Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 448 Xu Yue is also a peasant.

Upon Li Weihai's return, he will naturally reconnect with his former classmates and friends.

Perhaps we never lost contact before, we just contacted each other less often.

There are naturally many classmate reunions and friend gatherings.

After all, for someone in business like him, those were necessary social interactions.

"You didn't show off at the class reunion, did you?"

Xu Yue thought for a moment, then blurted out something without thinking.

Aren't class reunions nowadays just called "show-off parties"?

Those who are doing well show off.

Those who are not doing well watch those who are doing well show off.

Li Weihai is probably doing quite well now.

Business is getting better and better.

A little bit of showing off is still possible.

“What can I pretend to be?” Li Weihai said. “Qiu Kai is a rich second-generation. Although my business is doing well now, it’s still far behind his family’s.”

“He got ahead because of his father’s connections, you got ahead because of yourself,” Xu Yue said, shaking his head. “However, we’ll find out the specifics soon enough.”

A rich kid often shows off in front of his classmates, but suddenly someone appears who affects his image. Anyone with a narrow mind will not tolerate him.

I won't allow anyone to be more awesome than me to exist.

You're so awesome, what will my classmates think of me?
Of course, these are just Xu Yue's guesses.

If it's not that reason, what else could it be?
After all, the two didn't have any conflicts.

Could it be because you didn't let the other person copy your homework when you were studying?

What kind of business does his family run?

Xu Yue then asked another question, feeling that Qiu Kai probably wouldn't admit it.

Relying solely on identification may not be effective.

“Quite a few,” Li Weihai said. “His family owns several gas stations, but they mainly deal in natural gas. They used to own several gas companies. However, it seems they didn’t have any in Changjing District, and most of them were in rural towns. Now, I hear they have a few more in other places. They also own quite a few houses and shops.”

Xu Yue nodded.

I don't care.

These private gas companies are not necessarily profitable.

In particular, severe gas damage can lead to financial losses.

The most profitable aspect is probably still developing new users.

However, Xu Yue was not very familiar with this.

Ni Yan used to work for this type of gas company.

The salary and benefits are really not good.

And who knows when the boss will change.

But Qiu Kai's family is clearly an expert in this field, and their business must be quite large.

"How about it?"

Xu Yue looked at Fan Xiaoping and couldn't help but ask a question.

"They stubbornly refuse to admit it."

Fan Xiaoping shook his head.

Those people confessed, but there was no evidence. Qiu Kai stubbornly denied it. Based on their testimonies alone, there probably wasn't much that could be done about Qiu Kai.

“Call the parents!” Xu Yue said. “You police need evidence, but I don’t.”

Fan Xiaoping paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

"I'll call and ask," Fan Xiaoping said. "I don't have Qiu Yongwen's phone number."

Qiu Yongwen is Qiu Kai's father and has some connections in Gong'an City.

However, his family's business was mostly outside of Changjing District, so Fan Xiaoping naturally had little interaction with him.

It was not difficult for Fan Xiaoping to find Qiu Yongwen's phone number.

"Qiu Yongwen, General Manager Qiu?"

"you are?"

"Fan Xiaoping, Director of Changjing District Branch".

"Director Fan, hello."

"Qiu Kai is suspected of hiring people to extort money, vandalize shops, and injure people."

"Suspected? Does that mean there's no evidence?"

"That's right, not yet."

"Did Director Fan call me?"

"The victim wants to see you."

"okay!"

Fan Xiaoping did not hide the fact that he called Qiu Yongwen from Xu Yue and his group.

Li Weihai only caught bits and pieces of what was said, but Xu Yue heard it all clearly.

His hearing was naturally much better than Li Weihai's.

Not only did I hear the content of the call clearly, but I could also discern the other party's tone and expression.

"It seems this isn't the first or second time something like this has happened."

Xu Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

The mere mention of Fan Xiaoping's "suspected" status suggests that there is no evidence yet, which makes him seem relieved and even a bit proud.

As for why he still came even though there was no evidence?
A victim who could get someone like Fan Xiaoping to make this call must be someone of extraordinary status.

Even if the police can't find any evidence and his son escapes legal punishment, he probably won't escape retaliation from the other party afterward.

The fact that the other party didn't contact his son means that he felt his son wasn't even qualified to talk to him.

Who did my son offend?

He wanted to see who the other person was and also wanted to resolve the trouble.

Qiu Yongwen did not arrive quickly.

Perhaps it's because they're far apart, or perhaps it's intentional.

However, when he saw Xu Yue, his pupils shrank instantly.

He had offended Xu Yue by bringing up his rebellious son.

"Mr. Xu?"

