V4C43 – Grandpa Liu (2/2)

“Oh, right! Buddy, you better not pursue Yang Mei anymore,” I didn’t care much about the matter as I said while patting Zheng Shaopeng’s shoulder.

“Ah?” Zheng Shaopeng had already understood the immensity of Heavens. He now knew his background in D City was nothing more than a fart when a company employee from another city could call for wind and rain here. It seems that B City was worthy of being the capital; there were a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He wondered if he should go to the capital tomorrow and work as a commis!

“That… Grandpa Liu, that was just a joke. I was simply playing around. How would I dare have any thoughts about your woman!” Zheng Shaopeng said nervously. He had just called Lu Yimin uncle, so according to seniority, he had to call me his grandfather.

“Forget it, buddy. Don’t call me Grandpa Liu, the relation between us is different!” To be honest, this Zheng Shaopeng didn’t seem to be such a rampant person, except, he was a bit lecherous though. I think that the conflict with that tax office chief must have been stirred up by that chief’s son.

As Zheng Shaopeng heard me call him buddy, his heart was budding in joy! Considering that Liu Yimin had called me uncle, wouldn’t he have to call him uncle as well! Zheng Shaopeng was obtaining great psychological pleasure while Zheng Huaqing understood what my calling him “buddy” meant for their Zheng Family. From Lu Haotao’s manner, Zheng Huaqing determined that I must be a high-level personnel from the Three Rock Gang, or at least, I was someone whom the authorities attach great importance to. Therefore, if their relationship with me was good, then Zheng Family would once more rise in D City just like the old days.

“It’s Chief Liu who has favored us,” Zheng Huaqing saw that his nephew was laughing like a fool now, he hurriedly pulled him back and said to him seriously.

“Alright, no need to call Chief Liu, Boss Liu, etc. I am just a Technical Director in a company,” I beckoned with my hand and said.

Technical Director? Lu Haotao had never been in the technology game or any high-level company so he obviously didn’t know what a technical director was. If I told him that I was a boss, then he could understand. But a technical director, what kind of position was that?

After thinking for half a day, Lu Haotao suddenly remembered that he had once watched a TV series where the leader of the thugs was called a director!

Important, he was definitely an important part of the leadership! Thinking till here, Lu Haotao scolded his son. It was great that they hadn’t stirred the anger of the director, otherwise, the consequences would have been really dire!

As he listened to the director talking about sending his son to Mars, he realized that there might be a double meaning to his words. What if he meant to say that he will make him vanish from Earth!

Lu Haotao was startled. With a flattering expression, he said, “Director Liu, I have prepared a grand banquet in D City’s most luxurious Harbour Resort in your honor. You can go there straight after you are done playing here. I will be waiting at the door, so I won’t bother you all anymore!”

As Lu Haotao just heard me no satisfied being called “Chief Liu,” he called me “Director Liu” as well as he thought he had inferred my identity correctly a moment ago. Since the director was the highest authority, therefore, he especially emphasized my superior status.

“There was no need for such an expense?” I said politely, but to be honest, I hadn’t had a meal since morning so I was really hungry right now.

“There’s no expense, really! The resort is part of our Three Rock Gang’s establishments!” Lu Haotao hastily replied and also emphasized the word “our” especially.

Now, the most surprised were Yang Mei’s parents. Especially, the expression Yang Mei’s mother had right now was marvelous. She just saw Little Zheng call his uncle to deal with the thugs, but both bit the dust before him and had to call him uncle. But I just made a call and the thug’s father himself ran over. And looking at his flattering expression, it was obvious he had come to lick my shoes.

And what was the Harbour Resort? It was the most luxurious resort in the city. An average person could certainly not afford a meal there. In her entire life, Mother Yang had never been close to that place. Now that she had an opportunity, she was obviously very excited. I noticed that the way she looked at me had changed completely. It was the same shiny look miners would have when they saw gold. It gave me a scare.
