Although he had heard that I was doing well in the underworld, and that my involvement with Hei Zi dropping out of school to join a gang was largely due to me, he never expected...
I've managed to get this far because we're about the same age, and he's been in the gang for a few years and knows it's not an easy place to be.
He regretted dropping out of school to join a gang back then, unaware of his own limitations, but it was too late.
Now, he's managed to get close to the gang leader using his cleverness, offering suggestions and assigning minor tasks.
That's pretty much the end of the road. After all, there are still real college graduates out there, and many places that need clerical jobs won't assign him to one.
Just when he was feeling most triumphant, he suddenly discovered that his boss was actually a subordinate of his childhood friend. At that moment, he almost had a mental breakdown.
But he was a bit clever, and he quickly adjusted his mindset, immediately greeting him as before: "Brother Gang, are you our boss? That's great!"
I'm a little sentimental, since most people call me Fourth Young Master, and almost no one calls me Brother Gang.
After all, at my age, I basically don't have anyone younger than me under my command. The only one younger than me who I can still use is Barbara.
I said with a sigh, "Hey Hei Zi, how did you two end up in a gang?"
Liu Xin quickly lowered his head and replied, "Hei Zi also works under Ermin. Neither of us are cut out for studying."
We started working before we even finished junior high. Brother Ermin saw that we were young, so he gave us some errand-running jobs, which at least ensured we had enough to eat.
We're from completely different worlds now, so I just said a few words and then let him leave.
After all, I'm from another time, so I don't have any real feelings for him.
Asking even a few questions is already more than enough; besides, this kid isn't a good person—petty, irresponsible, and always trying to take advantage.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have rejected him when I was selecting people and went to find Lu Ze instead, because both he and Hei Zi have obvious flaws.
I turned to Ermin and reminded him, "That kid's a slippery fellow, irresponsible, and dishonest. Be careful when using him, or you'll get betrayed."
Ermin said with great surprise, "I think it's pretty good. It's quite clever and smart. The little black guy is also quite honest and kind. They're both great."
I glanced at Ermin and said, "This Liu Xin likes to play tricks and try to take advantage of others. He's also narrow-minded. And that little black guy is too easily influenced."
"They lack their own opinions and are easily fooled. If they didn't have such obvious flaws, would I even need to go out and find Lu Ze?"
Brother Ermin knows my few underlings, and he also knows the situation of Ma Lian and Lu Ze. After thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed the case.
I then said, "Was it my old man who put this person in your shoes?"
Ermin was genuinely surprised this time. Before he could reply, I continued, "Liu Xin's dad and my dad are in the same racing team. He must have heard that I've made a name for myself."
He was resentful that people always talked about him and his gang. He also dropped out of school to join a gang, but he wasn't the type to start from scratch. He must have gone to my dad for help.
After saying a few nice words, my dad readily agreed to take on the task and sent the person here. You're only keeping him because of my dad, and he even gave him some preferential treatment.”
