Ye Cheng's expression changed, and he said somewhat displeased, "Nonsense! I think you've been overthinking things lately; it's due to too much mental pressure. What could happen to Yingzi? She's skilled and smart; if anything were to happen, it wouldn't be her." Ye Cheng's words gradually eased everyone's mood.
Fei Hu thought about it too; perhaps he had been overthinking. Ni Ling's perspective might have some truth to it. Once he realized this, everything seemed fine, and they began to drink.
"Hey Xiaofei, I heard you mention last time that Sheng Wei received government support and secured a loan of ten million. Has that funding come through? How do you plan to use this huge sum?" Fei Hu asked Ye Xiaofei with a smile.
Ye Xiaofei replied lightly, "The money has already been approved. We plan to partner with an American tow company to open an electronics factory. This amount might not even be enough. Why do you bring this up? Are you short on cash?"
"Haha! Even if I'm short on cash, I wouldn't need ten million! I wanted to ask since you're opening such a large factory; you'll definitely need workers. Should I help you find some?" Fei Hu said, smiling at Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Cheng took a sip of his drink and chuckled, "Fei Hu seems to have some new ideas. Don't hesitate to share; we're all family here. The Dragon Tiger Gang and Sheng Wei coexist."
With Ye Cheng speaking up, Fei Hu felt more confident. He put down his glass and thought for a moment before saying, "Here's what I'm thinking: the current Dragon Tiger Gang is overstaffed, which isn't good for management and could negatively impact society. Since Sheng Wei is building a factory, why not start hiring from among these people? That way, it's a win-win."
"No way, I oppose that. Our new factory needs skilled workers; your people can only fight—what else can they do?" Ye Xiaofei said, visibly agitated.
Ye Cheng's expression turned serious as he said, "If they don't know how to do something, they can learn, right? No one is born knowing how to work. Besides, not everyone in the Dragon Tiger Gang is useless. For example, our Fei Hu could go to Sheng Wei and be a department manager or something; his abilities are more than sufficient." Hearing this made Fei Hu feel delighted inside; he understood that Ye Cheng was speaking up for him.
Ye Xiaofei didn't back down either; she immediately responded, "That's fine! If Fei Hu wants to work at Sheng Wei, I'll definitely make him a manager. But the others are out of the question; that's a matter of principle. We're opening a factory, not running a charity. We need efficiency and quality. In short, we want to make money; if we can't earn money, then there's no point in opening this factory." Ye Xiaofei's words were quite reasonable.
With such an opportunity at hand, Fei Hu couldn't let it slip away. As the big brother of the Dragon Tiger Gang, he knew that if anything happened to these people, he would be implicated. Therefore, he had to provide them with a place to survive so they wouldn't cause trouble in society.
Fei Hu raised the bottle and poured some wine for Ye Xiaofei, saying, "Chairman Ye, it's not just you who has opinions about gang members; everyone in society has their views. When it comes to gangs, the first thing they say is that they are idle and unproductive, which is a mild statement. The serious accusations involve extortion and fighting. While they may say that, we cannot follow suit; we need to find ways to help them live like normal people."
"Hmph! You have ideas; I didn't expect you to be a savior. Think about it! If you can come up with a good plan and convince me, I'll take your people; otherwise, you'll just be drinking your wine!" Ye Xiaofei said dismissively.
Sister Wu glanced at Ye Cheng, and the two elderly people exchanged knowing smiles. The relationship between Ye Xiaofei and Fei Hu had become very close; however, when it came to serious matters, they were both confrontational and unwilling to back down. This was actually a good thing, as it showed they were both invested in their issues and not just going through the motions. Ye Cheng felt increasingly pleased as he listened.
"I'll start by selecting a group of recent recruits from the Dragon Tiger Gang and persuade them to leave the gang. Then I'll assign specialists for training. Those who pass the exams will be sent to your Sheng Wei. The first batch will consist of twenty people; if the results are satisfactory, we'll increase the second batch to fifty and the third to one hundred. In any case, I plan to send you at least five hundred people," Fei Hu said, staring intently at Ye Xiaofei, fearing she might refuse.
Ye Xiaofei didn't rush to respond but thought for a while before saying, "Alright! I have no objections. However, you must personally oversee the training of these individuals to ensure they meet the standards; if they do, I truly have no complaints." Ye Xiaofei's attitude took a complete turn, which made Fei Hu very happy. Seeing them getting along well also brought joy to Ye Hu.
