Chapter 188: Don't Forget Our Purpose
So this guy is called Lin Zhe, huh? Zhang Qiu looked at the swaying Lin Zhe, who could barely stand, and said with a smile, "So you're Lin Zhe, right? Let me tell you two things. First, I have a girlfriend now, so this is all just a misunderstanding. I won't hold it against you. Second, Wang Jinghan is a good girl. If you like her, go after her seriously, be more like a man."
"Who are you calling not a man?" Lin Zhe lunged at Zhang Qiu but was immediately pulled back by his friends.
Zhang Qiu was speechless and told his friends, "Hurry up and take him back to sober up. Look at how drunk he is."
"Alright, alright." Those who noticed that Zhang Qiu was someone important in this place quickly grabbed Lin Zhe and tried to leave. Lin Zhe was relentless, shouting loudly, "I clearly saw her hugging you! How is that a misunderstanding? And he even took my clothes to wear!"
"Wait a minute." As soon as Zhang Qiu finished speaking, his brothers quickly surrounded Lin Zhe again. Lin Zhe's friends turned pale with fear, and the four girls huddled together trembling. They were just kids with some pocket money; they usually enjoyed eating, drinking, and joking around but had never seen such a scene.
"I need to clarify this; otherwise, people might think I, Zhang Qiu, can't afford clothes." Zhang Qiu walked over to Lin Zhe and took off his shirt. A scar resembling a centipede lay across Zhang Qiu's abs, shocking many people present. The beauty at the front desk looked at Zhang Qiu with a different expression, thinking that this guy was indeed something special.
Zhang Qiu pointed to his scar and said seriously, "Do you see this? I went to the hospital to treat my injury. I passed out, and when the doctor treated my wound, he cut my shirt. Wang Jinghan is my classmate and friend; she helped me find something to wear. So technically, this is your shirt; thank you for that. However, always thinking about hitting me isn't good; I hope there won't be a next time."
Zhang Qiu's words were directed not only at Lin Zhe but also at everyone watching the commotion. Finally, he looked into Lin Zhe's eyes, causing him to feel an unexpected chill on this relatively warm day in late April.
"Who knows if what you're saying is true or not!" Lin Zhe was tipsy and subconsciously clung to his prejudice.
"I already told you I have a girlfriend."
"Right! He has a girlfriend now." The receptionist walked over and linked her arm with Zhang Qiu's, leaning intimately against him. Her ample chest rubbed against Zhang Qiu's arm, making many people swallow hard.
"What are you doing?"
The air suddenly fell silent as people saw a man with a scarred face standing at the staircase, looking down at the first floor. From the second-floor window, Abiao and Yang Yu witnessed the scene below. Abiao had wanted to see Zhang Qiu fight again but was surprised that it wasn't happening; curiosity got the better of him as he walked down.
"Brother Qiu," Yang Yu shouted as he leaped down from the second floor to join Zhang Qiu. He paused slightly upon seeing the beauty clinging to Zhang Qiu. Wasn't Brother Qiu already taken? What was going on? He wasn't that kind of person.
Zhang Qiu noticed Yang Yu's misunderstanding but didn't have time to explain before Abiao slowly walked down and stood in front of everyone, asking, "What's going on?"
Zhang Qiu replied, "Biao Ge, I ran into a friend of my friend's who misunderstood me as a rival."
Abiao glanced at Lin Zhe's face with disdain and shouted, "Get lost!"
Just a single sentence made Lin Zhe shiver, and his friends looked at Abiao's menacing scarred face, terrified and dragging Lin Zhe out of the bar.
Zhang Qiu laughed and said, "Thank you, Biao Ge."
"When encountering such situations, don't be too kind. If you're too nice, others might think you're easy to bully."
"Got it, I'll remember that."
"What are you two doing..." Abiao pointed at Zhang Qiu and the Receptionist, wearing a knowing expression. Zhang Qiu quickly explained, "Biao Ge, this is also a misunderstanding."
Abiao laughed heartily: "I don't care about misunderstandings. Men are men; if you like someone, you like them. Rui Rui, make sure to take good care of him; he's a new talent that Brother Leopard has his eye on."
The beauty referred to as Rui Rui was slightly surprised but quickly turned to smile, her golden wavy hair brushing past Zhang Qiu's face, the fragrance causing him to sneeze. Rui Rui found Zhang Qiu's reaction amusing and said, "Now can I have your WeChat ID?"
Zhang Qiu smiled and took out his phone for Rui Rui to scan the code. Yang Yu asked Zhang Qiu, "Brother Qiu, class isn't over yet; why are you here now?"
"Reflecting on myself; I got into a fight."
Yang Yu exclaimed, "What the hell, Brother Qiu, who did you fight with?"
Before Zhang Qiu could respond, Abiao interjected: "You really are someone who can stir up trouble. Not bad, very not bad."
"Biao Ge, I want to ask about someone."
"Who?"
"Mao Tong; he's from Lin Tao's side."
Qiu Wan saw Abiao burst into laughter and asked, "Biao Ge, do you know this person?"
Abiao inquired, "Does this person wear a big gold chain?"
