After returning home, Yu Hao sat inside and pondered for a while.
Today's experience felt truly surreal.
I originally intended to apply for the job, but inexplicably ended up taking on another one.
They gave quite a lot.
Of course, Yu Hao was self-aware enough not to run away with the money, or perhaps he did a lot of work.
For someone of Wu Changfeng's stature, getting rid of me would be a piece of cake.
There are still many powerful and ruthless figures in this era.
There are many people who live on the edge, and although he had been through it himself, he knew that there were always people more capable than him, and there was always something beyond his reach.
Moreover, she has already started a family and established a career, and is no longer alone.
Yu Hao lit a cigarette, took a puff, glanced at the stacks of banknotes beside him, and smiled.
“Wu Changfeng used to be a complete scoundrel; he carries my aura.”
Before leaving the Star City, Yu Hao went to Jiangcheng.
In the suburbs, I handed over a car to a refined-looking man named Huo Jiaqi.
Yu Hao didn't drive it home; instead, he found a place to store it.
Otherwise, the origin of the vehicle cannot be explained.
He pulled out a wad of cash and hid the rest.
Then he went out of the house.
Walk to the west side of Jiangcheng, and you'll find a factory's residential area.
The original factory had long since gone out of business.
Only the original workers remain living there.
Yu Hao went upstairs and knocked on a door.
A short while later, a young man wearing only his underwear opened the door.
"Brother Hao! Holy crap, it's been so long! What brings you here? Come on in."
"Ah Hui, I just came to see you."
The two went inside.
Yu Hao pinched his nose and looked at the room, which was a mess, like a garbage dump.
He said, "If you don't tidy up, how can anyone live here?"
Ah Hui chuckled a few times: "What's there to be afraid of when you're single? Just live life to the fullest."
Ah Hui handed me a cigarette and asked, "Brother Hao, you haven't hung out with me in ages. You've got a wife now, and you've even forgotten about me? Don't leave tonight, we have to have a drink!"
Yu Hao smiled and said, "It's my treat."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. We used to hang out together, and now that you're leaving, you really have to make it up to us."
Yu Hao nodded: "Call them over tonight."
Ahui immediately perked up: "Brother Hao, planning to make a comeback? Awesome!"
Yu Hao shook his head: "No, I have something important to discuss with you. You go find someone, and I'll go buy groceries and wine. We'll stay at your place."
"Okay, I'll go now. They're all just bored out of their minds. Right now they're either playing pool or staying at home."
After saying that, the two went their separate ways.
An hour later.
Five energetic young men were sitting in the room, each of them looking nonchalant.
"Brother Hao."
"Hey, Hao-ge!"
"Damn, Hao finally came out?"
"Brother Hao, come on, let's have a drink."
Yu Hao laughed heartily: "Come on, let's have a drink. It's good that you guys haven't forgotten about me."
Ah Hui said, "Look at what Brother Hao is saying. We've fought and been through thick and thin together, how could I forget you?"
"That's right. Ever since you got a wife, we haven't had much to do. We just have to do our own thing."
Yu Hao glanced at the group and said, "To put it bluntly, you're just short of money to play, right? If anyone had money, would you have split up?"
Ahui chuckled: "This is called saving resources and opening up channels, but the bond between brothers is genuine."
The group drank and chatted for a while.
Yu Hao gestured for them to quiet down: "I'm here today because I have something to do."
After saying that, he took out a wad of cash from his bag and put it on the table: "Take this and divide it among yourselves."
No one dared to move; they all stared at Yu Hao.
Ahui's eyes widened: "Brother Hao, what do you mean by this? If you become rich, we'll take it. But you're in the same boat as us, you still have a family to support. Even if we don't have money, we can't take it."
Yu Hao smiled and said, "You think you can just take it for free?"
Ah Hui asked, "What's going on? If Brother Hao has enemies and needs our help, please take the money back, and we'll set off immediately."
The others chimed in, "Yeah, there has to be a reason."
Everyone was puzzled by Yu Hao's sudden taking of money. What kind of work did he have on hand?
Murder is absolutely out of the question!
We can't do this kind of work. We can hit people, but we can't commit crimes.
After all, although we have a good relationship, we wouldn't risk our lives for each other.
Yu Hao said, "A boss approached me and asked me to do a very simple job: spread some information in a village in Jiangcheng."
"However, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. I've brought you here, so take this money and buy yourselves a suit. Dress smartly, like a capable boss or employee, understand?"
Ah Hui relaxed a bit: "It's such a small matter? We'll accept it then."
The group split the money with smiles and stuffed it into their pockets.
Yu Hao said with a warning tone, "This money is for you to buy suits. You must wear them tomorrow. Anyone who doesn't buy one can get the hell out of here, understand?"
"I know, I know. Brother Hao's word carries weight."
Ahui rubbed his hands together and continued, "Well, that's quite a lot of money."
Yu Hao knew exactly what they were thinking: they were asking what to do with the remaining money—whether they wanted it returned.
Yu Hao generously said, "The rest is all yours. There's more to come after you finish the work. And the boss will cover your food and drinks too."
"Thanks, Brother Hao! Come on, guys, let's toast Brother Hao!"
They were naturally delighted with such an easy way to make money.
They drank for a while longer.
Ahui asked, "Brother Hao, how exactly do we do it?"
