"John, what do we do? What should we do?" the Caucasian man asked anxiously.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Jesse hastily woke up the other unconscious man, and dragged the black man away in a defeated manner.
The Northeastern Tiger was immediately dumbfounded. Although he did not understand what those foreigners were jabbering about, from their terrified demeanor and panicked expressions, he could roughly guess that they must have encountered something quite frightening.
The Northeastern Tiger was somewhat puzzled: "What... what's happening?"
"Don't know, but they seem startled," the bearded man quickly said.
"Startled?" The Northeastern Tiger was startled and said, "What's going on? How could they be startled?"
"Only heaven knows that," the bearded man shook his head hastily.
As soon as those three guys left, the Northeastern Tiger immediately seemed isolated and without support. With only the bearded man, it was clear they were not a match for Lin Chuan and his brothers. However, Lin Chuan didn't make it difficult for those three foreigners but instead watched the Northeastern Tiger with amusement.
"Tiger, look at the people you've hired for a hefty price, they just ran away," Lin Chuan said with a chuckle.
"Lin Chuan, don't be so smug," the bearded man glared fiercely at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan, calm and unhurried, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, gently blew out a white smoke ring and said, "If you're not convinced, come and fight."
"You!" The bearded man gritted his teeth in anger.
With the bearded man's ability, he was simply no match for Lin Chuan. The bearded man had already experienced Lin Chuan's prowess. This time, the Northeastern Tiger had spent a hundred thousand US Dollars to hire three men who claimed to be formidable assassins, yet they turned out to be so easily defeated. He really couldn't have expected this because at Qinghua Pool, the bearded man had already sparred with them, and with his own skills, he was not the match of any of those three men. Unexpectedly, even these experts were not a match for Lin Chuan.
"If you accept defeat, then scram quickly," Lin Chuan said with a cold smile. "When you have enough strength, come back and fight for this battlefield."
The Northeastern Tiger slowly stood up from his chair and said, "Little brother, let's go."
"Big brother, are we just going to hand over this battlefield to them like this?" The bearded man was very unwilling.
"What can we do?" The Northeastern Tiger smiled calmly and said, "If we are to blame, it's because we are inferior in skills, you know?"
"Sigh!" The bearded man heaved a deep sigh and then turned around to leave.
Watching the Northeastern Tiger and the bearded man leave, Lin Chuan's brothers immediately jumped three feet high in excitement, and even the injured brothers couldn't help but leap about excitedly. Defeating the Northeastern Tiger was a sign of progress. Sooner or later, Lin Chuan would surely sweep Jiangbei City and become the number one gang in Jiangbei City.
Now, the Northeastern Tiger has a large family business, numerous followers, and his relations with officialdom are intricately complex. It's indeed a bit difficult to take him down all at once.
"Brother Chuan, you're so awesome," Zhou Kai said excitedly.
"This is truly satisfying," Lu Dapao's face flushed with excitement, unable to hide the thrill in his heart.
"Alright, the trouble is dealt with," Lin Chuan glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone get back to work, don't delay our money-making."
"Yes!" Zhou Kai nodded hastily.
Lu Dapao waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Brothers, get busy, hurry up and make money. By the end of the year, everyone will take home a big stack of cash."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed heartily.
Actually, the salaries of Lin Chuan's brothers were not low at all. In Jiangbei City, they were considered quite high already. According to the average income in Jiangbei City, it's around three thousand. But these brothers could earn over five thousand each month with diligence, and the work wasn't very tiring. Operating excavators, driving transport trucks... anyone with a bit of technical skill could basically make over six thousand.
Where could they earn such high wages?
Many people were keen to get into Feixiang Company, but Feixiang Company only took in their own internal brothers, and outside personnel were categorically not accepted. Therefore, the brothers inside had generally good incomes. This also led to the young men from Changlin Factory becoming more attractive.
Nearly half of the members were young men from Changlin Factory. Since joining Lin Chuan's team, their incomes naturally soared, and several of the brothers bought houses outside, led by Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and Huang Bo.
These three guys were forced by their families to buy houses, paid more than two hundred thousand as down payment, and then repaid the mortgage every month.
In Changlin Factory, many people favored the young men working in the transport market. In the past, families with daughters would never marry their girls off to the young men of Changlin Factory. They'd often look further afield. But now it's different, families with daughters ready for marriage were keen to find suitors from Changlin Factory. The first reason being they knew their background and found them reliable, and the second was naturally seeing the prospects of Feixiang Company, where the young men working there generally had higher income, and their compensation was quite good. In the future, they would surely be the ones buying houses and cars.
