Liu Chen and Wu Sheng originally made an appointment to go bowling together in the afternoon, but because something was canceled temporarily, Liu Chen was idle, so he simply accompanied his father to set up a stall together.

Liu Chen took the initiative to stand up and roll up his sleeves to help shout, picked up a few strings of beautiful pendants and said to the passers-by: "Walk by, come and see, the latest New Year's ornaments." ”

Because Liu Chen's image is too contrasting, a handsome guy dressed fashionably, with a denim leather jacket and sunglasses will set up a stall so down-to-earth, which soon attracted the attention of passers-by, especially those girls, and most of the toy pendants here are also the favorite of these girls.

In order to talk to the handsome guy, they deliberately pulled their companions over to choose, and asked Liu Chen all kinds of questions from time to time, such as how these pendants look good, why do they come to set up a stall, Liu Chen said that he came to help his father when he was off today, such a handsome guy with filial piety, let these girls be full of even more, and the stall that was deserted just now was suddenly full of people.

Liu Chen is also talkative, and he can talk to everyone all over the world, no matter whether he can make a deal or not, if he talks about his feelings, he will naturally take care of his father's business in the future.

For a whole afternoon, the things that my father put on the big red cloth were almost sold out, and he took out a lot of them from the basket, and after a rough calculation, he could probably earn 500 yuan, which was so much in half a day, but his father was very happy, he knew that it was his son's credit, so he took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Liu Chen: "Thanks to you today, this is for you, take it to buy cigarettes." ”

Liu Chen didn't dare to accept his father's money, waved his hand and said, "This money is your hard-earned money, keep it for yourself to buy some delicious food, I don't need it." ”

Guan Shaoqing insisted on giving the fortress to Liu Chen, and said: "Take it, you will take it if Dad gives it to you, what are so many words." ”

Liu Chen knew that his father was happy today, so in order not to spoil his father's happiness, Liu Chen had no choice but to accept his father's reward.

With Liu Chen's publicity and promotion, sure enough, in the next few days, my father's stall business has improved a lot, and he can basically have a stable income of 100-150 every day. Liu Chen is very relieved to see that his father can earn a stable income by his own ability, he used to see his father with a sad face, but now he can see his father return home with a smile every day, this is a happy life.

There are always all kinds of conflicts of interest that you can't think of in the business field, and even if you are in peace, you will still be forced to get into such disputes. Guan Shaoqing's business began to gradually improve, and it became the most popular stall in several alleys on Haiwan Road, and the uncles and aunts who set up stalls with him also got better. As a result, their alley has become the focus of some people's care.

This afternoon, Liu Chen came to the Penghu Bay Community, Xiaomei was about to start school, and was going to take her to buy some books. He knocked on the door and went in, and found that his father was talking to Aunt Lin, and the second elder had a sad face, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

Liu Chen walked over and asked, "Dad, Aunt Lin, what are you talking about?" By the way, Dad, why did you close the stall so early today, is the business too good and the things sold out?" But he immediately saw the two baskets of things that his father was setting up a stall behind the door, and it seemed that he hadn't sold much.

Speaking of this, Dad's face became even more ugly, he frowned and said: "Alas, if this is the case, it would be good, today I set up a stall with a few business friends, and suddenly a few children with dyed hair and tattoos came to us with a fierce look, they said that this is their boss's territory, and we need to pay 500 yuan per person for protection, otherwise we will collect the stall and go home." 500 yuan, we can't earn this amount for three days, we can't pay the protection fee, so we can only collect the stall and go home, alas!"

Aunt Lin also sighed on the side, at this time Liu Chen's face was already a little ugly, thinking of his father's early and greedy stalls, earning a meager income, but still suffering this kind of crime, he couldn't help but feel very sad when he was angry, and he couldn't wait to beat those few people who didn't have long eyes now.

"Dad, it's okay, you go to the stall immediately, and I'll go with you. Liu Chen suggested.

Dad didn't look at it, and sighed: "Even if you go, you will be driven back, we can't take out so much money." ”

Liu Chen comforted: "Dad, now is a society under the rule of law, if they come again, I will call the police, it's okay, let's go." ”

So Liu Chen followed his father to the place where the stall was set up again, and his father put out his things one by one with trepidation, looking around from time to time. Sure enough, it didn't take long for three young people to walk towards Liu Chen and them.

"Old man, why are you here again, are you here to give protection money?" asked a leader with a smile, and the two younger brothers behind also laughed.

The father didn't speak, but looked at his son blankly. Liu Chen patted his father's shoulder to put him at ease, and then stepped forward to pull the leader aside and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to collect protection money?"

