My Nightclub Landlady

"Don"t speak so badly, Brother Jun. As a brother, I have an obligation to share your worries. Since we have a verbal contract, I ask you to abide by the agreement. Don"t hesitate when you should do something. You may not be able to get things done with the few unaccomplished wastrels under you, so I just thought I"d help. You don"t have to thank me; it"s my job," said Qin Feng.

"Do you know how much trouble this will bring me?"

Zhao Jun was completely flabbergasted; he might do anything. He wanted to stick a few knives in him to vent his anger.

However, Zhao Jun clearly knew that having Ji Dongchen beaten in his name was already a fait accompli. He had a motive and Ji Jiangshan absolutely believed it was him. Therefore, any attempt to explain things would only make him angrier.

Zhao Jun had no other choice - he could only fight against Ji Jiangshan.

And this is exactly what Qin Feng wanted.

Only by diverting attention away from Sister Flower could he free his hands to help Zhao Jun get through the strife.

Of course, Qin Feng would not come out to fight himself. He was just testing Zhao Jun"s strength. If he was really too outdated, then there would be no need to invest in him.

"How serious can this be? Being irreconcilable with Ji Jiangshan? So what? Are you scared?" Qin Feng smiled, and said, "I"ve told you everything. Jia Quan has been taken care of and has promised not to side with Ji Jiangshan. You can solve your dispute by yourselves. Those whose bones are the hardest will be able to laugh to the end. There is nothing else. You just need to persist."

"I am furious with you!"

Zhao Jun was helpless. He knew Qin Feng"s strength; breaking away from him now was no good. If he kept this guy, he could still help him in a key moment. Even if he wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson, he could not do anything about it.

He had to face the difficult situation in front of him. There was now no chance of stopping things from escalating.

"Well, stop whining. If you want to talk to me about how to deal with Ji Jiangshan"s counterattack, I"m in a good mood. If there"s nothing else, I"ll be going."

Qin Feng rose lazily, stretching his arms, "Hey, I"m a little tired; I"ll go get a foot ma.s.sage."

"Let"s go, let"s go," Zhao Jun followed him. "The ma.s.sage place next door is pretty good."

"Whatever," Qin Feng responded and went out.

!!!

Inside the beautifully decorated foot ma.s.sage parlor, Qin Feng and Zhao Jun lay on their ma.s.sage chairs. Two Yunnan ladies brought water to wash their feet, put their feet in a bucket and soaked them, and then went around to the back of the ma.s.sage chair for a head ma.s.sage.

Zhao Jun was unlike his normally randy self. He didn"t even reach out to pat the ma.s.sage girl"s b.u.t.tocks, and only talked with Qin Feng.

"Do you really have the confidence to make Ji Jiangshan lose face?"

Zhao Jun couldn"t believe it. "Do you know how much money that old guy has? What kind of guys he has working for him? The people on my side these days aren"t too amazing. Those who followed me in the early years were really vigorous and loyal to me. When I ordered them to go out to fight, they never gave any excuses. If I did not ask them to stop, no one would stop. But, after all, they are in their forties now. They have wives and children. Some went to prison for 7 or 8 years and they were just released not long ago. Now they are running some small operation in my territory and give me a regular cut every year. Their life is good, but also cautious. No one wants to spend the rest of their life in prison. If I really want to fight, I have to count on those brothers. But can I summon them again? If they fight for me, someone will inevitably end up in prison. It"s not easy for them to go all the way now. n.o.body wants trouble. I don"t want any, either. The other brothers do shoddy work and I simply can"t trust them. If something serious happens, they would just run away. So, I am now in the middle of a difficult time. The older generation has lost its edge, while the young have not yet come out of training. Sending them out to fight will be tantamount to serving them up to my enemies on a silver platter. My past glory is enough to intimidate ordinary people, but if you really force me to fight, to be honest, I have no guts at all. Actually, I"m barely holding up too, you know? Outsiders consider me as if I am still very beautiful and still have my strength, but I"m not so eye-catching as I once was. However, I know in my heart what I can or cannot do. To tell you the truth, I am no match for Ji Jiangshan."

Zhao Jun was not afraid to let Qin Feng look down upon him. This was no joking matter. A little carelessness could cost them both their lives.

"I didn"t expect an artificial man like you to tell me the truth. In the past, Sister Flower has always told me how strong you are, how famous you are in the Fengyang District. In fact, I went to a few bars where the good and the bad mix together to find out the facts. The people who go there are somewhat familiar with the goings on in the area. You are no match for Ji Jiangshan, but it is also to your advantage," Qin Feng said.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jun asked doubtfully.

"There are a lot of things you need to worry about, but what about him? He has even more."

Qin Feng laughed, "You have no children, but he does. Your businesses are off the books, while his are legally registered. Your wealth is all from net income, while he borrows billions of Yuan from the banks. If you declare bankruptcy, the government will welcome it, but if he declares bankruptcy, not only will the government disagree, but thousands of workers will raise h.e.l.l over it. So, no matter from which angle you look at it, you are more resistant than he is. The worse things go, the better. He needs to worry more about social influence and corporate branding. Before long, he will have to ask his brother, Jia Quan, for help. He will try to attack you through official channels, but Jia Quan has already been subdued, so this seemingly difficult battle is actually slanted in your favor from the get go. You"re definitely the winner."

Hearing Qin Feng"s explanation, Zhao Jun looked at him a little incredulously. He opened and closed his lips for a long time. "You… How do you know so much? Who on earth are you? How could you be a simple waiter?"

"I am me, and no one else. I told you, I like Sister Flower; I just want to protect her. Ji Dongchen"s beef with Sister Flower is my fault, but since you"re the boss, I can"t be the one showing up to fight the Ji family. The opportunity to show off is given to you. Haven"t you always wanted to put Meng Zhaolin in his place and retake the position of the biggest underground boss in the Fengyang District? This is your best chance," Qin Feng said.
