This account was only made by Wang Meng and Winery. If I guess correctly, Liu Meng would also have an account, and this account would be shown to Xiong Li. It says on this account that there are 51 boxes of fake wine. So I guess that Liu Fei reported to Xiong Li at least 10 or even 71 boxes. Liu Fei will definitely take kickbacks! Linna continued and I nodded after listening. I had guessed this before. I was not sure whether the fake wine issue was decided by Liu Fei or Liu Fei's superiors, but what was certain was that every level of them would take kickbacks. So what? You continue. I told Linna that even if Linna's guess was correct, it couldn't be a reason for Xiong Li to let me be the general manager, because this matter had nothing to do with me at all. With Xiong Li's personality, he will definitely choose the lower-priced one. If you give these two accounts to Xiong Li and tell him that you have a source of cheaper wine, do you think he will let you be the general manager? Linna raised the corners of her mouth and looked at me with a smile. I raised my eyebrows when I heard it! rational! But where does cheaper alcohol come from? This reminds me of a person, who used to be my younger brother. It was through him that Zi and I met. But it’s not absolute, right? Besides, this is just your guess. What if this matter really has nothing to do with Xiong Li, and it’s just that Liu Fei sold fake liquor without telling his superiors? I asked, and Linna smiled and said: What you said is just a challenge. How can anything be absolute? But based on my understanding of Xiong Li, he might do this. As the general manager of a nightclub, he won't care that much as long as you give him profit. I nodded. It made sense. After all, Linna knew Xiong Li a little bit. Also, it's possible that you said my guess was incorrect, but wouldn't you give Xiong Li a call for consultation? Call for consultation? Will he tell me if I ask him? After hearing this, I asked with some surprise, Linna smiled and said: Are you so stupid? When you call him, just say you are a wine merchant and ask him if he needs supply. He will definitely be interested. People of his level, I believe, must know that his father is no longer around, so he won't be as cautious as before. You can talk to him openly. Linna said, but when she mentioned that her father was away, I clearly saw a trace of sadness flash across Linna's face, but it quickly recovered. This made me feel a little distressed, after all, she is my wife, but it also made me more determined to help Linna get revenge. Then I used the black card to send a message to Wang Meng, asking him for Xiong Li's number in my brother's name. I thought he should know it. Wang Meng also talked a lot at the beginning and asked me why I wanted Xiong Li's phone number. I didn't tell him and asked him to send it to me. He did and also told me that I had taken good care of Xiang Dong these two days. I responded with a "yeah" and told him I saw everything and thanked him, then I called Xiong Li. Hello, who is this? A rough male voice came from the phone, and I asked: Are you, Xiong Li first? It's me, who are you? Xiong Li's voice is rough but a little domineering. First of all, I'm a Winery, I produce wine, I know you need beer, right? I can produce it here, the price is very favorable, and it tastes just like the real thing. I wonder if you are interested? I asked Xiong Li, and Xiong Li was silent for two seconds, then asked: Are you a fucking cop? ha? No, no, Mr. Xiong, you're overthinking it. I got your number from a friend. I really heard that you were purchasing alcoholic beverages, so I called you right away. Excuse me, excuse me.
I said it politely, and then Xiong Li was silent for a while, and then continued: If you have anything to say, you can talk to me in person, don't talk on the phone, that's it. After saying Xiong Li he hung up the phone, but I smiled! Although Xiong Li didn't say anything, but like Linna said, he was indeed interested, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words to me. The reason he didn't talk on the phone was that he was afraid that I was a policeman. After all, the police are also involved in the sale of fake liquor! If I were a policeman and recorded the conversation, what would he do? But if we talk face to face, then it can be done. After searching the body and checking that there are no eavesdropping devices, we can talk openly. Right? I think he would be interested? Linna said to me with a smug smile that she was sitting close to me and she heard everything that was said on the phone. I smiled and said nothing, and then I received a text message. I'm not in Kyoto now. Come to Xingfu Community, Unit 30, Building 11, at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow to find me. Let me see. Linna reached out for my phone, glanced at the text message, then grinned and said: The time and place are all set for you, this is much simpler, but let me ask you, how is your relationship with the owner of Fake Winery? That's about it. After hearing Linna's question, I could answer it. Linna smiled and said: That won't do. The price of wine is Fifty Yuan a box