He Xiaopeng’s gaze froze.
If that was the case, wouldn’t it be troublesome? Lu Ming Corporation was still in the development stage.
He wondered how they could withstand the suppression of such an influential family.

“You should be able to guess, right? New energy cars and flying cars have made you the target of public criticism.
Everyone knows that once mass production begins, the Lu Ming Corporation will reach its peak.
By then, it will be too late for them to stop you.
Only now can they nip you in the bud.”
Boss Lu mistakenly thought that he had guessed it, so he spoke truthfully.

He Xiaopeng was stunned for a few seconds.
No!?

“I think you should have the answer in your heart.
If Lu Ming Corporation develops, that would be fine, but it’s as fragile as tofu now.
Now, it’s even being suppressed openly by the Tang family in Beijing.
I think we should forget about the partnership.
We can’t develop it.”

Boss Lu paused for a moment before continuing, “Without you, Lu Ming Corporation would not have been able to rise up.
Why the name ‘Lu Ming’? You could have changed the name to Little Peng Automotive.
Your boss didn’t put in much effort to monopolize the fruits of your labor.
Don’t you feel
indignant?”

22?
He Xiaopeng looked at him strangely.
What is this guy talking about?
Could it be that he wants to arouse my dissatisfaction so I will jump ship? he thought.

“Because you’ve already successfully built a smart car and a flying car.
I can guarantee that if you join the Tang family to develop your career, your future will definitely be much brighter than now.
And I’ve already told the higher-ups that as long as you’re willing to come, we can give you a salary three
times the market salary!”

Seeing that he was silent, Boss Lu thought that his heart was starting to waver.
He said, “Your current boss doesn’t treat you well, right? With your talent, you shouldn’t be bowing down to others.
Trust me, if you go to Beijing to develop, it will be better than Shanghai.
With the Tang family’s protection,
you will definitely be able to do well!”

If he could really win He Xiaopeng over, the Tang family would definitely give him many benefits.
Then it wouldn’t be impossible for him to reach the peak of his life in an instant and become a new elite in Beijing.
He might even be able to win the favor of the family’s young missy!
At the thought of this, he could not help but feel tempted.

And he was sure that no one could resist the temptation that he was offering.

“Little Peng, have you thought it through? If you agree, I’ll call the capital now.”

He Xiaopeng hated it when outsiders slandered his boss.
He thought, What do these people know!

Boss Lu did not know anything about Lu Ming, but he was gossiping about him here.
He Xiaopeng’s impression of the person in front of him immediately dropped to negative.

“Thank you for your kind intention, Boss Lu, but I think Lu Ming Corporation suits me very well.
I have no intention of jumping ship.”

‘The unexpected answer made Boss Lu’s expression freeze.
He asked, “Why? The Tang family will treat you several times better than Lu Ming Corporation! Water flows downwards, and people climb upwards.
Don’t tell me you don’t understand this?”

“Tm climbing upwards now.”

He Xiaopeng said firmly, “I will never leave the Lu Ming Corporation!”

“Why?! What did Lu Ming Corporation give you to make you so loyal? Is it really worth it? Don’t you know that this is a rare opportunity?! If you miss it, who knows how long you’ll have to wait!”

Boss Lu asked curiously.

“Lu Ming Corporation is worth it! Initially, when I fell to the bottom of the valley and was about to commit suicide, it was my boss who acknowledged my talent.
All along, it was him who kept throwing money at me.
He even supported the idea of flying a car!”

He Xiaopeng looked at him intently and said, “Without Boss, I’m nothing! I can’t make a new energy car, and I can’t make a flying car.
Perhaps I’ll die in some unknown corner! Boss saved my life and gave me a stage to shine.
These are things that you guys can’t do!”

Boss Lu opened his mouth slowly but could not say anything.

He had no idea what was going on.
He was simply checking out the maker of the new energy car.

“But, but even so, without you, he wouldn’t have earned so much money…”
“Who said so? Even without me, my boss will still have uncountable money! At the very least, I think he is very talented in the manufacturing of cars.
He is a true genius! At the same time, he is the one who made me who I am!”

He Xiaopeng stood up and said, “Thank you for answering my questions.
I’ll get going first.”

Then he left without looking back.

Boss Lu stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
Isn’t the real genius He Xiaopeng? he thought.

It seemed to him that he had miscalculated.

On the way back, the more He Xiaopeng thought about it, the angrier he got.
Why would anyone belittle my boss? Do they even take me seriously?

He smoked a cigarette in frustration.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the phone rang again.
He clicked his tongue.
Is someone here to cancel the contract again?

“Mr.
Fang.”

“T’m here to tell you about the contract termination.
I’ve already prepared the compensation!”

Hearing the happy voice on the other end, He Xiaopeng frowned even more.
“Do you know how much trouble we’ll be in if we cancel the contract now? Since you don’t have the spirit of honoring a contract, then don’t blame me for not looking for you to collaborate next time!”
“Do you think I want to collaborate with you? It’s just a small company that has recently been established.
What’s there to pretend for! But it’s true, who asked you to be in the limelight? I advise you to run quickly.
Don’t get messed with too badly!”

An arrogant male voice came from the other end.

He Xiaopeng’s mood was getting worse.
He said, “You’re just a fence sitter! What’s there to be proud of? Does being with the Tang family make you feel good?”

“Lhave to say, you’re right! All the factories that can provide spare parts have turned to the Tang family.
How do you think you can compare with them? Besides, the Tang family has promised me that as long as I don’t provide you with goods, they will give me several times the number of orders in the
future.
That will be enough to compensate for my losses!”

Several times?

He Xiaopeng caught the drift.
The Tang family couldn’t have that many orders.

“Where did they get so many orders?”

So he asked the question he had.

After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end said smugly, “Why do you care where the Tang family got the orders?! Anyway, it’ll help me earn money, right?”

“From what you’re saying, I’m afraid the background is unknown.”

He Xiaopeng’s lips curled up as he said, “Do you accept money obtained through unscrupulous means? Can you sleep at night?! It seems that the Tang family is just so-so.
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report them?”

“It’s none of your business!”

‘The other party flew into a rage out of humiliation.
“Whether you can survive the current predicament is a question, so don’t even think about reporting us.
And even if you do, it’s useless! How can an ordinary person like you afford to offend the influential Tang family!”
He Xiaopeng choked.
“This is information that came freely from you.
How can you blame me? I have to thank you.
Fortunately, you voluntarily canceled the contract.
Otherwise, I’m afraid the internal news might just spread!”

“Damn it! I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you! When your company collapses, I’ll definitely set off a few firecrackers at the door to celebrate! At that time, I’d like to see how stubborn you can be!”

In the end, the two of them parted on bad terms.
He Xiaopeng even blacklisted him.
Although he had retorted just now, the most important problem was still not solved.
Now that so many people had canceled their partnerships, how could he fill this gap?

It was impossible to build a car without spare parts, and the Tang family was well aware of this.
They did this because they wanted to make it impossible for them to mass produce the car…
