Su Peng could see from afar several youths who were dressed neither like humans nor ghosts standing at the gate, one of whom was uncomfortably close to Xiaofeng, looking as if he had some ill intentions towards her.
Recalling what Zhao Xi had said, Su Peng quickly walked towards Xiaofeng.
Bai Xiangbing was still negotiating with Xiaofeng, "Don’t worry, I absolutely didn’t come to cause you trouble. I sincerely brought people here to work for you. Just let us know where there’s work, and we brothers will immediately get it done for you."
No matter what, he was a gang leader, and now he was lowering his voice to such an extent for a woman, almost being moved by his own actions.
"Feng." Su Peng approached, impressively standing before Xiaofeng, "What happened here?"
Being both tall and strong, Su Peng’s presence made Bai Xiangbing suddenly appear shorter, an observation that made Bai Xiangbing quite uncomfortable.
Why does a man need to be that tall anyway, does it show that you eat more?
"Brother, you’ve come just in time." Xiaofeng did not want to engage with Bai Xiangbing and the others, but if they were here to work, of course, she welcomed them, "Didn’t you say the sewer over there needed a few more hands? Take them over to help out, no need to pay them, just provide lunch."
Since they were here to work, they had to be assigned proper tasks, right?
Apparently, they were here to look for work. Su Peng had thought they were here to cause trouble, but from their attire, it seemed they were looking for office jobs.
"Since you’re here to look for work, come with me. If you do well, we will consider hiring you," Su Peng indeed took them as job seekers.
"You are Xiaofeng’s older brother?" Bai Xiangbing seemed to have just heard Xiaofeng calling him brother.
"You call my sister by her name directly?" Su Peng gave him a light glance.
"Otherwise, what? She is so young, I can hardly call her a ’madam,’" Bai Xiangbing chuckled, "Brother, rest assured, we are definitely good at working. Forget about the wages, just offering a meal is fine."
These guys probably get their three meals a day, and that’s why he needs to find a source of revenue to provide everyone with food and drink.
With food and drink, they naturally wouldn’t leave him and would continue being his subordinates.
"No wages?" Su Peng squinted, "You don’t have any designs on my sister, do you? I’ll have you know, I am a married man, and my sister has two kids. Besides, as someone who can only eat through manual labor, could you even support my sister?"
Bai Xiangbing scoffed internally, I certainly don’t want to support your sister, what I’m interested in is the wealth in your sister’s hands.
"I have no intentions towards your sister," Bai Xiangbing denied, "We brothers are just too idle at home and wanted a place to get some exercise."
"Alright, the coveralls are over there, change into them," Su Peng led them to the back of the store by a sewer, "Who among you will go down to help me handle this?"
"Cobra, Black Chicken, you two go down." As soon as the cover was opened, a stench filled the air.
"Boss, we don’t know this work," Cobra looked at the job and sulked, "Boss, I’d rather skip the lunch, okay?"
"No way, you have to do this work, whether you like it or not."
"Young Master." Ye Fei, looking sharp in his uniform, entered from outside, "Mr. Xu said he knows some information about the Xianxian case and invites you to dine at the Weiming Residence restaurant tonight."
Ye Cheng was reviewing case files and found several that seemed to relate to the Xianxian case. He didn’t look up, "Mr. Xu is inviting me?"
"Yes, Men Chao personally told me. Men Chao is one of Mr. Xu’s people, so there shouldn’t be any mistake."
"That Men Chao by Mr. Xu’s side is quite capable," Ye Fei appreciated Men Chao quite a bit, "He and that Yin Li, they were the ones Mr. Xu took in from the orphanage years ago, weren’t they?"
"Yes, Men Chao sees Mr. Xu almost like family, which is why he is very loyal to Mr. Xu." They were all familiar with Men Chao.
"Keep an eye on this Men Chao," Men Chao was not very talkative, but he was a sinister figure, especially in his attitude towards the Xu Family, which was somewhat strange.
"Master, do you suspect?"
"After all, he is an associate of the Xu Family, knowing the whereabouts of Men Chao essentially means knowing the dynamics of the Xu Family. Mr. Xu has been restless lately, it’s said he has secretly met with several important figures."
"And about tonight’s dinner?"
"Yes, of course we should go," Ye Cheng also wanted to see what this old fox Mr. Xu was planning.
"I’ll go give Men Chao a reply."
"Grandfather, Yecheng agreed, didn’t he?" Xu Xuezi’s voice trembled slightly. Surely, with her grandfather stepping in, it carried much more weight than if she appeared herself.
