Chapter 207: Scrap Station, Pulling Liu Zheng
Liu Xiang felt relieved after she had scolded the person, so that the person wouldn’t be so self-righteous as to run up to her and provoke her without even considering whether he had the ability to do so.

Liu Li was indeed feeling aggrieved. She looked at her with eyes full of resentment. Why did all the good things get taken by their family?

What’s the difference between her and Liu Xiang?

It’s bad enough that her family background isn’t as good as hers, but the person she’s looking for is such a capable person. The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

She is obviously very pretty and easily attracts the attention of the young men in the village, so why does she encounter setbacks when she gets to know Tan Shaoyang?
She had delivered herself to the door, but was actually scolded. The thought of it made her angry. She didn’t think there was anything wrong in stealing her cousin’s man. As long as she lived a comfortable life, she wouldn’t mind other people’s opinions!
What she didn’t know was that the young men in the village were no match for Tan Shaoyang in terms of ability. There was such a huge difference between them, yet they dared to compare them.

Different people have different perspectives, so their approaches will naturally be different.

How could Tan Shaoyang fall for a person whose mind and eyes are full of calculations? He is not blind and has no vision at all. He can see through the intentions of such a clown just by jumping in front of him.

Tan Shaoyang is not a soft-hearted person because he can do what he has now. Since Liu Li dared to plot against him, she must bear the consequences.

Isn’t she a man of rare character? Then let her be trained!
So that when you see a man, it’s like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Tan Shaoyang arranged the matter quietly, so that the person would be punished but would not use this matter to disgust Liu Xiang.

Grandpa Liu’s funeral came to a close with the help of the villagers.

The group was about to leave.

Before leaving, Tan Shaoyang found Liu Zheng, the only outstanding one in the second branch of the Liu family. Sometimes genes are crucial, and different mothers will give birth to different children.

Liu Zheng and Liu Li are half-sisters, and the two are the most obvious comparison. One is smart and good at hiding, while the other is arrogant and self-righteous. Different people will go to different crossroads in life.

“Brother Zheng, what do you think of the original proposal?”

“I want to open a scrap factory. I will be responsible for the investment and you will be responsible for the management. In the early stage when it is not ready, you have to come to my house to buy the scraps.”

“When the scrap factory becomes bigger and stronger, the villagers will consciously go to the scrap station to trade. Then, you will return to the factory and take charge of the overall situation.”

“We’ll split the profits in half. If we can’t make it work, and fail, I’ll take full responsibility.”

“Grandpa Liu is gone, and it’s awkward for you to stay at home. You can consider finding a place that will give you a place to stay and allow you to realize your ambitions.”

Liu Zheng raised his eyes and looked straight at him, his eyes were clear and there was a hint of inquiry in them, “Why did you choose me?”

“I probably wasn’t the best choice.”

Tan Shaoyang smiled, “Two reasons. First, you are Liu Xiang’s cousin. It is better to promote your own people than others. It will also make my partner look at me with a higher regard.”

“Secondly, I have high hopes for you. You are a promising young man who is just lying dormant. You need space to display your talents. I am willing to spend money on you and hope to gain something in return.”

“Anyway, I don’t care how you mess around. Whether I make a profit or a loss, it’s fine. I can bear the consequences. After all, it doesn’t cost much to buy scraps. I’ll just treat it as a test.”

“Of course, you will be at a disadvantage because you have to do the labor, while I only spend money and don’t get involved at all.”

“Think about it. If you’re willing, we can sign an agreement. During the cooperation period, no matter what you buy, we’ll split the profits equally.”

“If I lose, I don’t want you to bear a single cent. Of course, I definitely hope to make money. We are a team, and if I can make money, you can make money too.”

Faced with such a huge pie falling from the sky, it was hard for Liu Zheng to refuse to take it. Just as Tan Shaoyang said, he would be very embarrassed at home and there would be no room for him to stay.

If he doesn’t become self-reliant and strong, his life will be mediocre. In this case, why not give it a try?

If Tan Shaoyang dared to believe him, why couldn’t he believe himself?

So what if he bought scrap? He would definitely be able to make a living.

No matter how hard it is, he is not afraid of it.

He did it because it gave him a place to stay and the hope of making money.

“Okay, I promise you.”

Tan Shaoyang smiled and said, “Then pack your bags and leave immediately. I believe you don’t want to stay here.”

