munitions, you remember your promise.”
By the side, Zhou Chen, quick-eyed, spoke up as well, “Everyone knows that the words of Young Master Zheng are as good as gold. However, Nie Zhenbang, what if you lose?”
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang answered without hesitation, “If I lose, I’ll crawl around the city!”
