“Bao Sanli and I are thinking of giving the gang a name, so I wanted to ask Brother Yang for your opinion.” Hou Zhenhan said.

“I’m in a taxi now. I will call you after I get back.” Yang Ming said. Since there were outsiders present, it was inconvenient for Yang Ming to talk.

“Okay. Brother Yang.” Hou Zhenhan hung up the phone without asking further.

Back in his bedroom, Yang Ming opened the laptop. While he was waiting for the computer to start up, Yang Ming gave Hou Zhenhan a call.

“Big Hou, I’m back in the dormitory. I can talk now.” Yang Ming said.

“This is the case. Bao Sanli and I are thinking that it’s time to name our gang.” Hou Zhenhan suggested, “Now we are considered the biggest gang in Song Jiang’s underworld!”

“En, you can decide the name yourself.” Yang Ming hesitated and said, “But as soon as possible you and Bao Sanli should plan to reorganize the gang and cultivate some industries. The underworld isn’t a proper business. All you have to do is to control the underworld and prevent others from getting involved in it.”

“I understand, Brother Yang. I plan to set up a security company first and then open some entertainment places after. What do you think about this plan?” Hou Zhenhan asked.

“Not bad. Just do as you said! You can decide on these.” Yang Ming said, “If you are short on capital, just let me know.”

“This is what I wanted to tell you. I need a lot of money to set up a company. Although the gang is relatively large scale, it’s still very poor. Many underlings haven’t gotten their pay yet.” Hou Zhenhan said, “This can’t run for a long time. That’s why I decided to set up a security company so that these underlings can have something to do.”

“En, good. Just tell me how much capital you need.” Yang Ming nodded and said. He didn’t lack capital. Besides, starting a security company didn’t need much capital.

“And, Bao Sanli will hold a party next month to invite some big bosses. Brother Yang, are you coming?” Hou Zhenhan asked.

“What identity would I use? His friend?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I have talked to Bao Sanli about this. I’ll consider it!”

“En, Brother Yang, are there any other instructions?” Hou Zhenhan asked.

“Right, can you get movie tickets for Huahai Cinema – for Christmas Eve?” Yang Ming asked.

“Movie tickets. Of course, no problem. Right now, all the entertainment places in Song Jiang City don’t dare to disrespect us.” Hou Zhenhan smiled, “I will call you when I get the tickets.”

“Okay.” Yang Ming nodded and ended the call.

After logging in to QQ, as expected, Chen Mengyan was online. Yang Ming double-clicked on the profile of “There’s Indeed No True Love” and then texted to her, “I’m here.”

“Why are you so slow? I have been waiting for you for a long time!” Chen Mengyan immediately replied.

“En, his home is a bit far away. I got back by taxi.” Yang Ming said.

“Oh, yes, I talked to Zhao Sisi just now and she said that she wants to watch movies with us on Christmas Eve. She asked whether tickets are still available. Zhang Bing and she went to buy tickets just now, but it was sold out.” Chen Mengyan said.

No way? There are still a few more days. The tickets are sold out? I don’t know if Hou Zhenhan can get a movie ticket.

“I will ask Zhang Bing later. I also don’t know if I can get a ticket from my side. I asked a friend to help me.” Yang Ming said.

“Okay, I actually don’t have anything important. I just want to talk to you.” Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming revived their love. She became somewhat attached to Yang Ming.

After he chatted about some irrelevant flirtatious topics with Chen Mengyan for a while, Yang Ming had to go offline after that. I’m a Superstar went online abruptly. Yang Ming was helpless. He wanted to talk to Zhang Bing, but now he couldn’t pretend he didn’t see it because he didn’t set his status as invisible.

“Long time no see.” I’m a Superstar said to Yang Ming after she went online.

“It’s not that long, right? How come you are online so late?” Yang Ming asked.

“I have to work. I’m taking a break. I’m online to see who’s on QQ. I didn’t expect you to be online.” I’m a Superstar replied.

“En, when I was about to go offline, you appeared.” Yang Ming said.

“Christmas is coming and I feel so bored…” I’m a Superstar said abruptly.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you a celebrity? Shouldn’t there be an activity during Christmas?” Yang Ming asked.

“I don’t know. There may be a publicity campaign. Who knows?” I’m a Superstar said indifferently.

