Chapter 2785
From Du Xiaochan's answer, Zhao Desan had already realized the truth. It seemed Zheng Jie had told this little beauty that he had come to the Provincial Party School for training. He couldn't help but grumble about Zheng Jie in his heart, while grinning cheekily at Du Xiaochan.
"My mom told me to bring you something good to eat," Du Xiaochan said, her expression softening.
Zhao Desan said with a grin: "Auntie Wang is the only one who cares about me."
Zhao Desan took off his coat, washed his hands, took out the things Du Xiaochan had brought, and sat on the sofa. While eating, he asked Du Xiaochan: "Xiao Chan, tell me, why do girls—pretty girls—treat men like enemies?"
"Very disgusted?" Du Xiaochan tilted her head and asked Zhao Desan.
Zhao Desan nodded quickly and said: "Exactly."
Du Xiaochan went back to watching TV. Seeing that Du Xiaochan had nothing more to say, Zhao Desan asked: "Why is that?"
"How would I know?" Du Xiaochan turned her head and asked him with a smile: "She wouldn't be very intimate with women, would she?"
Zhao Desan nodded very seriously. Du Xiaochan said with a hint of sympathy: "Then you can ask her if she's a 'bender' or a 'straightener'?"
Zhao Desan didn't understand what Du Xiaochan was talking about and asked: "What do these 'bender' and 'straightener' mean?"
Du Xiaochan said impatiently: "Just ask her, why are you so troublesome? Don't disturb me watching TV."
Zhao Desan cursed Du Xiaochan fiercely in his heart. While eating the things she had brought, he glared at Du Xiaochan, who was watching TV, thinking about how to get rid of her. His current goal was the elder sister Yang Liu. As long as he could conquer this elder sister Yang Liu, who worked as a secretary in the Provincial Government, it would definitely be beneficial for him in the future. If Yang Liu saw him hiding a beauty in his temporary dormitory at the Party School, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to conquer her later.
Just as Zhao Desan was wondering how to get Du Xiaochan to leave, his phone on the table started vibrating "Buzz, buzz, buzz..." He had specifically set the ringtone to meeting mode when he attended the Party School's opening ceremony that morning.
Picking up the phone, he saw the name Han Wu displayed. Zhao Desan was confused and thought: Why is this kid calling me? While thinking, he asked Du Xiaochan to turn down the TV volume, answered the phone, and said: "Hello! Han Wu, what's up?"
"Brother Liu, Sister Tong asked me to tell you that the bar is officially opening tonight. Do you have time to come over?" Black Dog got straight to the point.
Zhao Desan was a bit angry. Since the bar was opening and they wanted to invite him over, why didn't Tong Lan call him herself? Could it be that now that she was going to be a boss, she looked down on him? Thinking this, Zhao Desan sneered and said: "The bar is opening, and Sister Tong didn't even call me, but asked you to notify me instead?"
Han Wu explained: "No, Sister Tong is too busy to get away right now. Many things in the bar aren't ready yet, and she's overseeing them. Knowing you're busy with work, Brother Liu, she specifically asked me to notify you."
Zhao Desan realized he had misunderstood. He relaxed and said: "Alright then, I'll come over tonight."
After chatting with Han Wu for a few sentences, Zhao Desan walked out of the room and made an excuse that he had to go out for a social engagement. He told Du Xiaochan to go back early after finishing her TV show, specifically telling her that the Party School would be checking dormitories tonight and the rules were very strict; no women were allowed to linger in the men's dormitories.
Seeing that Zhao Desan was afraid she would stay the night, Du Xiaochan rolled her eyes at him and said: "Pfft! I'm leaving in a bit. I wouldn't stay alone with you, a man and a woman, anyway."
Zhao Desan picked up his coat and said with a grin: "If you want to stay with me, why don't we go get a room outside tonight?"
Seeing Zhao Desan's lecherous look, Du Xiaochan pouted, grabbed a book from the table, and threw it at him: "Pervert!"
Zhao Desan quickly lowered his head, dodged Du Xiaochan's attack, and walked out of the small suite laughing.
