Cui Mingjiu and Huo Changqing never expected Sister Hong to be so tough. When we left, their faces were ashen.
The second plan we prepared for intimidation was also neutralized by me. They stood by the windows on the upper floor, watching me chat and laugh with the people in a police car, which made them even more hesitant to act rashly. They could only grit their teeth and watch us drive away.
After we returned, the more than ten companies that had not joined the alliance almost immediately expressed their goodwill to Sister Hong. They had not anticipated that a woman like Sister Hong could stand up to Huo Changqing and walk away unscathed afterward.
After a while, Wanhau Funeral Services did not face the industry siege that Uncle Ming had feared. However, it soon became apparent that our business was noticeably declining. Previously, we held 3 to 5 funerals a week; now we were down to only 2 or 3. Although we were unsure of the cause at first, everyone knew this was highly abnormal and likely related to Huo Changqing's alliance.
As the boss, Sister Hong began to worry. Even though the storefront was purchased, we still needed to pay salaries for the hosts, receptionists, embalmers, and for me and Brother Biao, who were just small-time workers.
Uncle Ming inquired through connections in the industry to find out what was happening. The owners of other companies that had shown goodwill to Sister Hong also called in; they were experiencing the same situation!
It seemed we really needed to pay attention.
Days passed, and Sister Liu's concert date was approaching. That day, we didn’t turn down any clients since we hadn’t opened for several days.
Sister Hong said, “It’s been quiet lately; everyone should take a good rest. Let’s have lunch at Haidilao and then go together to the Sports Center for the concert tonight.”
The concert started at 8:00 PM, and our group set off at 6:30 PM. However, with just one kilometer left to the Sports Center, our vehicle came to a halt due to traffic control; pedestrians could enter but cars could not proceed.
After finally finding a parking spot, while I was parking, a BMW X5 seemed eager to snatch my space and nearly collided with Sister Su, who was directing me from the side.
“Skid!” The BMW suddenly slammed on its brakes as Sister Su quickly dodged aside. There was a loud bang as the BMW crashed into a lamp post's base.
The BMW doors swung open, and two burly bodyguards in sharp suits stepped out. One of them leaned out of the window and shouted, “Can’t you see the car? Why are you just standing there? Are you blind or stupid?”
My pupils narrowed. Wasn’t this Long Hair, whom I had dealt with not long ago?
“Grab that girl! Damn it, pay for my car! Can’t even walk properly,” Long Hair yelled as he got out of the car and charged toward Sister Su with his two bodyguards.
“Hey? Wait!” Just as they reached Sister Su’s side, Long Hair suddenly barked an order. The two bodyguards froze in their tracks.
Long Hair stepped forward and saw me quickly approaching Sister Su. He shivered slightly and hurriedly said, “Is that Xiao Lin Brothers? Oh wow, it’s really Xiao Lin Brothers! You’re here for the concert too?”
He approached with a flattering smile before turning back to scold his driver behind him. “That guy driving tomorrow shouldn’t come back to work! Driving like that in the parking lot—what if he hits someone?”
I didn’t want to engage with him but remembered not to hit someone who was smiling at me. I replied directly, “It’s Sister Liu’s concert; I’m here to support her!”
Long Hair grinned widely. “Yes, yes! That’s right!”
He pulled me aside again. "In the past, I was the one who didn't understand. From now on, you can rest assured about Sister Liu..."
He was worried that I might let the bomb in his hand go off.
I reassured him, "It's fine, as long as Sister Liu is okay, you will be too!"
Long Hair nodded repeatedly. "Alright, alright."
We stopped the car at the designated spot. The closer we got to the Sports Center, the more people there were. By the time we reached the ticket entrance, a line stretched over a hundred meters long. Many people were bouncing around excitedly on the street as if they had taken stimulants, waving glow sticks in their hands. Some even held large portraits of Sister Liu.
I took a closer look at the ticket booth and noticed that there was a VIP entrance. We should be able to skip the long line.
"Hey! Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin!" I heard someone calling my name.
Turning towards the voice, I saw Sister An arriving with her best friend. Sister An's friend pointed at me and started introducing me to her companion, who then cast an extremely admiring gaze in my direction.
I must admit, it felt pretty good.
These girls not only brought glow sticks but also carried glowing signs that read "I Love You, Sister Liu."
Sister An looked like a starry-eyed girl. "Don't forget to help me get a photo with Sister Liu!”
