Chapter 15: Toppling Wang Li

"As long as we take Nanjie, I can let you replace Zhang Longtao's position. What do you think!"

Seeing that I didn't speak, Huang Laohu continued to say to me.

"That's not necessary. I know how much I'm worth. If I can take that position in the future, I will definitely not live up to Brother Huang's expectations. But if I don't have that ability, then putting me up there is useless. I know this much. Besides, it's still too early for Brother Huang to say these things!" My heart was pounding at this moment, and I didn't have that kind of extreme confidence. After all, this kind of thing was indeed relatively far away for me. I hadn't even figured out how to survive in the last few years, and I wanted to pull Zhang Longtao down? This was no ordinary difficulty.

"It's okay, I believe in you. You're very good. You weren't blinded by benefits. You're very rational, smart, and have courage. I can help you arrange the school matter first. After all, the school matter isn't a difficult thing!" Huang Laohu looked at me with approval.

"This isn't necessary for now. I haven't helped with anything yet, so how can I let Brother Huang help me first? If I can help Brother Huang a little bit later, it won't be too late to ask Brother Huang for help. Anyway, there's no rush!" I said respectfully to Huang Laohu.

Huang Laohu nodded and didn't insist, holding his wine glass: "Alright then, I wish us success!"

After speaking, I hurriedly picked up my wine glass, clinked it with Huang Laohu's, and drank it in one gulp.

Huang Laohu laughed, walked over, patted my shoulder, and said: "Little Brother Yang Yun, how about this: you first see if you can replace Wang Li's position. If you can replace Wang Li's position, then we will plan our next steps!"

I nodded, understanding that Huang Laohu was testing me to see my ability. Because Wang Li and I could indeed only have one of us exist. After all, for this kind of inside-and-outside cooperation, having more people wasn't useful; as long as there was a trusted person who could gain Zhang Longtao's trust, that was enough. If I won, Wang Li would naturally be useless. If Wang Li won, Huang Laohu wouldn't lose anything, after all, he hadn't invested anything in me.

"By the way, Brother Huang, there's one thing I want to ask. Was it Wang Li's idea for you to go to Lihuang that day?" But when I asked this question, I cursed myself for being an idiot and hurriedly changed my words: "Sorry, Brother Huang, I was being an idiot. How could Wang Li command you!"

"You're right, Wang Li can't command me. However, the incident that day did have something to do with Wang Li. Originally, he was looking for Hua Zi, the bald guy who brought you here just now. But I found out about this matter, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I wanted to see what tricks Wang Li was playing, so I went over. Now it seems he wanted to test your bottom line, but clearly, he didn't find it, so later he boldly moved against you!"

Hearing Huang Laohu's explanation, I finally understood the situation at the time. No wonder Wang Li seemed to be wary of something at the time. After Huang Laohu came, this guy started to take revenge on me.

I thanked Huang Laohu a few times and then left.

After coming out of the bar, I was just about to go back when a figure suddenly blocked me. This person was none other than the bald guy. I saw the bald guy and frowned slightly: "What? Are you here for revenge?"

"Brother Yun, you're killing me, how would I dare!" The bald guy's face was scared, and he hurriedly explained.

"Then what are you here for?" I looked at the bald guy in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Brother Yun, I'm here to join you!" The bald guy looked at me full of expectation.

"Join me? This joke isn't funny!" I frowned, feeling that this guy was teasing me.

"Brother Yun, I'm telling the truth. You know Sister Ling and Brother Huang, so hanging out with you definitely won't be wrong. Besides, I've already broken the rules at the Heipi Bar, and the Heipi Bar can't accommodate me anymore. Hanging out with Brother Yun definitely won't be wrong!"

I looked at the bald guy's expression; it didn't look like he was lying. But I wasn't sure if this guy was arranged by Huang Laohu to be by my side. However, thinking about it, he was always a helper, at least having one more person meant one more source of strength.

"Are you sure about following me? I'm not like Brother Huang and Zhang Longtao and the others right now. I'm not even as good as a small fry!"

"Sure, following you definitely won't be wrong. Brother Yun, you saved this hand of mine, just consider it me coming to repay the favor!"

I nodded. I originally wanted to go back, but I stayed here for a while longer to chat with the bald guy. Only then did I know the bald guy's name was Wang Hua, and everyone called him Hua Zi. He worked at the Heipi Bar, but now he was no longer considered part of the Heipi Bar. After chatting for a while, I went back.

After I went back, I thought about it and sent a text message to Su Xueyan, telling her I wasn't leaving and would still be at the Lihuang KTV for now.

Nothing happened for the next few days. I went to work at the KTV as usual. I planned to arrange for Wang Hua to be at the KTV, so I told Sister Ling about this. Sister Ling agreed without saying a word. However, Wang Li was clearly very shocked by Wang Hua's arrival. When he first came, he was talking to Wang Hua about something, but it was naturally behind our backs.

Wang Hua later told me that he was just asking why he came here, and Wang Hua simply brushed it off. However, as for whether what Wang Hua told me was true or false, I reckon only Wang Hua knew.

This day, Su Xueyan asked me out to play. It just so happened that we both had time, and since there was nothing going on, I agreed. This could be considered my first formal date with Su Xueyan.

Su Xueyan and I went shopping, but we didn't buy anything. Mainly, I hadn't been paid yet, and Su Xueyan was very frugal.

However, just as we were walking happily on the side of the street, a black shadow suddenly flashed past us. I didn't pay attention at first, but when I looked over, I found that the other person was holding a bag and running away quickly. I looked down at Su Xueyan and then shouted: "Damn, a bag snatcher!"

Su Xueyan also reacted, and both of us shouted: "Catch the thief, don't run!"

But no one stepped forward to help. That guy's speed was very fast; one look and you could tell it wasn't his first time. I desperately rushed over like a madman and grabbed the person's shoulder. However, when I saw his face, I was stunned, and the other person was also stunned, excitedly shouting: "Number Four!"

"Number Three, long time no see!" I hugged him, my expression complex, my body trembling.

The bag snatcher was my brother from the orphanage when I was a child. When we were young, the seven of us swore an oath of brotherhood like the three in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I was ranked fourth, and the person in front of me was named Xu Hongzhi, ranked third.

"You stinking thief, stinking thief!" Su Xueyan grabbed the bag and patted Xu Hongzhi on the head.

However, seeing our appearance at this moment, she was clearly stunned, looking at me strangely: "Yang Yun, you actually like to be gay?"
