"Chen Jianghe?"
"Kid, you've got some guts. To be able to take out Li Jindi, no wonder you dared to mess with my people!" Lai San reacted, realizing this kid was Chen Jianghe.
As for Li Jindi, whether he went back to his hometown or was buried, he didn't care at all.
The most important thing now was that Li Jindi's game hall no longer had anyone backing it.
"What do you want?"
Chen Jianghe asked directly.
"Li Fei's Achilles tendon was severed by you, so I won't waste words. Give me one hundred thousand yuan, and this matter will be resolved!" Lai San didn't waste words either; he immediately demanded one hundred thousand.
"Lai San, one hundred thousand is enough to bury you twice over!"
Chen Jianghe said coldly.
"You little punk, are you trying to be tough with me?"
Lai San was a bit angry. A little punk, with no connections or background, thought that just because he took down Li Jindi, he could act tough in front of him?
"Heh heh!"
Chen Jianghe sneered, reaching out to hang up the phone.
"Alright, kid, you've got guts, but it won't be easy to get a firm footing on North Street. Wait until I find you, and we'll have a good chat!"
After Lai San finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
"Brother, what did Brother Li say? Is he going to cripple that kid?"
At the North Street Billiard Hall, a tall, thin young man walked over.
Early in the morning, there weren't many people in the Billiard Hall, only three or four thugs tidying up the billiard tables.
"Li Jindi was probably taken care of. Now Chen Jianghe is running his game hall. This kid has some ability; after being locked up for a few years, he actually managed to take down Li Jindi!"
Lai San took a puff of his cigarette and smiled strangely.
Three years ago, Chen Zhiming was also a well-known figure on North Street. He was good at fighting and had about ten men under him. He wasn't a big shot outside North Street, but within North Street, he was someone important.
Three years ago, Chen Zhiming was hacked to death, and Chen Jianghe went to prison. People on North Street originally thought the matter was over, but they didn't expect Chen Jianghe to resurface three years later.
As soon as he returned, he reclaimed the game hall.
Over these three years, Yonggui Game Hall had grown bigger and bigger, and many people coveted it, but due to Li Jindi's influence, other thugs on North Street couldn't take it over.
Now the situation was different.
If he, Lai San, got his hands on this piece of meat first, it would be his.
"That kid took out Li Jindi?"
Li Dayong was startled. "Brother, what should we do? That kid crippled my brother; we can't just let this go!"
This tall, thin young man was Li Fei's older brother, Li Dayong.
"I definitely need to think about this. Later, gather everyone and come with me!"
Lai San stroked his chin. Asking Chen Jianghe for some money, those small sums, he no longer cared for.
He was thinking of using this opportunity to get his hands on Yonggui Game Hall.
"Jianghe, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you!"
Early in the morning, Zhang Peng got up in high spirits. Working with Chen Jianghe, life had hope, and he was more proactive than anyone.
"I need to go out later. I'll eat on the way. You eat by yourself!"
Chen Jianghe tucked his briefcase under his arm, ready to go out and handle the game hall's paperwork first.
"Alright!"
Zhang Peng nodded and pulled open the rolling shutter door.
"Brother Peng, Brother Chen!"
As soon as the door opened, Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing, who were waiting outside, quickly threw away their cigarettes and stood up, nodding to Zhang Pengand Chen Jianghe.
Several cigarette butts were discarded on the ground; they had been waiting for a while.
"Come in, come in!"
Chen Jianghe nodded, inviting the two in. "From now on, the two of you will still be responsible for scoring and managing the hall at the game hall. Your monthly salary will increase to one thousand, Brother Pengwill get two thousand, and if you handle tasks, you'll get additional payment!"
"Thank you, Brother Chen, thank you, Brother Chen!"
Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing's eyes lit up, incredibly excited.
In those days, working in illegal factories, day and night, the monthly salary was only about a thousand yuan, and if you slacked off a bit, the salary would decrease.
Even being a mistress to those Hong Kong men who came from Hong Kong to drive trucks, one could only earn one or two thousand yuan a month.
They used to follow Li Jindi and only got six hundred a month, Chen Gang got fifteen hundred. Chen Jianghegiving them a thousand a month was already a lot.
Not to mention getting extra money for handling tasks.
Following Chen Jianghe was indeed more promising than following Li Jindi.
"Jianghe, two thousand yuan is too much!"
Zhang Peng, however, was startled and quickly shook his head. He had heard that only high-level white-collar workers in commercial district office buildings earned that much.
He was uneducated and lacked ability, so why should he get so much?
"You're the manager, two thousand yuan is not too much!"
Chen Jianghe shook his head, gave an instruction, "You arrange for the two of them to work. I'm going out. If anything happens, call this big brother phone!"
Chen Jianghe pointed to Li Jindi's big brother phone, took the big brother phone, and went out, driving to Tang Aiguo's house.
"Oh, Little Chen is here, come in and sit!"
When Chen Jianghe arrived at Tang Aiguo's house, Tang Aiguo's wife opened the door.
Tang Aiguo's wife was in her early forties, dressed very fashionably, adorned with gold and silver, and quite fond of showing off.
When she saw it was Chen Jianghe and noticed he was carrying something, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Auntie, I'm here to see Uncle Tang!"
Chen Jianghe walked into the house and casually placed his briefcase on the tea table.
"Your Uncle Tang isn't working today; he's still asleep. Wait a moment, I'll go wake him!"
The middle-aged woman enthusiastically made tea for Chen Jianghe, then turned and went into the room to call Tang Aiguo. In a few minutes, Tang Aiguocame out in his pajamas.
"Jianghe, you're here so early, you haven't eaten yet, have you!" Tang Aiguo saw Chen Jianghe visiting so early and knew it must be important. He turned to the middle-aged woman and instructed, "Go to Old Man Wei's place and buy some Cheung fun and shrimp dumplings. Jianghe and I will fill our stomachs together!"
"Little Chen, then you sit. I'll go buy breakfast!"
The middle-aged woman smiled, said a word to Chen Jianghe, and turned to leave the door.
"Jianghe, coming so early, what's the matter!"
Tang Aiguo waved for Chen Jianghe to sit down. He brewed two cups of tea himself, pushing one towards Chen Jianghe.
"Uncle, Li Jindi and Shao Wan have returned to their hometown. Before they left, they returned the game hall to me, but they left in a hurry and didn't complete the paperwork. I'd like to ask you to handle it!"
Chen Jianghe took out the business license, property deed, and other items, placing them on the tea table.
"Returned to their hometown?"
Tang Aiguo looked at Chen Jianghe in surprise, not expecting that in just a few days, Chen Jianghe had settled Li Jindi and Shao Wan. The talk of returning to their hometown, such nonsense couldn't fool Tang Aiguo.
"That might be a bit troublesome. Since they're not here, these procedures aren't easy to handle!"
"Uncle, I know it's not easy, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you!" Chen Jianghe directly pushed the briefcase in front of Tang Aiguo, tapping on it twice with his finger.
"I'll handwrite a share transfer contract for you. I said before that I'd give you two shares, and I'll definitely give them to you!"
Chen Jianghe said, reaching for paper and pen.
"Jianghe, you're a man who does great things, so there's no need to write it. If I don't trust others, do I not trust you?" Tang Aiguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle the paperwork for you!"
