"Come on, let me introduce you to some friends." Cao Ji pointed at the three men behind him.

"This half-inch skinny guy is called Mountain Cat, the one with a face as black as a coal ball is called Black Skin, and this short and fat guy is called Winter Melon. They are all brothers in the company."

The three men were obviously gangsters, and they came over to greet Zheng Yubai with a smile. The black-skinned man was very sturdy, and he held Zheng Yubai's hand, secretly exerting force while saying, "I heard from Caoji that you have kung fu?"

Zheng Yubai smiled slightly and applied some force. Heipi's face changed and he cried out, "Alright, alright. I know you're strong."

The most admired people in the underworld are those who are capable and righteous. Heipi is one of the best fighters in Jinghai. Since he has been convinced by Zheng Yubai, Zheng Yubai has immediately established his position in the eyes of these people. After tonight, his fame will spread, and he will soon have a nickname and become the object of worship for countless young people.

Unfortunately, these were not what Zheng Yubai wanted. He just wanted to do a job. But looking at the current situation, it was easier for him to get on board than to get off.

"You usually work the night shift, and it's been a while since you've enjoyed the nightlife, right? Tonight, just follow me, and I promise you'll have a good time. Let's go eat first."

Without giving Zheng Yubai a chance to explain, Cao Ji dragged him along and headed straight for a nearby restaurant.

The waiters in the hotel obviously knew Cao Ji and his friends. They bowed respectfully when they saw him from a distance, and respectfully called him "Brother Ji". When they arrived at the private room, the manager and the foreman came over to kowtow. When they heard that Zheng Yubai was Cao Ji's colleague, they immediately called him "Brother Bai", which made Zheng Yubai feel very uncomfortable.

It was called a dinner, but in fact it was just a drinking party. Fortunately, Zheng Yubai had long since worn off from the alcohol in the afternoon, so he was still able to keep them company. The five of them drank one glass after another, and soon finished eight bottles of Moutai.

Caoji was a little tipsy, and raised his cup proudly: "Yubai, you will follow me from now on. I promise that you will get whatever you want in Jinghai City!"

Dongguashai laughed and said, "Caoji, stop bragging. If Yubai hadn't helped you today, you would have been thrown into the river by the boss to feed the turtles."

Caoji blushed: "Damn it, can't all these wine and food keep you from talking?" He turned to Zheng Yubai and laughed: "Yubai, today is really thanks to you. I have told the boss about everything, and the company will definitely reward you according to your merits."

Zheng Yubai hurriedly said: "This is what I should do."

"What a good brother. You are my real brother from now on." Cao Ji hugged Zheng Yubai enthusiastically.

The children of Jianghu are generous and cheerful. Zheng Yubai is usually introverted, doesn't talk much, and doesn't show off his personality because of the restrictions of the sect rules. Now he is hanging out with Caoji and the others, and gradually he becomes cheerful. I still remember that when I went to apply for a job, I blushed when Lan Feifei teased me. Now when I hear Caoji telling dirty jokes to the beautiful waitress, I can actually laugh along. Jianghu is indeed a place that promotes people's growth.

"Brother, this entire street is controlled by our company, and the protection fee is this much every month." Cao Ji was drunk and held up five fingers.

Zheng Yubai didn't know whether it was 50,000, 500,000 or 5 million, and he wasn't interested. Although Jianghu was nice, it wasn't a place to stay for long, and for him, the most real thing was the salary.

"Yubai, you are so capable. If you don't want to be an administrator in the future, just follow me. I guarantee it will be more comfortable than following a chicken." said the mountain cat.

"You want to steal my girl?" Cao Ji glared at him. "Brother, don't listen to him. Look how skinny he is. If I follow him, I will become a stupid cat."

Everyone laughed and drank a bottle of wine. Zheng Yubai saw that everyone was already a little drunk, so he asked Caoji, "Brother Caoji, where are you going later?"

"What's wrong? Are you anxious? Hehehe, I'll take you to a good place to broaden your horizons later." Cao Ji grinned lewdly.

Zheng Yubai's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the beauties in the album. Maybe it was because he drank too much or something, but the blood in his body started to heat up.

After eating and drinking, everyone embraced Zheng Yubai and walked out of the restaurant, strolling along the street. It was already past eleven o'clock, but because it was the weekend, the whole street was still very lively. Everywhere you looked, there was a scene of extravagance and luxury, and the air was filled with ambiguous smells. Between the lights and the wine, people thought that Jinghai had become a city that never sleeps.

"Brother, I'll take you to the Valley of Ecstasy. If you don't go to the Valley of Ecstasy, it's useless to call yourself a hero." Cao Ji hooked his arm around Zheng Yubai's shoulders. Perhaps he had drunk too much, so he walked unsteadily.

Just hearing the name of the Valley of Ecstasy, one can tell what kind of place it is. Zheng Yubai wanted to refuse, but Caoji was too enthusiastic and obviously would not let him go. Should he tell him that he was still a virgin? Zheng Yubai was in a dilemma and was finally brought to an inconspicuous small building.

Compared with other "entertainment venues" on Lan Kwai Street with big red lanterns hanging high and people dressed up in fancy clothes standing in front of the door with clothes not exceeding three pieces of cloth, this one looks very strange.

The small building is located at the end of Lan Kwai Street, which is sparsely populated. Moreover, it is an old-fashioned house, which looks a bit old. There is a crooked sign hanging next to a dark red door, which reads "Good Place Bar".

From the outside, this place looks completely rustic and does not fit in with the overall atmosphere of Lan Kwai Street. No wonder passers-by don't even bother to take a look and go straight to the brightly lit place.

Cao Ji pointed at the door of the small building and smiled mysteriously at Zheng Yubai: "Brother, do you know where this is?"

Zheng Yubai looked at the sign and read, "Good Place Bar."

Cao Ji chuckled and said, "You'll know once you go in."

It was only eleven o'clock, and other stores were full, but this one had already closed early. I don't know if it was because of poor business. Heipi walked over, bent down, and pressed the button at the bottom of the door. Zheng Yubai then discovered that there was a hidden doorbell there.

Soon, footsteps were heard from inside. Then, with a rustle, a small window on the door opened, and an impatient voice asked, "Who is it?"

"Damn, I don't even recognize myself." Heipi leaned his head towards the window.

"Oh, it's Brother Heipi. Sister Hua has given all the instructions, please wait a moment." The person inside immediately changed his tone.

The door opened quickly, and inside was a small doorway. A middle-aged man smiled and said, "Brother Chicken, Brother Pi, Brother Cat, Brother Melon..." Seeing Zheng Yubai, he obviously didn't know who this person was. (To be continued)
