Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 782 - 777: Nothing but a Petty Man

Fang Pingying was just thinking about it when Liu Fengsheng left after packing his things, and Juzi came over to Fang Pingying, saying, "Sister-in-law, Liu Fengsheng has left."

Fang Pingying nodded, "I know, let him leave."

Juzi was still angry, cursing bitterly, "I really didn’t expect it. He usually looks like such an upright person, turns out he’s full of deceit."

"Don’t talk about him anymore. What we need to do now is to readjust the supermarket. We’re likely facing a tough fight ahead, and if we make any mistakes, the supermarket’s business could plummet." Although Liu Fengsheng didn’t explicitly say so, Fang Pingying intuitively felt that his last words implied he would definitely take action against the supermarket.

It seems that because he couldn’t get what he wanted emotionally, he wants to fight against her in business and make Fang Pingying regret.

Would such a man truly love a woman sincerely?

Or to put it another way, if Fang Pingying had really chosen him, would Liu Fengsheng really be the upright man they imagined?

Fang Pingying thinks not.

In Fang Pingying’s view, a truly upright person, no matter the situation encountered, has thoughts that are extremely positive and would not be so easily obsessed.

And Liu Fengsheng took this opportunity to show that because Fang Pingying didn’t choose him, he wants to show her his most excellent side, making her regret not choosing him.

Actually, he probably also sees the supermarket as a lucrative opportunity, knowing that at this time, it’s a money-making business. Plus, after being at the supermarket for so long, he has learned a lot of management methods introduced by Fang Pingying herself, so he intentionally chose to open a supermarket.

Moreover, Fang Pingying can even conclude that Liu Fengsheng originally took an interest in her not because of who she is, but because of her abilities.

In other words, if Fang Pingying, like in her previous life, was just an ordinary woman with no talents, Liu Fengsheng probably wouldn’t even glance at her.

So the reason Liu Fengsheng values her so much is that he feels that by marrying her, as a man, his ego could be satisfied.

With a man like this, it’s no wonder she never had feelings for him regardless of the situation before.

In the ensuing days, just as Fang Pingying anticipated, Liu Fengsheng continually suppressed their supermarket in business, even going so far as using government forces to find fault with some internal details of their supermarket.

Those details are things that any large supermarket might overlook, and generally, the government would turn a blind eye, not taking things too seriously. But because Liu Fengsheng deliberately made it difficult, there were some troubles.

Fortunately, Fang Pingying and Uncle Zeng had some standing here now, not that easy for him to succeed.

However, this allowed Fang Pingying to truly see Liu Fengsheng’s character; after all, at crucial times, to achieve his goals, he’s essentially a petty person.

Besides these, in business tactics, Liu Fengsheng constantly put obstacles in their way.

But since Fang Pingying was prepared, and she had lived one more life, she saw and knew more than him, so she managed to turn every disadvantage around.

Additionally, because Fang Pingying’s supermarket had been open for a while and had a good reputation among the surrounding citizens, Fang Pingying and Uncle Zeng’s financial backing had considerable power. Although Liu Fengsheng’s family had decent conditions, allegedly supported by a bank, the bank wasn’t owned by their family but by the state. His father, no matter how powerful, had to account to the state. Although he could easily gather a large sum of money in the short term, over time, their foundation wasn’t as solid as that of Fang Pingying and Uncle Zeng.

Because he consistently used supermarket product prices to fight against Fang Pingying, ultimately, he would hurt his own business. Within just two or three months, Liu Fengsheng’s supermarket clearly started struggling.

Initially, the shareholder partners who joined him began having opinions because after several months of operation, they saw no profit, only losses.

Additionally, they also noticed how Liu Fengsheng seemed to be using the supermarket for personal vendettas, essentially taking their money to settle personal scores. Initially, they tolerated because of his father’s face, but eventually, no one wanted to endure it, leading to internal problems within the supermarket.

Whether it’s a large enterprise or a joint-stock company, once internal management goes awry, it naturally gets affected.

Soon, Liu Fengsheng’s supermarket faced financial shortages because other shareholders stopped injecting funds, leading to inability to pay employees, who started complaining. Over time, some employees even began rebelling, with some of more aggressive nature starting strikes, ultimately leading to using supermarket goods to offset wages, and eventually, many shelves in the supermarket began to run out of stock.

In this case, the supermarket couldn’t continue operating, and finally one day faced the fate of being declared closed.

If closed, the result would be Liu Fengsheng being deep in debt, and if he couldn’t repay, he might face imprisonment.

His father would also face internal investigation due to this matter. Naturally, regarding the loan issue, his father was biased. If it really came to this, the Liu family would be ruined in terms of both reputation and finances.

Liu Fengsheng’s parents were both selfish and very concerned about their image. They would never allow the family to fall to such a level. In desperation, Liu Fengsheng’s father came up with an idea to save the family and himself,

"Fengsheng, actually, the original reason you insisted on opening this supermarket was for that woman named Fang. Now that you’ve reached this point, why not discuss with her, have her invest in your supermarket and become a shareholder? Your supermarket could then become a branch of theirs, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?"

Thinking of the words he said to Fang Pingying at the beginning, Liu Fengsheng thought to himself that even if he died, he would never bow down in front of Fang Pingying, so he forcefully refused, "Dad, I’d rather go to prison than beg Fang Pingying."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu turned livid with anger, cursing bitterly, "If it were only you going to prison without affecting the family, do you think I’d worry so much about you? If I’d known you’d embarrass us like this, I shouldn’t have helped you as my son."

Seeing his father about to wash his hands of this so quickly, Liu Fengsheng sneered and exposed his father’s thoughts, "Dad, don’t sound so noble. Originally you supported opening the supermarket immensely. Don’t forget you also have shares in the supermarket. If it truly made money, would you come to share the profits or not?"

"You..." Being exposed, Mr. Liu couldn’t respond well, only angrily uttered, "Ungrateful son."
