Cosmic Demon

Chapter 20 The Big Boss, the One with the Last Name Qin (Thanks to Alliance Leader Pei Tugou)

On the oval main stage, a beautiful and graceful singer swayed her slender waist, and her sweet singing voice rose and fell, stirring the hearts of the audience.

The colorful light balls hanging above the head flashed quickly to the rhythm, reflecting dazzling light, setting off the whole atmosphere and making the place gradually lively.

In the private room on the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye when you open the door is the brown leather sofa that is close to the wall. It is wide and long, almost big enough for a person to lie down on it.

A young man in a white suit and black leather shoes sat in the middle, holding a sandalwood cane carved with a golden dragon head in his right hand.

He was tall, about 1.9 meters tall when he stood up. His strong muscles made his shirt bulge out tightly, and the distinct lines of his chest were vaguely visible.

"I've handed the Midnight Palace over to you, Aze. Business is indeed getting better and better. I attended a banquet in the metropolitan area a few days ago, and heard those business owners and company executives mention this place, praising you for being comfortable to work with and providing good service."

The young man was leaning on a cane, gently stroking a silver ring inlaid with a square gemstone. He exuded an overwhelming aura, like a coiled giant python, uttering a long letter.

"Thanks to you, Brother Hao. If it weren't for your face, no one would bother with a scoundrel like me from Old Factory Street."

Cheng Ze bent his waist slightly, lowered his head and said:
"It's all thanks to Brother Hao for giving me and my brothers a meal."

The young man seemed satisfied with this answer:
"It's no wonder that Dad admires you so much. You have conquered Beiguan Street in just a few years. I told Dad about the idea you mentioned last time. After discussing it with my eldest brother, he thought it was feasible.

The elites in the urban circle are tired of parties, car racing, and contraband, and they don't feel anything even when they see women taking off their clothes.

They need something more exciting. Fight club is a good idea. Hold it once a week and find some tough and fierce boxers to fight on stage. The bloodier the better. "

Cheng Ze hummed, stepped forward, and prepared to explain the plan in more detail, but was interrupted by the young man:

"I think the club's venue should not be in the Midnight Palace. There are too many people here and it's easy for trouble to happen. Ah Biao, come here!"

The young man waved his hand and called the tall man with a baby face at the door to come over.

"Aze, A Biao has been with you for many years. He is reliable and trustworthy. How about this? You just focus on watching the Midnight Palace from now on, and leave the Righteous Boxing Society and the club to A Biao."

The tall, baby-faced man first glanced at Cheng Ze next to him, then seemed a little overwhelmed, and stammered:

"Brother Hao, I can't do it. I don't have the ability. Let Brother Ze..."

The young man pointed at the tall, baby-faced man named "A Biao" with a cold look on his face:

"I said you can do it, and you can do it! Why, you only listen to Aze? You ignore my words? Or am I, Qin Lihao, so insignificant that I can't decide this matter?!"

A Biao was in a dilemma and trembled in fear, not daring to say a word.

The atmosphere was tense for a few seconds, Cheng Ze bent his waist even lower and forced a smile:

"Brother Hao is in charge of everything! Ah Biao, work hard and don't let Brother Hao down."

The baby-faced girl drooped her shoulders, her smile was uglier than crying, and she nodded sullenly.

Sandwiched between the eldest boss Ze and the eldest boss's eldest boss Hao, he was like a piece of pork belly pressed on a red-hot iron plate, sizzling and sweating.

"Aze, you have been following my dad since he started sailing. Just take good care of this place, use the dividends to support a woman, and then buy the right to reside in the urban circle and live comfortably."

The young man who called himself "Qin Lihao" patted Cheng Ze on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

He glanced at the main stage and said:
"The singer you invited is too old. The big bosses who come here to play like young singers who are youthful, energetic, obedient and sensible. Change them quickly!"

……

……

By nine o'clock, the midnight palace began to be filled with noise and bustle.

A well-dressed white-collar worker took his arm around a pretty girl and sat in a booth, whispering and chatting.

The atmosphere team called in by the marketing department to liven up the atmosphere were walking around the stage area. They were wearing low-cut dresses and hot shorts, showing off the seductiveness of their bodies and repeating the exciting drama of hunter and prey.

"It's just working, no matter whose money you earn, it's still earning!"

Qin Shi quickly took on a part-time job, serving fruit plates and drinks with swift hands and feet.

Manager Yu, who was watching nearby, nodded repeatedly:

"That brat Ayuan finally got a reliable classmate. He is no longer a clumsy, timid nerd.

But it's a pity for this new guy to be a waiter, he'd be more suitable to be a drinks salesman."

Manager Yu had a strange smile on his face. He was wearing an ordinary shirt, vest and work clothes, which fit Qin Shi perfectly as he was learning the old martial arts and had an increasingly tall figure, bringing out the best of his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.

The single ladies sitting alone at the bar had shining eyes and ordered drinks more frequently.

Although he was always pulled aside for conversation and entangled, Qin Shi did not delay his own work and easily resolved the situation with his best skill, smiling.

"A natural born golden cowherd!"

Manager Yu sighed.

Such a delicate, handsome and sunny young face appeared in the extravagant midnight palace, like a small white flower growing among the colorful flowers, very eye-catching.

The lonely young woman in the boudoir frequently cast her attention at him, and then whispered with her best friend.

Then, they went up one by one to ask for contact information.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yucheng gritted his teeth:

"This is the first time I've discovered that working in the Midnight Palace can give me such a good fortune!"

