Chapter 63: The Game of Pai Gow and the Grand Steward

  Li Xiaoteng's business was ruined by the fight between Fu Bei and Du Yu, leaving it in shambles. Li Xiaoteng escaped unscathed but waived the dining fees for his customers.

  Wang Zhibai's important manipulator actually all entered the police station. Had to seek help from Liu Ju. And Liu Ju seems to be accompanying some important figures, playing mahjong...

  People sat around a mahjong table, leisurely playing mahjong.

  Only one slightly chubby middle-aged man was seen. He looked to be in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and dressed in a simple casual suit. With such an outfit, if you ran into him on the street, you wouldn't be able to tell him apart from any other ordinary person, giving off the typical soy sauce crowd vibe.

  A middle-aged man casually touched a card and shouted: "50,000!" Without thinking, he threw it out.

  Liu Ju looked at the cards in her hand, thought for a moment and broke up a straight. She threw it out. Her mouth shouted: "Six bars!" The girl who was massaging Liu Ju's shoulders looked at the cards on the table. Three five-thousand yuan bills were so eye-catching! The little girl giggled twice, lowered her head and lightly kissed Liu Ju's neck.

  Liu Ju's hand instinctively reached out to touch the little girl's long, beautiful legs in black stockings. Before he could even react, his phone rang in his pocket. Liu Ju furrowed his brow, took it out and saw that it was Gu Kejun's call. He hung up the phone without hesitation...

  Not long after hanging up the phone, it rang again. Liu Ju had to apologize awkwardly to the middle-aged man and the two people beside him.

  He picked up the phone and asked somewhat unhappily: "You don't usually sleep early, what's wrong with you calling me in the middle of the night?"

  Wang Zhibai curled his lip on the other end of the phone and glanced at the starry sky. He sighed and said, "Brother, I've got trouble again." Liu Ju looked at the middle-aged man and said impatiently, "Can't you call me during the day? Don't you know what time it is?" Then he paused for a moment and said, "What's going on? Spit it out!"

  Wang Zhibai hastily said: "All the stocks we did... are the message stocks you told me. Yesterday, a lot of chips were absorbed! A lot of goods were eaten in!" Wang Zhibai impatiently said: "I know this already! If you have something to say, hurry up and say it!"

  Wang Zhibai said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, the dealers who were making deals today had a conflict with someone while eating in Xingda District and were taken to the police station. They won't be out until this morning, so Lafa Electronics will have no one to control the disk!"

  Wang Zhibai paused for a moment, then emphasized again: "The team that went in yesterday was the one that successfully absorbed the chips on the trading floor. The other teams' traders couldn't control this ticket at all."

  Wang Zhibai was silent for a moment after hearing this, then laughed and said: "I thought it was something difficult, but it's just this small matter? I happen to have friends there. Make a phone call, and you'll be released immediately!" Gu Kejun hastily agreed. Liu Ju didn't even wait for Wang Zhibai to speak, directly hanging up the phone.

  Wang Zhibai held the phone, listening to the busy tone. He chuckled and slowly walked back to the bedroom from the dark living room. The bedroom light was still on, a beautiful woman with long hair scattered over her shoulders sat on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, humming softly. Only her slender legs were visible, faintly exposed outside.

  The beautiful woman saw King's white smile and walked back, her face suddenly hung with a melancholy mood. She didn't speak even when she pouted her small mouth. Gu Kejun heh-heh dryly laughed twice, walked to the beautiful woman's side, and pulled open the quilt. The girl let out an "ah" of sharp cry.

  Wang Zhibai hugged the naked beauty and chuckled, saying: "Baby! Some things just now made me a bit...". The woman pouted unhappily and said: "You scared me to death! You owe me!"

  Wang Zhibai grasped Xue Feng's shoulder and rubbed the small cherry on top of his head. He replied with a mouthful, "No problem... no problem! Tomorrow you go buy a chain yourself! I'll give you a new card! Swipe it until it explodes! Hahaha..."

  The beauty weakly pushed away Wang Zhibai with her hand and said with a soft moan: "You're so bad! You hurt me..."

  The night market has lost its prosperity. The guests have all gone! Li Xiaoteng stood in front of the fish tank, looking at the clear water surface. The white light shone into the fish tank, revealing its clarity. But there was not a single fish inside. Kong Zhen and Zhao Pangzi finished cleaning up the dinner table, everything was tidy. Li Xiaoteng said to Kong Zhen: "From now on, you can work here with me first! Monthly salary of 3,000!"

  Kong Zhen listened and was suddenly surprised, his eyes wide with wonder. He asked hesitantly, "Teng Ge! University graduates just starting out can only earn a little over 1,000 to less than 2,000 per month! I'm just helping you out with odd jobs, and I can get 3,000?"

  Zhao Pangzi also seemed to feel that what was given was a bit too much. Looking at Li Xiaoteng with some discontent, he thought for a moment and said: "Teng Ge's descendants will prosper for generations, unifying the night market! Teng Ge is mighty... isn't what we're giving indeed a bit too much?" After pausing for a moment, he continued:"After all, our profit margins aren't excessively high..."

  Kong Zhen glanced at Zhao Paozi, his clear eyes showing no impurities. He immediately turned around and said to Li Xiaoteng: "Teng Ge! The salary is indeed a bit high, don't give me so much money!"

  Li Xiaoteng laughed and said: "I really haven't heard of anyone complaining that the money is too much! Alright, Kong Zhen, you've really made me look up to you again. Haha!"

  Zhao Pàngzi and Kong Zhen looked at each other in confusion. Suddenly, Li Xiaoteng spoke up: "Kong Zhen, I invited you because I want to ask you to be a management talent. My idea might be quite grandiose. Simply put, for now, I'm running a hot pot restaurant, and I'd like you to help me manage it. In the future, when I start a company, I'd like you to help me manage that too. You can think of yourself as the full-time general manager!"

  Kong Zhen said in surprise: "Are you going to ask me to be the CEO?" Li Xiaoteng smiled and nodded. Then he said: "Today, you go with Zhao Baozi to squeeze together first. Tomorrow morning, solve your housing problem." He picked up a water bottle, took a sip of water, and continued: "In these two days, I hope you can recruit one or two service staff back, with a salary of 1,200 yuan, just for the night market period!"

  Li Xiaoteng watched as Zhao Wenzhi walked away with Kong Zhen. Suddenly, he felt a little lonely and looked up at the sky. He always felt that something was missing in his fulfilling life. With a hint of melancholy, he let out a sigh.

  Suddenly, he found Cui Xiaoyan sitting behind the barbecue stall across the street. Li Xiaoteng smiled and walked to the front of Cui Xiaoyan's stall, shouting loudly: "Boss Cui! 10 skewers of barbecue!"

  Cui Xiaoyan held a water bottle in her hand, glanced at Li Xiaoteng, and didn't say a word. She raised her hand, took a light sip of water, and then said with some restraint: "Boss Xiaoteng, stop teasing me!"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and said: "Cui boss, I'm not kidding. Bring ten skewers!" He took out 10 yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the edge of the grill.

  Cui Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiaoteng with a puzzled expression. Sitting on the small stool, she didn't move or change her position. She asked in confusion: "You roasted fish so deliciously, would you want to come and eat my roasted lamb skewers?"

  In the quiet night market, there were very few people. Except for a few Batman and Spiderman types still drinking and chatting, most of the night market stalls had already closed up shop and gone home to sleep. The surroundings were very quiet, Cui Xiaoyan silently looked up at Li Xiaoteng, waiting for his answer! (Author seeking collection! Seeking recommendation!
