This night, I slept until dawn and woke up naturally, probably because my subconscious told me that I had something very important to do in the morning, so I woke up at seven o'clock.

I looked at Han Yue, who was still asleep on my arm at this time, carefully withdrew my hand, and then tiptoed out of the room. After a simple wash, I went to the refrigerator to find some bread and eggs to make a breakfast for two, after eating myself, I covered the other serving, then poured a glass of milk and walked into the room, put it on the bedside table next to Han Yue, and pressed a note under the cup: Breakfast is ready, wake up and remember to drink milk, I will go to deal with the company's affairs first.

......

In the morning, after communicating with Qi Min in the company, we drove off to talk to the customer, on the way I found a shopping mall to buy some gifts, this time I went to talk to another customer who had signed a contract before, to see if I could find some clues from him.

The client was in the suburbs, and it took me an hour to get there. This customer has the same surname as me, called Cheng Hai, is a big brother in his early forties, in the early years, he set up an orchard, the orchard was transferred out at a low price, because the business was sluggish, Cheng Hai was still a novice at that time, he didn't understand anything, but he aimed at the prospect of the fruit wholesale market, and insisted on doing it. Later, Cheng Hai deliberately went to a lot of experienced fruit farmers to ask for experience, traveled around to learn how to grow more delicious fruits, and spent the rest of the time studying marketing strategies, and finally became, and now has his own orchards in many different regions, but this orchard in the suburbs is where he made his fortune, so he simply built his house here.

And this is also Cheng Hai's awesomeness, at present in the fruit wholesale industry, he is a well-known businessman, mainly because the quality of his fruits is very good, and the reputation in the industry is very high, so we tried our best to talk about cooperation with him, but now he suddenly wants to cancel the cooperation with us, which is not in line with his image of a good reputation.

When I came to this orchard, I went inside a little bit and saw a middle-aged woman and a little girl picking strawberries, and from the doting eyes of the woman looking at the little girl, I could see that she should be the mother of the little girl.

I walked closer, smiled and said, "Hello, may I ask Cheng Hai, is Mr. Cheng at home?"

The middle-aged woman glanced at the gift I was carrying, her expression changed, and she said indifferently, "Not here." ”

"When will he be back?"

"I don't know, he went on a business trip. The woman took the little girl's hand and walked out of the strawberry field, and then pulled the row of bamboo doors that stood in front of me, as if to turn me away.

"Well, I ......" I waved at their backs, but they ignored me and closed the door to the inner room.

Despite their attitude, I was not discouraged and sat down on the stone next to me and placed the gift on my lap. I lit a cigarette and got stuck in a long wait. Today's weather is very good, but for me who is now sitting and waiting outside, the weather of the sun is a bit "not beautiful", after smoking a cigarette, I feel dry mouth, so I went back to the car and took out a thermos cup to drink water, and then returned to the original position to continue to sit and wait.

Time ticked by, and just like that, half an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the room, as if they didn't plan to pay attention to me at all. After another twenty minutes, Qi Min sent me a message and asked me how the situation was on my side.

I typed back: "It's a bit miserable, I can't get in the door, I've been sitting outside the house for an hour now, Cheng Hai's wife said he went on a business trip, but I feel like it's a lie to me, I'll wait." After sending it, I edited another message: "What's going on over there?"

Qi Min replied to me after a while: "I'm talking, just now he went to answer the phone, I have time to ask you about the situation, alas, but I feel that the situation is not so optimistic, and another one is determined to cancel, and when he finishes calling, I will ask him what is the reason for canceling the cooperation with us." ”

"No more talking, he's back. ”

I looked at the second message he sent, silently locked the screen, and then looked around the room, still no one, so I lit another cigarette to relieve my boredom.

When I finished smoking a cigarette and tried to find water to drink, there was only a little water left in the thermos cup, and it was gone in less than one sip, and I didn't quench my thirst at all.

"Brother, do you eat strawberries?" a childish voice came from behind me.

"Hey, you're back!"

I turned around and saw that it was the little girl, still holding a plate of fresh strawberries in her hand, and her mother had also hurriedly trotted over and hugged the little girl, looking at me with a wary expression.

She said to me dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter with you, I said that Cheng Hai is not at home, you are still waiting here, if you don't leave, I will call the police!"