now, and it's also written on the account as Fifty Yuan a box. You have to lower the price a bit to be convincing to Xiong Li. Let me teach you. You can say that your mistress runs a Winery, has a lot of wine, and offers preferential prices! Xiong LiI guarantee you will be interested! Innocent! Linna said with a smile. I curled my lips and said naively, "Yes, it is not difficult to develop Xu Jiao into a mistress, but can you ask her to lower the price?" If you mess with them, they might even ask you to raise the price! How could I be so naive? You should not lose confidence in yourself, otherwise what will happen? If you say fifty-one boxes, then your advantage is dispensable to Xiong Li, so it's time for you to use the beauty trap. Linna said with a mischievous smile, I knew from the look on her face that she was teasing me, I curled my lips and ignored her, took out my phone and called my friend. My friend's name is Wan Fei. When I was undercover in Northeast, he was one of my right-hand men. After the black power group was smashed, he came to Kyoto to open a Winery. He invited me to join him several times, but I refused because I wanted to put aside my past. The wine he produces is not fake, but some low-end wine on the market. When I first arrived in Kyoto, Wan Fei had some cooperation with Zi, and it was Wan Fei who introduced Zi to me. The price here is Fifty Yuan a box now, a box has ten bottles, which is more than four yuan per bottle. I remember that the low-end beer produced by Wan Fei is even cheaper than this price, and Wan Fei is a regular manufacturer, I wonder how much cleaner it is than the one from Xu Jiao! ah? This kind of beer? Dong Ge, this is fake. I told Wan Fei about the situation, Wan Fei was surprised, and then I said: Brother, I know this matter has put you in a difficult position, but I Xiang Dong say this here, no matter what happens, I Xiang Dong will handle it alone. I Xiang Dong say what I mean and I won’t. If I say I will resist, I will definitely resist! Wan Fei, who used to be my younger brother, understands this. After I finished speaking, Wan Fei smiled and said: Dong Ge, what are you talking about? I'm just a little surprised. If you tell me to do anything, I'll have no problem doing it!
Wan Fei agreed, then spoke up. I smiled upon hearing him. I understood why Wan Fei was surprised; even though I had been undercover in the Underworld, my reputation was known to some, and Wan Fei was one of them. I despised dealing in harm.
"Alright! As long as you agree, just tell me, what's the minimum I can get for this case?" I asked Wan Fei. He told me that a case of this liquor could fetch around Forty Yuan. This liquor was produced at a higher cost than the genuine Chengdu liquor he made, primarily due to the packaging, which was a hassle to manage. Even at Forty Yuan a case, he wouldn’t make a profit. Of course, you couldn’t just consider the cost of the liquor; there were also expenses for labor, utilities, rent, and shipping.
"Brother, then it’s settled. Don’t worry, this is just you helping me out initially; I won’t treat you poorly in the future," I said with a smile. Wan Fei’s words confirmed my suspicions; there was definitely a reason behind Fifty Yuan a case. A ten Yuan difference would surely pique Xiong Li's interest. Wan Fei chuckled and said, "Dong Ge, you’re being too polite; I’m like your own brother!"
I smiled back; indeed, when Wan Fei was with me back then, he treated me like family. I remembered how clingy he was when I didn’t want to discuss Jianghu Affairs anymore—he was hard to shake off.
With one phone call, everything was settled. I turned to Linna beside me and asked with a grin, "Do I still need to sell my looks this time?"
Linna pouted in response, saying nothing as she turned and went back into the house, ignoring me. I watched her retreating figure and couldn’t help but chuckle; Linna’s playful personality was quite endearing.
With everything arranged, I only had to wait for the day after tomorrow to meet Xiong Li. The next day, I arrived at Tianchi for work as usual. Upon entering Tianchi, I immediately sensed something was off; the service staff were looking at me strangely.
Moreover, I didn’t see Xiao Dao anywhere.
"Xiang Dong? Come to my office!" Suddenly, a deep voice called out. I turned around and froze; it was our general manager Liu Fei! The look on his face suggested that something serious had happened.
But where was Xiao Dao? And why wasn’t Manager Wang around? Where had they gone?
"Xiang Dong! Why are you still standing there? The general manager is talking to you—didn’t you hear him?" Another voice barked—it was Xiao Huang. This dog had started barking at me again! Then Xiao Huang approached with two service staff and pulled me upstairs.
What the hell?
"Get lost! I can go by myself!" I pushed Xiao Huang away and headed upstairs. Xiao Huang and a few staff followed closely behind, laughing and jeering at me. But I didn’t pay attention to their words; my mind was racing with thoughts about what might be happening. Had my cover been blown?
Did Liu Fei find out that I stole his account? Who told him? If that were true, what should I do?
