Fan Jian found it hard to believe deep down.
Qianqian had told him earlier that she worked as a cashier at a bar.
But now, she was a hostess at a KTV, also called a "Princess."
"Brother Fan, have a good time, enjoy yourself a bit more." Xiao Jiba said to Lin Hai and Fan Jian with a smile.
After hearing this, Fan Jian felt utterly disappointed with Qianqian.
Turns out, the woman he foolishly thought was his first love was just a girl serving drinks.
Qianqian had been feeling quite depressed today, never expecting that the guy she had snagged would turn out to be the legendary low-key rich second generation, which she deeply regretted.
Moreover, because she had impulsively chased after him, the man who intended to keep her also ruthlessly dumped her and even took back the bag worth thousands of dollars he had just bought for her.
Qianqian, having accomplished nothing, was pondering over finding another wealthy man when she came to work tonight and heard from the manager that Young Master Xiao had come to play, which excited her immensely. She thought if she could get close to Young Master Xiao, her life would be easy and carefree.
But as she entered the KTV, she suddenly felt a sharp and indifferent stare. Lifting her head, when she clearly saw who it was, she was utterly stunned.
"It's him!"
Qianqian never dreamt she would meet Fan Jian again.
The excited Qianqian wanted to throw herself into Fan Jian's arms immediately, but she realized that Fan Jian's gaze towards her was extremely cold, quenching the small flame of hope that had just ignited in her heart.
"Brother Lin, Brother Fan, you guys check first, I dare not steal a woman from you two big brothers." Xiao Jiba said with a laugh, but his tone was extremely respectful.
All the hostesses present weren't foolish; they knew that the one speaking, Young Master Xiao, was a major patron. If Young Master Xiao took a fancy to them and they established a good relationship, maybe they could hang around him for a while and make a lot of money.
After Xiao Jiba finished these words, the hostesses looked at him with eyes full of surprise and admiration, hoping to get acquainted with Lin Hai and Fan Jian who might not have striking looks but were addressed as big brothers by Young Master Xiao.
In this KTV setting, these girls all had eyes adept at reading people, deducing one's identity and strength from their phone numbers, conversation and behavior, clothes, and how their companions treat them, which becomes their primary choice of target.
Although Lin Hai and Fan Jian were both dressed as security guards, Xiao Jiba's unabashed flattering attitude earned them significant attention from the hostesses.
Qianqian also couldn't believe this scene, feeling even more certain that Fan Jian was an extremely low-key rich second generation with a powerful background, so much so that even Young Master Xiao, an untouchable figure in her eyes, was showing him such respect and politeness.
After these thoughts, regret surged again in Qianqian's heart for missing the chance to hook up with a top player.
"Fan Jian, you pick, I'm easy." Lin Hai said with a mild smile, tonight was mainly for letting Fan Jian have a good time and vent.
Immediately, the hostesses in the room started eyeing Fan Jian flirtatiously.
Qianqian was no exception; she fantasized that Fan Jian, remembering old times, would choose her. If that were the case, her life would soar.
Seeing Qianqian's eyes, Fan Jian shook his head. His eyes, initially despondent, closed, and his mouth corners unconsciously curled into a faint sneer.
He felt ridiculous for having once been so serious about a woman, especially one not worthy and just a companion hostess.
"You, you, you, and you, come here."
Fan Jian extended his hand, pointing at the second, third, fourth, and fifth prettiest hostesses in the room.
As for the prettiest one, he planned to leave her for his Brother Lin.
Lin Hai smiled, injuries from love needed time to heal, and the process was also a form of growth, making a person stronger.
The four ladies were momentarily stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic expressions, excitedly clustering around Fan Jian like chirping little birds, teasing and laughing with Master Fan.
At that moment, a spark of inspiration flashed in Fan Jian's mind, suddenly realizing that his many years of sleazy experience finally had a chance to shine.
Suddenly, all sorts of racy jokes were flying around, causing the accompanying hostesses to cover their mouths and giggle.
Fan Jian ignored Qianqian completely as if she were a stranger on the road.
Seeing this, Qianqian felt even worse than being slapped hard in the face.
