However, when this gang talks about protection, they really mean it, not just lip service without actually doing anything.
After all, it is not easy for gangs to survive nowadays. They cannot collect too much protection money. If they collect too much, there will be a lot of trouble. Moreover, the police are powerful now. If they really do something bad, it will be a mess. Even if they don’t arrest you, they can’t take the money.
All in all, it's a real headache.
That's why Ryuen Masaaki would never say that he wanted his daughter to inherit his business, as it is not easy to make money.
How can you make money? Either you become the master, or you become the dog under the master.
Now there is no chance to be a dog, you can only stay here obediently. Longyuan Yazhang's small underworld is too small, with only about thirty people. Compared with others, it is terrible.
"This is where we collect protection money."
Here, Uncle Yucai introduced his gang’s territory to the two of them.
Chapter 74: Emotionally
There is a reason why Ryuen Masaaki can still be the big brother.
Although this underworld group is not small, the territory is indeed good.
It's a good place.
The real estate agent was walking on this street, looking at this relatively prosperous street, he almost understood why Long Yuan Yazhang could still hold on.
"This whole street is ours. Of course, it's just this one street."
Uncle Yucai was introducing this place to the two of them. Shiina Hiwa looked left and right curiously, and her eyes fell on an ice cream shop.
Even though it's September now, the weather hasn't gotten cold yet. Although the temperature outside is 23 degrees Celsius, it's not impossible to eat something cool.
"Can I get an ice cream?"
The real estate agent noticed that Shiina Hiyori wanted to eat, so he pointed to the ice cream shop not far away and asked Uncle Ikucai.
"Oh, of course no problem, that's it, right? Then let's go check it out."
Uncle Yucai knew that the student had no money in his pocket. Ryuen Shoko had told Uncle Yucai about this in advance.
In school, everyone uses points, so I don't have any money in my pocket. Since I'm out shopping, I'm going to buy something.
"Grandma, two ice creams, please."
Uncle Yucai walked to the front of the shop and bought two ice creams directly from the old man inside.
"Okay, right away..."
The old man did not recognize Uncle Yucai, perhaps because he had never collected protection fees. It was the younger generation who collected protection fees, and it had nothing to do with him.
However, the real estate agent could see the old woman's mentality.
This is a mentality for living life, and she is really enjoying her current life.
She did not feel that her life was difficult because of the so-called protection fee. She had a kind smile on her face and handed two ice creams to Shiina Hiyori: "Come on, little girl, eat with your boyfriend."
"Thank you grandma."
After thanking the grandmother, Shiina handed the ice cream to the real estate agent, and the three of them continued walking forward.
After the real estate agent took the ice cream, he found that Uncle Yucai had been staring at him, and that look made him feel a little uneasy.
"Uncle Yucai, what's the matter?"
"No big deal...Are you...Shoko's boyfriend?"
"That's it."
The real estate agent ate ice cream and said calmly to Uncle Yucai: "In terms of relationship, we are not yet. But in terms of feelings, we are almost there."
"Emotionally?"
"Well, after all, she brought her quilt into my dormitory because she didn't want to clean the dormitory, so she just lived in my dormitory."
"..."
Uncle Yucai really didn't expect that such a situation would actually happen.
But at least we sleep in separate quilts, so that’s okay.
"So how do you usually live?"
"She doesn't have much of a life. She just goes to school during the day and stays in the dormitory at night. Sometimes she goes to the gym to exercise, and then plays video games with other students."
"Who takes care of the dormitory hygiene? You? Or Shoko?"
"At most I cooked, and I asked a classmate to do the cleaning because the school gave money based on class performance, so the living expenses of students in the poorly performing classes were not enough and they all needed to work part-time."
"That's it, then..."
The three of them walked and talked here, and soon Uncle Yucai learned about Ryuen Shoko's performance in school through the two of them.
By the way, I also learned about the relationship between the three people.
In his heart, he also gave some importance to the real estate agency and Shiina Hiyori.
The real estate agent and Ryuen Shoko do have a good relationship, and they are almost boyfriend and girlfriend, but neither of them has spoken out.
He's a nice person overall and takes good care of Ryuen Shoko.
Shiina is Ryuuen's best friend, and the two of them would talk about things that only girls would talk about. Usually, Ryuuen is as strong as ever to others, and only in front of these two people will he show a softer side.
"Eh? Why is this store empty?"
While walking and chatting, the real estate agent suddenly discovered that there was an empty store, a completely undecorated bare house.
There is no house number at the door, which looks very strange.
"This store has not had anyone take over since the last owner left."
"That's not right. Logically speaking, this street is so busy, there should be someone to take over, right?"
"It's too small to run a big restaurant. Plus, this restaurant is now owned by a gang. If it were a gang, it would be expensive with protection money. We basically can't afford to rent it."
"If we can't afford to rent, then we can open our own business. I've come across a lot of milk tea shops and I don't see any, so we might as well open one."
"A milk tea shop? Can it make money?"
"Why can't we make money? Isn't there a girls' high school next door? Girls love this kind of dessert the most, so why not try making some bubble milk tea or something? It's a waste to leave this store like this anyway, so let's open another one and see how it goes."
With just a few words, the matter was settled. The real estate agent and Uncle Yucai briefly chatted about the various preparations and general funding needs for opening the milk tea shop.
Anyway, the store belongs to the gang, so the simplest thing is that the rent is not required and the rest of the things can be bought later.
