of an unnoticeable smirk crossed his eyes.At this moment, in the office of Tianqi Group's chairman where Heihu was located, Tiantuan lay on a chair, holding a cigar in his right hand and taking a lei...Just then, there was a breakfast stall right by the roadside. There were three or four tables set up on the stall, and all of them were full of people.
Ko Zhen looked up and saw three big characters written on the breakfast stall sign: Dumpling Noodles.
Ke Zhen was extremely hungry. Seeing the steaming wontons in the pot, he couldn't help but drool. He ordered a bowl of wonton noodles and sat down on a chair, waiting for his food to arrive.
How many years had it been He'd truly forgotten how long it had been since he last ate street vendor wonton noodles. It must have been back when he was a young student, he thought. He couldn't help but glance at the two young men and women sitting beside him. They looked like high school students from this area, didn't they
"What are you looking at, old man Look at your messy appearance, even if you want to hit on me, please try dressing a little neater." A young punk girl sitting next to Ko Zhen glared at Ko Zhen with angry eyes and said angrily.
Ke Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. She was so young, yet she said such things. And he had only glanced at her unintentionally, and she thought he wanted to hit on her.
"Hey, you old man, watch your eyes! Keep looking at my woman and I swear I'll call my brothers to chop you up."
A young man sitting across from Xiao Taimei was unhappy. He grabbed his chopsticks and rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.
Ke Zhendan was truly startled. This young man, no older than fifteen or sixteen, looked like a child. Thinking back to his own youth, he was just a little kid who knew nothing but studying. He never expected this young fellow to have such a fiery temper and even wanted to get physical with him.
Alas, the world is declining, and people's hearts are no longer pure.
Ke Zhen sighed inwardly, not taking him seriously. Could this young man really dare to attack him He was much stronger than the other.
But suddenly, Ke Zhen saw the dragon head on the young man's arm and was startled. He exclaimed, "Are you from the Nanlong Gang"
That young man saw Ko Zhen was afraid, and he became even more proud. He casually adjusted his arm, as if deliberately showing off to the girl, and said with a smug tone: "My cousin is from the Nalong Gang. He registered me a long time ago, and soon I'll be able to officially join the Nalong Gang."
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the little hoodlum was staring at the young man with starstruck eyes, looking up to him with admiration. She wished she could just stick to him right now.
Ke Zhen's eyes twitched, he truly didn't expect that nowadays, young people would actually join the South Dragon Gang. Then, he wouldn't be able to afford it at all.
He hurriedly moved the stool aside, lowering his head to avoid being burned by the fire.
The young man saw this and felt even more pleased, he burst into laughter. He even gave the little girl a flying kiss in front of Ko Zhen's face.
Ke Zhen broke out in a cold sweat, muttering to himself about youthful recklessness. Fortunately, at this moment, the proprietress brought over a large bowl of wonton noodles and placed it on his table. He couldn't care less about those two cringe-worthy young men and women anymore, so he buried his head and ate voraciously.
"Hey, mister," Ko Chen-tung was busy eating wontons when suddenly someone tapped his table.
"Oh, what's the matter" Ke Zhen looked up at the young man, his eyes filled with surprise. Just now, the two of them who were clearly not very familiar, the little sister suddenly threw herself into the arms of the young man, and hugged him tightly, their affection was beyond description.
Ke Zhen sighed again in his heart, these two little boys and girls were probably younger than his own daughter. They dared to behave like this in front of adults, ah.
"We have some important business to attend to later, and we're running low on cash. Could you please cover this meal for us I promise to treat you next time."
The young man looked at Ko Zhen, but he probably hadn't done this kind of freeloading thing before. His tone wasn't very firm, and he occasionally pulled on his arm, deliberately showing off that terrifying dragon head.
Ke Zhen found it amusing. Today, he finally broadened his horizons and realized there were people who extorted money in such a way. However, for just two bowls of noodles, it wasn't much to him at all.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys go." After that, Ke Zhen called the boss lady over to settle the bill, and he ate his meal too.
Hearing him say that, the young man also let out a breath of relief. However, he seemed to be hesitating about where to go. The girl was also fidgeting, as if discussing with him which place had the best price, and which charged by the hour.
Ke Zhen couldn't help but sweat again. He looked at the two young men and women once more. They were about the same age, no older than fifteen or sixteen. But Ke Zhen had just clearly heard them discussing where to go for a room.
This little kid, barely even got his hair yet, thinks he wants to do that kind of thing. Ko Zhen felt a shiver down his spine. He really didn't know what to say.
At this time, the proprietress ran over and said to Ko Zhen: "It's fifteen yuan in total, thank you."
Three bowls of noodles only cost fifteen yuan. For someone like Ke Zhendong, who spends tens of thousands on a single meal, this is incredibly cheap.
