Huayu 1995

Chapter 51 Now the roles of offense and defense have reversed.

Chapter 51 Now the roles have reversed!
Of course, they certainly weren't doing it under the guise of collecting protection money.

This is not Causeway Bay.

Organized crime is a serious crime in mainland China, especially within the inner third ring road area.

Although it's not yet 1996, the winds are already blowing.

The reason these unemployed people ask for money is that they clean the road in front of the courtyard and are also responsible for clearing the garbage dump not far away.

Besides taking out the trash, they also help fix faucets and wiring.

They are all very talented.

Since Su Chao and his team set up a training course here, it will definitely generate more household waste.

The electrical load is also greater, which will cause serious damage to the lines.

Charging a few dozen yuan a day is reasonable, isn't it?

To be honest, even the local police couldn't find anything wrong with it.

At most, they'll check their temporary residence permits.

"There's no trash here, we take care of it ourselves."

Huang Bo has high emotional intelligence and is quite tactful. He was about to go buy food when he saw people causing trouble, so he ran over to offer cigarettes.

"Don't give me that crap. Look at this, isn't this just trash? You must have thrown it away..."

Duan Ming's next words caught in his throat.

Because he saw Su Chao, the man who often appeared in his dreams.

Holy crap, I was startled awake!

"Do you know?"

Huang Bo observed the situation and came to this conclusion.

It's impossible that Duan Ming was so captivated by Su Chao's handsomeness that he couldn't even speak when he saw him.

"Haha, an acquaintance~"

Su Chao was quite happy to see Duan Ming. Last time, Duan Ming lent him ten yuan and tore up the IOU, saying he didn't need to pay it back.

They are so loyal!

"Oh, an acquaintance, but why doesn't he seem happy at all?"

Huang Bo scratched his head, somewhat confused.

"That's overdoing it, too short-lived. Long time no see, Brother Mouth is here too..."

Su Chao happily greeted the guys.

Three familiar faces and two unfamiliar faces, a total of five thugs.

If he were alone, facing five young men head-on without the opportunity for a surprise attack, he might not have been able to defeat them.

Few normal people can face five opponents head-on; even trained fighters need to pull and crouch in the grass.

But this training center is his territory.

He can yell and a bunch of people will come out immediately.

Moreover, Duan Ming was terrified.

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins; if you lose your momentum, what's the point of fighting?

The two unfamiliar faces, seeing Duan Ming's state, knew something was wrong and didn't jump out to challenge Su Chao to a duel.

"me……"

He was definitely happy, but only Su Chao himself was happy.

Everyone else remained silent.

Brother Mouth dared not be angry or speak out.

I curse your mother's mouth! I slapped your hand until it was red, and your shameless face still keeps popping into my mind.

"It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding, let's leave now!"

Duan Ming didn't turn around and run away just now because his legs were weak.

He's not someone who hasn't been beaten up before.

But he had never encountered a situation like the one before; this guy immediately presented him with a burly man.

After taking several deep breaths, I finally found the courage to run away.

"Duan Ming, aren't you going to greet me when you see me?"

Lu Bu followed behind Su Chao, grinning at Duan Ming.

He used to run away whenever he saw Duan Ming.

The roles of offense and defense have now reversed!
He's the dominant one now!
"Come back~"

Su Chao's words made Duan Ming stop in his tracks.

The other henchmen looked at each other, none of them running away.

These days, you have to be loyal to your friends.

Even if the other party is some prehistoric behemoth, they must share the same bed.

"Brother Biao, we were wrong!"

Duan Ming looked down at his toes; it was utterly humiliating.

But humiliation is better than pain in the butt!

Huang Bo was completely bewildered. Cousin? Why is he calling Su Chao "cousin"?

And they were even shouting in a dialect.

Is that accent from Shaanxi or Shanxi...?

"What could you have done wrong? You did nothing wrong. Here, take this ten yuan."

Su Chao put his arm around Duan Ming's shoulder and stuffed a banknote into Duan Ming's breast pocket.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Duan Ming has been having nightmares for the past few days.

But life goes on, and as a rogue, you should do what a rogue should do.

I heard this morning that a lot of pretty girls have come here.

He called over a few of his underlings to check out the girls and, incidentally, expand his protection fee business.

Many people?

Please, so what if there are a lot of people?

