Reborn into the Raging Surge world, starting with a small fish stall, Tang Ping studies the Art of War, but his path is nothing like Gao Qiqiang’s.
Kai starts with a video store, expands in...
This creates customer loyalty; they'll only come to Tangping's place when they're online.
Moreover, in terms of internet environment, machines, and network speed, those illegal internet cafes and even the slightly better ones simply cannot compare to Tang Ping's place.
Milk tea, drinks, and snacks also made a lot of money. People waiting for their computers or getting hungry or thirsty while playing games didn't want to go out to buy them themselves, so they simply ordered them at the internet cafe to avoid interrupting their gaming.
Basically, the internet cafe's daily revenue is between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan. After deducting costs, earning 300,000 yuan a month is not a problem. Adding the income from the two audio-visual stores, Tang Ping felt very comfortable watching his savings increase every day.
Midnight, Lovers' Street.
Tang Ping, Gao Qiqiang, Tang Xiaolong, and Tang Xiaohu were waiting on the street.
Originally, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu were quite unhappy because of what happened last time, but with Gao Qiqiang around, they didn't dare to do anything. These two brothers have now completely become Gao Qiqiang's underlings.
There was nothing they could do; Gao Qiqiang was incredibly audacious, daring to kill even Xu Jiang's son, and he also had An Xin as his backer.
Tang Xiaolong was good at reading people. He saw that Gao Qiqiang was chatting and laughing with Tang Ping. In his words, Gao Qiqiang was not exactly fawning over Tang Ping, but at least he was putting Tang Ping first.
Gradually, Tang Xiaolong realized that he and Tang Ping were not on the same level.
He's a big boss who owns an internet cafe and two audio-visual stores.
After waiting for a long time, Uncle Tai's people still hadn't arrived.
Just as Tang Ping was losing patience, car lights suddenly appeared at the street corner, and then a large number of thugs in black suits surrounded him from both sides of the street.
Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu both looked extremely nervous. They hadn't even brought any weapons; they were doomed.
Gao Qiqiang calmed down a bit. He moved closer to Tang Ping and whispered, "Ping, this Uncle Tai is not following the rules. He actually brought so many brothers. Is he planning to kill us?"
After all, Tang Ping and Gao Qiqiang were undercover agents when Ma Zi got into trouble, and the two buyers also ran into problems. They were Uncle Tai's friends, so it was normal for the other party to be suspicious.
"No, he doesn't have the guts. He just wants to give us a warning. Don't panic. No matter what he does that goes too far, don't resist," Tang Ping said with a smile.
"Um."
As the two were talking, a sexy and beautiful woman in a black trench coat stepped out of the car.
Chen Shuting!
Tang Ping recognized her at a glance; the beautiful woman was none other than Chen Shuting, the beautiful and sassy sister-in-law from Crazy Storm.
Sure enough, his aura was incredibly powerful.
Moreover, Chen Shuting is beautiful, tall, and slender, especially her eyebrows, which are straight and flat, giving off a sharp look.
Cold and elegant!
This is Chen Shuting.
Not only Tang Ping, but Gao Qiqiang, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.
Sensing Gao Qiqiang's gaze, Chen Shuting seemed somewhat disgusted and coldly asked, "Who is Gao Qiqiang?"
"I am, I am."
Gao Qiqiang quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Hehe, it was Uncle Tai I contacted..."
"Arrest him!"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Shuting ordered two burly men to grab Gao Qiqiang. Then she unbuckled the belt on her trench coat, walked over, and strangled Gao Qiqiang.
Before long, Gao Qiqiang started rolling his eyes.
Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu were terrified and wanted to help, but they were immediately held down by several burly men around them and couldn't move at all.
Although they were involved in some kind of gangster activity, they were at most thugs and hooligans, far from being true gangsters.
"Xiawan Fish Farm, wasn't that an undercover agent you planted for the police? And you're the one who killed my husband too! You sent them to scare people, but you killed him instead!"
Chen Shuting said coldly.
Although she was choking Gao Qiqiang, her eyes were on Tang Ping as she spoke.
Not far away, Tang Ping, hands in his pockets, leaned against a pillar on Lovers' Street, watching this scene, and said calmly, "Alright, that's enough. Aren't you worried that I'll sell out Uncle Tai's two friends?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuting laughed and retorted, "You're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve. If you were planning to betray them, you wouldn't have come to us to negotiate. By the way, aren't you worried that I'll strangle your friend?"
As expected of the eldest sister-in-law, she has a powerful aura and a clear understanding of things; she hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.
At this moment, Gao Qiqiang, whose neck was being strangled, revealed a strange smile and said, "No, no strength..."
Chen Shuting was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat admiring.
She understood perfectly that Gao Qiqiang's words showed that he was an extremely ambitious and fearless person.
After thinking for a moment, she let go, re-fastened her belt, and said coldly, "Take the person to Jinghai Bus Station first thing tomorrow morning. The rest is none of your business."
"What are the benefits?" Tang Ping asked.
"You've wrecked our place and you still want benefits? Uncle Tai said the biggest benefit is that he won't take your lives!"
Chen Shuting sneered, then waved her hand and left with her people.
On Lovers' Street, in the quiet street, Gao Qiqiang stared blankly at Chen Shuting's departing figure.
Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder, then came to his senses: "Ah Ping, it seems we've lost out in this deal. We took such a big risk and got nothing in return. If Xu Jiang finds out that we're the ones who set up Xiawan Fish Farm, he'll definitely come after us."
"No need for 'ifs,' Xu Jiang definitely knows by now."
Tang Ping sighed and said, "This matter must have been resolved by Uncle Tai and Xu Jiang through discussion. We miscalculated and overlooked the relationship between Uncle Tai and Xu Jiang."
Between Uncle Tai and Xu Jiang, Xu Jiang was originally supported by Uncle Tai. The two of them, Bai Jiangbo, were competing against each other, hindering each other. This was Uncle Tai's favorite balancing act, also known as the art of emperors.
Unfortunately, he overdid it.
Bai Jiangbo is too useless and can't take a beating at all, while Xu Jiang is too fierce. He has gradually become powerful and no longer takes Uncle Tai seriously.
According to Tang Ping and Gao Qiqiang's original plan, they would do Tai Shu a favor so that he would deal with Xu Jiang, but they did not expect that Tai Shu would not want to get involved in this matter at all.
Or perhaps he was afraid of unreasonable and stubborn people like Xu Jiang.
"So what should we do now?" Gao Qiqiang frowned, unconsciously pulling a bag of coffee from his pocket and pouring it into his mouth to chew.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Xu Jiang will definitely retaliate against us next, Lao Gao. Have you ever heard of the word 'crisis'?"
"Um?"
Gao Qiqiang was taken aback, not understanding what Tang Ping meant.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "Danger plus opportunity equals crisis. Simply put, Xu Jiang's revenge on us is a danger, but it is precisely because of this danger that there is an opportunity. Think about Bai Jiangbo's identity. If you can withstand Xu Jiang's pressure, Bai Jiangbo's position will be yours. Even better, if you can kill Xu Jiang, Xu Jiang's position will be yours."
