Chapter 1047: Chapter 1092: Pressure from the Saintess

Brother Hu’s woman was named Wang Lin, and she was thirty-three years old this year. She had been with Brother Hu since her early twenties. Although Brother Hu couldn’t marry her, he treated her very well, so she had always stayed by his side.

She was also a very shrewd woman, and her actions were very reassuring to Brother Hu. After she hung up the phone, she stepped out and saw Jiang Ningxiang tidying up the hall. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Ningxiang, and said, "Little Jiang, you don’t have to do this work; let someone else do it."

"Ah, boss, this is my job," said Jiang Ningxiang with a confused look on her face.

Wang Lin hurriedly said, "What’s your job? There’s no job for you here."

"Boss... are you firing me?" Jiang Ningxiang suddenly panicked, staring at Wang Lin in terror.

Wang Lin quickly said, "Not at all. You are now the little lady of this place; how dare I fire you? You belong to Young Master Li; how can I make you work?"

Jiang Ningxiang looked confused and said, "I... I don’t quite understand."

Wang Lin chuckled secretly. It seemed this young girl was still very innocent. Young Master Li had taken an interest in her, and she was oblivious. Since this was the case, she couldn’t be too obvious about it. If Young Master Li found out she was meddling, it wouldn’t be good. After thinking it over, she said, "Well then, from now on you can work at the cash register."

"The cash register... But boss, aren’t you the one who handles the money?" Jiang Ningxiang was still very confused.

"I want to take it easy for a while. From now on, you will handle the money matters. How’s that? Surely you can do that, can’t you?" Wang Lin purposely teased Jiang Ningxiang.

"I can, I can do it for sure!" Jiang Ningxiang quickly replied.

"That’s good to hear. Oh, and if you are going to be handling the cash, you can’t wear these waitstaff clothes."

"But... I don’t have any clothes nicer than these," Jiang Ningxiang said, looking down, somewhat embarrassed.

"If you don’t have any, we’ll go buy some. You’ll be working for me, and I’ll be the one paying. Come on, let’s go buy some now." Saying this, Wang Lin pulled Jiang Ningxiang and set out. Since she had to take care of the girl for Li Yifei, she naturally wanted to do her best; she had to dress this young lady up to look pretty and nice, so that Young Master Li would be happy when he next visited.

Li Yifei had no idea that a casual remark of his had completely changed Jiang Ningxiang’s fate. He had just parked in a secluded spot and was kissing Michelle. At Wang Lin’s place, they had only just begun to taste the sweetness before they were interrupted. Li Yifei could deal with the interruption, but Michelle was not content and suggested finding a quiet place to sit, seeing as it was still early to return to the company.

After Li Yifei dropped Michelle off at the company, he made a call to Brother Hu and met with him at his villa.

"Young Master Li, are we really going to counterattack?" Brother Hu asked with excitement, clenching his fists.

Li Yifei smiled faintly, "Yes. Before I wanted to see what he was up to in Mile City, but now they’re about to openly disrespect us. If we don’t show them some color, we won’t be able to hang around Mile City anymore."

Li Yifei had no intention of getting involved in underworld activities, but Meng Qianjun was being excessively overbearing. If Meng Qianjun took over the entire underworld of Mile City, it would pose a significant threat to Li Yifei. One should not overlook the likes of Brother Hu and his men; though they might seem to lack strength, if they aimed to ruin a person or company, they could cause severe difficulties. Even if Li Yifei did not want to get involved, he couldn’t let Meng Qianjun have his way.

Brother Hu rubbed his hands and said, "Then Young Master Li, what should we do? I won’t hide it from you; I haven’t really faced such big scenes before. I’m very excited now but have no idea where to start."

Li Yifei glanced at Brother Hu, who said somewhat awkwardly, "Young Master Li, we’ve only ever been involved in minor skirmishes. We’ve never experienced anything like those big gang brawls in the movies. Now with Meng Qianjun’s momentum so fierce, it seems we won’t be able to regain our advantage without a fight."

Li Yifei smiled faintly, "Gang brawls are definitely not an option. That would make you truly part of the underworld. Even if you’re in the clear now, you might not be later. Besides, my wife is a police officer. If such things happen, it would make things difficult for her."

Brother Hu was even more puzzled and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Li Yifei pointed to his head, "Use your brain. Not everything has to be settled by martial strength. Our goal is to make sure Meng Qianjun can’t rest easy and slow down his expansion."

Brother Hu furrowed his brow in thought, but still couldn’t come up with anything. Li Yifei shook his head and said, "It’s simple. Didn’t Meng Qianjun come to make trouble at your club? You go make trouble for him, too. Right now, we’re not looking for any significant outcome, but at the very least, we have to send Meng Qianjun a signal that you, Brother Hu, are not afraid of him."

Brother Hu perked up, "Okay, I’ll send people to make trouble for him."

Li Yifei nodded, "I’ll send a few people to assist you, but remember one thing—if you encounter Meng Qianjun himself, leave immediately. Do not confront him directly; the man is dangerous. It’s not worth risking lives over petty conflict."

Brother Hu nodded repeatedly, fervently agreeing and admiring Li Yifei even more. Unlike himself, who would never consider the safety of his subordinates when taking action, Li Yifei, as a young master with strong ability, still took the safety of his lower-level employees into account. This was truly a different class, and it was clear that Li Yifei had the makings of a great leader. Compared to Li Yifei, Brother Hu realized he had much to learn.
