So Pure, So Flirtatious

Those who had a drink here tended to talk about their worries. Everyone talked about their own matters, and they didn’t interfere with each other. Who would want to share a table with others? At that time, not only can’t you talk, but you wouldn’t feel happy if you are drinking alcohol. You would feel restrained when eating your dinner, too.

Li Dagang frowned. He wasn’t a good person previously. He used to mingle with Yang Ming in the underworld. He had guts to do anything. He would beat up anyone without hesitation.

However, now he had become a good citizen. Besides, his cousin was here. Li Dagang knew that his cousin’s temper wasn’t the kind of person who would stir up trouble, so he didn’t become enraged on the spot.

Besides, the other party had a lot of other people, and they had only two. Although if they really fought, his cousin, Li Dadong, definitely would not just stand aside. But after all, he wasn’t a character who could fight. There was almost no difference in having him there.

“We are talking about something. It is inconvenient to share a table with others.” Li Dagang said to the man.

” Heh , you are quite arrogant. Do you know what my boss does?” In fact, if this matter happened at a normal time, it wasn’t a big deal. Recently, Song Jiang’s underworld executives had been strict to their underlings. They were not allowed to harass civilians. However, Li Dagang disrespected them in front of so many people. They were a little embarrassed, so they said this.

“Do you know what my boss does?” Since Li Dagang meet Yang Ming last time, he saw the series of things that happened with Yang Ming. He knew that Yang Ming wasn’t normal now. Probably the people in the underworld had to give face. Otherwise, Guo Jianchao, who had an underworld background, wouldn’t have left in vain.

“Your boss? You are also from the underworld?” The underling was stunned. He thought, Don’t offend my own people from the same gang because of unfamiliarity! The taboo in the underworld is fighting with your own people. If he is really one of us, then I will certainly be punished if my boss learns about it!

Of course, the boss here wasn’t his direct boss, but the big shot above. It would be the few men, Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.

“He isn’t really in the underworld. My boss is Yang Ming. Do you know him?” said Li Dagang, giving it a try.

“Yang Ming? Who?” The underling was inexplicable, but there were too many small bosses in the gang. How could they know each one of them? So he said, “Where is his territory?”

The underling didn’t know about that, but the strong man who was the leader trembled with fear. He quickly ran over and kicked his underling. “F*ck, can’t we eat at another place if there are no seats? Do you want to show your big *ss?”

The underling was ashamed of being kicked by him. He didn’t know what was going on. He only heard his boss saying respectfully to Li Dagang, “Brother, I’m sorry. My underling doesn’t know the rules. I will punish him when we go back! Sorry for troubling your dinner. This meal is on me. I will pay the bill…”

“There is no need for that. We haven’t finished yet. We need to order something else in a while.” Li Dagang didn’t think that the name Yang Ming was so good. The trouble was solved after he simply mentioned it.

“This is a must, a must…” The boss took out his wallet from his pocket and took out five hundred yuan from it. He handed it to the owner of the barbecue booth, Old Man Wang, and said, “I will pay the bill for these two brothers. If it’s enough, refund the money to them. If it’s not enough, I will make it up. I will put this five hundred yuan here first!”

“No problem!” Old Man Wang knew the boss. He quickly collected the five hundred yuan. For a barbecue, it wouldn’t cost more than five hundred yuan, no matter how much these two people ate. Besides, even if they could, Old Man Wang also knew that a reputable boss like the leader would certainly not renege on a debt.

Recently, the punks in Song Jiang’s underworld obviously became well-behaved. They would pay after having a meal, and there were fewer troubles. Old Man Wang was also a person who was at the bottom of society. His news was also well-informed. He knew that Song Jiang’s underworld had changed. A more decent boss had taken the position. He had strict regulations for his underlings.

Those who come out to do business only wanted stability, but they didn’t care about the monthly protection fees. They were afraid that these people would collect protection fees and enjoy free meals at their shops. Then, they couldn’t afford to run their businesses anymore.

The current situation made these people very happy. Every month, the protection fee was voluntarily paid. These people in the underworld could really serve as a protective role. Moreover, they were now very formal. They were all security guards of the security company to maintain market security.

With these people in the market, the number of rogues who reneged on debt and fought in the market had reduced. All in all, these businessmen had gained some benefits.

When Li Dagang noticed that the leader ingratiated himself with them, it became inappropriate to reject him. “Thank you then!”

