The j.a.panese firms’ representatives left Tai Hua Supermarketheadquarters angrily. They represented a few companies and should be receivingthe best treatment. They never felt so insulted before. They were chased out byTai Hua Supermarket!

Arrogant! Tai Hua Supermarket was too arrogant!

You think our companies will let this off lightly? You allare only a supermarket chain. What’s there to be arrogant? We must teach thissupermarket a lesson, and that Manager Guo must be sacked!

The next day, a few newspapers reported that Tai HuaSupermarket was discriminating j.a.panese companies and was sued jointly byseveral j.a.panese firms. The report claims that Tai Hua Supermarket was breakingthe friendship between China and j.a.pan. They demanded an apology from Tai HuaSupermarket. The Beijing Government must also apologize!

Fu Guangzheng and Li Zekai were in other provinces scoutingfor new locations for their supermarkets when they got the news. They calledFeng Yu immediately to find out what happened.

Manager Guo had also told Feng Yu about this incident. FengYu also felt Manager Guo did nothing wrong. If this was a typical businessdeal, it does not matter whether if they were j.a.panese firms or not. But theywere too arrogant. Chasing them out of the office was just a light punishment.If Feng Yu were there, he would ask the security guards to beat them up!

Feng Yu told Fu Guangzheng and Li Zekai not to worry. Hewill settle this and will not let Tai Hua Supermarket suffer any losses.

Zhang Han’s father also called Feng Yu because of thisincident. He knew that Feng Yu had shares in Tai Hua Supermarket. This incidentwas no longer a business dispute. It was escalated to a political disagreement.

“Uncle Zhang, it’s okay. They wanted to sell their productsin our supermarkets, but was rejected by us and got angry. They are justn.o.bodies and can’t create any problems..”

“Xiao Feng, if the higher-ups were to pursue this matter,there is nothing I can do to help you. This morning we had a meeting, and theMayor and Secretary were concerned about this matter. This will affect therelationship between the two nations. I tried to say a few good things for you,but I can’t do much.”

“Thank you for your help. I will handle this myself and willnot bring any trouble to the City Government or the Chinese Government. I willlet these companies know that they can’t just make such baseless claims!” FengYu replied with an evil smile.

Sue Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation? Don’t blame us forcountersuing you all!

Sony, Toshiba, Pioneer, and Sharp. These 4 companies want tosue us? You all think that you all are big multinational corporations and caninfluence the higher-ups to pressure Tai Hua Supermarket and insult China atthe same time?

If that’s what you all are thinking, then you all are wrong!China can do without j.a.pan, but j.a.pan’s economy cannot do without the Chinesemarket. If the relationship between both countries deteriorates, j.a.pan will beat the losing end!

Feng Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number he didnot call before. “h.e.l.lo, Director Fang. I am Feng Yu from Bing City Machinery……I also have shares in Tai Hua Supermarket. It regards today’s newspaper report.I would like to explain to Premier Zhu……. Ok. I will wait for your call.”

10 minutes later, Feng Yu received a call from Director Fangasking him to go to the Zhongnanhai at 12.30 pm. Someone there will bring FengYu to meet Premier Zhu.

Liu Jichuan’s hands were shaking as he drove: “Are we reallygoing to Zhongnanhai to meet with Premier Zhu?”

“Watch the road. You are driving. Also, I am the one meetinghim. You cannot enter.” Feng Yu knew he was not allowed to bring a bodyguardwith him for this meeting.

Liu Jichuan was slightly disappointed and concentrated ondriving. But even if he could not meet Premier Zhu, he was still able to lookat Zhongnanhai up close.

It would be best if he could enter Zhongnanhai’s compound.But Liu Jichuan knew that this was impossible.

Liu jichuan did not know how come Feng Yu could enter thatplace and did not know why Feng Yu was able to contact Premier Zhu’s officedirector. But he did not think much about this as this was not something heshould be concerned with.

Liu Jichuan was satisfied with his current job. He did nothave much to do, and his salary was high. He does not need to worry about otherthings, and in less than 2 years, he will be able to save enough to buy a housein the city for his father.

The car slowly reached the destination. Security was tight,and the vehicle was searched thoroughly.

Feng Yu made a phone call, and a bespectacled middle-agedman walked out. He saw Feng Yu and brought Feng Yu into the building.

Before entering the office, two bodyguards approached FengYu and wanted to conduct a body search.

“The Premier said the search is not needed.”

The two bodyguards nodded and stood aside. Feng Yu feltbetter. He was not willing to be searched even when he was meeting the Premier.He does not like this feeling of being suspected and not respected.

“Thank you.” Feng Yu said.

After entering the office, he saw Iron fist Zhu reading adoc.u.ment. It was lunchtime, and he was still working.

Iron fist Zhu looked up: “Xiao Feng is here? Have a sit. Letme finish reading this doc.u.ment first.”

Feng Yu sat down in one corner, and someone served him tea.There were only 3 people left in the office. Iron Fist Zhu, Director Fang, andFeng Yu.

5 minutes later, Iron Fist Zhu put down the doc.u.ment andma.s.saged the bridge of his nose. He walked over to Feng Yu and sat down on thesofa beside him. “You are here to talk about Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation?”

Feng Yu replied calmly: “I want to explain about theaccusations by those j.a.panese firms. Actually, I think that even if I did notcome here to explain to you, I would also be fine. The government will doanything and let those j.a.panese firms bully us.”

Iron Fist Zhu did not accept Feng Yu’s claims.

“Why do you say that? Those companies are related to thej.a.panese Government one way or another. They have issued a joint complaintagainst Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation. This matter is now escalated tonational level dispute. Where did you get the confidence that our governmentwill support you all?”

“Because we are a Chinese enterprise and we are Chinese!Also, we, Tai Hua Supermarket did nothing wrong!” Feng Yu replied confidently.

“Oh? You all did nothing wrong? Are you telling me thatthose companies’ representatives have accused your company?” Iron Fist Zhusmiled and looked at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu’s reply surprised Iron Fist Zhu. “They also did notaccuse us. Our company does discriminate them!”

Director Fang frowned. That means those j.a.panese companieswere right in this dispute. Then why was Feng Yu here? Did he come here to askthe government to protect them?

Now was a crucial time for China and j.a.pan diplomaticrelationship. There were many areas where both nations need to corporate. ThisFeng Yu was just creating trouble for the Chinese government.

“Why are you all discriminating them? What right do you haveto discriminate them?” Iron Fist Zhu did not reprimand Feng Yu. But he justasked him back these questions.

“We do not only discriminate them. We even despise them.Those companies cannot do without our Chinese market. That means they are hereto seek a living. Without us, j.a.pan’s economy will not be able to recover.j.a.pan is an almost bankrupt country, and we are the next up and rising nation.This includes the companies. They are all on the decline, and we are rising tothe top. Why can’t our company despise them?”
