Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 84: What you want in life

Li Lianhua stepped on the last ray of the setting sun and returned to the Lotus Tower with two jars of wine.

Seeing Huang Haitao in civilian clothes in front of the building, Li Lianhua was slightly surprised, then smiled and said:

"There are guests."

Li Lianpeng stepped forward, took the two jars of wine from his hand, and urged: "Go and wash up quickly, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"what."

Li Lianhua groaned and slowly washed her hands.

After washing his hands, he took the handkerchief Li Lianpeng handed him and carefully wiped his two slender palms clean before Li Lianhua slowly sat down at the dining table.

"Brother Li, how did you gain today?"

After sitting down, Li Lianhua picked up her chopsticks and bowl and asked with a smile.

Li Lianpeng picked up a chopstick dish, ate it in one bite, and said:
"Don't mention it. I lost a total of 200 taels in the gambling house today. I feel so sad."

There was still a lot of resentment in his tone.

Li Lianhua was stunned when she heard this, her tone was high, and she said in disbelief: "Lost 200 taels?"

He looked at Li Lianpeng with complicated eyes, "Brother Li, are you crazy? Why are you going to a place like a gambling house?"

He spent a lot of time today and only made 220 taels.

Just when he was about to come back and show off in front of Li Lianpeng, unexpectedly, the other party lost 200 taels in the bet.

This in and out means no profit today!
He has regarded Li Lianpeng as one of his own in his heart...

The main reason is that when his brother has no money to spend, he will find other ways to ask for it from himself.

If he doesn't make more money, and still sticks to his original habit of not making more money after earning 50 taels, I'm afraid they will both end up begging on the streets.

"Miss Su, why don't you persuade him to order some? That gambling house...can't go there."

Li Lianhua smiled bitterly and shook her head, feeling that the sumptuous dinner in front of her suddenly no longer tasted good.

Before Su Xiaoyong could speak, Li Lianpeng waved his hand first.
"I can't blame Xiao Yong for this. It's because I made my own decision and insisted on experiencing it, which resulted in such losses. Tonight's meal is my apology to you two."

"..."

Huang Haitao felt a little baffled and confused while listening to the conversation between the two.

They lost 200 taels in a bet, they couldn't go to gambling houses, they even made dinner as an apology, these three people... were so strange!

Also, this Mr. Su is not a young man, but a girl?
"Today we went to see the remaining businesses of Fenghuo Hall. Except for the two fireworks places, we went to all the remaining ones."

Su Xiaoyong glanced at Huang Haitao, who was immersed in eating rice, and said crisply:
"This Fenghuo Hall has done all kinds of bad things, but its business is pretty good. Whether it's a restaurant, a pawn shop, or a gambling house, there's an endless stream of customers. It should have left a good reputation. There has never been any bullying. A guest scene.”

"If we take over, we won't need to make a big fanfare of replacements. The original shopkeepers and staff can still be used."

"That's it." Li Lianhua nodded, and then asked softly:
"Have you thought about how to take over? Since the Hall Master is the person in charge of all this behind the scenes, he must have his own unique methods. If you don't handle it properly, those people may not be willing to hand over the business easily. ah."

Since Li Lianhua, together with Xiao Zijin and several young men, single-handedly founded a large gang like Sigumen that was famous in the martial arts world, he naturally had unique organizational skills.

If a martial arts sect wants to gain a firm foothold in the martial arts world, it requires not only strong force to intimidate, but also the corresponding ability to handle other chores.

After all, in the final analysis, everyone is in the world not just to make a living.

To act chivalrously, punish rape and eliminate evil, and uphold the right path, you must have money. Otherwise, what can you expect a group of hungry martial arts masters to accomplish?

Food, clothing, housing and transportation must not be left behind, and the treatment is better than that of ordinary Jianghu sects.

After Li Lianhua finished speaking, Li Lianpeng pointed to Huang Haitao, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Haitao will help us smoothly acquire all these ownerless businesses, right?"

Seeing Li Lianpeng mentioning him, Huang Haitao quickly straightened his back and nodded, "Yes, boss, don't worry, my subordinates will do their best to pocket these businesses and prevent other gangs who are worried about it from succeeding!"

Li Lianpeng raised her hand, patted his shoulder, and said carelessly: "I am very optimistic about you. If you need anything these days, just tell me. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you these days, you can come to me. "

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's eat."

……

Li Lianpeng safely handed over all matters related to these businesses under the name of Fenghuotang to Huang Haitao to handle and supervise them on his behalf.

There was no fear that he would get the benefit and run away, because Li Lianpeng caught his weak spot.

In life, everyone wants something.

Huang Haitao, who came from a good family background, wanted nothing more than advanced martial arts and a respected status.

Li Lianpeng allowed him to see the elegance of martial arts warriors on the top of the mountain, and how to control objects with true energy.

This alone is enough.

In addition, Li Lianpeng asked Wang Fugui to find out that Huang Haitao's family was also engaged in business, and his Huang family was considered a prominent family in Yangzhou City.

As for why he left a good young man from a rich family and went to Fenghuo Hall to become a gang henchman, let’s mention the deacon of Fenghuo Hall who was seriously injured by Li Lianpeng’s slap, Huang Youyou, a scar-faced man Speaking of.

This Huang Youyou was ignorant since he was a child. He relied on his family's remaining wealth to do a lot of bad things like bullying men and dominating women in the early years. Later, he offended the wrong people. In order to calm down the public anger, the Huang family expelled him. Home door.

Without the help of the big tree in the Huang family, Huang You's early life was quite unsatisfactory. Those enemies who had been bullied by him came to him one after another, looking for trouble everywhere.

In the huge city of Yangzhou, there was almost no place for him to stay. He became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted for him to be beaten.

The ferocious scar on his face was the result of a fierce fight with others at that time.

Later, Fenghuo Hall happened to expand its power and recruit gang disciples, and he happened to have a similar affinity with Feng Bujue. The two hit it off and got together.

From the original street rat, he transformed into the notorious good deacon Huang of Fenghuo Hall.

Huang Youyou once again lived a happy life of showing off his power.

Then he met Li Lianpeng, the Dragon Crossing the River, and unreasonably slapped him and the Fenghuo Hall that had just been founded less than two years behind him into the dust.

Huang Haitao, the nephew who was deceived by Huang Youyou to increase his presence in the gang and spare no effort to make money for Fenghuo Tang, was also in bad luck.

Not long after gaining the trust and attention of the hall master, the entire Fenghuo Hall disappeared.

After those Feng Bujue companies succeeded, they used strong methods to seize and annex all the profitable industries such as restaurants, pawnshops, brothels, gambling houses, etc., and all of them became ownerless properties.

Fortunately, Huang Haitao was not in deep trouble, and there were no lives under his hands. He was focused on the trivial matters of managing Feng Huotang's business for Feng Bujue.

Otherwise, what will greet him will be the same as those disciples who participated in kidnapping, seeking alliances, challenging moral ethics, exterminating families and other evil things. Their meridians will be destroyed and they will be imprisoned.

"Young Master Huang is here. I'm a little disappointed. Please forgive me and atone for my sins!"

In Rujia Restaurant, Huang Haitao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, had just stepped into the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant, an old man with a rich face, greeted him with a smile.

Huang Haitao said with a cold face: "How have you considered what I said last night?"

When the old man in brocade clothes heard this, his face froze, and soon became gloomy. His face changed like turning over a book, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Young Master Huang is joking. The Fenghuo Hall has fallen down and the gang has ceased to exist. Naturally, I have no reason to let things go!"

"Ha ha."
