The moment Chen Ergou saw Cheng Yuanfang, he thought of Liu Pangzi from the SD bar in Shanghai, because she had a mature female companion named Yanzi by her side. In Chen Ergou's opinion, women like them all had the capital to be charming and flirtatious, never gazing or peeking at men like little girls, but rather habitually casting a light, neither too heavy nor too light, not too cold nor too hot, making it easy for men with empty pockets and no power to retreat in frustration.
Here is the translation:
Among them, Wang Huren, who was more interested in women, remained calm and ignored the female general manager, not taking her seriously. He continued to drink heavily, warming up his throat to continue tormenting Chen Ergou's group. Chen Qingzhi liked to observe others quietly. The three girls who were "princesses" at Kuiyuan looked at Cheng Yuanfang with different eyes. Wang Huren's favorite plump girl had a face full of admiration, her eyes shining brightly, which was the look of an inferior person looking up to a superior. The shy and reserved girl next to Chen Ergou had a naive and confused expression, probably because this young girl who had just joined Kuiyuan had only heard about the female leader but had never seen her before, and now she was caught off guard. The most interesting expression came from the girl next to Chen Qingzhi. Her eyes were neither respectful nor fearful, nor did they show any jealousy towards an excellent woman. Unexpectedly, it was a passionate look that men would give to women they were interested in. She didn't show it openly, but she couldn't hide it either. Chen Qingzhi shifted uncomfortably, he had never been interested in this tall and beautiful woman, let alone a bisexual or lesbian.
Three girls who had just started playing with Chen Ergou sat together subconsciously, trying to stay as far away as possible from this group of customers whose depth they didn't know, whispering to each other.
Chen Ergou did not expect the legendary female strongman to be so petite, only 1.6 meters tall and weighing around 90 kilograms. If Zhang Ye Qing were as slender and weak as she was, Chen Ergou would have taken her down at the Chicken Temple without hesitation. Cheng Yuanfang, on the other hand, was a stark contrast to Zhang Ye Qing. She didn't put on airs with Chen Ergou either, and after sitting down, she picked up her wine glass and toasted first. The two men behind her were expressionless, ignoring Chen Ergou's group. Yansha Entertainment City was not like Shi Qingfeng's club or the dogfighting arena. Although it had been under Wei Duan Gong's name for three years, there were many secrets within. What outsiders loved to talk about most was that Wei Duan Gong had never set foot in the entertainment city, making it an impenetrable fortress. Chen Ergou thought it would be much harder to take down Yansha than Shi Qingfeng.
Just after Chen Ergou, she finished drinking and wanted to talk about serious things with him, but found that she had already put down her wine glass, stood up neatly and left the box without any hesitation. The two men behind her had undisguised schadenfreude at the corners of their mouths, leaving Chen Ergou with a stunned face. Wang Hu remained cursing, while Chen Qing looked at Chen Ergou with great interest, as if expecting this unlucky boss and brother to respond next.
"Is this considered a closed-door show?" Chen Ergou said with some self-mockery, originally hoping to put on a spectacular performance of strong vs. strong in front of these beautiful girls, but unexpectedly the opponent's main character went off stage as soon as he came on, leaving Chen Ergou who was supposed to be the solo performer feeling embarrassed.
Chen Qingzhi nodded in agreement, while Wang Huzi's face remained gloomy. He gazed at Chen Ergou with an eerie and unfamiliar gaze that made the three girls feel uneasy. However, to Chen Ergou, it was a familiar look. Chen Ergou didn't react, but instead poured wine for everyone, filling each of the girls' cups about six or seven parts full. Although Chen Ergou and Wang Huzi were both from rough backgrounds, their methods were as cold-blooded and ruthless as each other's. However, Wang Huzi was a man who lived by the knife and would stop at nothing to survive, not fearing destruction as long as he could gain something. This was an occupational habit that often led him to sacrifice his limbs for survival. Chen Ergou, on the other hand, wasn't a traditional fugitive in the true sense of the word. Despite having killed people and taken over Wei Gonggong's position, his experiences in the mountains had taught him to be cautious and not act impulsively.
