Fanatic!

Chapter 52 Do Things Thoroughly

A-Yue seemed to sense that Chen Wujun was in a bad mood, and kept trying to please him obediently.

Late at night, A-Yue lay on Chen Wujun's chest, drawing circles on his lower abdomen with her fingers.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I suddenly understand something!" Chen Wujun put one arm behind his head and let out a long sigh.

"A leopard can't change its spots. Don't give people a chance too easily, or you'll never know what the outcome will be!" Chen Wujun's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"People always say to leave a way out for others, but that's utter bullshit. When faced with a problem, you should just go all out!"

He wasn't very familiar with Shufen's family, but seeing Shufen huddled in a corner like an abandoned cat or dog made him think of his own family, which was also full of gambling addicts, and he felt a pang of sympathy.

Moreover, it's not just about Shufen's gambling father and her own family's gambling addiction; it applies to everything else as well.

Since others may pose a threat, they should be killed directly.

We cannot leave any opportunities for others.

After witnessing Shufen's family situation firsthand, Chen Wujun suddenly understood a principle.

Never leave any hidden dangers; do things thoroughly!

A-Yue only half understood what Chen Wujun was saying, and felt that his words were too fierce.

Instead of trying to persuade her, she asked, "Do you want to go shopping tomorrow? I've never been shopping before, so I'll just stroll around the area around the walled city."

"Let's wait a few months, I don't have much time right now!"

Chen Wujun had never told A Yue about the gambling match. A Yue didn't work at the dance hall, so she didn't have contact with those people and was completely unaware of it.

“I’ll give you some money tomorrow. You can rent a place for your dad and brother to stay. Don’t keep renting beds in the City Walled City Hotel.” Chen Wujun suddenly remembered something and said to A Yue.

The so-called "walled city hotel" is actually a ten-story building with an extremely chaotic interior.

Not only are there cheap hotels with one room divided into seven or eight beds, but there are also many prostitutes living in single rooms, and some drug addicts gathering to smoke No. 4 powder.

Many illegal immigrants and fugitive criminals also live there.

In the Walled City, a lawless area, the Walled City Hotel is also the most chaotic place.

Ah Yue has to deliver food to them every day, which will inevitably cause trouble in the long run. It would be better to rent a place to live outside.

One or two thousand yuan a month is just a drop in the ocean compared to his current expenses of 100,000 crystals a month for martial arts training.

“Okay…” Upon hearing this, A-Yue smiled and grabbed Xiao-Jun.

……

When Chen Wujun returned home the next day, he did not see Shufen.

At the dinner table, Huang Meizhen was still talking about Shufen: "Shufen lost both her parents this time. But it's good that her gambling father is gone."

"Her parents are gone, who will take care of her?" Chen Wujun asked casually.

“She has no family left. I talked to some neighbors, and each family will contribute 20 yuan a month, which is 380 yuan a month, enough for her to go to school. As for food, each family will eat with her for one day,” Huang Meizhen said while eating.

"The problem is the accommodation. Her family rents a place, and now that her parents are gone, they definitely can't live there anymore. But nobody has a place to stay..."

After all, every family's living space is very small. A family of several people has to be crammed into a space of ten or twenty square meters, and thirty square meters is considered a luxury home.

Chen Wujun thought to himself, "As expected, if each family contributes a little money, we can't let this child starve to death."

As for accommodation...

“There’s no one at the dental clinic at night, so why don’t we just let her stay there?” Chen Wujun suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Meizhen was immediately tempted and looked up at Chen Hanliang.

Seeing that Chen Hanliang didn't speak, she changed the subject: "Eat, eat! At worst, we'll sleep in the stairwell. It'll just be a little cold and a little pitiful, but at least we'll have something to eat. We won't freeze or starve to death."

After finishing his meal, Chen Wujun went into the bedroom.

The eldest brother ate in bed, with a small table next to him where the leftover food was placed.

"Why is there chicken soup? You're getting better treatment than everyone else!" Chen Wu sniffed.

"Second brother, have you found him yet?" Chen Wuhong immediately asked upon seeing Chen Wujun.

He's furious right now.

That day, I was about to go out to gamble a couple of times when someone broke my leg, and now I can't even get out of bed.

"Were you going out for some fresh air or gambling that day?" Chen Wujun asked directly after closing the door.

“Didn’t I say I just went out for some fresh air?” the eldest brother, Chen Wuhong, immediately said.

"You know about Shufen's father, right? I just want to tell you that if I find out you're gambling again, I'll throw you off the roof," Chen Wujun said slowly.

“You gamblers are no longer human; your existence will only drag others down.”

When Chen Wuhong saw Chen Wujun say these words so calmly, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He mumbled, "I definitely won't gamble anymore."

"That would be best." The coldness on Chen Wujun's face faded: "The New Year is almost here, stay home and take good care of your injuries."

As Chen Wujun left, Chen Wuhong had only one thought in his mind: his second son was becoming increasingly strange.

……

Chen Wujun thought that after learning the Spirit Ape Hanging Beam stance, his master Zhou Qing would teach him the Swimming Dragon Palm next time.

However, in the following two weeks, Chen Wujun met Zhou Qing twice. Zhou Qing did not teach him the Swimming Dragon Palm, but only had him practice those stances.

As time goes by, the Lunar New Year is getting closer and closer, and even the villages are filled with a festive atmosphere.

