Chapter 60: Please Invite He Min to Eat

Chen Mo didn't stay at home for very long.

Haste can't eat hot tofu.

He Min has already agreed to stay on as a tutor, so there will be plenty of opportunities later.

Back at the bar, Chen Mo immediately had Fei Ji call people for a meeting.

Soon, Gao Jin, Da Tou, Da Dou and others arrived at Chen Mo's office.

"Previously Chang Yi and Chang Le teamed up to attack our Nüren Jie; this time I'm striking back. At the very least we need to drive Chang Yi and Chang Le out of Wang Jiao."

"Mo Ge, this time I want to lead the charge!"

Da Dou sprang to his feet at the front.

He was first assigned by Chen Mo to oversee the gambling stalls on Nüren Jie, and now he's in charge of the gambling stalls on all three streets.

Although there are many stalls, their scale is tiny; they're just Mahjong halls.

This makes Da Dou the weakest among Chen Mo's men.

Moreover, after a few previous skirmishes with Hongle and his crew, Da Dou's performance was average, so his reputation among Chen Mo's subordinates is also mediocre.

Many of the subordinates don't really respect him.

Da Dou now needs achievements to secure his footing.

"Da Dou, have you thought this through? This isn't a joke!"

Chen Mo still holds some hope for the former Bolan Street second-in-command.

Although his skills are indeed average, in other aspects he's considerably stronger than Da Tou.

He's just mixed into the Triad Society, can't fight, and the rest is useless.

"Mo Ge, I can definitely do it."

Da Dou nodded heavily, his gaze firm.

"Alright, tonight you take three hundred men to plant a flag in Dianqi Jie. Fei Ji, you go with Da Dou."

Since Da Dou made such a request, Chen Mo couldn't refuse.

Pairing Fei Ji with Da Dou will nicely compensate for Da Dou's lack of high-end combat power.

"Got it, Mo Ge!" Fei Ji nodded excitedly.

"Mo Ge, assign us a mission too!"

Tian Yang Sheng also stepped forward to volunteer.

The brothers have just joined Chen Mo's side and most need to earn merit and establish authority.

They are confident they're not weaker than anyone under Chen Mo, except Gao Jin.

These past few days Tian Yang Sheng has also secretly sparred with Gao Jin; the two are evenly matched.

So several of Tian Yang Sheng's brothers still hold a bit more respect for Gao Jin.

Chen Mo looked at Tian Yang Sheng and his men, thought for a moment: "You all hold off for now. These days you're still not ready to act."

The cash‑truck robbery case just passed, so it's better for Tian Yang Sheng's group not to draw too much attention now.

"Da Tou, tonight take two hundred men to plant a flag on Mi Dun Dao. A Sheng, you and your brothers will back Da Tou. A Jin, you take men to guard our territory and be ready to support at any time."

Mi Dun Dao is Chang Le's territory, and there aren't many of Chang Le's men there.

However, Chang Le has many men on Ci Yun Shan, so to prevent the other side from sending aid, it's more reassuring to have Tian Yang Sheng's group hold the line.

Chen Mo now has over seven hundred men; sending five hundred to fight over two streets leaves him comfortably abundant.

With Gao Jin and Tian Yang Sheng's brothers also holding the line, there's basically no doubt.

Chen Mo didn't even wait for nightfall and went home early.

After all, today was He Min's first time at his house; no matter what he said, he had to give her a proper reception.

Seeing Chen Mo return so early today, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di both secretly rolled their eyes at him.

"We don't usually see you come back this early; and you say it's just a private tutor?"

"Gang Sheng, Qiu Di, I'm heading back first."

"Prepare the books in advance, and next time I come we'll start the tutoring properly."

He Min, seeing Chen Mo back, prepared to stand and say goodbye.

A day has already made He Min's relationship with Gang Sheng and Qiu Di very harmonious.

They are close in age, not a true teacher‑student relationship, so there's no barrier; after getting familiar, friendship formed quickly.

From the moment Chen Mo stepped in, He Min felt an indescribable shift in the atmosphere.

Chen Mo smiled at He Min: "Teacher He, don't rush to leave; it's already mealtime, let's have a meal together before you go!"

He Min hurriedly declined: "Mr. Chen, no need to be courteous. I'll just go home to eat; I won't disturb you."

"No disturbance; actually I have something to discuss with Teacher He. Please don't decline."

"Besides, it's already the evening rush hour; you'll be stuck in traffic on the way back."

"Yeah, A Min, let's eat together. After the meal, Mo Ge will arrange for someone to escort you back," Gang Sheng also tried to persuade, but casually rolled his eyes at Chen Mo again.

He Min finally stopped refusing, a hint of embarrassment on her face: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."

It's too late to cook now, so Chen Mo called a nearby restaurant and booked a private room, and also phoned Gao Jin, asking him to tell Tian Yang En to come over.

The four arrived at the restaurant quickly.

Inside the private room, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di sat on either side of He Min, leaving Chen Mo excluded by the three women.

Not long after the four sat down, Tian Yang En also arrived.

"Mo Ge, you called for me?"

Though Tian Yang En says he doesn't work under Chen Mo, his attitude toward Chen Mo is the same as the brothers', treating Chen Mo as the boss.

Chen Mo pointed to the seat beside him: "A En, come sit."

"This is Ah En, my brother's sister."

"Ah En, these are your two sisters-in-law, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di. The one in the middle is a teacher at Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue, Teacher He."

It was Tian Yang En's first time meeting Gang Sheng and Qiu Di, so Chen Mo first introduced them to each other.

As for Ah En, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di didn't have much of a reaction.

Mainly because Tian Yang En still looked quite young, and though she appeared delicate and pretty, her looks weren't especially high—not Chen Mo's type.

"Teacher He, I wonder if I could trouble you to help Ah En get into Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue to study?"

Currently, Chen Mo only knew He Min as a middle school teacher, so he couldn't avoid troubling her even if he wanted to.

Hearing Chen Mo's request, He Min frowned slightly and asked, "Which middle school is Ah En attending now? How are her grades?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Ah En used to live in the countryside and hasn't been in school for many years. As for her current grades, I really don't know much."

He Min shook her head: "That's troublesome. Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue has very strict admission requirements, and they're very strict about a student's previous academic record and grades."

"How about this—another day, Teacher He can test Ah En's grades to see her level.

If Ah En's grades aren't good enough to get into Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue, then please, Teacher He, take the trouble to help contact other schools."

He Min thought it over and nodded: "That works. I have a few classmates teaching at other middle schools, so I can help reach out."

Chen Mo tugged at Tian Yang En beside him: "Ah En, hurry and thank Teacher He."

"Thank you, Teacher He!" Tian Yang En stood up reluctantly and bowed to He Min.

She'd be willing to take a gun and kill someone, but making her go to school was truly miserable for her.

Too bad—her six brothers had unanimously decided, so it didn't matter whether she agreed or not.
