Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Gao Dapeng wants to explain.

Bai Tianming really hadn't thought about how he should explain it to him.

Because this involved an event from the past that had been buried deep in his heart for several years.

"Lao Gao, from the beginning, I really wanted to help you get the contract for those six restaurants. But then, Sun Jun suddenly found me and told me that Deputy County Chief Zhou's nephew also wanted to contract them, and he had already promised to mediate."

"From that moment on, I knew my chance to take revenge on Sun Jun had come."

Revenge on Sun Jun?

Gao Dapeng was a little puzzled. He didn't know what hatred there was between Bai Tianming and Sun Jun.

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any deep hatred between you and him. Don't say that you are fighting for the position of general manager. Even if you bring down Sun Jun, the head office will not promote you to be the general manager." Gao Dapeng said.

Bai Tianming smiled disdainfully when he heard this.

"He's just a branch manager. I really don't take him seriously."

"Lao Gao, do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were still a quality inspector in the company? The company organized a dance party and you saw a pretty waitress and insisted on inviting her to dance, but ended up having beer splashed on her face?" Bai Tianming suddenly asked.

Gao Dapeng still remembers the dance party five years ago.

"I remember that later I don't know which bastard told Wenli about this. Because of this, Wenli and I had a cold war for three months. What we are talking about now has nothing to do with this matter." Gao Dapeng recalled what happened five years ago and couldn't figure out what Bai Tianming was trying to say.

"You know, I can't dance. I went home early that night. Do you know what I saw in my own home?" Bai Tianming's face was a little flushed. When he spoke, he pinched his five fingers together, and his fingertips turned white because of the excessive force.

It was the first time Gao Dapeng heard Bai Tianming mention these things, so he casually asked, "What did you see?"

"Sun Jun, he and Zheng Xin are in my house, on my bed." Bai Tianming didn't continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

"What do you mean?" Gao Dapeng's face was full of astonishment. It was the first time he heard of this.

Bai Tianming nodded painfully: "Yes, they were in the room that day, and I heard it clearly from outside the door."

"Then what? You didn't rush in and chop that bastard named Sun into pieces?" Gao Dapeng asked in disbelief.

Bai Tianming closed his mouth and smiled bitterly, then looked at Gao Dapeng and said, "Do you look down on me?"

He didn't look down on them, but Gao Dapeng was a little confused as to why Bai Tianming, a grown man, could tolerate such a thing. If it were him, he would have picked up a big kitchen knife and chopped the couple into pieces. No one would have survived.

"So this is why you divorced Zheng Xin?" Gao Dapeng asked.

Without answering Gao Dapeng's question, Bai Tianming continued, "Do you know what I did that day?"

"what?"

Bai Tianming laughed at himself and said, "I didn't do anything. I closed the door quietly, went back to the ball, and pretended nothing had happened."

"I hate Zheng Xin. I hate her infidelity! I hate her for lying to me! I hate Sun Jun even more! He's one of my best friends! How could he do such a thing!"

"I can't catch him cheating, because then my son will be laughed at for the rest of his life."

"Besides, catching them cheating is too light a punishment. It won't do any harm except embarrassment to this adulterous couple. I will make them pay a heavier price!"

Perhaps it was because these things had been weighing on his mind for too long, Bai Tianming seemed a little crazy at the moment, his eyes were red, and he was smoking cigarettes in big puffs, as if only under the influence of nicotine could he barely control himself.

Recalling what Li Youcai said, Lao Bai must have been preparing those materials for a long time.

At this moment, Gao Dapeng also understood everything: "So you have been planning to take revenge on Sun Jun since then?"

"I've waited and prepared for five years, just to get Sun Jun behind bars. I know Sun Jun. He's a spendthrift, always looking for small profits and forgetting the bigger picture. As long as he has power, he'll definitely use it for personal gain. And he hasn't let me down in these five years. He's taken kickbacks, accepted gifts, and inflated his expenses."

"Even if this restaurant contracting incident hadn't happened, I was planning to create an opportunity to report him."

"I just didn't expect that Sun Jun, who didn't know how to live or die, would actually come to my door."

Gao Dapeng stared blankly at Bai Tianming opposite him. At this moment, Bai Tianming made him feel very strange and scary.

He witnessed his wife cheating with her friend with his own eyes, but he was able to endure it for so long, just to give Sun Jun this fatal blow!

Gao Dapeng really didn't know whether he should congratulate Bai Tianming for finally succeeding or feel sorry for him.

"Old Bai." Gao Dapeng called softly.

"Look how good I am now. Sun Jun will definitely not be able to get out for more than ten or twenty years after he went to prison this time, while I am still the director of the catering company. My son has also been admitted to a normal school and will be a teacher after graduation. You should be happy for me."

Bai Tianming put out the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

He put on a smile again and said, "Lao Gao, the catering company won't last long. You can try your luck at the Beiwei Restaurant first. If you still want to contract a restaurant, you'll have another chance later."

Gao Dapeng shook his head and looked at Bai Tianming calmly. Then he said softly, "Actually, I came here today to submit my resignation, and I came to see you this time."

"Resign?" Bai Tianming was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand why Gao Dapeng did this.

Even if the catering company is failing now, it is still a stable job after all. Why would you just throw it away?

"Lao Gao, don't be impulsive." Bai Tianming said.

"I'm not impulsive, and I've never felt so clear-headed as I do now." Gao Dapeng stood up after saying this: "Okay, I've heard everything I need to hear. I'm leaving now, and I hope you'll be well too."

Gao Dapeng turned around and walked out of the office door.

"Lao Gao!" Bai Tianming also stood up and shouted, "Are we still friends?"

"If you say so, then so be it." Gao Dapeng's figure completely disappeared outside the door.

In the office, Bai Tianming grinned and sat back in his chair.

After leaving the catering company, Gao Dapeng went directly to Li Youcai's old factory.

In the courtyard, several strong young men were using pickaxes to dig holes, and Li Youcai was watching them with nothing to do.

Li Youcai saw Gao Dapeng entering the yard from a distance.

However, Gao Dapeng did not walk towards him, but went straight towards the office.

Seeing this, Li Youcai also walked back to the office.

Gao Dapeng didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. As soon as he entered the office, he lay down on the bed with his feet on the iron bed railings, looking like a big boss.

Li Youcai walked in and saw Gao Dapeng lying there calmly.

Li Youcai said, "Why don't you go back to your state-owned restaurant and stay there? Why are you coming here to slack off?"

"I've resigned. I'll work with you in a big restaurant from now on. If you dare to lie to me, I'll just go to your house for dinner." Gao Dapeng said lightly, resting his head on his arms.

"That's great. To celebrate your resignation, we'll have cabbage stewed with vermicelli at noon. If you don't mind, let's celebrate." Li Youcai said with a smile.

“So stingy!”