Zhao Desan didn't know about Jin Qianbao's calculated schemes, and that this old man would also send people to show support when Tong Lan's bar opened tonight. After a period of preparation, the bar had been named "Night Paris." Although the scale of the storefront itself wasn't small, it was still a bit smaller compared to Jin Qianbao's 'One Plus One,' so Tong Lan was determined to put effort into the 'soft power'—the quality of the booth hostesses. Moreover, Tong Lan had the capital for it.
Therefore, the shop name was quite ambiguous. As for the second-largest shareholder, Jin Lulu, she was purely playing around; she didn't understand these things and never cared. Whatever Tong Lan wanted to do, as long as it didn't affect the future development of the shop, she didn't care at all. Her participation was at most using her special status to hold down the fort.
The scale of Tong Lan's 'Night Paris' wasn't very large, but it had attracted widespread attention in the circle before it even opened! The reason for this mainly came from two aspects—on one hand, Tong Lan had a great reputation in this circle, and being able to break away from Jin Qianbao's subordinates to set up her own shop naturally attracted great attention from the industry. So much so that without Tong Lan having to call, many popular bar hostesses took the initiative, or secretly, called her to ask if she was still hiring. Tong Lan's reputation was excellent, and the girls were happy to follow her. Even several popular hostesses at 'One Plus One' bar privately wanted to jump ship to Tong Lan's side, but they didn't dare because of Jin Qianbao's lewd power.
On the other hand, it came from a greeting from Jin Qianbao!
Jin Qianbao notified other big thugs of the gangs in Xijing that the business of his subordinate traitor, Tong Lan, was about to open. Small businesses weren't easy, so everyone should look after her a bit. Moreover, when notifying them, he slightly revealed a sense of hatred towards Tong Lan, aiming to hint to these guys that he and this woman, Tong Lan, were irreconcilable. This made everyone feel that Jin Qianbao's notification was actually borrowing their hands to cause trouble.
In short, Jin Qianbao's performance was very appropriate and completely unpretentious. How could those who had always been played in the palm of his hand see through the methods of an old fox? Let alone those big thugs, even Tong Lan didn't realize this was just the beginning of a conspiracy.
However, there was no wall without cracks in the world. After all, Tong Lan was also a woman who had been in the circle for many years. These rumors naturally reached her ears. After hearing this news, she smiled indifferently and said: "Does this old fox, Jin Qianbao, really not intend to let me go?"
Han Wu, who had been recruited by Tong Lan to hold down the fort, heard Tong Lan say this and said with a disdainful smile: "Sister Tong, don't worry. With us brothers here, whoever dares to come and cause trouble, we'll knock them down one by one!"
The God of War, Black Dog, rubbed his fists and said with an itchy feeling: "Hehe, let them bring it on. My hands have been a bit itchy lately."
Tong Lan said: "Regardless, this Jin Qianbao is giving us face. Since he has good intentions, let's not say anything unpleasant behind his back. Moreover, after he spoke, they will definitely send people to show support tonight. As long as they aren't too excessive, let's try not to cause trouble. After all, we are opening today, and we can't smash our own signboard."
When Zhao Desan drove to the bar, the bar had already started business. Sure enough, business was booming. Before long, the entire bar was packed. Under the blurry and flashing colorful lights, countless heads were moving, dancing wildly to the dynamic dance music.
Tong Lan sat down with Zhao Desan and chatted for a while before going off to greet guests. Zhao Desan was a bit bored, so he found the wild little beauty to chat and kill time.
Sure enough, just as Zheng Ru and Tong Lan had expected, two hours after the bar opened, a group of thugs swarmed into the bar noisily. Han Wu, who was watching the venue for Tong Lan, received a report from the security guards at the door via walkie-talkie and immediately gathered a group of brothers to rush over. At the entrance of the bar, Han Wu led more than twenty people and blocked these thugs there. Han Wu recognized the guy leading this group; he was Jin Qianbao's personal thug from the night they went to beat up Jin Qianbao. He had a resounding nickname—Wild Wolf. This guy was a big guy with a fierce look, more ruthless and better at fighting than ordinary small thugs, but compared to Black Dog, he was far behind. Moreover, the two sides were evenly matched in numbers, so Han Wu and his men weren't afraid at all.
