All of them complimented me. "Hey, hey, hey, you guys. Of all the things you've learned, why do you have to flatter me? We're all brothers. Don't say such useless things." I pouted and pretended to be annoyed.
"Boss, look at what you're saying. We're speaking from the bottom of our hearts. We're not trying to flatter you. If you have time, you can go to school and ask. Right now, there's no one in Third High who doesn't respect you!"
"That's true. In the past, Fengliu Hall used to hold meetings secretly, but it's different now. Because we're spreading positive energy and fighting for the students of other schools, after some discussion, the leaders have allocated a classroom specifically for Fengliu Hall. When those hooligans see me, it's like they've seen the King of Heaven. They have to take a detour. They used to extort money from me. Even my girlfriend, who kicked me away, came to me again and wanted to make up with me. I didn't even bother to look at her. It's so f * cking satisfying," Four-eyed said excitedly.
Four-eyed looked excited. "Haha, you deserve all these achievements. You should always get what you put in. Right, for the development of Fengliu Hall, you've contributed a lot. Here, this is for you."
I picked up a bag and slid the zipper open, revealing a stack of new notes. It was a total of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan!
"Ah!" The three of them were bewildered. They hadn't expected me to do something like that.
"Ah, boss, what are you doing? Nowadays, there are so many students who want to join Fengliu Hall, not to mention elders like us. We're respected by everyone!
This honorable position was given to me by Boss. How could I take your money? "Octopus hurriedly shook his head.
Four-eyed chimed in, "That's right, Boss. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be dogs. The best decision I've made in my life is to follow you. I've learned a lot, I've gained a lot, and I've already been getting paid regularly. We were just thinking about not getting paid anymore. Now that you're giving us money, aren't you just making fun of us?"
Fatty also nodded. However, he didn't look too good. He seemed to be feeling uncomfortable.
"It's okay. You should know that this money is a piece of cake for me. But if you accept it, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment. Do you understand?
This is what you deserve, don't stand on ceremony with me! "
I shook my head and said solemnly. Previously, when I went to school, Lin Xiao Ya had reminded me that they had worked so hard, so they should have something in return. I definitely couldn't let the general die while the soldiers starved to death.
This amount of money was nothing to me, but they could do a lot of meaningful things with fifty thousand each. Just like me back then, my sister-in-law paid out of her own pocket so that I wouldn't be fired. Not only did she spend twenty thousand kuai, but she also owed a favor. At that time, I had a headache and didn't know where to raise the money.
Originally, they didn't intend to accept it, but I was very determined. "Take it. If you don't need to spend money, just give it to your parents. Save it in advance. You still need to get married in the future. You need to spend money in every aspect, right?"
Hearing what I said, they couldn't refuse, but the excitement on their faces was obvious.
"Come on, let's eat and drink, don't just chat."
I raised my glass. Four-eyed and Octopus also hurriedly nodded. On the contrary, Little Fatty's reaction was a bit slow, and his body was trembling.
"What's wrong, Little Fatty? Are you not feeling well?" I was a bit puzzled. The air conditioner was turned on twenty degrees, and it was facing the hot pot, so it shouldn't be cold.
"No, no, I just didn't sleep well last night, hehe." Little Fatty laughed honestly.
"You damn fatty, it feels great. You can play with a slutty girl like Lin Xiaoya for a year and not get tired of her. I wonder if you can handle it with that body of yours?" The four-eyed man teased him with a cheeky smile.
"Haha, it's a matter between a young couple, why do you care so much? Come on, drink some wine. Eat some kidney and mutton later to nourish yourself!" Octopus said in a bad mood.
"Okay, okay. Come on, let's drink. Boss, I'm really grateful to you. It's because of your tolerance and support that I'm where I am today. Otherwise, I would still be a damn fatty, and they would still bully me. But now, no matter where I go, they have to call me Brother Fatty."
Little Fatty supported himself on the table and stood up. A sincere smile appeared on his face, but as he spoke, two streams of tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Look at your useless face. It's not easy for us brothers to gather for a meal. Why are you crying?"
I patted his shoulder and added, "Don't forget that when I was in danger, Fengliu Hall almost fell apart. Only you guys didn't abandon me. You didn't forget what I said, right?!"
As soon as I mentioned that, they got excited. "Haha, how could I forget? Boss, you said that one day, you would take us to the peak of Cloud City. To be honest, I thought you were just bragging. I didn't expect Fengliu Hall to develop so quickly. In the future, with the help of Blood Wolf Hall, we can reach a higher level."
"Yeah, Boss, you've never lied to us!"
I revealed a heroic smile. "Don't worry. That day is near."
I wasn't acting cool. As long as I got rid of the Zhao family, Cloud City would completely change. The Zhao family's era would be gone forever, and I would be the one and only overlord of Cloud City. Just today, San Ye had contacted me. It was enough to show that the Zhao family's luck had come to an end.
It was just like those muddle-headed tyrants in ancient times. As long as they lost the people's support, they wouldn't be far from destruction!
"Come on, let's drink." I raised my glass.
"Wait, Boss. Shouldn't we eat something first?" Little Fatty said hastily.
"What do you mean eat? Let's drink first. You're a man. It's just beer. If you can't handle it, you can drink juice," Octopus teased.
"Okay, okay. I'll drink too." Little Fatty gritted his teeth, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.
Then, we raised our glasses and drank. "Once again, thank you for what you've done for Fengliu Hall. As your boss, I'm really proud of you!"
These were my words from the bottom of my heart. It was my fortune to be able to make such a good brother. It also made me understand that there would always be people silently supporting me from behind at any time.
Perhaps they were insignificant, but they had their own way of expressing themselves. I remembered that at the beginning, when He Yu, the troublemaker from the Northern Division, went to find trouble with me. Many people were just watching the fun and making sarcastic remarks. Only they were willing to fight alongside me. That was their recognition of me. Of course, I wouldn't let them down.
However, as soon as I finished speaking, Little Fatty suddenly knelt on the ground. His face was filled with guilt.
