To be honest, Cai Pingsheng was still a little afraid of the so-called Brother Bear.
I heard that the man came from the slums of the Sixth Region and rose rapidly to power with an attitude of "I'm not afraid of anything." He went from the Sixth Region to the Fifth Region, and now his influence covers most of the Fifth Region. Apart from the Regional Security Department and that legendary the Academy, everyone else has to act Human Face.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a regional king or noble of the Fifth Region.
Qiqi, relying on her looks, spends Cai Pingsheng's money while secretly having an affair with Brother Bear.
Once she successfully hooked up with him, she immediately dumped Cai Pingsheng.
A nicer way to say it is "He understands me better" or "You're a good person".
Unlucky Cai Pingsheng still believed that the two could walk hand in hand into the hall of marriage, little did he know that he was just a sucker and a backup, and was completely deceived by the other party's feigned innocence.
really.
Now their true colors have been revealed.
Cai Pingsheng's true nature was revealed without a doubt; he didn't know whether the other party's visit was a demonstration or a disturbance.
But it's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing you.
He was indeed worried that such a nagging woman would affect his fledgling business.
Cai Pingsheng took out his phone and called an acquaintance in the Regional Security Department.
His brother-in-law, Song Ping'an, gave him 100 million yuan; of course, he couldn't possibly spend it all.
The two had discussed that this was what Cai Pingsheng called a "simple little business." The main purpose was to put his parents at ease. He wasn't aiming to make a lot of money; otherwise, the interest alone would be enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life, and there was no need for such trouble.
He divided the money into several portions.
The larger portion is kept for unforeseen circumstances, while the smaller portion is used for expenses such as setting up shop facilities and labor.
In addition, a portion of the money was specifically spent to cultivate relationships within the Guard Department.
Cai Pingsheng believed that since he was in the business of running a billiards hall, he would inevitably have to deal with the Guard Department on the side.
Whether you can get help in a critical moment depends on how well you've maintained your relationships over the years.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Guard Department doesn't seem to mind those Tower Climber the upper levels of the tower.
It's quite a deterrent to ordinary people and those on lower floors.
So during this period, he would go to the Guard Department to make friends whenever he had free time.
His generosity actually earned him the favor of several junior guards.
"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one day." Today is the moment to test our "friendship." This isn't a mission; I'm just here to show my support and warn certain troublemakers not to cause trouble.
He also plans to hire some Tower Climber as "bodyguards" depending on the situation.
That would be quite expensive.
A tower with low-level towers is ineffective.
For experts above level 200, it would take at least 20,000 to 30,000 coins per week to make ends meet.
That's over 100,000 yuan in fixed expenses every month.
This is just the cost of a "bodyguard".
To hire a standard five-person team, wouldn't it cost at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan per month? Or at least 6 million to 7 million yuan per year? That's a hundred million yuan!
No amount of money can withstand such spending.
Therefore, Cai Pingsheng plans to pursue the Guard Department route for now and postpone hiring bodyguards.
at the moment.
My ex-girlfriend is bringing a group of people to cause trouble.
Let's first observe the effectiveness of the Guard Department.
He made the phone call.
The other party actually agreed.
Two acquaintances, along with a companion, made up the three guards who trotted to the edge of the field to congratulate Cai Pingsheng.
Cai Pingsheng cheerfully distributed good cigarettes, telling the three that he had already booked a restaurant in the Second Region and they would go over for a big meal together after he finished his work here.
The three guards' eyes lit up when they heard it was a restaurant in Second Region.
I pat my chest and guarantee that with a few of us there, everything will go smoothly and successfully in the billiards room!
Hearing this, Cai Pingsheng finally felt relieved and sent the three into the store, telling them to have fun.
Not long after.
Before the troublemakers arrived, He Jiong and his group's bus arrived first.
Song Ping'an led his wife and daughter out of the car first, congratulated Cai Pingsheng who was there to greet them, and instructed him to be careful and not to neglect the important person who had come.
Cai Pingsheng a beat. Thinking about the potential trouble that might arise today, he cautiously asked Song Ping'an, "Brother-in-law, what kind of important person is it? Could our little shop really attract such attention?"
Song Ping'an turned around, pointed upwards with his index finger, and said, "The biggest one!"
"The biggest??" Cai Pingsheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, about to ask another question.
Cai Yiyao interrupted him, "I told you to be careful, so stop nagging! Be smart when they come down!"
Cai Pingsheng quickly put on a smiling face and welcomed He Jiong and his group into the store.
He instructed the only human waiter in the store to lead the temporarily rented robots to serve tea and water and arrange seating for everyone.
The three security guards who were playing ball in the store saw the crowd enter, and after only a glance, they put away their nonchalant expressions.
He stood up straight and greeted Wang Wen, Jiang Zheng, and the others.
Cai Pingsheng curiously sidled up to the guard and asked, "So you all know each other?"
The guards watched the crowd walk to a quiet corner of the shop and settle down. One of them whispered to Cai Pingsheng, "Who doesn't know Professor Wang from the Academy? You're quite something, managing to get them here! With them around, what troublemakers are you afraid of?"
" The Academy... Teacher Wang?!" Cai Pingsheng was dumbfounded.
