Chapter 2647
But things sometimes happen to be so coincidental. The more one worries about something, the more it happens. Just as she finished drinking a glass of wine with a VIP in the bar and stood up, another male manager in charge of security walked up and patted Tong Lan on her fragrant shoulder.
"Manager Li, what's wrong?" Tong Lan, who was about to walk to another table of customers, turned her head and asked him with a smile.
"Manager Tong, Brother Jin wants to talk to you." The male manager said, handing his phone to Tong Lan.
Tong Lan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took the phone and said gently, "Hello, Brother Jin." As she spoke, she walked toward the bar office behind the T-stage.
"A-Lan, how is business today?" As soon as he opened his mouth, the 'Money Leopard' first asked about the business situation in the bar.
Tong Lan closed the office door while answering with a smile, "It's the same as usual."
"Oh... is there anyone making trouble?" The Money Leopard asked again.
"No..." Tong Lan answered his words, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as Tong Lan expected, after the Money Leopard habitually asked these two questions, he cut to the chase and asked, "A-Lan, did those little brothers of Ma Laosi come to the bar to work tonight?"
"This... Brother Jin, he... they said they had to help a buddy in the game hall temporarily, so they... they couldn't come..." Tong Lan said stammeringly, and her heart began to feel uneasy.
"What?" Hearing such an answer, the 'Money Leopard' immediately raised his voice, almost shouting, "What's going on? A-Lan, didn't you say they had all agreed? Why aren't they coming again!"
Tong Lan replied uneasily, "I don't know... I don't know why they suddenly changed their minds. I... I even specifically told Zhao Desan to let them come over tonight, but... but it didn't work..."
"How did this happen!" The Money Leopard gritted his teeth on the phone. In his view, if these guys couldn't submit to him, under Ma Laosi's training, they would sooner or later pose a threat to his status as the boss of the underground world in Xijing City. This was a situation he was extremely unwilling to see.
"Brother Jin... I... I tried my best..." Tong Lan said, shirking responsibility for herself. She knew the temper of this old scoundrel and was afraid that he would cause trouble for her again.
The 'Money Leopard' breathed heavily on the phone, softened his tone, and said coldly, "A-Lan, come to the teahouse."
"Brother Jin, then... then what about the bar?" Tong Lan was afraid that this old thing calling her over was to hold her accountable, so she hurriedly found an excuse to say.
"Isn't there Manager Li?" The 'Money Leopard' said coldly, "You put down what you're doing and come over now. Brother Jin has something else here..."
Although Tong Lan didn't want to go at all, at this time the 'Money Leopard' must be in a fit of anger. If she said anything more, she was afraid it would further enrage him. Helplessly, Tong Lan could only agree.
She put Manager Li's phone on the desk, walked to the sofa against the wall, picked up her trench coat, walked out of the office, walked around the bar, found Manager Li to explain, and then walked out of the bar alone, put on her trench coat, and got into a taxi at the entrance of the bar to go to the Money Leopard's teahouse.
Perhaps because Tong Lan's appearance was too extraordinary and her figure was too hot, even this taxi driver in his thirties with a rat-like face couldn't help but look at her a few more times. He stared at Tong Lan's fair and smooth calves, couldn't bear the itch in his heart, and found a topic to say with a smile, "Beauty, you are so beautiful."
Tong Lan smiled faintly and said politely, "Thank you."
Seeing that this beauty actually talked to him, the lecherous taxi driver couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Beauty, why do you come and go to the bar alone? Leave me your phone number. Next time you want to go to the bar, I'll accompany you, how about that?"
Encountering another lecher, Tong Lan smiled helplessly, thinking how there were so many guys who saw women and their eyes lit up, and they didn't even look at their own appearance in a puddle of urine! She gave a contemptuous smile and ignored this guy's words at all.
Seeing Tong Lan's cold and arrogant appearance, the lecherous driver became even more energetic. He turned his head and looked at Tong Lan, who had a cold face, with a wicked smile, and said with a smile, "Little sister, why aren't you talking?"
"Are you looking for a beating?" The endless harassment of this lecherous driver completely angered Tong Lan, who was already uneasy. She turned her head to glare at him and said coldly.
"Yo! Little sister has quite a temper, but you look beautiful when you're angry. Brother likes it, haha..." This driver was really ignorant. Seeing that Tong Lan looked so beautiful even when she was angry, he actually laughed disdainfully.
"Do you want me to give you Brother Jin's phone number too?" Tong Lan asked, looking coldly at the taxi driver who was triumphant after teasing her.
Brother Jin? The boss of the underground world in Xijing City, 'Money Leopard?' As a taxi driver who picked up passengers at the entrance of the bar all year round, he naturally knew that the boss behind the 'One Plus One' bar was the famous 'Money Leopard.' Thinking again that this beauty also walked out of the bar alone just now, could it be that she knew 'Money Leopard?' If she were really one of Money Leopard's people, how would a small taxi driver like him dare to offend her? Wouldn't that be like lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking for death! Thinking this way, this guy couldn't help but shiver, secretly glanced at Tong Lan, who had a dark face, and slipped away without saying a word.
Arriving at the teahouse and standing in front of the 'Money Leopard's' private room door, Tong Lan's heart, which was already a bit uneasy, accelerated even more. She felt very insecure. What was the purpose of 'Money Leopard' calling her here tonight?
Just as Tong Lan was standing at the door of the private room, feeling uneasy and pondering, the teahouse beauty manager Shangguan Wan'er walked over with a set of purple clay tea sets in her hands. That was the set of tea sets that 'Money Leopard' usually used. Shangguan Wan'er had just done a maintenance for it. It seemed that she understood that 'Money Leopard' calling Tong Lan over tonight was to hold her accountable. Shangguan Wan'er sneered and said frivolously, "Why don't you go in? Brother Jin is waiting for you inside... Please..." As she spoke, she freed a hand to open the private room door.
