Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

Looking at the ashtray in my hand, I was a little confused.

Zhao Hongqi glanced at me sideways: "Gone soft-hearted?"

I shook my head.

It's not that I'm soft-hearted, but is this the right thing to do?

You all calmly forced him to drink, so I'm the only brute?

Seeing that I didn't make a move, Zhao Hongqi didn't say anything, but snatched the ashtray from my hand and smashed it hard on Wang Youcai's head.

With a bang, the ashtray didn't break, but Wang Youcai swayed and fell headfirst to the ground, his head covered in blood.

Zhao Hongqi stepped on Wang Youcai's face and turned to me, saying, "When Wang Long ran away, it was he who notified Wei Laosan, otherwise no one would have known where Wang Long was hiding."

What!

I grabbed Wang Youcai by the collar in anger, stared into his eyes and shouted, "Why did you do this! Why did you kill my cousin?"

Wang Youcai turned his head away, his eyes darting around, and stammered an apology: "I...I'm sorry."

Zhao Hongqi's face darkened: "Can't you speak properly again?"

Wang Youcai trembled with fright. Before I could ask, he quickly said, "I was out of my mind. When Wang Long came to me when he was desperate, I wanted to help him, but... but I also owed a lot of money from gambling at the time."

I even gambled away all the money of the construction site workers.

Just then, someone spread the word that Wei Laosan had spoken, saying that Wang Long owed him 300,000 yuan, and whoever found Wang Long would receive 200,000 yuan.

"I...I didn't expect your cousin to die. I was wrong, Chen An. Please forgive me. I had no choice. I never thought he would die!"

Wang Youcai cried his eyes out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to me repeatedly.

"Fuck your mother!"

I couldn't hold back any longer, so I kicked him hard in the stomach several times, and punched him in the face and body.

I didn't come to my senses until Zhao Hongqi pulled me away.

Seeing Wang Youcai lying in a pool of blood, I was so angry that I trembled all over.

My cousin treated him like a brother, but in the end, this man stabbed him in the back.

Zhao Hongqi glanced at Wang Youcai, who was groaning on the ground, and gestured to Lao Gui with his chin, indicating that they should drag the man away.

It took me a long time to calm down before I turned to Zhao Hongqi and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."

I knew in my heart that if it weren't for helping me get justice for my cousin, Zhao Hongqi wouldn't have needed to resort to violence at all. If Wang Youcai turned around and called the police, a whole bunch of trouble would fall on his shoulders.

Zhao Hongqi glared at me: "Why are you being so formal with your own brothers? If anyone dares to make things difficult for you in the future, they're going against me, Zhao Hongqi. Feeling better now?"

I nodded: "Much better."

"Good my ass! Look at your face, it's as long as my shoehorn!"

Zhao Hongqi patted my shoulder: "Alright, let's put this behind us. Don't hold it in your heart anymore. Let bygones be bygones. The dead can't be brought back to life."

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to me.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the large IOU that my cousin had written back then.

"This is the IOU that Wang Long wrote back then. You risked your life to save me last time, and Wang Long is gone too. This debt is wiped clean, and you don't have to pay back the money."

I stood there, stunned, my tongue tumbling out: "Really...really I don't have to pay it back?"

Zhao Hongqi took out a lighter and lit the IOU.

Watching the flames slowly engulf the IOU, Zhao Hongqi laughed and cursed, "What? Is my life worth less than a few million? Making my own brother pay back the money? If word gets out, people in the underworld will gossip about me. I can't afford to lose face like that... Alright, stop looking at me like that. I'm not a woman. There are women right here!"

He gestured with his chin toward the door of the private room.

I turned my head and saw that the old ghost who had just left was leading a group of tall, young and beautiful girls into the room.

Besides Zhao Hongqi and me, there were quite a few of Zhao Hongqi's people in the private room, and each of them was assigned a pretty girl.

Zhao Hongqi and I each have two.

In the past, when I accompanied clients, I would sometimes hire girls to drink with them, but the clients were always the main focus, and I was just the one smiling and behaving in a polite manner.

But things are different now. Those two girls are not only the prettiest in the room, but they also treated me like royalty.

With just a glance from me, they know what I'm going to do.

I thought to myself, no wonder those bosses like to come to the club. Even the migrant workers who do hard labor on construction sites would rather eat steamed buns for a month than not come to the club to have some fun on the day they get paid.

"How about we take the upstairs neighbors to relax?"

Zhao Hongqi sat down with a wine glass in his hand, giving me a malicious smile.

I quickly waved my hand and said no, I'm not used to it.

Zhao Hongqi thought I didn't like this kind, and said he would give me another batch, but I refused.

Zhao Hongqi didn't force them, and sang with his arms around the two girls.

"Brother, can I ask you for a favor?"

I looked at Zhao Hongqi.

Zhao Hongqi patted the waists of the two beautiful women beside him, signaling them to go and have fun on their own.

"Why are you being so formal? What's the matter? Who do you want to mess with?"

Zhao Hongqi lit a cigarette, raised his glass and clinked it against mine, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

I looked at him sincerely and said, "Brother, I want to work with you."

Zhao Hongqi was taken aback for a moment, then asked me, "I remember you were at Yunding Logistics, weren't you? That old woman Zhang Dongting treated you badly, so why do you suddenly want to work for me? Do you even know what I do?"

I said I knew.

"Knowing I was coming, why did you come? Are you out of your mind? Get out!"

Zhao Hongqi waved to me and beckoned to the two young ladies, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with me on this topic.

I quickly grabbed him: "Brother, I'm serious."

Zhao Hongqi looked at me in surprise: "Really? It wasn't just a momentary impulse?"

I nodded vigorously: "It's true!"

I'm not kidding. The idea of ​​following Zhao Hongqi isn't something I've had for a day or two; it's something I've thought about for a long time before making this decision.

Zhang Dongting's logistics company is indeed very good, with good benefits, easy work, and the ability to take leave whenever I want, but I can't see a way out for myself.

Don't let my current position as the top salesperson in the business department fool you; I know in my heart that without Bai Yan's hands-on guidance and Zhang Dongting's introduction of clients, I wouldn't have been able to close a single deal.

I don't want to live my whole life under the care of others, and I don't want to stand by and watch the people around me being bullied without being able to do anything about it.

Especially when I think about how I was threatened by the boss when I first came to Chuncheng to get fake documents, my cousin's tragic death, and Su Wan being forced to accompany customers for drinks.

The fact that Zhang Dongting was threatened by her ex-husband further solidified my resolve.

If I am strong enough, then I can protect everyone!
