“This amount of money isn’t enough for you to eat, nor is it enough for our travel expenses back to Hong Kong. We might as well take a gamble and choose to believe him.”
The underlings looked at each other, and then one by one they started reaching into their pockets.
This one has ten or twenty yuan, that one has thirty or thirty yuan, and the other, who's a bit richer, can pull out a hundred-yuan bill...
In the end, the total came to over two thousand.
Wang Dao's eyes sharpened: "You guys are actually that rich!"
The underlings scratched their heads sheepishly: "Boss, this money was given to us by my mother. She hid it in the sole of my shoe because she was worried I wouldn't have enough money to get back."
"This money is what my younger siblings earn by collecting cardboard on a regular basis. I never intended to use it."
"Boss, this money was stuffed into my pants by my woman—"
"Stop! All of you, stop talking!" Wang Dao's face grew increasingly sullen.
Each of them has family, someone who cares for them, and someone who gives them money. They just bully him because he's the leader and no one cares for him. He's all alone, isn't that right?
Han Fei, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Han Chengshan take out his phone and immediately turned it off.
Hua Chi was quite surprised to see this: "Grandpa, how did you know he would call you?"
"I advise you to turn off your phone too."
"ah?"
Before Hua Chi could react, Han Chengshan, having failed to make one call, made another.
Luckily, Huachi's phone was on vibrate, and she hurriedly hung up the call.
"Grandpa, he did call me!"
"He's already played the good guy, so he's gotta call in reinforcements." Han Fei sneered, "Just ignore him."
The bodyguard looked at her flashing phone screen, surprised that the Third Young Master had sent people to her. She hung up the phone a second later.
Han Chengshan was frustrated after failing to get through to the phone three times in a row.
Wang Dao frowned: "Are you reliable?"
"Of course I'm reliable! You wait here, I'm going to find my Grandpa Xu!"
Old Xu never expected that misfortune would befall him.
"Hey, kid Shan, what do you want?"
"Grandpa Xu, are you busy right now?"
"It's not too busy. Your grandfather came up with a new recipe for candied hawthorn skewers, and I'm asking my partners to learn it together."
"My grandfather is here too?"
“Your grandfather is definitely not here. He’s a very busy man. He recorded a video so that we could learn from it.”
"Grandpa Xu, can I bring some people with me to learn together?"
"This... I'm afraid that won't work. These partners all paid for the training, so the people you brought can't learn for free."
"They have money, just not a lot. Can we pay in installments after they earn more?"
"It's not impossible. After all, everyone has times when they're short of money. These partners didn't have any money at the beginning either. As long as they make money later, they can share the profits."
"Then I've brought the person here. Send me an address."
"Alright."
Old Xu thought Han Chengshan had only brought one or two people, but when he opened the door and saw a large group of delinquent youths, Old Xu's temples throbbed, and he had a bad feeling.
"Old Xu, are these people all here to learn about the new product?"
"With so many people, are they also setting up stalls in this area?"
"This significantly elevates the level of competition we face in business!"
"Quiet down, all of you! I haven't even figured out what's going on yet, and you're all making a racket!" Old Xu roared.
The group fell silent, showing that Old Man Xu still held considerable influence among them.
"Young man, are all these people here to learn a trade?"
Yes, all of them.
"Come with me." Old Xu pulled him aside, away from the crowd, and muttered, "That's not fair of you. With so many people competing for business, how are others supposed to do business?"
"Grandpa Xu, you've misunderstood. They don't set up their stalls here."
"Not setting up a stall here? Are you going to expand to other cities? Do you know, we've already set up stalls in the next city, and the city after that, we have people everywhere!"
"Not mainland China."
"Huh?" Old Xu was surprised. "You mean, this group of people is going abroad to develop their careers? I didn't expect these guys who look like gangsters to actually speak English?"
“Grandpa Xu, they don’t just look like gangsters, they *are* gangsters.”
"What! Kid, how did you end up hanging out with gangsters? If your grandpa finds out, he'll break your legs!"
"They definitely won't be gangsters anymore, they're our partners! They're going to expand our candied hawthorn business to the port city and build our reputation there!" Han Chengshan's eyes sparkled: "When my grandpa finds out, he won't hit me, he'll definitely praise me!"
Old Xu looked doubtful: "I don't think your grandfather would praise you."
"Grandpa Xu, please let them learn from me, please, I'm begging you."
"Don't beg me. If your grandfather agrees, I'll definitely agree. I could have turned a blind eye to one or two people before, but now there are so many people, nearly a hundred! With such a large group, I can't make a decision on my own!"
"I can't get in touch with my grandfather; his phone is switched off."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
"Grandpa Xu, if you don't help me, I'll have to break my promise."
"It's your fault for agreeing to things without being sure of yourself. I can't help you with that!"
Old Xu turned to leave, but Han Chengshan grabbed him, "What are you doing? Let go!"
"Grandpa Xu, I won't let go unless you agree!"
"Are you trying to be a scoundrel? Be careful, or I'll tell your grandpa, and he'll beat you up!"
"Grandpa Xu, my dear grandpa!"
"No, I can't take it! I dare not be your grandfather, or I'll get a beating from him!"
Upon hearing this, Han Chengshan's eyes darted around.
"You little rascal, what kind of trick are you up to!"
"Hehe, Grandpa Xu, if you don't agree to help me, I'll tell my grandpa that you want me to call you your real grandpa. You even said in private that you want me to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die!"
"You brat! I have my own grandson, why would I need you to take care of me in my old age or bury me in my final days! I'm not dead yet!"
"I don't care. It's easy to spread rumors. I can say whatever I want. I'll keep talking until my grandpa gets angry and comes over to beat you up!"
"Even the most unruly women in the village aren't as unreasonable as you!"
"Hmph, you absolutely have to help me. If you don't, I'll become a scoundrel!"
"I won't help you. Threatening me won't work."
Han Chengshan called out to Uncle Tie, "Uncle Tie, hurry up and film! I'm going to kneel down and kowtow three times to my grandfather right now! I don't believe my grandfather won't be angry when he sees this video!"
Seeing that Han Chengshan was really about to kneel down to him, Old Man Xu's scalp tingled, and he grabbed Han Chengshan's shoulder tightly: "You brat, are you trying to get me killed?!"
"Grandpa Xu, please help me, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Meeting Han Chengshan's stubborn gaze, Old Man Xu knew that Han Chengshan would likely not agree to this matter.
Old Xu sighed, "I shouldn't have answered your call, and I shouldn't have sent you my address!"
"Hehe, Grandpa Xu, it's too late to regret it now!"
"Alright, take your people and learn with them."
"Thank you, Grandpa Xu!"