They will not stay tomorrow to thank the chef, and all the meat served today will be distributed to the people who helped. This can be considered as another way of expressing gratitude.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to leave, Uncle Liu came running out and shouted that the gift money had not been distributed yet, and that his opinion was not asked when the meat was distributed to the villagers.

Father Liu looked at his only brother with disappointment in his eyes, “Are you sure you want to calculate the gift money? After calculating the gift money, share the money that should be shared.”

“Every penny counts, let’s count them!”

“The gift money was all in the account book, and the expenses were clearly stated. The gift money was 140 yuan, and the expenses were 230 yuan. After Li Jinping shared the expenses, each person still had to pay 45 yuan.”

“Do you want to pay now or when?”

“After you pay the money, we can discuss the division of the meat. After all, you have to pay to have a say.”

“If you don’t want to pay, then don’t worry about these trivial matters. After all, you didn’t get involved from beginning to end.”

After hearing this, Uncle Liu’s face froze. Why was the gift money so little?

I thought there would be some left, but I didn’t know I would have to fill it up again.

In that case, why bother? It’s impossible to ask him to pay for it.

The only thing is that it’s a pity to waste the meat. If we keep it for ourselves, we can eat it till our mouths are drooling!

“Since there is no gift money left, forget it. Big brother, you can make money, but you don’t care about a few dozen yuan. I don’t have much money to earn in the countryside, so you won’t argue with me, right?”

Father Liu was too lazy to even look at his expression. He was spoiled and always spoke and acted excessively. If he had taken it to heart, he would have been angry to death.

She looked at him with cold eyes and snorted, “Sometimes when you take advantage of someone, you should hide yourself better and don’t show up to make a fool of yourself.”

“We are brothers, and I don’t mind your behavior, but be careful when you go out, and don’t get beaten up one day.”

After saying this, Father Liu led his people away without paying any attention to him at all. He became more and more unreliable as he grew older.

Some things are known to everyone, so there is no need to make a big fuss about them, making others laugh at you and be looked down upon for nothing.

It’s not that she can’t afford these dozens of dollars, but there’s no need to argue about it. Her future son-in-law is still here, and she doesn’t want to be laughed at and tarnish Liu Xiang’s reputation.

Liu’s mother was also very aggrieved. She turned around and left without staying for a moment. She would feel aggrieved if she stayed any longer. They were a group of people who had planned everything out.

And so, they left in a grand manner.

Liu Zheng followed him out and no one noticed. This was enough to show how despised he was at home.

Uncle Liu didn’t care. It was better to leave. He would have to eat more food if he stayed at home.

Plus, his wife dislikes him and stays at home, being sarcastic all day long, which affects the atmosphere.

It would be better if he left and was no longer an eyesore. After all, he was his son, so how could he not take care of him and see him to the end of his life?
Look at the eldest brother, wasn’t he kicked out a long time ago? Now that his father is gone, he rushes back to take care of things. With such a lesson learned, he is even less afraid!

All I can say is that Uncle Liu’s idea is dangerous.

Mr. Liu has a respectable job, so he has to do it even if it means saving his reputation. He cannot allow people to cause trouble at his workplace, so as not to affect him.

But Liu Zheng is different. He wants to make money with his own ability. So what if no one cares about him in the future?
After all, there’s no harm in listening to gossip.

As long as you are hard-hearted enough, you can completely ignore it.

All I can say is that you will suffer the consequences of your own actions, and you will have to bear the consequences yourself.

Tan Shaoyang sent the Liu family back home.

Then he led Liu Zheng back to the old house and said, “Brother Zheng, stay here for tonight! I will take you to see the factory tomorrow, and then you can decide when to start work.”

“The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, or we can wait until after the New Year.”

Liu Zheng shook his head and said, “Let’s go see the factory first, and then we’ll go and buy it.”

“I’m single and have nothing to do, so I might as well go around and collect some goods!”

Tan Shaoyang nodded and said, “I’ll get you a bicycle. You can learn to ride it first, and then you can ride it to the village to collect goods. This way you can collect more goods.”

“You can live in the factory or here.”

As soon as Tan Shaoyang finished speaking, Liu Zheng replied, “I live over there in the factory building and I’m guarding the gate.”

Tan Shaoyang nodded. Having a bicycle is always convenient. “That was originally a factory. Now private business is encouraged. I bought it. It’s a mess inside and I haven’t cleaned it up yet. I’ll hand it over to you to manage it when the time comes.”

“As for the plaque for the scrapyard, I will have someone arrange it later. You don’t need to worry about these formalities.”

