The shortie wasn't lying, and if he knew Yuan Zhibang was Hao Jian's little brother-in-law, he would probably rush over without stopping.
"Such talent, and you actually wanted to kill him? Are you blind?" Hao Jian said with a sneer.
"I'll promote him to Hall Master right away," the shortie hurriedly said, his face ingratiating as he looked at Hao Jian.
"Hall Master? Is that a fitting title for him? I want him to be the Gang Leader!" Hao Jian said directly, pointing at Fatty.
Upon hearing this, Fatty was stunned, the shortie was stunned, Yuan Zhibang was stunned, everyone was stunned.
Hao Jian actually wanted Fatty to be the Gang Leader? What about the shortie? Was Hao Jian forcing the shortie to become Fatty's underling?
The shortie also wore a look of disbelief; Hao Jian wanted him to be Fatty's underling?
"What, not happy about it?" Hao Jian said mockingly as he looked at the shortie.
"Mr. Hao Jian, this... this isn't quite proper, is it? First of all, he's never been the boss before, and what if he messes up the gang? How would the brothers under him get by?" the shortie said with a forced smile, obviously unwilling.
Who would be willing to go from boss to underling?
"So you are unhappy then? Fine..." Hao Jian said with a strange smile and then told Brother Tian, "Tonight, take your brothers and clean out his place, and while you're at it, finish him off too!"
"Yes, Mr. Hao Jian!" Brother Tian said respectfully, not daring to go against Hao Jian's will.
This turned the shortie's face completely green; he wasn't a fool, how could he not see that Hao Jian was doing this deliberately?
"I agree, I agree to let him be the boss!" the shortie said with a pained expression, knowing that he had no choice now; if he didn't let his own Fatty become the boss, he wouldn't even be able to save his own life.
Hao Jian was clearly using his power to force him to submit.
And Fatty was completely dumbfounded; the shortie actually agreed? He was going to become the boss just like that?
"I knew you would agree. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were a cultured and reasonable person," Hao Jian said with a curious expression.
"Yes... yes... I'm very cultured and reasonable," the shortie was on the verge of tears, looking like he had lost his parents.
"Alright, cultured and reasonable you two, get out of here!" Hao Jian said rudely as he waved off the shortie and Brother Tian, clearly telling them to get lost.
"Mr. Hao Jian, I've recently got a batch of fine imported liquor, so I wanted to invite you to taste it," Brother Tian said busily, trying to ingratiate himself with Hao Jian.
"Mr. Hao Jian, I've just opened a new restaurant, and hired a chef from a five-star hotel to cook. Are you interested?" the shortie also chimed in, he was naturally trying to invite Hao Jian for a meal, then suck up to him and continue being the boss.
But Hao Jian merely glanced at them indifferently and said coldly: "Am I that familiar with you?"
"This... not really..."
The smiles on Brother Tian and the shortie's faces had already frozen.
"Since we're not, what makes you think you have the right to invite me to dinner? Who do you think you are? Get lost!" Hao Jian scolded them bluntly.
Both the shortie and Brother Tian couldn't help but give a bitter smile, but they also dared not stay any longer and had to walk away together.
The underlings followed their bosses and left the area, leaving only Hao Jian and his people, and Gao Xiaolong, whose face had turned pale with fright!
"Get out of this school, and don't let me see you again!" Hao Jian said to Gao Xiaolong with a cold face.
Gao Xiaolong lowered his head, with tears swirling in his eyes, feeling aggrieved to the extreme.
But as Gao Xiaolong burst into tears, everyone just sneered, not feeling pity for him but rather thinking he got what he deserved. In this world, the tears of the weak are never worth pitying.
"Get out!" Hao Jian barked sharply.
Gao Xiaolong stood up, like a woman, wiping his tears as he ran off into the distance.
"Brother-in-law, thank you." Yuan Zhibang came over and thanked Hao Jian.
But Hao Jian simply nodded lightly and said, "Remember from now on, don't resist when you can't handle things yourself, go find your parents."
"Got it." Yuan Zhibang nodded earnestly.
"Alright then, have fun, I'm off," Hao Jian said and was about to leave.
"Hao Jian, do you have something to do?" At that moment, Yuan Shanshan couldn't help but speak up to keep Hao Jian from leaving.
"Nothing, what's up, do you have something?" Hao Jian frowned and asked Yuan Shanshan.
"If you're free, I'd like to invite you to dinner," Yuan Shanshan said her true thoughts, somewhat shyly.
Because this was equivalent to her making a move on Hao Jian.
"Dinner?" Hao Jian thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I'm kind of hungry myself."
"You agreed?" Yuan Shanshan asked Hao Jian in surprise.
"Who wouldn't go when invited to a free meal? I'd be a fool not to," Hao Jian chuckled.
Then, he truly played the fool.
As they were sitting at a spicy hotpot stand, staring at each other in disbelief.
Aside from Yuan Shanshan, who was enjoying her meal, Yuan Zhibang and the others were all struck dumb, in disbelief.
Yuan Shanshan's idea of inviting him for a meal turned out to be freaking spicy hotpot.
Hao Jian felt the urge to flip the table, glaring at Yuan Shanshan and said, "Is this what you call inviting someone to dinner?"
"Of course, don't be polite. Order whatever you want, eat whatever you like," Yuan Shanshan replied with a very generous attitude, urging Hao Jian and the others to eat.
