"I'm really sorry for making you all come over here so late at night because of my classes," Ge Dongxu said with a bit of apology as everyone took their seats in the study.

"Haha, Dongxu, you shouldn't say that to us. Without you, Wu Qianjin wouldn't be where he is today. Just say the word, as long as it's not about murder or arson, we will certainly not refuse," Wu Qianjin immediately said with a laugh.

"Uncle Wu, you're exaggerating a bit!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.

"Qianjin is really not exaggerating. We owe our success today to you," Cheng Yazhou said with a slight seriousness on his face.

"It's not just me; our Qinghe Herbal Tea wouldn't be so popular without everyone's effort. You're all giving me too much credit. I'm young, and compliments like these could easily inflate my confidence," Ge Dongxu said earnestly.

Seeing that Ge Dongxu, at his young age, knew to self-reflect and not be arrogant, a look of admiration appeared in the eyes of the three people in the study.

"Since you put it that way, we won't be modest either. Tell us, what is the matter that you called us here for?" Cheng Yazhou said with a smile.

"It's about investing in packaging production," Ge Dongxu said, turning to look at Cheng Yazhou, who seemed to have something to say but hesitated due to the fact that it was Ge Dongxu who made the suggestion, making it awkward to voice any objections.

However, Wu Qianjin and Tang Yiyuan both brightened up at the news, but they too looked towards Cheng Yazhou afterwards.

Clearly, they thought Ge Dongxu's suggestion was promising, but they also knew that Cheng Yazhou might find it a bit troubling.

"I know that in the past, Cao Dapeng from Dapeng Packaging Factory had some business dealings with Uncle Cheng. If we invest in packaging production ourselves, Uncle Cheng might feel a bit guilty towards his friend," Ge Dongxu said, ready to have an open and honest conversation with Cheng Yazhou, and so he didn't hold back his words upon noticing the latter's hesitation.

"In business, as long as it's not a matter of integrity, there's no real issue of owing or not owing someone, but a while ago Cao Dapeng mentioned he was planning to buy new equipment to expand production capacity and came to ask for my opinion. At that time, I hadn't thought about getting into packaging production myself so I said it was fine. If he has purchased the equipment and we suddenly start our own venture, that would seem like we're betraying him," Cheng Yazhou said after some thought, surprised that Ge Dongxu, who usually didn't involve himself in specific business operations, knew about his relationship with Cao Dapeng.

"Oh, Cao Dapeng asked for your opinion?" Ge Dongxu frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had planned to teach Cao Dapeng a harsh lesson because of something he had said on an airplane, but now it seemed from Cheng Yazhou's perspective that doing so right after Cao Dapeng upgraded his equipment would indeed make Cheng appear dishonorable.

Even if one couldn't expect noble actions from someone like Cao Dapeng, others might act without principles, but one couldn't be unjust oneself.

"Yes, although I didn't promise him that we would keep giving him the business after he added the new equipment, nor did we sign any long-term cooperation contract, there was still that implication. Of course, you are the major shareholder. If you decide to invest in packaging production, I will definitely comply with your decision. As for Cao Dapeng, we have a reason to justify it, so it's not really betraying him," Cheng Yazhou nodded and said.

"Let's put this on hold for now. Let me tell you about something that happened yesterday. If you, Uncle Cheng, still feel uneasy about this, I can let Dapeng Packaging Factory handle our business until the end of the year. But after the year-end, no matter what, I will not give any business to Dapeng Packaging Factory," Ge Dongxu thought for a moment and then said.

He didn't want to force Cheng Yazhou because of his personal grievances, but there would definitely be a bottom line.

"Has Cao Dapeng offended you in some way?" Cheng Yazhou was a clever man, and upon hearing this, a thought struck him, and he blurted out the question.

"If it were just offending me, it would be easy to talk about. I could let it go for the sake of Uncle Cheng, but the problem is Cao Dapeng's character is unacceptable. Let me explain the details first." Ge Dongxu replied.

"Then speak!" Cheng Yazhou and the two others' expressions suddenly turned serious.

Cao Dapeng could praise himself to the sky, but that was nothing compared to the business interactions and the gradual friendship he had built with Cheng Yazhou. How could this bit of friendship compare to the relationship between Ge Dongxu and them?

"A few days ago, I went to the capital for some business and on my way back to Linzhou City, I happened to share a flight with President Yuan Li."

When Ge Dongxu mentioned his recent trip to the capital, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin both showed a hint of surprise on their faces, while Tang Yiyuan's expression became even more solemn and serious.

He was naturally aware of whom Ge Dongxu had met in the capital. However, since this matter concerned Elder Feng, Tang Yiyuan wouldn't inquire about it lightly, let alone mention it, even in the absence of Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin.

"It was only then that I realized that Cao Dapeng was actually the owner of Dapeng Packaging Factory. Normally, meeting a fellow townsman on a plane would be a joyful experience. However, Cao Dapeng, under the pretext of discussing a loan with Sister Li, not only made inappropriate physical advances but also used frivolous language towards her. After I intervened, he even attacked Sister Li with insulting language. So, no matter the quality of Dapeng Packaging Factory's products, with Dapeng's character, I am absolutely against continuing…" Ge Dongxu said.

"Damn that Dapeng! Dongxu, enough said, you handle it however you see fit. I don't think we even need to tell him that we are severing our cooperation. Wait until he has bought new equipment and then pull the rug from under him! What crap, earning our money and still daring to offend your woman… cough cough, President Yuan." Wu Qianjin couldn't wait for Ge Dongxu to finish as he slammed the table, his face full of anger.

It was a joke. How could others not know the relationship between Yuan Li and Ge Dongxu when Wu Qianjin and company were well aware? Back then, Ge Dongxu was willing to spend extra money to buy that factory for Yuan Li, and he always referred to her as Sister Li. If not for Ge Dongxu's youth and distinguished status, Wu Qianjin would have teased him about Yuan Li long ago.

Even though he didn't voice the joke, in his heart, Wu Qianjin had already recognized Yuan Li as Ge Dongxu's woman. Although Ge Dongxu was still young, just a high school student, this recognition seemed absurd and unbelievable.

But the thing is, Ge Dongxu was a billionaire! Could one really measure him by his age and identity as a high school student?

It goes without saying that if Cao Dapeng dared to covet Ge Dongxu's woman, could Wu Qianjin not be angry? Could he not slam the table?

"I think Qianjin is right, such a person should indeed be cut off at the knees so he regrets it for the rest of his life!" Tang Yiyuan said, also full of anger.

Joking aside, he regarded Ge Dongxu as a mentor in his heart, and there was Cao Dapeng, making money from their Qinghe Herbal Tea, yet he dared to make advances on Yuan Li and insult her with his words; that was utterly intolerable.
