When Hu Xiaobei coldly questioned him, everyone present stared coldly at Zheng Cun.

After listening to Hu Xiaobei's account, they all thought that Zheng Cun was a greedy ingrate.

Enraged and humiliated by Hu Xiaobei's probing questions, Zheng Cun snapped, "You ask me on what basis? It's because of my exceptional personal abilities. Without my strong capabilities, would your crappy Xiaobei Brand have taken off so quickly in Sanfeng City? Do you really think you are a Heavenly God descending to Earth? Do you really believe your Xiaobei Brand is invincible?"

Hearing Zheng Cun's nonsensical retorts, Hu Xiaobei had not even spoken when the onlookers could not hold back anymore.

"You, have you no shame?"

"Yeah! What about your extraordinary personal abilities? We already knew about Master Xiaobei's Xiaobei Brand before you came here!"

"Exactly! Xiaobei Brand's success has nothing to do with you, so stop giving yourself credit!"

These blunt revelations from the crowd made Zheng Cun's eyelids twitch violently, and soon enough, he shouted hysterically, "You... all of you, shut up! I'm the one speaking, do any of you trash have the right to interrupt?"

Having said that, Zheng Cun turned to Hu Xiaobei and said coldly, "Anyway, the fact that your Xiaobei Brand is making it big in Sanfeng City is all thanks to me! So, it was only right when I previously asked for half."

Seeing his righteous demeanor, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "So, you mean that I should have instantly handed over that half without hesitation?"

"Exactly! But it's too late now! Since our negotiations broke down, let's make this clear now!"

With that said, Zheng Cun stood up from the ground, brushed off the dirt from his clothes, and said with a smug look on his face, "Apologize to me nicely right now, and I'll pretend nothing happened! If you don't apologize properly, I guarantee your Xiaobei Brand won't be able to establish itself in Sanfeng City!"

"That's right! Hurry up and apologize. Without my husband, you're nothing in Sanfeng City!"

"Yeah, you really think too highly of yourself!"

Seeing that Zheng Cun and Hu Xiaobei had laid it all out, Qi Xiaolu and her brother, his face still swollen from being hit, quickly chimed in.

"Apologize? Are you even worthy?"

With a cold laugh, Hu Xiaobei stepped forward and kicked him down...

Nicely done!

Seeing Zheng Cun lying face down in the dirt again, everyone watching felt relieved...

However, they thought Hu Xiaobei was being too impulsive to confront Zheng Cun so directly...

A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant!

In their view, Hu Xiaobei had just arrived and was not fully aware of the situation. He should have first steadied the opposing side and waited for the right moment to break off.

But Hu Xiaobei didn't do this, making his position somewhat passive...

While everyone was worried for Hu Xiaobei, Zheng Cun, now knocked down by Hu Xiaobei, growled bitterly, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Hu Xiaobei, you dare to lay hands on me, it looks like you really want to arm-wrestle with me! Just you wait, by tomorrow at the latest, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy! You just wait!"

After dropping such a scene-setting line, Zheng Cun ran off, tumbling and scrambling.

Qi Xiaolu saw Zheng Cun running away and quickly followed him...

"Arm-wrestling? Are you even worthy?"

Watching him flee in disgrace, Hu Xiaobei scoffed coldly...

...

"Master Xiaobei, actually, you really shouldn't have fallen out with him just now."

Hearing the persuasive voice next to him, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and saw an elder he had previously talked with.

Remembering that he had helped him before, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Old sir, just call me Xiaobei."

The elder quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I should call you Master Xiaobei as I am a fan of yours! I've tried the vegetables and fruits you've grown, and my spouse and I can't stop thinking about them every day."

Seeing his somewhat yearning look as he spoke, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Haha, as long as you like it, I'll supply it to you for free."

"Master Xiaobei, free is not necessary; I have my pension! But let's get back to the point, you really shouldn't have fallen out with that Zheng Cun just now. He does have some influence in Sanfeng City, so he will definitely make trouble for you."

Hu Xiaobei, hearing his concerned remarks, waved his hand dismissively, "Haha! Don't worry! I'm not concerned about such trivial people."

Relieved to see that Hu Xiaobei genuinely wasn't concerned, the elder breathed easier, "As long as you're not worried, that's great! Honestly, I don't want such trash to ruin the atmosphere of our Sanfeng City, so I hope you can drive him out soon!"