I once took a course on business planning in college, which was specifically about planning a plan to consider from various angles how to open a store. So I had some theoretical experience as a real estate agent, and I started chatting directly with Uncle Yucai.
Just after this chat, Uncle Yucai felt more and more that he should open a store like this.
Of course, this store was opened not for pure income, but also to serve as a base from which to observe the surrounding situation.
The location is in the middle, so if there is any trouble, weapons can be quickly taken out from here to suppress and resolve it.
Many gangs are eyeing the prosperity of this street, but for various reasons they have no reason to take it away. Long Yuan Yazhang has been struggling to protect the income from this location, so Uncle Yucai has been thinking about this aspect.
The real estate agent has given a very good idea, so why not give it a try, what if it works?
As they chatted and walked around the street, it was soon past eleven o'clock. Uncle Yucai then decided to take the two of them home to have lunch.
"In the gang, everyone has to take care of their own breakfast and dinner. Only lunch can be eaten here if you want. It's a good opportunity for you to come here, so why not try our extreme food?"
Yucai's words made the real estate agent nod quickly, indicating that there was no problem.
As it turned out, the gangster's lunch was indeed good. Although it only had one meat and two vegetables, it was really nutritious.
Anyway, the real estate agent enjoyed the meal very much.
Chapter 75: Warm Home
"Okay, I feel relieved knowing that you are doing well now."
Ryuen Masaaki patted Ryuen Shoko's shoulder and said this, with tears in his eyes.
As a father, he naturally felt reluctant to let the girl he had always regarded as a treasure go to that school and not come back for a long time.
I was lucky to see it this time, otherwise I don’t know when I would see it next time.
"Well, see you later then."
"Well, I'll come see you during your school festival."
"…Then you better not come."
When this matter was mentioned, Ryuen Shoko suddenly didn't want her father to come.
She hasn't figured out what to do during the school festival. All classes have to present something at the festival, and she still hasn't figured out what to present.
If that doesn't work, ask the real estate agent and see what he thinks?
Thinking about it in her mind, Ryuen Shoko didn't say anything more and planned to say goodbye to her father.
She didn't say that she wanted to meet Shiina's family later, otherwise Ryuen Masaaki would definitely not let Ryuen Shoko leave.
At this point, she had to be ruthless.
"Oh, that kid..."
Ryuen Masaaki suddenly thought of the real estate agent. This guy had left a great impression on him during the food festival. "How was he to you?"
"It's fine, you don't have to think too much."
Ryuen Shoko didn't plan to say much about the real estate agency. She just came to the door after talking to her father.
The real estate agent and Shiina Hiyori had been waiting at the door for a long time. Both of them were looking down at their phones. Neither of them spoke, but were using their phones to discuss what to do next.
After all, they were guests, so naturally no one would come over to see what messages were being sent on their phones.
"I'll have a chat with the house boy."
Long Yuan Yazhang thought about it and decided to have a few words with the real estate agent and talk to him about it in detail.
"dad."
"Don't worry, it's not targeting him, just a simple chat."
Long Yuan Masaaki didn't say much, but walked to the real estate agent and patted him on the shoulder: "Housing boy, is it okay to chat for a while?"
"Hmm? Of course, what's up?"
The real estate agent turned off the screen of his phone when he noticed someone coming, so Ryuen Masaaki did not see the chat history between the real estate agent and Shiina Hiyori. He pulled the real estate agent aside and chatted with him about some things about Ryuen Shoko.
"I'll leave it to you to take care of Shoko at school."
"Don't worry, uncle. I'll take this into consideration. After all, Shoko is my big sister, so I'll naturally take good care of her."
"That's not what I meant. It's something else... What are your plans after graduation?"
"After graduation... I should be working for the Sakayanagi family."
"Sakayanagi family? Which Sakayanagi family?"
As Ryuen Masaaki listened to the real estate agent's words, he couldn't help but wonder which family this Sakayanagi family was.
He really had no impression of the existence of this family.
"The high school your daughter attends is the Sakayanagi family's. You should have some impression of this, right?"
The real estate agent didn't believe that Ryuen Masaaki hadn't researched Koudou Yusei High School. After all, it was the school his daughter was going to attend in the future, so he had to take a good look at what it was like.
After being reminded of this, Ryuen Masaaki finally realized: "Oh, that company... That company is pretty good. Do you plan to work there? That's fine, that's fine too."
Speaking of the future, Ryuen Masaaki also sighed: "But to be honest, I don't want Shoko to have any problems in the future. She seems to be strong-willed, but in fact she is just holding on. If she really can't hold on, you must help her."
"Don't worry about that. I will definitely not forget Big Sister."
The real estate agent didn't say anything unnecessary. He knew that the old father was just worried about his daughter, so he said some nice things to reassure the old father.
"Then let your uncle Yucai take you back next?"
"No, we have to meet up with the school team next. We can just take a taxi there. Don't bother you."
The real estate agent gave a more appropriate reason: "We actually left secretly this time. We are going to school, and we will be exposed if you send us there, so we can just go there by ourselves."
"That's fine. I'll trust you if you do it. Shoko is a soft-hearted girl, so don't let her get hurt."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
After talking to the old father for a while, the real estate agent finally escaped from his arms, with a few Japanese yen bills in his hand.
Anyway, this money is definitely enough for a taxi, and he probably planned to buy something for Ryuen Shoko on the way.
