"Huh? What do you mean?"

Qin Yang asked in confusion.

"Boss, to be honest, after I retired from the army, some of my brothers followed suit. Jobs are hard to find these days, and we don't really have any educational qualifications."

"Now some of them are working as waiters in restaurants, and others as security guards in neighborhoods. If the boss needs more hands, could you let them work for you?"

Zhao Hui recounted, realizing how difficult it was to find a job after retiring. He had learned a lot about military engineering, but those skills were not much use in society. What job would let you mess around with a gun or radar for no reason?

Many brothers had retired with him, and yet he couldn't even arrange jobs for them afterwards. Everyone needs to earn money to support their families, and Zhao Hui has always felt guilty about this—it's a thorn in his side.

"How many people do you have?"

Qin Yang's eyes flickered with joy. Although he didn't know why Zhao Hui had clashed with others and retired, the fact that he retired with a bunch of brothers following him indicated that Zhao Hui was a decent person. Since he was building his own team, the more capable people, the better.

"Besides me, there are five brothers. They're all strong men." Zhao Hui said.

"Great, if they're really skilled, I'll take them all. During the three-month probation period, the base salary is ten thousand. After passing the probation, their salary will increase," Qin Yang said.

"Thank you, boss!"

At this moment, Zhao Hui was truly grateful to Qin Yang. Not only did he heal his leg, but he also provided high-paying jobs for him and his brothers. At home, he had a younger sister about to take the college entrance exam, and university tuition would be no small expense. His parents were also getting older, and the family indeed needed money, as did his brothers, who needed to earn money to support their families as well.

"Call them all out, and I'll meet them," Qin Yang said.

"Alright, boss."

Zhao Hui took out a dilapidated phone, just as a group of people burst out from the alley.

Leading them were a man and a woman—the man was fat, and the woman wore heavy makeup. Zhao Hui didn't know these two, but Qin Yang did. They were Zhu Dafu and his girlfriend Xiaoli.

"Haha, I've been looking for you all day, and didn't expect you to be hiding in this shabby alley."

Zhu Dafu laughed loudly as soon as he came up.

"Yo, is this the help you found? They look sturdy enough, but where's that little beauty?"

Zhu Dafu glanced mockingly at Zhao Hui, then looked around. Not seeing the little beauty, he felt somewhat disappointed.

Taking care of this kid in front of that little beauty would be truly satisfying, and if he showed off his wealth a bit, maybe that little beauty would be his.

Hearing Zhu Dafu's words, Zhao Hui frowned. Seeing Qin Yang not speaking, he also kept silent.

Behind Zhu Dafu were some thugs holding sticks. Their outfits were very uniform, all wearing T-shirts with black skull prints, making it obvious they were trying to look like street thugs.

Baldy came with a few sidekicks to help Zhu Dafu vent his anger. Although Zhu Dafu said the other party was a high school student, he had to put on a show for the ten thousand yuan, even bringing a stick along.

However, when he saw that figure in the alley, Baldy's face turned extremely unpleasant.

"Baldy, it's this kid."

Zhu Dafu turned around, pointing at Qin Yang, and grinned obsequiously at Baldy, who was the leader among the thugs.

"Baldy, that little vixen isn't here, so you guys catch this kid for me. I want to slap him a few times," Xiaoli said cutely, but her eyes were filled with a strange pleasure as she looked at Qin Yang, eager to slap him hard.

"Haha, Baldy, we meet again. You're getting more impressive," Qin Yang smiled.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Baldy shivered with fear and immediately slapped both Zhu Dafu and Xiaoli with loud smacks.

Each got a slap, instantly knocking Zhu Dafu and his girlfriend Xiaoli out cold.

"Baldy, why are you hitting us?"

Xiaoli screamed in grievance.

"I'm hitting you, you blind fools! Do you think you can mess with Young Master Qin?"

Baldy shouted furiously. He still remembered the incident at the barbecue stand vividly, and Qin Yang's methods had made him somewhat terrified.

"Young Master Qin? Which Young Master Qin?"

Zhu Dafu's face swelled on one side, and his gaze fell on Qin Yang—a cold realization hit him. Was this kid the Young Master Qin Baldy was talking about?

"Did I hit a brick wall this time?"

Zhu Dafu thought miserably.

"You guys, drag these two out for me and beat them till their mother won't recognize them."

Baldy didn't bother explaining to Zhu Dafu and directly ordered his subordinates.

"Yes." Several thugs swarmed forward, hoisting Zhu Dafu and Xiaoli up.

"Baldy, you can't do this! You took our money!" Xiaoli screamed as two of Baldy's underlings grabbed her arms.

"Here you go!"

Baldy pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and threw it in their faces, then turned to Qin Yang with a sheepish grin.

"Young Master Qin, I really didn't know it was you. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare mess with you. Please believe me." Baldy quickly declared.

"Oh, is that so?" Qin Yang smiled.

"Yes, it's true. Young Master Qin, you must believe me. I've been sending people to the barbecue stall every day since then, and no one's dared to cause trouble there."

Baldy was a young man with ambitions and aspirations for progress. He didn't want to be a small-time gangster forever. The young man before him was not only skilled but also reportedly had connections with the secretary of the political and legal affairs commission in Yunshui City.

That was the head of the political and legal system! Ever since the barbecue stall incident, Baldy had been eager to follow Qin Yang but never had the chance. So, he deputized someone to watch over Qin Yang's family's barbecue stall every day.

"You've been watching over my family's barbecue stall all this time?"

Qin Yang was somewhat surprised, obviously not expecting that after being sorted out by him, Baldy would proactively help care for his family's stall. Baldy seemed to have some sense.

"Yes, after offending you last time, I've been wanting to buy you a drink, as an apology."

Baldy nodded emphatically, then smiled wryly.

"Hmm, well done. Considering you've helped look after my family's barbecue stall, I'll let today slide," Qin Yang said.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin."

Baldy quickly replied.

"So, about that drink, when would you be available?"

Baldy asked eagerly, sensing the young man's extraordinary potential, far beyond the ordinary. He wanted to hold onto this opportunity early.

"I'll contact you when I'm free."

Qin Yang smiled slightly, finding Baldy rather interesting; this drink was likely more than just a simple apology.

"Alright, great."

Baldy nodded repeatedly. Young Master Qin hadn't rejected the invitation, indicating there might be an opportunity to associate with him.