“No need to thank us. We are all on the same side!” The leader said, “My name is Zhang Penbai. This night market is my territory. If you need my help in the future, just say it!”

The reason why he told his name to Li Dagang, Zhang Penbai was hesitant about it. If Li Dagang said something bad about him in front of Yang Ming, he would be finished.

Then again, even if he didn’t tell, Yang Ming could simply ask whose territory this night market belonged to if he wanted to know. Then Yang Ming would know his name, so it was not that neat. With the help of Yang Ming, he could even climb to a higher position.

And this Zhang Penbai was the Zhang Penbai of the Immortal Resort previously! He was fired because he ruined the good things of Sui Guangqi.

At that time, Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia didn’t make a mistake. Sui Guangqi instructed two of Zhang Penbai’s underlings to pretend an act, but he didn’t expect Zhang Penbai to screw up the matter!

When Sui Guangqi was angry, he fired Zhang Penbai. After Zhang Penbai in his thirties was unemployed, there was no other way to earn a living, and he had no other skills. So, under a friend’s recommendation, he came to Song Jiang to follow Bao Sanli. He joined the security company, and he was sent to the market management office of the night market to be a security guard.

Of course, this was just a name. Zhang Penbai was the captain of the security team at the night market. But in fact, he was just looking after the territory. It was just in different terms. However, although it might be just another term, the meaning was completely different. The nature of Zhang Penbai’s work had changed from illegal to legal.

And those owners also understood what was going on. They really didn’t need an ordinary security guard. Only when Zhang Penbai’s group could quickly help them when they were in trouble, that they were willing to pay.

Although the current work wasn’t as leisurely as it was, it wasn’t bad. At least, now he had more underlings and he was more bad*ss than before.

The main culprit of this incident was Yang Ming. Zhang Penbai naturally paid attention to it just because he was unemployed because of Yang Ming. No matter how Zhang Penbai had to inquire about Yang Ming’s background from many aspects, right?

However, at one time out of the blue, Zhang Penbai saw Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, both of them were accompanying Yang Ming. When he saw that the three men talked and laughed, Zhang Penbai immediately dismissed the idea to exact revenge on Yang Ming!

If Yang Ming could let his two bosses accompany him, could he be a normal person? So, Zhang Penbai immediately had the intention to foster a connection with him. After all, there was a small conflict between them. If he could utilize this opportunity, maybe it could really be his ladder of success.

It was precisely because of that, when Zhang Penbai heard that Li Dagang’s boss was Yang Ming, he didn’t dare to neglect it, and quickly ran to apologize.

“Brother Bai, my name is Li Dagang, the high school classmate of Brother Yang. I used to mingle with Brother Yang!” Li Dagang said.

“Brother Gang, then I won’t bother you two to drink. Let us talk again another day! Yes, this is my business card. Next time if you come here to drink, you must call me!” Zhang Penbai gave Li Dagang a business card. Then he didn’t stay any longer. He left with his underlings.

After walking for a distance, the underling who was ashamed asked out of fear and trepidation, “Brother Bai, who is Yang Ming?”

“F*ck!” Zhang Penbai gave the underling another slap. “Can you directly address Brother Yang’s name? He is a good friend of Brother Bao and Brother Hou!”

” Ah ? Then am I not in trouble?” This underling wasn’t stupid. He was worried when he heard it.

“Aren’t you lucky to have me cleaning your *ss? Be more sensible next time. Don’t stir up trouble!” Zhang Penbai snorted.

“Thank you, Brother Bai!” The underling said gratefully, “I won’t dare stir up trouble again in the future!”

“If you understand then it’s good. Let’s go and find a place to drink and celebrate!” said Zhang Penbai.

“Celebrate? What are you celebrating?” asked the confused underling.

“Stupid! Isn’t this an opportunity? Maybe I can get to know Brother Yang because of Brother Gang just now!” Zhang Penbai said. People who belong to the underworld, regardless of age, could be addressed as ‘brother’ if they were capable. So Zhang Penbai who was in his thirties didn’t feel wrong to call Li Dagang as ‘brother.’

On the other hand, Li Dadong was surprised and frowned. He was thinking about the conversation between his cousin and Zhang Penbai.

Yang Ming, is he the Yang Ming that I met with today?

“Brother, the Yang Ming that you mentioned just now. What is his job?” Li Dadong finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Yang Ming? He is my high school buddy and also my boss…” said Li Dagang