Ke Zhen immediately reached for his wallet to pay the debt, but halfway through, his heart sank. His wallet was gone.
He hurriedly searched his other pockets, but still couldn't find it. His heart sank. He seemed to remember that when he was arguing with those hoodlums outside the Red River Group last night, his wallet must have fallen to the ground. At that time, there were too many people, and he was so flustered that he wouldn't have noticed.
This is so embarrassing! Ke Zhen frantically rummaged through his pockets, hoping to find some change, but he was devastated to discover that his pockets were completely empty.
He suddenly forgot, he had always only thought of money as being in his wallet. What could he do
The proprietress, who had been smiling just moments ago, immediately turned grim upon seeing Ke Zhen's fidgeting. She coldly said, “Boss, you wouldn’t be thinking of eating for free, would you”
"Big sister, don't misunderstand,"
The proprietress rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are calling me 'big sister' Do I look older than you"
Ko Chen hurriedly changed his words, saying, "Miss."
"Don't try to sweet-talk me, kid. Nothing you say matters today. Just get the money out." The proprietress, looking tough as nails, glared fiercely at Ke Zhen.
Ke Zhen's head felt enormous, like a fighting cock. His cold sweat was about to drip down. He felt his head becoming numb and starting to tingle, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Madam, listen to me, I'm the chairman of Honghe Group. A meal for me costs tens of thousands, I couldn't possibly care about this small sum. To be honest, it's not even worth mentioning."
The proprietress let out a cold snort and said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "You've said so much, what are you trying to say"
"I... I forgot my wallet today," Ko Zhen felt his face burning with shame. He had never been so embarrassed in his life, he wished he could just disappear into the ground.
"Hahahahahaha!" The proprietress suddenly burst into laughter, her mirth making Ko Zhen feel uneasy. This crazy woman, why did she look so much like the legendary owner of the Xian shop Could she really be holding him hostage for this measly fifteen dollars and planning to make him a human meat bun
"Madam, how about I write you a check"
Ke Zhen hesitated and said, "The smallest check in Honghe Company is in units of thousands. I only spent fifteen yuan, but I bought a thousand yuan bill. Although he didn't care about the money, he felt uncomfortable in his heart."
The proprietress was about to burst into laughter, "You want to pay with a check hahahaha!" This guy must be crazy! Eating a bowl of noodles and thinking about paying with a check. I've never met someone so brazen before.
The young man over there saw what was happening here, and he shoved the little girl hard, whispering, “Get out of here.”
Little Taimei also came over cautiously, and immediately wanted to slip out.
But he was stopped by the quick-witted proprietress.
"If you want to leave, pay first," the proprietress said unpleasantly to the two little rascals.
"It's not like the old man gave us money," the young man grumbled, unwillingly.
He still needs to save money for important matters.
"Cut the crap and get on with it!" The proprietress didn't care if he was a young lad or not, she immediately started attacking him.
The young man casually flicked his sleeve, revealing a ferocious dragon head, and glared, “I’m from the South Dragon Gang.”
But before he could finish his words, someone pushed him hard from behind. He turned around in surprise to see a man with a dark face.
The young man's face immediately fell. This black-faced man was the boss of this place.
That black-faced boss suddenly arrived in front of the young man, flung open his chest, and pointed to the pattern on it: "See this I am a real member of the Nánlóng Gang."
The young man was dumbfounded. The black-faced boss's chest was embroidered with a dragon head, far more imposing than his own.
He had no choice but to immediately obediently hand over the money. The proprietress snatched it away, and the young man hurriedly cried out, "We only ate two bowls, why are you charging me fifteen yuan"
The landlady, however, had already pocketed the money and calmly said, "I also took the other person's."
"Why" the young man asked, puzzled.
“Since he has no money, of course you came to pay. You two clearly know each other, you were just calling each other “uncle” moments ago, don't think I didn't hear.” The proprietress finished her sentence with a disdainful glance at Ko Zhen, who was now awkwardly red-faced. Then, she gave a twirl of her round, swaying hips and walked away.
The young man glared fiercely at Ko Zhen, then strode towards him with a furious expression.
"Hey, what do you want to do" Ko Zhen instinctively took a step back.
That young man came to Ke Zhen's front, and suddenly spat on the ground, disdainfully saying: "The chairman still eats a 10,000 yuan big meal and thinks about writing a check to pay off his debts, bah!"
After finishing his words, he turned his head and walked away with the girl who was staring at him with admiration.
Those onlookers couldn't help but point and stare, some even burst into laughter. Ko Zhen felt his face flush red then white; being ridiculed by a little kid who hadn't even grown any hair was truly embarrassing.
He dared not stay any longer, and hurried to escape toward the Red River Group. Ye Shuxin's eyes flashed with a strange light!Ye Qin Cheng said no more, knowing his father had always been this way. He wasn't much of a talker in his daily life, but when it came to matters, he was...
