Chapter 185 How could I let you lose!

"Your sister-in-law and I came to this Huaiyang restaurant once before, and I can't forget their signature dishes, crab meat lion's head and squirrel mandarin fish!"

"Try it and see how it tastes!" Chen Peng signaled Su Chen to pick up his chopsticks and try it first.

The crab meat and lion head in this Huaiyang restaurant is not the kind that comes with a large bowl with several lion heads served. Instead, it comes in a small bowl that is the size of a rice bowl, which is just big enough to fit one crab meat and lion head.

A little clear broth paired with a slice of bok choy makes one's appetite whet just by looking at it.

Su Chen didn't hesitate to pick up the spoon and started to eat his portion of crab meat stew.

"Hmm~" Su Chen found that the crab meat lion head was quite chewy, and it would take some force to scoop it out with the spoon.

Su Chen scooped out a small piece and stuffed it directly into the corner of his mouth. To his surprise, the meat inside was extremely soft and the taste was particularly rich. The fragrance of crab meat and the deliciousness of pork were perfectly intertwined together.

"This crab meat and lion's head is indeed a famous Huaiyang dish. It is chewy, tender and really delicious!" Su Chen opened his eyes slightly. This crab meat and lion's head is top-notch in terms of taste and ingredients.

It's not like he hasn't eaten lion's head prepared in five-star hotels before, but the taste and texture were still a little bit inferior to that of this Huaiyang restaurant.

“Hahaha~ As long as it tastes good!” Hearing Su Chen’s praise, Chen Peng laughed out loud. If you didn’t know, you would think that he was the one who made this dish.

Fu Qiaoyu, who was standing by, had a hint of thought in her eyes. It was because her cousin was too calm. You know, a bowl of crab meat and lion's head soup costs three figures. Most people would sigh that it is so expensive when hearing this price.

But Su Chen didn't have the slightest curiosity, and when he ate... or should I say tasted, he chewed slowly, enjoying the touch of the dish on his tongue, not just eating for the sake of eating.

The difference between these two artistic conceptions is not even a little bit.

"Could it be that my cousin has become rich?" As soon as this thought flashed through Fu Qiaoyu's mind, she denied it.

She also knew the situation of Su Chen's family. They were not even a well-off family, but at most a family that could make ends meet.

She has seen a lot of the world and knows that it is not easy to turn things around without connections and help from noble people.

And she thought that Su Chen was eating slowly and chewing his food just now because he was being reserved.

It is said that living in a place changes one's temperament and nourishment changes one's body. Ever since Su Chen obtained the system, the people and things he has come into contact with have been subtly changing his temperament and cultivation, which even Su Chen himself has not noticed.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, don't just stand there, eat too. It won't taste good if it gets cold!" Su Chen noticed that the two were still looking at him, and spoke quickly.

"Eat, eat, eat~ Wife, come and try this squirrel fish~" Chen Peng said as he picked up a piece of the tenderest fish belly for Fu Qiaoyu.

Su Chen, who was standing aside, looked at his cousin's doting expression. A strong breath of love came towards him. Su Chen couldn't help but shudder and felt goose bumps all over his body.

After taking a glance, he no longer paid attention to the lovey-dovey relationship between the two and focused on enjoying the table of Huaiyang delicacies.

The troubles I had heard before also improved a lot under the effect of delicious food.

When they were almost done eating, Chen Peng's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the factory, so he answered the call directly in front of Su Chen.

"What?" Chen Peng stood up suddenly, and the stool flew backwards and hit the wall with a thud.

"How is that possible? Didn't we just sign the lease contract?"

"Okay, I got it. Let's talk when I get back!" After saying that, Chen Peng hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

Fu Qiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, also asked with a serious expression, "Dapeng, is there anything wrong in the factory?"

"It's okay." Chen Peng shook his head, and then he tried to force a smile on his face and said to Su Chen: "Brother, something happened in the factory, and I have to go back to deal with it. You can eat slowly."

After saying that, he gave Fu Qiaoyu a look and pulled her to leave.

Just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Su Chen, "Third brother, I'll go with you. More people will give us more help, right?"

Chen Peng paused and was about to refuse. In his opinion, this matter was not something that a young man like Su Chen could solve, and he would not be able to help much if he went.