"Don't worry, I'll make him leave soon!"

"Good! That's great!"

...

While Hu Xiaobei was chatting with him, Zheng Cun and the others, who had awkwardly left earlier, were already in the car...

At that moment, they all looked upset, especially Zheng Cun...

Qi Xiaolu glanced at Zheng Cun and initiated, "Honey, since things have already reached this point, just let it go. It's bad for your health."

"Yes, brother-in-law! Don't be angry anymore! It's not worth it!"

Hearing the fat man's words, Zheng Cun said coldly, "Shut up! Isn't it all because of you?"

"I..."

"Brother, your brother-in-law is not in a good mood now; just shut up for now!"

"Yes!"

Hearing that Qi Xiaolu wouldn't let him speak, he rubbed his nose and said nothing more...

At this moment, he was truly annoyed...

Because he knew that none of this was his fault!

But now, he still had to take the blame.

Seeing his younger brother say nothing further, Qi Xiaolu quickly spoke, "Husband, our godfather told you before to be ruthless and swallow up all of Hu Xiaobei's assets, but you thought it was too cruel at the time. Now, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"Now? Now, of course, I agree, but Hu Xiaobei definitely won't."

"He won't agree? Why should we seek his opinion? This is Sanfeng City, where our godfather's power is the strongest."

Hearing such confident remarks, Zheng Cun thought for a moment, his eyes lighting up, "That's right, since we've already broken with him, let's destroy him completely."

"Husband, you're thinking correctly, 'no venom, no husband!'"

"Yes! 'No venom, no husband!'"

After sneering coldly, Zheng Cun drove straight to his godfather's place...

"It seems that it's not really a shortage, but that they are deliberately creating a supply scarcity!"

In the storage room behind the fruit and vegetable shop, Hu Xiaobei looked at the abundant vegetables and fruits, sneering...

Hu Xiaobei knew that these fresh vegetables and fruits had just been transported here by his logistics truck; logically, they should have been put on sale immediately.

But Zheng Cun had not done so; instead, he stored them here with a simple motive—to hike the prices, to add intermediaries, to cook the books.

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei heard footsteps, turned his head, and saw around a dozen people standing outside...

"Who are you?"

"Master Xiaobei, we are employees who originally came here with Zheng Cun."

"Oh, where had you gone before? Why haven't I seen you?"

"We discovered Zheng Cun's fraud earlier and wanted to report him! He drove us away, and now that we've heard you're back, we came to see."

"Is that so! Do you still want to work here?"

"Yes! Master Xiaobei, of course, we do!"

Feeling their heartfelt eagerness, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Then let's start anew! First, move all these fruits and vegetables out and begin selling them again."

"Yes! We will work hard!"

They agreed quickly and began working excitedly.

At this moment, they were all as if injected with an adrenaline shot.

Watching them work so industriously, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Soon after, Hu Xiaobei's phone rang.

He picked it up lazily and answered.

After that, Hu Xiaobei heard a concerned voice, "Xiaobei, have you arrived in Sanfeng City yet? Is everything going smoothly?"

Hearing the worried tone, Hu Xiaobei could guess that Meiyu on the other end was probably frowning nervously, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! Everything is under control."

"That's good! By the way, you little bastard, you ran off secretly before. Was it so hard to inform me?"

Hearing Meiyu question him directly, Hu Xiaobei quickly responded, "Sister-in-law, you can't blame me! You were sleeping so soundly at the time; I just couldn't bear to wake you."

"Hmph, it's all excuses! You were just worried I'd stop you!"

Hearing the annoyed voice, Hu Xiaobei responded playfully, "Hehe! Sister-in-law knows me best!"

"Of course, I know you! Well, stop joking around! Be careful over there, got it?"

"Yep! I know! I'll be careful!"

"Great! By the way, Xiaobei, I wanted to tell you that the people in our other city branches are aware of your trip to Sanfeng City. So if possible, try to handle things there beautifully; otherwise, we might have more issues like this in the future."

"Don't worry! This time, I'll handle everything properly!"

"Then, that's all."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Hu Xiaobei gazed into the distance...

Hu Xiaobei had known earlier that many people would pay attention to the situation here, so he had always wanted to handle things perfectly...

While Hu Xiaobei pondered this, Zheng Cun and the others who had left earlier had arrived outside a quiet courtyard...
