As he lay on the ground, his eyes met the boy's bright red eyes, and for a moment Yuan Zhuan wanted to disappear into the ground.

Without saying a word, the boy reached out and pulled the person up from the ground, led them inside, and then closed the door. The series of actions were completed in one smooth motion, blocking the eyes of the onlookers outside.

Yuan Zhuan: ...

This is so embarrassing... I just want to leave...

Tu Du stood with his back to Yuan Zhuan, unsure of what expression to use when facing him.

Yuan Zhuan took out a good luck charm. "Tu Du, put this in a waterproof bag and carry it with you at all times."

Tu Du turned and took it. His eyelashes were long and curled, still a little damp and messy. His eyes, red but clear, looked directly at Yuan Zhuan. He reached out and took it. "Thank you. Why did you come today? Um, I'm not... um... thank you. The doctor said I can go home to rest tomorrow." The boy's voice was a little hoarse.

Will Su Hao come to process your discharge?

“I can manage on my own, but he still has to go to class.”

"I'll have someone come over to help you tomorrow." Seeing things through to the end is a way of settling a karmic debt.

Although she didn't believe she was responsible for this incident, she was still involved to some extent. Taking care of things for him would make his life happier in the future. He's so young, and he doesn't have any family around him; it's too stressful. He might easily become depressed. She knew all too well how terrible depression was. Such a handsome boy, with excellent grades—if he grows up, he'll be a star!

"Why did you help me?" Tu Du hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question that was on his mind.

Yuan Zhuan: Yes, because of his kind heart.

"You look good." Yuan Zhuan had intended to lighten the mood, but after seeing the boy's bright red earlobes, she felt awkward again.

She's just there to make people laugh~@@~

Okay, I forgot it's only the early 2000s, not some wildly fashionable postmodern era~

"I have class later, so I'll go first. Here's your food, eat it." Yuan Zhuan was about to leave when he remembered the meat bun still hanging on his wrist.

Tu Du accepted the gift, said thank you, and Yuan Zhuan turned and disappeared through the door.

I haven't been this embarrassed in a long time!

Awkward! !

"So you know what awkwardness is," the system whispered.

Yuan Zhuan: "None of your business."

If the system had emoticons, it would probably be rolling its eyes right now.

The main entrance of the bustling hotel was brightly lit, with young men and women coming and going, and the surrounding parking spaces were full, with cars constantly arriving.

Feng Sanshui craned his neck to look in the direction of Shijie Street. He was worried that Yuan Zhuan would arrive early, since they got out of school at around 4 p.m. So he came an hour early to avoid delaying things. Little did he know that this little darling would be so punctual.

Yuan Zhuan arrived at exactly nine o'clock.

"My little ancestor, you've finally arrived." Feng Sanshui greeted them with Feng Shanlang. "I've already booked a private room."

Yuan Zhuan raised an eyebrow. "It was supposed to be nine o'clock."

"Yes, yes, I didn't mean to blame you, I was just being cheeky, cheeky~" Feng Sanshui started to laugh it off.

The private room was quite spacious, nearly 40 square meters, with a bar for karaoke, a movie screen, a dining table, and comfortable sofas, as well as a well-stocked wine cabinet.

"Sister, what would you like to eat? Take a look at the menu first." Feng Sanshui eagerly handed over the menu.

Yuan Zhuan took it, put it down, and then sat down on the sofa by himself. "You all sit down."

"Huh? Oh, okay." The two brothers were a little flustered when they saw that Yuan Zhuan wasn't ordering food and seemed about to get down to business.

"Sister, just tell us what you need to say, and we brothers will do as you say."

“If you work under me, you have to follow my rules.” Yuan Zhuan got straight to the point, his sharp gaze sweeping across the two men, who shrank back and nodded hastily.

"Yes, yes, yes. That's for sure." The two brothers were very obedient.

"I opened a shop on Tenth Street because I intend to use this place as the foundation for my development. The environment here definitely needs to be maintained. I took you in to avoid trouble. Don't worry about the mad dog you're talking about; I'll handle Boss Jin's side. Tenth Street will still be under your jurisdiction, but you need to manage it properly. You can't bully the weak. From now on, you'll be in charge of everything related to Tenth Street—security, sanitation, environment, fights—and you can't afford any mistakes."

Feng Sanshui: ...

"Sister, we're not a government department, why should we interfere so much? It's going to cost a lot." Feng Sanshui looked very troubled.

"You only need to hand over 10% of the money you collect; the rest can be used for official business." Yuan Zhuan had already figured out that the higher-ups would take at least 50% of these kickbacks, and sometimes as much as 70%.

"One percent?!" Feng Sanshui stood up in shock. "Can it even work?!" Would Boss Jin kill them?

"Yes," Yuan Zhuan replied without hesitation. "How many people do you have under your command now?"

"12. There were more than 20 before, but now the mad dog has taken 10 of them."

"Tomorrow you'll set up a property management company, then recruit people, and hire twenty more young and strong men." After all, security is the top priority for property management.

"Yes! But, sis, what's a property management company?" Feng Sanshui asked with a smug grin, looking completely ignorant.

Yuan Zhuan pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them over. "Read these three papers carefully. I'll give you a week to get the paperwork done. Consider this your pledge of loyalty. I don't want useless people here."

"yes!"

No one knew that the future legend, Yuan's Security, would officially begin its journey from a hotel private room.
