47 The Opening Day (1/2)

The time was now 10.30 am. Wang Ming, in his red traditional Chinese dress, stood outside of his shop and waited for his friends. He hoped later that when they ignited the firecrackers, it would attract some curious customers to the restaurant. He had already hung up the firecrackers at the front of the building, one on the left and one on the right. He also hung up the ribbon in front of the store, he had prepared 5 scissors so him, Meng Hao, Lang Lin, Peng Tong and Fu Chunhua could cut it together. Having them cut the ribbon with him was a way for him to say that he considered them close friends and a part of the restaurant.

Waiting for 5 minutes he saw his first guest arrive, it was none other than Peng Tong. Today, Peng Tong looked good, since usually he only wears casual clothes or even clothes that made him look like a thug. But today he wore a black suit, which made him look more like a businessman than someone from the underworld. Peng Tong looked like a VIP, especially with 50 of his underlings walking behind him all in a suit, but no one wore black the same color as Peng Tong. One thing Wang Ming didn't know though was how much stress he gave Peng Tong by inviting him.

After Peng Tong got Wang Ming's call yesterday, he instantly went to the closest clothing shop to buy a suit. But not knowing what looked good he had to call reinforcements which was his underlings. And after an hour they finally found the perfect suit for him, then he had to get a haircut and lastly get a present for Wang Ming. Peng Tong initially thought that he could give money to Wang Ming, but in China, giving money as a present in business can be considered as bribery. He didn't want to give Wang Ming any unnecessary trouble.

But then Peng Tong thought for a long time about a lot of other presents he could give. But nothing seemed to be right, gold, and such could be a good gift but weren't as practical as money, especially since he knew that Wang Ming needed money. There was no point in giving Wang Ming gold if he had to sell it soon after, so he decided to give Wang Ming a red packet. It was a gift from a little brother to a big brother it would most likely not create any problems. Peng Tong also decided to take with him many of his underlings and made them all buy a suit each, this would bring prestige to Wang Ming's status and restaurant.

”Congratulations Big Brother Ming! This Little Brother doesn't have much other than a bit of money and some underlings. So I came with both today. I hope you can accept my red packet and my congratulations.”

As soon as Peng Tong spoke, he and all of his underlings all bowed to Wang Ming and shouted congratulations. The people who were roaming the streets thought there were a gang war that was erupting and tried to hide as soon as they heard the shouts. But after some minutes they saw nothing happened and realized that there was a restaurant opening, which intrigued many of them. What restaurant owner had so much face and such a big background making so many people to come and congratulate him?

Though for Wang Ming, the only thing he was thinking after seeing what Peng Tong had done for him. Was that one of the best decisions Wang Ming had done in his life was to become brothers with Peng Tong, even a good deal of blood-related brothers wasn't so good to each other as how Peng Tong was to him. Wang Ming once again vowed to himself that he would do anything for this brother of his.

Then taking the red packet, Wang Ming didn't want to open it, but Peng Tong and his underlings wouldn't stop bowing until he did. He once again felt shocked to see that there were 88888 yuan in the red packet. 8 is a lucky number in China because it sounds like Fa, which means wealth, fortune and prosperity in Chinese.

”Thank you, little brother. I have received your sincerity. I vow to you right here and now, that will be brothers till the day I die and even in our next lives.”

”Me too Big Brother, Me Too.”

Seeing how much money there was in the red packet, Wang Ming didn't want to take the red packet. But he knew that Peng Tong would never take the red packet back, so it would be better for him to just accept Peng Tong's sincerity. After Wang Ming took the red packet Peng Tong, then made his underlings stand in a group of five and away from the restaurant not overcrowd Wang Ming's restaurant. There would be more people coming for the opening ceremony if there were 50 people standing in front of the restaurant then no one could see.

Wang Ming was in an ecstatic mood. With his great food and support from his friends, how could he not succeed? But, of course, life is never so easy. As soon as you think you are good, then it's like a higher being want to fuck with you, just for their own enjoyment. Wang Ming had enough problems already, but a new one not only knocked on his door but slammed it down.

Wang Ming's mood went from heaven and down to hell because of the group he saw marching towards him. He didn't see any problems with the group that were walking towards his restaurant at first, but when the group of people in front of him took of their jackets and revealed their police uniforms and then he saw Weng Ting step out from the group. Wang Ming knew that he was here for trouble and the person in the front was the superintendent he had talked about. The police group then all took out a baton in their hands and had a menacing look in their face while walking towards him and Peng Tong.

The police group kept advancing closer and closer to Wang Ming and Peng Tong. Even Peng Tong felt threatened, so he whistled to his underlings and in 10 seconds they had all lined up behind and beside him. Peng Tong wasn't afraid of the police, but understood that the underworld had to have harmony with both the police and people, else the police would eradicate them. Though it wasn't everybody from the underworld that understood this, and those were the people that harmed the society.

The police then stopped 1 meter, in front of Wang Ming, Peng Tong and his underlings. Then the leader called Bo Hou Zhang, which was Weng Ting's friend, came forward and said.

”Hello, I'm superintendent Bo Hou Zhang. I'm here today to catch Wang Ming. I'm here to get him for slander against Weng Ting, making him lose his job and family. And Weng Ting also says to have witnessed him sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Please cooperate and come back with us, else we will have to use force.”

This was just an excuse for them to bring Wang Ming with them after taking Wang Ming. Bo Hou Zhang and Weng Ting would drug Wang Ming, then throw him on the bed with a 10-year-old girl, and catch him on the bed. Then there would be full evidence and the lightest punishment would be 3 years, but the worst could be the death sentence.
