Chapter 28: The Four Great Gods Meet in Rio Nell

  "This Hou Longtao is really something! How many beautiful women does he want to knock down?! He knocks one down as soon as he sees one!" Manager Dong's face was red and his ears were burning as he lay in the dormitory, hugging a quilt. He was reading "The Golden Lotus" and from time to time, as the plot thickened, he would hug the quilt even tighter.

  Manager Dong hugged the quilt and watched as Hou Longtao picked up Sister Yun, ready to engage in a fierce battle. Just at this critical moment, the phone rang!

  Manager Dong really didn't want to pick up the phone, but he let out a sigh and put it down, casually picking up his own phone instead. He looked at the screen and was surprised to see that it was a call from Mrs. Jiang. He quickly got out of bed, took a few deep breaths, and then pressed the answer button: "Hello? Chairman Jiang!"

  On the other end of the phone, a cheerful voice said: "What's up, Manager Dong? Didn't I disturb your sleep?" Manager Dong hastily replied: "No...no...really not. I'm studying, reading books!" Manager Dong could sense that Old Lady Jiang was in a good mood.

  "Manager Dong! You really love to learn, no wonder whatever task is assigned to you, it's always done efficiently!" Manager Dong heard this and hastily asked: "Excuse me, General Manager Jiang, what can I do for you?"

  The boss's wife smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me that we're going to rent out our night market entirely to those two kids selling spicy hot pot at the entrance? I calculated it, 3,000 is for the hot pot, and 5,000 for the side dishes! The total is 8,000 per month, which feels pretty good. I've already found a lawyer to draft the contract."

  Manager Dong's heart suddenly burst with joy, thinking: "Hmph, this time I've made some money again! Don't know how many more days I can stay here! Consider it my year-end bonus! Can buy a good house on both sides!" He hastily said: "General Manager Jiang! You see when you come over, you'd better sign the contract with them!"

  Jiang was also confused on the other end of the phone, but always laughed. However, when speaking with Manager Dong, he was always serious: "No need, I won't show up, you sign with them, just use a seal and it's done! The contract..."

  Manager Dong was even more delighted when he heard this! He hastily replied: "I'll go to your place to get the contract! And try to finalize this matter as soon as possible!"

  Manager Dong hung up the phone and felt extremely relieved! He dove back into his bed, hugged his goldfish, and kissed it, thinking: "Haha! I made some money again! Since I got paid today, I must go to Shuiyifang to have some fun, haha!" Suddenly remembering something, he quickly got up, grabbed his phone, and called Li Xiaoteng.

  The phone call went through, but no one answered! After waiting for over a minute and a half, still no one picked up. Manager Dong looked at his watch, it was already past 10 o'clock. He immediately made another call, after half a minute, he heard Li Xiaoteng's sleepy mumble on the other end of the phone: "Hello? Who is this...... *yawn*..." Manager Dong knew right away that Li Xiaoteng hadn't woken up yet, and said: "Xiaoteng? This is Manager Dong from Dongxing Restaurant! Haven't you woken up yet?"

  The other end of the phone was silent for ten seconds, and I didn't know if Li Xiaoteng had fainted or hit his head on the bed. Anyway, after a short ten seconds, the voice that came over was surprisingly clear-headed.

  "Hello? Manager Dong? Hello! Has the cold dish stall matter been settled?"

  Hehe, Manager Dong smiled and held his phone in one hand while tucking himself into the blanket with the other. He said: "I've already discussed it with Old Wang's wife, at first she was very unwilling to let go of it, saying she wanted to keep it for herself. I reported the actual situation to her, and she nodded in agreement, but regarding the rent..."

  Li Xiaoteng on the other end of the phone was surprised to hear that the rent had changed. He was a bit unhappy, but still maintained his gentle tone and said: "Manager Dong, we agreed on 5,000 yuan, I've even prepared the money for you!"

  Manager Dong nodded secretly, thinking to himself: "I've been waiting for you to say that!" Then he said: "Little Teng, don't be in a hurry, didn't I just agree with the boss's wife this morning? It's 5,000 plus 3,000 for mala hot pot, 8,000 per month! Is that okay?"

  "Ah! Thank you, Manager Dong! When can I sign the contract? Thanks again, Manager Dong!" Even Manager Dong could sense Li Xiaoteng's joyful mood on the other end of the phone. He immediately said: "The contract... we still need to wait for Boss Lady to bring it over, and I'm not sure about the specific time either. It might take a bit longer, or maybe it'll be soon!"

