Since his brother couldn’t bear to make a move, he had to do it himself.
Once this vital point was hit, it could be a short as ten days or as long as one month before death ensued.
After Lu Jing left, Ye Fei consoled his good brother.
"All right, it’s all in the past now. That kind of woman isn’t worth your sorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dabao forced a smile, "Are you kidding ? I’m too happy to even start! Co on, let’s have a drink!"
That al, they drank until the sky spun and the earth went dark, until they were drunkenly dreaming.
While drinking, Lu Dabao asked why Zhao Ming was so respectful towards Ye Fei.
Ye Fei didn’t beat around the bush this ti and told Lu Dabao about how he knew so important figures in Tianhe.
Lu Dabao listened, stunned for several minutes without coming back to his senses.
He continued to ask how Ye Fei ca to know these people.
This ti, Ye Fei didn’t explain it clearly but simply cooked up a lie to skirt around the truth.
"Feizi, rember that little dream I told you about before?"
Intoxicated, Lu Dabao slurred from the bed, barely awake.
"Of course, I rember. Haven’t you always wanted to open your own Chinese restaurant?" Ye Fei said, sipping his tea and feeling comforted as his good brother brought up his dream.
"You’re a true brother! My parents gave life, but Feizi knows best! Exactly! I’ve decided, I’ll look for a place tomorrow and open my restaurant!"
"Now that I have money and there are no bitches to boss around, I’ll do whatever I please! Damn it!"
Lu Dabao babbled and gesticulated in a drunken stupor.
Ye Fei replied with a faint smile, "Alright then, when the ti cos, I’ll invite all the local bigwigs to support you."
Lu Dabao suddenly sat up and shoved his face close to Ye Fei’s.
"Burp! It’s a promise then, pinky promise. Burp!"
Lu Dabao raised his little finger, but before they could hook pinkies, he burped and fell over asleep.
Ye Fei covered him with a blanket and whispered, "Rest easy, brother. If Ye Fei has given his word, he will never go back on it."
...
A few days passed.
That morning, after finishing breakfast and dropping Little Ye off at school, Ye Fei received a call from Lu Dabao.
"Feizi! My restaurant opens tomorrow! You’ve got to co show your support, I’ll send you the address in a bit."
Ye Fei was taken aback, "Damn, you move fast, don’t you?"
"That’s right! When big n decide to act, we do it swiftly and decisively! Oh right, Feizi, you ant what you said last ti, right?"
"Huh? What did I say?"
"Co on, you forgot so quickly. Didn’t you say you’d invite the bigwigs to support ? Brother, I’m counting on you for this."
Ye Fei laughed loudly, "Don’t worry, your affairs are my affairs; I guarantee all the bigwigs will show up."
"That settles it! And don’t forget to bring your wife and kid too!"
After hanging up, Ye Fei got to work, sending ssages to Zhu Guangbo, Bai Yunfei, and others.
Ti flew by, and the day after next arrived.
On Zhongling Road, Dabao’s Restaurant was decked out in lights and bustling with guests—it was exceptionally lively.
Ye Fei arrived early and looked up to see a sizable storefront.
After greeting his good brother and exchanging pleasantries and congratulations,
Ye Fei had intended to help his friend out, but Lu Dabao firmly kept him seated.
"Today, you’re my most important guest, so you’re not allowed to move; just sit tight and hold the fort here."
"Right, you did invite your influential friends, didn’t you?"
Ye Fei rolled his eyes, "Relax, everyone will be there as promised."
"Great! I owe you one, brother," Lu Dabao played his part, then turned to greet other guests.
Inside the hall, about half of the twenty-odd tables were already filled with custors.
Then, one by one, the bigwigs began to make their entrance.
Wan Jing, Li Mingzhen, Gao Feng, Wang Jianglong...
Each person’s arrival caused a significant stir in the crowd.
"Holy smokes, Wan Jing and Li Mingzhen, the two Divine Doctors are here too? Lu Dabao is well-connected! He knows these dical big shots?"
"Eh? Who’s that? Isn’t that Canglangzhou’s big shot, Gao Feng? No mistake, right? A business tycoon like him, and Dabao managed to invite him over?"
"Damn damn damn! The captain of Qianlong Squad, Wang Jianglong! Holy crap, Dabao even knows people from the Combat Departnt! My God, what’s going on?"
While everyone was still amazed, these influential figures actually lined up to approach Ye Fei.
And they respectfully greeted Ye Fei with, "Good day, Mr. Ye."
"Damn!"
At this, everyone present was utterly astounded.
"Who’s that guy sitting right at the center, looking so ordinary? How co all these big shots are queuing to pay their respects to him?"
"Yeah, I have no idea either. Just now I thought he was sitting in the wrong place and was about to ask him to move. Good thing I kept my mouth shut, otherwise..."
"Tsk tsk, so young and yet commanding such reverence from these heavy hitters—truly a young hero erges! And he’s so modest too. I can’t believe Dabao knows such a promising young talent, color envious."
Whilst they murmur among themselves, all eyes, filled with awe and envy, were now focused on Ye Fei.
