Chen Zhaofeng not only failed to purchase the mushrooms, but also received a round of mockery from Wu Xiaoyu, leaving him uneasy as he descended the mountain.
Back at home, he weighed the mushrooms in the corner, once again furrowing his brows; the quantity of these mushrooms was obviously insufficient. Would he get scolded for not meeting Boss Chen's required amount?
Liu Sheng's mother saw him return empty-handed and couldn't help but nag, "What are you trying to prove? Why do you have to compete with others for this business! Now look, didn't get any mushrooms, did you? How are you going to explain this to the big boss?"
"Enough! Say less, our son is already worrying, and you're adding to it!" his father scolded.
The way his parents alternated between supporting and criticizing made him even more vexed. How could he not have considered Wu Xiaoyu's underhanded tricks? He should have been on guard when Wu Xiaoyu sought him out last night. He had been too careless!