  Li Xiaoteng heard that the contract signing time was still uncertain and felt a bit disappointed. However, Manager Dong immediately said over the phone: "Xiaoteng! It's been a long time since you last went to take a bubble bath, when are you going to accompany your old brother to Water One to take a bubble bath?"

  Li Xiaoteng was so angry that he almost threw his phone out the window. This is ridiculous! But then he steeled himself and thought: I'm not going to let my child be taken advantage of by a wolf! At worst, I'll just lose 1,000 yuan. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked: "Manager Dong, are you going to the Shuiyi Fang bath center?"

  Holding the quilt, Manager Dong happily chimed in: "Yes! Is there a better place than Shuiyifang? All the worldly dust is nothing! Too luxurious! Not a place for ordinary folks like us!"

  Manager Dong was playing his own little trick when Li Xiaoteng said, "Manager Dong, didn't you know? The law enforcement agencies reported it two days ago! This year's Jin Yiwei, together with the East and West Factories, colluded with Liu Shanmen to capture the fast. They sealed off Shuiyi Fang, and it seems they are still suspended for rectification!"

  Manager Dong was taken aback for a moment and said, "What's going on? I don't know anything about it!" Then he helplessly said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later! I'm hanging up!"

  Li Xiaoteng was a bit anxious after hearing this. He hastily said, "Don't hang up! Manager Dong, I'll ask my buddy where there's a fun place to go, and we can head over!" Manager Dong thought Li Xiaoteng was quite considerate, so he continued, "Mm-hmm, you ask around. Today I'm going to rush over and urge the boss's wife to see if she can bring over the contract! If it arrives, I'll give you a call, and you can come over directly to sign!"

  Li Xiaoteng hung up the phone with a thousand thanks. Sitting on the bed, he was slightly angry. But looking at the empty room, it was just his own place. He sighed helplessly. Looking at his watch, it was already past 10 o'clock, and he got up to wash up.

  Without mentioning how Manager Dong urged us to hurry up, we went to find the boss's wife for the contract. We shifted our gaze thousands of miles away, to the Hey Hound Coffee Shop in Madrid.

  At the position where Thomas was standing, an Argentine beautiful blonde girl held her mobile phone and stared blankly. Her melancholy expression would surely make a romantic French handsome guy go up to comfort this lovely blonde girl if he saw her. If she were to meet a Chinese netizen... better not imagine it!

  The dispirited girl was listlessly fiddling with her phone, staring blankly, when it suddenly rang! The girl looked at the screen and saw that it was Lionel, and she let out a loud whoop of excitement! She immediately picked up, and on the other end, he said: "Oh~ my dear little treasure, Antonella. Guess where I am?" Antonella replied somewhat unhappily: "You told me that Bar?a B didn't have a game today, so why didn't you answer my calls? And just now your phone was even turned off! I'm not speaking to you!"

  Lionel listened to his little girlfriend's coquettish voice, and no matter how he listened, it was unbearable! He chuckled and said in a soft voice: "Baby, you said that when you came to Madrid on a business trip from Argentina, I secretly booked a ticket. I flew directly to Madrid!"

  Antonella's hands covered her mouth in surprise, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally overflowed. She choked back a sob and asked, "Rionel, you came to Madrid? You're so bad, not telling me... Waaahhh..." She couldn't continue speaking after that, overcome with emotion.

  Rionel walked hastily towards the airport hall while saying, "Oh, baby, why are you still crying? Tell me where you are and I'll go find you. I'm really just off the plane, don't believe me, listen." As he spoke, he randomly raised his phone towards the loudspeaker broadcasting. Trying to make Antonella hear more clearly.

  Attention passengers, flight L245 to London is now boarding. Please proceed to the gate immediately if you have not done so already. Thank you for choosing Madrid Barajas Airport. Have a pleasant journey.

  At this time, a tall and big-headed man pointed at Ronaldo with his finger and said: "Hey! Eto'o! Look, there's a short guy holding a mobile phone and rushing towards the sky! It looks like Ultraman is transforming!" Eto'o looked up at the Ultraman who was about to transform and said: "Huh? Why does he look so familiar? Ronaldo, do you know him?"

  "Ronaldinho shook his head and said, "Huh? Don't know him! No impression!" Puyol had been looking down, not knowing what to think, but when he heard them discussing, he looked up. Suddenly delighted! Haha laughed: "This is the new star of the second team!" Suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey! Messi! Messi! Over here! Messi....."
