26: Chapter 0026 Who are you?
Ye Xunhuan was a mystery to Ma Yingjun, who only knew that Brother Jiu held Ye Xunhuan in high esteem, having seen them drinking together on several occasions and even calling him Boss.
Whoever could make Brother Jiu feel wary and call them Boss must be someone Ma Yingjun didn’t know, but he was sure they were not someone he could afford to mess with.
“Little Ma is here, take a seat!” Ye Xunhuan said in a neutral tone.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Ma Yingjun didn’t sit down immediately but said uneasily, “Brother Huan, I didn’t know it was you, I…”
“Sit down and talk.” Ye Xunhuan interrupted Ma Yingjun softly, “You’re Brother Jiu’s spokesperson and a big player yourself.
What’s it going to be with you standing up!”
When he heard Ye Xunhuan’s words again, a look of gratitude appeared on Ma Yingjun’s face.
Ma Yingjun had climbed to his current position not just by his initiative but also his superior intellect; he could certainly tell that Ye Xunhuan was giving him face and allowing him to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates.
Ma Yingjun did not hesitate further and promptly took a seat beside Ye Xunhuan.
“Yu Rou said the spicy hot pot here is very good, and I tried it too, indeed it’s tasty.
“Thank you, Brother Huan!”
Upon hearing Ma Yingjun’s words, a smile appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face, “Boss, another bowl of spicy hot pot, please!”
As his words fell, Ye Xunhuan looked at Ma Yingjun and asked casually, “What has Little Jiu been busy with lately?”
“Acting in a play!” Ma Yingjun replied truthfully.
Hearing that Little Jiu was acting in a play, Ye Xunhuan burst out laughing, “Have you listened to it?”
Ma Yingjun nodded truthfully.
“Did he even force you to give a review?”
Ma Yingjun nodded again.
“Don’t you feel like crying without tears every time you hear him sing?”
“I feel a rush to kill myself.” Ma Yingjun recalled Brother Jiu’s voice, and his body couldn’t help but shudder.
Although Brother Jiu was formidable, to tell the truth, he really wasn’t cut out to be an actor; his acting was life-threatening, yet he loved to perform and even forced Ma Yingjun to listen and review afterward.
Each time, Ma Yingjun felt like dying.
It’s good enough I didn’t die on the spot when you asked me to review.
If it weren’t for the fact that Little Jiu was the boss and very powerful, Ma Yingjun would have probably hit him long ago.
“Next time I’ll talk to him and tell him not to bother you anymore.”
When Ma Yingjun heard Ye Xunhuan’s words, his face instantly lit up with excitement, “Brother Huan, thank you!”
If there was anyone in Jiangzhong City who Little Jiu would listen to, it was definitely Ye Xunhuan, Ma Yingjun could guarantee that with confidence.
“Brother Huan, I really didn’t know it was you this time, If I had known Kang…”
Ye Xunhuan gently waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, it’s better he found you, it saves me some trouble!”
While Ye Xunhuan and Ma Yingjun were talking, the spicy hotpot had already been served.
Seeing the spicy hotpot being served, Ye Xunhuan said casually, “You eat slowly, Yu Rou and I have some things to attend to, so we’ll leave first!”
As Ye Xunhuan snapped his fingers, he said, “Boss, check please!”
Just after Ye Xunhuan had spoken, a somewhat overweight and seemingly honest middle-aged man approached, “Sir, it’s my fortune that you and Brother Ma chose to eat at my place.
How could I possibly take your money?
“It’s not easy for you to run a business, I can’t just eat and run…”
“Just tally up the bill if you’re told to, cut the chatter.” Ma Yingjun glared fiercely at the owner of the hot and spicy soup shop.
Frightened by Ma Yingjun’s glower, the owner quickly responded, “Thir…
“Yu Rou, pay up!” Ye Xunhuan glanced at a slightly dazed Tang Yurou and said, “You said you’d treat, don’t tell me you’re backing out just because I ordered one extra dish?”
Everyone fell silent upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, while Tang Yurou snapped back to her senses, quickly pulled out her wallet, and gave the owner thirty yuan.
“Take your time.” Ye Xunhuan patted Ma Yingjun on the shoulder and added, “I’m off first!”
“Brother Huan, take care!”
Subsequently, without saying much else, Ye Xunhuan left the place with Tang Yurou.
On seeing this, everyone became extremely curious about Ye Xunhuan.
Who was this man who could make even Brother Ma submit to him?
Could it be the legendary Little Ninth Brother, often heard of but never seen?
Just after leaving the hot and spicy soup shop, Ma Yingjun’s expression immediately darkened, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Sitting with Ye Xunhuan had made Ma Yingjun extremely uneasy; it felt like sitting with a tiger, constantly on the verge of revealing its fierce fangs.
This feeling was incredibly precarious yet undeniably real.
Now that Ye Xunhuan had left, the pressure instantly dissipated.
Even though Ye Xunhuan hadn’t said anything or blamed him, Ma Yingjun knew that if today’s incident reached Little Ninth Brother’s ears, Little Ninth Brother would definitely deal with him.
This made Ma Yingjun inwardly curse Kang Wenyuan and Kang Huaiyuan with vehement hatred.
Fucking hell, you actually offended Little Ninth Brother’s boss, even dared tell me to stand up for you, even said it’s just a minor employee, even fucking eyeing Tang Yurou, are you fucking asking for death?
“Bring people here!” Ma Yingjun commanded coldly.
“Find Kang Wenyuan and Kang Huaiyuan, cripple them,” Ma Yingjun said coldly.
“But Kang Wenyuan is…”
“I’ll take the blame for any issues,” Ma Yingjun narrowed his eyes, “Also, pass the word down, from now on, everyone better be polite to that lady we just saw.
Anyone who dares offend her, I’ll skin you alive!”
Although Ma Yingjun didn’t know the exact relationship between Tang Yurou and Ye Xunhuan, he guessed it must be extraordinary; otherwise, why come to eat hot and spicy soup?
Poor Kang Huaiyuan and Kang Wenyuan were still eagerly waiting for news from Ma Yingjun, unaware that he had already targeted them.
After leaving the hot and spicy soup place, Tang Yurou slowly came back to her senses and her gaze towards Ye Xunhuan slowly changed.
It was no longer as calm as before, but now contained a hint of fear!
Although Tang Yurou was a well-behaved girl, it didn’t mean she didn’t know anything.
Recently, Little Ninth Brother had become quite famous in Jiang City, everyone was discussing him, and she too had heard some things about him.
Moreover, she knew that the man known as Brother Ma in Jiang City was Little Ninth Brother’s representative, always very arrogant, never courteous to anyone.
Yet, he was so respectful towards Ye Xunhuan.
