Guo Jinbiao had money and was a nouveau riche [1]. He was arrogant and pretentious. He dropped by this time with his stretch limousine [2].
However, when he saw that he was only welcomed by an underling at the door, Guo Jinbiao’s face changed immediately. Aren’t Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan too full of themselves?
Then he said to Master Qi with a sullen face, “Master Qi, it seems that Bao Sanli didn’t put you in his eye. Did he just send an underling?”
Master Qi looked at the lights outside the car window, and Guo Jinbiao’s luxurious car. His throat moved but eventually, nothing came out of his mouth.
When I came out and mingled around, I had difficulty getting by to lead a group. It was nice to have enough food every day. What is it like now? These people who mingled in the underworld are so glamorous, driving a luxury car, holding beautiful women, going in and out with a group of underlings around…
Although Master Qi’s position in the underworld was quite high, Master Qi was poor. Indeed, he was really poor! He retired in 1983! At that time, there were ten thousand yuan in his hand.
In the past eight years, what was the salary of an ordinary worker at that time? The concept of ten thousand yuan per household was introduced in the 1990s. At that time, when a person had ten thousand yuan in deposit, the person was considered powerful! It could be considered rich!
But now, ten thousand yuan was really nothing! Indeed, it couldn’t even afford a corner house! Looking at those latecomers, even an ordinary underling earned more than him. Master Qi was stunned, and he was lost!
Although the underworld had respect for Master Qi, what was the use of it? His life was still poor. He could only derive fun from underworld disputes and mediate them, and then accept some offerings.
Over time, Master Qi also began to be biased. He would help the side which gave more money. Fortunately, there weren’t particularly big conflicts. Most people respected him as an old man and didn’t mind him.
This time, Guo Jinbiao promised to give Master Qi 500,000 yuan after the event. Master Qi was immediately tempted! 500,000 yuan! Hey, those who mingled in the underworld now are really rich. In the past, earning a few thousand yuan was enough!
However, it was obvious that Master Qi had also noticed it this time. This Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan didn’t buy it. Most likely I won’t be getting the 500,000 yuan!
Even if I can’t get it, I have to fight for it. With no way to go about it, Master Qi could only visit the Nightless Club with Guo Jinbiao for a second time.
When he first came, Bao Sanli also greeted him with enthusiasm. But after Master Qi told him Guo Jinbiao’s conditions, the faces of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan immediately turned sour. Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan shooed him away without even sending them.
This time around, it seemed to be tough! Master Qi looked at Guo Jinbiao beside him and shook his head. Ai, for the sake of 500,000, my reputation has been completely tarnished by this guy!
“Master Qi, welcome!” The underling got Hou Zhenhan’s instructions. He was still very respectful to Master Qi, but he wasn’t so respectful to Guo Jinbiao. “Boss Guo, welcome also!”
” Hmph !” Master Qi didn’t say anything, but Guo Jinbiao snorted and asked, “Where is Bao Sanli? Let him welcome me!”
“Boss Guo has a VIP with him so he can’t come.” The underling replied coldly.
“Where is Hou Zhenhan?” Guo Jinbiao rolled his eyes.
“President Hou is also accompanying the VIP!” The underling replied with a so-so attitude.
“F*cker, don’t you see that Master Qi is here?” Guo Jinbiao was angry this time, “Which guest can be more honorable than Master Qi? Motherf*cker, aren’t Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan disrespecting Master Qi?”
“Boss Guo, please be mindful of your words.” The underling glared at Guo Jinbiao. “You have no say with President Bao and President Hou!”
“F*ck, you think you’re capable, right? Such a petty character like you have no say to my words!” Guo Jinbiao scolded, “What are you? Do you dare to comment on me? F*ck your mother!”
Guo Jinbiao extended his hand to slap this underling, but a large group of people rushed out in a commotion all of a sudden, holding iron sticks in their hands, staring at Guo Jinbiao.
The four bodyguards brought by Guo Jinbiao also quickly stood guard in front of Guo Jinbiao.
“Okay!” Master Qi said, “Give me some face. Jinbiao, don’t be impulsive in someone else’s territory!”
“Alright, I will give face to Master Qi!” Guo Jinbiao pretended to be generous. In fact, he was anxious deep down in his heart. This is someone else’s territory. My four bodyguards are useless!
“Dumb*ss!” The underling from before sighed and said to the man behind him, “Then, we’ll give face to Master Qi!”
