Since I was busy cultivating, I didn't appear in the WeChat group. Fatty couldn't help but contact me. First, he wanted to ask about me and Liu Jie. Second, he wanted to treat me to a meal. Last time, I had given him a sum of money to solve his urgent problem. Recently, Fatty and the others had used Leader Feng's authority to revive the Fengliu Hall's prestige. They often received requests for help. For example, some hooligans had stolen their girlfriend, or they had been bullied and wanted to take revenge. Most of the requests were from students from other schools.
After all, there weren't many small groups like the Fengliu Hall that could unite against outsiders and not be afraid of those hooligans. In middle schools, there were many fights. Some students were unfamiliar with the place and could only swallow their anger when they were beaten. As the Fengliu Hall's reputation spread, this problem was solved. I had told them not to do things that would damage their image. Helping others fight for justice and receiving a proper reward was completely acceptable.
The members of the Fengliu Hall were chivalrous and had done things that they hadn't dared to think about before. They had realized their self-worth. Even some gangs that didn't have eyes had to retreat after learning about the Blood Wolf Hall's name.
In just half a month, the Fengliu Hall had become a small, leading gang in several middle schools in Cloud City. There was even a saying among the students, "If you have any trouble, look for the Fengliu Hall. As long as it wasn't an evil thing, we would definitely help you solve it beautifully."
I was really glad to know that. After all, there were many hooligans in Cloud City. There were often rumors that students in some schools were being bullied. It was hard for the school to deal with such things. If they used some verbal warnings, it wouldn't work. If they called the police, it was possible that the hooligans would come back after they were released.
A small gang like the Fengliu Hall that served students had never existed before. So, when they became famous, there were all kinds of 'requests' for help. After the elders screened them, they decided which ones were within a reasonable range and whether to accept them or not.
"You've worked hard, Fatty."
I was glad that he could turn over a new leaf. If he had been like my cousin, sinking deeper and deeper into the mire, it would have been difficult for him to turn over a new leaf.
Even if I could pay back the money for him, I couldn't change his values and mentality. In the past, I didn't understand why my cousin would look so tired every time he came home. It wasn't because he was exhausted from work, but because he was thinking about how to rob Peter to pay Paul back every day, to win back what he lost.
His monthly salary was only a few thousand, but when he gambled, he could earn more than ten thousand. The pleasure of winning money had eroded his brain. Moreover, his physical defects had made him lose control. He didn't just lose money, but he also lost his young heart.
That's why China's crackdown on prostitution, gambling, and drugs is reasonable. Like Leader Feng's nightclub, he does not openly welcome customers. Only those who are familiar with him can enjoy the 'real' services. If not, some small reporters will investigate the nightclub, and it will be easy for them to get into trouble.
Moreover, once the higher-ups suppressed him, it would be a big problem for him to operate normally. That was also the reason why Boss Feng wanted to clear his name. Only by doing business openly could he have a clear conscience. "Oh, no need to thank me.
"Aiya, there's no need to thank me. Boss, I'm happy from the bottom of my heart to work for you. If it wasn't for you reminding me in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. If you have time, let's go out for a meal and a drink or two. We haven't seen you in a long time. We brothers miss you.
"Okay, let's go tonight. It's your treat!"
I was also in a good mood. I didn't expect that Fatty and the others would run the Fengliu Hall so smoothly while I wasn't here. I felt a little embarrassed because I was just a boss who didn't do anything.
"Haha, that's for sure."
Fatty was happy to see me agree. He knew that I was a busy person, and it wasn't easy for me to find time to have a meal with the brothers of the Fengliu Hall.
Just like that, I spent the afternoon with my sister-in-law and Liu Jie. Originally, I wanted to take them with me, but they didn't want to go. It was because Liu Jie wanted to jump off a building. Even if Fatty and the others didn't tease her, they still had to show concern and ask about her. It was a little embarrassing. Since my sister-in-law had a special relationship with me, she didn't want Liu Jie to stay home alone. Coincidentally, they had been watching the same romantic drama recently. They ate snacks and watched the drama at the same time.
After knowing their concerns, I didn't force them. Since lunch was going to be late, I could just bring some back. I changed my clothes and went to the bank to withdraw some money. Then, I hurried to the address that Fatty had sent me.
This was a high-class hotpot restaurant. The decoration style was also very stylish. Now that the weather was gradually getting colder, eating hotpot was a good choice. Other than Fatty, Octopus and Four-Eyed were also there. They had arrived early and had chosen a small private room.
After seeing me, the three of them couldn't help but stand up. Their faces were full of respect as they said in unison, "Hello, Boss!"
"Ahem, no need to be so polite. We're brothers." I was a little embarrassed and waved my hand.
In front of outsiders, in order to show off, I might put on some airs, but in front of my classmates, I was still very easygoing, because I didn't want to grow further and further away from them, that would go against my original intentions.
People like me had come into contact with society in advance and seen the dark side of people's hearts. Only then did I realize that the friendship in school was very precious. It was the starting point of a dream.
It was because of my longing and unremitting efforts that the Fengliu Hall of today had come into being. Looking at the familiar faces of Fatty and the others, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Come, sit." I laughed.
Seeing that I was still easygoing, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. There was a pile of fresh ingredients next to me. They were all well-balanced and nutritious.
"Come, Boss. Let's have a drink."
Fatty stood up and poured me a glass of beer. I wasn't in a hurry to drink it. After all, the ingredients needed to be cooked for a while.
"Boss, to be honest, I really admire you. You're only eighteen years old, but you've already reached such a height. If you were a normal student, your ego would have soared to the sky!"
"Yeah, hehe. We have good eyes. Back then, we knew that Boss would have a bright future. Along the way, no matter how big the storm was, it couldn't crush Boss. There's only one word to describe it: awesome!"
