Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  In the following days, Lan Jie took Yi Jun on a stroll around the streets to inspect. She visited three KTVs that were not doing well and wanted to transfer ownership, repeatedly comparing them. Only now did she suddenly realize that although she had many friends, there were only a few who could be trusted and relied upon. Except for the man by her side, the rest made her uneasy.

  Lan Jie was indeed a force to be reckoned with. She said that after the new store opened, she would directly give Yi Jun 10% of the shares, as long as Yi Jun put in some effort. Not to mention anything else, at least Lan Jie was going to invest 1.5 million yuan, which meant that she had already given Yi Jun 150,000 yuan worth of shares for free. As for how well the store would develop in the future, it all depended on luck.

  Yi Jun said it was unnecessary, just having a stutter would do. But Lan Jie laughed and said this was to motivate the first employee who joined her team - this was the most senior employee in her own store.

  However, Tang Qingqing was like a little tail, always lingering behind the two of them, not leaving their side. Yi Jun told her to hurry back to her aunt's house, but she refused to leave. And leaving her alone at home was clearly not reassuring either. So, it became a trio, with the little tail trailing behind the two of them, quite carefree. Sometimes when the two in front were deeply engrossed in conversation and ignored her, she would follow along without complaint, nodding her head and swaying to and fro.

  However, after a few days of contact, Tang Qingqing actually blended in. At least, her relationship with Lan Jie was very harmonious. Don't look at this girl's careless appearance, but her mouth is really sweet, calling out "sister" with great enthusiasm. Most of Lan Jie's sisters are doing that kind of business, and it's rare to have good sisters in reality. So, gradually, she actually treated the wild beauty as a younger sister.

  Slowly, the situation changed. Even if Yi Jun let Tang Qingqing leave, it was Lian Shuang who said to keep her, this little girl is quite miserable. After struggling at the bottom of the underground world for so many years, Lian Shuang understood the helplessness and bitterness of a weak woman the most.

  Then, Tang Qingqing's gratitude was like a surging river, and she wished she could treat Lian Jie as her own mother. Seeing her rolling around on Lian Jie's body with sticky strength, Yi Jun exclaimed that this little beauty indeed lacked maternal love.

  In the end, even Tang Qingqing's job was settled by Lan Jie. It was said that after the new store opened, as long as Qingqing was willing, she would be an assistant beside Lan Jie, doing some internal administrative work and whatnot. Qingqing had nothing to do anyway, so when she heard this, she happily agreed. As a result, this wild little beauty unexpectedly became the second oldest member of the new store.

  It's been almost a week, and Lian Jie finally settled on a KTV place on the outskirts of Jinwan District, not far from her home. The main reason is that this house has a very suitable decoration style, but it's just poorly managed, with three partners pulling each other down, which led to poor business. Lian Jie is confident that after taking over, she can turn it into a thriving place.

  The geographical location here is superior, right at the junction of Zhongshan District and Jinhaiwan District. Zhongshan District is undoubtedly the most prosperous urban area in the city, while Jinhaiwan District is a newly emerging urban area. The combination of the two is a promising hot land.

  Furthermore, as the saying goes "distant whoring and nearby gambling", operating some "open-minded" businesses in the most prosperous areas will often make some guests feel a little uneasy, even afraid of being recognized by their license plate number when parking. This is particularly evident among many public officials.

  Located at the junction of two city districts, it can eliminate some worries in this regard. As for the distance, in this era where there are more cars than rabbits, a few kilometers away is not a big problem. Those who want to find happiness with a belly full of passion don't mind driving their cars for another 10 or 20 minutes to find a comfortable nightclub.

  Another advantage is that Lian Jie has been rooted in Qi Ge's territory for two years, with a very detailed grasp of the customer base in Jinwan District. The location of this store is still in Jinwan, so as not to lose too many old customers.

  Of course, if you bring those old customers over, it's likely to cause Seventh Brother's dissatisfaction. The money on the table is limited, and if you grab a handful, others will have less. But that's just how business is - whoever has the ability earns the money. As long as Sister Lan doesn't openly go to chaotic KTVs to poach people, Seventh Brother can't say anything about it.

