Chapter 4, The Taste of Pain and Joy

Mr. Huan is my boss, and the Golden Splendor Entertainment Center is his enterprise

In less than four years, I became a direct subordinate of Brother Huan

Stepping out of the bedroom, I saw a suit hanging in the bathroom, which was exactly the one I had taken off last night, but it was already clean. Not only the suit, but even a few pieces of dirty underwear that I had thrown into a basin in the bathroom were also washed and hung up. The thermos in the kitchen was full, and the house appeared to be very clean. The floor had clearly been swept, and the kitchen cabinets had also been noticeably wiped.

As I looked at all of this, a sense of inexplicable emotion suddenly arose within me. I even hesitated to reach out and touch the things around me, fearing that if I did, I would soil these pristine objects.

Speaking of this person, he can be considered a legendary figure in this city. It is said that twenty years ago, he went to a coastal city in the south with one thousand yuan. Allegedly, he was involved in smuggling electrical appliances and gold, and later opened a seafood restaurant. Eight years ago, he returned to his hometown with a sum of money, and now he is regarded as a prominent figure in this city. In addition to "Golden Splendor," he owns two Western restaurants and a seafood hot pot restaurant. Two years ago, he also invested in a taxi company in the city, and currently, one-quarter of the taxis operating on the streets are under his company's name.

I smiled slightly: "You know quite a bit. Alright, I'm fine, you can go back now. This area is not very safe, so you should take a taxi when you go out. The company will reimburse you tomorrow."

"Xiao Wu, I heard there was some trouble last night at the venue, and you got a bit hurt?" The voice of Huan Ge came through the phone, his tone very gentle, a pleasing baritone. He always spoke in a calm and composed manner, as if he were perpetually confident of success.

"Alright, you are quite clever, I won't say much more." On the other end of the phone, Brother Huan chuckled, "It's been a while since I've had any activity. I was thinking of asking you to join me for a couple of games today, but since you're injured, let's wait for another opportunity to discuss it."

Moreover, Brother Huan is very fond of boxing; his skills are exceptional, not merely superficial but genuinely impressive! I studied martial arts for a few years, and he often seeks me out to practice boxing during his free time. I noticed many scars on his body, and once, out of curiosity, I asked him about them. His gaze was profound at that moment, and then he told me one thing:

The rib soup is so fragrant that it makes one salivate! As time went on, we few boys were almost in constant conflict, and some even deliberately slacked off in their training, waiting to be punished. Because everyone knew that as long as they gritted their teeth and endured the punishment, there would be delicious rib soup to enjoy in the evening

Under the light, I found her smile to be very captivating. There is a small dimple on the left corner of her mouth, and the corners of her lips curve upward like crescent moons, exuding a hint of playfulness

Hmm. Huan Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Wu, you know that A Qiang is not one of us. Among the four supervisors at the nightclub, you are the only one who is my trusted subordinate. You need to keep a close watch on the place; I consider you as part of the family."

The air in the room still lingered with the fragrance of Yandi, and I do not know why, but I slept very soundly that night, as if I had dreamt of scenes from my childhood

This person is considered a powerful figure in the city, as evidenced by the fact that the Golden Splendor Entertainment Center has never been subjected to any official inspections or scrutiny

Yan Di helped me into the bedroom and lay me down, then hurried to the bathroom. A moment later, she brought me a warm, damp towel. After I finished wiping my face, she quickly returned with a cup of hot water and handed me some anti-inflammatory medicine.

I do not concern myself with Huan Ge's intentions in cultivating me; perhaps he is merely nurturing a trusted subordinate. However, I know that one must be grateful. Everything I have now—my job, my salary, and the respect I receive from others—has been given to me by Huan Ge. This alone is enough for me to dedicate my life to him

Brother Huan treats his subordinates well, is very generous, and is also good to me. One of his frequently used sayings is: "If you work in the company and receive the company's salary, you are part of the company, so the company will definitely take care of you"

My parents passed away a long time ago, leaving me only a house. When I returned five years ago, I got into a fight on behalf of my brother and injured someone, which resulted in me having to pay a large sum of money. Consequently, I had no choice but to sell the house and went to work in a place filled with gold and splendor.

To outsiders, Jinbi Huiguang appears to be located within a renowned five-star hotel in the city. However, this entertainment center has no affiliation with the hotel; it merely leases the hotel's premises and is entirely the private property of Brother Huan.

I often say this to the subordinates of the nightclub now as well

He mentioned Awei, who is the head of security in the venue

After a night of such a warm and beautiful dream, when I woke up in the morning, my face was adorned with a smile, and when I touched the top of my head, it no longer hurt as much

Nonsense ... ? ... As a hot-blooded young man, having had a few drinks in the evening, being held in the arms of a charming light beauty for such a long time, if it were you at https://m.hetushu.com, wouldn't you feel "uncomfortable"?

