Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Visitors Are Guests

Because Shen Dong’s seat was at the highest and utmost position, it allowed him to capture every action below in his sight. Of course, he noticed their slight movement instantly, but dissatisfaction though present in his heart, was not revealed on his face. He simply watched indifferently, waiting to see what else they would do. At this point, a group of burly men nearby also caught Shen Dong’s attention.

As soon as he had entered, he had seen them and found it quite strange back then, and now, looking at them, it still felt off. After considering carefully, he realized that he knew nothing about these men’s identities, and wondered why they had suddenly appeared here. Nonetheless, he decided to observe quietly for a while longer, as every newcomer was considered a guest.

As long as they did not cause trouble, he naturally would welcome them, but he still needed to remain vigilant. If they were up to something they shouldn’t be doing and it led to the closure of his bar, he wouldn’t let them off lightly. Thus, he quickly called Mr. Lin over and arranged for a few people to go and watch what they were up to, ready to intervene immediately if they attempted anything illegal.

This bar could not afford any errors. When Mr. Lin was called over, he felt somewhat intimidated by Shen Dong, remembering that he had just accepted a bribe to arrange for that seat, an indisputably inappropriate act. However, considering that he had already admitted to his mistake and been punished, he hoped there wouldn’t be any further consequences. Thus, he approached to see what Mr. Shen intended for him to do.

"Mr. Shen, did you call me over for a specific task?"

As he spoke, his eyes conveyed a hint of uncertainty. Shen Dong pointed towards the group of burly men, who seemed to turn their heads thoughtfully, but unfortunately for them, Shen Dong’s cover was particularly good. At a glance, it appeared as though he was simply watching the dancers on stage, leading the burly men to think that perhaps their eyes were playing tricks on them, making them see things that weren’t there.

They resumed discussing their work. Mr. Lin was also a cautious man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to stay in his position for so many years. Realizing what Shen Dong’s gesture meant, Mr. Lin understood there were issues with the people at that table, and his boss had summoned him for this.

He definitely had to handle this task well; perhaps it would even bring him a step closer to the higher-ups, which would be an even better outcome.

"Send a few people to keep an eye on them, but remember, if there’s nothing unusual about them, absolutely do not stir up trouble. We can’t afford to provoke certain forces that are too dark. I don’t want this bar, of all places, to attract people we can’t afford to upset. After all, I plan to make a long-lasting fortune from this establishment.

I also need to repay the trust that other benefactors have placed in me. So, prudence is paramount. I trust you with this task; if you’re not sure about others, you can go yourself. It’s only a bit dangerous.

Now go ahead and plan accordingly. Proving your capability is part of the deal. I don’t foster incompetents. Since the very first time I saw you, I thought you were a reliable talent. Don’t let my judgment be in vain. I believe you can handle it, right?"

After finishing his words, his eyes were filled with laughter, convinced the other person wouldn’t disappoint. Mr. Lin also smiled in acknowledgment—his boss truly understood human nature, pinpointing exactly what he desired most: promotion and wealth. And how is one to advance and enrich themselves?

If one spent their life solely managing a bar, prospects were dim. He had had his eye on Shen Dong for a long time, knowing that this boss would give his people opportunities whenever possible, allowing them to climb up the ranks. And currently, Shen Dong was starting a new project—if Mr. Lin could keep up...

Then his future would be boundless. Seizing this chance to establish connections, Mr. Lin, adept at his duties, immediately took on the task.

Shen Dong watched Mr. Lin from above, mulling over the significant role this person could potentially fill. Indeed, when Mr. Lin reached his destination, he watched over them, unbeknownst to them.

In the brief moment that Mr. Lin consulted with him, Shen Dong saw that one of his own had been outright bullied. Lin Qi was there, drinking one glass after another, seemingly because he had poured too quickly just now; Zhang Xu’s band of ruffian friends played along, continuously pouring drinks for Lin Qi. Lin Qi felt rather helpless but continued to drink glass after glass.

Since they were the prominent patrons, he couldn’t afford to offend them. Otherwise, who knew if he’d have a stage to perform on later? Needing a significant amount of money, Lin Qi felt he had no other choice but to comply. One of the ruffian friends then said with a laugh, "Hey, 007, you really can hold your liquor. Have you considered making this your profession?

I think you’d earn more money accompanying drinks than you would twisting and turning on stage. Think about it. If you decide to do it, we’ll definitely invest in you nicely and take good care of your business. Then, you could be making several times more money. Right, Mr. Zhang?"

After the ruffian friend’s suggestion, another one chimed in, "Yeah, that’s right. You may earn a decent amount dancing, but if you keep us company, you’d make even more. Mr. Zhang isn’t stingy; the money he offers comes in batches, never the same amount twice. Just give in to our Mr. Zhang."

The ruffian friends spoke one after another, and their words resonated gleefully in Zhang Xu’s ears. He felt supremely smug, waiting for the chance to play the hero and utterly enchant Lin Qi. This tactic was more than enough against the naive—his friends’ coordination with him had reached a flawless state by now.

They enjoyed their game without an ounce of shame, even feeling entitled. After a few drinks, Lin Qi started to feel somewhat dizzy, his alcohol tolerance not yet developed. If he drank too much, he definitely wouldn’t be able to perform later.

He had to moderate himself. Listening to their words, he felt slightly disoriented, wondering what they were really saying.
