《My Nightclub Landlady》Chapter 4 Recollecting the Past
Advertisement
It was two o'clock in the morning, Qin Feng had just gotten off work when he received a call from Sister Flower, "I’m at the southern entrance of the bar, waiting for you."
Qin Feng quickly changed into a suit and bow tie and ran out of the shop. When he stepped out, he saw Sister Flower’s powerful, red sports car. He opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat while Sister Flower stepped on the throttle. The vehicle roared out and they quickly sped off into the streets.
At this time of night, Fengyang street was tranquil and only a few cars were driving around. Qin Feng skimmed his eyes over the white thigh exposed past Flowers’ skirt, he said to her, "Sister, you seem to stay in great shape. You must be fairly consistent with your exercise regime, right?"
"Well, in our business, a woman’s figure is the most important thing. A woman in the business can be ugly, but they must be in good shape to get the most out of their customers when they’re getting it on."
Sister Flower said, "I’m not afraid of being teased for it, even though I have quit that side of the business for many years, I still maintain the habits of the past. I rarely eat rice or steamed buns, I feel like I stay fearful of anything with fat."
"Oh, I see, that must be difficult for you."
Qin Feng's eyes darkened a bit, he did not want Sister Hua to live in such a way again just to make a living. She worked so hard. If Xiao He knew, he would certainly suffer.
Sister Flower noticed Qin Feng looking dreary and changed the subject, "I didn't think you had such amazing skills! In the future, if someone bullies me, you can serve me as my personal bodyguard."
Qin Feng’s eyes lit up, "Hah, OK. As long as Sister Flower needs me, I’m willing to fight at a moment’s notice!"
He said excitedly.
"It's just... it's bad that this situation involved Ji."
Naturally, Sister Flower had her concerns.
Regardless of who the other party was, fighting was something that couldn’t be tolerated in any business. A lot of guests had come out of their rooms to see what all the fuss was about. After seeing that scene in the hall, surely some guests would have some issues with the establishment.
Not to mention that Ji Dongchen was the only son of the Chairman of the Jiangshan Group, Ji Jiangshan. He was a rich and famous man in Fengyang District and all of Tianhe City, for that matter. Early in his career, he began selling state-owned goods in the black market. In the early 90s, he flew to Europe for an expedition when suddenly it seemed the plane would be forced to land on the Alps. A move that would put the plane in danger of crashing.

The captain had lost all hope of survival and told the approximately 300 passengers on the plane to write their wills immediately. From the city of Tianhe, only 6 passengers had been aboard the plane. Except for Ji Jiangshan, the other five were city and district leaders. The six of them were huddled together, crying over their wills. Not a single one of them had any hope of surviving the incident and were forced to accept their fate. The airflow causing the turbulence quickly disappeared and the plane returned to normal, allowing them to arrive in Berlin safely.
After getting off the plane, the six passengers from Tianhe had survived. They knelt down together and kowtowed as they vowed to become brothers. At that time, Jijiangshan had some money, but only enough to perhaps own and operate a small workshop. With these other men as brothers, he returned to his hometown and his career began to boom as his new connections brought along new business opportunities. His net worth began to rise exponentially.
As time passed, one of the five brothers who held office had been charged with corruption, while the other four were still active on the political stage. They were members of the standing Committee of the Tianhe Municipality, Deputy Mayor Zhou Tong, Tianhe City Public Security Director Jia Quan, Fengyang District Executive Deputy Liu Jin, and Tianhe City High-Tech Development and Zone Management Committee Director Yue Peng. Needless to say, this man and his associates had a lot of power.
"Sister Flower, I don't care where he comes from or who he is, if I could go back I’d do it all over again. If he dares come back for me, I’ll make sure he regrets it. What’s more, if you don't tell me to stop fighting, I don’t know if anything will be able to stop me from continuing his beating."
Qin Feng said confidently but in a casual manner.
Sister Flower looked at Qin Feng getting fired up and was instantly reminded of her brother. She couldn’t help but laugh, "You and my brother Xiao He are so alike. This temperament you both have is both a good thing and a bad thing."
Upon mentioning her brother, she took out her cell phone to dial Xiao He, after a moment she said, "His phone’s off again. I haven’t been able to get in touch with that boy for several months. I don’t know what he could be busy doing."
Qin Feng heard Sister Hua’s saying these things and his eyes couldn’t help but swell a bit.

