After realizing he was going to remain in Sanfeng City, Gu Tong felt an overwhelming fear. "No, all my assets are in Sanfeng City, I absolutely can't leave in disgrace. I must go find Hu Xiaobei and beg for his forgiveness! As long as he can forgive me, then I can continue to make my way here!"

Thinking this, Gu Tong made a decision...

He quickly called out several times...

"Godfather, is something wrong?"

Prompted by Gu Tong's loud shouts, Zheng Cun quickly responded!

Glancing at Zheng Cun, Gu Tong solemnly said, "Yes! There indeed is something!"

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know soon!"

With that, Gu Tong quickly called over more people!

Soon, Gu Tong had them tie up Zheng Cun tightly.

Gu Tong knew that the trouble between him and Hu Xiaobei was all because of Zheng Cun.

So, Gu Tong decided to take Zheng Cun directly to Hu Xiaobei...

"Godfather, what... what does this mean?"

Zheng Cun, completely tied up, looked bewildered at Gu Tong.

He really didn't understand what Gu Tong meant...

Seeing the confused look on Zheng Cun's face, Gu Tong said coldly, "What does it mean? It's all because of your actions that I ended up confronting Master Bei, and now, I'm taking you with me to sincerely apologize to Hu Xiaobei."

"Godfather... you... you can't do this!"

"How I do it is none of your business! Get something to gag him!"

"Yes!"

They quickly agreed, grabbed a towel, and forcefully stuffed it into Zheng Cun's mouth...

...

Not far from Dong Tea House, in a park, Hu Xiaobei and Xu Yuan were strolling on a pebble path...

"Old man, I really have to thank you this time! If it weren't for you, I'd definitely still be squatting in that little dark room!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's grateful words, Xu Yuan waved his hand, "Xiaobei, you saved my life before, and now, I've helped you, so we're even!"

"Even? I was thinking of giving you some tea leaves as thanks, but since you've said we're even, I can save those tea leaves now!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention tea leaves, Xu Yuan got anxious, "Ah, I misspoke, we're not even, you still owe me some tea leaves!"

Seeing Xu Yuan anxious, Hu Xiaobei laughed, "Old man, you flip sides too quickly!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's tease, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, "It's your fault for mentioning tea leaves! In my life, anything else doesn't matter but tea leaves absolutely matter!"

"Alright! I know! From now on, your tea leaves are on me!"

"You kid, know how to handle things!"

Seeing Xu Yuan happily laughing, Hu Xiaobei continued to chat with him...

After half an hour, Hu Xiaobei and Xu Yuan parted ways...

By this time, the fact that Hu Xiaobei knew Zhou Xiyang was gradually spreading...

Everyone in Sanfeng City knew about Hu Xiaobei and that he was absolutely not someone to mess with...

...

"It seems like there's even more buzz around the store!"

On returning to the storefront, Hu Xiaobei, seeing the bustling crowd, smiled.

"Look, Master Bei is back!"

As someone spoke up, everyone turned their heads in unison toward Hu Xiaobei!

Noticing their excited gazes, Hu Xiaobei smiled. He knew they genuinely cared about him!

"It's time to give them something back!"

With that thought, Hu Xiaobei clapped his hands.

After drawing everyone's attention, he said, "Just now, I made you all worry! From now on, we are starting a promotion, for the next week, all Xiaobei Brand vegetables and fruits will be sold at 40% off!"

"Long live!"

Hearing about the discounts, everyone cheered excitedly...

After greeting everyone, Hu Xiaobei headed straight for the second floor.

Hu Xiaobei knew that when he was taken away earlier, Fang Xiaoxiao must have been very worried.

So he planned to go and let her know that he was back!

But just as he reached the second floor, Hu Xiaobei smelled a strong fruity scent!

"What's going on?"

Feeling slightly surprised, Hu Xiaobei quietly walked forward.

Soon, his mouth twitched.

This was because he saw Fang Xiaoxiao sitting in his office, happily arranging various fruits together and eating them with toothpicks...

"Darn it, I thought she was worried about me, but looking at her now, this foodie doesn't seem concerned at all!"

Rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked in.

As he approached, he found she hadn't noticed him at all.

"Truly a foodie, only eyes for delicious food!"

Rubbing his nose again, Hu Xiaobei gently coughed...

"Uh? Brother Xiaobei? You... you're back! I was so worried about you earlier!"

As she spoke, she quickly swallowed all the fruit in her mouth!

"Really? Worried about me?"

"Yes!"

"And what's with this fruit platter?"

"This... this I made especially for you!"

"Oh, being so nice to me!"

"Yes! I just finished making it, try it quickly!"

"Thank you!"

During their conversation, Hu Xiaobei picked up a piece...

"Mmm, it tastes good!"

"Yeah, dip it in some salad dressing, tastes even better! I was just dipping..."

She quickly covered her mouth!

"Heh heh, let it slip, didn't you? Didn't you say you made it for me?"

"I..."

"Alright, don't be nervous, brother was just kidding!"

Having said that, Hu Xiaobei was ready to eat a few more pieces when he suddenly heard rushing footsteps...

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw a staff member running towards him.

After he found out the reason from him, Hu Xiaobei came outside with an indifferent expression...

