212: Chapter 210: Wife’s Savings Book 212: Chapter 210: Wife’s Savings Book Seeing Xu Hu’s evaluating gaze, Lengzi also glared back at him.
Being glared at like this, Xu Hu felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife, and he was secretly alarmed by how sharp Lengzi’s eyes were.
Encountering such a young expert incited a bit of interest in him.
His gaze quickly shifted to Tangyu, who was sitting face to face with Lengzi.
Xu Hu was taken aback and wondered if this young man with Divine Power could be Tangyu’s friend?
He knew of Tangyu’s strength, which was certainly enough to easily overpower him.
“Brother Tangyu,” Xu Hu greeted him.
Upon seeing Xu Hu, Tangyu also immediately stood up and with a welcoming smile said, “Brother Hu has arrived, please take a seat first.
My friend Lengzi hasn’t eaten his fill yet.”
“Oh, okay.” Xu Hu’s gaze quickly swept over the five empty large bowls on the table, and his lips twitched unconsciously, marveling that eating so much still wasn’t enough.
The origin of this Innate Divine Strength was indeed no joke.
Xu Hu waved at his two followers, signaling them to sit aside.
Lengzi turned back to the still dazed shop owner and said, “Where are my five bowls of noodles?
Hurry up and serve them, I’m starving.”
“Ah, right, right.” The shop owner finally snapped back to reality, quickly nodded and his eyes also showed some gratitude.
Of course, that gratitude was mixed with some worry.
Lengzi’s eyes then turned back to Xu Hu, and he grinned, “You must be the Brother Hu my boss mentioned.
Looks like you’ve trained too, huh?
But your strength probably isn’t that great.
I’ll show you a few moves given the chance.”
Despite being told his strength wasn’t much, Xu Hu wasn’t upset at all, and even laughed, “Heh, yeah, I was even beaten up by Brother Tangyu last time.
I should really learn a few tricks from this brother when there’s a chance.”
Lengzi grinned oddly, glanced at Xu Hu and said, “With your level of strength, you still want to challenge my boss?
Even if I give it my all, I’m no match for him.
If my boss really got serious, he could take you down with a single move without you even realizing it.”
“Uh…” Xu Hu was indeed shocked by Lengzi’s words, and he looked at Tangyu somewhat stunned.
Defeated in a single move?
If that was true, then the gap was indeed enormous.
But having just witnessed Lengzi’s Innate Divine Strength, even he admitted he was no match for Tangyu.
It seemed that his words must be the truth.
It appeared that Xu Hu had greatly underestimated Tangyu, who had hidden most of his true strength.
Xu Hu felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of befriending such a powerful individual.
“Brother Hu, don’t listen to his nonsense.
Your strength is quite impressive too,” Tangyu said with a laugh.
Lengzi made a face as if wanting to say something more, but Tangyu’s glance quelled him, and he sullenly shut his mouth.
“Brother Hu, let me introduce you.
This is my best friend Lengzi, we’ve been playing together since we were kids.
He possesses Innate Divine Strength, so don’t be surprised,” Tangyu explained.
“Heh, I can tell.
Pleased to meet you,” Xu Hu chuckled.
Xu Hu immediately looked at Tangyu and asked, “Brother Tangyu, did you call me here because you want me to make arrangements for Brother Lengzi?”
“Yes, Brother Hu, I was wondering if that would be possible?” Tangyu nodded.
Xu Hu immediately nodded, “Brother, what are you talking about?
There’s no trouble at all, Brother Lengzi can stay with me.”
“Heh, thanks in advance, Brother Hu.
But I want him to do some stuff with you for now since he’s new here and not familiar with everything.
I’m busy with work lately and don’t have the time to accompany him, so I hope you can help him.
Let him get to know the life in Donglin City quickly.
See the scene or whatever, or if there are any jobs he can do,” Tangyu explained.
“Why thank you, we’re all brothers here, just come over to my place,” Xu Hu said.
Lengzi looked at Xu Hu and said, “First off, I want to make it clear that I don’t do menial tasks or run errands as a little brother.”
“Cough, cough, Brother Lengzi, you worry too much.
We’re all brothers here; I wouldn’t make you do that kind of stuff.
I will just hand over my territory to you, how about you become the boss?” Xu Hu proposed.
“Ah, become the boss?
That sounds like a really good deal, you aren’t kidding, are you?” Lengzi immediately grinned, a gleam appearing in his eyes.
“I wouldn’t dare fool you,” Xu Hu laughed.
Lengzi nodded, slapped Xu Hu on the shoulder, which sank under Lengzi’s heavy hand as if pressed by a mountain.
Feeling the terrifying force of Lengzi firsthand, Xu Hu’s lips twitched, realizing just a light slap from him felt like breaking his bones.
“Heh, sorry, I went a bit heavy there,” Lengzi chuckled apologetically and withdrew his hand.
“No worries, no worries.” Xu Hu pushed at his shoulder, feeling a bit relieved.
“Brother Hu, if I manage your territory and become the boss, what will you do?” Lengzi asked, his fondness for Xu Hu growing.
“You be the head boss, and I’ll be the second in command, heh, from now on I’ll listen to you,” Xu Hu said.
Lengzi immediately shook his large head, “No, no, that won’t do.
You’re my boss’s friend; I can’t just take your position like that.
You stay as the head boss, and I’ll be the second.
