Seven Days, Could He Really Punch a Hole in the Sky?
Pulled along by the others, Zhang Yuliang stormed out of the restaurant. His impeccably dressed but unassuming henchman turned the axe in his hand around and handed it to Gao Lao Cheng across the table, saying in a flippant tone, "Gao Lao Cheng, the Double Red Pole of Fuyixing? I've heard so much about you."
"Who are you?" Gao Lao Cheng slowly took the axe handle and asked.
The young man sneered dismissively, "Me? Just a nobody. Dealing with you lowly punks who act like bullies in Hong Kong is a piece of cake. You'd better watch out next time."
After saying that, the young man turned and followed Zhang Yuliang.
Chu Xiaoxin was comforted by Chen Judy and several members of the Young Masters' Club. They left the restaurant and headed towards the dance hall. Gao Lao Cheng looked at Song Tianyao, Song Tianyao tilted his head. Gao Lao Cheng put away his axe and followed Chu Xiaoxin to the dance hall.
When Manager Jin arrived at the restaurant in a flurry with a group of waiters after receiving the news, only Song Tianyao was left sitting in a corner at a dilapidated table, lost in thought.
Seeing that there were no problems with the restaurant, Manager Jin dismissed the waiters behind him, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Song Tianyao. He took out a box of Da Chong Jiu, which were extremely rare in Hong Kong, from his pocket and handed one to Song Tianyao: "Secretary Song, have a taste. It's from the mainland, very rare."
Song Tianyao took it, lit it himself, and Jin Deming lit one too. Looking at the somewhat messy main table, he said, "What exactly happened? If the food and drinks aren't to your liking, Young Master Young Master Shun, just tell me. Constantly brandishing an axe to scare people away is easy to scare away guests."
"It's nothing. It happened so suddenly, I didn't even know what was going on. By the time I came to my senses, I was the only one left in the restaurant." Song Tianyao asked Jin Deming, "Manager Jin, how much do you know about that fourth young master of the Zhang Family? It seems my boss has a grudge against him?"
Jin Deming exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "Fourth Young Master Zhang? Not really. He occasionally comes to Lichi with Young Master Shun. He almost never comes to Lichi on his own, but he's always very polite. He speaks softly to the shoe shiners who shine his shoes and never looks down on them. He's also quite generous. He likes to tell Western stories to show off. Everyone at Lichi has a good impression of this Fourth Young Master Zhang. His reputation is almost on par with Young Master Shun's."
"I think Young Master Shun probably turned against me because he stole his thunder at the dinner table. Earlier at the dinner table, that Fourth Young Master Zhang kept interrupting us," Song Tianyao concluded.
Jin Deming nodded, relieved. "That's good. It was just a minor scuffle. I'm too tough to be scared."
After leaving the restaurant, Chu Xiaoxin spent another three hours at the dance hall. It was past 11 p. m. when they left the Lichi. Chu Xiaoxin first took Chen Judy back to his room at the Dulles Hotel before going to Song Tianyao's room. Although his face was still flushed from drinking, he couldn't contain his excitement. "How was it? I did a good job acting, didn't I? I did everything you told me to do?"
"Your acting is getting better and better. I think you could go into movie acting in the future. Ninety percent, this matter should be ninety percent settled." Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin, "The rest is up to someone like me to do the work. Young Master Shun, you go back to your room and keep that Miss Judy company. I'll wait for the Foreign Girl lawyer to return for a chat. She hasn't returned yet. I guess she's taken the bait."
"Hey, I've spent 50,000 yuan, and now I only have a little over 700 yuan left in my pocket. I just realized, what am I going to do tomorrow if I don't have any money?" Chu Xiaoxin sat down on the sofa next to Song Tianyao, poured himself a glass of iced tea, and asked, "I'm very good at this kind of thing. I don't mind doing it a few more times tomorrow or the day after."
Song Tianyao looked innocently at Chu Xiaoxin: "Big Brother, if you don't have money tomorrow, of course you'll go home and beg your wife. What does it have to do with me? Come on, go back and be with the pretty girl. At worst, you can go see your wife tomorrow and continue to pin the blame on me. I won't hold it against you."
"Damn it! You're more heartless than a hostess! You use me and then throw me away? Fifty thousand dollars for just one night of glory, and tomorrow I'm supposed to go back to playing the pauper? Outsiders will laugh themselves to death." Chu Xiaoxin almost choked on his herbal tea. "No way, I have to think of something. My mom saw that I already have fifty thousand dollars today, so of course she won't give me any money tomorrow!"
"I told you it's none of my business. You're the boss, and I rely on you to pay my salary. But considering your loyalty, I won't mind if it's delayed for two months," Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin with a smile.
Chu Xiaoxin- yan remained on the sofa, softening his tone. "A-Yao, it would be embarrassing if I pretended to be poor tomorrow. How am I supposed to go to Lichi tomorrow with only six or seven hundred dollars? I need at least five thousand dollars to maintain my lavish spending after I've become rich."
"Then if you help me act in another play, I'll lend you five thousand yuan," Song Tianxing said to Chu Xiaoxin.
Holding his teacup, Chu Xiaoxin couldn't help but swear. "I shouldn't have spilled my tea on Zhang Yuliang, I should have spilled it on you, you bastard! Are you a secretary or a director? I'm your boss, and you dare to bargain with me for five thousand dollars?"
"Are you going to act or not? If not, I'm leaving. You can use the rest of the money for smuggling, and I'll go Flower boat," Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin with an indifferent expression.
As Chu Xiaoxin brought the teacup to his lips, he said, "Alright, go on, tell me your story, you old hag. I didn't just hire a secretary to help Likang. I clearly hired a nagging and mercenary woman to make myself miserable. You better watch out. If I can't make any money, I'll sleep with you like a woman, so I'll feel like I've lost less."
"You're in big trouble if you even think that. If you don't believe me, ask my mom. I slept with a man upstairs the other day, and he woke up with a sore butt. Be careful," Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoxin spat out the herbal tea he had just drunk.
Chapter 110 Seven Days, Could It Be Enough to Break Through the Heavens?
"Chu Xiaoxin is really not suited to be a businessman. He doesn't even have a fraction of his father Chu Yaozong's skills, let alone two-tenths of his elder brother Chu Xiaozhong's. At least Chu Xiaozhong uses his brain when he speaks; he would never discuss business at the dinner table to avoid saying something inappropriate while drunk, and he certainly wouldn't spill a cup of tea on me." Zhang Yuliang changed into casual clothes, came out of his bedroom, and showed no anger on his face. He walked to a wicker chair, sat down, and said to his third brother Zhang Yulin, who was drinking tea in the second-floor living room, "However, the banquet Chu Xiaoxin hosted today was truly excellent. I never knew that wild game and crab roe could be so delicious."
