Start with a blacksmith shop.

"Hua Zi, I'm suffering. Just thinking about it makes my balls hurt."

Listening to Guo Shugui's wailing, which was originally a very distressing thing for Li Zhenhua, he felt a strange sense of amusement.

"Let's think about how to get there. You two are in such a small car."

If you run into traffic police on the road, I reckon you'll get points deducted and a fine.

Li Zhenhua reminded him that Guo Shugui was also deep in thought.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I ride in your borrowed car? Since it's for hauling goods, it must be very spacious."

"Forget about that. I don't want to give up the driver's license I worked so hard to get."

Just because I let you sit in the truck bed, they revoked my driver's license.

"Oh no? No, I really can't borrow a tricycle this time. My driver's license doesn't qualify me to drive one."

Li Zhenhua was troubled as he spoke, as he hadn't spent an extended period of time at home in over three years.

I don't know which of my neighbors in town has a suitable car, or where to borrow one.

Li Zhenhua said to Guo Shugui, who was also troubled:

"Alright, stop thinking about it. I'll figure something out. You and Fatty just wait here."

After saying that, Li Zhenhua left the courtyard.

Stepping out of my house, I saw that there were already people on the street.

Li Zhenhua looked around and saw that all the storefronts in the town had their roller shutters up.

Li Zhenhua walked towards the small supermarket that had just opened its doors.

Li Zhenhua easily borrowed a car from the small supermarket; it was a Wuling double-cab van, which the supermarket usually used for transporting goods.

Li Zhenhua had a good reputation in the town, and his grandfather had always been kind to others, so he had a harmonious relationship with his neighbors.

So he was able to borrow the car easily, but Li Zhenhua helped him unload the things before he could drive the car back.

As soon as Li Zhenhua entered the room, he heard Guo Shugui shouting inside.

"Just you wait, you bastard, I'll make you lose everything."

You despicable bastard, we're not on the same wavelength.

You want to make money, that's fine, but if you're going to make money through dishonest means and then team up with me, then I'm not going to play along.

Guo Shugui looked disgusted and hung up the phone.

Still somewhat angry, he raised his phone, ready to smash it to the ground.

A nimble fat man next to him quickly grabbed Guo Shugui's arm and snatched the phone from his hand.

"Young Master Guo, it's okay to be angry, but you can't take it out on your phone."

It's not worth breaking your own things; we should make the other party suffer losses.

If you smash your things like this, people will definitely call you an idiot.

Liu Xiaodong, the fat man, hugged Guo Shugui's arm and comforted him.

When Li Zhenhua walked in and saw this scene, he knew that something must have happened.

"What's wrong? Who upset you, Guoba?"

Guo Shugui calmed down at this moment. Facing Li Zhenhua's question, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"It's nothing, just something related to my business."

Sigh, I should tell you guys about it. If I don't, I won't feel good keeping it all bottled up inside.

Li Zhenhua and Liu Xiaodong both appeared to be listening attentively, which would have been noticeable if anyone else had been present and seen them.

The scene was just two bystanders watching the spectacle.

Guo Shugui was about to explain what had happened to the two curious people, but he had a feeling that they had ill intentions.

Before Guo Shugui could utter a single word, Liu Xiaodong, the fat man, stopped him first.

"Wait a minute, don't move, and wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, he ran away. Li Zhenhua was also curious about what was wrong with this fat guy. Wasn't he usually very interested in this kind of thing?

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaodong ran from the first floor to the yard, picked up a long bench with a grinder in the corner of the yard and ran, also grabbing a small rectangular grinder from the side.

After Liu Xiaodong came in, he placed the stool directly in front of the counter.

He ran over again, grabbed Guo Shugui's hand, and pulled him behind the large wooden counter, placing a small millstone in his hand.

"Please begin your performance."

After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, he ran out from behind the counter and helped Li Zhenhua sit on the bench.

Even a fool could understand what Liu Xiaodong was doing at this point. He was treating Guo Gongzi like a storyteller and then giving him a small millstone as a gavel.

"Fatty Liu, let me tell you, I'm not done with you yet. What kind of friend are you?"

"Yeah, Dongzi, what you're doing is really... I don't even know what to say."

Li Zhenhua was also stunned by Liu Xiaodong's actions, having previously been referring to himself as a bystander.

Now the two of them are just like two bystanders. Although Li Zhenhua couldn't do it, he still gave Liu Xiaodong a thumbs up behind his back.

Guo Shugui, who was already very angry, had his anger largely dissipated after Liu Xiaodong's outburst.

The frustration in his heart gradually dissipated as Liu Xiaodong acted recklessly.

Guo Shugui looked at the small stone in his hand, then at the two people sitting upright on the small stool, who were even more well-behaved than kindergarten children.

For a moment, Guo Shugui forgot his previous unpleasantness. He was in a playful mood and slapped a small millstone on the counter.

*Slap*

"Continuing from where we left off, what word should we say next?"

The two were initially surprised by Guo Shugui's actions, but their moment of triumph lasted only three seconds.

Guo Shugui then changed the atmosphere of listening to the story.

"Stop fooling around, Guoba, hurry up and tell us. We still have to go to the county town after you're done!"

Li Zhenhua offered a reminder from the side.

Guo Shugui also stopped joking around and began to tell the two of them his story.

It turns out that Guo Shugui's Greenland Real Estate has a competitor in China with a similar positioning and service quality.

The two companies, one in the south and one in the north, each developed within their own territories.

However, the market is only so big, and it is inevitable that they will meet in the same city. From then on, the competition between the two companies became more and more intense.

The company's young master and Guo Shugui have known each other since childhood and were originally good friends.

However, as they grew older, their relationship was no longer what it used to be.

The biggest turning point came when his rival's father sent him abroad to study.

And the country where he studied was Japan, which is particularly annoying.

Ever since this man went abroad, when he came back, Guo Shugui felt that something was wrong with him.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

One day, when this person was treating everyone to dinner, he said at the table, "What's wrong with you Kyushu people?"

From this point on, Guo Shugui also understood why he felt something was wrong.

His education had always aligned with socialist values, so the sudden appearance of this thing in his home was truly unbearable.

Just now, his childhood friend called him, and all his unhappiness stemmed from that call.