"Boss, what do you guys do?" The seemingly most outgoing and flirtatious girl asked Chen Ergou with a tentative tone, squeezing out an innocent smile. Fortunately, her acting skills were not bad, so she didn't look disgusting. As soon as she spoke, her two friends also perked up their ears, apparently very curious about this too.
"Selling arms, occasionally selling poison." Wang Hu said with a half-true and half-false tone.
A tall and beautiful woman with a somewhat ambiguous sexual orientation subconsciously curled up the corners of her mouth, similar to a cold and sarcastic smile. This expression was captured by Chen Ergou, who developed some interest in this girl with a bit of a cold and elegant temperament. The girl named Si Jia next to Chen Ergou was the most innocent, and as soon as she heard this, she became somewhat apprehensive. Her originally relaxed attitude immediately returned to its initial tension and vigilance. On the other hand, the beautiful woman who asked this question laughed loudly and carelessly, without thinking much of it.
"Don't believe me?" Wang Hu's thick and coarse eyebrows, which were out of proportion with his pointed chin and small face, twitched slightly, his expression gloomy.
The beautiful woman, who was busy laughing and chatting, was obviously startled, stopped her laughter, and suddenly realized that the man next to her didn't look as simple as he seemed. She said she needed to go to the restroom and quickly left the private room. Chen Er smiled harmlessly at the other two girls and said, "I heard this place isn't very safe, it's not good for one person to be alone, won't you guys accompany her?"
The slender beauty with two exceptionally enticing legs lightly furrowed her brow, pulled over her bewildered companion to get up and slip away. After closing the door, Wang Hu threw a few grapes into his mouth and munched on them, laughing indistinctly: "You guys think that little woman who was scared out of her wits would go to report to the police in a fit of passion."
"No, if something happens, it's handled internally first, reported up the ranks one by one, and only when necessary are resources mobilized. This is usually the rule of thumb for entertainment venues, and only a rookie would overstep their bounds." Chen Ergou, after all, was someone who had worked at SD Bar, looked around and said, "Especially in places with such deep backgrounds, everyone has a sense of security. That girl earlier probably just wasn't used to your transformation, didn't reach the point of panic, maybe she suddenly realized you're a big fish worth investing in and took the opportunity to touch up her makeup or something. If she couldn't handle it, she wouldn't be one of Quanyuan's 'princesses'."
"It makes sense, Tiger, you'd better grasp it well and strive for a double fly tonight." Chen Qing said with a smile. The usually stoic Bai Ma Tan Hua seemed to have become more humanized after being misled.
Wang Hu remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I'm still a virgin, I have no experience with double flying."
"Nonsense!" Chen Ergou cursed with a smile, "I heard Wang Jiefang say that his first time was when you took him to the small hair salon, and he also said that you used to be the emperor of sauna houses in Shangqiu, Henan."
"I am a chaste and pure virgin every day." Wang Hu said shamelessly with a thick face, flicking a flower finger.
Before Chen Erdog could intervene, Chen Qingzhi had already pinned Wang Hu down on the sofa and was beating him violently. It was clear that Chen Qingzhi had been holding back his anger towards this general for a long time. Chen Erdog laughed and said: "That's enough, stop making trouble, we still have official business to attend to."
"A woman, lying in bed, still can't listen?" Wang Hu said with a big smile.
Chen Ergou shook his head.
Kuiyuan should be like the Tian Shang Ren Jian of Beijing back then, with a strong backing. When dealing with characters like this, you need to be quick and find their weak spot. This way, you can minimize the involvement of other forces. Even if Chen Ziyue could smooth things over, he would probably just sit back and watch. An old fox like him wouldn't want to get involved in our mess.
Chen Qingzhi analyzed, Chen Qingzhi is different from Chen Erdou and Wang Huzi, he comes from a big family and has witnessed the rise and fall of his own family. The most shocking stage for any family is its rise and collapse. Although Chen Qingzhi can't dominate the social circle like Li Kuafu after growing up, it doesn't mean he's not familiar with the upper class.