Besides, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his younger brother. Maybe this is how men should preserve their reputation.

"Take him with you. You are not fit to drive right now." Fu Qiaoyu advised, then turned to Su Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, you should have a driver's license, right?"

"Well~ It's been three or four years, and I've driven quite a few cars!" Su Chen also understood what his third sister-in-law said. His third brother was angry now, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened on the way back because he was thinking about something.

Since his wife had spoken, Chen Peng nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

After paying the bill, the three of them hurried towards the parking lot near the ancient town.

It was not until he arrived at the parking lot that Su Chen discovered that his third brother's car was actually a Ford Kuga, which cost at least 200,000 yuan. Su Chen also found that the car was very new and had been bought for only about a month at most.

"Third brother, this car is pretty good. It must have cost a lot of money!" Su Chen sat in the driver's seat and looked at it for a moment before saying.

"I bought it before the New Year and spent a total of 220,000 yuan!"

"I was originally planning to drive home for the New Year, but your sister-in-law suddenly found out she was pregnant, so I didn't go back home for the New Year, and the factory business had just been settled."

Chen Peng's face lit up with a smile when talking about this car. You know, he bought the car with his own money. He had originally planned to show it off in the village during the New Year, but plans could not keep up with changes after all.

But when Chen Peng thought about what the factory told him on the phone, the smile on his face instantly turned gloomy.

Seeing this, Su Chen tactfully stopped chatting and drove away after asking for the address.

Kunshan is not far from the ancient town of Tongli where they are. In addition, the factory where Chen Peng and his team are located is close to Suzhou, so the distance is much shorter, about half an hour.

The car was silent all the way, no one spoke. Chen Peng sat in the passenger seat and kept tapping on his cell phone, as if he was chatting with someone to inquire about relevant situations.

By the time Su Chen and his team arrived at the factory, it was already 7:30 in the evening and it had gotten dark.

What surprised Su Chen was that the factory area was particularly lively. Many people working the night shift were walking in groups of three or five towards the various factories. It was very lively. After turning around and around, it seemed that he came to the back of the factory area. The popularity here was not as lively as the front. Only a few scattered factories were still busy.

Soon the car stopped in front of a white factory building.

A signboard with the words "Yupeng Mould Processing Factory" printed on it appeared in Su Chen's sight. Standing at the door were three middle-aged men in their forties smoking. Each of them had a worried look on their face, and their brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

"What's going on, Lao Wang?" As soon as the car stopped, Chen Peng hurriedly opened the door and got out.

When the three people who were smoking saw Chen Peng and Fu Qiaoyu appear, they threw the cigarettes in their hands to the ground and stomped on them twice with their toes, and did not forget to fan the air with their hands to disperse the thick smoke.

"Xiaopeng, you're back~" Lao Wang said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Peng.

Chen Peng looked at Lao Wang in confusion and took the paper.

When Chen Peng opened it, he was dumbfounded. This piece of paper was none other than a notice issued by the factory, informing them that they must move out before tomorrow.

Chen Peng thought it was a scam at first, but when he saw the bright red official seal of the factory office, he felt like a frost-bitten eggplant and his whole body wilted.

"Lao Wang, what is going on? Didn't we just sign a three-year contract with the factory? Why are they suddenly asking us to move out? Is there any misunderstanding here?" Fu Qiaoyu asked anxiously after taking a look at the notice.

You have to know that they had spent a lot of effort on the factory. It took more than half a month just to install the machines. Now they were suddenly notified to move out less than a month after opening. Who could accept this?

Lao Wang sighed and said, "We are not sure either. The factory suddenly issued a notice in the evening. Not only us, but also several factories next to us were notified to move out."

"Huh?" Chen Peng and Fu Qiaoyu looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

I thought that only my family was required to relocate, but I didn’t expect that several neighboring factories would also have to relocate. You know, there are only a few factories in the second half of the factory area. If they were all required to relocate,
There is only one possibility, that is, a large enterprise is preparing to move into this factory.

Chen Peng seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said to Chen Qiaoyu who was standing beside him: "Qiaoyu, can you call Uncle Yang at the factory to ask what's going on?"

This Uncle Yang was introduced by Fu Qiaoyu's second uncle. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort for their small factory to enter the factory area.

Fu Qiaoyu finally reacted after hearing what she said. She quickly took out her cell phone from her bag and called Uncle Yang.

