American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The next day, he got up early again, said hello to the woman, and took Ye Zimei to the teahouse again.

After sleeping for two nights, this woman finally revealed her name.

Her maiden name was Chen, originally just the character 'Hong' (red), but later the character 'Yan' (beauty) was added, which was like a stage name. She started doing business after she lost her virginity at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Despite her youthful appearance, she had been working as a 'half-open door' (a euphemism for a prostitute) for two or three years.

Having come from a professional background in this field, she was skilled at serving people. Young and flexible, she spoke softly, and her face was passable. Most importantly, she was obedient, enduring any treatment without complaint, which made her very popular.

Furthermore, she possessed some ability to read people's expressions and intentions. In this chaotic and information-filled metropolis, even though she was at the bottom of society, she was actually doing quite well.

At the very least, she had three meals a day, her own small courtyard. She didn't have a lot of money, but she had a steady stream of small income, and every now and then, there was a man in her home.

Her life was not much different from that of an open-minded white-collar woman in later generations.

Having an apartment in the great metropolis, that would be the envy of so many people in later generations.

Today the weather was good, and various vendors pushed their carts out early in the morning.

Qi Shan casually bought a rice ball, eating as he walked, and discovered that the taste was almost the same as it would be 100 years later. People say that food is constantly improving, but it seems that the ancestors also had good things.

Qi Shan frowned: "Keep it short!"

"Okay, I'm getting to the point right away.

Since there was work, someone had to guard it. The Axe Gang sent a dozen people to guard the dock. Who knew that something would suddenly happen, and all these dozen people died.

No one knows who did it. We were walking well on the road, and suddenly fell to the ground, then blood flowed from our bodies.

I heard it was a gunshot wound, someone was sniping from a distance, and shot all these people to death. This matter is no small matter. I heard that even the Axe Gang's advisor was alarmed and came in person yesterday.

When the rain stopped in the afternoon, a dense crowd surrounded the entire dock, and screams could be heard from inside from time to time, which did not dissipate until late at night!"

The waiter smiled: "When I got up to open the door this morning, I made a point of going to the dock to take a look.

It was empty. The Axe Gang had already withdrawn, but there were still people staying in the neighboring restaurant, with 4 Axe Gang people guarding the door, who didn't seem to be of low status.

I guess they are looking for the murderer these two days!"

After speaking, the waiter straightened up instantly and shouted loudly: "A pot of newly picked Biluochun tea, four kinds of dried fruit and two kinds of peach酥. Sir, please wait a moment!"

The waiter's shout alarmed the people around him, who turned their heads to look, wanting to see who it was, ordering so many things early in the morning, and it looked like they were going to spend the whole day in the teahouse?

Shopkeeper Liu was also alarmed, exchanged a look with the waiter, saw him nod secretly, and made a gesture of a rich man, and quickly walked out from behind the counter.

Shopkeeper Liu clasped his hands and said with a smile: "This guest, welcome, thank you for your business at our humble shop.

Forgive me for speaking frankly, but you look a little unfamiliar, are you from out of town? My surname is Liu. Seeing that you, sir, are so handsome and have an unspeakable aura just sitting there, I admire you, so I took the liberty to say a word!"

Qi Shan nodded, clasped his hands and cupped his fists, as a return salute, and said: "Shopkeeper is polite, I just came from Shandong, my surname is Qi, this is my younger sister! Actually, my sister and I are patronizing your business for the second time, but yesterday it rained heavily, and the shopkeeper didn't notice!"

Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and said: "Oh, that's really my fault. I don't know what business Mr. Qi is in?"

Seeing Shopkeeper Liu constantly looking at the clothes on Qi Shan and Ye Zimei, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Qi Shan's heart moved, and he said directly: "I just arrived and haven't got a clue yet, but everyone says that the great metropolis is full of gold, and the Axe Gang has a reputation, so I have a yearning!"

Shopkeeper Liu hesitated, swallowed, as if he had made up his mind: "Since this is the case, I will give a gift to Mr. Qi, but I don't know if you dare to accept it!"

Qi Shan raised his eyebrows: "Shopkeeper Liu, just say what you have to say!"

"There is a kid named Bai Kainan, in his 20s, with greasy hair and a face full of powder, who specializes in hooking up with women. This kid goes out in a car, stays in hotels, always big hotels, and casually rewards the doorman with hundreds of dollars. He looks like a young master from a rich family, but he is actually just a gigolo.

Recently, the guy surnamed Bai has been looking for food nearby. I will give Mr. Qi the address. I don't know if you are interested in this piece of fat?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, there's more to your words!"

As soon as Qi Shan finished saying this, the waiter walked over with a tray, and Qi Shan quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

The waiter said with a smile: "Sir, your Biluochun tea is ready, this is the dessert and dried fruit, please enjoy!"

As soon as the waiter put down the things and looked up, he was startled by the shopkeeper's old face: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"

Shopkeeper Liu said with a dark face: "It's none of your business, get out of here! Go and wipe the tables in the back clean, I'll deduct your wages if there's a bit of grease."

The waiter curled his lips and complained in a low voice: "Isn't it just that the teahouse doesn't make money, and you have to sell soy milk to fill the hole? What's there to be angry about! Your daughter even brought her son-in-law home, and I didn't see you happy, and you even pushed people outside.

Last time Doctor Hu said that you were impetuous and had excessive internal heat, and you said that he was a quack doctor, I think you are just irritable!"

The shopkeeper glared: "What are you saying!"

The waiter shrank his neck and ran away in a puff of smoke.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly: "This kid is my nephew, he always speaks without respect for elders, and his mouth is full of nonsense, please don't mind, sir!"