"Sister, don't be nervous, I'm the CEO of Utopia, and I have already said that I have reached a cooperation with Cheng Hai's orchard a few years ago, and even the contract has been signed, but yesterday I suddenly said that I wanted to cancel the cooperation, and I couldn't get in touch by phone, so I had to visit in person. With that, I took out the contract from my briefcase and handed it to her.

The woman didn't even look at the contract I presented, as if she had already known my intentions, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by another voice in the room, "Let him in." ”

I looked at it intently, and the person who spoke was Cheng Hai!

......

After Cheng Hai let me in, he asked his wife to take the little girl out to play in the orchard, and there were only me and him in the house. Cheng Hai first poured me a cup of tea, then lit a cigarette for himself, and handed me one.

"I know you're going to come to the door sooner or later, and I really want to run away, but seeing that you've been waiting outside the door for more than an hour, I don't mean to leave at all. He sighed, "Originally, this signed contract should be cooperated with you, I believe that Mr. Cheng, you also know what my reputation in the industry is, but this time, I'm really embarrassed, this is the liquidated damages on the contract, you take it, just treat it as an unladylike person, brother I'm sorry for you!"

I looked at the bank card he moved to the table, and didn't take it immediately, I looked at him, muttered for a while, and said: "Brother Cheng, on the day you and we cancel the cooperation, there are four other suppliers who all said that they want to cancel the cooperation with us, this will definitely not be a coincidence, I want to know, why even the contract has been signed, and the project is about to be executed, why did it change at this time?

Cheng Hai avoided my gaze and showed a look of struggle, "I also have a hard time, Mr. Cheng, let this matter pass as soon as possible! Don't ask any more, okay?" He got up and walked to the window and gave me a back.

"Bitter?" I asked, confused, and after a pause, I said tentatively, "I see, it's a threat, right?"

Cheng Hai's back shook slightly, it seemed that I had guessed it, I also stood up, walked to his side, relaxed my tone and pleaded: "Brother Cheng, I beg you, you just need to tell me the reason, otherwise our company may face greater and unknown risks, and it is not easy for everyone to come out to do business!" After speaking, I put a hand on his shoulder.

"Alas......" Cheng Hai turned around, put down my hand, and said helplessly: "A while ago, we didn't know who released the rumor in the industry, and threatened: If you find that someone dares to cooperate with Utopia, then you will bear the consequences! At first, I didn't believe it, but then on the fourth day of the Spring Festival, I was suddenly drugged in an orchard in Shandong, and some of the fruit trees died, and I lost more than one million yuan overnight! Isn't this a warning and threat from Chiluo-luo? Everyone is out to eat, Mr. Cheng, the matter has come to this point, I can only cancel the cooperation with you, otherwise I will have a greater loss!!"

My heart is full of shock, who is so vicious, in order to suppress the development of our company, he actually "cut off food" for us, hiding in the shadows to make a trick, why don't you come out and directly fight our utopia?!

"This is not a trivial matter, who dares to do this? Brother Cheng, have you called the police?"

"Call the police? Hehe, people dare to let out a rumor in our industry, and they are really dismounted, do you think it is still useful to call the police? The more we want to make things bigger, the worse our losses will be, this is a matter of arms that can't twist our thighs!" Cheng Hai looked angry, but he had no choice but to suffer such a big loss.

I was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by 'people'?"

Cheng Hai stared at me for a while, then walked to the coffee table, clicked some tea with his fingers, and wrote out four words!!

"I know so much, even if I still know the rest, I can't reveal too much to you, alas, Mr. Cheng, I advise you to think about how to quit, you have already offended people who are not easy to mess with!" Cheng Hai wiped off the four words on the coffee table, and then turned around and walked into the room inside the house, which meant to send off guests.

My heart is still in amazement, it's Tiansheng Group again! What the hell is this thing, I don't even know what it is, so why should I offend it?

After standing there for a while, I glanced at the bank card on the table, but finally didn't reach for it, in this matter, Cheng Hai is also one of the victims, and the money is still left for him to make up for the orchard he lost.

After leaving Cheng Hai's house, I drove back to the company, called Qi Min on the way, and told him that the matter had come to an end and that he would go back to the company as soon as possible for an interview. After the call, I stepped on the accelerator deeper, sped up the speed of the car, and read four words out of my mouth: "Tiansheng Group!"
