Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy
Chapter 71: Praise
If you were to ask who Zheng Jiufu fears the most, it would definitely be Li Quanan, the famous evil spirit in He'an County.
This man is ruthless and has connections in both the black and white sectors. He runs brothels and casinos in He'an County.
Zheng Jiufu was a womanizer and a gambler. After his mother's death, he was left without a caregiver. He quickly squandered the little family fortune inherited from his ancestors and incurred a massive gambling debt. During those years, he was frequently abused and tortured by Li Quan'an's vicious thugs.
Later, Zheng Jiufu came to the Bai family and it was Bai Yishui who stepped forward to help him settle the matter.
"Are you trying to blackmail our Bai family?" Bai Xun said quietly.
Zheng Jiufu grinned and said, "How could that be! I just have a reasonable suspicion, and it's better for everyone to clarify it face to face. After all, it's dark and the roads are slippery, and no one knows who might slip and fall."
Bai Yishui's face darkened.
"That's true, so you have to be careful. This time you were only slightly injured and lost some face, but it may not be the same next time." Bai Xun curled the corners of his lips and said lightly.
Zheng Jiufu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He clenched his back teeth tightly, feeling filled with resentment, but unable to vent it.
He knew that it was Bai Xun who did it, but he had no evidence and could only suffer in silence.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say."
After saying that, he clasped his fists and walked away.
Bai Yishui frowned slightly and said, "President Jiang, we are surrounded by wolves. I'm afraid we can neither make peace nor stay at peace with An County."
"Now... neutrality is probably out of the question," Jiang Yuanhai sighed. "I originally thought that deepening cooperation with the Sheng family in Yangcheng would deter the surrounding factions that are ready to make moves. After all, no matter how arrogant they are, they wouldn't dare to go against the Sheng family easily."
"When one is at the end of his rope, he will do something desperate," said Bai Xun.
Jiang Wenjie curled his lips and said, "I've said it before, blindly giving in won't work. Some people must be beaten into submission."
"Wenjie, talk less. No one thinks you are dumb!" Jiang Yuanhai glanced at him.
"What Brother Wenjie said does make sense," said Bai Xun.
Jiang Yuanhai was somewhat surprised. The Bai family had always adhered to the principle of "less is more" when dealing with external affairs. The second young master Bai was even more famous for his kindness and rarely acted rashly or impulsively.
"President Jiang, we're all halfway through our lives. It's time to let the kids out and have some fun."
"Oh? So, you already have a solution?"
"We still need President Jiang's help." Bai Xun said.
Coming out of Jiang's house, getting on the carriage.
Bai Yishui frowned, "What if the Jiang family backs down and refuses to cooperate?"
Bai Xun shook his head and said, "No, Zheng Jiufu's arrogant appearance today caused such a scene, which damaged the Jiang family's reputation. Chairman Jiang is furious. Besides, even if he can tolerate it, Young Master Jiang can't."
"Nothing is absolute..."
"Then add some more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously." Bai Xun said.
"Have you heard? Zheng Jiufu was injured in Baihuayuan and ran to the Jiang family and made a scene in front of the head of the Bai family. President Jiang and the head of the Bai family were not angry at all. They even had someone respectfully escort him to the car."
"So... who did it?"
"There are rumors that it's the second young lady of the Bai family."
"It's hard to describe the Second Young Lady of the Bai family."
"That's right, it's not presentable!"
As he was speaking, Zheng Jiufu came in triumphantly with a few burly men.
"Oh, distinguished guest! The arrival of Boss Zheng makes our shop shine! Please come to the private room upstairs!" Shopkeeper Chen from Huicuilou stepped forward to greet him.
Zheng Jiufu glanced at everyone. The feeling of being the center of attention greatly satisfied his vanity.
"No need, just sit in the lobby and serve two tables of the best food and wine in the restaurant! These brothers are Marshal Li's personal guards. They have seen good things and are picky eaters! Don't try to fool me with bad stuff!"
"Don't worry, no one can fool you! You are a big celebrity in our and An County now." Shopkeeper Chen said with a flattering smile.
After Zheng Jiufu and several bodyguards sat down, Manager Chen went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
The waiter said sarcastically, "Boss, this Zheng guy comes here every day and shows off. He's been paying the bill for several months, but we haven't seen a single penny..."
Shopkeeper Chen sneered, "He likes to be praised, so let's praise him as much as we can. Praise him as high as possible. The higher the better, because the more painful it will be when he falls."
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Jin? I haven't seen you for a long time. Is Old Master Jin doing well?" Zheng Jiufu said with a smile.
The Jin family suffered a setback in Ancheng a few days ago. The shop they had run for decades was taken over by Li Shaoshuai and Zheng Jiufu.
Many people in An County know about this incident.
Jin Zirui ignored him with a stern face.
Zheng Jiufu became even more proud when he saw this.
Back when his family was down and out, none of the rich young men in the city would look up to him, Zheng Jiufu. But now, none of them dare to fart in front of him.
What a joy! Such a joy!
"As a person, you need to have some perspective. After all, he who knows the times is a hero!" Zheng Jiufu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp with a smile.
"You're right. The Chamber of Commerce is now cooperating with the Sheng family of Yangcheng. Young Master Jin has also boarded the Sheng family's ship. He will surely have smooth sailing and great fortune in the future!"
"I'll lend you some good words!"
Jin Zirui smiled and clinked glasses with the man sitting opposite him.
"Is the first batch of goods going to Yangcheng in the next two days?"
Jin Zirui nodded and raised his voice, saying, "Master Sheng gave us a lot of profit. It's much easier to make money than when we were in Ancheng."
Just then the waiter came to serve the dishes. Zheng Jiufu smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat.
The Sheng family in Yangcheng is reaching too far!
Years ago, Marshal Li went to Yangcheng in person, but he didn't even get to see the head of the Sheng family.
The Sheng family clearly doesn't want to get involved in Ancheng's mess.
Now, they are cooperating with the He'an County Chamber of Commerce in a big way, trying to snatch the fat meat that is in the Li family's mouth.
The task given to him by Marshal Li was to destroy the cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Sheng family, and at the same time to sow discord between several wealthy families in An County.
After much deliberation, Zheng Jiufu decided to start with the male wife of the Bai family who was not presentable. This would not only benefit the Wu family of Ancheng, but also disrupt the relationship between the Bai family and other wealthy families.
Rich and powerful families attach great importance to those damn rules.
It is shameful that the second young master of the Bai family married a man as his wife, did not take a concubine, and only favored him, which was an unethical behavior.
Moreover, the Bai family used neutrality as an excuse to not join the He'an County Chamber of Commerce, and they had little contact with several major families in the city, and their relationship was average.
Starting with the man’s wife will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Unexpectedly, before he could make any ruthless move, he was ambushed by the second young master Bai.
Zheng Jiufu rolled his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
Isn't this a chance to kill two birds with one stone?
Whether the first batch of goods from the cooperation between He'an County Chamber of Commerce and Sheng family can be shipped smoothly depends on me, Zheng Jiufu.
