Leaving the two guys in the apartment, Chen Fan went out alone.

He is going to meet General Guo today.

Ever since he handed the bar over to Guo Shuai last time, Chen Fan hasn't met Guo Shuai for a while.

This guy chose the most difficult path to take, and Chen Fan was really worried that he would be stubborn and go down this path to the end.

The purpose of giving the bar to Guo Shuai to run is to hope that this guy can slowly turn around on his own.

We took a taxi to the Guanghui Nian Yue Bar located on the commercial street in the city center.

When we arrived, the bar had not yet officially opened, and the lobby was a bit empty, with only a few tables of guests drinking and chatting.

On the stage in the middle, a girl with blue hair sat there tuning a guitar.

A waiter came up to me and asked, "How many people are there, sir? Do you have a reservation?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised. Business is so good? Do you even need to make an appointment?

"I'm looking for your boss."

"Are you looking for Manager Guo?"

Chen Fan explained: "I am his brother."

The waiter looked alert.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you contact without an appointment."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay. I'll call him myself."

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, you're too arrogant. I have to make an appointment if I want to see you."

"Nonsense, I'm on the first floor of the bar."

Before Chen Fan hung up the phone, he heard an excited shout from upstairs.

"Brother Fan."

Guo Shuai ran down the stairs with an excited look on his face, and rushed up to give Chen Fan a bear hug.

"Damn it. You haven't been here for so long, and I thought you forgot about me, your brother."

After saying that, he yelled at the waiter next to him.

"What's that look? This is my brother. Remember this. When he comes, notify me immediately."

The waiter quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't know..."

Chen Fan naturally couldn't be serious with a waiter, so he just waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Guo Shuai patted Chen Fan on the shoulder.

"I know you don't like crowds. Let's go upstairs to my office and talk."

The two of them walked upstairs chatting and laughing. A waiter came over and joked with a smile.

"You don't even know the boss. You are really asking for trouble."

The waiter who had just been reprimanded by the boss looked aggrieved, "I've only been here for a month, and no one told me that the boss has a big brother..."

"What do you know? I'm telling you. Remember, next time Mr. Chen comes, you must treat him with the utmost hospitality."

"Do you know why not?"

The old employee muttered in a low voice: "It is said that this bar was given to Mr. Guo by Mr. Chen. Do you understand? In fact, Mr. Chen is the boss behind this bar."

The new employee immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark."

"Hey, I'm glad you're so smart. You still have a lot to learn in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes. But Brother Zhang, what does this Mr. Chen do? He looks so young, could he be a descendant of a big family?"

This brother immediately glared at the other person.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about, okay?"

"Is it your place to ask about someone's identity?"

Seeing the newcomer looking nervous and scared, Brother Zhang continued mysteriously.

"Look at your timid look, I will only tell you one thing."

"Do you still remember the news about the Yunhai Zhao family that caused a lot of noise a while ago?"

The new waiter nodded repeatedly.

"I know, I know. We have been discussing this for some time."

"It is said that the second young master of the Zhao family had offended Mr. Chen before... Later, the news about the Zhao family became popular on the Internet, and then the Zhao family was suppressed by the higher-ups to quell the anger on the Internet. And the second young master of the Zhao family was directly detained in the detention center for more than half a month before being released."

"This was only released after the Zhao family asked my grandfather to help them and used countless connections to smooth things over..."

At this point, the old employee stopped talking, with a look on his face that said, "Do you understand?"

Sure enough, the newcomer's eyes lit up instantly.

"Does this mean that Mr. Chen's background is likely to reach the top?"

"Our boss calls Mr. Chen 'Big Brother', so how can those of us who follow him have a bad life in the future?"

…

Upstairs, Chen Fan didn't know that his image had become extremely legendary among the bar employees.

At this moment, he looked at Guo Shuai who was making tea in front of him with a troubled look on his face.

"I say, stop pretending to be sophisticated and just give me a bottle of mineral water."

Guo Shuai chuckled a little awkwardly.

"I've recently learned how to make tea. I heard it can help nourish your energy."

"How old are you? Are you already starting to cultivate your Qi?"

Guo Shuai walked to the refrigerator next to him, opened it, took out a bottle of soda and handed it to Chen Fan.

"You are such a busy man, how come you have time to come and see me today?"

Chen Fan took the soda without opening it, and asked casually.

"Come and see how you are doing."

Guo Shuai walked over and sat down, took out a cigarette, and first handed one to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.

Guo Shuai took out a lighter and lit one for Chen Fan, then he lit one for himself.

After taking a deep breath, he raised his head and looked at Chen Fan.

"When I was in school, I smoked, but most of the time it was just to show off and act cool in front of girls."

"I didn't expect that I would become addicted to smoking now."

Chen Fan frowned slightly: "I remember you said before that you had quit smoking when you were in there."

Guo Shuai smiled bitterly: "With a bunch of brothers, I also have to manage a bar. I usually deal with all kinds of people. How can I not smoke?"

Chen Fan couldn't help but ask, "How is the bar doing these days? Is it okay?"

Guo Shuai chuckled.

"That's quite possible."

"Brother Fan, I fully followed the advice you gave me at the time. That is to leave professional matters to professionals.

"I knew I wasn't cut out for business, so I hired a manager from somewhere else. You know what? The bar turned a profit in the first month after it opened."

"Although the monthly turnover of the bar is not particularly large, the weekly alcohol sales are gradually increasing. This shows that it is starting to get on track."

Chen Fan nodded: "That's good. At first I was worried that you would mess around and ruin the bar."

Guo Shuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, I'm not that bad, okay?"

"Oh, I have another piece of good news for you."

Guo Shuai held a cigarette in his mouth, his face full of excitement.

"Some time ago, something happened to the Zhao family. They were targeted by the higher-ups for manipulation. In order to appease public opinion online, I heard that the umbrella behind the Zhao family dared not say a word this time."

Guo Shuai became more and more excited as he spoke: "The Zhao family has suffered a heavy loss. Someone cut their aorta directly."

After the negotiation with Zhao Wen, the head of the Zhao family, Chen Fan no longer paid attention to this matter.

Now listening to what Guo Shuai said, Chen Fan couldn't help but become interested.

"How is the Zhao family doing now?"

Guo Shuai chuckled.

"In order to keep their main business, the Zhao family had to gradually divest themselves of those businesses that were usually kept secret."

"Moreover, in order to give an explanation to the higher-ups, many of the dogs that the Zhao family secretly raised were arrested. All of them were sentenced to heavy penalties. No one dared to plead for them."

Shuai Guo's face was full of excitement.

"After the Zhao family got into trouble, the entertainment venues on Huaqi Street were in a mess, and no one dared to take over. I got a great bargain for nothing."

"That street is now my responsibility."

"That group of guys pays me a membership fee every month, and I am responsible for finding people to protect their place from harassment."

Chen Fan felt helpless.

Is this guy really determined to go down this path until the end?

Looking up at Guo Shuai, Chen Fan sighed.

"Have you thought it through? It's easy to get in, but it's not so easy to get back out."
