At this time, Zhang Wenhui, with his round belly, staggered out of the room and asked, "Who's here?"

"Brother Zhang, it's me." Zhou Qi waved and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Zhang Wenhui wondered in his heart: Who is this?

He had no impression of Zhou Qi. He frowned slightly and walked out the door while looking at him.

"Sister-in-law, please go ahead and do your thing. I want to have a private chat with Brother Zhang." Zhou Qi pretended to be intimate, put his hand on Zhang Wenhui's shoulder, and pulled him out of the door.

Zhang Wenhui was completely confused.

He was racking his brains to recall who Zhou Qi was.

"Then you talk."

After Zhang Wenhui’s wife finished speaking, she went straight back to the yard.

Zhang Wenhui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do we know each other?"

Zhou Qi chuckled, handed over a cigarette, and took one himself but did not light it. Instead, he handed the lighter to Zhang Wenhui and said, "Brother Zhang, can you light a cigarette for me?"

Zhang Wenhui was stunned. As the deputy director of a cotton mill, when had he ever lit a cigarette for anyone? His face suddenly darkened.

I muttered to myself: Who are you?

Zhou Qi pulled Zhang Wenhui to the side, shielded him from the wind with his hands, and lowered his voice to say, "Aimin Road, Xingfu Building, is it worth it for you to light this cigarette, Brother Zhang?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhui's face darkened. His affair outside had never been heard by anyone else. How did this guy know so much about it that he even knew the exact address? If this got out, he would be in big trouble.

He gritted his teeth, his voice as cold as ice: "Are you threatening me?"

"Brother Zhang, light my cigarette first. I'm waiting." Zhou Qi said with a grin.

Zhang Wenhui clenched his teeth, feeling uncertain but had to endure it for the time being. With a click, the flame jumped, and Zhou Qi's cigarette was lit.

"Hey, thanks, Brother Zhang." Zhou Qi patted Zhang Wenhui on the shoulder.

Zhao Dagui, who was not far away, saw this scene clearly and was extremely surprised. What was going on? Deputy Director Zhang actually lit a cigarette for someone himself, looking like a younger brother serving his boss. Who was this guy?

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Zhang Wenhui asked coldly.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to threaten you with this. With Brother Zhang's ability, it's a piece of cake for him to deal with me. I dare not show off my skills in front of an expert."

"Humph." Zhang Wenhui snorted coldly, "I'm glad you understand." Zhou Qi chuckled: "I came here today to seek refuge with you, Brother Zhang. If it's convenient, I hope to get your care and make a living."

Ok?

Zhang Wenhui narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Do you want me to arrange for you to work in the factory?"

"How dare I, Brother Zhang? I'm just causing you trouble," Zhou Qi said.

"Then what do you want? Money?" Zhang Wenhui asked.

"That would be a crime." Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, I really don't mean anything else. If someone like me comes to you to ask for help, you probably won't even bat an eyelid. So I have to think of another way."

"Brother, I want to do some cotton business recently. Before I start this business, I have to say hello to you, Brother Zhang. There are some things that Brother Zhang can help with, such as freight. Without you, Brother Zhang, I really can't do it.

Of course, our relationship is our relationship, and business is our business. I won't use the car for nothing. We should be fair and just, and we should settle it as it should be. As for other matters, I am not unreasonable."

Zhang Wenhui is no simple person. Just looking at the person he keeps outside, you can tell that he is no simple man.

That’s right, Zhang Wenhui did have some ulterior motives.

From time to time, he used his power to secretly make some money from the factory.

Otherwise, where would he get the money to live a romantic life outside?

"The transportation fee is calculated separately, and I have to give you a kickback for every truckload of cotton you transport?" Zhang Wenhui asked doubtfully.

I thought Zhou Qi was here to blackmail me, but after talking to him, I realized this was simply a godsend.

"Brother Zhang, I'll just give you a ride and I'll give you 200 yuan for each truckload of cotton. As for you, Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll give you 2,000 yuan as commission for each truckload of cotton. How about that?" Zhou Qi extended an olive branch.

Originally, Zhou Qi's target was Ma Defu. His father was the second-in-command of the steel plant, so getting a few cars was a piece of cake for him.

But now with Zhang Wenhui still holding his power, this business deal can be easily negotiated.

Zhang Wenhui was so happy when he heard this.

His monthly salary is only 500 yuan, and 2,000 yuan per car is simply free money!

Besides, the use of the factory's cars was not strictly checked. Who would notice if they made one more trip or one less trip? For him, this was a piece of cake.

"Brother, are you kidding me?" Zhang Wenhui still couldn't believe it.

It’s not that expensive to rent a car outside, so why do you have to use the cotton mill’s car?

Zhou Qi knew clearly in his mind that the price was high, but it was reasonable.

The cotton mill’s car is a golden signboard.

Can the selling price be the same whether it is listed or not?

To put it bluntly, it means spending a little more money to add gold to your cotton. In the end, you will make the money back from the cotton anyway, so this deal is extremely cost-effective.

Besides, it's obvious that Zhang Wenhui is a guy who's used to taking kickbacks. A relationship built solely through threats won't be solid. Only by being generous will you be able to negotiate with such a person on an equal footing in the future. This is also about building your network.

Therefore, Zhou Qi planned to use the bait of interests to lure Zhang Wenhui, the big fish, into the trap, so that it would be better if they could cooperate in the future.

Only by sacrificing your child can you catch the wolf.

"Brother Zhang, I have to judge people by their appearance even when I joke, right?" Zhou Qi said with a smile, "Brother Zhang may not think highly of me now, but please believe me, as long as we work together once or twice, I promise to make you understand that choosing me as your partner is absolutely the right choice."

"Brother Zhang, can we do this business?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a snap and the flame of the lighter jumped up and was handed to Zhang Wenhui.

Zhang Wenhui pondered for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head and moved closer, bringing the cigarette close to the flame.

"Young man, what's your name?" Zhang Wenhui asked.

"My name is Zhou Qi." Zhou Qi answered happily.

"Okay, remember to notify me in advance before using the car." Zhang Wenhui said as he told Zhou Qi the office phone number.

"Brother Zhang, if it is convenient, could you give me a schedule for cargo transportation? This way I will have an idea and can make preparations in advance." Zhou Qi made a request.

This is internal information of the factory, but Zhang Wenhui thought about it and felt that this request was not excessive.

"Then come again at this time tomorrow," Zhang Wenhui suggested.

"Brother Zhang, there's no need to go to such trouble." Zhou Qi said, "My girlfriend also wants to apply for a job at the cotton mill, and she needs your approval, Brother Zhang."

"Then, when the head of the personnel department hands you the application, you can ask him to take the timetable to Lin Ruixue so that he doesn't have to run back and forth."
