Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

The door to the manager's office was gently pushed open.

Chen Feng followed Jiang Hong inside.

"Sit down." Jiang Hong took off her trench coat, casually hung it on the hanger, and walked to the leather boss's chair behind the desk to sit down.

Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

"Tea or water?" Jiang Hong asked.

"Anything is fine."

Jiang Hong pressed the intercom on the table: "Xiao Li, bring in two cups of Pu'er tea."

After hanging up the phone, she looked up, her eyes, which seemed to see right through people, quietly gazing at Chen Feng.

Do you know why I called you up here?

Chen Feng thought for a moment: "Because of Mad Dog Qiang's matter?"

"That's only one aspect." Jiang Hong lit a slender cigarette, took a deep drag, and elegantly exhaled a smoke ring. "Chen Feng, you're smart and a good fighter. But in this industry, fists alone aren't enough."

"I know," Chen Feng nodded, "but it still requires brains."

"It's not just about brains." Jiang Hong stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the night view. "You also need ambition."

"Ambition?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.

"Yes, ambition." Jiang Hong turned around, her gaze fixed intently on him. "Why did you come to Donghai? To make money? To get ahead? Or to end up like today, standing up for a young girl and then having a gun pointed at your head?"

Chen Feng remained silent for a moment.

"I want to make money," he said frankly, "a lot of money, then go home and get married."

"It's a very simple wish." Jiang Hong smiled, but there was a hint of deeper meaning in her smile. "But have you thought about it? How much money can you make as a security captain in Jinbihuihuang, or even as a manager? Five thousand a month? Ten thousand? In Donghai, that amount of money can't even buy a decent house."

Chen Feng didn't speak, but listened quietly. He knew that Sister Hong's words had a hidden meaning.

"A guy like Mad Dog Qiang, although he's a thug, has a real business—sand and transportation." Jiang Hong walked up to him, leaned down, and placed her hands on the sofa armrests, instantly closing the distance between them until Chen Feng could smell her faint fragrance. "This is the real money-making business. Of course, you're not in that circle yet."

Chen Feng's eyes flickered: "What Sister Hong means is..."

"Do a good job." Jiang Hong reached out and gently straightened his slightly disheveled tie. "What I value in you is your ruthlessness and loyalty. As long as you can truly establish yourself in Jinbihuihuang, and even clean up that mess that Hei Pi is making for me, in the future... I'll have plenty of opportunities to show you even bigger things."

This is not a promise, it's just empty talk.

But this pie in the sky looks very tempting.

"I understand, Sister Hong." Chen Feng looked at her. "I will lead Group Three well."

"It's not just Group Three." Jiang Hong straightened up, her eyes becoming meaningful. "Hei Pi has been in this position for too long. He's become a bit slick and clumsy. I need a new knife, a sharp and obedient one."

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. Was this a prelude to him replacing Hei Pi?

"Don't worry, Sister Hong, I know what to do."

Jiang Hong nodded in satisfaction, took a thick envelope from the drawer, and threw it in front of Chen Feng.

"This is ten thousand yuan."

Chen Feng was taken aback: "Sister Hong, what's this...?"

"Consider this a bonus, and also as compensation for the girl's medical expenses," Jiang Hong said calmly. "Although she was disobedient, she's still someone from my shop, and I can't let people laugh at us. Take the rest and treat the brothers to a meal to win them over."

Chen Feng looked at the envelope, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Ten thousand yuan was a huge sum for him, but for Jiang Hong, it was just a stack of papers she casually tossed aside.

"Thank you, Sister Hong." Chen Feng put away the envelope, stood up, and said, "I'm going to work now."

"Get lost." Jiang Hong waved her hand. "Remember, although tonight's matter is settled, people like Mad Dog Qiang and Wang Defa are like mad dogs; once they bite, they won't let go. They won't dare to act openly, but they'll definitely resort to underhanded tricks behind the scenes. Be careful."

"understood."

Watching Chen Feng's departing figure, the smile on Jiang Hong's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

"This kid has potential," she murmured to herself. "With a little polishing, he'll amount to something great."

……

After leaving the office, Chen Feng did not go straight downstairs, but stood by the window in the corridor and lit a cigarette.

The faces of Mad Dog Qiang, Wang Defa, Jiang Hong... flashed through his mind.

"Brother Feng!"

A call interrupted his thoughts.

Looking back, I saw the monkey running towards me, sweating profusely, its face beaming with undisguised excitement.

"Brother Feng, are you alright? What did Sister Hong say to you?"

Chen Feng stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can: "It's nothing, we just talked about work."

He patted the bulging envelope in his pocket: "Come on, call Dazhuang, it's my treat for supper tonight."

"Hehe, Feng-ge, you're awesome!" Monkey's eyes lit up. "Feng-ge, those guys were all talking about you just now, saying that your blow was so cool! That Ah Bao is usually so arrogant, but you took him down in one go! Now everyone respects you!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Whether you're convinced or not isn't something you can decide with words. What about Dazhuang?"

"They're keeping watch downstairs," Monkey said. "Brother Feng, does that mean we'll be following you from now on?"

Chen Feng looked into the monkey's expectant eyes and a thought struck him.

In a place as opulent as this, going it alone is not an option. No matter how skilled he is, he only has two hands. He needs helpers, he needs brothers.

Although the monkey was a bit timid, he was quick-witted and well-informed; although Dazhuang was a bit simple-minded, he was loyal, reliable, and quite skilled.

These two men can be his right-hand men.

"As long as you don't mind, we're brothers." Chen Feng patted Monkey on the shoulder.

"That's great!" The monkey was so excited he almost jumped up. "Brother Feng, from now on, if you say go east, I'll never go west!"

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head: "Let's go down and take a look."

……

Back in the lobby on the first floor, the atmosphere had returned to normal.

The way the security guards looked at Chen Feng had completely changed; it was now filled with awe and obsequiousness. Even the usually arrogant supervisors and waiters addressed him politely as "Brother Feng."

This is the change brought about by strength.

Blackie stood in the corner, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water. He had originally intended to use Mad Dog Qiang to get rid of Chen Feng, but unexpectedly, it only enhanced Chen Feng's reputation. Now, everyone in the place followed Chen Feng's lead, and his authority as the security captain had completely vanished.

"Brother Blackie." Chen Feng walked straight up to Blackie.

Dark-skinned man was startled and instinctively took a step back, but then realized he was being cowardly, so he forced himself to straighten his chest and asked, "W-what?"

"Sister Hong said you need to submit this month's work schedule and attendance records tomorrow," Chen Feng said casually.

"What?" Dark-skinned man's expression changed slightly. "A work schedule? What does she need that for?"

"I don't know about that." Chen Feng looked at Blackie's flustered eyes and sneered inwardly. It seemed that Blackie was not only dishonest, but also drawing salaries without working.

"I...I understand." Blackie gritted his teeth, not daring to look at Chen Feng again, and turned to leave in a hurry.

Chen Feng watched the disheveled figure of the man in black, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Sister Hong's "knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger" tactic was quite effective; it both intimidated Blackie and gave Chen Feng the opportunity to establish his authority.
