At this moment, Li Wang felt that his world was filled with darkness.
The true boss of Xishan Brewery turned out to be Zhang Dong!
If he had known this from the beginning, he would never have dared to provoke Zhang Dong, no matter what!
Not only did he provoke Zhang Dong, but he even boasted that he would make Zhang Dong introduce Zhang Zhaodi to him as a bride.
As an old classmate of Zhang Dong, Li Wang knew the weight of Zhang Zhaodi in Zhang Dong's heart, so he deliberately said those words back then.
Now, thinking about it, Li Wang really wished he could slap himself a few times.
The shock of the villagers of Dongshan Village was no less than that of Li Wang.
"Heavens! Is this still Zhang Dong? He actually became the boss of Xishan Brewery!"
"Before, I thought Dongzi had made quite a bit of progress, but I didn't expect him to be even more successful than I thought! Old Zhang and his wife can rest in peace now!"
"Damn it, if I had known Zhang Dong was the boss of the brewery, I would have tried to curry favor with him earlier, and maybe I could have worked at Xishan Brewery!"
The villagers were buzzing with discussion.
Village Chief Li You Tian's mouth was wide open, his eyes full of disbelief.
That kid Zhang Dong, not only was he skilled in medicine, but he had also become the boss of Xishan Brewery!
Xishan Brewery was worth a full one million!
Could Zhang Dong really have one million?
No, it must have been that General Yang who provided the money, just letting Zhang Dong be the boss.
But the fact that someone was willing to provide the money for Zhang Dong was a testament to his ability!
Thinking about this, Li You Tian sighed inwardly, vowing not to oppose Zhang Dong anymore!
Back then, Zhang Dong had used his medical skills to control him, and he had even paid two thousand yuan.
This left Li You Tian with a grudge, but now he didn't dare to hate Zhang Dong anymore.
Yang Dabiao, who shared the same thoughts, was also greatly frightened.
In the past, he had been tyrannical in the village, only daring to bully those without money.
For those with money, Yang Dabiao didn't dare to offend them easily.
Now, with Zhang Dong becoming the boss of Xishan Brewery, no matter how big Yang Dabiao's head was, he didn't dare to have any ideas about Zhang Dong.
In a prominent spot in the crowd, the faces of the Zhou Ying family were very complex, especially those of Zhou Ying and her father, Zhou Zheng.
"That kid..." Zhou Zheng could only say three words before he was at a loss for words.
He really had nothing to say. If he had known Zhang Dong was doing so well, he would have definitely given his daughter to Zhang Dong as a wife to repay the favor of saving his life.
But now, it was too late!
Now that Zhang Dong had become successful, it wouldn't matter even if he tried to give his daughter to him now!
Zhou Ying bit her lip. She had been in a relatively good mood, relying on her charm to get a young man to help her family secure a good position.
But now, she had no joy at all!
The more outstanding Zhang Dong became, the more unhappy Zhou Ying was, because Zhang Dong had repeatedly rejected her, greatly hurting the village beauty's pride.
"Zhang Dong, just wait! I, Zhou Ying, swear that I will make you fall in love with me! Then, I will publicly dump you in front of everyone!" Zhou Ying vowed inwardly.
Not far away, the owner of the small store, Zhang Xue Lei, glared at Zhang Dong with hatred, completely unaware that a purple-black sore had quietly appeared on his hand.
In a corner, Yang Cui was standing on a chair, eating sunflower seeds and watching the commotion.
When she learned that Zhang Dong had become the boss of Xishan Brewery, a genuine smile appeared on her face.
"Zhang Dong, this kid, is really becoming more and more outstanding. I can't let this go, I have to step up my game and let this kid taste the bitterness of being a man, hehe!"
At this moment, in addition to the people of Dongshan Village, someone from Xishan Village was also paying close attention to Zhang Dong.
Zhang Lin Na, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, was staring at Zhang Dong with unusually bright eyes.
"I didn't expect this guy to not only be skilled in medicine but also the boss of Xishan Brewery! Too bad Xueyan didn't come!"
Murmuring to herself, Zhang Lin Na glanced at Li Wei beside her.
Li Wei, the village chief's son, who looked strong but was naturally incompetent, was observing the surroundings with a wary eye.
If any man dared to look at Zhang Lin Na, he would glare at them fiercely.
Li Wei couldn't touch his wife due to his natural incompetence, but he wouldn't allow other men to have ideas about his wife!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Dong led his sister and Aunt Niu to a temporary platform, standing with Yang Ming Yan and others.
Yang Ming Yan smiled and greeted Zhang Zhaodi.
The two women had left a good impression on each other during their last meeting.
On the platform, the village chief of Xishan Village looked at Zhang Dong in shock.
Dongshan Village had produced very few college graduates, and the village chief of Xishan Village still recognized Zhang Dong.
He just didn't expect that the kid who was so poor that he couldn't even afford food would now become the boss of Xishan Brewery, to the point where even he, Li Kuishan, had to curry favor with him!
"Village Chief Li, we can start now!" Vice President Ma said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Kuishan came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to begin!"
Then, two fairly good-looking girls came to the platform with red ribbons.
Yang Ming Yan and Zhang Dong stood in the middle of the red ribbons, each holding a pair of scissors.
They looked at each other, and Yang Ming Yan smiled.
"Zhang Dong, the brewery has been bought. From now on, it's up to you. Don't let me down!"
Zhang Dong grinned and said confidently, "Don't worry, General Yang. If the brewery doesn't make money, I'll change my last name to yours!"
However, when these words reached Yang Ming Yan's ears, they took on a different meaning.
A word suddenly flashed through Yang Ming Yan's mind: "in-laws"
Could Zhang Dong be hinting that he wants to be my in-law?
Thinking about this, Yang Ming Yan felt her face turn hot, and she didn't even hear what Vice President Ma was saying beside her.
It wasn't until Zhang Dong nudged her with his elbow that she came back to her senses and realized it was time to cut the ribbon.
She smiled awkwardly and, together with Zhang Dong, grabbed the ribbon and completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
After the ribbon-cutting, Li Kuishan would take Zhang Dong and Yang Ming Yan to tour the interior of Xishan Brewery.
Vice President Ma, who knew how to handle people, had already put two large bags of sunflower seeds and two bags of candy in the trunk before coming, and now he took them out for Li Kuishan to distribute to the villagers who had come to watch.
Just as they entered the brewery, they encountered an old acquaintance, Li Wang.
Seeing Li Wang, Li Kuishan smiled.
"Bosses, I want to introduce this person. His name is Li Wang, a young man from our village. He learned brewing in the city for several years and is both skilled and of good character. I strongly recommend Li Wang as the manager of the brewery."
Li Kuishan's confident words did not make Li Wang smile.
Instead, after he finished speaking, Li Wang, who had been forcing a smile, immediately turned bitter, with no trace of a smile on his face.
Li Kuishan frowned. If it weren't for the good cigarettes and alcohol from Li Wang's father, he would have slapped Li Wang.
Seeing the three bosses of the brewery, not only did Li Wang not smile and greet them, but he even had a bitter face, truly not knowing how to behave!
Zhang Dong, however, smiled. "Li Wang! What a coincidence, we meet again! Do you remember what I said to you that night?"
