Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties
Chapter 208 Another City Taken
Bai Wei stood on the second-floor balcony, her hands gripping the iron railing, looking down at the vast crowd.
Sunlight streamed down from behind her, outlining a tall and slender silhouette.
Chen Feng stood like a silent guardian, hands in his pockets, half a step behind her.
This woman is starting to win people's hearts.
"Fellow workers, this is Bai Wei."
The sound came through an old loudspeaker, carrying a slight hissing sound of electricity, yet it was still crisp and powerful.
The workers below quieted down, and hundreds of eyes turned to look at the balcony.
"I know you've all suffered during this time."
Bai Wei spoke slowly, pausing between each word.
"Because there's a corrupt official in the company who, for his own selfish gain, caused the factory to shut down, cutting off everyone's livelihood. Now you have plenty of strength but nowhere to use it, and you have wives and children to support."
Several elderly workers lowered their heads, their expressions somber.
Most of them are the breadwinners of their families. Only they know how difficult it was for their families to go hungry during the two weeks of work stoppage.
"but--"
Bai Wei's voice suddenly rose, her gaze sharp as a knife.
"These days are over from today onwards!"
She raised her hand and pointed towards the main entrance.
There, on the ground, were several pools of dark red blood, a shocking sight under the sunlight.
"The crow has been driven away! His men are crippled too! From now on, the West District will still be dominated by thugs!"
She paused slightly, a domineering smile curving her lips.
"I hereby announce that Qingyun Quarry is fully operational again today! Starting this month, the base salary for all current employees will be increased by 100 yuan!"
"One hundred yuan!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
That was in the late 1990s. One hundred yuan could buy fifty kilograms of rice, enough for a family to eat well for half a month.
"Also—this month's bonus is doubled! As long as the machines are running, I, Bai Wei, will never let any of my brothers down!"
After he finished speaking, the entire room was silent for two seconds.
Then, the crowd completely erupted.
"A hundred percent increase? Damn it, really a hundred percent increase?"
"Sister-in-law Bai is truly righteous!"
"Let's get started! Let's get started right away!"
The workers' previously numb and fearful faces instantly radiated with vitality.
Nothing soothes the heart more than real money, and nothing gives a greater sense of security than a strong yet generous boss.
Cheers rose and fell, shaking the iron railings slightly.
Bai Wei stood on the balcony, looking at the bustling crowd below, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.
At that moment, she radiated a captivating glow known as "power".
Chen Feng stood behind her, his gaze deepening slightly as he looked at Bai Wei's pear-shaped figure from behind.
The black business suit hugged her figure perfectly, highlighting her sharp shoulders, slender waist, and rounded, full hips.
As she waved and spoke, the unique charm of a mature woman and the domineering aura of a leader blended perfectly, creating an aura that was impossible to look away from.
The long, slender, snow-white nape gleamed like jade in the sunlight, with a few wisps of hair falling gently and swaying in the breeze.
Chen Feng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his tongue unconsciously pressed against the roof of his mouth as he silently sighed inwardly.
This woman is most alluring when she's focused on her career...
At Bai Wei's command, Lao Wu led the workers to their respective positions quickly.
"Boom—"
After being silent for half a month, the stone crusher roared again.
The massive conveyor belt began to operate, swallowing the raw stones into the belly of the steel behemoth, crushing and sifting them, and spitting out neat rows of gravel.
Smoke and dust billowed up, and machines roared.
To Chen Feng and Bai Wei, it was the most beautiful music in the world—the sound of money swishing into their pockets.
"Brother Feng!"
The monkey trotted over, "It's already noon, brothers, we're starving!"
Chen Feng glanced at his watch; it was past midnight.
"Sister Bai, what are some good restaurants in Xicheng?"
Bai Wei tidied a stray hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling:
"There's a long-established local Shanghainese restaurant. Let's go, it's my treat today."
The lunch was particularly lively.
Bai Wei booked the entire second floor of the restaurant.
Fried shrimp, braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs... dishes were served one after another.
Liquor is sold by the case, and beer by the jug.
Dozens of brothers clinked glasses and exchanged toasts.
Bai Wei raised her wine glass, her voice softer than usual:
"This glass is for you. Without you, I wouldn't be sitting here today."
Chen Feng raised his glass, clinked it lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
"They're all on our side. Besides, Sister Bai's speech really got me fired up."
Bai Wei was amused, her eyes and brows brimming with charm:
"You're so sweet-talking."
The convoy set off again at 1:30 p.m.
This time, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Because news travels faster than a cartwheel.
The events of the morning spread throughout Xicheng District in less than two hours, and the stories became increasingly bizarre.
"I heard that guy surnamed Chen sent three people flying with one punch!"
"I heard he overturned Crow's car with a single blow!"
In the end, Chen Feng was almost rumored to be a monster with three heads and six arms.
First stop: Xijiaohe Sand Field.
When the convoy pulled up at the gate, Chen Feng was stunned.
The people inside the venue actually lined up at the main entrance—not to block them, but to welcome them.
"Sister Bai is here! Welcome back, sister-in-law!"
A middle-aged man in a vest ran at the front, his face beaming with smiles.
"Sister Bai, we've wanted to change bosses for ages! That bastard Crow docks our wages, he's worse than a dog!"
Chen Feng almost burst out laughing.
These opportunists change their tune faster than turning the pages of a book.
Bai Wei was unfazed and got out of the car to take inventory of the assets and personnel.
The whole process went so smoothly it was like a formality.
The situation was similar at the next few venues.
Some of the managers took the initiative to pledge their loyalty, and some workers spontaneously drove away the people left behind by the crows.
"Brother Feng, this is going too smoothly!"
Er Gou rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, and said with a face full of regret, "All that muscle I've built up has been for nothing."
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Our goal is to take control of the territory, not to kill anyone."
He glanced at the sky; the sun was already setting in the west.
"Let's go, last stop."
It was exactly 6 p.m.
The neon sign of the last nightclub lit up again, the two characters "Bai Wei" shimmering with a bewitching light in the twilight.
Bai Wei stood at the door, looking at the brand-new plaque, and let out a long sigh of relief.
From being driven to the brink of despair by the crows last night to regaining control of West City today...
It's only been a few days.
It's like an eternity.
She turned around and looked at Chen Feng, who was standing to the side.
The man was lighting a cigarette with his head down, the firelight illuminating his angular face and outlining a deep profile.
Without him... she dared not think about it.
I don't want to think about it.
"Chen Feng."
Bai Wei spoke, her voice much softer than usual, carrying a hint of languor from being slightly tipsy.
"Um?"
Chen Feng exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced at her sideways.
"tonight……"
Bai Wei lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.
"Come over for dinner."
"OK."
Chen Feng put a cigarette in his mouth, a slow smile playing on his lips. "Perfect timing to try Sister Bai's cooking."
This is not just polite talk.
It's more like an invitation that only the two of them would understand.
Bai Wei looked up and met his somewhat wicked gaze, and her heart inexplicably raced.
The evening breeze blew by, lifting the stray hairs by her ears.
It was as ambiguous as a silent test...
