Beep, beep, beep …
Jiang Cheng was sitting on the sofa, enjoying a leisurely day. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He grabbed the phone from the table, the screen blinking. Jiang Cheng looked at it carefully, then looked at the caller ID.
"Britney? What's the matter? "
Jiang Cheng scratched his head, still unable to understand this matter. In his impression, Britney was still hospitalized, and there was nothing important …
Because his business was being handled by Zhuge Liuyun …
In the end, he really couldn't understand, so Jiang Cheng simply picked up the phone.
"Hello, is this Jiang Cheng?"
"It's me, what's the matter?"
"Have you eaten?"
Before entering the main topic, Britney always made some small talk. Although it would not make the other party feel too abrupt, it was also a waste of the other party's time … Especially in the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, if your superior was super busy, then directly say the problem.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Cheng asked tentatively.
"It's nothing important."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Since Britney said it was nothing important, then Jiang Cheng didn't have to worry about his initial thoughts …
I thought Britney called me for something important! Now it seems that is not the case …
Immediately, Britney eagerly added, "But there is a small matter."
"Something happened at Burglar Grove."
"Our bar business at Golden Dragon Gate was destroyed by Burglar Grove's Gulat Family."
She just said it was nothing important, but now that the bar business was destroyed, was it still not a big deal?
The economic industry that the Lung Hing Society relied on was the bar business. There were a total of three bars in Lindong Street, and this Golden Dragon Gate bar was the largest of all, so naturally, the economic income was also the highest.
At its peak, Golden Dragon Gate's bar business provided 60% of the Lung Hing Society's expenses.
Including the salaries of the Lung Hing Society's members, as well as the cost of researching and developing the latest technology, it was not a small amount. If one were to calculate the accounts, one would find that this amount of money was at least comparable to the annual GDP of a small or medium-sized country …
It wasn't easy for the bar's business to be comparable to the GDP of a country. This was all thanks to Zhuge Liuyun.
"Why didn't Zhuge Liuyun tell me about this? How could the Gulat Family, who had stolen the Grove, snatch their business away? That's impossible. I have a good relationship with Grave Thief. "
As soon as he heard the news, Jiang Cheng immediately became anxious. He spoke in an urgent tone, wanting to get more detailed information about Britney.
"This is what Zhuge Liuyun just told me. This is the first time I know. Where are you now? I'll come to find you."
"Then hurry up. I'm on Lindong Street's Pu Xia Street. This side is surrounded by …" In order to more accurately understand the surrounding environment, Jiang Cheng unconsciously glanced at the surrounding high-rise buildings. "I'm in the center of four high-rise buildings, which is the commercial street of Pu Xia Street."
"Okay, I'll come right away. Wait for me. I'll tell you everything clearly."
After that, Britney directly hung up the phone.
Beep beep beep …
After putting the phone back in his pocket, Jiang Cheng held his head with both hands and thought for a long time, but in the end, he still couldn't figure out a problem.
That was, "Why would Grave Thief destroy his own bar business for no reason … It's not like he doesn't know. That's the industry that our Lung Hing Society's economy relies on. If we lose that income, then our Lung Hing Society will eat northwest wind at the intersection."
"Could it be that he doesn't regard me, Jiang Cheng, as a friend anymore?"
After struggling for a long time, Jiang Cheng decided to call Grave Thief to clarify things.
Otherwise, even if he continued to think about it, there would still be no result.
Quickly taking the phone out of his pocket, Jiang Cheng typed a few numbers into the phone.
It wasn't until the three words "Grave Thief" appeared on the screen that Jiang Cheng stuck the phone to his head.
It was said that mobile phones emitted a lot of radiation when making a call, especially a phone call.
He called but didn't get through … But Jiang Cheng didn't seem to know about this matter …
"Who are you??"
An unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the phone. Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment.
Then he said, "Aren't you Grave Thief?"
This made Jiang Cheng puzzled. He recalled the experience when he called.
There's no mistake, I'm calling Grave Thief. How can it be a girl's voice? This is too strange …
"Our clan leader went out just now. May I know why you are looking for him, sir?" The crisp and gentle voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before continuing. "If it's possible, I can help you pass on the message to our clan leader."
