"Alright, Lao Yu, you don't have to be so formal every time. I'm not your boss."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand at the burly men in front of him, showing no sign of being an employer.
"Young Master Zhou, you flatter us. We brothers owe our current success to your help; otherwise, we don't know where we'd be struggling."
The leader of the construction team, a man named Yu Dongshan, answered earnestly, his eyes filled with gratitude for Zhou Zheng, not flattery.
Their engineering team was composed of veterans, including many retired special forces soldiers. Among them, Yu Dongshan was the most skilled, having been a champion in the military region's combat competition.
After they were discharged from the military, they went out to work and make a living, but it was very difficult at first.
Because they spend a long time in the military and are out of touch with society, coupled with their lack of skills, they can only do jobs such as security guards or construction workers.
Fortunately, Yu Dongshan ran into Zhou Zheng by chance when he was working as a security guard at a hotel. Zhou Zheng was not the arrogant and domineering rich second generation. He was very easy-going and chatted with Yu Dongshan casually while waiting for someone.
During a casual chat, Zhou Zheng learned about his situation and suggested that he could learn a skill at one of the Zhou family's decoration companies.
At that time, housing prices across the country began to rise gradually, and the demand for home renovation began to surge. This market was indeed an opportunity, and Yu Dongshan readily agreed.
In less than two years, Yu Dongshan learned the skills, started his own engineering team, and Zhou Zheng often introduced business to them. In just a few years, most of them had bought houses, cars, married and had children.
It can be said that Zhou was a great benefactor to this group of men.
This time, Zhou Zheng took the initiative to contact Yu Dongshan to say that he needed renovations. Without saying a word, they stopped their current projects and rushed over.
"Alright, stop being so polite. Come on, we have a milk tea shop that needs your help with renovations. The project is in a tight schedule and needs to be completed within five days, so I'm more comfortable with having you here."
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou, we'll work day and night for five days to ensure we deliver the job on time and to the required quality."
Zhou Zheng nodded. This construction team is now quite well-known in Hangzhou, thanks to their efficiency and reputation.
"Okay, you guys take the measurements first. I'll go buy some drinks. The main event hasn't arrived yet, so please wait a bit."
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he walked out. At Yu Dongshan's command, everyone immediately got to work.
While they were busy, in a teahouse on the second floor of the commercial street, Liu Feng was drinking tea with a middle-aged man who had a tiger tattooed on his arm.
"Brother Tiger, I'm leaving this to you. Make sure that shop is completely destroyed beyond repair."
"Don't worry, Young Master Liu, it's a small matter. My brothers under Wang Hu will take care of it for you in no time. Otherwise, how can our Tiger Gang brothers survive in this area?"
Liu Feng personally poured Wang Hu a cup of tea and nodded with a smile.
"Brother Tiger, this deal is done. I'll give each of the brothers a 10,000 yuan red envelope to go have tea. Brother Tiger, your red envelope will definitely be ten times bigger than this."
The Tiger Gang was a gang that his father secretly supported, and they usually did things that the Liu family couldn't do.
Although the Tiger Gang was at most a third-rate gang in Hangzhou, dealing with a college student from an ordinary family was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Alright, brothers, follow me."
Wang Hu stood up, and a dozen or so thuggish-looking young men in the teahouse immediately stood up as well.
"Yes, Brother Tiger!" Wang Hu led a group of men and marched downstairs with great momentum.
Liu Feng got up, ready to go outside to watch the show, when Tang Xiwei also came out from a corner of the teahouse.
She had taken a day off specifically to watch Chen Luo cry.
"Honey, watch closely. When the shop is smashed to pieces and Chen Luo rushes over, I wonder how desperate he'll look."
Liu Feng reached out to put his arm around Tang Xiwei's waist, but Tang Xiwei stepped to the side to avoid his hand.
"Look, Wang Hu is about to lead his men in."
...
Downstairs at the milk tea shop, Wang Hu ripped down the sign that said it was under renovation, then pushed open the door and rushed inside.
"Where is Chen Luo? Get the hell out here!"
A group of people rushed in after Wang Hu. Wang Hu roared, and everyone in the shop stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them.
"Um, boss, something doesn't seem right," the young man behind Wang Hu whispered in his ear.
Not only did he feel something was wrong, but Wang Hu also felt something was wrong.
A group of burly men in denim overalls walked towards them, each exuding a fierce aura. Yu Dongshan, who was in the lead, looked coldly at Wang Hu.
"The person you are looking for is not here. Please leave immediately and do not interfere with our renovation work."
Wang Hu was initially intimidated by the men's imposing manner, but upon hearing that they were actually construction workers, he immediately became arrogant again.
What's there to be afraid of, a bunch of construction workers doing manual labor? I'm a gangster!
"I'm going to smash this shop today! You stinking decorators get the hell out of here, or don't blame me for beating you all up too! Come on! Smash it!"
Wang Hu shouted, and the group of thugs raised their sticks to start smashing things.
"Turns out it's a bunch of scum. Brothers, we've got a job. Record it and remember to keep evidence."
"Okay!"
One of them took out his phone to record a video, while the other dozen or so people rubbed their hands together and walked towards the group of thugs.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The shop was filled with clanging and banging sounds, accompanied by screams of agony.
Upon hearing the noise, Liu Feng and Tang Xiwei exchanged a glance and revealed their delighted expressions.
"Hahaha! Wang Hu and his men have made their move. Judging by the commotion, they've put in a lot of effort."
"Yes, it seems that the shop is definitely in a terrible state and can't do any business at all."
"Chen Luo, come quick! Come see the state of your shop! I'm really looking forward to seeing you cry!"
Just as the two were about to have someone notify Chen Luo, the shop door was suddenly opened.
"Click!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A dozen or so dark figures rushed out of the shop—or rather, were thrown out—and slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Ah!" Wang Hu, the leader, was the last to be thrown out, landing face down on the ground. He got up and howled in pain!
Ouch! My nose is broken!
"Are you really construction workers? You're the gangsters!"
Yu Dongshan led his men out and looked at them coldly: "If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break both your legs!"
Seeing Wang Hu's miserable state, Liu Feng and Tang Xiwei's minds went blank at the same time!
What?! How could Wang Hu, the notorious gangster boss who terrorized the Hangzhou area, have been beaten so badly?!
What's going on? Are all construction workers this brave these days? Daring to beat up gangsters in the street?
After being stunned for about two minutes, Tang Xiwei came to her senses.
"Liu Feng! Call the police immediately and have your friends at the police station charge them with gang-related affray! That way, Chen Luo's shop will be ruined before it even opens! Let's see how he'll open for business then!"