  ……

  "Finally, the location has been confirmed!" Lan Jie let out a sigh of relief. This major matter had taken a substantial step forward and was also the most crucial step. The entire transfer, 600,000 yuan, with the soon-to-expire rent to be renewed by Lan Jie, along with all the facilities inside, were handed over to her.

  The price is not high, as the interior decoration is quite good and it has been in business for less than a year, so basically everything is new. The main reason is that the three partners had a falling out, each wanting to wash their hands of it, so they're eager to sell. Sister Lan calculated that if she invests another 200-300 thousand yuan to renovate it a bit, it can basically be opened for business.

  At noon, Lan Jie pulled Yi Jun and Tang Qingqing to celebrate a little. In the afternoon, there were still serious things to do - to invite those people from the insurance company to sit together. Because the new store's personnel framework needs to be established as soon as possible, Dong Hu and others are at least considered members of the store - even if it's just temporary.

  As for the meeting place, it was at a fairly well-known barbecue square in Jinwan. Although not high-end, the food tasted good. More importantly, this was the first small gathering of her employees, and Lingshan didn't want to set the standard too high. It's easy to go from frugal to luxurious, but hard to go from luxurious to frugal. Besides, she had invited bodyguards to keep watch, not a few Buddhas to worship.

  "Jun Er, that little brat Dong Hu is just a fool, don't bother with him." Lan Jie naturally understood the unpleasantness between the two men and smiled, "At most it's just half a year, after that we'll go our separate ways. It's all for our business, sometimes don't take things too seriously."

  Yi Jun smiled: "Do I look like I'm bothered by him? This kid is just guilty in his own heart. He looks serious, but that eye of his should be dug out. Every time he looks at you, his eyes almost turn into a wolf."

  Lan sister laughed and didn't mind. In this underground circle, there were many men who coveted her beautiful body, she was already used to it. Including Dong Hu's little tricks, Lan sister also saw through them at a glance.

  Tang Qingqing was indignant, sipping her fruit juice and saying: "Another toad who wants to eat swan meat! Humph, except for Jun, no one is worthy of getting into bed with Lan!"

  "It's itchy, isn't it, little girl...". Although Lian Jie had a good attitude and could take jokes, being spoken to so seriously by Xiao Niu, and in front of Yi Jun, the "person involved", was still a bit embarrassing. Her face even turned slightly red, becoming even more lovely.

  Yi Jun chuckled and patted the back of Xiao Mei's head: "Hmph, brother didn't spoil you for nothing..."

  ……

  Three people were chatting idly in a barbecue square when a Mitsubishi Pajero stopped outside. Dong Hu, with an arrogant air about him, got out of the car with a swagger, as if his big feet touching the ground would stir up some commotion. Then, Guang Tou Xiao Zi and four other young men also came out, each looking very fierce.

  Yi Jun was a discerning person, able to see that the four bald men were also skilled fighters. He didn't dare say more, but one person taking on three or four others shouldn't be a problem. As for Dong Hu, who was tall and imposing, he wasn't an ordinary person either. It seemed that this bodyguard company really did have high-quality personnel.

  Just then, the five Han characters had an overwhelming presence, with a strong and domineering aura. Dong Hu led the way, with the four bald men flanking him on either side, walking towards Lian Jie and Yi Jun's table in an orderly manner.

  Tang Qingqing was a blunt person and immediately muttered "pretentious".

  However, Lan sister is doing big things, considering business, and nodded: "Dong Hu's reputation is great, no need to say. If you look at the last four, they are all good."

  Tang Qingqing was on a roll, unstoppable even by gods and ghosts. As the man trying to compete with Jun Ge for "Lan Jie's bed certificate" got closer and closer, Tang Qingqing became more and more uncomfortable. "Hmph, they've never seen whether they can actually fight or not. Whether it's a mule or a horse, only when it's pulled out will we know."

  Yi Jun smiled and said in a low voice: "Hmmm, someone will help you test their skills."

  "Who?" Lingshuang and Tang Qingqing were both taken aback at the same time.

  Yi Jun didn't say a word, seemingly unintentionally glancing at the dark corner of the barbecue square, smiling and drinking a beer, secretly laughing in his heart: You've been following me for half a day, you should also exercise your muscles.

  In the corner of the barbecue square, a man with a gloomy face was sitting there drinking by himself. His whole body exuded a cold aura, as if he were an unsheathed knife.