Li Yuan joked:
"I remember Brother Yu said that this is called 'Ka Yan Ju' in the urban circle. We are both senior high school students. Ah Shi is a thin 1.8-meter-tall male high school student in the sports school. You are just a passerby background board. You can't compare."

Xie Yucheng was indignant:
"On his first day as a part-time worker, Ah Shi already earned more tips than I did! My mom always told me that being good-looking doesn't make you a living! She lied to me!"

Li Yuan shrugged:

"Don't be envious. Midnight Palace has so many marketing campaigns, and they bring beautiful girls and handsome guys here every night to play. Haven't you heard them say that rich people play very perverted games, with steel wool and whips? Can you handle it?"

Xie Yucheng suddenly felt a chill down there. He had never practiced the Iron Crotch Skill, and he didn't want to experience the rich woman's pleasure ball.

"No! Tomorrow I want to get half of Ah Shi's nutritional paste again! I hope my brother lives a good life, but I don't want him to live so well!" While the two were talking and laughing, the door of the private room on the second floor slammed open.

Qin Lihao, wearing a white suit, walked in the middle. Ze Ge, who was worshipped as a god by the younger brothers in the Midnight Palace, bent over with his head down like a follower.

"Who is Brother Ze? The one wearing a suit?"

Qin Shi finally took a breath, got rid of the harassment of several young ladies, and went to a corner to do some fishing.

"The man in the suit is the son of the boss of Brother Ze. He is from the same family as you, and both of us have the surname Qin."

Xie Yucheng touched his chin:

"Everyone calls him 'Brother Hao'."

Quite impressive!

Qin Shi was thinking, if Brother Ze is "Chen Haonan", then this Brother Hao could be "Jiang Tiansheng", right?

Look at this arrogant attitude of looking down on people, why is it more like "Dongxing Yaoyang"?
"Who is Boss Ze?"

Qin Shi asked curiously.

Since ancient times, this kind of relatively dynamic community organization is usually not on the surface.

Behind them often stands a big boss who provides financial support or connections.

This is the so-called "big water pipe".

"I don't know. I've never heard Brother Ze mention it."

Li Yuan shook his head.

"Anyway, it's very powerful and has close ties with the Tai'an metropolitan area."

……

……

"Aze, no need to send me off."

Qin Lihao smoked a cigar and exhaled green smoke:
"A Biao is one of your brave generals. If I take him away, you won't be angry and complain to my father, right?"

Cheng Ze lowered his shoulders and said respectfully:
"Brother Hao, you are joking. Ah Biao and I both rely on the big boss for our livelihood. Without the big boss's support, scoundrels like us would either starve to death or be beaten to death."

The silver-gray stretched sedan stopped at the gate of the Midnight Palace. Qin Lihao shook his suit, held a thick cigar in his mouth, bent down and sat inside.

Not until the engine started did the extended model of the Veyron worth tens of millions of dollars sped away.

Cheng Ze, who was known as the "No. 1 in Beiguan Street", slowly straightened his back.

"Brother Ze..."

The trusted henchman wanted to open his mouth to say something.

"Brother Hao has his reasons for doing this."

Cheng Ze waved his hand:
"Don't get involved with the Righteous Boxing Club anymore. Brother Hao wants to start a club, and there won't be enough boxers. As for the Midnight Palace, we should stick to the old rules and recruit poor kids who dropped out of school, give them jobs, and teach them slowly."

The trusted henchman groaned:

"Brother Hao wants to monopolize the club's business, just say it clearly. Why are you stepping on Brother Ze's face like this?"

Cheng Ze glared at him, expressionless:

"Stop talking nonsense. When did the club become named Cheng? This place, including dozens of shops on Beiguan Street, are all named Qin.

Brother Hao wants to change people and blood, he has the final say. "

Walking up the stairs and stepping back into the Midnight Palace, Cheng Ze looked calm and composed. He continued to drink with a few big clients as usual, and then connect with the VIPs who came frequently.

At around half past ten, the first round of singing and dancing ended and a break took place.

After finishing his work, Li Yuan led Qin Shi to the front row booth where Cheng Ze was.

"Brother Ze, this is my classmate A Shi, looking for a summer job."

Cheng Ze narrowed his eyes:
"Ninth Middle School?"

"Ashi has good grades and was admitted to Xinyi Middle School."

Cheng Ze was a little surprised. It was extremely difficult for the children of workers in Jiuchang Street to study in a school in Tai'an metropolitan area based on their own abilities.

He waved his hand and called the manager:
"Okay, Ah Shi, right? Xiao Yu, get him a work badge."

After saying that, Cheng Ze took out his wallet from his chest, pulled out a few bills and handed them to Qin Shi.

"Study hard and work here, but don't let yourself be corrupted. If you can get into college, I'll give you a big red envelope."

Qin Shi stretched out his hands to take it, and made an excited expression like a good boy:
"Thank you, Ze-ge!"

Cheng Ze drank a lot tonight, his eyes were slightly blurry, and he asked casually:

"Ayuan, aren't you a student at No. 9 Middle School? Why do you say that Ashi is your classmate?"

Li Yuan answered truthfully:

"Ashi and I are taking Mr. Liang's cram school together. He has a very good physical talent and can learn all the training and fighting methods that Mr. Liang teaches!"

Teacher Liang...training and fighting methods...old martial arts!
Cheng Ze suddenly started and sat up straight from the sofa.

He stared straight at the weak and delicate Qin Shi.

"Are you Mr. Liang's apprentice?"
