Chapter 178: The Capable Nephew

The reason why Zhao Guozhong had so much face this time was because Old Sixth and Old Seventh had helped him publicize what happened at the Jinsheng Nianhua Nightclub that night.

Jinsheng Nianhua was one of the top old-brand entertainment venues in their county. Especially for people in their forties and fifties, Jinsheng Nianhua represented the most high-end place in their generation’s youthful memories.

The most common boast among their group of brothers back then was: “When I get rich, I’ll treat my brothers to a one-stop service at Jinsheng Nianhua.”

This showed the “lofty status” of Jinsheng Nianhua in the minds of their generation.

And correspondingly, the boss of Jinsheng Nianhua and his background were even more lofty and unfathomable to their generation.

As a result, such a nightclub with great feelings and background in their hearts was suddenly sealed, and everyone from the boss to the security guards was arrested.

As for the reason, in the eyes of Old Sixth and Old Seventh, it was because Jinsheng Nianhua was bullying and overcharging customers, and deliberately made things difficult for Zhao Guozhong that night.

Then Zhao Guozhong contacted his nephew, Chen Feng, a super awesome and very powerful junior. Then, for the sake of his uncle, Chen Feng mobilized his connections and attracted a large group of official forces, which immediately brought down the Jinsheng Nianhua Nightclub.

In fact, Zhao Guozhong didn’t say this to them at the beginning. It was Old Sixth and Old Seventh who automatically made it up. After Zhao Guozhong found out, he guided them along the way. It was confirmed that it was his nephew who was angry for his uncle that night, directly found a powerful connection, and directly sealed the Jinsheng Nianhua Nightclub.

So, the dozen or so sworn brothers who had originally gone their separate ways and had not been in contact for many years, except for a few who had passed away or were in other places, all gathered around him.

And because Zhao Guozhong told them that his nephew, Chen Feng, was filial to him and opened a very formal and high-end chain car wash shop for him, these sworn brothers of course paid more attention to Zhao Guozhong.

After all, such a shop was basically a sure-fire business. Zhao Guozhong’s comeback was just around the corner.

What’s more, since his nephew was so awesome now, how could he treat his only uncle, Zhao Guozhong, badly?
So, these few days could be said to be Zhao Guozhong’s highlight moment. Since he returned to Yuelou Town, someone had been inviting him to dinner and drinks every day, and even to a bath and massage. He had even enjoyed the services of a female technician twice.

He was the ninth among this group of sworn brothers. Although he was not a small transparent in the past, he actually didn’t have much say.

It was just that he was glib-tongued and liked to pretend to be rich, often treating people to drinks and so on. On the surface, he had a good relationship with these dozen or so sworn brothers.

But after getting along for more than thirty years, plus the lesson of the plastic brotherhood at the nightclub last time, Zhao Guozhong had of course seen through it all and was no longer naive.

But he didn’t deliberately alienate a large group of sworn brothers. After all, this was also a network he had managed for decades.

What’s more, he now had a super awesome nephew as a backer. Everyone looked up to him a few points. There was really no need to deliberately alienate these people.

He very much enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and flattered by this large group of old brothers now.

This time, he successfully used his old brother, Three Fingers, to subdue the enemy without a fight, making Shorty Eight completely submit.

This was the real power of a local snake. Zhao Guozhong felt really majestic and cool.

If he had been so majestic when he was young, his wife would not have run away.

And as the one who was completely suppressed, Shorty Eight was of course very aggrieved and helpless. He had opened two tables of wine this time, and the final bill was more than 8,000 yuan. In addition, each person was given a carton of Huazi, which was another seven or eight thousand. Nearly 20,000 yuan was gone.

It was secondary that he felt a little heartache for this money. The most important thing was that he was suppressed throughout the process, and he had to smile at Zhao Guozhong, who had come to snatch his food.

But when you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. A group of more than a dozen sworn brothers united, and their power in this one-mu-three-fen land of Yuelou Town was quite huge. It was not something he could contend with alone.

What he was most puzzled about was why so many sworn brothers would support Zhao Guozhong, an old scoundrel.

He still remembered very clearly that when he was with Three Fingers, Three Fingers was quite disdainful of Zhao Guozhong and didn’t like him very much.

As a result, this time, for the sake of the car wash shop, he took the initiative to stand up for him.

Therefore, after the banquet, he deliberately stayed behind with his former boss, Three Fingers, hoping to get an answer from him.

Although Shorty Eight had also become rich these years, he was still quite respectful to his former boss, Three Fingers. He would give him gifts during the New Year and festivals, and they would also have social interactions for weddings and funerals.

