Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 438: Super Commercial Complex

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Super Commercial Complex

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu!" Lu Xiao was musing when a shrill voice rang out.

Xu Ming?

Why is he screaming my name with such excitement early in the morning?

Nevertheless, Lu Xiao opened the door, and there was Xu Ming sprinting toward him: "I knew it, Brother Lu is no ordinary fish in the pond. Just one day here and you’ve already caught the Third Young Miss’s favor, 30,000 Divine Treasure as a monthly salary. Impressive!"

Xu Ming’s shouting also caught the attention of other guards.

A few guards in the yard who were chatting heard about the 30,000 a month and their eyes widened.

They only earn 5,000 a month!

The Brick Demon has only been here a day and he’s making 30,000!

But then again, the Brick Demon is quite fierce. Yesterday, he smashed up a bench and more than a dozen bricks in a terrifying manner.

Those five guys are still lying in the clinic today.

As for complaining to the mansion, those five didn’t dare. If they complained, it would expose their bullying of the newcomer into treating them to a meal. It would probably end up even worse for them, maybe even getting kicked out of Mansion Luo.

"Brother Lu, how did you do it?" Xu Ming had now reached Lu Xiao and his tone was quite chummy.

"Hey, just lucky, the Third Young Miss thought my getting beaten up looked pretty cool," Lu Xiao said with a laugh and wave of his hand.

I can’t very well say I smacked Luo Hanyi with a brick, can I?

After all, you have to show some respect when you’re in someone else’s home.

Xu Ming didn’t quite believe it, but he didn’t press on. He had that much tact.

"Here, Brother Lu, this is your first month’s salary. The Third Young Miss instructed specifically to give it to you at the beginning of the month." Xu Ming handed Lu Xiao a leather pouch full of money.

Lu Xiao accepted it with a smile, quite pleased with Luo Hanyi’s gesture of paying him early.

This is truly the style of a grand family’s young lady, utterly generous.

Her head split open yesterday, not a single complaint, and even immediately sent ten times the salary.

"Brother Xu, don’t be late for the noon drink at Juhai Building!" Lu Xiao had already promised Xu Ming to treat him out with his salary, and naturally, he wouldn’t go back on his word.

"Sure thing!" Xu Ming immediately agreed.

In Xu Ming’s view, keeping a good relationship with Lu Xiao was quite essential.

This guy became the favorite of the Third Young Miss on his first day, clearly a top-notch talent.

In the future, Lu Xiao will definitely be a favored person by the Third Young Miss’s side.

"Gentlemen, if you’re free at noon, how about a drink together at Juhai Building?" Lu Xiao then shouted to the guards in the yard.

None of the guards in the middle of the courtyard dared to respond, and even their looks towards Lu Xiao carried a tinge of fear.

Yesterday those five guys asked Lu Xiao to treat them, and the beating they received was severe.

Today Lu Xiao’s inviting them to eat out of his own volition, could it be a trap? Maybe after we eat, he’ll start hitting us.

"I have duty."

"I need to meditate."

"I have to go home and care for my elderly mother."

"My mom’s giving birth today!"

After throwing out a barrage of excuses, the men quickly dispersed.

Xu Ming looked around the empty yard and then at Lu Xiao, his expression somewhat perplexed.

"Brother Lu, did you offend these guards?" Xu Ming couldn’t understand why nobody was going.

"Not at all, they probably really are busy. Just the two of us will do," Lu Xiao said nonchalantly. No big deal if they don’t come. I’m not desperate for company, I have money now.

Xu Ming rolled his eyes, really busy?

The first few excuses like duty and meditation sounded normal, but their mom giving birth was just too ridiculous.

After Xu Ming left, Lu Xiao looked at the new sparring schedule that came along.

The timings were basically fixed every day, always at four in the afternoon.

And just that one session.

"Third Young Miss is a good person!" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim. Previously, the sparring schedule was three sessions a day, two in the morning and one in the afternoon.

More money, less work, and the boss is as beautiful as a goddess. Could there be a cooler job than this!

Since he was free for the entire morning, Lu Xiao didn’t stay in; he grabbed his money and headed out.

"Qingxin Pavilion..." About twenty minutes after leaving Mansion Luo, a strikingly lavish pavilion appeared before Lu Xiao.

Inside, the noise was tumultuous, seemingly very bustling.

Lu Xiao frowned slightly; he had thought Qingxin Pavilion would be some kind of soul-cleansing place.

Like old monks chanting, or some expert giving lectures.

After all, the guard had mentioned you could go to Qingxin Pavilion if you feel restless...

Unexpectedly, it was as noisy as a market.

But Lu Xiao didn’t dwell on it and walked straight in.

Just after entering, he saw a crowd packed in the hall, all huddled together.

"Big big big!"

"Small small small!"

The two shouts competed incessantly, neither backing down.

Lu Xiao: ???

Good lord, this is basically a gambling den, isn’t it!

Wait, not exactly a gambling den, this darn place is more of a commercial complex.

On the left pillar seven characters: Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Thinking, Sadness, Fear, Shock;

On the right pillar seven characters: Eating, Drinking, Prostitution, Gambling, Pulling, Luring, Song;

Banner across: Clear Heart, Remove Desires.

"So this is the Clear Heart Method, quite a cunning angle," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but comment.

"Since that’s the case, I might as well clear up a bit myself."

Walking into the hall, Lu Xiao was immediately taken aback.

Wow! An endless view of gambling tables and gamblers.

He had been to Las Vegas in Meili Country, but compared to Qingxin Pavilion, well, there’s just no comparison.

The scene at Qingxin Pavilion left Lu Xiao genuinely uttering an astonished swear.

"Sir, would you like a gambling table arranged for you?" Soon, a servant approached Lu Xiao, smiling and inquiring.

"No need to gamble, my issues are quite severe," Lu Xiao thought for a moment and said.

He really wasn’t interested in gambling.

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the servant’s eyes lit up, "May I ask sir, how long did you resist the desire of Red Eyes last night?"

"Three hours." Lu Xiao extended three fingers.

"That’s indeed very serious. I suggest you could go to the fourth or fifth floor," the servant recommended.

"Alright, set it up," Lu Xiao nodded. The fourth and fifth floors, they sound more advanced than the first-floor gamblers.