I’ll just help you manage the scene, and if there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word.
I’m not good at many things, but I excel at fighting.
You know how it is in our line of work; there’s often need for a scuffle, just call me whenever.”
“Heh, sure,” Xu Hu laughed, content to have such a powerful ally by his side.
His turf was now as secure as Mount Tai.
Things had been quite troublesome lately; he had been butting heads with several other leaders.
“Lengzi, fight if you must, but mind your strength.
Don’t go knocking someone out with one punch, then you really can’t stay in Donglin City,” Tangyu advised.
“No way, no way, boss I know that killing someone is illegal, I’ll be careful.
Just for you, boss, I can’t do anything illegal, right?
I understand the consequences,” Lengzi said.
Xu Hu too couldn’t help but chuckle.
It was indeed a problem if Lengzi really ended up killing someone, that would be troublesome.
Five bowls of noodles were quickly served, and Lengzi gobbled them down, witnessing a miracle.
In less than five minutes, he had devoured all five huge bowls, leaving not a drop of soup.
Such speed also left Xu Hu speechless.
He had seen big eaters, but never one with such an appetite.
“Ah, that was satisfying, comfortable, I haven’t enjoyed a meal this much in a long time, so delicious,” Lengzi said, contentedly patting his stomach.
“Haha, Brother Lengzi is really generous!
As long as you want to eat, I’ll let you eat your fill every day,” Xu Hu chuckled.
Lengzi smiled at Xu Hu and asked, “Really, Brother Hu, every meal until I’m full?
You won’t limit how much I can eat?”
“Not at all, you can eat however much you want, I’m not so stingy about food.
Every meal, you can eat your fill,” Xu Hu replied.
“Hehe, that’s great.
I love nothing more than feasting every day.
But I do eat a lot, especially if there’s alcohol, then even more.
Brother Hu, you better not blame me later for bankrupting you,” Lengzi grinned and chuckled.
“Haha, Brother Lengzi, if you can eat me out of house and home, I’d be happy about it.
I budget a thousand yuan a day for your food, which only adds up to thirty thousand a month.
It won’t bankrupt me, haha,” Xu Hu laughed heartily.
Lengzi was startled, “A thousand yuan a day, that’s almost a tenth of my wife’s dowry fund.
Does it really cost that much?”
“This place is expensive, with the way you eat and drink, a thousand yuan a day isn’t much,” Tangyu said.
“Oh my, that’s scary.
I’ve saved for many years, only managing to gather ten thousand yuan for my wife’s dowry.
I thought bringing my wife’s dowry would at least let me live here for a year or so.
Now it’s only enough for ten days, what a terrifying paradise,” Lengzi said.
“Haha.” Xu Hu was amused and said, “Brother Lengzi, ten thousand won’t even get you a wife here.
But no worries, getting a wife is easy, there’s plenty to choose from.
If you like a girl, just tell me, and I’ll set it up, haha.”
“That won’t do, I’m not that casual of a person.
I have high standards for a wife,” Lengzi shook his head and said.
“Haha.” Xu Hu couldn’t stop laughing, really an interesting person.
“Alright, let’s not discuss this issue for now.
It’s getting late, I need to head to the company.
Boss, the bill,” Tangyu said.
The restaurant owner immediately came over with a grateful expression and said, “No need, this meal is on me.
You just helped me a great deal, and I haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
Lengzi shook his big head and said, “How could that be right?
There’s no such thing as a free meal.
I wasn’t really helping you, I just dislike those two guys.
So, I don’t want your gratitude.
Just tell me how much, my boss is in a hurry.”
“Then—just give a hundred,” the store owner said.
Xu Hu immediately took out his wallet and said, “I’ll pay.”
Lengzi also took out his wife’s dowry fund wrapped in a plastic bag, stopping Xu Hu and said, “No need, no need, I’ve got money.
I’ll pay for it.”
Unable to argue with Lengzi, Xu Hu let it be.
Internally he smiled, finding Lengzi to be really honest.
People from the countryside were usually straightforward and worthy of deep friendship.
“Let’s go.” After paying the bill, the group got up and left.
Upon stepping out of the restaurant, Lengzi’s gaze fell on the white Range Rover parked at the door, Xu Hu’s ride.
Seeing such a wild and aggressive car, Lengzi was momentarily captivated, “Hehe, such a cool car, I like this kind of car.”
“If you like it, I’ll give it to you,” Xu Hu chuckled.
Lengzi shook his head and said, “That won’t do, I just said I like it, didn’t say I wanted it.
It’s too expensive, I can’t accept it.
My mom said not to casually take things from others.”
“Why not?
You’re my second-in-command now, It’s only right that I assign you a car.
I won’t give it to you then, just assign it for your use.
When you’re not working with me anymore, just return it to me,” Xu Hu said.
Lengzi hesitated and looked at Tangyu for advice.
“Brother Hu is offering it for your use, just accept it for now.
You’ve always liked a dominant car to play with,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe.” Lengzi, somewhat embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and said to Xu Hu, “Alright Brother Hu, I’ll use it for now, and return it to you later.
Whenever you need something done, just call on me.”
“Hehe, here’s the key.
You don’t have a driver’s license, do you?
I’ll sort that out for you later, so it’ll be more convenient in the future,” Xu Hu said.
“Right, thanks, Brother Hu,” Lengzi nodded.
He knew how to drive, but he didn’t have a license.
