34 Scam

After Louzheng hung up the knives, something magical happened. There was like a magical golden aura that exploded out of the knives and covered the restaurant. Though it happened in a flash, and for Louzheng and w.a.n.g Ming it happened so fast that they couldn't see it. But only felt a warm aura embrace them they felt comfortable by it, though they thought it was because of the hot weather, and not because of the knives.

Now the only things left to do for w.a.n.g Ming today was to convince Louzheng to work for him and practice making the dish.

"Louzheng, you are a great man. A loyal and kind man, a man I would love working under me in this restaurant. I can't give any promises on how long I can keep you hired. But I will pay you 150 yuan daily to work for me, being a waiter and a handyman in my restaurant. You deserve to be treated with respect more than what you get driving the taxi."

"I can't promise you that our customers will treat you with respect, but if a customer makes trouble for you without reason in this restaurant. I will kick them out."

w.a.n.g Ming knew that Louzheng was a quiet man that didn't talk much, but since he had worked as a taxi driver for a while, he should be able to talk with customers. But even if he wasn't good at talking as long as he wanted to learn, w.a.n.g Ming would have no problem with it.

"I Don't know Mister Ming, the taxi job isn't a great job. But it feeds me it's a consistent source of income for me. I know myself the only positives I have is that I'm hardworking and I'm strong. I don't know if I can handle being a waiter, what if you lose money because of me?" Hearing that w.a.n.g Ming wanted to hire him he felt excited, but then scared and anxious. Because he knew that he wasn't qualified, he didn't have strong social skills and were clumsy.

"Don't worry Louzheng, you will learn I promise it's easy. If everything goes well, I will even raise your salary so that one day you can buy your own house or taxi if you want to. I believe in you so the only thing I need is that you to believe in yourself."

Encouraging Louzheng with his words, w.a.n.g Ming waited excitedly for his reply. w.a.n.g Ming didn't need a professional waiter, but needed an a.s.sistant he could trust. Later on, he would entrust a lot more tasks to Louzheng.

He already had a plan. Louzheng, Peng Tong, Meng Hao would be big pieces in his plan to make his Food and Entertainment empire. He wasn't planning to take advantage of them, but share his empire with them, so they could all be rich and powerful together. Though he didn't tell anybody of his plan yet.

w.a.n.g Ming then used the next 20 minutes to convince Louzheng. He knew that Louzheng was only hesitant because he didn't feel like he was good enough. So w.a.n.g Ming kept pressing until Louzheng broke and finally agreed with him. The reason Louzheng finally agreed helping w.a.n.g Ming, was he felt like w.a.n.g Ming truly was a good person, and w.a.n.g Ming could help him become a better version of himself.

"Ok, then you won't regret it I promise you. Don't call me Mister Ming from now on just call me w.a.n.g Ming. We will be good friends from now on. After today, quit the taxi job and come to my restaurant early tomorrow, we will do a lot of testing the next three days so be prepared." w.a.n.g Ming would be in "closed cultivation," the next three days and perfect his braised pork belly.

Before he sent Louzheng away, he gave him a list of ingredients and 1000 yuan. These were crucial ingredients he needed to make the braised pork belly. On the list were items like Brown Sugar, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, dark Soy sauce and lots of different spices.

Leaving with the list Louzheng bowed to w.a.n.g Ming and said loudly "Thank you w.a.n.g Ming!" then closing the door behind him.

When Louzheng left w.a.n.g Ming couldn't help but smile and laugh out of joy, w.a.n.g Ming felt like he had helped someone today and it felt great. Though his restaurant would need to generate a lot of money to allow him to help more and more people.

Having nothing to do for now, since the meat wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, w.a.n.g Ming headed out and asked Peng Tong out for a drink. He still needed to thank him for all the help. Helping him find his restaurant and all the help from his underlings.

Calling Peng Tong, it surprised him to hear that Peng Tong was also calling to find him. It seemed like they both had the same thoughts when calling each other, as they both said at the same time.

"Hey Little Tong let's go out for a drink as a thank you for finding me that restaurant."

"Big Bro, where are my thanks for finding you that restaurant?

Which made both of them laugh, then w.a.n.g Ming said.

"Ok Ok, as the big brother I will pay for drinks. Let's go to the bar we went to the last time. Meet me there in 15 minutes." The bar w.a.n.g Ming and Peng Tong went to last time, was close to w.a.n.g Ming's restaurant so it would take him 10 minutes maximum to make his way there.

Peng Tong was shocked hearing that w.a.n.g Ming wanted to go for a drink now. The clock was about 4pm. Which normal person would go out and drink at 4pm on a normal day? But since Peng Tong wasn't a normal person, he agreed to meet w.a.n.g Ming.

Making his way to the bar, he could see many people walking around. Probably since it was 4pm most people done from their jobs and started to roam the markets or walking home. There shouldn't be that many people at the bars yet, but when he arrived at the bar. There were many people there already. It wasn't overcrowded, but enough people to fill the tables and chairs, there were also already people that was dancing to the music and looked like they were drunk already.

Seeing that Peng Tong wasn't there yet, w.a.n.g Ming ordered two drinks for them, which cost him roughly 20 yuan each. While waiting, he suddenly heard a woman scream and a resounding sound of a slap. Looking towards the dance floor he saw a man whose head was wet, and a woman lying on the ground while holding her hand to her face.

At first, w.a.n.g Ming didn't want to help her, since he didn't want to make trouble for himself. Looking around, he noticed many people looking at the couple, but no one went out to help. They just laughed and pointed while talking about it.

But then w.a.n.g Ming saw the man slowly step towards the woman and readying himself to slap her one more time. He couldn't help himself and went to intervene. He knew that it was a stupid choice, but seeing a defenseless woman being treated like that, it didn't sit right with him.

"Hey Stop what you're doing!"

Then moving towards the dance floor, w.a.n.g Ming grabbed the man's hand from hitting the woman. And lightly pushed him away, but it seemed like the man had drunk a little too much. So he stumbled and fell, but since it didn't seem like he got any injuries from it, w.a.n.g Ming didn't care and went to help the woman.

"Hey are you ok? What happened why did he slap you?"

Seeing the red mark on her face, w.a.n.g Ming couldn't help but curling his fingers into a fist and digging them deep into his hand. He couldn't fathom why someone would treat a woman like this. Seeing that she struggled to get up from the floor, w.a.n.g Ming helped her by grabbing both of her arms and pull her up. When she saw that w.a.n.g Ming helped her to get up, she smiled not because she was happy but because the prey had taken the bait.

As soon as w.a.n.g Ming used his arms to help her up, she screamed even louder this time but said, "A Pervert! A Pervert!" Then a man came running out with his three underlings while screaming "Who are you to touch my girlfriend!" He looked like to be the leader and mastermind behind all of this.

The leader then looked at the man lying on the floor and his woman and winked at them, this was the signal to start everything. They were both in on the scam. Their scam was extorting people. They were someone that would extort the weak and would fear the strong. Seeing w.a.n.g Ming sitting in a wheelchair, they thought that this would be easy money.

w.a.n.g Ming didn't understand why the woman suddenly screamed, but then understood everything when the men came out. He also realized that he was naïve and hated himself for it.
