Hou Taotao was excited. "Sixth Brother, how is it? I've managed the martial arts training ground well, haven't I? I'll have the managers of each branch bring you the accounts later so you can review them."
"Um"
A response devoid of any emotion.
"Sixth Brother, we miss you so much! The brothers have wanted to come find you several times, but I stopped them each time. Please don't leave!"
Zhao Xiaoyue found it all hilarious. Good heavens, cautiously chasing after Leng Ruobingshan?
Upon entering a large conference room, a row of eight people stood up in unison, all looking at the person who had just entered with excited eyes.
Master Pu glanced at them one by one, then walked straight to the main seat, lifted the front of his long robe and sat down, with a little boy standing behind him.
Hou Taotao also sat down.
Zhao Xiaoyue could see the nine people sitting at the lower seat clearly.
The leaders are all here!
Decades later, a phone call to crack down on organized crime...
Hehehehehe...
On second thought, sigh, smartphones are still several years away, what a pity!
Then, among the group of older brothers sitting below, apart from Master Pu, we saw the little man behind their sixth brother, sometimes rubbing his hands excitedly, and sometimes looking ashamed and regretful, as if he had missed something important.
Her facial expressions are so rich.
Hou Taotao found it amusing, but he was also giving Zhao Xiaoyue meaningful glances, his eyes twitching with anticipation.
Sixth Brother hates it when people slack off during meetings!
Master Pu turned his head leisurely and saw his unlucky apprentice lost in thought, daydreaming.
He knew that no situation could intimidate Zhao Xiaoyue.
He narrowed his eyes. "Little Sun, what are your thoughts?"
"Hehehehe, it's a pity I can't make a phone call, otherwise I would have been rewarded with several thousand yuan. Uh... Master, I was wrong!"
Zhao Xiaoyue got carried away and blurted out what was on her mind. Then she knelt down, hugged Pu Liuye's legs, and wailed.
The group of older brothers were speechless.
Hou Taotao covered her face. If this person were to become the future leader, things would probably get chaotic.
Pu Liuye shook the leg ornament, "Wrong? Get up, Taozi go get a chair for her to sit on."
Zhao Xiaoyue quickly stood up, patted her pants, straightened her wrinkled long shirt, smiled shamelessly, and stood properly again.
The way to get along with her as your mentor is this: it's okay to be a little mischievous, but you have to be disciplined when you need to be, and you have to be serious when you need to be.
The old man never denied his own rigid side, saying that some traditions cannot be lost.
Hou Taotao took a slightly larger chair and placed it next to Master Pu.
Zhao Xiaoyue sat on the table with her head sticking out, just in time to see the various expressions on the faces of her uncles and elders. Under their probing gazes, she silently lowered her head. Damn, this is so awkward!
Master Pu tapped the table a few times, and everyone straightened their backs, their eyes all focused on their sixth brother.
After not seeing each other for many years, Sixth Brother has become patient.
He hasn't changed much; he still has a beard, loves long gowns, and is as cold as if he were made of millennia-old ice.
"Thank you for your hard work while I was away," a steady voice slowly rang out. "I've called you here today because there's something I need to discuss."
All the older brothers shouted in unison, "No trouble at all, Sixth Brother!"
Just as they were excitedly trying to control their trembling hands, they heard their sixth brother say, "I'm getting old," and then he grabbed Zhao Xiaoyue, who was hiding in a chair picking her nails, "This is your new leader!"
Zhao Xiaoyue felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground. She raised her paw and waved, giving an awkward laugh as she greeted everyone, "Hello, uncles and elders, uh." Then she nodded, lowered her head again, and continued to look at the smooth ground.
This was something your older brother begged me for, not something I shamelessly accepted. The wronged have their source, the debtor has their debtor, so don't come looking for me!
Apart from Hou Taotao, the other eight people present immediately calmed down, and the silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.
A tall, thin man in a jacket asked timidly, "Sixth Brother, is this our daughter or...?"
A person next to me with hair dyed like a squirrel's tail stepped on it.
"Ouch, myna bird, you stepped on me!"
The squirrel's tail gave a warning look, "Shut up!"
The skinny man in the jacket realized what was happening, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and then blinked.
Master Pu glanced at her, crossed his legs, and slowly explained, "This is one of my apprentices, Zhao Xiaoyue. She'll be staying here for three months. You can show her around."
“斯”
A collective gasp rippled through the room, and everyone turned to look at the person who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.
She's wearing a small ponytail, and her hair is a bit yellowish; she's dressed like a country bumpkin, isn't she? She's looking down timidly, has she been weaned yet?
Before anyone could react, Master Pu said in a slightly heavy voice, "It's settled then."
The group of older brothers were genuinely stunned and were still trying to process what had happened.
Hou Taotao slammed his fist on the table, his ferocious aura immediately radiating out. "What? Is it no use anymore?"
A rough-looking man on the left scoffed, "Hou Taotao, don't be so clever. I just didn't realize it. Since Sixth Brother said she's his apprentice, then she's our daughter, and we'll acknowledge her!"
Zhao Xiaoyue glanced up quickly, then looked down again, making a face: "She's not just driving a cruise ship, she's also steering it! She can fly a plane too!"
You know what, they really can do it, but they're too young right now.
What a tragic story!
The others expressed their dissatisfaction with the fat peach.
Sixth Brother was already a man of few words when he was young, and for some reason more than ten years ago, he became even more sparing with words. They relied entirely on Sixth Brother's glances to guess what he was doing. Only Hou Taotao was like a tapeworm in Sixth Brother's stomach, his mind was as cunning as a sieve.
During the years that Sixth Brother disappeared, they all went about their own business, tacitly allowing him to manage the company's affairs, and quietly assisting him from the sidelines.
But he's a real dog at heart. He's used to living abroad. Don't let his big, round appearance fool you; he'll beat people up at the drop of a hat. He's ruthless!
Hou Taotao instantly became as gentle as a golden retriever, smiling and chatting.
Ignoring their verbal sparring, Master Pu led Zhao Xiaoyue straight to the boxing gym.
Hou Taotao quickly ran to Pu Liuye and eagerly opened the conference room door. "Sixth Brother, be careful not to bump into anything, oh dear, girl, don't fall down."
Everyone was truly impressed by this fat guy!
Zhao Xiaoyue followed the old man to a place that looked like a boxing gym. It really opened Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes. This was no boxing gym. It was more like a multi-functional nightclub!
The place was about half the size of a football field. In the very center was a ring about 20 or 30 square meters. A shirtless foreign man threw a dark-skinned person out of the ring with a thud. Then the crowd below cheered, shouted, applauded, and cursed.
Behind them was a place resembling a rock DJ booth, where men and women were tangled up together; the sound system was so loud it made your heart tremble.
There was a partitioned area where elegantly dressed girls were coming and going one after another!
Zhao Xiaoyue glanced sideways at the glamorous girls, her eyes swirling with emotion before falling silent for a moment.
Master Pu noticed the change in Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes, and Hou Taotao also caught a glimpse of it.
Neither of them said anything; the child was probably just curious.
Pu Liuye and his group headed straight for the highest stand in the boxing gym. Pu Liuye was expressionless; the others had different expressions.
Zhao Xiaoyue gradually began to resent this atmosphere, to the point that she gradually felt the urge to explode!
