Checking the time and then glancing at the surveillance, it was clear that President Li was standing right at the store entrance.
Hua Xiaobei, clearly caught off guard, rushed over and bowed repeatedly in apology to President Li. "I didn't know you were coming, so I wasn't prepared at all. Zhou Zheng went on a trip yesterday, so we didn't open today."
Before leaving, I had deliberately pulled down the roll-up door; he still didn't know I had smashed up the store.
"We're here to discuss investment with Zhou Zheng. Since he's not here, let's reschedule for another day."
"Wait, wait! Don't leave just yet; let me explain. Zhou Zheng is an internet celebrity; he’s not genuinely running this store. Now that he’s gone, he won’t be back. He has handed the management over to me, so for any investment matters, you can come directly to me."
"Come to you? Do you know how to cut hair or manage a business?"
President Li's disdain was evident, but Hua Xiaobei seemed oblivious to it and continued with a forced smile. "My uncle is Ding Youtian. He said that from now on, I’m the golden signboard of Panhu Village. If you’re not talking to me about investment, who else will you talk to?"
President Li shook his head repeatedly and was about to get into his car when suddenly there was a screech of brakes, and Ding Youtian appeared from in front of the vehicle.
"Hey! Why are you leaving as soon as you arrive? I heard you were coming to invest, so I rushed over before finishing my work. Let’s sit down and talk."
"No need for that. I'm here specifically to find Zhou Zheng. As for investment, I only want to discuss it with him."
"Zhou Zheng has offended many people and has been driven away by me. It would be a waste of breath looking for him. As the village chief, I understand investment matters."
As Ding Youtian spoke, he gestured for Hua Xiaobei to open the shop door. But the moment the rolling shutter was pulled up, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Furious, Hua Xiaobei unleashed a torrent of curses, even going so far as to insult my ancestors for generations. The village chief's face was a vivid display of emotions, a mix of embarrassment and disbelief.
I watched this scene unfold on the surveillance monitor, unable to contain my laughter. I immediately called President Li and sent him the location of Qingshui Village.
Upon learning that I was in Qingshui Village, both Hua Xiaobei and Ding Youtian's faces twisted in anger.
But no matter how furious they were now, they couldn't hurt me anymore.
That evening, I brought President Li and his team to meet Village Head Zhang.
Village Head Zhang and President Li were old acquaintances; two years ago, a project in Qingshui Village had been funded by Li Group.
Their reunion was particularly warm, making discussions about the new project go smoothly.
Knowing that I had suffered some grievances in Panhu Village, President Li took the initiative to invite me to dinner after finishing business: "I warned you to be cautious from the start. You taught them your skills and promoted the village, yet in the end, you gained nothing."
I lowered my head, unable to find the words, only managing a bitter smile.
Village Head Zhang chimed in to comfort me: "Those who do evil will ultimately harm themselves. Don't be fooled by their current success; trust me, they won't last long."
As soon as Village Head Zhang finished speaking, Hua Xiaobei burst into Qingshui Village with a group of people.
They all looked fierce and menacing, brandishing weapons in their hands.
Hua Xiaobei shouted loudly in the village, "You son of a bitch, Zhou Zheng! Get out here! If you're a man, don't act like a coward!"
I was seething with anger and couldn't hold back any longer. I dashed in front of him and without saying a word, slapped him twice across the face!
Hua Xiaobei was momentarily stunned by the blows. After a brief moment of clarity, he grabbed a steel pipe and swung it at my head.
Village Head Zhang immediately stepped in front of me, saying, "Hua Xiaobei, fighting in groups is against the law. If you dare to lay a hand on him, I'll call the police right now!"
"Get out of the way! This has nothing to do with you. This is a personal grudge between our village and him. I'm going to make him pay today!"
I rolled up my sleeves and gave him another two slaps. "You son of a bitch! You stole my shop and set me up to force me out. What else do you want?!"
