  “Chairman Zhu, Feng Yu, is the one in charge of the beverage alliance. He is back in China now and you should look for him. I still have something on, and I will make a move now.” Zhong Qingxian said and walked away, ignoring Zhu Shuangyin’s calls.

  Feng Yu was right. Zhu Shuangyin was only a Divisional level officer, and he thought he is a high-ranking leader! In Zhejiang, Zhong Qingxian is well respected even by the Provincial Governor!

  Zhu Shuangyin was furious. Zhong Qingxian dares to ignore him! He is only a businessman, and how dare he go against a government official?! He doesn’t know his contract with the Sports Administration had been stopped? Also, who does Feng Yu thinks he is?

  Zhu Shuangyin had received some ‘benefits’ from the two Taiwanese companies and had to help them. Once this matter is resolved, he will receive more from the companies.

  Let me settle this issue first, and I will settle the score later!

  “Hello, Feng Yu? I am Zhuang Zhuangyin. Where are you now?”


  “Oh, Chairman Zhu? I am busy right not. Is there anything?” Feng Yu asked.

  Zhu Shuangyin cursed in his heart. You don’t know why I am looking for you?

  “Come to my office immediately!”


  Feng Yu sneered when he heard Zhu Shuangyin’s tone. He really thinks he is somebody?! Interfering with the industry? Who gave him permission to do this?

  “I’m sorry. I got no time. I am very busy now. If you are really urgent, you can come and look for me.” Feng Yu calmly replied.

  Zhu Shuangyin took a few deep breaths: “Fine! I will go and look for you now! Where are you?”


  Feng Yu told Zhu Shuangyin the address and hang up. After hanging up, Zhu Shuangyin had a sinister expression on his face. Feng Yu, after I get back the money for the Taiwanese companies, I will take care of you!

  ……


  “Manager Feng, sorry to let you wait.”


  “I have just arrived not long ago. Director Fang, have a seat. Try this Hongguan Yuanli drink. This is specially designed for athletes and can replenish their Electrolytes and water.” Feng Yu passed a can of Hongguan Yuanli to Director Fang.

  This beverage is designed for sportsmen, and it means it is a healthy drink for long term consumption. This drink is better than Jianlibao as some athlete feedback that they felt bloated after drinking Jianlibao.

  Director Fang took a sip, and the taste is similar to Jianlibao. Both drinks were orange favored, but Hongguan Yuanli is not carbonated and not very sweet.

  “You called me over just for this beverage?” Director Fang put down the can and asked.

  “This is only one of the reasons. The components of this Hongguan Yuanli drink are exactly the same as overseas sports drinks and I think this can be our Olympic Games team beverage. Of course, I know our National team had already signed a contract with Jianlibao, but we can still offer them both beverages. Jianlibao can be given to the coaches, team doctors, etc. and this drink can be given to the athletes.”


  “You should speak to the Sports Administration. I am not in charge of these.” Director Fang was curious about why Feng Yu asked him out to talk about these.

  “I know I should not bother you over these trivial matters. What I wanted to say is the Sports Administration Community had agreed to let us sponsor this drink, but the leader of the Beverage Industry Association stopped this contract.” Feng Yu said.

  “They have the authority to interfere with this matter?” Director Fang frowned. That Beverage Industry Association is only to coordinate matters involving the industry. How can they interfere with companies’ contracts?”


  “Who knows? But the leaders at the Sports Administration asked us to sort out ourselves. Jianlibao had agreed to Lehaha sponsoring Hongguan Yuanli, and Lehaha had compensated Jianlibao. The Sports Administration does not need to pay a single cent and everything will be sponsored by Lehaha. This should be an ordinary business transaction, but now, the authorities are interfering. I have no choice but to seek help from you.” Feng Yu said.

  “I will help you ask around to find out what is going on. This should not be the only reason why you asked me out, right?” Director Fang asked.

  “There is one more matter which involves Taiwanese companies and the Chairman of the Beverage Industry Association. This is supposed to be business-related as the Taiwanese Companies had breached the contract and we held the payments to them as compensations. CCTV’s had reported on this two days ago but those two Taiwanese companies are not giving up.”


  Tongyi and Kang Shifu had used their connections to get the leaders to pressure the alliance to release their payments. Let’s see who’s backing is stronger! If you want to settle this commercially, I welcome it. You want to make use of politics? I can also win!

  Director Fang frowned. This matter involved Taiwanese companies and got to take caution. Anything related to Taiwan is very sensitive. If an American or Russian company is involved, there will be no problems, but Taiwanese companies will have complications.

  “Can’t you all settle this amicably? We are all fellow Chinese and should not strain our relationship.”


  “Director Fang, we treated them as our fellow Chinese, but did they see us as the same? We are venturing overseas to create wealth for our country and increasing our people’s income. But what about them? They had surrendered to the US! We must be reasonable, and we are in the right. Why should we give in to them?” Feng Yu said.

  Director Fang frowned. China’s relationship with Taiwan is on the verge of falling out, and this matter can be used to test Taiwan’s attitude towards China.

  “You said the leader of the beverage industry association is interfering in this matter?”


  Before Feng Yu could answer, their private dining room’s door was pushed open. Zhu Shuangyin entered without knocking.

  “Feng Yu, I can’t even call you over to see me? I am ordering you to return the payments with interests to the Taiwanese companies immediately!”


  Zhu Shuangyin entered the room and saw Feng Yu with another man whose back was facing him. He did not think much and thought that man was just another businessman. Which businessman dares to go against him?

  “Chairman Zhu, they had breached the contract, and we are just acting based on what was agreed upon in the first place. I am also a committee member of the Association. The association does not have the right to interfere in this matter.” Feng Yu replied.

  “The association cannot interfere, but I can! Let me tell you, don’t think Lehaha and Jianlibao are doing well now and you all can ignore my orders. I am the one who stopped the sponsorship contract between Yuanli beverage and the Sports Administration! If you still insist on going against my orders, I will force Lehaha to stop production for their tea beverage! I am not afraid to let you know that I am giving those Taiwanese companies special treatment!” Zhu Shuangyin said arrogantly.

  Feng Yu did not say anything and smiled at Zhu Shuangyin.

  Zhu Shuangyin was furious. Since you want to go against me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!

  “Feng Yu, you are asking for it! You will receive a 1 million fine from the association!” Zhu Shuangyin said.

  “What is this fine for, and which unit will be issuing the fine?” A man asked.

  “We are talking here and why the f**k are you interrupting…… Fang… Director Fang?!” Zhu Shuangyin was about to scold that man when his knees suddenly go weak. He nearly kneels down in front of Director Fang.

  Why is Director Fang here? He is supposed to be Iron-fist Zhu’s assistant. Why is he sitting together with Feng Yu? Director Fang had heard everything earlier, and I even scolded him!

  Zhu Shuangyin felt the world was collapsing around him. He knew his career and life were over!
