Chapter 258: Chapter 258: I Want to Do Business With You
"No, impossible! It can’t be happening!"
Liu Qiang never imagined that even after playing his greatest trump card, it would be utterly useless. He Hongming didn’t just refuse to spare him for Vice President Jiang’s sake.
In fact, it seemed he was even planning to use this incident to make a move against Vice President Jiang.
’If that happens, I won’t just be fired. If Vice President Jiang finds out what happened today—that I sold him out at a critical moment...’
’Then, if Vice President Jiang takes a fall because of this, he’ll definitely blame it all on me!’
’My fate will be a thousand times worse than it is now!’
’After all, even though he’d bribed Vice President Jiang handsomely back in the day, getting him to pull some strings to land him the manager position in the produce section, he knew Vice President Jiang was no saint.’
’Anyone who threatened his interests would not be let off easily.’
’So, if Vice President Jiang found out he’d messed things up, he would never be forgiven! And when that time came, it wouldn’t be something a simple bribe could smooth over!’
"Hmph, nothing is impossible! You’re Sun Xiaojie, right? Call the police and hand Liu Qiang over to them."
He Hongming was in no mood to waste any more time on Liu Qiang. He had his important guest, Shen Nian, to attend to!
"Yes, Boss."
Sun Xiaojie promptly called the police. Officers arrived shortly after and took Liu Qiang away, and peace was finally restored to the supermarket.
After Liu Qiang was taken away, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. However, even after they had gone, the day’s events would provide them with gossip for a long time to come.
Once the crowd had cleared, He Hongming walked over to Shen Nian.
"Xiao Nian, why don’t we go to my office? We can have a proper chat there."
He Hongming said, looking at Shen Nian. He had finally met his great benefactor and wasn’t about to let her just walk away.
"Alright."
Shen Nian didn’t refuse. After all, with the parasite Liu Qiang out of the picture, she still had business to conduct. Besides, the person she was dealing with now wasn’t just the produce section manager but the owner of the entire supermarket. His word would certainly carry far more weight.
"Xiao Nian, come, have a seat right here. This must be your brother, right? Come, both of you sit. Have some tea, have some tea."
"Uncle He, this is my older brother, Shen Xiangdong. Brother, this is Uncle He—He Hongming—the gentleman I met on the train."
"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Uncle He. And thank you for everything today!"
Shen Xiangdong had overheard the earlier conversation between Shen Nian and He Hongming, so he understood that his sister had saved He Hongming’s father on a train and that the man now regarded her as a great benefactor.
Normally, Shen Xiangdong would have been shocked. But after his sister had already saved two people at the Miao Family’s home, saving one more on a train hardly seemed surprising at all.
"There’s no need to thank me. My employee was the one in the wrong. You were the ones who were nearly treated unfairly."
"It’s all in the past now, Uncle He."
"Right, right, let’s talk about something else. Xiao Nian, what brings you to the provincial capital this time? How long are you planning to stay?"
"Uncle He, as I mentioned before, I’m here to talk business with your supermarket. As for how long I’ll stay, that depends on how the negotiations go."
"Oh? I remember you mentioned a farm. Is it one your family runs?"
"That’s right. Our farm is hoping to become a supplier for your supermarket’s produce section. The previous Manager Liu wasn’t in a position to make that decision, but I trust you are, Uncle He?"
