A life of success begins with being a landlord.

If I don't go, and Jin Sangzi gets shut down, won't Dao Zai Xiong hate me to death?

That damned son of a high-ranking official is forcing me into prostitution! I'm a fine young man, full of righteousness, but I'm forced to have this debauchery with him!

After thinking about it, I called Daozai Xiong and told him, "Brother Xiong, Mei Hongju has asked me to go see him again. If I don't go, he'll shut down Jin Sangzi..."

Dao Zixiong was startled: "Then you should go over there! Don't offend this young master; we can't afford to mess with him!"

"Okay, Xiong-ge," I sighed.

"Brother, don't sigh. I know you've been wronged. I remember it all and I won't treat you badly in the future."

Dao Zixiong comforted me, as if my going there would be like a respectable woman being sold into a brothel.

I hung up the phone, checked the time, and continued playing mahjong.

At 2:30 p.m., I asked Uncle Ding to take over the mahjong game while I drove to the Wanghailou Hotel.

When I arrived at the hotel, I called Mei Hongju to ask where he was.

Mei Hongju smiled and said, "Wait for me at the Blue Rose Bar across the street. I'll be right there."

I looked back and sure enough, there was a Blue Rose Bar across the street.

After parking the car, I waited in front of the Blue Rose Bar.

About twenty minutes later, Mei Hongju came over with three men.

One of the men was carrying a briefcase.

I recognize him; he's the guy I taught a lesson at Jin Sangzi last time.

Mei Hongju walked over and patted me on the shoulder: "I have some friends coming over for drinks later, you'd better get them all drunk!"

I gave a wry smile: "I'll do my best."

The Blue Rose foreman all recognized Mei Hongju and had already come to greet him.

It was still dusk, and there weren't many customers in the bar.

However, the bar's program was already scheduled, including song and dance performances.

We sat down to drink, chat, and watch the song and dance performances.

Mei Hongju smiled at me and said, "Tonight, two minor celebrities are coming to sing. I invited you over to broaden your horizons."

I was surprised: "Celebrities singing in bars?"

"That's so outdated." A lackey next to him rolled his eyes. "In the South, there are tons of second- or third-tier celebrities who come to bars to sing and make money."

Then, the lackey listed out a certain celebrity to me, with a smirk on his face: "Our Brother Hong has been with all of these celebrities."

I was even more surprised.

The celebrities I just mentioned are, in my opinion, unattainable.

Unexpectedly, it was nothing more than a plaything for the rich.

It is said that tonight's stars are a pair of sisters, whose stage name is "Star and Moon Legend".

I know these two sisters; they sing sweet songs and have been in the industry for several years. I even bought their cassette tapes back then.

I've seen these twin sisters on TV; they have a pure and innocent image, looking like naive and innocent girls next door.

Unfortunately, tonight... sigh!

I waited listlessly until seven o'clock, when the bar gradually started to fill up with customers.

A commotion erupted at the entrance; Star Moon Legend had truly arrived.

The two sisters still maintain their on-screen image, dressing and looking like schoolgirls.

Under the dazzling lights, you couldn't really see the two people's true faces; you just thought they were very beautiful.

The host came on stage, gave an introduction, and then invited the two sisters to sing and dance. The crowd applauded, shouted, and whistled.

The two sisters opened the show by singing a love duet: "I've heard your songs, my big brother... I understand your heart, your joys and sorrows..."

As the song ended, Mei Hongju waved his hand and instructed his henchmen, "Give him a reward of 100,000!"

I doubt I heard correctly. Did someone just casually give out 100,000 yuan in tips?

Looking at the excited crowd before me, the heavily made-up sisters singing and dancing, their swaying steps, the bright red wine, and the changing lights, I suddenly thought of Du Fu's poem.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

Several more people squeezed in; they were Mei Hongju's friends.

Mei Hongju didn't introduce them, but pointed to his friends and said to me, "Brother, drink with them, and knock them all out!"

I just nodded and smiled.

Drinking alcohol is nowhere near as exciting as watching celebrities sing and dance.

The bar is getting more and more customers, all of whom are wealthy.

The "Blue Rose Star" selection event for tonight has also begun on stage.

Whoever throws out the most money will be tonight's Blue Rose Star, and there's supposedly a reward.

I overheard people talking about it and realized that the so-called reward was spending the night with a celebrity.

But the Star and Moon Legend are sisters, how are they going to spend this beautiful night?

The host on stage started bidding, and a tycoon tipped 200,000.

I took a look, and the guy who tipped 200,000 was also a young man, not even thirty years old. He was sitting on the left side of the T-stage with four men in black, separated from us by the T-stage.

Mei Hongju sneered and raised his hand: "Three hundred thousand!"

A supervisor walked over and whispered, "Brother Hong, give us some face. The guy who just offered 200,000 is a customer from Hong Kong. We can't afford to offend him..."

Snapped!

With a sharp crack, the foreman received a slap across the face.

Mei Hongju glared and cursed, "So what if he's from Gangzhou? He may have money, but do you think I don't?"

The foreman covered his face, bowed, and took his leave.

The customer from Hong Kong across the street continued to quote: "Two hundred and one thousand!"

Adding 10,000 yuan to the price Mei Hongju reported was clearly intentional, meant to disgust Mei Hongju.

Mei Hongju roared in fury: "Five hundred thousand! I'll pay five hundred thousand!"

The assistant immediately stepped forward, opened the combination lock box, and showed it to the lobby manager.

"Five hundred and one thousand." The Hong Kong customer opposite him was not to be outdone and said calmly.

"Damn you, Rem!"

Enraged, Mei Hongju cursed and ordered his henchmen, "Go over there, drag that Hong Kong bastard out and break both his legs!"

The lackeys around the young master immediately stepped across the catwalk and headed straight for the customers from Hong Kong and Zhou.

I didn't move.

I am the honorary principal of Yingcai School, a goodwill ambassador, an outstanding young entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and the deputy secretary-general of the Dongguan Anhui Entrepreneurs Association. I don't do the work of a lackey!

Under the flashing lights, several lackeys approached the Hong Kong and Zhou guests.

Two of the four men in black behind the Hong Kong guest immediately stepped forward and blocked Mei Hongju's men.

Both sides were gesturing and pointing fingers during the negotiations.

Then, the two men in black pointed outside the door.

I'm trying to guess their dialogue.

It's estimated that the man in black didn't want to make a move in the bar, so he arranged for Mei Hongju's men to handle it outside.

Sure enough, Mei Hongju's four men, along with two men in black, went out together.

The Hong Kong guest, with his elegant demeanor, turned around, smiled at Mei Hongju, raised his glass from afar, and took a graceful sip.

Mei Hongju snorted and gave the other party a fierce look!

On stage, the Star and Moon Legend began another song and dance performance, while cheers and whistles echoed from the audience.

I watched with great excitement, enjoying the star's charm up close.

Suddenly, I saw two men in black from Gangzhou walk back into the bar, but Mei Hongju's four men were nowhere to be seen.

Mei Hongju seemed to realize something, and his expression changed.

The two men in black returned unharmed, but our own men didn't. Clearly, they won, and we lost!

Moreover, the two men in black did not return to their master's side, but went straight for Mei Hongju.

It seems that the two men in black weren't satisfied with dealing with Mei Hongju's four lackeys, and now they're going to deal with Mei Hongju himself!

Mei Hongju's expression changed drastically, and he ordered his friends, "Call some people over, bring some guns!"
