Age of Legends

Chapter 73 Thanks
On the way home with Wang Shuowei, Zhang Chen asked, "Why is Zhao Tao setting up a stall?" He was still confused as to why this famous underworld boss was selling pig's feet. He wanted to find some clues.

Wang Shuowei said, "Don't mention it. Brother Zhao graduated from university and his family asked him to sell insurance. At that time, he was dressed in Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang clothes. You don't know. I almost laughed to death when I saw him. He was dressed in a suit and tie. Is this my Brother Zhao? As expected, he is not the kind of person who can get others to sign contracts. You asked my Brother Zhao to sell insurance for you. Isn't this funny? Just imagine it."

Zhang Chen thought about it and found it indeed a bit funny.

"Then he quit. His family used their connections to get him a job at a bank to work in credit. When my brother Zhao first went there, he found out that the vice president knew about his family's connections and didn't like him. He said one thing to his face and another behind his back. He quit because he realized that he wasn't the type to be in an administrative class and be ordered around by others."

"He simply went out to set up a stall by himself. His family works in the Education Bureau, and his father is the former director. You can imagine how much this incident caused. Everyone in the Rongcheng Education Bureau knew that Director Zhao's son was setting up a stall outside to sell old pig's feet. His father is a senior intellectual and a leader of the Education Bureau. His son has been fighting since he was a child, and he has never been at ease. In the end, after graduating from college, he did not find a proper job and went to set up a stall under the bridge. He was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with Zhao Tao."

"So I never told you about this before." Wang Shuowei said.

"I can understand that." Zhang Chen said, "Godfather is quite considerate of his business."

"Don't mention it, my dad actually encouraged him!"

Zhang Chen thought that this was something Wang Bowen could do.

Zhang Chen thought about those people who were obviously young people from society and asked again: "Zhao Tao just said that there would be unrest. What does that mean?"

"My brother Zhao has great ambitions. Think about it, he wants to make money in an honest way. He just asked you whether you want to open a game hall or a restaurant? Do you think he will really listen to your opinion? He has long wanted to open a game hall. My father gave him money and asked him to take me out to play games. We went to the game hall and were ripped off by gangsters. He fought many people alone and was finally kicked out by the boss. Those gangsters were all connected with the boss. At that time, he told me, Weiwei, I will open a game hall in the future. If you come to play again, I will never let this happen!"

"Brother Zhao is holding back a lot of anger! Who is the boss of the game hall in the East City area? Have you heard the saying, if you want a fight, go to Zhaziba, if you want to grab something, go to Yanshikou. Brother Chao in the east, Luoyue in the west, Macheng in the south, and Shuangbing in the north."

"The game halls and billiard rooms in Dongcheng are all monopolized by Sun Chao. This Sun Chao is the Dong Chao brother mentioned in this sentence. My brother Zhao has been bullied by them before. The two gangs have always been at odds. You said that Brother Zhao wants to open a store now. Whose business is he affecting? He said it's not peaceful, and it's really not peaceful. Those brothers of Brother Zhao who came today just wanted to stir up trouble."

A fight is when two gangs meet at a location to compete with each other to divide up their territory. This is the most common activity among the gangsters in street entertainment venues these days.

Zhang Chen shook his head repeatedly, thinking that although the information age has arrived, there are still traces of the old era. Aren't people in social rhymes the targets of attack? Which future generations will have good results? Zhao Tao has been doing this all the way, and I'm afraid he will not be able to escape the record of a major case in the end.

It’s a pity that this kind of thing is beyond his control.

Zhao Tao of later generations was able to withdraw in time and successfully get ashore, which must have shown him some wisdom.

Zhao Tao is Wang Shuowei's cousin, and he helped them again today. Thinking about Zhao Tao's future fate, there is no need to worry too much.

……

After returning home, Zhang Chen called Zhuang Yanyue and thought of asking about her situation.