Take two deep breaths and try to calm your nervous mood.

The phone rang for about six or seven seconds before the other end answered.

"Hey~ Uncle Yang, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." There was a hint of flattering in Fu Qiaoyu's voice.

"I just want to ask about the eviction notice the factory sent us. Ah~ You don't know either?"

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Yang. I'll wait for your call tomorrow."

"Uh-huh~ Okay, sorry to bother you, Uncle Yang!"

Fu Qiaoyu's face gradually darkened. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but sigh, "What the hell is going on?"

He turned to look at Yang Peng beside him and told him what he had just said on the phone. "From Uncle Yang's tone, he said it was sent directly from the factory office. He doesn't know the details. Please ask after work tomorrow to see if you can get it."

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope arose in Chen Peng's heart, but it was quickly extinguished.

Uncle Yang is just a middle-level leader of the factory. How can he change the decision of the top management? He doesn't expect to continue running the factory here. He knows how his little arms can stop the big arms of the factory.

I just hope that we can give him more time to find a suitable place to transfer all the equipment and try not to delay the subsequent mold construction period.

"I hope there will be a good result tomorrow!" After sighing a little in his heart, Chen Peng turned to look at Lao Wang and the other two and said, "Lao Wang, you guys go back and have a rest first. We'll see what's going on tomorrow."

Lao Wang and the other two nodded when they heard this. They also knew that there was no good solution at the moment. They were all workers and did not have the connections to help Chen Peng and the others solve this problem.

The three of them greeted each other and disappeared into the night on their electric bikes.

Su Chen had been watching from the side without saying anything. He only walked to Chen Peng's side after the three people left.

When Chen Peng saw Su Chen coming over, he tried to force out a smile but unfortunately he couldn't. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have let you laugh at my brother."

Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said with a smile on his lips: "The boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridgehead. Who knows if there will be a reversal before the last moment!"

"Maybe there will be a turning point!"

Chen Peng and Fu Qiaoyu glanced at Su Chen after hearing this. In particular, the depressed look on Chen Peng's face also dissipated a lot. "Brother, you are right. Let's go to the factory tomorrow to ask. Can we tear up the contract casually after signing it? We should try to fight for the rights we should fight for."

Fu Qiaoyu looked at her husband's fighting spirit and nodded with a smile. The reason why she fell in love with this man who came out of a small village in the foggy city was because of his hard work and his unwillingness to admit defeat!
"Let's go and find a hotel for Xiaochen to settle down first, and then come to the factory tomorrow to solve the problem." Fu Qiaoyu said, holding Chen Peng's hand.

"Uh~" Su Chen originally thought that he would stay at home, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law was planning to arrange him to stay in a hotel.

As if seeing Su Chen's confusion, Chen Peng said a little embarrassedly: "Your sister-in-law and I rented a house here, but the house is a one-bedroom and one-living room. We can't let you sleep on the sofa, so you can only stay in the hotel!"

Su Chen nodded when he heard this. You know, Kunshan is located between Suzhou and Shanghai. Its location is quite unique, which naturally leads to high housing prices. A house costs several million. For those of them who come from other places to make a living, it is just a thought.

With this money, you might as well go back to your hometown and buy a house and a car, and live a comfortable life. Why bother taking on a mortgage of one or two million and struggling to pay it off for decades?

The house that Chen Peng and his friends rented was not far from the factory, only about seven or eight minutes' drive away, and the hotel arranged for Su Chen was also near where they lived. It was a three-star hotel and cost the third brother about two hundred yuan.

Originally, Su Chen was thinking of getting a room by himself, but his third brother gave him a cold look and said that he had to spend money to come here. If his aunt Chen Shufen knew about it, he would not be able to hold his head up and talk when he returned to his hometown. He would be rubbed on the back!

In the end, the third brother Chen Peng had to pay the room fee. He wanted to ask them to go upstairs to have a rest and chat, but they both declined. After this happened, they planned to go back and discuss it carefully to find a way out for themselves.

After sending the two into the car, Su Chen watched Chen Peng drive into the traffic and gradually disappear from sight. Then he turned and walked into the hotel.

Just as he turned around, Su Chen muttered softly, "It seems that my third brother is not bad, so how can I let you lose!"
