Liu Guangqi saw Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiecheng also saw Liu Guangqi. The Liu family and the Yan family did not have any deep hatred; they had even cooperated before. Although an accident occurred, it could not be blamed on Liu Guangqi.
Seeing Liu Guangqi bowing and scraping to him, Yan Jiecheng felt extremely excited. If someone becomes successful but doesn't let their former friends know, it's better not to have become successful at all.
"Guangqi, I never imagined we'd meet again like this after all these years. It feels like it all happened just yesterday. I remember we used to play together a lot when we were kids. We were even good friends."
"Master Yan, you can just call me Xiao Liu or Xiao Qi. It's my honor to serve you, Master Yan. How could I possibly be your friend?"
"If Lord Yan doesn't mind, I'll be your most loyal dog from now on. Just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to handle it perfectly."
Hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Yan Jiecheng gently patted Liu Guangqi's shoulder. Although he had quite a few men under his command, these men had all come from Shanxi, and they knew too much about certain things, which might not necessarily be a good thing.
If his wife's side of the family finds out, he's afraid he won't have a good life. Liu Guangqi in front of him seems like a decent person.
Good people have their uses, and bad people have theirs. Yan Jiecheng naturally knew what kind of person Liu Guangqi was.
This kind of person is fine to use occasionally, but if you really make him a confidant, he could turn against you at any time. With no one else available, Yan Jiecheng decided to make good use of Liu Guangqi.
"Guangqi, you don't need to say that. We're friends, after all. From now on, you'll be the manager of this bar. Run this bar well, and I won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Master Yan. I will definitely manage this bar well for you from now on and will not let you down."
"Work hard. If you do well, I can give you 10% of the profits. If you don't, I'll have to replace you with a different manager."
Having been a coal mine owner for so long, Yan Jiecheng is no longer the same Yan Jiecheng he once was. His control over people is now incredibly powerful. As for how well the bar is doing, it all depends on Yan Jiecheng's word. If Yan Jiecheng says it's good, it's good; if he says it's bad, Liu Guangqi can't do anything about it. As for how much money he gets, that depends entirely on Yan Jiecheng's mood.
The naive Liu Guangqi had no idea what Yan Jiecheng was thinking. At this moment, Liu Guangqi felt like a thoroughbred horse had met its discerning owner, and his heart was filled with excitement.
After taking over the bar, Liu Guangqi worked tirelessly to help Yan Jiecheng earn money. Although he would secretly take some extra income, he still created considerable value for Yan Jiecheng.
To earn more money, Liu Guangqi also recruited many prostitutes. Perhaps it was a special fate, but the people from the courtyard house unexpectedly reunited in this bar.
The sisters who were sold didn't have a particularly good life. Xiao Huaihua's life was alright, but Xiao Dang's life was simply indescribable.
They were bought by different people. But a strange twist of fate brought them together again. People who sell children are definitely those who don't have children themselves and whose families are relatively well-off. People like this usually have some problems, and those problems will surface when the wind blows.
Both families were affected to some extent, but in the end, they actually developed a bond. However, because so many years have passed, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua no longer recognize each other.
Little Huaihua was adopted by a family surnamed Zhu and renamed Zhu Li. Because she was only a few years old when she was adopted, she had no memory of her past.
Xiao Dang was a bit older and still had some recollection of the past. But thinking about Qin Huairu and the Jia family's attitude towards her, Xiao Dang never went to see them.
Xiao Dang got married a few years ago, but for some reason, she ended up like Qin Huairu. Her husband broke his leg in an accident a couple of years ago, and all the burdens fell on Xiao Dang's shoulders.
Left with no other option, Xiao Dang became a dancer, which led her to become one of Liu Guangqi's women. They say girls change a lot as they grow up, and after so many years, Liu Guangqi didn't recognize Xiao Dang. Moreover, Xiao Dang had changed her name; her current name is Bai Jie.
Although Liu Guangqi didn't know Bai Jie, Bai Jie did know Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi's family had caused Bai Jie considerable harm; Liu Guangqi had beaten them quite a bit back then.
Even though Bai Jie deeply hated Liu Guangqi, she dared not show it, instead constantly flattering him. Liu Guangqi, in his forties, was still unmarried and spent his free time having affairs with Bai Jie.
As Qin Huairu's daughter, Bai Jie was naturally no better. Moreover, Bai Jie wasn't new to this kind of thing; she was quite skilled and quickly became the bar's manager by offering herself to Liu Guangqi.
Since becoming the foreman, she has pressured many other women to do business. If any woman disobeys, Bai Jie will have someone beat her up severely, or even hire someone to run a train.
Gradually, no one dared to disobey anymore, because Bai Jie wasn't the only one with tricks up her sleeve; both Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi had many ways to deal with these people. Because these women were obedient, more and more people came to the bar, causing its business to skyrocket.
People who go out to have fun naturally want to have a good time. With these sensible women around, they naturally have a better time.
The Yan family members are all extremely stingy, so don't expect Yan Jiecheng to give his subordinates much money. Yan Jiecheng alone takes 90% of the profits, leaving very little for others.
Yan Jiecheng wielded immense power, and even if others wanted to rebel, they lacked the ability. However, where there's a will, there's a way. Liu Guangqi wasn't exactly a saint either; he constantly sought ways to profit from Yan Jiecheng.
The thought of Yan Jiecheng going back on his word sparked a wicked idea in Liu Guangqi's mind. Bars are places where all sorts of people mingle; it's inevitable that some will sell other things. Liu Guangqi simply turned a blind eye to such things, focusing only on reaping his own benefits.
Bai Jie also had her own methods. Although the salary was a bit low, Bai Jie would find a way to earn some extra money from her girlfriends' outings to solicit customers.
The two men acted in almost identical ways: they made their own money, and if anything went wrong, they'd let Yan Jiecheng take the blame. After all, Yan Jiecheng was the boss, and they were just working for him. Even if something did go wrong, it would be Yan Jiecheng's problem.
With Liu Guangqi and Bai Jie, these two brilliant strategists, working together, Yan Jiecheng's bar quickly became a chaotic and unpleasant place. Although the situation became somewhat complicated, business continued to improve.
Everything was being done cautiously, and no one else was that bold. The bar owned by Yan Jiecheng was the most popular in the entire city of Beijing.
People who come out to have fun naturally want to have as much fun as possible, and as a result, Yan Jiecheng's bar had a double negative that turned into a positive. Seeing that business was getting better and better, Yan Jiecheng, unusually generous, gave each of his employees a small bonus.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take two girls with him. Seeing Yan Jiecheng preparing to take the girls out, Liu Guangqi immediately called Bai Jie over. After whispering a few words to her, Bai Jie promptly arranged for two girls. Don't expect them to have any good intentions; they were both thinking the same thing: to find problematic girls for Yan Jiecheng.
If you were to ask who understands the girls best, besides the girls themselves, it would be Bai Jie. Bai Jie knows perfectly well which girls are sick and which are not.
Having received Liu Guangqi's instructions, Bai Jie was determined to make a good impression. How she would do so was only known to the young lady and Yan Jiecheng. As for the consequences, that was none of Bai Jie's concern, since it was Liu Guangqi's personal order.