After making all the arrangements, I rested for a night.

I’ve been running around these days and I’m tired.

Even though Tan Shaoyang was in good health, he felt sleepy after sleeping in the car all the time, and it was comfortable for him to lie on the bed.

The moment you lie down, you sigh comfortably.

I slept soundly again.

The moment I opened my eyes, I heard noises coming from the kitchen.

Liu Zheng prepared breakfast quickly and skillfully. Practice makes perfect and it was obvious that he was used to doing it.

Tan Shaoyang seemed to be feeling quite guilty. It was a hard-to-explain feeling to have his future boss cook for him.

In the end, he was defeated by his thick-skinned idea. He asked Liu Zheng to cooperate with him. He would be one of the richest people in the future. It was just a meal and he couldn’t feel guilty.

With a smile on his face, he greeted him warmly, “Good morning, Brother Zheng. You can have breakfast right after waking up. Brother Zheng is really diligent. I am just enjoying it shamelessly.”

Nothing you say is right, the safest thing to do is to treat it with a normal attitude.

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment. For the first time, he felt something was not taken for granted. He was even praised. All of this was brought to him by Tan Shaoyang. He felt a sour feeling in his chest.

He secretly thought in his heart that he must not let the other party down and must do something to help the other party make money.

This way we will not underestimate his investment.

After the meal, Tan Shaoyang took him to the factory.

He had taken over the place he had taken his eyes on early on in the shortest possible time, and was waiting for Liu Zheng to realize his ambitions!
Since they all know that the other party can become a wealthy man in their area with his own abilities, wouldn’t they regret it for the rest of their lives if they missed the opportunity?
He would never miss it anyway.

Only someone like Liu Zheng, who has been tempered since childhood, will be resilient enough to survive against the odds and create a unique legacy.

If you are strong enough in character and do not get discouraged, but become more courageous after setbacks, you will have the courage to venture out.

The place Tan Shaoyang brought him to was a cloth factory, where various vats were placed, and bamboo poles were interspersed among them. It looked rather shabby because there was no one around.

There are high walls around it, so security is guaranteed, which is why he chose this place.

At least it won’t be easily climbed over, which provides an extra layer of protection.

The moment Liu Zheng saw the factory building, his eyes widened.

“This place is so spacious!” I couldn’t stop looking at it. There was a spacious yard outside and a factory building inside, which was more than enough to store waste!
Tan Shaoyang followed him lazily and said casually, “Anyway, this is the only place, you can do whatever you want. If you can live here, then live here. If you can’t, then go live at home.”

Liu Zheng took a look and was extremely satisfied, but his chest still felt sore. He now had a place to stay in the future. “I’ll live here.”

This is not only a factory, but also his place of residence. It gives him a unique feeling. He must make a name for himself and cannot give up, even for his own sake.

Tan Shaoyang nodded and did not force him. It was better not to go. It would not interfere with him and Liu Xiang. “Then go ahead and pick a suitable room!”

“It’s OK to store waste outside the house anyway. There’s no need to store it in the house.”

Living alone can definitely be very comfortable.

After checking, there was still storage space inside, and even a lot of cloth. The wood at this time was very tough and could be sold. Wouldn’t that bring in funds?
“Brother Zheng, take any of these fabrics and make some suitable clothes. You must take good care of your body so that you can have the confidence to venture out.”

“Being sick would affect progress, which would be more trouble than gain.”

“We bought the fabric along with the factory, so we can’t bear to use it.”

Tan Shaoyang picked and chose, and selected a few horses, intending to take them back to Liu Xiang, and also to bring his family back.

After picking, the remaining ones are sold.

Liu Zheng has not yet made a name for himself with his own abilities and is still restricted. In his opinion, these fabrics will cost a lot of money, so how can he bear to spend that money?

Tan Shaoyang simply picked out two pieces for him and repeatedly reminded him that the clothes must be made.

People who come to buy scrap cannot be naked, as this will make them look like they are not willing to pay for it.

Liu Zheng showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he relaxed only after seeing that Tan Shaoyang was frank and not giving alms.

After making the selection, Tan Shaoyang returned and drove his truck to take the items away. He then advertised them in the town. The prices were low and they were in great demand. All the items were sold out in just the morning.

The money earned was given directly to Liu Zheng, who held it in his hands, his hands trembling.

Tan Shaoyang also brought a lot to the Liu family. They were all carefully selected. He could keep them for making clothes or give them to others.
