Chapter 373 A Little Interlude

After Xing Baohua replied to the message, she noticed that the other party did not respond for a long time.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, the pager still hadn't responded. Xing Baohua picked up his phone and thought for a moment.

I dialed back using the phone number left in the message.

Although we are both Chinese, I imagine the other person must have encountered great difficulties to give him the information.

Those who are away from home and far from their hometown should lend a helping hand if they can.

The phone line is busy.

Xing Baohua was only able to get the call answered the second time he tried.

Hello, who are you?

"Who are you? I'm looking for someone named Zhang Feng. He just paged me," Xing Baohua asked, noticing the other person sounding a little anxious.

"Ah! It's me, it's me, sorry. I just messaged several classmates who have pagers, who are you..."

"I'm that classmate from Luzhong." Xing Baohua recalled that he didn't give his name at the time, but only the name of his hometown.

"Oh! Hello, classmate, may I ask your name?"

"Xing Baohua, what exactly happened?" Xing Baohua asked.

"It's like this..."

It turns out that Zhang Feng and other students from mainland China who were admitted to the University of Hong Kong had all arranged to meet with several classmates.

Coincidentally, it was a female classmate's birthday in China today, so we chipped in to have a small meal at a quiet place, which would also help us strengthen our friendship.

One of them, who came from a well-off family, said that eating at small restaurants was pointless. Since they were in this wonderful world, they should see things they wouldn't normally see.

They're all young people, full of curiosity and a playful spirit.

Of the six people, two girls lacked their own opinions and followed the other classmates to the nightclub.

In a place where all sorts of people mingle, how could these inexperienced newbies possibly get away with it?

Most of the expenses were paid by the classmate whose family was well-off.

But at the consumption venue, a bottle of beer normally costs four or five times more.

Each person only ordered one bottle of beer.

One of the girls was quite attractive and caught the eye of the gang leader who ran the place.

The same old trick, just a little routine.

First, find an empty Louis XIII bottle and fill it with a bottle of Coke.

Have the waiter place it on a tray and walk over.

I walked back and forth twice, but not a single one of these little lambs moved.

We had no choice but to wait for the right opportunity.

Fortunately, the pretty girl probably wanted to go to the restroom. Just as she stood up and stepped out of the small sofa, she bumped into the waiter serving drinks.

That's how the routine came about.

A bottle of Louis XIII is priced at 68,800.

These students can't afford to pay for it!

They couldn't leave; they were surrounded by the security guards.

They then took them to the back office to discuss compensation.

If they can raise the money tonight, they'll release her. If not, the girl will have to work to pay off the debt.

Without even thinking about it, what good would it do if the girl stayed?

So everyone started thinking of ways to raise the money.

These are just some greenhorns who have just joined the team; they don't know anyone here! They're all incredibly anxious.

So Zhang Feng said he would go out and think of a solution. This kid was quick-witted. When he first arrived in Hong Kong, he contacted Chinese people as soon as he met them.

I also liked a lot of their contact information.

We'll call them one by one, regardless of whether it works or not, regardless of saving face, just get our classmates out of there first. We'll see if we can help raise the compensation money.

I went out and found a small convenience store where I could make public phone calls and send messages.

When Xing Baohua called back, Zhang Feng told him the whole story as quickly as possible.

It's right to ask fellow villagers for help, but you should report it to the police first, and then contact the relevant authorities in Hong Kong.

Xing Baohua thought it was a simple matter and decided to lend a hand.

After asking Zhang Feng for his address, Xing Baohua put on his clothes and told Master Zhou that he was going out to take care of some business.

When Master Zhou saw the guy's phone call, he nodded.

We arrived at the place Zhang Feng had mentioned, a place called Night Dream.

They went in with seven or eight guards.

The security guards aren't afraid of the other party calling for backup, since if anything is damaged, they can just pay for it at cost.

You can be right no matter where you go.

Is Louis XIII really worth over 60,000?

Prices vary from store to store, depending on the year and the target consumer group.

Therefore, 60,000 is not very expensive.

It's just a lesson learned.

"Hey! These guys' got some connections, huh? Well then, give them some face. Same old deal, pay for the drinks and the brothers' wages, round it up to 100,000." The boss of the place said with a smile.

“I was in a hurry to leave late at night and don’t have that much cash. Would a check work?” Xing Baohua replied.

"Is this your first day in the game? You collect debts in cash, who would dare ask for a check and leave a mark?" The other party slammed his hand on the table, stood up and yelled at Xing Baohua.

Xing Baohua scratched his head. It was indeed difficult to get cash this late!

Is it difficult to call your own employees and ask them to go to an ATM to get the money?

I remember Andy Lau played a rich young master in one of his movies who pretended to be weak but actually cunning, and had his butler order his men to do this.

One hundred thousand isn't much; a few people took it out.

Xing Baohua didn't do that. Instead, he took out his phone and called Camel Chen.

"Boss Xing, you're still up so late!" Camel Chen answered the phone with a smile.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I've kept you from resting. There's something I need your help with," Xing Baohua said calmly.

Camel Chen, who was playing cards with his men, suddenly became serious.

The things Xing Baohua asked him to help with were no small matters.

We just appointed a group leader for the three-person group.