In the corner Wang Wen, Li He, Gu Jianbing found a sofa that surrounded them on three sides as soon as they arrived at the destination. They then sat around a small coffee table, each with a personal computer, and began to discuss matters.
Mo Ran and Jiang Zheng chose the nearest table to play pool, while Jiang Daoli watched from the sidelines as they took turns playing.
Accompanied by Song Ping'an and Cai Pingsheng, He Jiong rushed over, He Jiong wandered around the store, looking at everything.
Let's watch and chat at the same time.
He Jiong chuckled and nudged Song Ping'an's arm, saying, "Your brother-in-law is quite capable; he's made it look quite professional!"
Song Ping'an just chuckled and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Cai Pingsheng forward to explain, "My brother-in-law paid for everything; I only ran errands and didn't spend a single penny."
He Jiong was slightly taken aback.
Then Cai Pingsheng recounted the whole story with great gratitude.
Upon learning that Song Ping'an had personally invested 100 million yuan to help his brother-in-law start a business, He Jiong gave him a thumbs up.
Song Ping'an shook his head and patted Cai Pingsheng on the back, saying, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. Your sister and I don't usually live here, so it's best for you to spend more time with the elders."
Cai Pingsheng nodded.
He Jiong praising Song Ping'an, He Jiong turned to Cai Pingsheng and pretended to scold him, saying, "Little Cai, I have to say something to you. Brother Song gave you so much money, and you only set up such a small place? Isn't that a bit stingy? You've let your brother-in-law down!"
"No, no, he makes the decisions about his business." Song Ping'an waved his hands repeatedly.
Cai Pingsheng added, "The main thing is to run a small business to make a living. I'm not aiming for a big scale or a lot of money. I'm saving the lion's share for emergencies so I don't keep bothering my brother-in-law."
"No trouble at all," Song Ping'an said, trying to smooth things over as always.
He Jiong by their expressions.
I'm secretly having a good laugh.
The focus shifted to another phrase. "Not aiming to make money? Really?"
Cai Pingsheng, unsure of the other's intention in asking this question, looked at Song Ping'an with a puzzled expression, then slowly nodded and said, "Yes, because my parents also hope that I can have something decent to do so I won't be idle all day. I happen to like playing billiards, so I simply opened this billiards hall. From now on, I can play billiards whenever I want without being accused of being idle, which is perfect."
"That's great!" The group returned to the table where Mo Ran and Jiang Zheng were playing ball. He Jiong said to Cai and Song with great enthusiasm, "It would be best if we weren't aiming to make money! I don't know how to do business, so can I join in? It's such a fun thing!"
Cai Pingsheng was completely stunned, staring blankly at He Jiong, not knowing what to say.
Song Ping'an asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'bringing you in'? Are you going to open a billiards hall too?"
"No need, no need to invest!" He Jiong, "Just like the rules you set, it's okay if we lose money, and we'll split the profits together!"
"But..." Cai Pingsheng hesitated, "We already have enough money, there's nowhere we need to invest."
Jiang Zheng, who was playing basketball with Mo Ran, suddenly straightened up.
I rubbed my stomach.
He called out to Song Ping'an, "Old Song, do you have anything to eat here? I haven't eaten since I came out of the tower, and I'm a little hungry."
Cai Pingsheng hurriedly apologized, saying, "No, we really don't. The shop only has tea and drinks right now, no food. But I've made a reservation in Second Region later, so we can all go and have a meal together then."
Jiang Zheng frowned. " The Second Region is so far, we'll have to wait. Forget it, let me see if there's any takeout nearby."
As they spoke, he and Jiang Daoli started looking through their phones.
Mo Ran banged on the table, annoyed, and shouted, "Hey, it's a competition! Can't you concentrate?"
Jiang Zheng pleaded helplessly, "I'm starving, boss... could I have a bite to eat?"
Jiang Daoli quickly reassured them, "It's alright, Captain, you guys play first, I'll order some takeout."
Looking at the chaotic group, Cai Pingsheng felt guilty and uneasy, thinking about their identities and his sister and brother-in-law's instructions. He felt he hadn't treated them well and couldn't help but show an anxious expression on his face.
Song Ping'an patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know the area well? Find a decent restaurant nearby and have them deliver the food. It would be too impolite to have Captain Jiang order takeout."
Jiang Zheng finished his shot over there.
Hearing their conversation, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Old Song, don't scare the kids! We're grown men, we don't need to be so fussy. Anything to eat is fine, takeout with meat is enough, no need for all that fancy stuff."
Jiang Daoli then showed his phone screen, indicating that he had ordered takeout and was waiting for the machine's round object to be delivered.
Song Ping'an then gave up.
Cai Pingsheng felt even more ashamed.
Seeing the awkward scene, He Jiong was extremely excited.
He nudged Cai Pingsheng's arm with his elbow and said, "Look, isn't something missing? People always need to eat! I think we should just take over that tobacco and liquor stall next door, combine the two and turn it into a small restaurant, so that people who come to visit can eat nearby. What do you think?"
Cai Pingsheng was dumbfounded. "A restaurant in a billiards hall?!"
"What's wrong?" He Jiong asked back, "Anyway, we're not counting on making money, so we're just messing around, right?"
