After leaving the hospital with Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan headed straight for the Prosperous Dynasty KTV.
For a small-time thug like Song Zhe, He Si was a good assistant to find him within a short period of time.
Upon arriving at the Prosperous Dynasty KTV by taxi, Xu Fan led Xia Xiaodie straight through the entrance.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, how, how did you come by?"
Last time, Xia Xiaodie and Guan Shimeng's best friend had her birthday party here, and Xu Fan had been here before; so upon entering the gate this time, the manager of Prosperous Dynasty immediately recognized Xu Fan.
Bowing and scraping, he came over to greet them with a sheepish smile, asking, "Are you here to sing? The best 'Heaven' room is currently available, do you want me to take you there now?"
He Si had previously instructed all his men to treat Xu Fan with respect, so the manager of Prosperous Dynasty was nearly showcasing the 'customer is God' philosophy to the fullest at this moment.
Xu Fan shook his head, saying, "Go inform He Si right now, I want to see two people, Song Zhe and Ma Rong."
"One hour, have them brought here, understand?"
"This?"
The manager was taken aback, wondering, could Song Zhe and Ma Rong possibly be Mr. Xu's honored guests?
"Yes, yes! I will carry out your instructions right away!"
There would certainly be benefits to handling this matter well, the manager didn't ponder over it much and immediately agreed with a forced smile.
Immediately, the manager arranged for his subordinates to entertain Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie in the best 'Heaven' room, while he himself went to find Dragon Brother, who He Si had assigned to oversee this venue.
Prosperous Dynasty was just one of He Si's many properties, and He Si couldn't possibly come here often; Dragon Brother was one of He Si's men, specifically tasked with keeping an eye on this place.
The manager then relayed Xu Fan's instructions to Dragon Brother.
"This..."
After pondering for a moment, Dragon Brother asked, "Are you sure that Song Zhe and Ma Rong are Master Xu's honored guests?"
"Absolutely certain!"
The manager declared earnestly, knowing that Xu Fan had definitely used the word 'please' just now!
"If that's the case, we must handle this matter properly..."
Dragon Brother was more aware of how much He Si valued Xu Fan than the manager did, thus he immediately treated this as a top priority.
"Which one of you has heard of these two people?"
He then asked his subordinates.
The underlings looked at each other, discussing amongst themselves, and soon a green-haired guy raised his hand and stood up.
"Dragon Brother, I do know these two people, but..."
"Hmm? But what?"
The green-haired man said, "I know this Song Zhe, he's just a low-level thug from Zijing Middle School territory, not particularly remarkable. He can't possibly be the person Master Xu is looking for, right?"
Regarding Song Zhe, the green-haired man thought, he was just trash, and it was tough to link him to Xu Fan.
Dragon Brother shook his head, saying, "We can't care about that now. Master Xu specifically asked to meet Song Zhe and only gave us an hour, so go ahead and bring him here first!"
"If not, we'll continue the search!"
"Ai, I'll go invite Song Zhe right now."
The green-haired man nodded and quickly agreed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel envious—what kind of damn good luck had Song Zhe fallen into, to have made acquaintances with someone as eminent as Xu Fan!
This guy was probably going to soar to great heights from now on!
...
These days, Song Zhe's life was nearly identical to before: hanging out with girls, collecting protection money, and living it up with his brothers.
If we must pinpoint a difference, it would be that he took a sum of money from a few guys at First Middle and then led people to break Shi Lei's legs.
In the past, if Song Zhe was offered money to do this, he wouldn't have any hesitation.
After all, he even snatched away Shi Lei's girl, so beating up Shi Lei wasn't really an issue.
But recently, Shi Lei seemingly acknowledged a boss from somewhere, a terrifying one at that.
Remembering the scene of his own beating, Song Zhe was still frightened.
Because of Shi Lei's boss, Song Zhe originally flat-out refused the job, but the money First Middle offered this time was just too tempting!
Unable to resist the temptation, Song Zhe eventually agreed, hoping for the best.
Now, Shi Lei had been sent to the hospital with broken legs, but his boss hadn't come looking for trouble, so the rock that was hanging over Song Zhe's heart finally fell.
Heh, what kind of bullshit boss, isn't he just a paper tiger? Can't even protect his own people, what a fucking waste!
Song Zhe cursed smugly, and then, hugging Ma Rong by his side, raised his glass and called out to his brothers, "Come on, drink up! It's on me tonight!"
"Song Zhe, living the good life, huh?"
Just as he was clinking glasses with his brothers, suddenly, a group of people walked over!
"Green! Brother Green!"
Upon recognizing the newcomers, Song Zhe gasped in surprise!
He had met Green a few times and knew that Green was one of He Si's men.
Song Zhe had always dreamed of joining He Si's ranks, but He Si's guys didn't give a damn about him.
Now seeing Green approaching him, he hastily went to greet them.
With his heart pounding in trepidation, he wondered, he hadn't offended them recently, had he...
"Heh heh, Brother Green, you... you're looking for me, what's up..."
Watching Song Zhe grovel like a fawning dog, Green was even more puzzled, thinking to himself how Xu Xian could have taken an interest in this guy...
Although he felt disgruntled, he had orders from Xu Xian, so Green didn't dare neglect him and said with a smile, "Song Zhe, don't call me Brother Green, just call me Xiao Green from now on."
"Green, Brother Green, don't scare me..."
Seeing Green's demeanor, Song Zhe almost peed himself, he had never been treated like this before...
"Song Zhe, I'm really not scaring you, you're going to rise high very soon..."
Green looked at Song Zhe enviously and said, "Right now, one of Si's honored guests has taken a liking to you, planning to promote you, do you get it?"
"Really?"
Song Zhe's eyes widened with excitement! He thought to himself, this is incredible! Is his family's ancestral grave spewing blue smoke or what!
"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you? Song Zhe, when you make it big, don't forget to give your brothers a hand."
Green said earnestly, figuring that if Song Zhe became a favored man by Xu Fan's side in the future and spoke positively of him, he might get promoted as well.
"Heh heh, heh heh, Brother Green, look at you talking like that, don't worry! If I really make it big, I'll definitely remember your kindness!"
Song Zhe said excitedly, nodding and asking, "So Brother Green, what do you need from me right now?"
Seeing his excited and confused look, Green couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He then explained, "Here's the thing, Si's guest is inviting you to the 'Tian' VIP room at Prosperous Dynasty, he wants to meet you."
"This! Right now?"
Song Zhe said, flustered, "I, I haven't prepared yet..."
"So are you going now or not?"
"Going, going, of course, I'm going!"
