20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3803 What is Jianghu?
Despite the fact that they were supposed to be drinking beer, and considering how cold it was and how few girls were there, the group didn't actually drink cold beer. Instead, they ordered a hot beer from the food stall owner, made with Jin Xing beer, red dates, goji berries, oranges, ginger slices, and rock sugar. It was said to be aphrodisiac and nourishing for men, and a beauty-enhancing and warming drink for women.

The owner clearly added high-proof liquor to this beer to maintain the alcohol concentration in the evaporating beer. It tastes sweet and sour and is delicious, but it's easy to get drunk on it.

The owner hung a small blackboard in a conspicuous place with the words, "Attention: 9-degree high-proof beer, it tastes good but gets you drunk easily!" This kind of well-intentioned reminder can sometimes serve as a warning to some naive young girls.

However, Zou Xiaojun revealed the boss's past, saying that a girl had suffered the same loss before and made a big fuss here, even beating the boss up badly. In the end, the boss paid tens of thousands of yuan in private to settle the matter.

"You think he's a good guy? A few years ago, a woman got drunk at his place and someone took advantage of her. You think that was the only one? If you see one rat in the house, there's definitely a whole nest of rats in there. It's just that this time he kicked a hornet's nest and broke his own leg."

Zou Xiaojun took a big gulp of beer, smacked his lips, and said angrily, "It's not wrong for him to make warm beer, but adding liquor to it is malicious. He was definitely too lenient. If I ever get fed up with this place again, I'll report him for illegally brewing liquor and fine him until he's bankrupt so he'll never dare to do that again!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was joking, but Zhao Chang'an knew he was serious because the guy had reported a taxi driver for overcharging on a snowy day, resulting in the driver's operating license being revoked.

Everyone continued drinking and chatting, having a lively time.

After drinking a glass of Zhao Chang'an's New Year's blessing wine, Shen Youli went to get a bottle of mineral water.

Jin Feiyue's female secretary also drank one cup and then stopped, but she drank hot water from a thermos.

The men didn't say anything about it; they disdained to urge or force women to drink.

On the contrary, Zhao Chang'an, Jin Feiyue, and Zou Xiaojun have encountered many women over the years who deliberately got them drunk, hoping to give them a chance to take advantage of them.

After having barbecue skewers at a roadside stall, it was only 11 p.m., and the group, slightly tipsy, headed to the studio.

Zhao Chang'an, Wen Ye, Zou Xiaojun, Yu Chaofei, Fan Chao, and Jin Feiyue, six grown men, squeezed into Zheng Chi's dilapidated second-hand van, giving up the two cars that Shen Youli and Jin Feiyue had brought to the ladies.

"Old Zheng, you didn't even put a rubber seal on this car. It leaks air everywhere and rattles all the time. I'm afraid it will fall apart if I drive it any faster."

Yu Chaofei sat on a small stool by the car door. After drinking a hot beer, the cold wind blowing in through the car doors and windows made him shiver heavily. He couldn't help but complain, "I feel like the car is shaking right now."

"Idiot, it's not the car that's shaking, it's you who's shivering from the cold. Serves you right for trying to look cool in that wool coat!"

Zou Xiaojun, annoyed that Yu Chaofei was squeezing closer to him for warmth, said with a look of disdain, "Are you thin? What are you doing, always squeezing me? Move to the outside. You wouldn't even sit in the car, now you're behaving yourself, aren't you?"

Yu Chaofei, looking aggrieved, could only lean against the car door, feeling the cold wind blowing directly into his clothes, and even his woolen coat, pressed against the car door, felt icy cold.

Especially since he had drunk quite a bit of hot beer that evening, the chill now seeped into him, making him feel an unbearable cold.

When assigning the three cars, Jin Feiyue brought a Porsche, a mid-range model worth a million. This car was his father Jin Guangren's vehicle, just like the three glamorous and beautiful female secretaries in the president's office, which he inherited. Since he had only recently taken office and his father was still in prison, he felt embarrassed to buy luxury cars in a ostentatious manner, so he could only use this car as his primary mode of transportation for the time being.

Shen Youli drives a red imported Audi A4. This model was only officially launched globally last November. The high-end configuration in China costs about 400,000 yuan. In fact, even if you pay an extra 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, you might not be able to buy it.

Zhao Chang'an noticed that Shen Youli was deliberately keeping her distance from Zou Xiaojun. He guessed that Zou Xiaojun certainly didn't have that much money to buy her a car, and besides, the connection she had to buy the car wasn't through Zou Xiaojun's connections.

Some women complain that they can't meet rich men or wealthy husbands, but that's because they're not pretty enough. A woman like Shen Youli, who works in Zhengzhou and is an artist in a dance troupe, would find it incredibly easy to meet rich men. She wouldn't even need to make an effort to meet them; people like Zou Xiaojun would just come running to her.

Fan Chao was the first to get into Zheng Chi's beat-up van and took the passenger seat. Zhao Chang'an and Wen Ye followed suit. Jin Feiyue, who was going to talk to Zhao Chang'an about OneNanometer's investment in Yinlong, also got in.

At this point, there were two men and six women, making a total of eight people who could fit in two cars.

As a result, Zou Xiaojun also squeezed in. Yu Chaofei, who had already gotten into Shen Youli's car, also got out of the car and squeezed in despite Zou Xiaojun's advice. Zheng Chi, who had a toolbox in the back seat, sat on a small stool when there was no room.

This is actually the most realistic version of the martial arts world.

Even those who are wealthy in remote mountains have distant relatives.

Before the Lunar New Year, Zhao Chang'an and Jin Feiyue had already roughly agreed on the plan for One Nano to hold shares in Yinlong. However, at that time, the shares were still in Jin Guangren's hands, so no matter how much they discussed it, it was just a preliminary discussion.

Afterwards, a prisoner's dilemma-like game of wits arose between the father and son. If Jin Guangren did not give his shares and all his assets to his wife Ni Lihong as compensation for his marital misconduct, Jin Feiyue would not dare to let anyone take the initiative to testify that Jin Guangren was innocent and release him.

Jin Feiyue didn't try to get his father, Jin Guangren, out of trouble. Jin Guangren was afraid that Jin Feiyue would turn his back on him and abandon him after his wife got the assets and shares.

Of course, this is just Jin Guangren's opinion. In Jin Feiyue's view, it is more likely that his father is playing tricks. If he were to foolishly bail him out, he might change his attitude as soon as he steps out the door, turning his back on his father and abandoning him after crossing the river.

Jin Feiyue had no choice but to ask his father's sworn brothers for help, asking them to act as guarantors.

He even made a special trip to the mountain city to pay his respects to Feng Jianfei as a junior, only to be scolded mercilessly by Feng Jianfei, who berated him and said he had never seen such an ungrateful ingrate son.

However, he reluctantly agreed to try to persuade Jin Feiyue's father, Jin Guangren.

The matter was almost settled. Jin Guangren was willing to give Ni Lihong all of his shares in Yinlong Group and Zhongyuan Lianchi, as well as the villa they used to live in and some shops. He only asked Jin Feiyue to give him 30 million yuan for retirement and the high-end duplex apartment that he had secretly bought for Jian Shuangmei.

Even now, during Yinlong's difficult period due to negative events, Jin Guangren's non-tradable shares in Yinlong can still be converted into 500 to 600 million yuan. Zhongyuan Lianchi could have cashed out about 150 million yuan at the peak of Luyuan's stock price, and now 100 million yuan should not be a problem.

With assets exceeding 600 million, Jin Guangren should theoretically own half of them, so it's reasonable that he only wants 30 million.