Jiang Cheng rubbed his head with one hand, trying his best to rub the few strands of hair that were scattered around. It seemed that his anxiety was acting up a little.
In the end, Jiang Cheng decided not to say it first. "That, when your clan leader comes back, let him call me back."
"Okay, no problem."
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything else?
If not, I'm going to hang up … " "Excuse me, sir, is there anything else?
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's fine, remember to inform your Gefu Patriarch …"
Then, with a plop, Jiang Cheng covered the phone with his hand.
Regardless of whether Grave Thief has really betrayed me, Jiang Cheng, and betrayed our Lung Hing Society, I have to go to Golden Dragon Gate first to take a look. That's the industry that we rely on to support our business …
"It can't be snatched away by anyone, no matter who. Otherwise, it's a dead end."
Jiang Cheng bit his lip as he uttered these words. The ferocious expression on his face, which had not appeared for decades, could scare any child to death.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng raised his hand high and waved. "Driver."
The taxi that had just driven past Pu Xia Street and was about to go to the next street stopped.
The other party's reaction speed was unparalleled. If he could become Jiang Cheng's right-hand man, then the Lung Hing Society's strength would improve by leaps and bounds …
The taxi driver rolled down the window and stuck his head out to greet Jiang Cheng. "Little brother, where are you going?"
His face was old, and the wrinkles on his face were the result of the passage of time. The merciless passage of time on his body.
The marks left behind by time.
But fortunately, the passage of time had only taken away the green on his face, but it had given him a peaceful expression. Every word that came out of his mouth made people feel warm …
The moment Jiang Cheng stuck his head out from the driver's window, he dispelled his previous thoughts. Their Lung Hing Society was still a young gang, they did not need an old man with a rich resume for the time being …
However, Jiang Cheng had a good impression of the driver. After all, his peaceful expression gave people a good impression.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and jogged over. "Driver, take me to Golden Dragon Gate Bar."
Under Jiang Cheng's feet, the dozens of meters of distance became a few meters of distance.
There was only one reason, his flying legs were too powerful … In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the driver.
The driver opened the back door, his peaceful face smiling. "No problem, little brother."
Jiang Cheng flung open the car door and sat down.
It was not far from Pu Xia Street to Golden Dragon Gate.
It was only two kilometers away. Jiang Cheng first took out his wallet and muttered, "Luckily I brought some change …"
The taxi industry here had an extremely strict requirement, and that was that every passenger had to bring their own change. They did not support online payment at all.
If you continued to ask them for the reason, they would say that it was the company's request, and they could only comply.
If such a rule was applied in any other first-tier city, this company would probably collapse.
The company would collapse, and it would collapse to the very end … Which commercial company wouldn't accept online payment? This was too low.
"Driver, how much does it cost to go to Golden Dragon Gate?" Jiang Cheng looked away from his wallet and asked the kind-looking driver.
The driver glanced at Jiang Cheng through the rearview mirror, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. "What's wrong, little brother?"
"You didn't bring enough money?"
This driver, who had a friendly face, could actually see through Jiang Cheng's thoughts at a glance … Although it wasn't completely accurate, it was still very impressive!
Jiang Cheng replied, "Mm … I don't know if it's enough."
"Oh." The captain exhaled, and raised his head slightly. "It's fine."
"Our company's rules should be changed. It's been a few decades, how can we not keep up with the times?"
"Really?" Jiang Cheng felt a little incredulous. A driver actually had the idea to change the company's rigid rules. He was just a subordinate! He had no authority at all.
"How are you going to change it?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
"Little brother, you can just transfer the money to me online, I have a lot of cash here." The kind-looking driver took one hand off the steering wheel, and pulled open the drawer below.
There were two big bundles of cash inside …
But they were all one yuan. If it was shiny money, then this kind-looking driver could be said to be a real person … a local tycoon.
"It's like this." Jiang Cheng nodded as if he understood something. The driver was talking about changing the company's rules, so it turned out that he had to accept online transfers from customers, and then pay the company in cash …
After that, Jiang Cheng did not continue to chat with the driver, but turned his attention to the scenery outside …
It was not really scenery, it was almost all buildings, even the peak of the Boundless Mountain in the distance was only visible from afar.
