Zhao De turned around, saw Shanzhu rushing in from outside, and questioned him with a horizontal frown: "Isn't this perfectly fine? Where was it smashed?"

"Big brother, not here, it's next door, I'll take you to see…" Shanzhu said and was about to turn around and walk outside.

"Wait, what did you say?" Zhao De shouted at Shanzhu, looking at him with a confused head. He was really confused by this guy.

Shanzhu said: "Next door, the shop next door was smashed… I'll take you to see…"

Zhao De was even more puzzled, frowned and asked: "What does the shop next door being smashed have to do with us? I say, is your brain missing a wire? The shop next door was smashed and you called me to make me rush over, delaying my serious business, do you know that?" Thinking that he was originally going to handle serious business, and being messed up by this guy, delaying the serious business, Zhao De felt extremely unhappy in his heart, stared at Shanzhu fiercely, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing Zhao De staring at him with an angry face, Shanzhu hurriedly explained with gestures: "Big brother, listen to me, next door… the shop next door is also opened by Sister Zheng, just opened… you follow me to see first, I'll tell you slowly later…"

Zhao De looked at Shanzhu for a moment, followed him out of the building materials store, came to a very small shop next door, and saw that it was a mess inside, looking like it had been smashed. He asked Shanzhu with a puzzled face: "Shanzhu, what the hell is going on?"

Seeing Zhao De's confused look, Shanzhu began to tell Zhao De the whole story in his unique local Mandarin.

It turned out that Shanzhu had a friend from his hometown in the countryside who he had played with since childhood, called Heiwa. This Heiwa originally made a living by farming in the countryside. Some time ago, he didn't know where he got the news that Shanzhu was doing very well in the city, so he ran to the city to find Shanzhu, wanting to rely on him. Because this Heiwa had no other survival skills besides being a good hand at farming, and insisted on not leaving at Shanzhu's place, in desperation, Shanzhu told Zheng Jie about this situation, hoping that Zheng Jie could take in his little brother and let Heiwa work with him in his store. But because the business in Zheng Jie's building materials store had been sluggish this year, and adding one more person, paying wages was a problem, she could only reject Shanzhu's idea.

Just when Heiwa was at a dead end, the lease of the small shop next to Zheng Jie's building materials store expired. The original owner of the tea shop didn't intend to renew the lease. After the shop became vacant, one day the landlord came to clean up the shop and chatted with Shanzhu, instigating Shanzhu to help him find someone to rent out the shop, and fooled Shanzhu that if he opened a mahjong hall in this location, the business would definitely be booming. The honest Shanzhu was fooled around by this shrewd landlord, so he found Heiwa and asked him if he was willing to open a shop and be the boss. This Heiwa was of course willing, so he took out all his savings, but it was not enough for the investment of opening a mahjong hall. In desperation, Shanzhu found Zheng Jie again and talked about Heiwa's idea of opening a mahjong hall, hoping that Zheng Jie could invest and be the major shareholder, and the two shops were close to each other, so the business was easy to take care of. Zheng Jie, a woman with a softer heart, saw Heiwa's pitiful look, so she hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, tightened her belt, saved some money from daily expenses and invested it, letting Heiwa open this mahjong hall, while she became the major shareholder.

Just like this, Shanzhu and the others didn't even hold an opening ceremony for their mahjong hall, and it was considered barely opened. However, doing business in this area was not as easy as Shanzhu and the others imagined. On the first day of business, something happened.

Don't say, that landlord originally fooled Shanzhu into finding someone to rent his shop. Unexpectedly, after the mahjong hall was opened, this kind of trade really filled a huge gap here. Everyone was doing building materials business, and they liked to sit together and chat when they had no business on weekdays. They set up a service entertainment project there, and on the first day of opening, it was crowded with people, and the business was booming.

But just less than two hours after opening, a group of uninvited guests came. Shanzhu and several country bumpkins from the countryside who came to support the opening were celebrating the success of the opening in the backyard, leaving only Heiwa to take care of the front. Just when Shanzhu and the others were drinking enthusiastically, Heiwa ran in, panting, with a face full of scars.

"Heiwa, what's wrong with you?" It was Heiwa's cousin who first saw Heiwa's miserable state.

"Big… big brother, there… there are a few people coming to smash the place." Heiwa said with a crying voice while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What?" Shanzhu was furious when he heard this, stood up, and walked to the front.

When Shanzhu arrived at the front shop, the customers inside had already left completely. The originally booming business suddenly became extremely deserted and had a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.

Shanzhu looked up and saw several people sitting around the table at the door. One of the people sitting on the table was particularly obvious. Zhao De weighed it in his heart, this person must be the leader who came to make trouble.

"Brother, let's talk things over, why hit people as soon as you come up?" Shanzhu said while walking toward the square table at the door.

The man sitting on the table raised his head, lifted his eyelids to look at Shanzhu, and said disdainfully: "That's because he doesn't know how to talk, he deserves to be hit."

Shanzhu saw that the visitor was not kind, so he stopped, stood less than a meter away from the square table, and looked carefully at the man sitting on the square table. He saw that his pair of triangular eyes were very obvious, and the whole person sat lazily on the square table as if falling apart. That disdainful look seemed to not take Shanzhu and the others in his eyes at all.

"What the hell do you want?" Shanzhu was a person who couldn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"I don't want anything…" The man with triangular eyes looked at Shanzhu unhurriedly and then continued: "But brother, you didn't even inquire before daring to open a mahjong hall here, did you?"
