"Phew..."
The boss took a deep breath, slowly slumped into his chair, and lit a cigarette which he brought to his lips before slowly closing his eyes.
At this mont, he had no way out.
He had pushed himself onto the gambling table.
Win, and the rest of his life would be smooth sailing.
Lose, and suicide would be his only destination.
...
"That guy won't plan to quickly sell off that batch of goods within these three days and then use the money to play tricks on you, Miao?"
The Hungry Monkey muttered as he walked out of Haina Supernatural Store.
"Perhaps."
Chen Miao, leaning on a cane, walked toward the Seventh District and laughed lightly, "But what of it? One of the first lessons in business is to 'get sothing for nothing.' When I was doing business in the past, I often sold to custors without even a product, let alone a sample, and then used the custors' money to make the product."
"Give soone else a chance."
"I find that boss quite interesting, and he fights hard. I really want to see if he can make it."
"Let's go. 20 million should be enough."
"The brothers have worked hard these days. Take them for a good al, buy a few cars, then go to the club and splurge a little, as a reward for the brothers."
"Oh, right—"
Suddenly he thought of sothing and turned his head to look at Yuan Buping and the group behind him, "Which one of you is Wen?"
"Miao, I'm Wen."
A young man in a black suit, looking sowhat apprehensive, stepped forward. He had never spoken directly with Miao and was confused about why his na was suddenly called out. Pathetically, his legs began to tremble.
"You're Wen?"
Chen Miao sized up Wen, who appeared sowhat refined with his glasses, and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Yuan Buping told , you fought hard the night before last, always at the forefront, and you got quite injured?"
"How are the injuries? Are you okay?"
Standing next to Chen Miao, Yuan Buping was montarily stunned; he hadn't expected Miao to rember the casual remark he made.
"Ah?"
Wen stood frozen, then suddenly realized and, looking gratefully at Yuan Buping, puffed up his chest and excitedly proclaid, "Reporting back to Miao, so minor injuries are of no consequence. You've done so much for us these days, Miao. If I didn't do anything, it would feel like I was taking advantage for nothing. I couldn't reconcile that in my heart."
"A few small wounds count for little. Yuan has already taken for treatnt."
"Hmm."
Chen Miao smiled and nodded, then took out the Hidden Job Transfer Book for Sharpshooter from his pocket and handed it over, "See if you like this occupation. Though it's not the fighter you prefer, it can be very useful in many situations."
He ultimately hadn't sold that book.
Because he suddenly realized that although he didn't need the item, he could give it to his people instead, making it convenient for any future assassinations.
"This..."
Wen looked at the Hidden Job Transfer Book for Sharpshooter in his hands, his face alight with excitent, and yelled, "I love it, thank you Miao!"
"Tsk."
The Hungry Monkey, standing to the side, laughed and clicked his tongue, "That was quick. Not even a hint of reluctance."
"Hehe."
Wen stood behind the others, chuckling foolishly, looking down at the Hidden Job Transfer Book for Sharpshooter in his hands. Unlike the others, he had always wanted to beco a gunman, and now he even had a Hidden Occupation book for it, which completely satisfied him.
...
In the midst of their conversation, the group had already arrived at a 4s car dealership in the North City District of Fengtian City.
Ready to buy cars.
They walked boldly into the dealership nad "Hao River." The manager t them without hesitation, a broad smile on his face, while gesturing frantically to his subordinates to go find help.
These visitors looked as if they were out to make trouble.
The dealership had paid a protection fee to a certain underground force, and in such situations, it was more appropriate to let this force handle the issue.
Underground matters required an underground solution.
The Enforcent Bureau couldn't do anything to these hooligans either. These people didn't wreck the place; they just stood by your door, blocking it, or made loud noises and spat randomly, affecting the business. Even if you called the police, at most, they would just scold them and let them go.
And once released, they would continue the harassnt.
Businesses with a fixed storefront like theirs couldn't afford to offend such people. To deal with them, it was more reliable to get the underground to step in. The Enforcent Bureau wouldn't dare to hit people on a whim, but those underground guys sure would.
"Buying cars, black sedans, uniform model, on-site vehicles, 10 units."
Chen Miao glanced at the vehicles displayed in the 4s shop, surveyed the surroundings, and quickly picked out a black sedan priced at 680,000 yuan. Pointing to the car, he looked at the approaching manager and said casually, "Do you have 10 on-site units available? If so, I'll drive them away right now."
"Hold on—"
He suddenly realized sothing and turned to Hungry Monkey and the others, "Do you guys have driver's licenses? Can you drive?"
"Uh..."
The Hungry Monkey lowered his head, sowhat embarrassed, "I definitely can't drive."
"I can drive."
Yuan Buping nodded emphatically, "All of our brothers can drive. Everyone got a driver's license because we thought about being drivers. Then everyone got a license, but we didn't continue that way for various reasons."
"Good."
Chen Miao nodded in satisfaction, pleased that the young rascals were capable of everything, "Then make it 10 units, and I want the most recent production date. Don't try to sell stock vehicles."
```
"Got it?"
"Got it."
