Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

As long as you have a source of goods that others don't have, you can sell more other categories of products as well.

Now that the canned food was out of the question, the olive branch that Lu Zifeng offered him was very tempting.

Lu Zifeng offers a complete range of products in large quantities, which allows him to obtain more favorable prices than ordinary middlemen.

Qi Bo can completely say goodbye to the past of running around and get everything done in one stop with Lu Zifeng, and the cost is even lower than if he sourced the goods himself.

But he also understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so why should Lu Zifeng help him like this?

"Are you sure you don't want to make a single penny from me?" Qi Bo asked.

Lu Zifeng smiled and nodded: "I can show you all the delivery slips stamped with the official seals of the suppliers and manufacturers."

Qi Bo was still puzzled and asked, "What's in it for you?"

Lu Zifeng said, "First, I need to increase my own sales volume and try to get a better price. Of course, if I get a better price and you lower your price accordingly, I still won't make a penny off you. Second, you helped me with He Cheng's matter. I'm not good at expressing myself, but I remember it all. Third, strictly speaking, my hometown is also Baiguo Village. We both come from the same village, so helping each other is nothing special."

Qi Bo remained silent.

His impression of Lu Zifeng was that he was a江湖哥 (jianghu brother) who had abandoned his sword to go into business.

This is not a derogatory term.

Brotherhood members in the martial arts world are all about loyalty and brotherhood.

Lu Zifeng added, "If Boss Qi isn't comfortable with this, we don't need to sign any agreement. If you want to get goods from me, then come and get them. If you feel it's not worthwhile to get goods from me, you can stop at any time."

Qi Bo picked up a glass of wine and clinked it against Lu Zifeng's: "It's all in the wine."

Lu Zifeng's three reasons for helping Qi Bo were all heartfelt.

There is a fourth point, but I really can't talk about that now.

When Lu Xiaoye got home that evening, he put fifty yuan on the table with a stern face.

"Brother, this is what Teacher Zhang asked me to return to you. He said that taking this money would be against my conscience."

Lu Zifeng paused for a moment, then asked, "How about we change to a teacher from another class?"

Lu Xiaoye turned and went back into the house, leaving behind the words, "Save it, I'm really not cut out for studying."

"Stop!" Lu Zifeng shouted. His voice wasn't loud, but Lu Xiaoye, who had always been suppressed by his older brother since childhood, couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

As Mr. Lu was tidying up his car repair tools, he muttered, "If you can't study, then don't. Come back after graduation and learn to repair cars with me."

Lu Zifeng stepped forward, gently placed his hand on Lu Xiaoye's shoulder, and said, "If no one helps you achieve your ambitions, it's because they lack the ability."

Lu Xiaoye slightly raised his eyelids and asked, "Isn't it me who's incompetent?"

Lu Zifeng said, "It's true that some people are capable of learning. But there are many other skills in this world besides learning. Besides, you've accumulated too many problems, and ordinary people can't help you up, rather than you being inherently incapable. Here's what we'll do: you still have a year. You can think about your interests or what you're good at in your spare time. We'll talk about everything after you graduate."

"Okay." Lu Xiaoye seemed to have regained some confidence.

In the city center, on Bayi Road.

The lights reflect the night sky.

Apart from this area, the districts that were later called the main city are now all suburbs.

So, although this area is far from being as prosperous as it is now, it is still the most eye-catching part of the city.

Lu Zifeng and Lin Siyan sat facing each other across a small table.

The table was so small that if two people were eating at the same time, they would bump their heads.

During one meal of hot and sour noodles, I touched it at least seven or eight times, I don't know if it was intentional.

Lin Siyan said, "I just mailed you a letter today, and it hasn't even reached Dong County yet, but you've already come to the city."

Lu Zifeng laughed and said, "That's what you call tacit understanding."

Lin Siyan shook her head: "There are many kinds of tacit understanding. Besides the tacit understanding between lovers, there is also the tacit understanding between friends, the tacit understanding between family members, and even the tacit understanding between business partners."

"Then what should we call it?" Lu Zifeng asked.

Lin Siyan leaned closer and whispered, "This is what love is."

Lu Zifeng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

He wasn't laughing at Lin Siyan; he was just thinking of a classic line from a movie called "The Nameless" from his previous life.

Li Haigen: "This is what you call love!"

Hu Guangsheng: "I love selling twisted dough sticks!"

Lin Siyan didn't know what he was laughing at, and snorted, "You'd better think of a way to convince my dad. He won't let us be together."

Lu Zifeng comforted him, saying, "Your father is a criminal police officer, so he's naturally hostile towards someone with my past, and we have to understand that. But let me clarify one thing: I was only detained for fighting; I haven't committed any other crimes, and I've never been to jail."

Lin Siyan nodded: "Zifeng, I believe in you."

Lu Zifeng continued, "You know what a balance scale is, right? Right now, your dad's prejudice against me is like a very heavy weight, stuck firmly to one side of the scale. We shouldn't try to forcibly remove it, but rather try to add an even heavier weight to the other side of the scale."

"What is that?" Lin Siyan asked, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes reflecting the brightness of the streetlights.

"Career and sincerity. So, Siyan, give me some time."

Actually, when it comes to the word "sincerity," Lu Zifeng feels uneasy.

To be honest, he had feelings for both Lin Siyan and Qiao Ling.

Every time he went on a date with Lin Siyan, he felt a sweet feeling of first love.

But being with Qiao Ling gives me a warm and reassuring feeling.

As things stand, he doesn't want to give up on anyone.

So what if he's a jerk!

Some people want to be a jerk but can't even get one!

When Lin Siyan returned home, she was naturally met with a cold reception.

Lin's mother was the first to question: "Why are you so late coming home?"

This kind of question was never asked before.

Clearly, Lin's mother believed that Lin Siyan must have gone on a date with Lu Zifeng.

So Lin's father naturally chimed in, "How many times have I told you not to associate with Lu Zifeng? He's been in and out of prison at least three times; what kind of good person could he be? As the daughter of a criminal investigator, how can you expect me to associate with someone who's been in and out of prison three times? Where do you expect me to put my face?"

Lin Siyan didn't say anything, went straight back to her room, and locked herself in.

"This child!"

"I'll go check tomorrow and see where Lu Zifeng is hiding. If he dares to harass my daughter again, I'll break his leg."

At some point, Old Master Lin came out of the room.

He looked at Lin Shouyi, his lips moved a few times, and he squeezed out a sentence: "Let's talk after you can beat him."

Lin Shouyi: "..."

Lin Zheng added, "If he fought back under those circumstances, it wouldn't be considered assaulting a police officer. At most, it would be considered mutual fighting."

Lin Shouyi: "..."

Even Lin's mother couldn't stand it anymore and complained, "Dad, why do you always side with that brat?"

Lin Zheng sighed, "I'm doing this on behalf of Siyan! Were Shouyi's words just now intended to solve the problem?"

Lin Shouyi asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lin Zhengdao said, "You guys are all too aggressive. I'm going to get in trouble."