Can this man who can kill with a newspaper, following Chen Ergou, whose current influence is limited to Nanjing, achieve the second rise of his family?
"Today is just a casual visit, I didn't plan to make Yansha's side surrender at first sight, I'm not Wei Ye that kind of fierce person." Chen Er Gou laughed: "Besides, Wei Ye also lost face in front of her, this shouldn't be considered losing face for me, she didn't slap my ear or pour wine on me, and Cheng Yuanfang even toasted a cup of wine to me."
Wang Hu rolled his eyes.
Chen Erdog stretched and said, "I'll go back and ask my wife for her opinion. After all, I won't be able to keep making mistakes in high society forever. What if one day I step on a landmine and die unjustly? Qingzhi, I plan to hand over the clean industries like Wei Duan Gong's Stone Green Peak to you to manage. As for the future of Yansha and Dog Fighting Arena, I'll give them to Hu Sheng. I also have an immature idea - let Wang Jiefang host a club or private clubhouse that caters specifically to rich ladies. This is something I heard from a friend in Shanghai, and I think it has some feasibility. Do you guys have any opinions?"
"I don't care, it's all the same to me whether it's black or white." Wang Hu said with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Two Dogs, it's better for you to take charge of the clean business, I'll just lend a hand. Murder and arson are relatively simple and easy things." Chen Qing said with a smile.
"Being brothers, don't worry about outshining the master. I'm not your lord." Chen Ergou said in a low voice, clinking his wine cup against Chen Qing's and downing it in one gulp. "Qing, I know my own weight best. When I think I have the qualifications to take everything, I won't hesitate. Until then, let you handle the surface level stuff. Besides, how are you going to deal with Li Kuafu in the future? You can't just engage in close combat and knife fights, can you?"
Chen Qingzi remained silent. Chen Ergou patted his shoulder and laughed, "These things still have to wait until we get through the current few hurdles before they can be counted, one Cheng Yuanfang, one Shang Jiawu's backer, Bamboo Leaf Green, if either of them is not handled properly, I won't have a chance to move up to the next level."
Three girls returned to the private room, and Chen Ergou stopped discussing serious matters. After finishing his drink, he prepared to retreat from the Kuiyuan. He specifically asked for their phone numbers, which was an unspoken rule in entertainment venues. Exchanging numbers, even if 90% were invalid, but the remaining 10% might be opportunities. It could be seen that the petite and delicate girl still had a certain affection for Chen Ergou. The saying "clothes make the man" is true. Although Chen Ergou was not stunningly handsome, with some grooming, he wore branded clothes and possessed a subtle and refined temperament that made him attractive to women. Even the mature woman, Yanzi, had thoughts about him earlier, so it's no wonder this girl was smitten.
As soon as Chen Ergou and his group left Yansha, the three girls were called to a elegant private room by Cheng Yuanfang, who rarely appeared in the entertainment city. When they entered the private room, the female boss was leaning back with her legs crossed, propping up her cheekbones, smoking a Marlboro cigarette. Although she wasn't tall, she had an aura that made men bow their heads like sheep. She wore simple yet elegant attire, with a string of black pearls around her neck, shining brightly against her snow-white skin. With the smoke swirling around her, she exuded an air of intimidation as soon as she appeared, making the three younger girls who had heard many legendary stories about her feel varying degrees of reverence. Even the tall and beautiful woman who had initially looked at them with ambiguous eyes seemed a bit apprehensive.
"Did they say anything in the private room?" Cheng Yuangang asked softly.
"The shortest one said they were selling arms and drugs." The youngest girl in the nightclub, who had just entered the profession, said timidly.
Cheng Yuanfang smiled slightly and said, "I'm still a bit skeptical about the drug trafficking, but selling military equipment is another matter. They don't have that kind of skill yet. Tell me, what do you think of these people? Just say whatever comes to mind, don't be nervous, let's just chat like we're talking about family matters."
Cheng Yuanfang spoke calmly and slowly, without a hint of anger or impatience, not like the queen of the nightclub, but rather like a teacher educating students. Just as the girl who had caught Wang Hu's eye was about to open her mouth, Cheng Yuanfang flicked her cigarette ash and said, "Let Si Jia speak."