The phone rang a few times. When it was picked up, it was the voice of a middle-aged woman. Zhang Chengang asked, "Is Zhuang Yanyue there?"

There was a burst of scolding from the other side: "It's you guys. Why did you tell me, Zhuang Yanyue, to get out? What kind of people are you? Don't have any contact with my Zhuang Yanyue in the future!"

The voice was fierce and full of momentum. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Chen felt helpless here.

Emma, I shouldn't have made this call if I had known.

But after a while, the phone rang again. It was the cold voice of the woman just now, "Are you her classmate? What's your name?" "Zhang Chen."

"Are you Zhang Chen?" The female voice on the phone was clearly less domineering than before, and instead had a strange upward tone.

Zhang Chen was a little confused, "Hmm."

The person on the other end of the line must have transferred the call.

Zhuang Yanyue's voice sounded after a while: "Zhang Chen!" Her tone was urgent.

"I just want to ask you how you are doing?" After the incident, Zhuang Yanyue went to the nearby Rongcheng Orthopedic Hospital. After the examination, there was nothing wrong. They had known about it for a long time. Zhang Chen just made a phone call to express his condolences.

"It's okay. I went home and took a shower. My phone was outside and my mom gave it to me. She was a little fierce just now... You... don't be angry."

"It's just a small matter... As long as you are fine, those criminals who committed the crime will probably be sentenced later."

"Yes. That's good. I'm fine. I don't have any psychological problems. I think today is pretty good..."

Zhang Chen thought, what is this? You didn't feel any trauma in your heart after meeting the gangsters, but you still felt good about it? What kind of adventurous mentality is this? But it is also true that some people experience some setbacks or hardships that ordinary people can't imagine, and instead of complaining about the world and getting depressed, they find it thrilling and exciting. Zhuang Yanyue does have this idea.

Just like Zhang Chen now, although it is said that a gentleman does not fall into a dangerous wall, to be honest, after being reborn, I always feel that I have to experience everything to live up to this life. This kind of drama of sprinkling chili powder to save the beauty and running wildly at night to avoid the criminals did not cause much loss afterwards, which was indeed thrilling.

But the problem brought about by this action is that Zhang Chen must face up to his physical training, otherwise he could actually outrun Wang Shuowei today. With Wang Shuowei's thick skin and strong body, it would not be a problem for him to delay time by taking a beer bottle from the opponent with his unsteady steps.

At that time, he actually had a countermeasure. He had a handful of chili powder in his trouser pocket. If the opponent attacked Wang Shuowei, he could blind him from behind, but unfortunately he was hindered by his physical strength.

Little did she know that Zhuang Yanyue was just pushing Zhang Chen away at the most critical moment. At that moment, she didn't know why she rushed back, she just felt that Zhang Chen at that time was worthy of her confession and that her vision was really good.

While the two were talking on the phone, Zhuang Yanyue heard her mother's voice from the other end of the phone: "Is he the Zhang Chen who saved the man? Yanyue, you have to thank him..."

These words were spoken loudly, and it did not prevent Zhang Chen from hearing them at all.

Zhang Chen was stunned.

Today, all the parents of the parties involved in this incident have gone over to the Cultural Bureau. They all have some background. When the whole story was sorted out at the police station, Zhang Chen's role in it was revealed.

So now everyone in the courtyard of the Cultural Bureau is talking about the student Zhang Chen. The main reason is that they originally wanted to cause trouble for the detained gangsters, but they ended up seeing that their faces were red and swollen, and their bodies were covered with bruises. Some of them even had their heads bruised because they were blinded and they were simply bandaged. In short, it looked like this group of hooligans were the ones who were bullied, and the news spread among the parents.

They all said that the kid named Zhang Chen was very clever. He could find such a solution under such circumstances, otherwise he would not know how his child would be bullied.

Now we are discussing how to thank them properly.

This is a big deal.

Zhuang Yanyue was on the phone, watching her mother go from being furious to being grateful when she mentioned Zhang Chen, and she couldn't help but smile.