“Why? Don’t you have a boyfriend to accompany you?” Yang Ming asked.

“Of course not. Don’t you know that I don’t have a boyfriend?” I’m a Superstar said.

“You aren’t going to find one? Don’t all the celebrities like scandals?” Yang Ming asked.

“I don’t have to…” I’m a Superstar said.

Yang Ming didn’t care about it. He thought that she wasn’t famous, so no one was trying to make a scandal for her. “Do you have a photo? Send it here.”

“After you!” I’m a Superstar said.

“I’m too ugly to see. I’m afraid of scaring you!” Yang Ming said.

“Me too. So we are even.” I’m a Superstar said.

……

Yang Ming chatted with I’m a Superstar and talked about some casual topics for a while. Then she said she was going to wash her face and go to sleep. Yang Ming turned off the computer and went to the living room. Tian Donghua and Zhang Bing were still talking about the techniques to pick up girls.

“Zhang Bing, I heard that you couldn’t buy movie tickets today.” Yang Ming asked.

“Yeah. F*ck. It’s sold out. The price for one ticket is about a hundred yuan and it’s even a regular seat. Couple seats are four hundred per set! Why are people so rich now?” Zhang Bing complained.

“Why didn’t you go earlier? Oh yeah, I asked a friend to get tickets for me. If I get it, do you want to go?” Yang Ming asked.

“Count me in. Count me in. I will go too!” Before Zhang Bing had spoken, Tian Donghua already raised his hand and shouted.

“I can’t guarantee the tickets!” Yang Ming shook his head and gave himself an excuse to not get it.

“Then give them to me!” Zhang Bing said, “I wanted them first!”

“No way. Anyone who witnesses it gets a share. Or everyone gets one?” Tian Donghua said.

“One person each? I watch with your wife or you watch with my wife? Or we both watch together?” Zhang Bing asked.

“Ugh… Why not let your wife and my wife watch together?” Tian Donghua suggested.

“I despise you!” Zhang Bing said.

Yang Ming didn’t want to argue with them. He was going back to his room to sleep. He still had to visit Lin Zhiyun tomorrow. He would visit Fang Tian’s residence as well.

The next morning, Hou Zhenhan called. It seemed that he was quite efficient or was it that there were no entertainment venues in Song Jiang City that didn’t dare to not respect him?

“Brother Yang, I got the tickets. Three sets of couples, two normal seats, is it enough?” Hou Zhenhan said, “Huahai’s boss is so stingy. He only gave so few tickets. It seems it’s necessary to teach him a lesson!”

“Enough, it’s enough.” Yang Ming said, “You can send them to my school later.”

“No problem. If it isn’t enough, I will ask him again!” Hou Zhenhan said. In fact, Hou Zhenhan really misunderstood the boss of Huahai Cinema! The tickets for Christmas Eve were very hot! Let’s just talk about the couple seats. He reserved twenty sets of the best positions. He had to give them to the directors of some departments. Besides, his friends and relatives also got the tickets from him. Hou Zhenhan gave him a call. He gave three of the best couple seat tickets and two normal seat tickets without saying much.

But there was no way, the boss of Huahai knew that if he had offended others, he would only lose his face. But if he offended Hou Zhenhan, then it was over! Who was Hou Zhenhan? If these people came to the cinema and messed around, the cinema would close sooner or later.

What? Call the police? Could the police be here every day? When the police left then his theater would be waiting for renovations!

After Yang Ming informed Zhang Bing and Tian Donghua, they were very happy. Although Zhang Jiefang was also a very influential person, Zhang Bing couldn’t trouble him over such a little matter. As for Tian Donghua, he couldn’t use the power of his family because of this matter. Only Yang Ming was the most convenient because Hou Zhenhan was originally his man.

Hou Zhenhan came very quickly. It didn’t take long. Yang Ming received a call from him, saying that he had already arrived at the university gate.

Yang Ming didn’t eat breakfast and went directly to the school gate. He saw a very broken Jetta parked at the school gate. Hou Zhenhan was sitting in the driver’s seat.

The appearance of the Jetta also had traces of spray painting. Apparently, it was an official car that was eliminated from some official department. Of course, it might also be a scrapped taxi.

“Are you driving this car?” Yang Ming looked at Hou Zhenhan’s car with some surprise.
