"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Rui glared at him.

"I'm telling the truth." Li Qiang said in a hurry: "As a man, who doesn't want to find a woman who is gentle and dependent? Who would willingly choose a woman who is always fierce and aggressive?"

"Are you saying... I should be more gentle?" Zhou Rui asked.

"Exactly." Li Qiang nodded and said, "If you were gentler, with your beauty and figure, Brother Chuan would definitely not escape from your grasp."

Zhou Rui thought about it and realized there was some truth in it, just like in Korean dramas, didn't all the female lead characters win the male lead's heart with their gentleness? Thinking about it, it seemed like Li Qiang made a lot of sense. While thinking it over, Zhou Rui walked back to her office and downloaded a "Love Guide" from her computer, studying it carefully whenever she had time.

......

Changlin Factory, in that vast expanse of the factory.

Zhou Kai and his group had gathered because they had been very busy with recent events, so their training had been delayed. For Zhou Kai and his group, after several months of training, their abilities had significantly improved.

"Da Pao, have you seen Liu Cheng lately?" Zhou Kai asked while sitting on a worn-out chair, "Haven't seen the kid for several days now."

"Haven't noticed." Lu Dapao shook his head.

"Strange." Zhou Kai looked puzzled and said, "Could this kid have run into some trouble again?"

"A big guy like him, what trouble could he be in?" Lu Dapao shook his head disdainfully and said, "He isn't some pretty girl for you to worry this much about."

"That's not the point." Zhou Kai smiled and said, "After all, he's our brother. If anything happens, we should look after him."

While they were chatting, Liu Cheng, pumped up as if he had been injected with adrenaline, walked in from outside.

"Look, speak of the devil and he shall appear," Lu Dapao laughed out loud.

At that moment, Liu Cheng ran in excitedly. Zhou Kai couldn't wait to ask, "Liu Cheng, where have you been these past few days? Why didn't we see you around?"

"I was attending classes!" Liu Cheng hurriedly said, "I have a cousin who recently came back from Guangxi, all dressed up in a suit and driving a Porsche, really making everyone envious. Guess how much money he made in Guangxi?"

"How much?" everyone asked curiously.

Money is a sensitive topic, capable of involuntarily stirring various thoughts. As soon as money was mentioned, it immediately piqued everyone's interest.

"One million and forty thousand." Liu Cheng's eyes widened as he said, "My goodness, if I could make that much money in my lifetime, it would be enough for me."

"What does he do?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"Supposedly some investment, capital operations." Liu Cheng said excitedly, "I'm planning to join him, what do you think? Are you guys interested?"

"Is the money coming in that fast?" Lu Dapao became excited.

"Of course!" Liu Cheng nodded rapidly and said, "The initial investment is just sixty-nine thousand eight hundred. After three years, you can get one million and forty thousand. How about that?"

"Damn, only a fool would refuse!" Lu Dapao hurriedly said, "I'm going to withdraw money immediately, give it to your cousin, let him help me invest, and after three years I'll take my share."

"Stop messing around," Liu Cheng looked at Lu Dapao with annoyance, "It's not as simple as you think. You need to recruit underlings, it's a pyramid scheme. Each person needs to develop three underlings, and after three years, you can share one million and forty thousand."

Lu Dapao was stunned, is it really that simple? He himself had so many underlings, it would be easy to get three people. After three years, he could share so much money. Lu Dapao was somewhat tempted.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Kai poured cold water from the side, "Liu Cheng, don't you dare bring disaster upon your own brothers."

"How am I bringing disaster upon my brothers?" Liu Cheng retorted.

"This is a pyramid scheme." Zhou Kai said solemnly.

"Nonsense." Liu Cheng shook his head, "This is not a pyramid scheme, it's capital operation, a project supported by the state, a major national project from Heng'an in the northern bay of Guangxi. Just put your money in, and you can make a huge profit. If you don't believe me, just wait and see me get rich."

"Liu Cheng, I advise you to be careful," Zhou Kai spoke, "Be careful not to lose everything."

"If you don't believe it, forget it." Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "By the way, settle my wages for the last few months. I'm planning to go to Guangxi with my cousin tomorrow. I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place anymore!"

Liu Cheng was intent on making a fortune; he had never changed this mindset in his life. A man's life is nothing but a struggle for two things: money and women. Everything they do is in service of these two things. Unfortunately, this guy had never taken the right path, always thinking about making a quick buck. Even when he robbed back in the day, it was for making money.

Zhou Kai frowned and said, "Liu Cheng, think it over carefully."

