Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  The agreed location is on the second floor of Qingfeng Tea House. Lan said she has already arrived and asked Yi to come quickly.

  When Yi Jun and Tang Qingqing appeared in front of Lan Jie, Lan Jie was slightly surprised. She had seen Tang Qingqing at the scene of the car accident that day, but she did not expect this beautiful little girl to get mixed up with Yi Jun so quickly.

  Yi Jun was also a bit surprised, because beside Lian Jie sat a very sturdy man. Moreover, in Yi Jun's eyes, this person must be a good practitioner. Before, Yi Jun had never heard that Lian Jie had such a friend.

  "She's called Tang Qingqing, and she was being tailed by one of Gao Wei's underlings. I'm afraid something might happen to her, so I brought her over." Yi Jun said, then turned to Tang Qingqing and said, "Girl, go sit on the side for a bit and order something, I have some things to discuss with Lan sister."

  On the way, Yi Jun had already made three rules with Tang Qingqing, requiring her not to interfere with his own affairs. In response, Tang Qingqing did not show her usual arrogance. She also knew that after all, she was just following others and couldn't mess up everyone's important business.

  Tang Qingqing smiled at Lian Jie and then ran off, sitting down at a small table by the railing on the second floor, surprisingly obedient.

  Lan Jie glanced at Tang Qingqing's back and smiled: "What's going on, are you two already hooked up?"

  "What's wrong with that?" Yi Jun chuckled, "Actually, I still like the familiar taste of Lan Jie."

  It's all just joking around, no harm done, and they're both used to this kind of teasing anyway.

  However, the burly man next to Lan Jie let out a cold snort, seemingly disapproving of Yi Jun's frivolity. In this setting where three people were together, this cold snort was quite discordant.

  Lan sister smiled and said: "Let me introduce you. This is the Yi Jun I was talking about, my brother. Jun, this brother's name is Dong Hu. He is a few years older than you, just call him 'Hu Ge'."

  Facing this not-so-friendly burly man, Yi Jun did not return his gaze with hostility, otherwise he would have lost face. Moreover, this guy was still Lian's friend after all. "Tiger brother, my name is Yi Jun."

  As he spoke, Yi Jun stretched out his right hand.

  However, Dong Hu sat there casually, one hand picking up the tea cup in front of him, without any intention of shaking hands.

  Yi Jun's hand was suspended in mid-air, looking a bit awkward. But he didn't mind and smiled as he sat down beside Lan Jie.

  For such an awkward atmosphere, Lings sister also felt a bit awkward. But now is the time to discuss things, some small matters have to be put aside.

  It turned out that Dong Hu was from a certain bodyguard company in Jiangning City, and he was the number one master of this company. However, companies of this nature are generally informal, so their external names do not have the word "bodyguard", but are mostly named as "security companies". The underground world is an environment with diverse ecology, where there are ordinary forces, bodyguard companies, debt collection companies, and private detective agencies.

  The boss of this bodyguard company is also a friend of Lan's sister.

  At first, Yi Jun felt that if Lan Jie were to strike out on her own, she would lack the necessary power. Because Lan Jie's energy was actually "borrowed" from a big shot like Qi Ge. As someone who had been through many things, Lan Jie could see right through it, and as the person involved, she understood this point even more clearly than Yi Jun did.

  So she came up with a clever move, hiring a group of people from a bodyguard company. She had a good relationship with the boss of the bodyguard company and was willing to pay, so she hired Dong Hu to come over.

  This time, Lan Jie has made a big move. In addition to Dong Hu's exceptional martial arts skills, she also hired four bodyguards. In Lan Jie's plan, these people will be the core of her future bar's security team. As for the ordinary thugs who usually cause trouble, they can be recruited under the guise of security personnel and brought along by Dong Hu and his team. With Dong Hu and a few others as the backbone, the entire security system is now in place.

  Lan Jie didn't want to compete with others, but just let these people take care of their own affairs and deal with some ordinary troubles. So the strength should be enough. If there really are other big troublemakers coming to find trouble, Lan Jie is confident that she can still handle it with her past relationships.

  In Lian's opinion, there really isn't anything in this world that can't be accomplished with money.

  However, the cost of hiring Dong Hu and others is indeed not low. Hiring all five of them, even if they have nothing to do every day, Lan Jie has to pay the security company 50,000 yuan per month. Moreover, Dong Hu does not need to work every day, only when those four bodyguards are in trouble, then ask Dong Hu to show up - this is also a tacit understanding between Lan Jie and the boss of the security company, that boss also gives face to Lan Jie. Otherwise, just hiring Dong Hu as a full-time bodyguard would cost 50,000 yuan per month.

