Fire!
Zhengming Grocery Store,
When Zhang Zheng and Niu Defu were on the phone, Tao Zi heard their conversation very clearly.
After seeing the two of them hang up the phone, Taozi went forward anxiously and asked," Zhengzi, what's going on? I heard that you were reported by Cheng Jianjun?”
Zhang Zheng had just hung up the phone, and he was still thinking about how to deal with Cheng Jianjun. He had already openly contacted him. If he didn't react, others would think that he had admitted defeat.
After being asked by Tao Zi, Zhang Zheng came back to his senses and nodded casually.
"Really?" Tao Zi seemed to still be in disbelief. When he received Zhang Zheng's affirmative answer again, he immediately stood up and shouted angrily,
"Cheng Jianjun is too f * cking despicable. I…I'll go find him now!”
"Come back!" Seeing this, Zhang Zheng quickly pulled him back and said in a deep voice," Why are you looking for him? Are you going to beat him up to vent your anger?”
After spending some time together, Zhang Zheng understood that Tao Zi was an impulsive and angry person. He only knew how to solve problems with his fists. Once his temper flared up, he could not care about anything else.
Taozi's forehead was wrinkled from anger. His tone was extremely angry.
"Shouldn't he? Cheng Jianjun is too despicable. As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial path is like killing his parents.”
Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked sternly," Can hitting someone solve the problem? What if Cheng Jianjun reports you to the police?”
He had to think of a way to kill a villain like Cheng Jianjun. Otherwise, he might bite back.
Therefore, if Tao Zi went over to beat him up rashly, not only would it not solve the problem, but it was also likely that he would get himself involved.
"Me, me." Tao Zi stammered and was at a loss for words. Then, he swung his arm." We can't just let it go like that, right?"”
Seeing that Tao Zi had calmed down a little, Zhang Zheng's tone softened a little." Cheng Jianjun cut off our source of income. Of course, I won't let it go easily. As for how to deal with him, we still need to think about it carefully.”
"We have to teach him a good lesson. After what he did, can our grocery store continue to operate in the future?”Taozi's anger had yet to dissipate, and his face was filled with hatred.
Zhang Zheng thought for a moment and said," We can still continue to operate, but with the additional transportation costs, our profits will be diluted. It seems that it's time to open up a new source of income.”
"Open up a new source of income? What source of income?”When Tao Zi heard this, he instantly became excited.
"You and Cai Xiaoli must have made a lot of money during this period of time. I think the two of you can open a restaurant together!”Zhang Zheng pondered for a moment and proposed his own idea.
The people of this era did not have as rich a material and cultural life as the later generations. If they wanted to make money, they had to start from four aspects: food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
"What about you and Chunming? Aren't you two going to work with us?”Taozi was quite happy at first, but he felt that something was wrong later on. Zhang Zheng mentioned him and Cai Xiaoli.
Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes when he heard that and replied unhappily,
"Are you stupid? During this period of time, you've been asking about Cai Xiaoli's well-being all day long. Even a fool can see through your thoughts. Now, I'm giving you a chance to be alone with her.”
"Brother, you will be my…my brother from now on.”Tao Zi had a flattering smile on his face as he poured a glass of water for Zhang Zheng.
However, his face quickly drooped again. He said to Zhang Zheng with some loneliness,
"Brother Zhengzi, since you can see it, I won't hide it from you. I'm indeed chasing Cai Xiaoli, but she seems to have a soft spot for Han Chunming and doesn't care about me at all.
I know you have good intentions and want to set us up, but with Han Chunming around, I don't think I have a chance at all.”
Zhang Zheng watched as Taozi's expression turned from sunny to cloudy in a second. He touched his chin and thought for a while. Then, he patted Taozi's shoulder and said sincerely,
"Taozi, those who are involved in this matter are confused, but those who are not involved see clearly. I don't think the problem is with Han Chunming, but with you. How about this? I'll give you a few moves, and I guarantee that you'll be able to woo Cai Xiaoli.”
In Zhang Zheng's opinion, Tao Zi's methods of wooing Cai Xiaoli were too low-level. Every day, his mind was filled with thoughts of giving her gifts and how to please him. This was a typical bootlicker mentality.
The saying that a bootlicker couldn't get a house was still applicable today, regardless of the age.
When Tao Zi heard this, although he didn't say anything, the anticipation in his eyes revealed his true feelings.
After organizing his words, Zhang Zheng said seriously," Taozi, I don't know if you've read a book called 'Unsheathed Sword'.”
"Draw your sword?" Tao Zi recalled carefully and shook his head randomly." I haven't seen it."”
"It doesn't matter if you haven't read it. The key is that the spirit contained in this book is worth learning, especially for you.”
" That's right. This book was only published in 2001. It would be weird if you had read it," Zhang Zhengxin thought.
"What spirit?" Taozi pricked up his ears and listened attentively to Zhang Zheng's teachings.
"Cough cough!" Zhang Zheng cleared his throat and shouted in an excited tone," The first type is the courage to draw your sword!”
" As for the second possibility, in the middle of the book, when the protagonist Li Yunlong attacked Ping 'an County, he shouted two slogans:
Fire! Open fire!"
"Taozi, you take a good look at it. When you've comprehended it, you and Cai Xiaoli will have a happy ending.”
After saying that, Zhang Zheng patted Tao Zi's shoulder with a look of self-respect. Then, he hummed a tune and strolled home.