The sowhat overweight manager of the 4S car dealership didn't react at first and was slightly stunned, but finally, realizing that this group of people really didn't seem to be here to make trouble and indeed wanted to buy cars, he hurriedly led the way with excitent, "Please, esteed guests, have a seat and drink so water in the guest room. I'll have soone fetch the contract."
"Cash or installnt?"
"What a dumb question."
Hungry Monkey rolled his eyes disdainfully, "Do we look like the type who's short on cash?"
"Right, right, my apologies, this way please, sirs."
...
anwhile, at the Events Bureau, Zhou Shen, who hadn't been in office long, was in his own office sorting through a pile of docunts and materials left by the previous director before stepping down.
Yes, in order for him to take office, the forr director had resigned voluntarily.
Perhaps at this very mont, he was cursing Zhou Shen in so corner.
But what of it?
Clearly, your godfather is no match for mine, and if your godfather was tough enough, you wouldn't have just resigned. At the very least, you would've transferred to another position.
In most cases, the forr head of an office might just step aside, not simply walk away—unless the people above decided that the forr director was undoubtedly discontented and would likely cause future trouble within the system, making it necessary to let him go.
This also ant that although Chen Miao currently held no official position, his status in Fengtian City was now untouchable by ordinary people.
As long as...
Chen Miao could secure a better result for Fengtian City than last year, he would beco the new king of Fengtian City next year.
And his own ship would rise with the tide.
"Hehe."
Zhou Shen couldn't help but chuckle as he flipped through the files, humming a tune to himself in his office, feeling extrely comfortable and carefree.
And just then—
With a knock on the door, his secretary entered, "Director Zhou, soone nad Wang Haina is requesting to see you outside. He says he's from Sanshui and doesn't have an appointnt, but insists you would definitely et with him."
"Wang Haina? Sanshui?"
Zhou Shen slightly furrowed his brow. Wasn't Sanshui Chen Miao? Chen Miao wouldn't need to send soone like this; he could just notify him through his smartwatch. Although he was puzzled, he calmly sorted the docunts on his desk and waved his hand, "Let him in."
"Yes, Director."
...
Soon—
A sowhat overweight middle-aged man entered the office with a broad smile plastered on his face. As soon as he entered the office, he stretched out his hands and strode towards Zhou Shen, his face full of ingratiating smiles, "Uh, Director Zhou, it's an honor to et you after hearing so much about you. It's truly my privilege to see you in person."
"You may not know , Director Zhou. My na is Wang Haina; I own Haina Supernatural Store. Miao and I have had quite a few collaborations, and I went to the trouble of asking Miao to call you."
As soon as he walked in.
Wang Haina made sure to show a very humble attitude.
Zhou Shen nodded thoughtfully, and before saying anything else, he saw the middle-aged man in front of him offering an anonymous savings card, which made him laugh, "What's this for, coming in and doing this sort of thing?"
"You're that bold?"
"What do you an, 'doing this sort of thing.'" Wang Haina feigned dissatisfaction, "Director Zhou, you've given such a great honor today. Wouldn't I be inhuman not to show my gratitude?"
"That was out of respect for Miao."
Zhou Shen didn't bother hiding his connection with Miao, unlike so who feared people knowing they were linked too closely to a certain power. He was different; he wanted everyone to know he was in with Miao.
"No matter who it's for, if I've benefited, I've definitely got to show my gratitude."
Zhou Shen just smiled and didn't say a word, pushing the savings card back without intending to accept it. He just kept staring at Wang Haina, waiting for him to continue.
Made a bit nervous by Zhou Shen's stare, Wang Haina hesitated for a mont before saying sowhat sheepishly, "Well... Director Zhou, there is actually another matter I need to trouble you with."
"I plan to have an auction in three days."
"The venue has been selected, but there are many formalities that won't be completed in such a short ti; for instance, the auction license, fire safety certificate, and so on. Following the normal procedures, it would take at least three months to handle, and I—"
"Then you just follow the regular procedures," Zhou Shen said calmly, "If everyone wants to take shortcuts, how can we maintain a stable society? Moreover, you've approached the wrong place of worship, this is the Events Bureau."
"The Events Bureau can't deal with those matters; you need to go to the Business Bureau."
"Thud."
Without any hesitation, Wang Haina imdiately knelt on the floor and kowtowed, "Director Zhou, Miao has given a batch of goods, and I'm supposed to pay him 58 million in three days. If this auction doesn't happen, I simply won't have the money."
"There's 5 million in the card. I know these matters are but a word away for you, Director. If you help , I'll give you another 10 million afterward."
"10 million, that's quite a lot."
However, Zhou Shen wasn't interested in this at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the kneeling Wang Haina, speaking softly, "58 million to Miao in three days? Then that ans you're holding the goods right now?"
"They're with ."
"..."
After sitting in silence in his chair for a while, Zhou Shen suddenly stood up and helped Wang Haina to his feet, saying with a laugh, "Brother Wang, please get up, the floor is cold. We can talk things over slowly."
Initially, he had looked down on a re shopkeeper.
But since Miao had entrusted such valuable goods entirely to this man, without even taking the money first, Zhou Shen had to reconsider the relationship between this man and Miao.
It seed it wasn't just a matter of having done business a few tis.