At the entrance, Hu Xiaobei saw Zheng Cun and Gu Tong.

Unlike their previous arrogance, they now had smiles plastered all over their faces.

Zheng Cun was even tied up tightly, kneeling on the ground.

"What does this mean? Are you here to apologize with a gift of penalties?"

On hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, Gu Tong, with a smile plastered on his face, directly knelt down, "Master Xiaobei, no friendship without a fight! Before, it was indeed my fault! I had listened to Zheng Cun's deceptive words, and now, I have brought him tied up, you may deal with him however you wish."

"You sure clean up your own mess pretty well!"

"I..."

"Alright, I have no interest in talking nonsense with you, now get lost!"

"Master Xiaobei, you must forgive me, all my stores have been shut down, I'm really having a rough time!"

"To perpetrate evil guarantees self-destruction, the closure of your stores is deserved. Now get lost!"

"I..."

Hearing Gu Tong still babbling, Hu Xiaobei's expression darkened, "What? Didn't you understand what I said?"

"Yes! I understand! Master Xiaobei, I'll leave immediately!"

With that, he quickly turned and departed.

After Gu Tong left, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the bound Zheng Cun!

Feeling his tension, Hu Xiaobei coldly said, "Don't worry, I won't go after you anymore, you better sort yourself out from now on!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei commanded, and soon, a few people carried him off and tossed him aside…

Regret!

Zheng Cun tossed aside was filled with regret!

But he knew that in this world there was no medicine for regret, so he could only silently turn and walk away…

...

"Sister, don't stay silent, talk to me properly. What exactly happened, tell me clearly!"

In a coffee shop in Sanfeng City, a woman dressed in a black form-fitting skirt was comforting the beautiful woman sitting opposite her, who appeared to be about the same age!

If Hu Xiaobei were here, he'd definitely recognize this woman in the black form-fitting skirt as the beautiful hostess Murong Qingqing...

Previously, with Hu Xiaobei's help, Murong Qingqing was transferred to Lake Heart City's television station, where she now stands as the top host...

Feeling Murong Qingqing's urgency, she flicked her hair lightly and said softly, "Qingqing sister, it's nothing, you don't come here often, later I'll take you around for some fun. Let's go later to..."

Hearing her change the subject, Murong Qingqing quickly interrupted her, "Sister, tell me clearly what happened, otherwise, I'll really get mad."

Today, Murong Qingqing came to this city in Lake Heart City to have fun with her...

But noticing her off mood, she wanted to ask what was actually going on, but she kept avoiding talking, which really made Murong Qingqing very anxious!

"This..."

"Don't you consider me your good sister anymore?"

"Of course, I consider you my sister! You took care of me back in school!"

Hearing this, Murong Qingqing asked again, "Then tell me what really happened!"

"Alright! It's like this, I was fired from the TV station."

"Fired? What exactly happened? Tell me more!"

"It's like this, the son of the Vice Station Director took a liking to me and wanted me to be his girlfriend, and I disagreed because I know he changes girlfriends as easily as he changes clothes."

"Just because you disagreed, they fired you?"

"Yeah, who do they think they are with such a powerful dad! By the way, I really need to congratulate you, you've firmly established yourself at the Lake Heart City TV station now!"

Hearing her congratulations, Murong Qingqing suddenly thought of Hu Xiaobei!

Murong Qingqing knew that her stable position in Lake Heart City was entirely due to Hu Xiaobei's influence.

Thinking of Hu Xiaobei's capabilities, she murmured to herself, "If Xiaobei were here now, he could definitely solve this problem. But unfortunately, he's not here now!"

With a sigh, Murong Qingqing suddenly heard excited voices from behind, "You guys don't know! Master Xiaobei is really awesome!"

"Master Xiaobei? Could that be Hu Xiaobei?"

Thinking this, Murong Qingqing quickly turned around and saw a young man vividly recounting...

Beside him were several older men sitting.

Hearing the enthusiastic recount, they curiously asked...

"You just keep mentioning Master Xiaobei, who exactly is this Master Xiaobei?"

"Exactly! We've never heard of him!"

"Yes, yes!"

The young man, hearing their inquiries, responded loudly, "You guys are really behind the times! Master Xiaobei is now the hottest figure in our Sanfeng City. Before this, Gu Tong offended him and ended up completely subdued by Hu Xiaobei! Now all his shops are shut down!"

"Gu Tong?"

"That's impossible!"

"Yes indeed, Gu Tong is a big deal in our Sanfeng City, with enough clout to shake things up!"

Seeing their disbelief, the young man raised his voice, "How could it not be possible? Before this, Gu Tong even went to beg Master Xiaobei, but Master Xiaobei didn't care and just drove him away!"

"He's that capable? Who exactly is this Master Xiaobei?"

"Exactly! Don't leave us hanging!"

"Who? I'll scare you to death! He's now the esteemed guest of Mayor Zhou!"

"Mayor Zhou? Then... then he is a big deal indeed!"

Murmuring this, their faces filled with shock...

Murong Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then put on black sunglasses and approached, "My friend, I want to ask, the Master Xiaobei you were just talking about, could it be the founder of Xiaobei Brand, Hu Xiaobei?"