"Yes." Zhang Qiu thought to himself that it seemed Biao Ge knew this person well.
"I certainly know, so you fought him today?"
"It wasn't him. I had a fight with him last night. Today at school, someone told me he was looking into me."
Abiao nodded slightly and said, "This Mao Tong is a thug under Brother Tiger from Lin Tao's side. He's both a gambler and a womanizer, and he's cunning. He's got his eyes on you; you need to be careful."
"Is this person strong?"
"He's just average. Many people aren't as strong as they think; what people fear is often their status. For example, Mao Tong might lose to you in a one-on-one fight, but he can gather hundreds of people. You wouldn't be able to handle that alone, right?" Brother Leopard said, lighting a cigarette and taking a couple of puffs before continuing, "But you don't need to be afraid. Since he's investigating you, he will definitely find out you're with the Stone Dagger Gang and won't act rashly. I'm curious, how did you end up fighting with Mao Tong?"
"Last night my wife's Second Uncle, Auntie, and my family had dinner together. After dinner, we were walking home when we passed by the Red-Light District in the south of the city. A few drunken thugs came out, and during the fight, I got hit on the head and bled a lot. It was late at night, and it was hard to get a cab. Luckily, I had a friend nearby who lent me a tricycle to take me to the hospital. On the way back, I ran into Mao Tong."
"Your friends seem to be quite diverse," Abiao said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Qiu. He knew very well what kind of people frequented the Red-Light District. He didn't expect this high school student to have friends there; it was truly surprising.
Rui Rui, who was nearby, heard Zhang Qiu's words and huffed in annoyance before turning her head away. When Zhang Qiu noticed that the people in the bar were looking at him with ill intentions, he realized they misunderstood him and felt wronged but didn't know how to explain it without making things worse. He decided not to care anymore and asked, "Biao Ge, since I'm here, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Yes! Come drink with me; Yang Yu and I have already had quite a bit," Abiao laughed heartily and then snapped his fingers at Rui Rui. "Bring up some bottles of wine and help us mix drinks."
Zhang Qiu and Yang Yu followed Abiao upstairs while the Brothers guarding the place dispersed to do their own things. Rui Rui tossed her golden wavy hair and smiled at the guests, saying, "Everyone keep playing and drinking; today we have special discounts." Then she took some bottles of wine upstairs.
In the office on the second floor, Abiao sat back in his chair, leaning against the sofa with one hand resting on the backrest while holding a cigarette in the other hand. His shirt buttons were all undone, revealing his muscular physique.
Zhang Qiu looked at Abiao's shocking scars and was deeply shaken. He only snapped back to reality when Yang Yu asked him.
"Brother Qiu, who did you fight with at school? Is there still someone at No. 1 High School who dares to go against us?"
"This time it wasn't someone from No. 1 High School; it's an alumnus from Jin Hao Group—the young master Lu Bin," Zhang Qiu replied while looking at Abiao. The latter shook his head after seeing Zhang Qiu's questioning gaze and said, "I've heard of Jin Hao Group but never heard of this young master before. I'm curious about how you ended up fighting."
"Well, it just so happened that after class I went to the restroom with my Brothers and ran into him bullying someone else. When I tried to mediate, I ended up getting hit instead. He was really big—like a giant water barrel—no one could move him. In a fit of excitement, I threw him into a latrine," Zhang Qiu explained while gesturing with his hands to indicate Fatty's size.
"Pfft!" Rui Rui, who was pouring drinks nearby, burst out laughing first; her body shook so much that some wine spilled onto the tea table.
"I'm sorry, Biao Ge! I'm sorry!" Rui Rui apologized in a flustered manner as she grabbed some napkins to wipe up the spilled wine on the tea table. Zhang Qiu also pulled out some napkins to clean up the mess. Rui Rui smiled at Zhang Qiu; whether intentionally or unintentionally lowering her body revealed her ample chest from her open white striped shirt. Zhang Qiu hurriedly glanced away while Rui Rui giggled again.
Abiao watched with great interest, and everything naturally did not escape his eyes. He did not point it out, instead raising his glass and saying, "Come on, let's drink. Rui Rui's bartending skills are among the best in our bar. Every night, the men coming here are eager to have Rui Rui make their drinks, and tonight you will get to witness it."
After Abiao finished speaking, he was surprisingly amazed to find that Rui Rui, who had worked in this place for so long, was blushing just like when she first arrived.
Zhang Qiu and Yang Yu paid little attention to that and were busy tasting their drinks, praising, "This is really good, very tasty."
"Brother Qiu, what are you planning to do? Should we go after him?" Yang Yu became more excited after drinking, eager to vent his frustrations immediately.
"Forget it this time; let's just reflect on it. Besides, I haven't lost anything."
"Brother Qiu, that's not your style."
"That Fatty came to school this time to fund the construction of the gymnasium; it's a good thing after all. I’ll let it go. I can't let my own issues ruin the gymnasium."
"Brother Qiu, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't let it slide."
"Don't forget our purpose; we are here to help the students, not to undermine them, right? Come on, let's drink." Zhang Qiu raised his glass, and Yang Yu also lifted his glass to clink with Zhang Qiu's before downing it in one gulp.