Xiao He and him were the closest brothers on the team, Qin Feng didn’t dare tell Sister Flower about his death. She was certainly not ready to accept it. Although she would find out sooner or later, he hoped he could postpone it just a bit longer.
Qin Feng simply wanted a clean conscience by completing Xiao He's last wish, to protect Sister flower so she could be happy every day of her life. Only then, would he be worthy of Xiao He’s spirit in heaven.
Seeing Qin Feng distracted and pensive, Sister Flower asked, "What are you thinking about? Don’t tell me you’re intimidated by what I’ve told you. There’s no reason to be afraid, I’ve got your back. No matter how fierce Ji Dongchen and his father Ji Jiangshan are, he must also save face with Brother Jun. In the situation that occurred today, he was first to break the rules and we acted reasonably. There’s no need to be afraid."
"Sister Flower, do you ever think about quitting?"
Qin Feng asked seriously.
"Quitting?"
Sister Flower lit a cigarette at the red light and laughed, "It's hard to get out of the business once you’ve started. What else could I do out here? What other job could pay me as much money as I’m making now? I’m lucky to have achieved anything at all. To be honest, managing the bar is fairly relaxing on most days. The small things are dealt with by Kun, the big relationships are handled by Brother Jun, and I just need to maintain a good atmosphere around the guests to ensure my monthly income."
Hearing Sister Flower say these things put Qin Feng's heart a little more at ease, "That's good, that's good."
"Ha-ha, young man, what do you know?"
Sister Flower smiled. "What do you do during the day since you only work part-time at night? I'm sure you don't have much energy left after working so late."
"Me? I work moving floor tiles. No time to be tired, there is only time for strength."
While saying this Qin Feng roll up his sweatshirt cuffs, exposing a solid, raised bicep.
"Is that so? You're a good man, I can tell. Are you having any difficulties at home? If you need money, you can tell me."
Said Sister Flower.
"No, no."
Qin Feng anxiously waved his hand, "Though I’m not doing much these days. If there is any work that needs to be done, don’t hesitate to call me. T be honest, if you don’t call I’ll likely be sleeping."
They soon approached the Erlang hairy crab and lobster barbecue stall.
Although it was midnight, it was still bright on this part of town. The neon signs here were ten meters long and were eye-catching and magnificent.
The open space in front of the stall was set up with dozens of tables. The tables were about 70% occupied. “Park the car by the roadside,” said Qin Feng, "Sister, this place appears to be quite popular."
"Well, this is Fengyang's first 24 hour barbecue shop. The boss is from the northeast and is a really straightforward guy. When locals pass by, they tend to wave and make funny faces at him. The locals who show up at this hour are usually people that come here to eat after spending a few hours at a bar or a nightclub. They then proceeded to drink two or three more bottles of wine. So let's try to find a remote table and try not to get involved with any drunk people."
Sister Flower was about to cross the road wearing high heels and an elegant handbag, when a roaring Audi A6 came to view in the distance. Qin Feng reacted quickly and shouted, "Sister Flower, be careful!"
She hadn’t noticed the Audi speeding down the road. Had Qin Feng not hugged her waist to pull her back, she would have likely been hit.
Sister Flower looked back at the roaring Audi and yelled angrily, "Damn it. Watch where you’re going, you jerk!”
"Sister Flower, please be more careful when crossing the road. Many drivers at this hour are drunk, it’s too dangerous to be careless."
Qin Feng wasn’t quite aware at the time, but his heart was enveloped in the fragrance of Sister Flower, who at that moment was wrapped in his arms. The hand that had caught her thin waist could not help but press against it. As soon as Sister Flower noticed this, she moved a little and murmured, "Let’s go..."

Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
