It was almost ten o'clock when Chen Feng returned to Linnan County.
He did not go home immediately, but went to Yujing Hotel.
Guo Mengyao had sent him harassing WeChat messages every day for the past two days, complaining a lot about Chen Feng's postponement of their meeting.
Chen Feng could only promise her that he would see her as soon as he came back.
Chen Feng was a man of his word, so of course he kept his word. He hurried back today and met with her as soon as possible.
Chen Feng didn't deliberately give her a surprise or anything. After all, they were not a couple. He informed her before coming back.
Fortunately, it was before Wu Mengting made an appointment with him, so Chen Feng didn't let her go anymore, saying that he would come back before midnight to meet him, and it was only ten o'clock now.
The two soon met in the room where Guo Mengyao was staying at the Yujing Hotel.
Both of them are adults, and they are both at an age where they know their tastes. They have experienced several friendly matches before. Of course, they didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, they went straight to the topic and were honest.
The exchange between the two lasted for more than two hours. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when both of them stopped communicating due to exhaustion.
"Chen Feng, I find that I like you more and more, what do you think I should do?"
Guo Mengyao, who was lying on his back, suddenly said this, which made Chen Feng's heart skip a beat. Of course he was a little proud, but more importantly, he was worried about trouble. Chen Feng was really surprised by her sudden appearance.
Sure enough, this kind of love-stealing game between men and women can easily get angry.
Guo Mengyao is a married woman, and she also has a daughter.
Although Guo Mengyao said that she and her husband had separated a long time ago, this does not change the fact that she is someone else's wife.
From a moral perspective, it is definitely unreasonable for him to be like her now.
"Cold salad." Chen Feng tried his best to pretend to be relaxed, "You know, you can't marry me, and I can't marry you."
Guo Mengyao frowned and said unhappily: "Why can't you marry me? You have a girlfriend, right? You can just dump her."
Chen Feng couldn't help complaining in his heart: Why do you want me to dump him? But he sighed and said: "You still have a husband in name, and didn't you say that last time? You don't want to divorce your husband, because he will break up."
Take your property."
Guo Mengyao was speechless for a moment.
Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
But after a while, Guo Mengyao suddenly asked: "If... I get divorced, will you marry me?"
Chen Feng sighed in his heart, not to mention that his luck in love was so good, his charm seemed to have increased a lot.
Chen Feng could only pretend to be hesitant and embarrassed for a while, then slowly said: "I have told you before, I have only been divorced for a few months, and I will not consider remarriage in a short period of time.
Besides, my girlfriend is very good to me, and I can’t possibly break up with her.”
"You can't break up with her because of me?" Guo Mengyao was a little angry.
Chen Feng wanted to ask, why should I break up with her for you? But with the relationship we have now, Chen Feng could only say tactfully: "She is very good to me. She has always taken good care of me and is considerate of me. I
When I first got divorced, I was very decadent and depressed. It was she who brought me sunshine again, made me happy again, and gave me hope and yearning for life again..."
"Okay." Guo Mengyao interrupted him, turned around angrily, with her back facing him, and said in a dull tone, "Since she is so nice, why are you provoking me?"
Chen Fengxin said, it was obviously you who provoked me, but he sighed and said: "It's all my fault. Your charm is too great. I couldn't hold back my impulse."
Of course, Guo Mengyao also knew in her heart that the two of them were like this, mostly because of her initiative. After hearing Chen Feng's words, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and said with a smile: "What you said is still human. Okay,
I was joking with you just now. It is impossible for me to marry you. I just tested you a little bit. As a result, you disappointed me. You are indeed a scumbag. You already have a girlfriend, and you are still hooking up with others outside.
"
Chen Feng said sincerely: "It's really not me who is hooking up with others, it's fate. My romance during this period is so prosperous that I can't even hide away."
Guo Mengyao nodded with some recognition and said: "Your peach blossoms are relatively prosperous. You have a girlfriend over there. There is also a god-sister, a lover, and me here. It's your ability to be busy."
.”
"So, I can't help it. I have escaped before, but many things, including love luck, cannot be avoided. Who would have thought that I would meet you, an old classmate, when I come here to have a buffet?
