Chapter 1124: Aggrieved Li Daoyu

“You… you’ve gone too far!”

Li Daoyu seemed to clench his teeth to the point of breaking, his eyes were red and his chest heaved.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

Xu Shaochen’s tone was very calm, and it was precisely this calm tone that inflicted more critical damage.

“It seems like there’s a misunderstanding or maybe you’re having trouble understanding?” Xu Shaochen tilted his head and looked at him, “I was just asking you to buy some strawberries, how did it become bullying you?”

“What if I don’t buy them?” Li Daoyu said through gritted teeth.

Xu Shaochen smiled, looked at him earnestly, and said, “If you don’t buy them, then I’ll really be bullying you.”

After saying this, Xu Shaochen lowered his head and leisurely sipped his tea, directly ignoring him.

Li Daoyu stared at Xu Shaochen intently, veins bulging on his arms, his breathing growing more rapid.

This situation lasted for about two minutes.

“Will you buy them?” Xu Shaochen asked, raising his head.

“Buy!” Li Daoyu squeezed the word out through clenched teeth.

With the fiercest expression, he spoke the most cowardly words.

“Fine, pay the deposit first. It’s not easy for the farmers to grow strawberries, don’t cheat them, you wicked capitalist.”

Xu Shaochen’s meaning was clear, saying you’ll buy doesn’t count, you need to shell out the money.

Li Daoyu felt like his lungs were about to explode, he shouted hysterically, “I don’t lack this money!”

“If you don’t take it out, how would anyone know if you do or don’t?” Xu Shaochen showed an innocent expression.

Li Daoyu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, “How much?”

“No rush, I’ll ask.”

After saying this, Xu Shaochen took out his phone and dialed Uncle Wang’s number from Liushu Township.

“Beep~ beep~ beep~”

After some busy signals, the call was connected.

“Hello, Uncle Wang, I’ve got a buyer for the strawberries. How much are there in the township? Let’s not go cheap, just sell at market price.”

Xu Shaochen was expansive and very generous, after all, as he said, it’s not easy for farmers to make money.

The key point is that this isn’t his money.

“Understood?! Thank you, Mr. Xu, thank you so much! I’ve calculated that the strawberries from our township amount to about eight hundred thousand.”

Eight hundred thousand worth of goods isn’t much, but in Yunquan County there indeed isn’t a fruit merchant who could consume so much in one go.

It’s not a matter of having that much money, it’s a matter of not having the channels to sell it all.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll arrange for someone to come to your township to collect the goods.”

After saying this, Xu Shaochen hung up and then tilted his chin at Li Daoyu, “You heard it, eight hundred thousand deposit.”

Li Daoyu’s eyes widened instantly, “What? Nonsense, clearly it’s eight hundred thousand full payment!”

“Do you have any decency? What comes out of your mouth is nonsense. It’s eight hundred thousand full payment, but don’t I get a broker fee as a middleman?”

Xu Shaochen rolled his eyes and spoke matter-of-factly.

“I… fine, fine, you’re right, you’re always right, satisfied?”

Li Daoyu originally wanted to argue, but thinking it over, arguing was useless. He could only swallow his anger.

Am I begging you to sell me strawberries? “Since you think I’m always right, that’s enough. Leave, you’re annoying me standing here.”

Xu Shaochen waved his hand as if driving away a fly.

Li Daoyu gave him a deep look, didn’t leave a harsh word, and left feeling furious.

Because he knew harsh words were useless and only brought trouble on himself.

But this matter wasn’t over, he definitely wouldn’t let it slide.

After leaving the hotel, he called Wang Sheng with his phone, “Second Young Master, I ran into Xu Shaochen today…”

He narrated the incident in detail, of course, adding embellishments and focusing on certain parts.

For example, the conflict originally arose over that piece of land.

He exaggerated it as Xu Shaochen looking down on Wang Sheng and Tianqing.

“Okay, got it. Forget about that land, find another spot.”

Wang Sheng replied calmly.

Li Daoyu was dumbfounded, only recovering after a while, “No way, Second Young Master, how can you brush this off…”

This wasn’t what he imagined.

Wang Sheng should have been furious, ready to confront Xu Shaochen, combining past grudges with new ones. Why was he so calm?

“What else can we do besides brush it off? Can you get my face back?”

Wang Sheng retorted with annoyance, he was filled with anger but had self-awareness, fearing future confrontations with Xu Shaochen.

Hearing this, Li Daoyu was speechless.

If he could handle it, he wouldn’t have called Wang Sheng.

“Alright, hanging up.”

Wang Sheng ended the call irritably.

“Beep~ beep~ beep~”

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Li Daoyu stood motionless for a while, his expression fluctuating.

Wang Sheng’s unexpected reaction startled him, clearly terrified of Xu Shaochen. No hope for help reclaiming his dignity.

“Damn! I have to grit my teeth and accept this.”

Fuming, Li Daoyu said, grinding his teeth, although he felt deeply aggrieved and helpless.

Without a powerful backer, he wasn’t qualified to compete with Xu Shaochen.

The more he thought about it, the more resentment brewed in his heart.

Towards Xu Shaochen and Wang Sheng alike.

To put it bluntly, he was like a dog, a war dog loyal to his master.

After being bullied, he sought help from his master.

But his master not only refused to back him but also scolded him, causing imbalance in his heart. Could such a master protect him in the future?

Li Daoyu began to rethink his position.

“Damn it, Wang Sheng, you betrayed me first.”

Li Daoyu said through clenched teeth, hesitating slightly before dialing another number.

“Daoyu, why did you call me? Something troubling you?”

After connecting the call, a steady, deep male voice came from the phone, soothing like a spring breeze.

Hearing his name accurately, Li Daoyu seemed flattered, though the man wasn’t present, he automatically lowered his back respectfully, “Young Master, I’m surprised you kept my number. I’m truly flattered.”

Indeed, on the other end was Wang Lan’s eldest son, the eldest young master of Tianqing, Wang Sheng’s elder brother.

His name was Wang Zhanhang.