"I've thought it through very clearly." Liu Cheng said somewhat angrily, "Don't block my way to fortune."

In the factory, more than a dozen brothers were silent, not a peep, the vast factory seemed able to echo their breathing sounds.

After a long while, Zhou Kai replied, "Alright, I'll go and find Little Chili to settle your account."

After speaking, Zhou Kai turned around and left.

Liu Cheng had an annoyed look on his face, wearing displeasure throughout. Lu Dapao and others came forward to persuade, but it seemed this young man was determined to follow his cousin to Guangxi and strongly wanted to withdraw from the group.

Soon, Zhou Kai gave Liu Cheng two months' salary.

"Here, a total of eight thousand six hundred." Zhou Kai put the money in a brown paper envelope.

"Alright." Liu Cheng nodded, pocketed the money, and then turned and walked away.

"Liu Cheng!" Zhou Kai suddenly called out to him.

"What else is there?" Liu Cheng asked impatiently.

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to call the brothers." Zhou Kai replied, "No matter what, we are always brothers, aren't we?"

Liu Cheng furrowed his brows, then turned around and stepped out.

A bunch of people shook their heads helplessly.

"Kai, you've poured your heart out for him and this is what you get in the end," Lu Dapao snorted coldly.

"Well, anyway, Liu Cheng is always our brother," Zhou Kai said helplessly. "Actually, I understand how he feels."

"What do you mean?" Lu Dapao asked.

Zhou Kai smiled, saying: "He's a few years older than us. But here, his status is not as high as ours. It's a psychological gap for him."

Zhou Kai was right.

Ever since they were children, Zhou Kai had always been following Liu Cheng, treating him almost like an elder brother and always obeying him. After Liu Cheng was arrested and later released, he found that Zhou Kai, who had always obeyed him, was now making good money.

Later on, although Liu Cheng also joined Zhou Kai's team, he realized he would always just be a subordinate to others. Even Zhou Kai, who had always obeyed him, had a higher status. He envied Lin Chuan who could call the shots in the eastern city district and always had beauties around him. Thus, Liu Cheng always felt lost.

This time, when his cousin came back from Guangxi and slightly brainwashed him, he quickly fell in and could not extricate himself. He vowed that he must make money, a lot of money, and then make Zhou Kai and the others envy him, make Lin Chuan jealous of him.

When Liu Cheng left, he was determined, going to Guangxi with his cousin. He decided that he must do something remarkable, and even if not earth-shattering, he must at least make a fortune. He must return to his hometown adorned in silks and satins one day.

Liu Cheng left, and Zhou Kai felt somewhat melancholic, but this melancholy was only momentary. After all, the other party was also striving for his own future.

"Let it be, if he's gone." Lu Dapao patted Zhou Kai's shoulder, saying, "It's really not worth feeling sad for such a person."

"Yeah!" Zhou Kai nodded.

"Come on, let's go for some skewers!" Lu Dapao hooked Zhou Kai's shoulder.

Just when this bunch of guys was about to head out, a mysterious black figure approached the factory stealthily. The guy was thin and tall, holding a briefcase, his hair meticulously parted in the middle. His expression exaggerated.

"Liu Jianjun, why do I feel like we're here to steal?" Behind this guy, there were also two workers wearing safety helmets.

"Shh…" Liu Jianjun quickly hushed, saying: "This place has been monopolized by some people, but the machinery inside still belongs to me. I need to figure out a way to get it out."

"I see!" Several workers quickly nodded.

After entering, Liu Jianjun excitedly looked at the three large machines, grinning and saying, "See, these few machines, indeed, are very good."

The two workers walked around the machines, constantly praising: "Not bad, not bad, American machines imported in the eighties, tsk tsk, the materials are indeed solid. Good quality."

"What do you think?" Liu Jianguo smiled and said: "We can talk about the price."

"But… this thing is so huge, how do we move it out?" The workers hurriedly asked, looking curiously around and quickly saying, "To get this thing out, we definitely need to tear down this wall first."

Liu Jianguo was stunned, quickly shaking his head, saying: "That would make too much noise."

"Then what do we do?" The two asked eagerly.

"Lift the roof." Liu Jianguo pointed towards the roof above them and then said: "Just take apart the roof, and everything will be accomplished."

"Makes sense." The two nodded.

"Let's scout the area first." Liu Jianguo hurriedly said: "Quickly record it, and we'll demolish it later."

"Okay!" The two quickly raised their cameras and started taking photos.