In the eyes of these professionals, the dozen or so people in the training course were all a mob.

They were professionals when it came to robbery. Unfortunately, they ended up robbing someone even more professional than they were.

Sang Biao...

A nightmare has begun!

As Su Chao approached and embraced him, he felt himself being enveloped and swallowed by darkness.

"Just take it if I tell you to!"

Su Chao would stuff it into his pocket, and he would take it out and give it back to Su Chao. After this happened a few times, Su Chao started to get annoyed.

Am I being too polite?

Am I being too polite to you?

Should I take action now?

"Brother Biao, what exactly do you want? Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, please don't torture me!"

I... I'm not even afraid of death.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help with cleaning? Perfect timing, I'm asking you for help. We have a legal and compliant employment relationship, here's your pay for today..."

Su Chao pulled Duan Ming aside and assigned him tasks.

There's trash on the roadside near the entrance; it's not unreasonable to help clean it up, is it?

The wall is dirty; it would look better if it were cleaned.

It hasn't rained in so long, the stone slabs in the yard look rough and dull, they need to be mopped.

Several newly vacated rooms, because the tenants were from the lower class and not very hygienic, had large spittle marks on the walls and even spit marks on the cement floors...

It's best to also take the four-poster bed out of the room and clean it thoroughly.

"Brother Biao...we..."

We're thugs, you idiot! You're treating us like janitors!

Such a heavy workload and they only pay ten yuan!

"If you love Me, you will keep My commands."

Su Chao straightened Duan Ming's collar and said earnestly.

The Gospel of John in the Bible says that if you love me, you must keep my commandments.

Duan Ming didn't understand, but the sentence ended with "death," and he immediately felt:
It's actually worthwhile to clean up a bit.

When Huang Bo returned after buying food, he saw the group of thugs working diligently inside and outside the yard like a swarm of busy little bees.

Their faces beamed with the joy of labor, showing that they had no regrets.

"It really is your cousin!"

Huang Bo unloaded the things from the bicycle, and Su Chao helped take them from him.

"All men are brothers under heaven."

"So, we're not providing meals?"

He didn't buy that much; he only considered the people on their side.

"No need, I've already paid them their salaries."

He hired five laborers for ten yuan, two yuan each, which was probably enough to buy steamed buns.

"Ming-ge, that guy went inside to eat. Shall we run away?"

The underlings shook their wrists and offered their suggestions with long faces.

Although they are all from the bottom of society, to survive in this world, one must have the basic qualities of being lazy and greedy. This little bit of work already makes them feel like they're in heaven.

"Run? Where to run? Big Mouth, do you know what I went through last time? You don't, because you ran away first..."

Duan Ming never wanted to experience that kind of despair again.

"Everyone ran away..."

Big Mouth is innocent. Why stay here instead of running away? Are you going to get hurt along with him?
"Hurry up and get to work! You're all so slow! There's still a dirty spot over there. How the hell did you clean it? If Sang Biao sees this, he'll definitely give me a piece of his mind!"

Duan Ming wanted to make sure that every corner was clean.

Su Chao and the others have already started eating.

Su Chao, Lü Bu, Huang Bo, Guo Xiaofeng, Guo Xiaodong, and Zhou Xun.

"I think the training course is quite interesting. Can I continue to be a shill for this?"

Zhou Xun is so tired today that her back aches and her waist is sore; it's even more tiring than exercising with her boyfriend.

But I was very happy.

The things they do are interesting, and the people in them are interesting too.

She's different from the musicians around her boyfriend.

Those people boasted of their exceptional talent, but they were all lifeless, filled with decadence and resentment.

"Just do the work."

Have the future three Golden Horse Award winners serve you tea and water, then hang their photos on the wall—that'll show you how prestigious you are.

Lu Bu has already started snapping photos with his camera today.

Although his skill level is limited, his source material is excellent!

Teacher Chen's skills aren't that great either.
Would your boyfriend agree?

Huang Bo didn't want anyone to come knocking on his door to fight.

These days, fighting over women is the most common thing.

We... broke up!

Zhou Xun calmly replied.

"Brilliant!"

Su Chao couldn't argue with that; they had just talked yesterday, and broke up that very night.

"It's good that you broke up. You deserve someone better, Mr. Zhou!"

"Yes, let's have a drink!"

Everyone comforted her, after all, they were partners who ran the training course together.