Chen Wujun also had many more miscellaneous tasks.

Although he didn't manage the gambling dens much, he would occasionally go and check on them.

Outside, you can see a group of people gathered in front of the job posting sign. Once inside the gambling den, it's even more lively... and smoky.

A group of people were placing bets around nine gambling tables, their faces filled with greed and desire.

"Brother Jun, you're here!" The henchman rushed over to greet Chen Wujun upon seeing him. "Where's Afei?"

"Brother Fei, Brother Fei, Brother Jun is here!" The henchman hurriedly went to inform him.

"Brother Jun, your idea is brilliant! The place has been packed every day lately!" Afei quickly ushered Chen Wujun to the back room.

"Brother Jun, the net profit this month is 22. Business is so good right now, and with the New Year coming soon, it will definitely be even more next month!" Afei introduced with a beaming smile.

After all, there weren't many people in the venue during the first week after I took over.

The number of gamblers gradually increased after that.

Even under these circumstances, there is still a net pumping volume of 22, and next month it will definitely be over 30.

"Where's the account book?"

"Get the money ready too."

A moment later, the henchman had prepared the ledger and money, and the money was divided into two parts.

One was for Shark Nine, and the other was for Chen Wujun.

Chen Wujun first glanced through the ledgers, then placed his hand on a stack of cash, feeling a surge of excitement.

These are all his, and they came from legitimate sources, not stolen. He will receive them every month from now on.

The total is 11, and that's just for this venue.

Chen Wujun first took out a stack of bills, then pulled out 1100 yuan from another stack, and handed the total of 11100 yuan directly to Afei.

"your!"

"Thank you, Brother Jun!" Afei accepted the money in a good mood.

"Notify the others to come in and collect their money."

Chen Wujun said.

These people were actually borrowed from Shark Nine.

But if you receive money from him every month, you'll eventually become one of his people. You can just say hello to Shark Nine when the time comes.

A moment later, the henchmen came in one by one to collect their money.

Except for Afei, everyone else received 3000 yuan.

Hearing the henchman's gratitude, Chen Wujun thought to himself, "Only money can truly move people's hearts."

After distributing all the money, Chen Wujun went to another gambling den. This gambling den only had 5 tables, the entry fee was low, and it wasn't as lively as the big one.

This month's net pumping volume was only 39,000 cubic meters.
Chen Wujun also distributed the money to the currymen and the henchmen.

He then called a henchman to carry the money and follow him to the finance department of Gemdale Corporation.

Upon entering Jindi Finance, Chen Wujun glanced around and saw that Jixiang's henchmen were all busy with their heads down, seemingly oblivious to his presence.

"Can't you see anyone coming in? Are you all blind?" Chen Wujun stood at the door, looking amused.

"Brother Jun, you're here! Sister Shark and Brother Jixiang are inside!" The henchmen "only then noticed him" and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Are you very busy?" Chen Wujun asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's the end of the year, and there are so many debts to collect!" one of the henchmen said hastily.

"That's good, otherwise I would have thought you had a problem with me!" Chen Wujun walked in with a smile, his eyes filled with amusement.

"How could that be? We're so busy we're practically running around like crazy!"

Chen Wujun knocked on the office door and went in. He saw Jixiang, Ahao, Huazi Rong, and Karen sitting on the sofa, smoking and chatting.

"Ah Jun, I heard your place is really popular right now!" Ji Xiang said enthusiastically when he saw Chen Wujun.

"Even if it gets popular, it's still just a small-scale phenomenon. What's really popular here is Brother Jixiang. Everyone's so busy they're practically running around like headless chickens, you can't even see each other!" Chen Wujun said with a grin.

The two exchanged a few laughs.

Chen Wujun took the bag from the henchman and placed it on the table.

“Sister Shark, this is my share. The ledger is here too.”

"What were you thinking, moving the job posting next to the casino?" Shark Nine asked Chen Wujun with a smile.

She hadn't expected Chen Wujun to do it so well.

At first, Chen Wujun's gambling den didn't have many customers, and she was somewhat testing them out.

If you can do well, you're a general; you have skills in all aspects.

If you don't do well... then you can only end up like Cunbao, leading a group of thugs to collect protection money or something.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wujun had some clever ideas. He moved the job posting next to the casino and even set up some kind of rebate coupon, which really livened up the atmosphere.

"There's no other way. The venue was handed over to me by Sister Shark Nine. If I don't do a good job, Sister Shark Nine will lose face. I have to do my best to do it well." Chen Wujun chatted for a few words with a smile, then walked over and sat down next to Ah Hao.

"Tell me about your voucher later, a lot of gamblers are complaining about it!" Ah Hao handed Chen Wujun a cigarette.

"If I don't do this soon, you'll steal all my customers away."

"It's nothing, just have someone go find Afei later!" Chen Wujun lit a cigarette, in a good mood.

The event was successfully organized, which made him look good.

"Ah Jun has some mischievous ideas, but you haven't been to the dance floor in a long time. Come over for a drink sometime!" Karen said with a laugh.

The vouchers that Chen Wujun created not only boosted the gambling den's business but also brought her a lot of business, which made her think more highly of him.

"I'll definitely go when I have time! You know how busy I am right now!" Chen Wujun said with a smile as he exchanged pleasantries with the group.

Jixiang watched this scene with a smile, but a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

I misjudged it.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded in making the gambling den a success.