Her beautiful eyebrows immediately closed, and she was as silent as a cicada in winter. She wasn't some inexperienced little friend, Wang Sijia, and the great Buddha in front of her wasn't Guanyin who saves people from suffering. She started to worry that Sijia might say something wrong, but in this situation, she didn't dare to remind her, so she quietly grasped Wang Sijia's small hand which was sweating profusely.
"A person like a young master, although dressed normally, speaks little and has subtle expressions, but definitely not an ordinary person."
This was Xiaoniang Wang Siqi's first impression of Chen Qingzhi. Subconsciously, she took this most taciturn man as the core figure. After all, she wasn't like her two friends who had been through many nights and were still not sophisticated enough to observe words and expressions.
"There's another one who has a strange demeanor, looks unusual and speaks differently from ordinary people." Wang Si Jia racked her brain for a long time but couldn't find the right words to describe Wang Hu Sheng. She could only look at Qi Yuan's number one boss, Cheng Yuan Fang, with slight embarrassment. The latter nodded, indicating for her to continue. When Wang Si Jia thought of the last man, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. Now that she thought about it again, the well-dressed man gave the innocent girl a clean, warm and harmless feeling, even if it was just an illusion. This made the girl feel relaxed in front of Cheng Yuan Fang, so much so that she didn't even realize she had smiled, a pure and sharp smile that left the worldly-wise Cheng Yuan Fang stunned for a moment, as if recalling some past event. The female boss didn't wait for Wang Si Jia to say anything before waving her hand, and the three girls who were like they had just been pardoned let out a sigh of relief and exited the private room.
"Are those men figures from the Taoist sect? But they don't look like it." Wang Si Jia stood in front of the bathroom mirror, splashed some cold water on her face to calm down, and still felt a lingering fear.
A beautiful woman leaning against a marble pillar sneered, "Nowadays, no one is stupid enough to label themselves. Those who pull tricks dress up as gentlemen, and even beasts are more refined than professors. I used to have a boyfriend, his older brother was doing business in the Taihu commercial district, driving a second-hand Chevrolet, smoking Nanjing cigarettes that cost a few dollars a pack. Who would have thought that he had several zeros on his bankbook? When he saw the restaurant service staff, he spoke softly and politely, just like when meeting a big shot. This kind of person is called sophisticated. They don't smile at everyone they meet. Those who rush out to show off their wealth as soon as they leave the house are just small-time players. Si Jia, after you've been in our circle for a while, you'll understand that it's not easy to read men."
Wang Sijia stuck out her tongue.
A girl with a plump chest and buttocks, facing the mirror, carefully making up, smiled slyly: "Xijia, Leng Dan is right, looking at men is an academic question, we are all eating youth rice. My principle is one, whoever can spend 4 or 5 thousand yuan in one night, I will go out with him, of course, as long as he looks okay. If he's a bit older, it depends on whether there are any extra gifts. Xijia, I'm telling you, our sister here just received a Volkswagen Beetle from an old Taiwanese businessman last week, isn't that awesome?"
Wang Si Jia disagreed and said: "I can't do this kind of thing. Just thinking about the old man makes me nauseous, not to mention Fatso."
A stunning beauty with a figure rivaling that of top models lit a cigarette, holding it between her fingers, and gazed at her delicate face with a smile: "Si Jia, you're different from us. You're here to experience life, while we're just trying to make a living. Don't provoke Xiao Ping anymore, or she might get angry with you and take liberties with you tonight."
"I'm going to make it even more exciting now." The plump girl bared her teeth and brandished her claws.
A few girls were laughing and playing together, Chen Ergou's arrival was just an episode for them, just like the interesting young man who stood beside Chen Ergou and urinated at the Huangpu Conference that year. He was also a character who seemed to have no intersection with Chen Ergou in this life. Most of life is like this, meeting does not necessarily mean understanding, and encountering does not necessarily mean intimacy.
Unless life occasionally makes a joke. (If you want to know what happens next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support the genuine version!)