Qiu Yongwen called out somewhat uncertainly.

“Mr. Qiu!” Xu Yue said, “This is my cousin, my own brother. My mother has a brother and a sister, but my uncle only has my cousin as his son. Qiu Kai hired people to extort money from me, beat up my cousin, and smashed up his shop.”

"Mr. Xu, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Qiu Yongwen was somewhat uneasy at this moment, and spoke cautiously.

If it were someone else, he would probably have denied it outright.

But in front of Xu Yue, he really didn't dare to deny it directly, let alone talk about any evidence.

Because he knew that Xu Yue didn't need any evidence at all.

Who is Xu Yue?

That is something that can reach the ears of Heaven.

He's definitely a real big shot in Gong'an City.

They can't afford to offend his family.

His family has some connections, but compared to Xu Yue, they are nothing.

“I’m actually quite puzzled as well. Why would Qiu Kai hire people to smash up the store and beat people up?” Xu Yue said. “He and my cousin are classmates, and we had drinks together at a class reunion not long ago.”

Qiu Kai's purpose was clearly not extortion; he simply wanted to find an excuse to smash up the shop and assault people.

Qiu Yongwen was somewhat surprised, and he finally understood why he was so certain that it was his son who had instigated it.

It wasn't just the testimonies of those who were hired, but also because his cousin and his son were acquaintances.

Qiu Yongwen felt that it was probably his son who did it.

Although he had never suspected it before.

This brat has no sense of restraint. He caused trouble before and ran away to another place to hide for a while, and now he's back and causing trouble again.

The key issue is that this time they've offended Xu Yue.

My cousin, and the only one at that.

This is a slap in the face to Xu Yue.

"I wonder how Mr. Xu intends to resolve this matter by summoning me here?"

Qiu Yongwen was silent for a moment before asking.

He didn't deny it because he knew very well that denying it would only escalate the situation.

If you're wrong, you have to admit it!
Stand at attention when you're about to be hit!
There is nothing to say.

If you can't afford to offend them, then you have to bear the consequences.

"Pour tea and apologize," Xu Yue said, glancing at Li Weihai again. "Compensation!"

"Okay!" Qiu Yongwen then asked, "How much compensation?"

He knew very well that he had no choice.

Xu Yue's business didn't actually have much overlap with his; for example, the gas supply in Taoyuan Village wasn't within his company's scope.

However, if Xu Yue wanted to target him, it wouldn't be difficult, it would be very simple, perhaps just a single sentence.

This is the effect of having a strong network of connections.

"They want 200,000, so you can give them 2 million."

Xu Yue said casually.

Two million is nothing to him.

Qiu Yongwen's family business is quite large, so they can definitely come up with two million. But it will definitely be a bit of a pain for them.

Of course, Xu Yue didn't ask for an exorbitant amount.

He was only there to solve the problem and teach the other party a lesson; he never intended to push them too far or to kill them outright.

"it is good!"

Qiu Yongwen did not refuse, nor did he have the ability to refuse.

He's a smart man; he knows very well that the cost of refusing would be greater.

The situation is better than people.

"My cousin doesn't have any objections, right?"

Xu Yue looked at Li Weihai and asked.

Li Weihai snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head.

Qiu Yongwen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Fortunately, the person was not seriously injured.

Otherwise, it probably wouldn't just be an apology and compensation.

Seeing Li Weihai shake his head, Xu Yue then looked at Qiu Yongwen and waved his hand.

The meaning is obvious.

Qiu Yongwen nodded and left.

The three talked, but Fan Xiaoping was not present.

Or rather, there were no police officers present.

This can be considered a private settlement, similar to an out-of-court reconciliation.

"Dad, why are you here?"

When Qiu Kai saw his father enter the interrogation room, he immediately shrank back.

He knew he was going to get scolded.

That was a subconscious action, or rather, a habitual action.

Do you even know who you've messed with this time?

Qiu Yongwen suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice.

"Just some country bumpkin who got lucky."

Qiu Kai looked around and said dismissively, pursing his lips.

He was naturally aware of Li Weihai's background.

He's not a fool.

Knowing full well that they can't afford to offend others, they still go and provoke them.

Li Weihai came from a farm. Later, I heard that he opened a small factory in Guangdong, but the land for the factory was requisitioned, so he couldn't continue and returned to his hometown. He rented a shop and started making custom shoes, and the business was surprisingly good.

Now they've opened another small factory, and business is booming.

"Snapped!"

Qiu Yongwen slapped him across the face.

"A peasant?" Qiu Yongwen said, "Your grandfather was also a peasant. At least half of the generals and marshals came from peasant backgrounds. Who do you look down on?"