Then who would have thought that they just met and had sex that night."
"When you say that, I feel like you are showing off on purpose."
Guo Mengyao said and stretched out her legs to push Chen Feng.
Chen Feng jumped out of bed and said, "I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to come together?"
"Forget it. I'm too tired. I'll wash it when I get up tomorrow."
…
Chen Feng didn't get home until almost eleven o'clock the next day, just in time for lunch. His uncle was also there. When he came back, he said that he had selected three alternative store locations in Yuelou Town. He hoped that
After he finished eating, we went over to have a look together.
Zhao Xiaolan has already discussed this with her sister Zhao Xiaomei. The two sisters will help Zhao Guozhong, his incompetent brother, for the last time. The two of them will again give him 50,000 yuan each to open a store with brothers Chen Feng and Chen Rui.
Of course, based on the previous lesson, the 100,000 yuan must not be given directly to Zhao Guozhong, but should be given to the brothers Chen Feng and Chen Rui when the money is needed to officially open the store.
And Zhao Guozhong has learned the lesson from the last nightclub, and it seems that he has finally "grown up", and he is indeed busy with the car wash these days.
Therefore, Chen Feng stopped being picky about his uncle. After lunch, he drove with him to look at suitable store locations.
"The total population of Yuelou Town is more than 30,000. The economy is more developed than your Qingpu Town, and families own a lot more cars. Currently, there are two car washes in the town, one on the central avenue of the town.
The location at both ends of the entrance and exit. Their location is relatively good. People in the town will pass by one of them whenever they drive in or out of the town.
Their business is very good. I have looked at it in the past two days. They wash at least a hundred cars every day, and the price is 30 yuan. If they make half and half, they can make more than 1,500 yuan a day.
It is really very profitable. You can also make some money by inflating tires, repairing tires, and selling some car supplies.
But they are all private stores, not as formal or high-end as your brothers’ store. If we copy the past, we will definitely have business, and we will definitely be able to kill them and take away their business."
Zhao Guozhong had obviously done some homework, and his conversation with Chen Feng was on target, which made Chen Feng very satisfied.
"Do the bosses of these two families have any background?"
"What background do they have? I know one of the bosses. He used to be a gangster. He was nicknamed Short Eight. He is over 1.6 meters tall and has splayed legs. He has been with a friend of mine for a few years, and he still yells at me when he sees me.
Brother Yiyi spent several years in prison for hurting someone in a fight. After he was released from prison, he opened a car wash shop with the help of his family.
Madan, now this guy is driving a Land Rover and has a mistress. I heard that she is still a college student, and she can be his daughter. This guy basically doesn’t go to the store now, leaving it to his wife, son, and daughter-in-law to take care of it. In addition, it seems that he also
I jointly opened a small factory with others to produce some small commodities to make money. This guy may have some money now, and he knows some people in the scene. After all, he has opened this car wash shop for more than ten years, but if you really want to touch him, I will teach you in minutes.
He is a human being.”
Seeing his uncle's appearance, Chen Feng didn't feel disgusted at all. Shopping malls are like battlefields. Since everyone is competing among peers, some unscrupulous methods must be used when they should be used.
"What's the details of the other company?" Chen Feng continued to ask.
Zhao Guozhong immediately replied: "The other one is even less worth mentioning. It is not from our local area. He used to work in our town, and then he had a good vision and opened the first car wash shop in our town in partnership with a few fellow villagers."
"
"He's a foreigner. And there are several people working together. Isn't this a bit difficult?"
Foreigners in their area tend to stick together. If there is a conflict with someone, hundreds of fellow countrymen are likely to get involved, making the locals afraid.
"If we go head-to-head with them, it definitely won't work. They all stick together, and some of them are aggressive and aggressive. Previously, Aiba also tried to find someone to fix them and drive them away, but failed several times. Finally, I heard
He said that they came back to block him with a knife, and after a series of threats, the two parties reached a settlement."
"Then what are you going to do?" Chen Feng asked.
Zhao Guozhong chuckled and said: "We are a society governed by law now. I heard Arui say that you have connections in the HB Bureau, and car wash shops must also meet environmental protection standards. So, I think we can report it after our shop opens.
