Chapter 108: Holding in a Fart Hurts the Heart
"Heh, little girl, you look so bright, but why are you so stubborn when you speak? Aren’t you afraid you’ll never find a husband in the future?"
Lin Zifeng took out a low-grade cigarette and smoked it with a squint.
Watching Lin Zifeng smoke the eight-yuan-a-pack cigarette called ’Little Zhonghua’ by the people of Zhonghai City, she immediately felt contempt. Tasteless people really are tasteless, even their choice of cigarettes is so counterfeit. At the very least, if you’re trying to look profound, you could at least have a bulging wallet. No matter how poor you are, buying a box of higher-grade cigarettes won’t kill you!
"Mind your own business! Whether I find a husband or not is none of your concern! And even if I were looking for a husband, I wouldn’t choose a defect like you! You look like a complete idiot, and now you’re trying to play the mysterious guy to pick up girls? Give it up and go home to sleep, will you?"
When Zhang Yuxuan said these words, she was almost deliberately trying to hit hard at Lin Zifeng.
Since that last incident, she thought he wouldn’t come again, but surprisingly he did.
The kind of man women hate the most is the one who pretends to be profound intentionally. Such people are utterly despicable, especially Lin Zifeng, who looked like a hoodlum the moment he opened his mouth.
Lin Zifeng was first taken aback!
He hadn’t expected this girl to be so indignant! Even if he was whatever, it surely wasn’t her place to trample on him like that? Moreover, after leaving tonight, who knew whether they would meet again tomorrow.
"Heh, that’s right, that’s right, you’re sharp with your words. But, you know?" Lin Zifeng lowered his head, grinning mischievously, "I wonder who it was that followed me to the men’s bathroom last time, trying to seduce me? Sigh! For a guy like me, without taste and without money, I’m just perplexed. Why would someone still try to tempt me? This taste, sigh..."
While speaking, Lin Zifeng also shook his head in a sighing manner.
Zhang Yuxuan glared at him furiously, struggling to speak out of anger. At the time, she merely wanted to test whether this guy was decent or not. Being as pretty as she is,
virtually every day someone would hit on her, but that day he was so prideful that he didn’t even acknowledge her, as though her invitation to him for a drink was her climbing up to his level,
Whenever she thought about it, Zhang Yuxuan felt it was a big stain on her life. Why on earth did she have to mess with this scumbag?
"You... Weren’t you just about to ask me something? An un-let fart is a risk to the heart—be careful!"
The naive frustration from the young girl made Zhang Yuxuan blush with anger. Well, that’s alright! In all these years, she had seen no shortage of thick-faced guys like him.
"Alright then! Let me ask you a question."
"Do you know why we open our store for business?"
Looking at the shimmering lights of the bar counter and the various neon-lit colors reflecting on Zhang Yuxuan’s innocent face, one couldn’t deny, this girl was indeed a beauty, with a pretty face and a figure to match,
but her curiosity was too strong, and she wanted to understand everything without the maturity of a woman like Nangong Bing.
"Isn’t that a stupid question? Of course we open the store to do business and attract customers."
Zhang Yuxuan wondered if there was something wrong with his brain? Everyone knew that stores open to do business and attract customers, did he really need to ask such a low-IQ question?
"So customers are gods then? That means they are like your parents, providing for you? Can I put it that way?"
Zifeng had an innocent smile on his face, causing Yuxuan to be a bit dazed, not sure what the guy was trying to say.
"Yes, so what? What are you trying to say?"
Although she didn’t feel like talking to Zifeng, her naive, adolescent curiosity got the best of her.
"Since customers are like our bread and butter, if your ’parents’ want a drink now, wouldn’t you serve it? Don’t tell me your place is out of alcohol,
that’s a lame excuse meant to fool ghosts. I don’t think you should use that as a pretext. Relax! I’ll pay for it."
Watching Zifeng’s smug smile, Yuxuan felt like her eyes were about to spit fire. This clearly put her at a disadvantage again, and the guy even got free drinks out of it. What thick skin! That was the only thought in Yuxuan’s mind at the moment.
"Hey! Brother Gao, what do you think of that bar girl? How does she look?"
At that moment, in a small soundproof and transparent private room not far from the bar, a bunch of unruly youngsters with various colored hair were eyeing Yuxuan lasciviously.
From inside the one-way glass, the leading man, barely in his early twenties, had a sharp, cunning look in his eyes, and was enjoyably sniffing a white substance from a slender tube off the table.
They had come from another city. Because the crackdown there was too strict, they had to find business in a new city, but this time, it seemed they had come to the wrong place.
The man squinted his eyes, revealing a lewd smile, thoroughly enjoying himself, "Not bad. We’ll pull her over later to join us for drinks. From her slutty demeanor, I bet she’s wild in bed.
After we’ve sold this batch, the boss will easily throw us a few million. With that kind of money, women like her will be ours to play with, won’t they?"
"You’re right, Brother Gao. But do you think this stuff is easy to sell? We’ve never really dealt in these things before, and the cops seem very sensitive about it, don’t they?"
The group of boys with flashy hair looked young, as if they had just graduated from school, but they were brimming with delinquent energy, giving off the air of social parasites. It’s not surprising, after all, society contains all sorts of people, especially naive students like them.
"Follow me, and money is the least of your worries. I handpicked you guys because you’re sharp and quick. Don’t ask too many questions; just focus on selling the goods. You’ll definitely reap benefits later."
The sharp-faced man was clearly more experienced than these students, having been in the underworld for years. Although he hadn’t personally experienced major events, he wasn’t ignorant either—he knew the ropes.
Their purpose for this trip was to bring some ’goods’ to Zhonghai City as per the big boss’s orders to check out the market here.
Those who really understand the underworld are shrewd to death and are even more cautious. Not getting his hands dirty and using these ’younger brothers’ as cannon fodder was undoubtedly the right move.
If the market here took off, it would mean another lucrative path, and once things were settled, sharing a bit with the cannon fodder wouldn’t be a big deal.
"Thanks, Brother Gao. Whatever you ask of us in the future, we’re willing to climb mountains and dive into frying pans for you!"
These so-called students, just having graduated, seemed to know too little about the world. No wonder they were easily used by others. In their eyes, as long as they could earn easy money, pick up girls, live comfortably, and show off, they were content, not realizing they were being led down a path to death.
