"Ah Feng, you're full, let's go!"
After lunch, Chen Yu pushed his bowl to the side, wiped his mouth, and said, "Mom, I'll be back late today, leave the courtyard gate open for me..."
Seeing Chen Yu light a cigarette and stand up, Qin Feng quickly scooped the last bit of rice from his bowl into his mouth, picked up Chen Yu's handbag before him, and said to Aunt Zhao, "Aunt, Brother Yu and I are leaving first."
Chen Yu was very satisfied with Qin Feng's attentiveness. He was now a figure of some importance in the East District, and having a smart underling like Qin Feng made him look good.
Of course, Chen Lao Da still didn't enjoy the privilege of a dedicated car. He pushed a motorcycle out of the courtyard, started it, and took Qin Feng out of the alley, leaving a trail of black smoke behind.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu's motorcycle stopped in the parking lot of the Entertainment City. The Entertainment City didn't operate in the morning, so the vast parking lot had only a few motorcycles and no cars.
However, the Entertainment City wasn't just a nightclub; it also had a sauna and a game hall.
The sauna, of course, didn't need much explanation. This place, known as the largest sauna in Jin Tian, was actually a den of iniquity. There were dozens of girls inside, and by night, the place was so crowded that customers had to queue.
As for the game hall, it was also a money-making place. The game hall occupied an entire floor, with normal game machines at the front, attracting many children from the neighborhood.
In the back half of the floor, however, it was separated and filled with hundreds of gambling machines like mahjong and big tycoon. The regulars who played there were all old customers. Don't underestimate these gambling machines; they could bring in over 100,000 yuan in profit for the Entertainment City every day.
With these businesses, small conflicts often occurred, so Chen Yu had to come to the Entertainment City at 1 PM every afternoon to handle any emergencies.
"Brother Yu, hello..."
"Manager Chen, hello."
As they entered the Entertainment City, greetings echoed around them. Chen Yu's posture straightened, and he strutted in with Qin Feng to the office on the third floor.
"Brother Yu, here's your water." Qin Feng poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Chen Yu, casually asking, "Brother Yu, anything to do today? I think I forgot to lock the courtyard gate."
"Do you need to lock the gate at your place?" Chen Yu's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "With that big yellow dog inside, who would dare to enter?"
Originally, Chen Yu lived with his mother, but it felt inconvenient, so he thought of moving to Qin Feng's place. However, the big yellow dog didn't get along with him, and he was bitten the first time he went there, so Chen Lao Da usually avoided Qin Feng's courtyard.
"Nothing much this afternoon, Ah Feng. I'll take a nap, and you find a place to rest too."
Chen Yu yawned and said, "Cheer up tonight. The boss will be hosting guests at the nightclub, so keep your eyes open. If you offend someone, I can't protect you. Damn, I don't know who took out Dong Ge. If Dong Ge were still around, who would dare to cause trouble here?"
Originally, the Entertainment City was controlled by Yuan Dong. He was a mad dog who bit anyone he saw. With him in charge, few dared to cause trouble at the Entertainment City, and even the other bosses gave him some respect.
"Brother Yu, what kind of guests? So impressive?" Qin Feng grumbled, "With your relationship with the boss, what can't you handle?"
To be fair, Chen Yu did have some connection with Yuan Bingqi. His grandfather was a sworn brother of Yuan Huiwen, but in the early 1950s, he was killed while attacking the government with Yuan Huiwen's eldest son.
Later, Chen Yu's father received much care from Yuan Bingqi, and with this connection, Yuan Bingqi treated Chen Yu well over the years. However, Chen Yu was not up to the task, so he was given the position of head of security at the Entertainment City.
Chen Yu was a big talker and often boasted about his relationship with "Yuan Ye," so Qin Feng occasionally flattered him with this connection.
"Yuan Ye won't make things difficult for me..." Chen Yu glanced at the door and lowered his voice, "Didn't I tell you? There are a few powerful bosses in Jin Tian City that even Yuan Ye doesn't want to provoke."
When Chen Yu was around 17 or 18, he followed Yuan Bingqi for a few years, so his knowledge was much broader than that of ordinary hooligans, especially regarding the distribution of power in Jin Tian City.
In the East District of Jin Tian, Yuan Bingqi's influence was the strongest, controlling almost all entertainment venues. The Entertainment City, known as the Big Tycoon, was the largest in Jin Tian.
However, Jin Tian has six districts. The South District was home to a military unit, making it a traditional military stronghold. Those who could stand their ground in the South District were mostly children of military families, and they acted more recklessly than civilians.
Three years ago, Chen Yu followed Yuan Bingqi to a venue in the South District. A well-known hooligan from the North District and a young man had an argument, and the hooligan hit the young man with a beer bottle.
Fights in nightclubs were common, and the hooligan didn't care after driving the young man away, continuing to sing and dance with his gang.
But just fifteen minutes later, a group of armed soldiers stormed in, beating anyone they saw with rubber sticks. Even Chen Yu and Yuan Bingqi, who were sitting far away, were hit several times.
The hooligan was the worst off, beaten until his head bled, and then dragged away by the soldiers. After that, no one in Jin Tian City ever saw that hooligan again.
Besides the South District being a traditional military stronghold, the boss of the North District, Li Jie, started in the sex business. He was a legendary figure in Jin Tian.
Li Jie initially made his fortune by selling pornographic videos, then opened video halls showing Hong Kong and Taiwan adult films and Japanese "action" movies.
After two years, Li Jie felt that cultural dissemination was not as profitable as practice, so in the late 1980s, he opened some salons with women he found from somewhere.
Li Jie was very cautious and never appeared in person, only directing things from behind the scenes. Despite several crackdowns, he was never hurt and even expanded his business to the capital, opening salons and nightclubs there.
Now, Li Jie has some shares in Yuan Bingqi's Entertainment City, and the girls in the sauna and nightclub are mostly his people, making him someone Chen Yu couldn't provoke.
Another person is Chang Xiangfeng, also known as Old Four. He mainly runs casinos and high-interest loans. Due to his background, he is well-established even in the South District, with his territory spread throughout Jin Tian, making him the most untouchable person.
So, despite Chen Yu's usual arrogance at the Entertainment City, he never dared to act arrogantly in the South District. Sometimes, when people came to the nightclub, Chen Yu could even put on a humble face.
Treating Qin Feng as a confidant, Chen Yu explained the power distribution in Jin Tian again and instructed, "Old Chang is coming tonight. Keep your eyes open. Don't be fooled by his smiling face; he's a ruthless man."
"Brother Yu, don't worry. Those big shots wouldn't bother with a small fry like me. Only you can speak to them."
Qin Feng subtly flattered Chen Yu, making him glow with pride. Chen Yu couldn't resist boasting about his past with Yuan Ye.
Many people have this mentality. Even if they have no connection to certain big shots, being able to talk about them makes them feel important.
"Has Yuan Bingqi finally arranged a meeting with Old Four?"
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Qin Feng inwardly sneered. In the ten days he had been at the Entertainment City, he hadn't done any real work, only spreading rumors in secret. Now, those rumors seemed to be taking effect.