Fei Hu's initial mass layoffs at the Dragon Tiger Gang caused quite a stir. At first, Brother Dong and Teapot Lid were very confused about this decision. They risked violating gang rules by confronting Fei Hu in a heated debate. Ultimately, it was Fei Hu's earnest persuasion combined with some insights into the current situation that led them to fully submit.
The first batch of selected personnel was chosen one by one by Fei Hu himself. He personally oversaw the entire training process. In the end, his efforts paid off as all twenty individuals passed Ye Xiaofei's examination and successfully started working at Sheng Wei.
Once this news spread, some members within the gang began to waver; they voluntarily withdrew from the gang and signed up for jobs. In fact, everyone had grown tired of a life filled with violence. As a result, the once-mighty Dragon Tiger Gang, known as the largest gang in City A, shrank to only two or three hundred members within three months and became nearly invisible in City A.
As time passed, the bond between Ye Xiaofei and Fei Hu deepened to the point where marriage was being discussed. This news brought great joy, especially to Ye Cheng; whenever he mentioned it to others, he couldn't help but smile widely.
Summer had quietly passed by, and autumn arrived softly. A full moon hung in the sky surrounded by twinkling stars—a beautiful night that was rare in the increasingly deteriorating environment of City A.
Fei Hu draped himself in an autumn shirt as he leaned on Ye Cheng's balcony gazing at the sky with swirling thoughts in his mind. Just yesterday, Ye Cheng had brought up his marriage with Ye Xiaofei. He had always hoped for such a day since returning to City A; however, now that it was becoming a reality, Fei Hu felt somewhat hesitant.
He understood what marriage meant very clearly. He remembered when he first returned to City A; Ye Xiaofei had patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fei Hu! I know you're quite a charming person. While I'm not around, I want to remind you that until we are officially married, I hope you can handle your relationships well. Once we're married, I won't tolerate any other women in your life."
This statement is reasonable, and Fei Hu had no reason to refuse. The next day, he went to find Sun Li, who was still as beautiful as ever. They had dinner together, and Fei Hu expressed his desire to get married. To his great disappointment, Sun Li showed no emotion on her face; she simply smiled and said, "Marriage is a good thing. If it's convenient for you to find me, then come; if not, don't bother. Anyway, I won't be the one to call you. I will never get married in this lifetime."
Feeling a bit hurt inside, Fei Hu lacked the courage to seek out Xia Yan. He feared that Xia Yan might hurt him in the same way, and he felt it would be too much to bear if no one cared for him. Despite these thoughts, Fei Hu still decided to go.
It was around two in the afternoon when Fei Hu drove directly to Xia Yan's beauty salon, but the staff informed him that Xia Yan had stayed up late the night before and would not be coming to work that day. After hesitating for a moment, he went straight to Xia Yan's home.
At around two or three o'clock, there weren't many people in the neighborhood; those who worked had already left for their jobs, while others were likely taking a nap at home—Xia Yan belonged to the latter category. When Fei Hu arrived at her door, he called Xia Yan's mobile phone to give her a heads-up. After a long wait, the call finally connected, and Xia Yan sounded like she hadn't fully woken up as she scolded him over the phone: "You heartless person! You actually remembered to call me? Every time I try calling you, I can't get through. What's going on? Is it intentional?"
Fei Hu chuckled and replied, "Well, I'm here now. I'm right at your door." After saying this, he hung up.
He heard some commotion inside the house followed by the sound of slippers shuffling. Suddenly, the door swung open forcefully, and before Fei Hu could react, Xia Yan pulled him inside.
When he looked up, he was stunned; Xia Yan was only wearing a pink lingerie set. The top barely covered her ample curves and seemed more decorative than functional. Below, a small piece of fabric covered her most private area. Upon seeing this, Fei Hu felt flustered; his mind went blank as heat rushed through him like he was carrying a blazing sun.
"Stop looking so foolish; it's not like you haven't seen this before," Xia Yan playfully rolled her eyes at him and dragged him straight into her bedroom.
When a woman takes the initiative, a man finds it hard to resist. Fei Hu had initially planned just to chat with Xia Yan and catch up while telling her about his marriage plans. However, things took an unexpected turn: first with Xia Yan not going to work during the day and sleeping at home; then there was her revealing outfit and her unabated passion for him.
By the time Fei Hu realized what was happening, they were already entangled together in a whirlwind of passion. Everything unfolded rapidly. When Xia Yan finally sat up, panting heavily, she looked slightly displeased and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You seem so distracted."
"I'm getting married," Fei Hu said softly, but Xia Yan heard him clearly.
