"Hey! You there! Come here!" A portly middle-aged man walked in, pointed directly at Chen Tai's nose, and shouted.

Chen Tai was extremely annoyed when he was suddenly called that!

Do you know who Lao Tzu is?

How dare you talk to me like that!

Open your dog eyes and take a look! I was the chairman back in the day. Someone like you isn't even qualified to carry my shoes!

But what can you do when they're customers now?

Even if Chen Tai was extremely unhappy, he had no choice but to obediently walk over, put on a smiling face, and say:

"Sir, you were looking for me?"

Chen Tai's obsequious manner completely stunned the viewers in the live stream!

"Holy crap! What is Chen Tai doing?"

"No? Chen Tai, you've fallen! You've actually lowered your proud head! You're not the same Chen Tai anymore!"

"Chen Tai (with head bowed)"

"No? So Chen Tai can be a flatterer too? I remember Chen Tai used to be so arrogant, he never liked to say a word to us working people. How come he's become so obsequious now!"

"I almost don't recognize you anymore, Chen Tai!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I get it now, I understand now. Chen Tai isn't incapable of knowing how to please others."

Chen Tai simply felt that we weren't worth his flattery. [doge emoji]

"See? As long as you have money, even someone like Chen Tai can kneel down and grovel before you! So, my dear working folks, hurry up and make some money!"

...

Chen Tai also felt very humiliated.

But there was no other way.

These are all my bread and butter!

If I offend anyone, my shop will have to close down!

You see, that's why nightclubs like this need someone to protect them.

People who frequent nightclubs are generally not good people.

Fighting when drunk is a common occurrence.

Especially those rich kids, when they get drunk they act like they're ready to risk their lives.

Let's be reasonable.

If Chen Tai didn't have the production team as his backer, he would be someone with no connections and no foundation.

Still want to open a nightclub here?

What the hell are you talking about?!

They could come and cause trouble any minute!

What?

Do you think we live in a society governed by the rule of law?

That's true.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble will definitely be caught by the inspectors.

But the problem is...

There are so many of them!

Those who are involved in organized crime all have their own leaders.

These low-level leaders certainly wouldn't do it themselves!

What's the point of having so many henchmen under your command?

Today one henchman causes trouble, tomorrow another henchman will come to cause trouble.

With things going like this, Chen Tai's nightclub will basically have to shut down.

They're just waiting to go bankrupt!

People come and vandalize things every day; it's not just a loss for the hotel, it also scares away customers!

Therefore, Chen Tai dared not offend these people.

Even if he has a big sponsor from the show's production team backing him up, it's still the same!

What if Chen Tai offends some hothead one day, or someone with a background even deeper than Chen Tai's?

Then Chen Tai was beaten for nothing.

After all, no matter how fast those big shots protect you, it can't beat someone's fist.

Therefore, Chen Tai now has no choice but to be more cautious and have a better attitude.

"I want all the girls from your shop to come and keep me company!" Brother Biao took off his jacket, revealing his colorful tattoos, and roared.

These low-level gang leaders all share several key characteristics.

He likes to show off, likes to speak loudly, and likes to be surrounded by a large entourage when he goes out.

Of course, if it's someone like Gao Qiqiang, then it's on another level.

This Brother Biao is a local thug leader.

He dropped out of school at a young age and started fighting every day, and the police have been to the prosecutor's office countless times.

Gradually, he gained fame here.

The nightclubs in the vicinity all have to pay him.

They collect protection money.

Besides Chen Tai's nightclub.

After all, Chen Tai's nightclub has someone protecting it.

Although he had given face, Brother Biao still felt that he had lost face.

Think about it, if just anyone could make a call and be exempt from these protection fees...

How will he ever be able to show his face in this area again?

After hearing about this, no one wanted to pay anymore.

How can Brother Biao support such a large group of people?

So Brother Biao would occasionally come over and make things difficult for Chen Tai.

Of course, it shouldn't be too much either.

Give Chen Tai a gentle reminder, let him know that Chen Tai is able to open a nightclub here purely because of his protection.

People who can become gang leaders are all very clear-headed.

If you don't mention favors for too long, people will forget about them.

I can't forget you.

So Brother Biao would remind Chen Tai from time to time.

"Hey! Brother Biao! Your arrival is such an honor to our shop!"

When you arrive, all kinds of drinks will be provided!

But the girl... she's with other people... so... there's really nothing we can do.

Chen Tai politely declined.

But Brother Biao felt he couldn't save face.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Do you think you're all grown up now?"

Do you think I'm being too polite? Do you think you have the right to put on airs in front of me?