.Both of their stores do not meet environmental standards, and car wash sewage is discharged illegally."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "This is also a way, but if we report it, they will immediately know that we did it. Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"
Zhao Guozhong smiled confidently and said: "Isn't this you? You have killed two competitors here in Qingpu Town. Now there is only one car wash shop opened by you two brothers in the whole town. Have the other two bosses taken revenge on you?
?”
Not really.
In fact, Chen Feng was a little puzzled before as to why the two car wash shops just swallowed their anger after they were shut down.
Later, I asked my brother about the situation of those two families, and I got a rough guess.
The reason is actually a simple logic, that is, people are afraid of officials.
Chen Feng personally reported the environmental pollution problems of two other car wash shops to Director Feng that time. The two other car wash shops must also know about his relationship with Director Feng.
In addition, Chen Feng did not intentionally report indiscriminately, there is evidence. Their suspension is also reasonable and legal.
After that, although the owners of these two car wash shops chose not to continue opening them in Qingpu Town, they moved to other places to reopen car wash shops, and they were successful and still very profitable.
Therefore, they were afraid of offending the Chen Feng brothers, or that Chen Feng would use their connections to shut down their store, let alone retaliate against the Chen Feng brothers.
This is a very real problem.
But the situation here in Yuelou Town is a little different.
"Don't use reporting methods for the time being. There is endless money to be made, and there is no need to engage in vicious competition. I believe that as long as we use fair competition, we can defeat them. Unless they use shady means first, we will consider counterattack."
"Wouldn't that delay us from making money? I think it's better to get rid of these two chickens and dogs as soon as possible."
"It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. Let's be polite before fighting. As long as everyone competes fairly and competes on the table, we don't have to be afraid of them."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Guozhong was now very convinced of Chen Feng, so he stopped insisting.
When they arrived at Yuelou Town, Chen Feng was directed by Zhao Guozhong to visit three places.
In fact, they are the two ends of the middle avenue in the center of the town, one on each side and two on the other side.
It's a good choice. First of all, choose one with greater traffic volume, and then consider other factors.
After Chen Feng inquired for a while, he selected the place with the largest traffic flow and the place closest to the highway.
This happens to be an abandoned private gas station that can be used as a car beauty shop with a little modification.
Zhao Guozhong was most satisfied with this place, and he had already asked about the price. Now that the land and the right to use the store are in the town, the rent is not very expensive.
Therefore, Chen Feng entrusted him with full authority to act as agent for the leasing of land and stores here. He himself began to contact the franchise companies and asked them to send teams over.
Chen Feng is considered a regular customer here. Chen Feng is familiar with these procedures. Moreover, because it is the second store, the price is somewhat preferential and the service is more attentive.
First, the store is completed, and then the head office sends a team to take care of decoration, training and other issues. He only needs to be responsible for recruiting a few people.
The most important thing among them is the candidate for the store manager. Chen Feng plans to start a circle of relatives to search for him.
This matter has come to an end for the time being.
At the same time, Hong Guiquan and his wife arrived at Wu Mengting's home.
Then, they went straight to the point and told Wu Mengting's parents about Chen Feng, especially the fact that he was terminally ill and had terminal brain cancer.
After hearing this shocking news, the couple remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Father Wu let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that he would get such a terminal disease at such a young age. What a pity."
Wu's mother also sighed with emotion and said: "He seems to be fine on the surface, but why did he get such a terminal illness? Meng Ting respects him so much. She must be very sad to know such news."
The aunt quickly said: "I think Meng Ting has a crush on him. She must know this as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will make a mistake."
Hong Guiquan also nodded and said: "Yes. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, so as not to keep her in the dark."
At this time, Wu Mengting was not at home. She was taking Xu Shujing, who had come to the city, to go shopping and make preparations for visiting Chen Feng's house tomorrow to pay New Year greetings.
But her mother soon urged her to come back with several phone calls. As soon as she saw the door, she noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart, for fear of hearing some bad news.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all so serious?"
Wu Mengting asked in a panic.
The four elders looked at each other, and finally the aunt spoke: "Xiaoting, that godbrother of yours, he... he has a terminal illness, did you know?"
