I was a daigou in the 60s

The renovation of the abandoned factory progressed quickly, taking less than two days.

The walls have been reinforced, the weeds have been cleared, and the ground replaced with cobblestones.

At the same time, Xiao Dongqing received a call from Zhou Ye.

Tell him that the twenty soymilk machines purchased from Nordic countries have arrived.

The original price of each unit was five hundred, but with the purchase fee and other expenses, the cost has increased.

Xiao Dongqing bought twenty soymilk machines for 12,000 yuan.

After getting the receipt, he immediately went to Zhang Hong to get the money.

At the same time as getting the money, Xiao Dongqing found three peony stamps through other channels.

After an afternoon of hard work, the soymilk machines were finally transported to the abandoned factory.

When the power was connected, Xiao Dongqing started to tinker with the soy milk maker.

Shen Zhong stood by and watched all this intently.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"

Shen Zhong couldn't help but ask.

"Research how to make tofu using a soymilk maker. Isn't that obvious?"

Xiao Dongqing glanced at him and replied.

Shen Zhong muttered to himself, remembering the tofu vendors he had seen when he was collecting protection fees.

They get up early and go to bed late every day, work hard, but don't earn much money.

Now Xiao Dongqing actually wants to teach them how to make tofu, which makes Shen Zhong feel incredible.

"Brother Xiao, we are all rough people and we don't know anything."

"We can drive deliveries and lift heavy objects, but making tofu? Isn't that asking for trouble?"

Shen Zhong complained, and the people behind him echoed him, and the whole room was filled with dissatisfied voices.

Xiao Dongqing turned off the machine and frowned.

"Didn't you promise me yesterday that if you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then leave!"

Seeing Xiao Dongqing getting angry, Shen Zhong quickly changed his words.

"I can do it, Brother Xiao, I'll listen to you."

"My friend will be here soon. He will teach us how to make tofu using the mechanized production line."

"When the time comes, you will all obey his command."

Xiao Dongqing explained.

"Yes, Brother Xiao, you are right."

Shen Zhong asked while nodding.

"Brother Xiao, who is this friend?"

"It's my holly."

Xiao Dongqing answered simply.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open and Liang Zheng rushed in with an excited look on his face.

Seeing rows of brand new soy milk machines, he danced with joy as if he had discovered a new world.

“I didn’t expect you could get so many soymilk machines!”

Liang Zheng exclaimed.

"With these, we can produce at least 1,500 barrels of stinky tofu every day!"

Liang Zheng ran around the soymilk machines like a child, and he couldn't let go of each machine.

Shen Zhong was stunned watching from the side, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Brother Xiao, is he the friend you just mentioned?"

Shen Zhong asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Xiao Dongqing answered calmly.

At this moment, Shen Zhong felt as if his head was struck by lightning and was shocked.

Shen Zhong stood there, his whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Memories came flooding back.

Once, when he was a street thug, he often caused trouble for Liang Zheng.

They forced him to pay protection money and even beat him up.

Liang Zheng at that time was weak and powerless and could only endure it silently.

Now, the situation has changed and Shen Zhong has become one of Liang Zheng's men.

I couldn't help but worry about revenge.

Just thinking about it, he felt a chill running down his spine and his face turned ugly.

Shen Zhong quietly walked to Xiao Dongqing and pleaded in a low voice.

"Brother Xiao, can you help me put in a few good words so that Liang Zheng won't hold a grudge?"

But Xiao Dongqing seemed not to hear his request. He just stared at the excited Liang Zheng and spoke loudly.

"Liang Zheng, come here, I'll introduce someone to you.

Shen Zhong."

When he heard his name, Liang Zheng's body shook noticeably.

Then he turned to look at Shen Zhong, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Holly, why did you bring him here?"

Liang Zheng asked quietly, a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

"don’t worry."

A sly smile appeared on Xiao Dongqing's lips.

"From today on, he will listen to your every word and be your foreman."

Liang Zheng was stunned at first, then an expression of incredible joy appeared on his face.

"really?"

Xiao Dongqing nodded without saying anything more.

Liang Zheng's eyes were fixed on Shen Zhong.

His fists clenched unconsciously, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered in the past, he felt that this might be a great opportunity for revenge.

If I let this go, wouldn't I be stupid?

"Slap yourself."

Liang Zheng ordered.

Shen Zhong was stunned and turned to look at Xiao Dongqing for help.

But Xiao Dongqing pretended not to see it.

After explaining a few things about work, he left.

As the wooden door slowly closed, Shen Zhong's heart sank.

He looked at Liang Zheng with a bitter face, full of regret.

At the beginning, in order to repay the usury, he had to do those bad things.

Although the debt has been paid off now, it has offended many people.

Now, he wants to get closer to Liang Zheng, even at the cost of lowering his status.

"Brother Ma, Dad Ma, you can call me son!"

"Dad Ma, please forgive me for not being sensible before!"

"Don't play that with me!"

Liang Zheng pushed Shen Zhong away and said angrily, veins bulging on his face.

"You can't just let go of what you did to me before!"

Shen Zhong was really speechless at this moment, and only felt extremely regretful and helpless.

Shen Zhong's life is very unstable now and he lives under someone else's roof.

If he did something wrong, Xiao Dongqing would let him go.

In this era of soaring prices, it is not easy to find a high-paying job.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Zhong closed his eyes helplessly, raised his arm, and slapped himself hard.

The crisp sound echoed in the room and everyone around was stunned.

They had never seen Shen Zhong so self-blaming.

The young man who used to spend money like water seemed to have become a different person.

"Mr. Liang, are you satisfied now?"

Shen Zhong asked with a look of pain on his face.

"That's not enough! You have to admit your mistake while fighting!"

Liang Zheng said mercilessly.

Shen Zhong didn't dare to refute and could only nod repeatedly.

"Okay, I admit my mistake."

With each slap, Shen Zhong kept repeating his mistakes.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have bullied you."

Another slap.

"I'm not a human. I'm not a human."

After several rounds, Shen Zhong's face was already red and swollen, like a bloated balloon.

Xiao Dongqing did not witness all this with his own eyes.

He was currently walking in the alleys of East Street, heading towards a simple rental house.

After the knock on the door, Zhang Hong appeared at the door. He was busy sorting a pile of documents.

When he saw it was Xiao Dongqing, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"why is it you again?"
