Chapter 78 The Thugs Elevate Their Roles, Aunt Liu Opens a Shop
[Bullying others, Professional Experience +10]
......
[Thug experience maxed out, level up]
Occupation: Thug
[Level: lv3→lv4(0/400)]
[Professional Skill: Bullying]
Previously, when we beat up the local thugs in Mayi Alley...
Qin Chuan's thug profession has gained a lot of experience, and he's only a little short of leveling up.
Later, in the courtroom, in front of Song Hai, he slapped those men across the face.
After a series of attacks from both sides,
The thug profession has finally been upgraded again, reaching LV4, and the effect of the profession skill "Bullying" has been further enhanced.
to be frank,
Previously,
Qin Chuan really didn't care about this kind of thuggish job; he was just looking to kill two birds with one stone.
But this time when they fought those thugs in Mayi Alley,
He unexpectedly discovered that this skill was very useful.
When he made his move, Qin Chuan activated his "bullying" skill.
Although this skill cannot produce any real damage, it greatly enhances one's morale and psychological impact.
Especially after he physically assaulted someone, the effect of his "bullying" became increasingly apparent.
After all, "violence" is also a form of "bullying"!
After being beaten, the thugs lay on the ground, terrified, and dared not even think of fighting back.
Even the local thug leader, after uttering some harsh words, dared not make a move again.
When Qin Chuan was interrogating those people in the hall earlier, he also activated his "skill."
With the aid of this skill, these people were so frightened that they trembled and dared not utter a word, tacitly agreeing.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances,
These thugs immediately jumped up, claiming they absolutely never said that and that Qin Chuan had made it up.
I'll deny it to the death!
Song Hai could also use this as a basis for his writing.
Looking back now, this thug's professional skills were indeed unique.
I don't know what changes will occur after reaching level 5 and advancing to the next job level.
......
Qin Chuan turned to look at the counter.
In the past, Zhao Fuquan used to keep accounts there, moving the abacus beads, writing and drawing, acting like he was in charge.
After what had just happened, the relationship between Qin Chuan and him was now irreconcilable.
After all, this person's various methods were all aimed at taking Qin Chuan's life. From badmouthing Qian Ye and accusing him of corruption, to sowing discord between Qian Ye and Song Hai and trying to push Qin Chuan out as a scapegoat, and then to his eagerness to distance himself from Song Hai when he made trouble, as if he wanted to kick Qin Chuan while he was down to show his loyalty...
Qin Chuan remembered every single one of these things, not missing a single detail.
However, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to take revenge.
It wasn't that he was magnanimous, but rather that Zhao Fuquan was someone he no longer needed to deal with.
Earlier, Zhao Fuquan had asked Master Qian for leave, saying that he was not feeling well and needed to go back to rest.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is just Zhao Fuquan's excuse.
What's wrong with you?
It was clear that he had embarrassed himself in front of Song Hai and was too ashamed to stay there, so he made an excuse to slink away.
What did Zhao Fuquan do when Song Hai barged in with his men?
He didn't stand up for Qian Ye, didn't say a word of justice for his "colleague," and couldn't even stand still.
He was the first to jump out and hurriedly distance himself, saying that he wasn't familiar with Qin Chuan and that what Qin Chuan did had nothing to do with him.
That face, so eager to beg for mercy, as if it wanted to kneel down and shout "Second Master, spare my life," was utterly weak to the core.
The relationship between Master Qian and Song Hai was not good to begin with, which was common knowledge within the Iron Hand Gang.
The two were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, and had been competing openly and secretly for countless years.
No matter how hard they tried, Qian Laifu's men had to at least put on a show when facing Song Hai.
You can remain silent, you can stay quiet, but you cannot kneel.
This is a matter of attitude, and even more so a matter of stance.
Zhao Fuquan clearly didn't understand this principle.
Or rather, he figured it out, but in the face of fear, all his so-called "loyalty" and "backbone" shattered.
Qin Chuan knew in his heart,
From today,
Zhao Fuquan's reputation in Qian Ye's eyes had plummeted to its lowest point.
Those who join gangs and follow others
You may lack ability, you may make mistakes occasionally, and you may even resort to underhanded tactics.
As long as you don't cross that line, he can turn a blind eye.
But if they show weakness or back down at crucial moments, that's a different story.
How could Mr. Qian dare to use someone like that again?
What's more, there's Qin Chuan, this "loyal and devoted" person, setting an example for us.
Qin Chuan could even foresee that starting tonight, Zhao Fuquan's days at Heaven on Earth would likely become much more difficult.
Power will be taken away, and the former "Manager Zhao" will soon become an empty shell, eventually being kicked out of the door.
That will be the time for Qin Chuan to make his move.
......
The next day,
Qin Chuan went back inside.
Aunt Liu, who was sitting at the table lost in thought, suddenly stood up and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Qin, are you alright? Did they attack you? Are you hurt?"
Qin Chuan looked over and saw that Aunt Liu looked very haggard, with red eyes, clearly having not slept much all night.
Qin Chuan smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Aunt Liu, don't worry, I'm fine. The matter is resolved."
When Aunt Liu heard him say "it's nothing," her tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and she let out a long sigh. She pulled Qin Chuan to sit down at the table, poured him a bowl of water, and pushed it in front of him, muttering, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Qin Chuan picked up his bowl, took a sip, and continued, "But Aunt Liu, there's something I need to tell you. It's best if you don't set up a stall in Ma Yi Lane anymore."
Aunt Liu sighed, shook her head, and said, "I know, with things having escalated like this, if I go back to setting up my stall, wouldn't that be like walking into the line of fire?"
She paused, then forced a bitter smile. "Forget it, I won't set up a stall anymore. I'll think of another way. I won't starve to death."
"Aunt Liu, don't worry." Qin Chuan smiled. "We can't set up stalls in Ma Yi Alley, let's go somewhere else. How about Rouge Alley near Heaven and Earth?"
"Rouge Lane?" Aunt Liu's eyes widened slightly, then she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, street vending is prohibited in Rouge Lane! It's all proper shops there, there isn't even a single peddler carrying a load on their shoulder, the street patrol officers will chase them away."
"Aunt Liu, I didn't say you could set up a stall."
"Not setting up a stall? Then... what will you do?"
"Open the shop," Qin Chuan uttered two words crisply and decisively.
"Open a shop?" Aunt Liu's face was full of disbelief. "What kind of shop would I open, a wonton vendor? The rent for a shop in Rouge Lane would be at least several taels of silver a month. I only earn a few copper coins per bowl of wontons!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, partly out of anxiety and partly because she genuinely felt that the whole thing was unreliable.
Qin Chuan smiled.
"Aunt Liu, who said you were allowed to sell wontons?"
"Then...what do you sell?"
Qin Chuan did not rush to answer.
He turned around, walked to the door, bent down and picked up a bamboo basket covered with a cloth from the ground outside.
After removing the cloth, a faint fishy smell wafted out; inside lay piled...
It's pig offal.
That is, pork kidneys and intestines, etc.
Aunt Liu looked down at the contents of the bundle, then looked up at Qin Chuan, somewhat puzzled: "Pig offal? This stuff isn't worth much; butchers on the street give it away as a bonus. What are you doing with this?"
"Aunt Liu, pig offal isn't worth much because nobody knows how to cook it." Qin Chuan pointed to the pig kidneys and intestines in the bamboo basket. "But if cooked well, these things are worth much more than wontons."