Guo Jinbiao followed Master Qi resentfully and went to the upstairs conference room. When he didn’t see Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli, he asked impatiently, “We are all here. How come Bao Sanli is not here yet?”
“Did your ears get chopped off by your mother?” The underling who poured the tea for the two of them shouted directly after hearing Guo Jinbiao’s words. “Didn’t I tell you just now that Brother Bao and Brother Hou are accompanying a VIP?… Then, Master Qi, please have some tea…”
“Okay, okay… thank you…” Master Qi was also strong in appearance but weak in reality. He only had the fame now, nothing else. Therefore, at this time, when he noticed the negotiations between the two groups weren’t going well, he didn’t dare to say anything more. As a result, he was just taking his time drinking his tea.
” Oh , I wondered who was coming. Isn’t this Master Qi!? Welcome!” At this time, Bao Sanli just came in and saw Master Qi. He spoke with enthusiasm and ignored Guo Jinbiao directly.
Hou Zhenhan accompanied Yang Ming, walking next to him as they followed Bao Sanli.
Yang Ming went directly to the master seat in the conference room and sat down. However, when Yang Ming sat down, Guo Jinbiao, who was drinking tea on the sofa, was immediately reluctant. He pointed at Yang Ming and said loudly, “Bao Sanli, what do you mean by this? The master seat should be reserved for Master Qi. Who is this guy?”
Bao Sanli ignored Guo Jinbiao but said to Master Qi, “Master Qi, I don’t think you want to get yourself involved with this matter… You are already an elder. *Cough ,* if the incident becomes intense, I’m afraid your heart won’t be able to withstand it!”
“Motherf*cker, Bao Sanli, you’re too full of yourself!” Guo Jinbiao stood up in an instant, “How did you speak to Master Qi? What getting involved? Master Qi had always been the old and respectful senior for those who mingled in the underworld!
“When there are conflicts, it is natural to find Master Qi to act as the mediator of the underworld. This has become the rule of the underworld. Do you want to destroy this rule and be the enemy of all the gangs in the province?”
Guo Jinbiao’s words were quite serious. He suddenly turned Bao Sanli into a person who violated the unspoken rules, turning him into an enemy of all the gangs in the province.
“Rules? Who set the rules? Did you set it?” Yang Ming suddenly sneered, “This place is Song Jiang. It isn’t Jidun. I don’t think your rules work here! If you act arrogantly again, would you believe that I won’t let you go back to Jidun?”
“What? Who the hell are you?” Guo Jinbiao yelled after hearing it. “This rule was set by Sun Hongjun. Brother Sun is the boss of our provincial capital, Donghai. Why? Do you want to go against him?
“Let me tell you this. You don’t have to scare me. It’s useless! I, Guo Jinbiao, have experienced lots of things. When I was out mingling around, you were still wearing open-crotch pants [3]!
“Since I came here this time, I’m not going to go back empty-handed! No matter if you like it or not, you have to agree to my conditions! Don’t think that I’m talking big. As I dare to say this, I naturally made ample preparation. Do you still want to threaten me? That is ridiculous!
“I have already spoken to Brother Sun of Donghai. If you don’t agree, then wait for our two gangs to punish you!”
In fact, Guo Jinbiao was also a bit uneasy, so he deliberately exaggerated the facts. He felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right today ever since before. Never mind the attitude of the underling from before. After that, he didn’t know the background of the young man who came along with Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. Moreover, Guo Jianbiao noticed their intention to keep him there.
Guo Jinbiao was also a little scared! Therefore, he had to use Donghai’s Sun Hongjun as a shield because Sun Hongjun’s power was the largest in the neighboring cities!
If Sun Hongjun was involved, he believed that Bao Sanli wouldn’t dare to do anything to him!
However, these words were just his bluffing. Although he had mentioned this to Sun Hongjun before, Sun Hongjun’s attitude was ambiguous. Sun Hongjun didn’t express his support to Guo JinBiao, nor did Sun Hongjun expressed disagreement to it.
Guo Jinbiao also understood that Sun Hongjun wanted to sit and watch the fight. He would get along with the side which won. After all, Sun Hongjun didn’t intend to get involved with the mess.
But there was no need to pay tax for bragging, so Guo Jinbiao simply fabricated the story…
” Hahaha … That is too funny…”
