Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"What? Hengyuan Electronics is withdrawing from the warehouse? Are you sure?"

In the home appliance department office of Xuanzhou People's Shopping Mall, a fat middle-aged man showed a strange expression.

"Minister Yan, it's absolutely true. Their store manager told me personally. Several porters are moving things in right now!"

Sales manager Zhao Ming quickly reported the situation.

Yan Xifang frowned, his face suddenly filled with anger. "What an ungrateful person! They're so shameless! We can't just let them go like this. Find some excuse and seize all the goods first."

Zhao Ming was a bit embarrassed. "This isn't a good idea. We've already found a reason to temporarily withhold their payment for the past three months. To withhold their goods again seems a bit excessive, right? This could easily escalate the situation!"

Yan Xifang slammed the table, making a loud "bang".

He stood up angrily, pointing his finger at Zhao Ming's face: "I told you to go, so just go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I don't believe it. I have seized their goods, what can he do to me!

A private enterprise, so arrogant, dares to go against our state-owned enterprises? I don't think he'll dare!

You actually dared to withdraw the goods without my permission. Do you really think I, Yan, am so easy to talk to?"

Zhao Ming nodded hesitantly, but seeing Yan Xifang's expression, he didn't dare to speak again and could only walk out of the office obediently.

As I walked, I was still thinking about what reason I could find to seize other people's goods.

...................

"What? They don't allow our own products to be shipped out?" Qin Cheng was baffled and puzzled. "What reason did they give?"

"Zhao Ming said that all goods leaving the mall needed a leader's signature. Then, our counter manager went to find Yan Xifang to sign, but that fat guy made all kinds of excuses to prevaricate."

"This is just a deliberate attempt to pick a fight!" Qin Cheng was furious. "Alright, I get it. I'll go find that fat guy later. Do you really think we at Hengyuan Electronics are so easy to bully?"

Qin Cheng picked up the small bag at hand and planned to report to Zhao Wenhao first.

But when he was almost at the general manager's office, he turned back, went downstairs and headed straight for the People's Shopping Mall.

Obviously, the previous conversation still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he planned to report to Zhao Wenhao after the matter was dealt with, instead of reporting every detail as before.

………………

"Minister Yan, what's going on? Did we offend you in any way? We're just here to do our job, so don't make things difficult for us!"

Qin Cheng walked into Yan Xifang's office. He was originally furious, but when he arrived at the office, he showed a different face.

He knew how difficult Yan Xifang was, so he didn't intend to confront him face to face.

The most important thing is that a batch of goods is still in the warehouse of the People's Department Store; in addition, the final payment has not been settled. If we fall out at this time, things will be even more difficult.

Yan Xifang watched Qin Cheng come in, but pretended not to see him and had no intention of paying any attention to him.

Qin Cheng quickly took out a cigarette from his bag, handed it to him, and apologized with a smile.

Unfortunately, Yan Xifang remained the same. He picked up the documents on the table, pretending to be busy, and still ignored Qin Cheng's courtesy.

Qin Cheng suppressed his anger and did not lash out.

He pulled out the chair opposite and sat down directly.

"Minister Yan, if you have something to say, just say it. We had a pretty good relationship before, and I gave everything I deserved and didn't deserve. Now that's the company's policy, since you're deliberately trying to pick a fight with us, we're withdrawing."

But you've been holding our payment, and now you're holding our goods too. This is a little unreasonable."

Yan Xifang finally raised his head, a look of sarcasm on his face. "What should be given and what shouldn't be given? Just explain clearly and don't spit blood. Our People's Department Store is a state-owned unit after all, and I'm a government official. How could I do such a thing?"

"That's pointless!" Qin Cheng frowned, then smiled. "During the holidays, I've given you cigarettes, alcohol, and red envelopes, haven't I? Don't you have an idea of ​​how much I gave you for your child's tenth birthday?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me, just show me the evidence if you have any." Yan Xifang didn't care at all, "If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will make sure you can't leave the mall.

You should know that my brother-in-law is the director of the Economic Investigation Department of our district public security bureau, and my third uncle-in-law is the deputy general manager of our shopping mall.

If you think I've done anything wrong, should I call my brother-in-law and my third uncle over and have them investigate me thoroughly? If I'm truly guilty, I'm willing to face the consequences."

Yan Xifang looked smug and didn't take Qin Cheng's threat seriously at all.

Qin Cheng also knew that he had no evidence and could not do anything to this fat guy.

But now the payment and the goods have been withheld. If we can’t get them back, the loss will be huge.

Helplessly, Qin Cheng put on a smile again and said humbly, "Minister Yan, I have no other choice. Can you please give me some face for the sake of our past friendship?"

Yan Xifang raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain: "Who do you think you are? You don't have the face in front of me. Your company has opened so many specialty stores, which means you are leaving us no way to survive! In this case, let's wait and see."

Qin Cheng wanted to say something, but Yan Xifang simply waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly, "Get lost, don't disturb me while I'm working. You don't have the face to do that. Let your CEO Zhao come here in person."

"You..." Qin Cheng pointed at Yan Xifang, and the anger in his heart rose again.

"What? Are you going to hit me again?" Yan Xifang stood up and leaned forward. "Come on, come on, try to touch me if you dare. Don't think that Hengyuan Electronics is so great. You are a private company, and you dare to challenge us? Are you really tired of living?"

At this moment, Qin Cheng really wanted to slap Yan Xifang's fat face.

But he just thought about it in his mind and really didn't dare to do it.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid?" Yan Xifang continued sarcastically, "I came up to you and asked you to hit me. You coward, if you don't fight me, you can't blame others!"

Qin Cheng didn't dare to fight with Yan Xifang on someone else's territory.

Besides, this itself is not in line with his character.

"Let's wait and see!"

Qin Cheng's face turned pale and he walked out of the office angrily.

"Tsk, you're such a wimp. Bah, what a piece of shit!"

Yan Xifang looked disdainful and turned to Zhao Ming who was standing over there and said, "Keep holding the goods. I want to see what they can do to me."

"Of course, of course! Minister Yan, you are truly formidable. Even if Qin Cheng was extremely brave, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"

Zhao Ming went up to Yan Xifang and handed him a cigarette in a flattering manner, then picked up the kettle and filled Yan Xifang's cup.
