A great harvest.
After sending the staff away, Sun Dasheng found Wu Xiaoli feeling terribly guilty. He ’comforted’ her properly in the second-floor office before having the investment company transfer five million to the internet cafe chain to square the accounts, preparing for the next harvest of experience points.
The following evening, he made a point to treat the district leaders to dinner, thanking them for their strong support of his company. During the meal, he inadvertently let the incident slip. The leaders simply laughed it off, and no one dwelled on the topic.
However, just a few days later, he heard that the petty official from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce who had been giving his internet cafe trouble was transferred to manage the archives. He was, so to speak, completely benched. From then on, the various inspectors who used to visit the internet cafe vanished.
These connections are truly domineering.
The residents of the villa community, who were all either rich or noble, had excellent channels for information. They soon learned all about their new neighbor’s powerful background. Naturally, word even reached the ’little demoness’ who was still in school, prompting her to pay him a personal visit.
"Today isn’t the weekend. Are you skipping class?" Sun Dasheng blocked her at the door, clearly displeased.
"Uncle Sun, can you please stop going on about me skipping class? I came to see you about something important today," Yang Xintian said, her face a mask of annoyance. I’m a college student, so what’s the big deal about skipping one class? I make it a point to skip my electives and pick and choose which required courses to skip.
The next second, Sun Dasheng grabbed her by the ear. "Skipping class has given you a sense of superiority, has it? I’m telling your parents about this later."
"OW! That hurts, it hurts! Uncle Sun, let go! Go on, tell them. I’m not afraid of them," Yang Xintian blustered.
"Oh? In that case, I’ll just tell your aunt."
That hit a nerve. She immediately admitted defeat. "Uncle Sun, there’s no need to trouble my aunt over such a trivial matter! I was wrong, please don’t tell her!"
"Heh heh... Weren’t you acting tough just a moment ago?" He released her ear. The little demoness rubbed her reddened ear, her frowning face looking surprisingly cute. Sun Dasheng ruffled her hair and led her inside. "Alright, spit it out. What do you need from me?"
Yang Xintian made herself right at home, grabbing a can of iced cola from the kitchen fridge. She took a huge swig. GULP... BURP. After a loud belch, she said, "I heard your background is super strong and powerful, Uncle Sun. I came to ask you to smooth something over."
"What kind of trouble did you get into this time?" Sun Dasheng chuckled. "Bullied by some Blondie at the bar? Need your Uncle Sun to go settle the score for you?"
Yang Xintian looked aggrieved. "Uncle Sun, you know I haven’t been to a bar since that whole matchmaking incident."
She was telling the truth. Since that scare, she hadn’t set foot in a bar again, realizing they weren’t filled with good people. She used to go often because she thought the people there were cool. Silly kid, what does she know? She just loves to follow the crowd.
"Alright, alright, tell me what’s wrong. What do you need my help with?" Sun Dasheng guided her to the sofa, stopping her from wandering around like a curious toddler, touching everything in sight. The three sisters still had quite a few of their personal belongings lying around.
"Uncle Sun, Sister Manman must have offended someone," Yang Xintian finally got to the point. "Lately, people have been showing up at her place to cause trouble. They’re saying if she doesn’t wise up, they’re going to shut her shop down for good."
He just said, "Oh," and nothing more.
He couldn’t be bothered to go out of his way to help her with this. They had only met by chance. It was one thing to help if he happened to be there, but there was no need to go looking for trouble. He wasn’t a sucker.
Yang Xintian seemed to read his mind. She hugged his arm and pleaded, "Uncle Sun, please, just help her for my sake. It’s really hard for her, supporting a whole family all by herself."
Seeing he was still unmoved, she resorted to her ultimate ’persuasion’ technique.
Sun Dasheng looked at the little head burrowing into his lap, feeling a bit helpless. This kid... why does she resort to this at the drop of a hat?
...
Half an hour later, she ran to the bathroom, covering her mouth.
「Eight o’clock in the evening.」
「At the lounge bar.」
There were exceptionally few customers tonight, likely because people had been coming in to cause trouble every night for the past couple of days. Standing anxiously by the door, Wang Manman spotted two familiar figures.
She immediately forced a smile. "Tian Tian, Mr. Sun, welcome! Please, have a seat. I’ll get you some of our new snacks."
But Yang Xintian stopped her. "Sister Manman, don’t worry about that. I brought Uncle Sun here today to help you solve your problem."
"Oh! In that case, I’ll find us a quiet spot."
Wang Manman’s words were a little redundant since the bar was practically empty; everywhere was a quiet spot. Then again, her statement wasn’t redundant at all; it was her way of showing how much she valued Sun Dasheng.
She led them to the most secluded booth in the lounge, well-hidden by privacy screens.
"I don’t think this was here before, was it?" Sun Dasheng asked casually.
"It’s a new booth. We just installed it based on customer suggestions," Wang Manman quickly explained.
Sun Dasheng nodded. This woman actually has a pretty good head for business. It’s just that her luck is terrible; she seems to run into every kind of misfortune.
"I’m going to the restroom," Yang Xintian said, seizing the chance to slip away and leave the two of them to talk.
"Mr. Sun, I have nothing to hide from you. I was saved last time thanks to your five hundred thousand, but now I’m in trouble and need your help again. I am so sorry to bother you, and so grateful that you would come all this way."
