Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Grand Opening of the New Business

"Boss Huo Ben already reached out to me; it must be about inquiring into you!"

In the restaurant, Zhao Xiaozhuang hung up the phone and looked towards Lin Fan.

"Somebody’s getting impatient. Then, you should go ahead and keep the appointment."

Lin Fan pulled fifty thousand yuan out of his bag and placed it in front of Zhao Xiaozhuang, "You’ve had a rough time on this one. Take this money for your boys, spend it on tea, drinks, whatever you like."

"Boss... I can’t take this money."

Zhao Xiaozhuang hurriedly refused, but Lin Fan still pushed the money in front of him and, with a narrowed-eye smile, said, "It’s not for you. After all, you’ve helped me a lot. I have to show my gratitude, or I’ll look stingy. Let’s be honest, you’re well aware of how well you’ve got on."

"Then... thank you, Boss..."

With Lin Fan putting it that way, Zhao Xiaozhuang could only awkwardly accept the money. He was fully aware that his uncle didn’t really think much of him, so he was just leveraging Zhao Chuanchun’s name.

"No need to mention it. We wouldn’t have met if we hadn’t clashed. Frankly, I’m the Deputy County Magistrate transferred from the city. I’ll take office in a few days. As a local, you should know how chaotic Red Flag County is. I’m just trying to protect myself, so let’s make money together. As long as I’m alive, I promise it’ll be more than what your uncle can offer."

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair, took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "What kind of person do you think Huo Ben really is?"

"He’s a psycho, but a ferocious one too. He was just a miner, working in Wang Liyou’s mine. After a mine disaster, he was trapped underground for over half a month. Without food or drink, he was the only one who survived, supposedly by eating the flesh of the dead. With that ruthless streak, my uncle took a shine to him. After Wang Liyou ran off following some trouble, Huo Ben took care of a few things and secretly offed a bunch of people. That’s how he became Boss Huo."

Zhao Xiaozhuang spoke, deeply inhaling a cigarette, "Though I’m my uncle’s dog, to be brutally honest, I get chills around him; he seems to smile in such a cruel way, as if he always has a taste for human flesh in his mouth. Over the years, he’s had a few psychos under him who are incredibly vicious, so, Boss, if you want to survive in Red Flag County, best not cross him. He might not dare touch me, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t touch you."

"You think I wanted to come here? I was transferred by my superiors, said it was for attracting investment and accumulating political achievements before transferring me back. Don’t worry, I’m focused on self-protection. I’ve even opened a tea house. Even after the transfer order comes, I’ll work out of the tea house and won’t even bother going to the County Government Building."

Lin Fan stretched languidly and said, "Alright, you go on and get busy. I guess Huo Ben and your uncle will both ask how we met. You’d know what to say, right?"

"We met while having fun in the city, through Third Brother. Other than that, I don’t know a thing."

Zhao Xiaozhuang naturally wouldn’t speak of other embarrassing matters; such leverage could be brutally vicious. Of course, the threat from Third Brother was part of it, given that these guys were no less tough than Huo Ben.

"Alright, then. Thank you, Captain Zhao. Stop by my place for tea and a chat when you’re free, but no bringing girls over."

Lin Fan got up, patted Zhao Xiaozhuang’s shoulder, and walked out of the shopping center, got into his car, and returned to the tea house.

"Boss, you’re back."

When Lin Fan entered the tea house, Tang Dashuang and Tang Xiaoshuang immediately came over, their eyes examining him as if checking to see if he was hurt.

"I wasn’t going to a fight. After a friendly discussion, they were pretty reasonable and took the car away."

Lin Fan said with a smile, settling down in front of the tea seat. But Zhu Zhixuan, hearing this, asked in confusion, "Took the car away? Shouldn’t the car be driven away? How did you negotiate?"

"I simply called a bunch of brothers, smashed the car, all the windows were broken, couldn’t see the road, had to push it away."

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders. His comment made the three women burst into laughter.

"That’s not called a friendly discussion... that’s clearly forceful demolition."

"Friendly discussion means, my good friends, armed with weapons, inflicted injuries on the other party."

Lin Fan took a sip of the tea handed to him by Tang Xiaoshuang, and his twisted logic made the three women laugh even more. At that moment, an Audi car stopped at the front of the shop.

"Here comes a big client."

Lin Fan put down his tea cup with a smile, watching Gao Shan walk in, the big client he had been waiting for that day.

"Mayor Lin, good to see you!"

Gao Shan hurried over to Lin Fan. Having attended the bidding conference, he contacted Lin Fan immediately, thus agreeing to meet here.

"Let’s go upstairs to talk... Little Shuang, help with making the tea."

Lin Fan nodded and led Gao Shan upstairs to the private reception room reserved for the boss. After they sat down, Tang Xiaoshuang sat to the side, brewing tea for them; her excellent Kung Fu made Gao Shan continually express his admiration.

"Mayor Lin, I didn’t expect to find such exquisite Kung Fu tea in Red Flag County. You sure know how to pick a place."

"It’s not that I know how, this place I just opened."

Hearing this, Gao Shan immediately understood.