  Lan's family wasn't wealthy, and 50,000 yuan a month was no small sum. But Lan thought to herself that she could hire Dong Hu and his men for at most half a year, which would cost around 300,000 yuan to buy some peace of mind. After half a year, her bar would have accumulated a group of staff and taken shape. At that time, she could let Yi Jun lead those security guards. In the end, Lan still trusted Yi Jun the most.

  But Yi Jun felt that this was not appropriate. Handing over one's own safety to someone else didn't seem very reliable.

  "Renting a small building, the annual rent is only 2-3 million. The decoration costs are not small, but we can find a poorly managed KTV to take over, so the decoration costs will be much less." Lian Jie calculated and said, "Men go to nightclubs to have fun, after all, it's about which family has good service and high-quality girls. In this regard, we have 'core competitiveness'."

  So, the initial investment is around one million. Even if you add Dong Hu's commission, the budget will be controlled within 1.5 million. Lan Jie has been struggling in the nightclub for many years and can still come up with this cash. A club of this size is considered mid-to-high-end among KTVs in Jiangning City. If we consider Lan Jie's high-end lady resources, it's barely possible to squeeze into the high-end KTV circle. After all, Jiangning is only a second-tier city, and KTV is not a large nightclub.

  "This is going to be a last-ditch battle." Yi Jun smiled. In recent days, he had been talking freely with Lan Jie, and he knew that apart from fixed assets like houses and cars, she didn't have much cash on hand. In fact, in order to come up with 1.5 million, Lan Jie might even have to sell a small shop she had invested in.

  Lan sister smiled: "After struggling for so many years, it's time to think of a way to do something on my own. Whether I succeed or not is another matter, in any case, I want to give it a try. By the way, what do you think of this idea?"

  "Still the same: I'll listen to you." Yi Jun smiled slightly.

  ……

  Today's encounter was meant to let Yijun get familiar with Donghu, as they might need to interact for the next half year. However, the atmosphere of the meeting wasn't very harmonious, because Donghu's condescending attitude made Yijun not want to have much interaction. Of course, Donghu also didn't bother to chat with Yijun.

  After all, Dong Hu looked down on Yi Jun. In Dong Hu's view, Yi Jun was just a soft-rice eater stuck to Lan Jie's side. Moreover, Dong Hu had his own different thoughts in mind.

  Six months ago, when Dong Hu first saw the elegant and charming Lan sister, he felt a strange itch in his heart. It wasn't about love or affection, but purely a male's instinctual reaction to a female. However, this reaction was very strong - in fact, many males in the Jiangning underground world had Lan as their fantasy object. Dong Hu wasn't the first, and he wouldn't be the last.

  So, seeing Lan Jie trust Yi Jun so much also made Dong Hu naturally produce a strong sense of jealousy. As a result, Dong Hu developed an instinctive rejection and even hostility towards Yi Jun.

  Now that we've met, Dong Hu got up to bid farewell. As he walked out of the Qingfeng Tea House and into his Mitsubishi Pajero, a bald-headed young man who was driving immediately turned around with a smile and asked: "Brother Hu, how did the talk go?"

  Dong Hu snorted: "What's there to talk about? It's just a meeting with her future head of security. In the end, it's just letting us take on an 'apprentice'. Half a year later when he's ready, we'll hand over the security work to him."

  That bald driver sneered, with a sly smile: "Who asked that? We're asking you how things went with the beautiful Qin Lan. Hey, Tiger brother, don't deceive your brothers. Last time when you were messing around on top of 'Little White Cabbage', you were shouting Qin Lan's name in your mouth, I heard it from next door, heh heh."

  "Little rascal!" Dong Hu, sitting in the passenger seat, chuckled and slapped the back of the little bald-headed boy's head with a loud smack. "Drive your car! This afternoon, take care of some things, tonight... pick up Little White Vegetable and bring her to my place."

  It seems that the young lady known as "Little White Cabbage" is going to impersonate Lan Jie again. Dong Hu has had more than one woman impersonate Lan Jie, but only Little White Cabbage can mimic three parts of her charm. Especially when Little White Cabbage moans "Brother is so fierce, Ah Lan is almost killed by Brother" under his robust body, this beast will produce a kind of inexplicable blood boiling excitement.

  This approach is quite abnormal, but from this, it can also be seen that this sulky guy's covetousness towards Lian Jie is so deep and fervent.

  Thinking of Lan's seductive appearance, Dong Hu's lower abdomen couldn't help but surge with a flame. However, nowadays when thinking of Lan, Dong Hu would unconsciously think of the man by her side. Thus, the flames grew stronger, and so did the flames of jealousy. Dong Hu's face was unpredictable, changing like the weather.
