Smiling unnaturally, Zhou Dahai said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "It was such a pity that we collaborated last time. I hope Mr. Zhang won't make me angry because of it..."
How could he not express his anger? At that time, Zhang Yunfan had already laid out the firewood and was just waiting for Zhou Dahai, your plate of meat, but you disappeared without a trace.
If Wang Yong hadn't suddenly killed him later, Zhang Yunfan really didn't know what kind of situation he would have ended up in.
"It's best not to mention the past!" Zhang Yunfan stared at Zhou Dahai and said, "I just want Mr. Zhou to give me an answer on this matter! To be honest, I am applying for a trademark. If I get it by then
With the registered trademark, I found you, Mr. Zhou. You are the senior of the mall, so you don’t need me to tell you the consequences, right?"
Zhang Yunfan was a warning. Zhou Dahai's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but curse Zhang Wenzhong in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, this matter is actually a misunderstanding. In fact, it was not me who hung this plaque, but someone else. These vegetables are not mine, but someone else took my space."
Zhou Dahai hopes that Zhang Yunfan can believe this nonsense. As long as Zhang Yunfan doesn't think of him as a heinous villain. As long as he doesn't hold grudges, maybe there will be a chance for the two of them to cooperate again in the future?
"Come on, Mr. Zhou, do you really think of me as a three-year-old child?" Zhang Yunfan sneered, "There is no interest of your Juye Fruit and Vegetable Supermarket in this. I really can't think of why you would let them enter your supermarket.
inside!"
Zhou Dahai was speechless. What he just said was a lie. Is it possible that he really wants to lie again?
Anyway, it has been exposed by others, so just admit it. No matter what, it is better to leave an honest impression.

"Uh... it's true..." Zhou Dahai didn't say much, but replied, "Actually, this matter was not done deliberately by our Juye Fruit and Vegetables. There was actually a deep misunderstanding here. I didn't do it at first.
Being able to cooperate with Mr. Zhang is also due to a misunderstanding. Please listen to me, Mr. Zhang..."
"No need, Mr. Zhou." Zhang Yunfan interrupted Zhou Dahai and said seriously, "I have only one purpose for coming today, and that is to hope that you will quickly replace the plaque with my name on it and explain it clearly to these people.
!”
Zhou Dahai had a troubled expression on his face, but he still nodded.
Zhang Yunfan continued: "Do you know how your employees promote it? This is just a vegetable, not a magic medicine that can cure all diseases..."
Zhou Dahai quickly interrupted and timidly said: "Mr. Zhang, this, this is not my original intention, this is not my idea at all!"
"Even if it was not your intention, is it appropriate for you, Mr. Zhou, to acquiesce in this behavior? It has nothing to do with you at all? If someone really believed this rumor and ate such low-quality vegetables,
And if the treatment is delayed and the accident occurs, is it your responsibility, Mr. Zhou's, or my, Zhang Yunfan's?"
"Yes, yes... what Mr. Zhang taught me is that I... I will definitely correct myself!" Zhou Dahai showed fear of Zhang Yunfan, which really shocked the employees behind him. How could a dignified boss do this to a small vegetable farmer?
Pan Yan obeyed the advice, but with a bit of fear?
These low-level employees dare to say a few words to Zhang Yunfan and talk happily, but you, Zhou Dahai, are scolded like a grandson?
Naturally, these people don't know the reason. If Zhou Dahai was as simple-minded as them, he wouldn't be Zhou Dahai.
Of course Zhou Dahai has his reasons for doing this, but he just doesn't bother to explain to these mediocre people. So even if he heard people talking behind him and saw them pointing at him from the corner of his eye, Zhou Dahai still said nothing.
hair.
But these employees dared to criticize their boss behind his back. Do they really think that just because Zhou Dahai was polite to Zhang Yunfan, he could treat them equally?
Zhou Dahai clicked his tongue slightly, wanting the people behind him to talk less loudly. After all, he was also a boss...
But contrary to expectations, these people seemed to be pushing their limits and became louder and louder.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhou today? Is your head squeezed by the door? This guy's attitude..."
"I'm so impressed. I dare to scold that guy. He's a big boss, but he's afraid of a ball..."
"Coward...what a fucking coward..."
This made Zhou Dahai embarrassed, but looking at Zhang Yunfan facing him, he still suppressed his anger.
"Mr. Zhou!" Zhang Yunfan finally said to Zhou Dahai solemnly, "This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. It is related to my reputation and my career. Maybe you, Mr. Zhou, have a great family and a big business and think this is nothing, but I
Different! To be honest, I have already thought about it. If I still see this plaque tomorrow, I will directly go to the court to sue. Then Mr. Zhou will just wait to receive the summons."
As soon as he heard the word "prosecution", Zhou Dahai's face turned blue. He looked like he was a big deal. He took two steps forward and took Zhang Yunfan's hand. He begged and said in his tone: "Mr. Zhang... No, Brother Zhang."
, but you can’t!”
