Chapter Nineteen Deception

  Chen Qian is a beauty, and this beauty is desperately electrifying Li Zhe. In the past, Li Zhe would have been infatuated to the point of losing his sense of direction, but now he is a focused man.

  Women will never understand the shock that a mediocre man who has been wandering on the edge of survival like a walking corpse suddenly finds his destined career, the fiery passion and emotion that erupts from the ashes of near-death, far surpassing all the powers of this world.

  It can turn a coward into a hero and an ordinary person into a great man. Those so-called great men who changed history were all made this way.

  So Chen Qian's affected manner in Li Zhe's eyes was almost equivalent to nothing. Looking at her, the emotions that arose in Li Zhe's heart were not even as strong as those evoked by the simple and unsophisticated rural girl Su Cui.

  Back home, made a few phone calls, and also contacted the Think Tank website about some matters. Then I found time to post a few posts online, killing a hard-won leisurely afternoon, waiting for Liao Yunkai to come pick me up.

  Looking at Liao Yun Kai getting out of the car in a black suit, coolly wearing sunglasses, with the demeanor of a professional bodyguard, Li Zhe couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Yun Kai! Do we need to be so flashy?"

  However, Liao Yun-kai was serious about teasing Li Zhe: "Boss, this is a rule in the industry and also a warning color. Going out like this, all colleagues can see it and avoid a lot of trouble."

  Li Zheyi suddenly woke up and realized that even robbers are also looking at people's appearance.

  Get on the car obediently, and drive away quickly, heading straight to Yangcheng Club.

  In the club, Li Dong was waiting. When they met, he warmly welcomed him.

  "Brother! How's it going? I heard you're no longer in Zhongzhou?"

  Li Zhe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought to himself that this smiling tiger had actually gone to Zhongzhou to investigate his background. What a knife hidden in a smile! He began to be secretly vigilant, but on the surface, he didn't show any expression.

  "Yes! Brother's news is indeed insightful. This period of time, I'll mainly be in Guangzhou. After all, thinking it over, some things are still more convenient to do here."

  "Oh! So that's how it is. Little brother, you're absolutely right! It's great to come out early! Coming out and seeing the world changes your perspective completely! To be honest, your place is too isolated, there's nothing good there, what's worth staying for? With money, it's still better to stay in a place like Guangzhou, it's more enjoyable!"

  Li Zhe chuckled twice and responded with a few words.

  Then Li Dong said, "Brother, now that you're here, don't be restrained. Just think of this as your own turf. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know and I'll take care of it. Those managers at my branch stores, I'll give them a call too, and they'll definitely treat you well. Those guys are even more capable than me in some ways."

  "Thanks a lot, big brother! I'll definitely go meet him someday!" Li Dong, an old slick talker, might be enthusiastic about saying such polite phrases all day long, but for Li Zhe, it was truly exhausting to respond, and he hastily changed the subject:

  "Hey! Big brother! How's the thing you were preparing that we talked about on the phone a few days ago?"

  Li Dong's face turned difficult to look at: "Little brother, it's not that big brother doesn't believe you, but the path you're talking about is indeed available, however the cost is too great. Those old guys responsible for hyping things up are all making a living off of this, and it's usually hard to get them to move unless there's a big production, I'm afraid if we don't have a big enough show, we'll end up losing money!"

  "What does big brother mean?"

  "Listen up, kid! In our line of work, things are done this way. What exactly is the merchandise you've prepared? First, let me take a look at its quality and have someone make an estimate. That way, we'll know how big of a splash it'll make and what kind of situation we're dealing with. We'll be on the same page when we do business!"

  Li Zhe listened and then lowered his head in silence.

  Li Dong added, "This approach has now become a standard in the industry. It's not just Brother Hu making things up. Nowadays, no matter what you do, it's all about cost accounting and systematic management!"

  I'm hungry!

  Li Zhe cursed secretly in his heart! Damn it, how can selling a black goods require so many tricks, and even cost accounting and system management, making it like a multinational company. If everyone does this, let these ** people all go hungry! He didn't know that actually, the other party's move was indeed a legitimate way of doing things, he just didn't understand because he was ignorant.

  After some deliberation, Li Zhe said:

  "Listen, big brother, I'll tell you this way! I have a very special item in my hand, it's recorded in the book." (Upon hearing this, Li Dong's ears had already perked up).

  "But after it was dug out, our people found that it was somewhat different from the records. Although it's not very reliable, but this thing can be brought out to stir up some noise in historical records. However..."

  As soon as he said these few words, Li Dong's heart began to thump and jump. Indeed, it was that kind of thing, enough to change history - such an item would probably only appear once in a lifetime, what a huge temptation! Li Zhe stopped talking, and he couldn't wait to continue speaking.

  "But what?"

  Li Zhe smiled coldly, "But our kind of thing isn't a legitimate business, it's about following legal procedures. Once I hand this thing over to you - I won't be able to get it back."

  "This thing is worth a city, it's what the brothers have risked their lives for, and it's what they'll rely on for the rest of their lives. If there isn't real gold and silver put down here, let alone you, even if I were to be crushed myself, it would still be impossible to get the brothers to hand it over. What do you expect me to do?"

  Before he had finished speaking, a loud crash was heard, and Li Dong, in his excitement, leaned forward, unintentionally knocking over the small tea table in the room.

  With a sudden burst of noise, Liao Yun Kai and Li Dong's two bodyguards almost simultaneously drew their guns and faced off against each other.

  "Don't move! Don't move!" Li Dong hastily made a gesture to let everyone relax, "Nothing's wrong? Just knocked over a tea table, I'm old! Not useful anymore!" Li Dong sat up and rubbed his big belly, self-mockingly.

  "Alright, I see you still don't trust me, little brother!"

  Li Zhe shook his head and let out a cold laugh, his tone indifferent: "Older brother, why say such jokes. It's not about believing or not believing, in our line of work, who can trust who? Just like how you can't let your guard down when hunting rabbits, I also can't loosen my mouth here!"

  "What's to be done? Let's follow the old rules, I'll also give my younger brother a portion of the deposit, how about that?"

  "Big brother, you're talking big, but this stuff is still underpriced, how can we pay the deposit."

  "What's going on...?" Li Dong stood up, anxiously pacing back and forth, "Brother, what are you planning to do? Give me a clear plan!"

  "Alright! Don't worry, brother. I guarantee that this thing won't be given to anyone else to do." Li Zhe said slowly and calmly: "Brother, go to Beijing and find a few masters who specialize in making seals for books and paintings. Let me think of a way, at the very least, to let you take a look and see what this thing is all about."

  Li Dong's mind flashed with a burst of inspiration and he immediately grasped Li Zhe's meaning: "Brother's idea is to create a fake product, then..."

  "Some things - once said, they lose their interest. Anyway, in our line of work, we need to be a bit creative when doing things! What do you think, brother?"

  Two foxes stared at each other and slowly burst out laughing.