Probably because he had been protected by Three Fingers’ name all these years, he had successfully dealt with some local small gangsters and other unsavory matters. The business of the car wash shop had been relatively smooth. And the reason why he was able to successfully open the car wash shop back then was also with the secret help of Three Fingers.

“Boss, what’s going on today? When did Zhao Guozhong have so much face that he needed you to personally come out and give him face?”

Three Fingers didn’t notify him in advance this time and gave him a surprise attack. Shorty Eight was still a little emotional in his heart.

Of course, the two of them had been old friends for decades, so they didn’t hide anything when they spoke.

Three Fingers knew that he was a bit unkind to help Zhao Guozhong deal with his former subordinate this time. He smiled awkwardly and said, “I was forced to do this this time. Zhao Guozhong brought more than a dozen of his sworn brothers to find me. Do you think I could refuse? He alone doesn’t have that much face, but I can’t not give face to more than a dozen sworn brothers. I didn’t notify you in advance because this guy Zhao Guozhong is very cunning and has been by my side all the time. I can’t call you in front of him, can I?”

Shorty Eight frowned and continued to ask, “Why are these sworn brothers of yours suddenly so supportive of him?”

Three Fingers sighed and said, “He has a good nephew. You also know that this franchise chain car wash shop was opened for him by his nephew. He didn’t spend a penny himself, and he didn’t have the money. It was opened by his nephew to show his filial piety. After it’s opened, he doesn’t have to manage it specifically. He just has to take the dividends every year. Tell me, isn’t this more filial than a real son? My own son is already married and has two children, and he still often asks me for money.”

“Is his nephew very capable?” Shorty Eight was not a fool and immediately grasped the key point.

“Yes. His nephew is a college graduate from a famous university. He used to work in Xiuzhou and was not very prominent. But at the end of last year, he suddenly became rich. First, he helped his brother open this chain car wash shop in Qingpu Town, and at the same time, he directly squeezed out the other two car wash shops. And it’s strange that the other two car wash shops just obediently moved to other places. Now there is only one car wash shop opened by his brother in Qingpu Town. It’s a monopoly. Don’t you think it’s awesome?”

Hearing this, Shorty Eight couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. He quickly asked, “Is his nephew so awesome? What means did he use to make those two families move away obediently?”

“Hehe, if you ask someone else, they might not be able to answer your question for a while. But this time, I happened to chat with Zhao Guozhong, and he told me. The reason is very simple, that is, his nephew has a very deep official relationship. Those two shops were sealed for environmental pollution problems, and their business licenses were directly revoked. The people can’t fight with the officials. Of course, those two families can only admit defeat. Speaking of which, your car wash shop also has sewage discharge problems. If he wants to mess with you, it’s really easy.”
Of course, Shorty Eight also knew about the sewage discharge problem. After all, he had been running a car wash shop for so many years. But Yuelou Town was just a town after all, and car wash shops generally had the problem of directly discharging sewage into the sewer. Most car wash shops across the country were like this, not just his.

In addition, he didn’t know how to apply for a sewage discharge permit at all.

What’s more, as Three Fingers said, his nephew had official connections. Even if he applied for the relevant procedures according to the normal process, he might be stuck.

Thinking of this, Shorty Eight couldn’t help but panic. He quickly said, “Boss, I was very polite to Zhao Guozhong this time. I invited him to drink and gave him good cigarettes. He wouldn’t do this, would he?”

Three Fingers shook his head and said, “In the past, Zhao Guozhong certainly didn’t have this ability and means, but doesn’t he have a nephew behind him? I don’t know his nephew at all. If his nephew wants to deal with you, I have no way.”

“Boss, I’m under your protection. You must help me with this matter,” Shorty Eight immediately begged for help.

After pondering for a long while, Three Fingers finally shook his head helplessly and said, “It’s not that I won’t help you. It’s that his nephew has great power and an unfathomable background. Have you heard about the Jinsheng Nianhua Nightclub?”

After being stunned for a moment, Shorty Eight finally reacted and asked in surprise, “Of course I know. Wasn’t it sealed?”

Three Fingers shook his head and said, “It seems you don’t know. Do you know why it was sealed?”

“Didn’t they say it was a social organization, and also drug trafficking and prostitution?” Shorty Eight was a little puzzled, and then asked with a flash of inspiration, “Could it be that this has something to do with his nephew?”

Three Fingers nodded and said, “It does have something to do with his nephew. It can even be said that it was because of his nephew that Jinsheng Nianhua was sealed.”

