After turning his head, Fang Wencai's eyes lit up!

Because he saw the chubby Zhu Tou and Feng Lin coming this way...

Knowing that Zhu Tou was the cash cow of the Chamber, Fang Wencai quickly went up to meet them...

"Chairman Zhu, hello!"

Hearing Fang Wencai greet him, the fatty Zhu Tou, shaking slightly, spoke up, "Chairman Fang, Hu Xiaobei was really out of line just now, making you angry. I hope you won't take it to heart!"

"Rest assured, as the head of the Chamber, I naturally have a thick skin."

"That's good!"

"Um! Chairman Zhu, do you need me for something now?"

Casting a glance at Fang Wencai, Zhu Tou straightforwardly said, "Chairman Fang, let's not beat around the bush, this time, I want to be the first in the exhibition ranking."

"Hm? The competition hasn't even started yet! I haven't tasted the fruits and vegetables from each of you yet; you're asking me to give you first place directly, that doesn't seem appropriate."

Fang Wencai faintly frowned…

Every year's exhibition included a segment where they taste and decide the ranking of the fruit and vegetable brands owned by various merchants…

The ranking was very important.

So every year, many people wanted to be first, and Zhu Tou was no exception.

Hearing Fang Wencai's words, Zhu Tou smiled and said, "I of course know it's a bit inappropriate, but Chairman Fang, as you are aware, this year I have improved the 'Brand Zhu'. Also, there aren't really any formidable opponents this year, right!"

Hearing this, Fang Wencai thought for a moment and slightly nodded!

He knew that other fruit and vegetable merchants' produce were indeed much inferior to 'Brand Zhu'.

Seeing Fang Wencai nod, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, he quickly said, "Let's decide now then!"

"No, deciding directly now doesn't feel right; we still should go through the motions later!"

"Damn, this Fang Wenshan is really a man who won't act until he sees benefit!"

After cursing Fang Wencai internally, Zhu Tou quickly leaned closer to Fang Wencai, "Chairman Fang, I heard recently a decent club opened up in the eastern part of our city, and I specially got a high-tier membership card. But recently, I've been so busy I had no time to go!"

"High-tier membership card?"

"Yes, I recharged it with one hundred thousand yuan a while back! It seems a shame not to use it."

"Indeed, indeed! It would really be a shame not to use it! Well! I'm not so busy recently; maybe I should go instead?"

"What a lecher, he took the bait so easily!"

With that sarcastic thought, Zhu Tou spoke, "Chairman Fang, if you'd like to go, that would be great! By the way, what do you think about what we discussed just now?"

"Well! I've thought it through carefully and feel that what you said makes sense! Your 'Brand Zhu' simply has no competition! Therefore, it really is a waste of time to taste the others. I'll just announce you as first in a little while."

"Hm! Chairman Fang really considers my perspective!"

Chuckling, Zhu Tou satisfyingly handed over the membership card he had prepared earlier.

"As it should be, as it should be."

Speaking quickly, Fang Wencai felt the membership card he just received.

Soon, his face broke into a brilliant smile...

…

At the exhibition area, Ling Keke walked up to Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, in a moment, the people from the Fruit and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce will start tasting the fruits and vegetables from each vendor and then rank them! Aren't you worried at all?"

"Worried? Why should I be worried?"

"Because the judges this time are the people from the Chamber. If they deliberately trip you up during the tasting, it could really be an ugly scene."

"They shouldn't be so shameless! After all, being judges, they must ensure fairness first."

Hu Xiaobei slightly frowned!

He knew that Fang Wencai and others likely had biases against him.

Yet even so, they couldn't possibly lie outright, as that would be utterly contemptible...

"But you never know with these people..."

Ling Keke hadn't finished speaking when Fang Wencai and the others took the stage at the front.

After catching everyone's attention, Fang Wencai began to speak: "Welcome everyone to this exhibition! As you all know, this exhibition is to rank the major fruit and vegetable brands, which will facilitate your choices for future purchases! Regarding the ranking, it has already been decided, and first place goes to 'Brand Zhu'."

"Ranking decided already?"

Hearing Fang Wencai's speech, every merchant present was momentarily stunned!

According to the procedure, the four judges needed to taste and discuss thoroughly before issuing a ranking.

But now, they had skipped that stage...

Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Fang Wencai continued, "I know you are surprised we skipped the tasting segment, but actually, it's quite reasonable."

At this point, he glanced at Zhu Tou and said softly, "Last year, Chairman Zhu's 'Brand Zhu' was already very prestigious. Now, it has been well improved again by Zhu Tou. Under these circumstances, you really can't compete, so it's pointless to waste time tasting."

"This makes sense!"

Hearing Fang Wencai's words, they all lightly nodded!

They knew their produce was indeed far inferior to Zhu Tou's 'Brand Zhu'.

"Since you all have no objections, then I will start the announcement now!"

With that said, he mockingly took out a piece of paper, preparing to start reading...

…

"Previously I really overestimated their integrity, I didn't expect they could stoop to any disgusting tactics!"

Hu Xiaobei, expressionless, spoke coldly as he walked out...

Hu Xiaobei was irritated!

Because they hadn't tasted yet and had already issued the so-called ranking...

"Wow, this idiot actually dares to step forward!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei expressionless and standing forward, Feng Lin who was cracking sunflower seeds sneered repeatedly!

In his view, Hu Xiaobei should just keep quiet as that would be best for him!

Yet now, this guy had no self-awareness and stood up...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know Feng Lin's thoughts; Hu Xiaobei, looking at Fang Wencai on the stage, spoke softly, "Chairman Fang, you haven't tasted my fruits yet and you're already announcing the rankings; isn't that a bit unfair to me?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's accusation, Fang Wencai frowned unhappily, "Unfair? I find it very fair. After all, your so-called 'Xiaobei Brand' really isn't qualified to compare with 'Brand Zhu'! Announcing the results now just saves you from being humiliated. You should be thankful!"