The battlefield was now stable, and Northeastern Tiger did not dare to mess around anymore.
The so-called three assassins that were so hard to bring in turned out to be so unreliable, each one got knocked off in no time.
"Big brother, what's the deal with those three foreign devils?" On the way back, the bearded man complained while driving, "They couldn't possibly be three scammers, could they?"
Sitting in the back seat, the "Northeast Tiger" was silent for a while before he chuckled, "Scammers or not, at least they're stronger than you, aren't they?"
"But... they couldn't even handle Lin Chuan, could they really be some bird-brained has-beens from a special forces unit?" the bearded man said helplessly.
"Perhaps it's just a cover for something else," laughed the Northeast Tiger, "Maybe... they're just ordinary assassins. They came to our country under some pretext, hoping to make a quick buck. But they didn't expect to run into someone as tough as Lin Chuan."
"So what do we do?" asked the bearded man.
"What can we do?" sighed the Northeast Tiger and said, "Just let it be."
"But... what about the money?" the bearded man curiously asked.
"Pay them as agreed," the Northeast Tiger chuckled, "You've got to honor the rules of the underworld. Besides, it's not wise to offend those guys. If we piss them off and they take a shot at us in secret, we're done for."
"Yes, yes!" the bearded man quickly nodded in agreement.
Nobody really knew if those guys were genuine special forces; if it turned out they were ruthless assassins, surely they would seek revenge if not paid. So, it was safer to just wire them the money.
The three foreign men had already fled to Shanghai overnight, planning to leave China on an international flight from there.
"Jesse, look quick," shouted a black man urgently.
"What happened?" Jesse asked.
"That weird Chinese guy actually transferred the money to us," said the black man, unable to hide his astonishment.
"What?" Jesse was puzzled, "Why would he do that? We didn't complete the job for them."
"Probably only God knows," the black man shrugged, with a comical expression on his face.
"It just goes to show that old saying, 'Chinese people have too much money and are stupid'," Jesse burst into laughter.
The two black men looked at each other and hurriedly said, "We've heard that in China, foreigners enjoy a particularly high status and identity. In that case, why shouldn't we stay and enjoy the treatment of gods? With people being so foolish and having plenty of money, why not stay and make a profit?"
"Right," John hurriedly said, "And, Chinese women have a certain fondness for foreigners. It's not like in America and some European countries where people have an inherent bias against our black skin. The Chinese don't. A few of my friends who studied in China told me that Chinese women are easy to hook up with, a sure thing with just a dip, and you can end up in bed with them after just two days. Jesse, being white like you, they might be willing to sleep with you in just one day."
"Really?" Jesse was taken aback, "Isn't China a traditional country? I thought the women were more conservative?"
"Heh heh, not anymore," John laughed, "Western women are called open; the women here can only be described as promiscuous, ha ha..."
"In that case, why don't we just stay?" Jesse laughed, "Not only can we play with women, but we can also make money."
After a brief exchange, the three men instantly decided to stay and start a business.
Soon, they established a language center, specializing in teaching English. The registrants ranged from all kinds of groups, mainly urban white-collar workers, with a good number of college students as well. The three men flourished like fish in water. The language center thrived, they earned heaps of money, and the rotation of women was nearly daily; they could reel in all kinds of women with just a little flirtation.
Chinese women are vain, thinking that having a foreign boyfriend adds prestige, oblivious to the cultural differences between China and abroad. They fail to realize that for a foreigner, a Chinese girlfriend is just a casual fling, while many Chinese women think they can marry overseas and lead a luxurious life, only ending up with nothing to show for their hopes.
...
Night Color Bar.
Fang Yuan returned to work at the bar. During her absence, Charming Blue was out of supply for quite a while; but now with her return, Charming Blue was once more available. Someone speculated in secret that Fang Yuan might be the bartender behind Charming Blue, or perhaps, the real owner of the bar.
"Miss Fang, you're finally back," a young lackey said with a smile as he approached her.
"So?" Fang Yuan, holding a glass of alcohol and dressed in a very attractive and seductive outfit, glanced at the lackey and said, "In this month or so I've been gone, you wouldn't have struck it rich, would you?"
"How could I?" The lackey's gaze wandered over Fang Yuan's chest, and he said with a smile, "Miss Fang, you haven't seen you in over a month, you seem much more radiant."