Little Five, in this world, the amount you wish to obtain is directly proportional to the price you must pay

Only I know that my current situation is entirely due to the grace of Brother Huan

It was quite a challenge to get through the door, and both of us were extremely tired. Yan Di, due to having to support such a heavy person like me. As for me, I was enduring considerable discomfort

Young man, it would be wise to be cautious. You know I value you greatly, so in the future, try not to be so impulsive when handling matters. Not everything needs to be done personally; it is perfectly fine to delegate tasks to your subordinates. As for Awei and the others, paying them that amount each month is not just for show. If you have to handle everything yourself, then it might be better to let them go. " Brother Huan said lightly, "Take a day off today; don’t go to work tonight. Remember to go for your follow-up at the hospital; otherwise, if you damage your brain, no one will be there to practice boxing with me."

After saying this, I felt a bit dizzy. Yan Di noticed my lack of energy, came over, gently helped me lie down, and then assisted me in removing my outer clothing. It was only then that I realized I was still wearing my work suit, which had a stain on it. I remembered that it was from the guy in the private room who had vomited after I kicked him in the stomach. I couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.

Why does it feel uncomfortable

He rarely comes to the Golden Splendor now, and I know that he has effectively entrusted the management of the nightclub to me. Apart from financial matters, which I do not understand, I am basically in charge of everything else.

This girl is adorably silly; I told her that I am about to move, and she even helped me clean the house

I am somewhat moved in my heart: "Brother Huan, I understand."

It was also from that time that I understood what it meant to be "suffering yet joyful"...

Looking at the sweat on her forehead, I realized that when we were going upstairs just now, I had almost deliberately leaned on her, causing this weaker girl to bear nearly all of my weight as we made our way up to the third floor

Yan Di covered me with a quilt, then used a towel to wipe my face. After that, she took the clothes and exited the bedroom, conveniently closing the door behind her.

Brother Huan once said that in two years, I should stop working in the nightclub and follow him. He trusts me greatly, which is also the reason I was able to become a supervisor at the splendid nightclub at such a young age. Especially since I have worked here for five years, starting as a small worker washing dishes and gradually making my way up, he appreciates this very much. He also takes good care of me. What others do not know is that my salary is the highest among the four supervisors in the nightclub. With Brother Huan supporting me, when he is not around, I am practically in charge of the nightclub.

Well, it's good that you have no issues. Brother Huan paused for a moment and suddenly asked me, "How has A Qiang been doing lately?"

Everyone in the nightclub knows that I am the youngest manager; I am only 23 years old, yet I am able to lead such a large establishment. Many people speculate that I have a background.

I was taken aback for a moment, pondering the meaning of Huan Ge's words in my mind, and cautiously replied: "He is still the same, not doing anything out of the ordinary"

Do not assume that working in our line of business is associated with organized crime. Someone like Brother Huan, who holds significant influence in this city, is not part of the underworld, yet which organized crime group would dare to provoke him

In the morning, Brother Huan called me

I am a native of this city, but later I went to another place for middle school, where I apprenticed under an old boxing master and learned traditional martial arts for several years. As a result, in my youth, I acquired some skills, but inevitably, my youthful vigor led me to be overly aggressive and combative, causing me to neglect my studies and ultimately fail to gain admission to university. Five years ago, I returned to this city, alone and solitary.

Well, I don't have much to say, just that a few guests got drunk and caused a minor incident

"Xiao Wuge, are you hungry?" Yan Di asked me in a soft voice, "I can smell the alcohol on you; you must have had quite a bit to drink tonight. My mother told me that after drinking, one tends to get hungry easily at night."

I know that Huan Ge is joking with me, and I smiled and said, "I'm fine, Huan Ge"

Upon entering, Yan Di was taken aback by the two large suitcases in the living room. I smiled and explained, "I will be vacating this house in a week. I am in the process of moving, and these are my packed belongings"

At that time, practicing martial arts under my master was quite tough. I was often punished with a bamboo stick on my backside. However, after the punishment, my master would always prepare a pot of pork rib soup for us to drink in the evening

"Alright, you can sit down and take a rest now." I felt somewhat moved as I took the cup, and under her gentle gaze, I swallowed the pill. Only then did Yan Di break into a smile.

By a stroke of luck, Brother Huan took notice of me. After working as a busboy for a year, I became a receptionist, then worked as a waiter for another year. Later, I was promoted to manager, and eventually became a supervisor

Moreover, we operate in a high-end venue, where the clientele consists of relatively affluent individuals or those of some standing. If the establishment were to have several burly, menacing-looking individuals from the underworld guarding the premises every day, would that not frighten away the customers?

After speaking, the call was disconnected

We do not have anyone here to oversee the situation on the street