“This is impossible, right?” Shorty Eight had a look of disbelief.

So Three Fingers told him what happened that night with Zhao Guozhong, Old Sixth, and Old Seventh. Finally, he emphasized, “I didn’t believe it at first either. But a few days ago, I went to the county town to ask a friend in the bureau. The cause of this matter was provoked by one person. My friend didn’t say who this person was, but it’s certain that this person is very powerful. It was because of this person that Jinsheng Nianhua ended up like this. And the news I found out happened to be that this person and his nephew are very good friends. It was this person who asked my friend to drive Zhao Guozhong and his nephew to the bureau.”

Hearing what Three Fingers said, Shorty Eight couldn’t help but take a cold breath and was stunned and speechless.

“So, regardless of whether Jinsheng Nianhua was sealed because of Zhao Guozhong and his nephew, it’s certain that Zhao Guozhong’s nephew is very powerful. He’s not someone to be trifled with.”

“Boss, what should I do then? I can’t just close the car wash shop, can I?” Shorty Eight asked with a sad face.

Three Fingers shook his head and said, “I can’t make this decision for you either. I can only remind you that the current Zhao Guozhong is not someone you can afford to provoke. Now that my sworn brothers are so flattering him, you’ve seen it. Without his nephew personally dealing with you, Zhao Guozhong and his sworn brothers can play you to death. They only didn’t directly deal with you because I was your boss back then. Otherwise, do you think these people are good men and women? A few of them were even more ruthless than me back then. You should know that.”

Shorty Eight’s face was a little pale, and he nodded with a bitter smile.

Zhao Guozhong and his sworn brothers, according to the northern saying, were all old gangsters. Several of them had been gilded in prison. If they really wanted to be ruthless, these old gangsters were really no match for those young people.

Of course, the biggest threat was still the nephew of Zhao Guozhong, whom he had not yet met. This nephew could take down Jinsheng Nianhua. Could he not take down a car wash shop?

It seemed that the only solution now was to flatter Zhao Guozhong and get along with him peacefully, so that his car wash shop could continue to operate.

Another step further would be to use Zhao Guozhong’s connections to crush the other car wash shop opened by outsiders. That shop was Shorty Eight’s nemesis. Although the two sides had shaken hands and made peace back then, Shorty Eight still had a thorn in his heart.

Shorty Eight’s mind was in a turmoil, thinking about how to please Zhao Guozhong.

And at this time, Zhao Guozhong was also calling his nephew, Chen Feng, to take credit. He said that he had successfully dealt with his competitor, Shorty Eight, and made him dare not make any more moves.

Of course, Chen Feng was not very concerned about this. But he still affirmed him with a few words, which made Zhao Guozhong as excited as a kindergarten child praised by a teacher. He immediately said that he would get rid of the other car wash shop as soon as possible.

Chen Feng didn’t object. He just reminded him that it was best for everyone to get along peacefully and compete fairly. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they should not use violence and reporting methods.

Zhao Guozhong agreed verbally, but Chen Feng didn’t know what he would do specifically.

In fact, Chen Feng was not a good man or woman either. If he could really get rid of the other two competitors once and for all and monopolize the market like in Qingpu Town, there was nothing wrong with it.

He was just afraid that his little uncle would not be able to handle things and would cause trouble.

After hanging up his little uncle’s call, Chen Feng called Fang Xiaoyue. He said that he had arrived at the place they had agreed on, the big roundabout in the county center.

Yesterday, Fang Xiaoyue had contacted him and said that she hoped to go with him to pay a New Year’s visit to Teacher Zheng, who was also Director Feng’s mother.

Chen Feng originally wanted to pay a New Year’s visit two days later, but since Fang Xiaoyue had said so, and some procedures for the newly opened car beauty shop needed Fang Xiaoyue’s help, Chen Feng agreed.

He had agreed to go with her this afternoon.

The two of them met at the big roundabout in the county center, driving their own cars. Then they drove one after the other to the unit building where Teacher Zheng lived.

Chen Feng’s New Year’s gift was quite thoughtful. A health pot worth several hundred yuan, as well as a blood pressure and blood sugar meter. They were all bought online a few days ago, and the total cost was over a thousand yuan.

In terms of value, Chen Feng’s gift was not very expensive, but it could not be said to be light either. After all, these gifts were basically useful for the elderly.

Compared to Chen Feng, Fang Xiaoyue’s gift was much more expensive. A large box of deer antler and ginseng, and another large box of bird’s nest. The value was at least several thousand yuan.
I overestimated my train of thought. I only wrote this much in more than three hours.
