Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

After inspecting all six venues, it was already afternoon.

Chen Feng sat in a private room on the second floor of the billiards hall, six ledgers spread out in front of him. Monkey helped him organize them, while Da Zhuang stood guard at the door.

"Brother Feng, I've done the math." Monkey pointed to the numbers in the ledger. "These six venues have a total of over twenty employees. Zhao Biao used to pay them very low wages and often delayed payments. I think we should..."

"A raise," Chen Feng said without hesitation. "Two hundred more per person per month. Also, from now on, wages will be paid on time, no delays allowed."

"In that case, our costs will..."

"Monkey, think long-term. Higher costs mean more stability," Chen Feng said, leaning back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the street outside the window. "These people followed Zhao Biao before because they had no other choice. Now that we treat them well, they'll naturally follow us wholeheartedly."

The monkey nodded and wrote down Chen Feng's decision in the ledger.

"Oh, right," Chen Feng suddenly remembered something, "how are the arrangements for Lin Fang and Liu Yu going?"

"Everything's arranged." Monkey grinned. "Sister Lin went to manage the accounts at the Dream City arcade, and Sister Yu is in charge of the two video arcades. I also sent a few clever guys to keep an eye on things on both sides to ensure safety."

"Okay." Chen Feng stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go take a look."

It was peak time, and the lobby was filled with electronic sound effects and the noise of young people. Chen Feng walked through the noisy crowd and went straight to the backstage office.

Instead of pushing the door open, he peeked inside through the crack.

Lin Fang sat at her desk, a thick stack of game tokens and colorful banknotes piled in front of her. Today, she wore a soft white shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her long hair was casually pulled back, a few strands falling beside her ears, swaying gently as she lowered her head. Her earnest and serene appearance warmed Chen Feng's heart.

Chen Feng gently pushed the door open and then clicked the lock shut behind him.

Hearing the noise, Lin Fang assumed it was the waiter bringing the bill and said without looking up, "Just put it on the table, I'll order more later."

"Where should I put it? Can't I just put it in my heart?"

Hearing that familiar teasing voice, Lin Fang suddenly looked up and saw Chen Feng leaning against the door frame with a mischievous grin. The surprise in her eyes instantly turned into delight, and the smile that bloomed in that instant seemed to brighten the whole room.

"Why are you here?" She put down her pen and was about to stand up.

Chen Feng had already walked a few steps behind her, placing his hands on the back of the chair, trapping her between himself and the table. He lowered his head, his nose almost touching her earlobe, and took a deep breath, inhaling her unique, faint jasmine scent.

"Let's see if our housekeeper has become obsessed with money." Chen Feng's deep, magnetic voice brushed against Lin Fang's sensitive neck with a warm breath.

Lin Fang trembled slightly, her cheeks quickly flushing red. Instead of flinching, she leaned back into Chen Feng's arms, playfully scolding, "Who's obsessed with money? I'm just helping you manage the family business. This mess, the accounts are all over the place, I have to sort it out bit by bit."

"You've worked hard." Chen Feng's large hand slid down her shoulder, gently grasping her soft hand that was counting money, his fingertips caressing the back of her hand. "How is it? Is this work tiring? If you're tired, just hand it over to the people below. You just need to collect the money."

"Not tired." Lin Fang turned her head, her eyes sparkling like a pool of spring water as she looked at Chen Feng. "It's much better than in the Golden Splendor. Back then, although I was also in charge, I was always on edge and had to put on a smiling face. Now... even though I'm just sitting here counting these small bills, I feel at ease."

She took Chen Feng's hand in her own, squeezed it gently, and her eyes softened with affection: "Chen Feng, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile curving his lips. "If you're going to thank me, just saying it won't do."

Lin Fang's face flushed even redder, like a ripe apple. She bit her lower lip and mumbled softly, "Then... then what do you want? This is the office..."

"What's wrong with the office?" Chen Feng grinned mischievously, leaned closer, and gently kissed her smooth forehead before sliding his hand down to whisper in her ear, "The office... is more exciting."

"You! You're so frivolous!" Lin Fang said shyly, lightly punching his chest, but she didn't really hit him hard; it was more like she was being coquettish.

Chen Feng seized the opportunity to grab her wrist, pulled her up from the chair, and drew her into his arms. The two were pressed close together, and Lin Fang could clearly feel the warmth of Chen Feng's chest and his strong heartbeat.

"The money is yours to manage." Chen Feng lowered his head and lightly pecked her red lips, his eyes burning. "You are mine to manage."

Lin Fang's eyelashes trembled, and she closed her eyes, savoring this moment of tenderness and dominance.

Chen Feng seized her wrist and gently pulled her up from the chair. He hugged her from behind, one arm around her slender waist, the other reaching down.

"You bad guy..." she muttered softly, but she wasn't really angry. Instead, she obediently leaned into his arms.

Another storm of events ensued...

After a long while, the two separated. Lin Fang's shirt was slightly disheveled, revealing a small patch of fair skin and a red lace bra strap. Lin Fang lay on the table, panting heavily... Chen Feng smoked a cigarette with a satisfied expression.

Emerging from the arcade, Chen Feng felt refreshed. Monkey and Da Zhuang, on the other hand, wore mischievous grins. Walking south along Shengli Road for two hundred meters, they arrived at "Celebrity Video Arcade."

This is the larger of the two video arcades. Several posters of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are hanging at the entrance, including Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Joey Wong... all of whom were the most popular faces of that era.

As soon as Chen Feng stepped inside, he heard Liu Yuzhong's energetic voice coming from within.

"How can you be so stupid? These videotapes need to be categorized by genre! Action movies to one side, romance movies to another, horror movies to yet another! You can't even do something this simple? Have you lost your mind?"

A young man was scolded until his face turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

"And that one over there! The ashtray is full, why don't you empty it? Are you waiting for customers to complain?"

Liu Yu stood with her hands on her hips, looking every bit the imposing queen surveying her territory. Today, she had specially changed into a smart outfit: a black fitted T-shirt tucked into her jeans, accentuating her slender waist and pert hips, paired with a pair of high heels, making her look both cool and sexy.

"Sister Yu is establishing her authority," Da Zhuang whispered behind Chen Feng. "She's even more intimidating than our brothers."

Chen Feng smiled slightly and deliberately made his footsteps louder as he went inside.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yu turned around and saw Chen Feng. The seriousness on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of awkward shyness. She subconsciously straightened her hair and said, feigning composure, "You...what are you doing here?"

"Just came to see you." Chen Feng looked around the newly renovated video rental shop and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, you did a great job."

The video arcade had indeed changed. The floor was spotless, the seats were neatly rearranged, and even the posters on the walls had been re-framed, making it look much cleaner.