Zhou Dahai rolled his eyes, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, and said: "Actually...hey, I also have my own difficulties. To be honest, I am really riding a tiger now. To tell you the truth, if I
Take off this plaque and remove the goods from the shelves. Tomorrow, Zhang Wenzhong will have to use the contract we signed to ask for liquidated damages. This has happened once before, and I am really afraid, so..."
Seeing that Zhou Dahai's expression was really troubled, Zhang Yunfan softened his heart a little. If Zhang Wenzhong was behind it, his resentment towards Zhou Dahai would not be so great.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to sell this thing again. This is Zhang Yunfan's bottom line. It is one thing to sympathize with you Zhou Dahai, but it is another thing to sell fakes.
"Zhang Wenzhong and I still have many unresolved grievances, but that's for the future!" Zhang Yunfan said without any room for relaxation, "I have to pick it today!"
This is really putting Zhou Dahai on the fire. It is not impossible to pick up some famous names, but if Zhang Wenzhong finds out about this, he will have to use the contract he signed to blackmail him out of hundreds of thousands...
…
The key point is that this matter cannot be hidden at all. Zhang Wenzhong follows the vegetable truck into the city every day, and suddenly the product stalls and plaques are removed. Didn't he see it at a glance?
But now Zhang Yunfan has no room for negotiation. Zhang Yunfan cannot be allowed to take this matter to the court under any circumstances.
Not to mention whether the other party will be paid a large infringement fee for using Zhang Yunfan's name. If the matter becomes public, the negative impact it will have on Juye Fruit and Vegetable Supermarket will be devastating.
Not only will it lower your operating income, but it may also plunge the business you have worked so hard to create into an abyss of destruction.
"Mr. Zhang..." Zhou Dahai begged, "Let's discuss it carefully... Please come upstairs!"
Zhou Dahai made a request, but Zhang Yunfan remained indifferent, and his expression did not change at all.
"There is nothing to discuss. Please give me a clear answer!" Zhang Yunfan said to Zhou Dahai, "This is not only for me, but also for yourself, Mr. Zhou. If you go with someone like Zhang Wenzhong, it will be a mistake."
Nothing good will come of it!"
Is there really no room left? Zhou Dahai hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed meaningfully.
"Okay... take it off!" Zhou Dahai waved to the employees behind him dejectedly. Several people also seemed very hesitant, but Zhou Dahai yelled at him loudly: "What are you doing so slowly? Hurry up!
"
Only then did several people quickly dismantle the plaque into pieces. Each person carried a small piece and hurriedly threw it into the warehouse at the back.
"Mr. Zhang, look..." Zhou Dahai pointed to the messy scene after the demolition, "Don't be angry. In fact, it was Zhang Wenzhong who tricked me!"
With a look of resentment and helplessness, Zhou Dahai grabbed a few yellowed celery stalks from the ground. The leaves were all yellow, and the stems had long since lost their strength to stand up straight, and they bent softly.
"To be honest with you, I don't want to sell this thing. Look at the quality, it's just like the goods collected from the vegetable market. At first, the quality of the things Zhang Wenzhong sent was relatively better than this, but recently, the quality has become worse and worse.
It’s getting worse. If it weren’t for the high liquidated damages, I really wouldn’t want to sell..."
Zhou Dahai's words were very sincere, and he was also very reasonable.
But no matter what the result is, it is all the result of Zhou Dahai's own fault, and he cannot blame others. If he was not greedy for cheap, how could he have been fooled by Zhang Wenzhong!
"If it were me, I would rather pay him the liquidated damages than let this kind of person continue to be rampant!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Dahai looked like he was apologizing, and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Zhang, you see this place has been demolished. Once it is demolished, I won't use it anymore. Let's sit upstairs...
"
Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Zhang Yunfan simply nodded.
Zhou Dahai led the way. He had just walked up the steps a few steps when the waiter called out from behind him: "Mr. Zhou, you happen to be here. Wait a moment. The food from Shanghe Village has arrived. Come and take a look..."
Zhou Dahai looked back at the nervous waiter who had beads of sweat on his forehead and hurriedly opened the door and ran in. He said helplessly: "Throw away this cart of vegetables. From now on, we will not go to Shanghe Village to pull vegetables!"
The waiter was young and confused. He thought he had heard wrong and asked: "Then where should we go to get food?"
Zhou Dahai raised the door impatiently, pointed at the door and shouted: "You can go anywhere, I just won't cooperate with that old liar..."
Zhou Dahai's shout was so loud that dozens of people in the entire fruit and vegetable supermarket were stunned after hearing it.
At this moment, several porters outside the supermarket gate had already brought in baskets of vegetables.
The vegetable basket was messily packed with green vegetables, and the vegetable leaves were wilted as if they had been beaten by frost after autumn, without any vitality at all.
It's more like rotten vegetable leaves collected from some vegetable market.
Zhou Dahai became very angry when he saw these things from afar. Did Zhang Wenzhong deceive others too much? Just pass them off as good ones, and now he is blatantly treating himself as a fool?
The crowd looked at the baskets of vegetable leaves that were about to rot and become moldy, pointing at them.
"What is this? You can see it's all bad..."
"This is for feeding pigs, right? How did it get here?"
