74: Chapter 73: Take a Stand!

“Do you want to find a place to sit?” Fang Yi asked first.

“Sure,” Bai Jingjing said with a half-smile, “Let’s sit.”

“And her…” Fang Yi gestured towards Zhu Li.

At the moment, Zhu Li’s face was pale with fear, having already forgotten the slap from Fang Yi, her heart filled with terror.

Particularly because of Bai Jingjing, who put great pressure on Zhu Li, making her feel terrified.

Bai Jingjing glanced at her and said indifferently, “Do whatever you want with her.”

Fang Yi smiled and said, “Okay.” He gave Zhu Li a few odd looks.

Zhu Li immediately felt a chill down her spine, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.

…

They found a quieter spot, Fang Yi and Bai Jingjing sat facing each other, with Meng Wei sitting not far away.

“Why are you interested in me?” Fang Yi asked.

“What do you mean?” Bai Jingjing countered.

Fang Yi said, “Uh…

no need to beat around the bush.

If you’re interested in me, no problem, rolling in the sheets with a beauty like you, I’d be more than happy.”

“Sorry, you’ve misunderstood,” Bai Jingjing said.

Fang Yi laughed, “Then it seems you admire my abilities.”

Bai Jingjing nodded and said, “Why are you working here?

I remember you were Shen Binan’s bodyguard.” Since being stunned by Fang Yi’s connections at the auction, Bai Jingjing had grown curious and had him investigated.

Fang Yi laughed, “A president’s bodyguard doesn’t earn much, I need money.”

“Urgently?”

Fang Yi said, “Not really.”

Bai Jingjing understood and said, “Well then, from now on you can look after the Blue Cloud Bar for me.

You can take ten percent of the profit from the bar every month.”

Fang Yi said, “According to my estimates, your bar probably earns about two million a month.

After deducting costs like labor and beverages, the net profit’s just over a million, and if I take ten percent of that, can I consider that you want to keep me as a ‘kept man’?”

Bai Jingjing was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “I would actually like to keep you, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t want to be a pretty boy.”

Fang Yi said, “Who says I wouldn’t?

I can do laundry, cook, warm the bed; I can do everything.

Just keep me, and I guarantee it’s a good deal, and…

I can also offer a discount.” He was completely marketing himself.

Bai Jingjing, speechless, said, “What do you think, do you have the guts to take it on?” She brought the conversation back.

Fang Yi said, “If I agree, does that mean I have to join the White Tiger Alliance?”

Bai Jingjing shook her head, “Not necessarily, I just think you’re quite suitable, just remember this favor.”

And Fang Yi felt much better about this arrangement, knowing there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and certainly suspicious of Bai Jingjing helping him for nothing.

“Alright, since Miss Bai has said so, then I have to take it,” Fang Yi replied, agreeing to the proposal.

Bai Jingjing smiled slightly, “I’ll instruct Meng Wei to speak to Li Guang about it later.”

After the conversation ended, there being nothing else to discuss, Bai Jingjing got up and left.

Fang Yi lit a cigarette and smoked as he saw Zhou Qing and Jiang Tao coming over.

Fang Yi frowned slightly.

Jiang Tao immediately rushed over, concern in his voice, “Brother Fang Yi, are you alright?”

Fang Yi smiled, “Do I look like I’m in trouble?”

Jiang Tao: “Uh…”

Fang Yi said, “Jiang Tao, I would like to have a private chat with Sister Zhou.”

Jiang Tao detected displease in Fang Yi’s words and awkwardly smiled as he left.

Zhou Qing then approached and said, “Actually, Jiang Tao is a decent person.”

Fang Yi replied, “Yeah, he is quite decent, pursuing benefits and avoiding harm, which is human nature.

However, since he considers himself your friend, Sister Zhou, where was he when you were harmed?”

Zhou Qing felt somewhat touched and softly said, “Fang Yi, thank you.”

Fang Yi smiled and said, “I’ve said it before, Sister Zhou, I consider you a friend.

It’s only right to go through thick and thin for a friend; don’t keep saying thanks.

If you keep this up, we might not even be able to stay friends.”

Zhou Qing smiled and said, “By the way, I remembered something, that male student wants to meet you.”

…

The male student appeared to be a university student from his looks.

When he met Fang Yi, he was somewhat excited with a storm raging in his heart.

Thinking about the decisive and stern demeanor of the man before him, the student felt somewhat intimidated yet exhilarated.

Fang Yi noticed the change in his expression and smiled, “Didn’t you want to meet me?

Why are you silent now?”

The male student snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, “Hello, my name is Luo Xin.

I’m a sophomore at the nearby Xihua University.

I am very grateful for your help, I…

I…”

Fang Yi said, “Just say what you want to say.”

“I want to follow you!”

“Huh?”

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow and said, “You want to follow me?”

Luo Xin seemed somewhat afraid of Fang Yi, but he firmly nodded and said resolutely, “Yes, I want to follow you!”

Fang Yi asked, “Why?”

Luo Xin replied, “I don’t do well in school, and I look very ordinary, but I’m often bullied, so I want to follow you.”

At school, Luo Xin was just an average university student with an ordinary family background, the type whose performance wouldn’t rise with effort and could easily fall without it.

Such students, whether in university or high school, were often overlooked and underestimated.

This time, Luo Xin had finally managed to bring a girl to the bar to seek some excitement, but unexpectedly found himself coerced.

If it hadn’t been for Fang Yi’s intervention, his fate that night could have been very embarrassing.

Observing Fang Yi defeating two bouncers, especially during his encounter with the bald Ma Feng, seeing that commanding and domineering side ignited something in Luo Xin, making him want to follow Fang Yi.

He was just worried that the other might not agree, considering he wasn’t much to speak of.

Fang Yi said, “But I hadn’t planned on taking on any followers.”

Just as expected…

Luo Xin’s heart sank, a look of disappointment emerging on his face.

“However… it’s not impossible,” Fang Yi added.

Luo Xin’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly said, “As long as you let me follow you, I’ll do whatever you ask!

I’m sick of this kind of life!” He clenched his fists tightly.

As Fang Yi looked at the determined Luo Xin before him, he slowly nodded.

He suddenly remembered an assassin he had met abroad, named Lin Shang, a quiet, reserved fellow.

Fang Yi felt Luo Xin resembled him in some ways.

Fang Yi gave him a few instructions and sent him away.

Then, Fang Yi headed to the manager’s office.

As he entered, Li Guang came forward warmly.

Li Guang was extremely enthusiastic, saying, “Oh, Fang Yi, come, take a seat, I’ll pour you some tea.” He used the respectful “you,” clearly indicating his shift in attitude towards Fang Yi.

Fang Yi didn’t have a particularly bad impression of Li Guang.

He sat down as Li Guang brought over the tea.

Fang Yi took it and said, “Manager Li, no need for formalities.

We both work for Miss Bai now; we’ll be colleagues from now on.”

However, Li Guang responded seriously, “How can that be the same?

Fang Yi, you’ve been personally named by the Alliance Hierarch and are highly esteemed by him; I’m just a mere manager.

If there’s anything you need in the future, just a word, and I, Li Guang, will do everything I can!

From now on, in Blue Cloud Bar, I will only follow your lead.”

This was Li Guang’s declaration.

Fang Yi hadn’t expected Li Guang to be so perceptive.

He slightly smiled and said, “Well said, well said.”