Lin Hai didn't care; he considered such power-seeking women worse than green tea bitches.
Xiao Jiba also casually picked a girl. He was not focused on playing today but was interested in making friends with Lin Hai.
Qianqian was also chosen by one of Scar Bald's subordinates and she absent-mindedly drank with him.
Seizing the opportunity, Scar Bald toasted to Lin Hai and whispered, "Brother Lin, you are so skilled, are you interested in exploring other paths?"
Lin Hai shook his head: "Forget it, I don't like those paths of yours."
Scar Bald tactfully nodded, his face slightly disappointed.
Xiao Jiba was also a bit disappointed. In his view, if Lin Hai were willing to cover his subordinates, then within two years, a new rising force would surely emerge in Huadu's underworld.
Lin Hai thought for a moment, looked at Fan Jian who seemed indifferent amidst the crowd yet had a cold look in his eyes, and said to Scar Bald, "I'm not interested, but you can consider my brother!"
Xiao Jiba's eyes lit up, and after quickly weighing the options, he found this method feasible.
Though Fan Jian seemed useless, he was Lin Hai's brother. Just this connection alone meant that if Fan Jian became one of his men, Lin Hai would not stand by idly in times of trouble or development issues. His group would benefit and indirectly become Lin Hai's people.
Becoming Lin Hai's people also meant in the future, when those truly impressive playboys like Young Master Yu decided to move against his group, they would consider Lin Hai's influence and maybe hold back or make peace.
Thinking this, Xiao Jiba did not hesitate and rushed to agree ahead of Scar Bald: "Thanks, Brother Lin. My brothers and I will loyally follow Brother Fan from now on."
Lin Hai smiled lightly and asked Fan Jian, "Interested in being the boss of Scar Bald and Xiao Jiba?"
Fan Jian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shone intensely; he gritted his teeth, looked gratefully at Lin Hai, and nodded firmly.
"Alright, they are your men from now on," Lin Hai said lightly.
Fan Jian knew that getting involved with people like Scar Bald meant one foot in the coffin and the other in prison for life.
But he did not regret it, nor did he want to lose this precious opportunity.
To seek fortune amidst danger, and to avoid being scorned by women and mocked by nouveau riches, Fan Jian decided to seize this opportunity and bet his life for a lifetime of glory.
"Brother Lin, I will always be grateful for your kindness, forever unforgettable. I accept this path. As a poor man wanting to turn around his fate and not be oppressed, I must give more than others. Although I was cowardly before, if given a chance, I'm not afraid to die. In this life, I don't seek to be remembered in history, but to live a life of bold brilliance!"
Lin Hai smiled and nodded, speaking in an extremely complex tone, "I wish you early success, and maybe I can benefit too. But remember, don't bully the good and fear the bad, don't bully ordinary people, and don't get involved in drugs or human trafficking."
"Brother Lin, rest assured, I understand!" Fan Jian nodded immediately.
The group raised their glasses and burst into laughter.
Fan Jian, Scar, and Xiao Jiba probably never dreamed of what kind of person they were actually dealing with until many years later, standing at the pinnacle of Huadu's underworld, they came to a sudden realization and felt deep gratitude towards Lin Hai from the bottom of their hearts, but that's a story for another time.
After having some drinks, Lin Hai stood up, straightened his pants, and said to the others, "You guys have fun, I'm going to the restroom."
After leaving the KTV VIP room alone, Lin Hai was just about to enter the restroom when he suddenly heard a mix of men and women yelling.
"The nightlife is indeed colorful; some people are even fighting in the restroom." Lin Hai clicked his tongue.
With a bang, the restroom door was suddenly flung open by a strong force, a girl with her face covered and her clothes disheveled ran out crying desperately, followed by a rough swear from the restroom, "You little bitch, dare to run, you're looking for death!"
The girl looked terrified, slipped, and her high heels flew off, she twisted her ankle and fell helplessly to the ground.
Suddenly, the girl saw Lin Hai and her eyes conveyed a strong plea for help, "Big brother, please save me, I'm not a prostitute, I just want to earn some money for my mother's treatment. Big brother, I'm still a virgin, I don't want to be ruined by these bad guys, please, save me."