The leader shook off Liu Chen's hand and said arrogantly: "This is our boss's territory, what are you, hurry up and get the money." ”

"Who is your boss?" asked Liu Chen calmly.

The leader was about to get angry, but he found something on his waist, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a knife, which had been cut through it. He couldn't help but tremble for a while, and replied obediently: "Our boss is Boss Hu of Changhe Energy, known as Hu Laosan. ”

"Where do you stay?"

The leader didn't want to say it at first, but Liu Chen pushed the knife forward, and the leader was so frightened that he quickly replied: "He is in the Changbei bar on Zhongxing Street." ”

Liu Chen didn't doubt the words of this little gangster, and threatened in his ear: "Hurry up, I don't want to kill people in front of my father!" The leader nodded in fright, and quickly ran away with his men.

After Liu Chen said hello to his father, he rushed to the Changbei Bar.

Changbei Bar is one of the earliest bars on Zhongxing Street, once glorious, but now their market has been almost divided between Starlight Bar and the Jungle Tribe. The people who hang out in this bar are probably not very famous.

Liu Chen came to the box where Hu Laosan was, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears hugging a bewitching woman making love.

"Are you Hu Laosan?" asked Liu Chen.

Before Hu Laosan could react, Liu Chen had already come to his eyes, like a trick, and he didn't know how to have such a fast speed.

Hu Laosan pushed the woman away from him, "Who are you?

Hu Laosan is also an old gangster, knowing that the comer is not good, so he got up to speak, and he did not have the arrogance of the past.

"What do you mean by collecting protection money?" Liu Chen asked coldly.

Hu Laosan immediately understood the purpose of coming, it turned out that the family members of those traders came to the door to pull it, so that he had the bottom of his heart and showed the arrogance of the past.

"Is it wrong for me to collect protection money for my territory?"

Liu Chen saw that he was not afraid of himself, and he didn't care, he had seen too many people who were not long-sighted, and he warned: "I don't care whose territory it is, I will completely dispel this idea in the future, we don't need your protection, if you want to talk about protection money, I still have to collect protection money from you." ”

"What the fuck are you?" Hu Laosan said angrily, someone dared to intimidate himself like this, he couldn't swallow this breath.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Liu Chen. Liu Chen said with a relaxed face, as soon as Hu Laosan heard Liu Chen's words, he immediately trembled with fright, and the pile of fat meat on his stomach trembled.

The most popular person in the rivers and lakes today is Liu Chen, his deeds have spread throughout the underworld, of course Hu Laosan has also heard of it, he is just a gangster in this area, compared to this Liu Chen, isn't it an egg smashing a stone. So he immediately changed his smiling face: "It turned out to be Boss Liu, I misunderstood and misunderstood, I will never collect the protection fee in the future, and I will return it all, what do you think?"

Liu Chen said with a smile: "Of course it's good, it depends on your performance." With that, he got up and left.

Hu Laosan watched the big Buddha leave, closed his eyes and exhaled loudly, Liu Chen is ruthless, if he takes care of this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable, fortunately he has not angered him, a vendor on the Bay Road turned out to be his father, and the protection fee on this road will be put away first, in case it provokes the great god, it will be over.

Thinking about it, a voice suddenly woke him up: "By the way, I remember that the boss of Changhe Energy is a fat cow, right?"

Hu Laosan opened his eyes and saw that it was Liu Chen, why did he come back again?

"What about you!" Liu Chentie said angrily with a blue face.

"Oh, oh, yes, the boss of Changhe Energy is indeed a fat cow. Hu Laosan nodded in fright.

"Does he know about your protection money?"

"I don't know. ”

"Hmm???" Liu Chen stared at Hu Laosan with sharp eyes, and he was not satisfied with Hu Laosan's answer.

"Know, know, that's what he means. Hu Laosan's head nodded like a rattle.

Liu Chen nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and left.

Changhe Energy is a coal-based energy-based enterprise, and the boss is called Jiang Shengzhong, because people are very fat, and they are called fat cows. Everyone knows that he is a Taoist fool, and he is one of only five Taoist brothers who are still using the outdated method of collecting protection money. As soon as Liu Chen saw Hu Laosan's cowardice, he knew that it was material for people to do things, and the real black hand was actually this fat cow. Liu Chen had long seen that this person was not pleasing to the eye, but he didn't expect to be able to meet him this time, so he wouldn't be willing to knock him a few times.

When he returned to his father, he saw that there were no other vendors around his father, only he was alone, and stepped forward and said: "Dad, no one will come to collect protection money in the future, you can tell those business friends and let them all come out to set up stalls, and you can rest assured in the future." ”

Dad was surprised, "Really?"

"Of course!" Seeing his father's surprised look, Liu Chen said solemnly.
