In the lounge, Xu Erhai was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette, his wound being bandaged by medical staff. Zhao Xukun walked in.
There were not many people in the lounge. Zhao Xukun asked the bodyguard to ask everyone else to leave. He wanted to talk to Xu Erhai alone.
Tonight, when Zhao Xukun was watching his game on the rostrum, he had already noticed Zhao Xukun. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xukun actually came to his door in person. Xu Erhai also guessed the meaning of his visit, but he never expected that he actually knew Qin Fen and his group from the King of Magic City.
After everyone left the lounge, Xu Erhai did not get up, but continued to lie there, smoking a cigarette, and ignored Zhao Xukun.
"Hey, we finally meet again. You had a pretty good fight in the boxing ring just now."
Zhao Xukun also took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, exhaled, and took the initiative to greet Xu Erhai.
"What's the matter with you?"
Xu Erhai looked at the white ceiling above his head and said softly.
"Hiss, actually, I came here today to tell you that from now on, you will just follow me."
Xu Erhai sneered.
"Humph! Do it with you?"
"Well, that's right. You know I can get along with Qin Fen and the others, so you know it would only take a few minutes for me to poach you. Now I'm giving you two choices. One, follow me. I can guarantee that your future life will be ten times, or even a hundred times, better than it is now. I can also help you treat your sister. You can rest assured about the money. You've seen this before."
"As for the other path, I think you're clear. I don't know the details of the match you played tonight, but I do know that this is the match that Young Master Qin, Young Master Zhou, and the others wanted to see. If you stay, you know better than me what kind of situation you'll face. Think about it carefully."
After listening to what Zhao Xukun said, Xu Erhai was stunned and took a deep puff of cigarette. Xu Erhai, who had been in Qingxuan Club for a few months, naturally heard from other players how severe the boss's punishment was for violating their orders. They would be kicked out of the Qingxuan Club. It didn't matter if they were kicked out, they would use their own channels. Anyway, if you can't make it in the boxing industry in the future, they will try their best to take away your current job.
In addition, Xu Erhai was a person from outside the area and was introduced into the Qingxuan Club by accident. Many people in the Qingxuan Club joined earlier than him and had formed a small circle. They were very exclusive to this new member who was an outsider and quite good at boxing. At one point, they united and deliberately made things difficult for him. Also, because he was an outsider, the salary offered to him by the Qingxuan Club was pitifully low.
This led to him taking on business on the underworld and meeting Zhao Xukun. If he was kicked out of the Qingxuan Club, the only skill he had was fighting, and he couldn't punch. Was he going to have to go the underworld route?
He brought his sister to Shanghai because he heard that the medical level here was high and the salary here was generally high. That's why he stayed in Shanghai now. Unexpectedly, the salary paid by Qingxuan Club to local and foreign boxers was very different.
Now that she has left the Qingxuan Club, she has enough money to treat her sister. Even if her sister recovers, she will still need medicine and examinations in the future. They both have to live. It doesn't matter if she has to suffer a little, but she has to take her sister out to suffer together. She has suffered enough since she was a child.
After thinking for a while, Xu Erhai got up from the bed, looked at Zhao Xukun with his bright eyes, and asked.
"If I work with you, how much will you pay me?"
This is the result Zhao Xukun wanted, he pointed with his fingers and said.
"As long as you are willing to work with me, I can pay you 50,000 yuan a month."
Fifty thousand yuan was considered a very high salary in Shanghai in 2016. That means six hundred thousand yuan a year, which is many times more than his boxing salary.
"Okay, I can work with you, boss!"
"Boss, regarding what happened last time..."
Xu Erhai felt guilty about what happened last time. His future goal was now to become his own boss. Everything was very subtle.
"Well, don't mention what happened last time. I can completely pretend it never happened. You were seriously injured tonight, so take good care of yourself. Contact me in a few days after you've completed the formalities. This is my business card."
Zhao Xukun stood up and patted Xu Erhai on the shoulder, interrupting him, then took out a film title of his own and gave it to Xu Erhai.
He was not in a hurry for the next two days. He wanted to wait for Xu Erhai to recover from his injuries before getting the information he wanted from him.
Xu Erhai coughed a few times excitedly, took the business card from Zhao Xukun and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you, boss!"
"I'll have someone take you to the hospital later. Contact me when you're better. I'm leaving now."
After leaving the lounge, Zhao Xukun returned to the podium. It was almost dawn, and he said goodbye to Qin Fen and others.
.................
The next afternoon, Zhao Xukun, who was resting in the villa, was awakened by a phone call. Xu Erhai had almost recovered, so he took the initiative to contact Zhao Xukun and made an appointment to meet him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xukun appeared in a teahouse to meet Xu Erhai.
"Boss, I know you have a lot of questions for me. Ask them now and I will tell you what I know."
There was still no expression on Xu Erhai's face. He seemed to be born with a cold look.
"Last time, which group asked you to deal with me? Do you know why they came to deal with me?"
"I'm not sure about that. I've taken on several deals before, but they were all small assignments. All I know about this deal is that their leader is called Fly, and it was Fly who sent his men to hand over the deal to me. It was the man who drove the car that day. He took me to see their boss, Fly. Fly knew I needed money right away, so he offered me 80,000 yuan. The only requirement was to chop off the other person's hands and feet."
"Last time I managed to escape, their leader didn't do anything to you?"
"Perhaps they'll let you off so easily if you're asked to continue on with this mission?"
Zhao Xukun had learned from the Internet before that for those gangsters like them, if their mission failed, the consequences they would face would be very serious. However, Xu Erhai appeared in front of him alive, not like a seller who had just made a deal.
