After leaving the police station, Tang Ping rushed to Jianning County.
Bai Xiaojie brought people to Jianning early this morning. Since they came by chartered car, they should arrive around the afternoon.
Jianning County is a poverty-stricken county in the Jinghai City area. It is located in the mountains, with underdeveloped transportation and a slow economic development.
The county town is small, with very few tall buildings. The roads are also very congested, with red three-wheeled motorcycles and taxis everywhere soliciting passengers.
After Tang Ping took Zhao Wei to the county town, they first rented two three-story buildings to serve as dormitories for the company's employees. These buildings originally belonged to the old textile factory, but they had been vacant since the factory closed down.
They rented two more floors next to a commercial street as office space.
The distances are not far.
The landlady who rented the house couldn't stop smiling. Normally, it's impossible to rent out a house in this run-down county town. Since the old textile factory closed down, her house has been vacant for almost half a year.
Tang Ping rented two buildings and an office all at once, and the contract was for five years. This was a huge income, and she could be considered a real landlady.
"Boss, I've cleaned your dorm room thoroughly, but I think you might be missing some sheets and blankets if you're staying there tonight. How about I go and buy them for you? My brother owns a wholesale store for daily necessities; they have everything, and I guarantee it's at wholesale prices."
"Okay, go and make the purchases. When they arrive, give me the bill. It needs to be enough for thirty-six people," Tang Ping nodded.
The living supplies for these accommodations don't cost much, and the landlady is willing to run around to bring business for her younger brother, which also allows Tang Ping to relax.
This time, Bai Xiaojie and Hu Xiandong brought more than thirty brothers from Jinghai, most of whom were Hu Xiandong's underlings. The construction company staff were responsible for bidding.
As for the workers needed for subsequent construction, a batch can be brought in from Jinghai, and some more can be recruited locally.
As long as the boss is willing to pay, workers can be recruited at any time.
Around 4 PM, Bai Xiaojie and Hu Xiandong arrived with a group of over thirty people, so large that they had to charter a bus to fit them all.
The person who came from the construction team was Lin Sen.
"Boss, why do you insist on making such a big fuss about coming to Jianning, a small county town?" Bai Xiaojie asked as soon as she got out of the car.
"I have my own brilliant ways to make money!"
Tang Ping smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's not worry about anything else for now. Brothers, you've come all this way, so I'll take you to a restaurant first. After you've eaten and drunk your fill, we'll go to the Oriental Bath City for a massage!"
"Boss is awesome!"
A group of people applauded and cheered.
Tang Ping found a roadside food stall, and the group of over thirty people drove over in a grand procession, filling all the tables. They could order whatever they wanted, but there was one rule: no alcohol.
During the meal, Tang Ping pointed to the Oriental Bathhouse at the street corner not far away and said, "Ah Dong, do you see this bathhouse?"
"Boss, should we go and challenge them to a duel? I know this stuff well," Hu Xiandong said.
Tang Ping shook his head and said, "That was my original plan, but opening a bathhouse and competing in the ring involves too much trouble with the approvals, renting, and renovations. We might as well just go and make sure his place goes out of business. However, this time we need to be more careful. After dinner, you can arrange things like this..."
Tang Ping whispered a few words of advice to Hu Xiandong, who nodded repeatedly.
"Boss, after dinner you men go to the bathhouse for massages, what are we girls supposed to do?" Bai Xiaojie complained.
Tang Ping generously said, "When you go shopping, I'll reimburse half of all your expenses."
Bai Xiaojie was still not satisfied and said, "Half? That's too little! Let's just reimburse the whole thing!"
Tang Ping glared at her, stood up, and said, "No way! Don't think I don't know you women. If you reimbursed everything, you'd probably empty the whole mall. I can't afford that. Alright, everyone, let's eat and get started."
Bai Xiaojie took several ladies from the company shopping, while Hu Xiandong led more than twenty of his brothers directly to the Oriental Bath City.
Tang Ping and Zhao Wei went in a little later. After being led to their rooms, Tang Ping immediately ordered a massage therapist.
After the technician knocked on the door and came in, she introduced herself: "Boss, I'm technician number 18, Lili. It's a pleasure to serve you!"
How happy?
Tang Ping lay on the massage bed and asked.
"Uh..." The female technician was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Too ugly, get another one!"
Tang Ping waved his hand and said.
"Hello boss, technician number 66 is at your service."
Another technician has arrived.
Tang Ping raised his eyelids slightly and said, "You're so fat, how dare you work as a technician? Can't you lose some weight? Have some professional ethics! Let's find someone else!"
The female technician left, feeling wronged.
After changing seven or eight technicians, the manager finally appeared. He knocked on the door, entered the room, looked at Tang Ping, and asked with a smile, "Boss, you've already changed seven technicians. What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with the quality of our technicians?"
To be honest, none of the seven technicians were particularly attractive.
Moreover, some of them were even women, with broad shoulders and thick waists, which frightened Tang Ping.
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Tang Ping said bluntly, "Of course I'm not satisfied. How can this kind of stuff even show its face in public? Is this the standard of your Oriental Bathhouse? I wish I hadn't come!"
The manager was shrewd and could tell that Tang Ping was a wealthy man. He beckoned from outside, and then a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and was still wearing a school uniform walked in.
The little girl looked very innocent, and more importantly, she was very well-developed, with her breasts so prominent that Tang Ping even suspected she had grown up on hormones.
Baby face, giant breasts.
This really left Tang Ping with no choice.
The manager smiled and said, "Hehe, boss, this is one of our new girls. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. If you'd like, you can even book her for the night."
"Okay, this one's not bad, let's go with her!"
Tang Ping came here to find fault, but this time, he really couldn't find anything wrong with it, so he could only say helplessly.
Now we can only hope that Hu Xiandong will give us some results.
"Boss, let me massage your legs first!"
The little girl was clearly a novice. She asked a question cautiously, and only started pressing the buttons after Tang Ping agreed.
"How old are you?" Tang Ping asked casually.
"Seventeen."
"So young, still in high school, right? What made you decide to work in a place like this?"
The little girl paused for a moment, then said, "My brother broke someone's head and he has to pay compensation, or else he'll be arrested and thrown in jail. Our family can't afford to pay, so we have to use me to settle the debt."
Most of the stories told by prostitutes are made up, but what this little girl said is probably true.
Tang Ping said, "What era are we living in? How can such a thing still happen? Tell me honestly, who did your brother hit?"