Qiu Kai fell silent.

It wasn't because he realized he was wrong, but because he knew his father was angry.

"It wasn't Li Weihai who called me this time, but his cousin."

Qiu Yongwen suppressed his anger and spoke.

"Cousin?"

Qiu Yongwen was somewhat puzzled and surprised.

Did Li Weihai call for reinforcements?

And it seems they even found a really powerful person.

“Xu Yue!” Qiu Yongwen said, “He’s also the peasant you mentioned.”

"Xu Yue? The one from Taoyuan Village?"

Qiu Kai looked at his father in shock.

It seems I've really gotten myself into trouble this time.

Who is the person you absolutely shouldn't mess with in Gong'an City?
Xu Yue.

Their circle is actually quite clear.

Xu Yue has a wide network of connections and great influence.

Moreover, there is now a rumor that the Chuanlai Hotel offended Xu Yue over the land lease issue.

Then, nothing more.

I couldn't make it in Gong'an City, so I went to Jincheng.

It has long since gone bankrupt.

I heard that the Shan family has thus incurred a huge debt.

The Chuanlai Hotel in Gong'an City may have been bankrupted by Xu Yue through some means.

As for the one in Jincheng, Xu Yue didn't even have to lift a finger; it was directly squeezed out by Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel, which were deliberately targeting it.

“Yes! That Li Weihai is his only cousin,” Qiu Yongwen said. “Now you know how much trouble you’ve gotten yourself into.”

They have no evidence.

Qiu Kai seemed to want to say something, but Qiu Yongwen's cold stare silenced him.

"The police want evidence, but does he even need it?" Qiu Yongwen said. "You and Li Weihai are classmates, instead of trying to build a good relationship, you actually..."

If we can build a good relationship with Li Weihai, we might be able to get in touch with Xu Yue.

Pity.

Not only did they fail to build a relationship, they also offended someone.

"If I'd known he had such an awesome cousin, I would have been sucking up to him long ago. Why would I have messed with him?" Qiu Kai said. "Having such a powerful cousin and still trying to hide it, really..."

Qiu Kai was somewhat resentful towards Li Weihai.

You have such an awesome cousin, why don't you mention it?
If you had told me earlier, would this have happened?

If I had such an awesome cousin, I could talk about him all the time.

Why didn't Li Weihai say that?
What's there to say about that?

He didn't want to use Xu Yue's name to show off, as he was afraid of causing trouble for Xu Yue.

This is the difference between people.

"That"

Qiu Kai then looked at Qiu Yongwen, as if to ask how he had managed to resolve the issue.

"You pour tea for Li Weihai and apologize," Qiu Yongwen said. "Also, compensate him two million. That's the end of it."

"Two million!"

Qiu Kai seemed to find it hard to accept.

He didn't care about apologies or anything like that.

There was no loss.

As for face?

He didn't care at all.

If you've offended someone you can't afford to offend, shouldn't you apologize?

"You should be grateful if two million can solve this," Qiu Yongwen said. "If Li Weihai hadn't only been slapped, it probably wouldn't have been a matter that money could solve."

What does two million mean to Xu Yue?
If Li Weihai is seriously injured, Xu Yue will definitely not let it go, and no amount of money will help.

Xu Yue probably wouldn't even consider them his entire fortune.

"Let's go!" Qiu Yongwen said. "Don't cause me any trouble later."

Qiu Kai nodded.

Qiu Kai actually brought over a cup of tea as an apology.

Li Weihai actually drank it.

If you drink it, then it means the matter is over.

Li Weihai didn't say anything, but he glanced at Qiu Kai with a complicated expression.

My friend, you're really unreliable.

After offering tea and apologizing, Qiu Yongwen asked for Li He's bank card number and then left with Qiu Kai.

"Xiao Yue, that money..."

Li Weihai couldn't help but speak up.

His shop suffered some losses, estimated to be less than 20,000 yuan.

Those people only took the opportunity to smash some things during the argument; they didn't really wreak havoc on the store.

This is also why they dared to say that it was Li Weihai's attack on them that affected them.

As for his injury?
I reckon if I apply some medicine, the swelling will go down by tomorrow, and I won't even need to go to the hospital.

Is it really possible to just take two million like this?

He felt it was a little hot.

Moreover, the reason the other party was willing to pay so much compensation was because of Xu Yue.

Otherwise, whether they admit it or not is a question.

"Take it," Xu Yue said, waving his hand. "That's compensation for you. Besides, I don't even care about that little bit of money."

Li Weihai opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Two million?
This is something many people could never earn in a lifetime, but for Xu Yue, it might only take a minute.
