Chapter 820

~8 min read 1,480 words

In a private room of a large restaurant, Master Wu hosted a banquet for Zhang Cheng and the others.

Raising his wine glass, Master Wu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother, I was blind and didn't recognize the true talent. Any offenses in the past, Brother, let's just not mention them. I'm not a person who holds grudges. Let's get along well from now on, okay?"

Looking at the Master Wu before him, Zhang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you planning to take me on as a protégé?"

"No, let's get rich together! I can see that you're a good fighter, Brother, but in this world, being a good fighter isn't enough—you need connections, right!"

Holding his wine glass, Master Wu came to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "I'm a good judge of character. You're no pushover! You've had blood on your hands..."

"So that's why you didn't say anything?"

Looking at Master Wu beside him, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"I'm still young, I won't be reckless with you. Besides, you can play with knives but didn't use them, so I knew you were after money, not my life!"

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Master Wu smiled and said, "I have a fleet of trucks. If you like, I'll give it to you. Let's cooperate and get rich together from now on—just don't mess with me!"

Looking at Master Wu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and say, "You trust me that much?"

"We're out here running the streets, it's not like we have a life-or-death grudge, why would I fight you? Right, Brother!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Master Wu laughed, but his twitching mouth was hurting terribly.

Hearing Master Wu say this, Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "I'll introduce you to a business. Go and borrow from everyone around you who's like you, get the principal up to three million, and I'll take you to make a fortune!"

Looking at the Master Wu before him, Zhang Cheng laughed.

"You aren't planning to get into the drug business, are you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Master Wu was so scared he put his hand down and said seriously, "Brother, let me tell you, although I'm not a good person, I absolutely don't touch that. If you're like that, then consider what I said before as unsaid—from now on, we'll go our separate ways."

"What are you thinking? I'm asking you to invest in currency with me!"

Looking at Master Wu with disdain, Zhang Cheng almost killed him with a single punch.

After all, isn't that what only a lunatic would do? He didn't even play with that abroad, and now he's running to the capital to mess with it? Isn't that like dancing in front of the King of Hell, waiting for the green uniforms to come and perform the Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon?

"You should have said so earlier, you scared me to death!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in fear, Master Wu was also sweating profusely from fright.

Because anyone who dared to touch that in the Far East never died well!

Every predecessor has their own sacrificial romance—can you guess what Lin Zexu's was?

"Brother, tell me, if I do this, will something go wrong?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Master Wu asked with some fear.

Because if he went and borrowed from all his peers, wouldn't that make him a "beacon"?

"Do you have someone behind you?"

Looking at Master Wu curiously, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Yes, my brother-in-law! But he thinks I'm quite a mess!"

Looking at the Zhang Cheng before him, Master Wu also awkwardly revealed a smile.

"Then don't be afraid. I'll help you hold down the fort on street matters!"

Patting Master Wu on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng leaned into his ear and said, "Think about it: something worth less than a cent, the return on investment in three years is three thousand times—how much can you earn?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Master Wu's eyes turned scarlet and he said, "What currency are you talking about?"

"Virtual currency, but three years is enough for it!"

Looking at Master Wu, Zhang Cheng gave his solemn guarantee!

"What if it doesn't rise?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Master Wu gradually sobered up.

"This is foreign currency, not domestic!"

Patting Master Wu on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "There's a saying on Wall Street: the rise or fall of a single point is more important than a person's life..."

Understanding the meaning behind Zhang Cheng's words, Master Wu couldn't help but gasp.

Because he had originally thought the other party was a ruthless person, but he hadn't expected him to be a fierce one!

A few days later, in front of a construction site.

Zhang Cheng chatted familiarly with the foreman of the fleet, because he was now responsible for all the earthwork at the construction site nearby!

Speaking of earthwork, you have to admit one thing: it's a simple, super-profitable industry.

After all, you just find trucks to haul dirt and send it to the construction site, and you can make money!

But at the same time, it's also a dangerous industry, because anyone involved in earthwork is someone walking on the gray edge!

If you have no strength and can't suppress the people below you, or your peers, you won't be able to make money!

Master Wu let Zhang Cheng be responsible for the fleet precisely because he could see that Zhang Cheng was definitely a ruthless person!

After handling the cargo transport for the day, Zhang Cheng sat on a rocking chair and hummed a little tune, but just then, the sound of a motorcycle rang out.

Looking at Liu Beishan coming over with a bruised and swollen face, Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

"I got beaten up on the road. Brother Cheng, do you have any money on you? I..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Liu Beishan seemed hesitant to speak.

Picking up the crossbody bag at his side, Zhang Cheng took out a stack of money and said, "Don't wander around aimlessly tomorrow. Like Hearing Dakang, come to the construction site and do some work—you can't go on like this!"

"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng respectfully, Liu Beishan thanked him.

Looking at Liu Beishan, Zhang Cheng gave him a backhanded knock on the head and said, "You don't learn anything good all day, fighting with those little punks. Out here on the streets, it's about influence, it's about background, you know?"

"I know, Brother Cheng!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Liu Beishan smiled.

And just after Liu Beishan left, Zhang Cheng's phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Zhang Cheng, it's me, Gao Sha Qiang. Can... can you help me introduce a job?"

Asking Zhang Cheng, Gao Sha Qiang was currently standing on the roof, looking into the distance, as if he had lost all hope.

Hearing Gao Sha Qiang's words, Zhang Cheng said, "Come to my construction site? I happen to be short a driver!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Gao Sha Qiang couldn't help but choke up.

"Get down, it's windy on the roof!"

Listening to Gao Sha Qiang's words, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Mm!"

Hanging up the phone, Gao Sha Qiang only then reacted: how did Zhang Cheng know he was on the roof?

"It's just not having a graduation certificate, not a terminal illness—what are you doing all day?"

Continuing to hum his little tune, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but gaze at the starry sky and say, "People, only when they're alive do they know how comfortable a bathhouse really is!"

Earthwork people, earthwork life, earthwork foot baths—no need for words!

Raising a hand isn't a refusal, but that there's no need for more words!

Two days later, at a gathering, Master Wu specifically called Zhang Cheng over just to hold down the fort.

After all, without him there, Master Wu was really worried about being surrounded and beaten!

"Brother Cheng, you're here!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng appear, Hearing Dakang hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Hearing Dakang, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Isn't it because you told Master Wu to borrow money? He's borrowed from everyone around now, but doesn't want to pay it back, so isn't he looking for people to come and have tea?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Hearing Dakang explained the cause and effect.

Hearing his words, Zhang Cheng immediately laughed and said, "Is that so? Then I know!"

But just after Zhang Cheng appeared, he saw Hua Zi standing in the crowd and was dumbfounded—wasn't this his little neighbor?

"A-Cheng, you're here?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Master Wu's nervous heart also settled down, because he had just boasted that no one present could fight!
