"Bro Gao's outfit is absolutely outstanding! If I'm not mistaken, Bro Gao has truly hit the jackpot today!" Wu Ke, usually so soft-spoken, is known for his attention to detail—he not only organized his group of tough guys efficiently but also noticed how vibrant and spirited Bro Gao looked, sensing that Bro Gao was destined for good fortune. "Exactly! You've nailed it!" Bro Gao said with genuine pride. "I'm telling you the truth—today, not only is my fortune flourishing, but I've also discovered a precious treasure!" At the unanimous request of his brothers, Bro Gao unveiled the hallmaster's token, a golden phoenix plaque, masterfully crafted from pure gold, instantly capturing everyone's attention. "Bro! You've actually become the second-in-command of Long-Feng Hall!" His brothers were in awe, quickly dropping the title "Bro Gao" and instead shouting proudly, "Older Brother, you're amazing!" "That's right! I'm now officially the Deputy Hallmaster of Long-Feng Hall!" At the same time, our campus faction Fenghuo Hall also needs to continue strengthening its capabilities!" High Light never failed to highlight his own personally founded core faction, Fenghuo Hall, which made his brothers feel proud. "Boss, I'm not going to hold back—under your guidance, our brothers have been diligently improving their physical fitness. Now they're all energetic, strong, and in top shape. They're only waiting for your command to immediately take on special assignments!" Fat Deng added. "Excellent! All of you are doing a great job!" High Light praised his thirty-some brothers, who were delighted and enthusiastically raised their right hands as if pouring something into their mouths. High Light pretended to be unaware and said, "I haven't seen a single thing!" "Boss! I'll cover the banquet expenses!" Fat Deng, with a solid financial background, had already set aside part of his savings and living expenses specifically for Fenghuo Hall's operational costs. Unexpectedly, High Light stepped in and said, "Counting on the brothers' goodwill, I'll be the one to host the banquet!" "Wow!" Our boss is hosting today! I'm going to eat him out of house and home!" Fei-Zhu Deng joked with a smile. "I'll have the best dishes! Let's go to Tian Shang Ren Jian, the restaurant near No.1 Middle School!" Wēi Suǒ Yang, far from being a simple guy, has been spending his savings on movies lately—never had a proper meal yet. "I'd like a sea cucumber banquet! It's been a long time since I last had one!" Ruan Dan Wu, a bit timid, swallowed a lump of saliva. The other brothers also looked eager, their mouths watering. Gao Huang watched them, knowing they'd been starved by the campus canteen—no matter how much they paid, the food just couldn't satisfy. The canteen's dishes were often under-seasoned and lacked in portion size, leaving these active, fitness-conscious colleagues only half-full. The timing for this meal was truly perfect. Yet, the 100,000 yuan in the card was all set aside to help repay the medical debts owed by his mother! Still, right now, hosting these colleagues was the top priority. The money, after all, is earned by people. It's about giving up—what's the point of holding on if we're going to give up now? We'll still need all of you to contribute in many ways going forward. At this moment, Gao Liang has a new idea. He wants to lead this group of brothers to build their own empire, just like Longfeng Hall—establishing their own industrial company. Expanding operations across various sectors, growing steadily. The Ruxue Street near the school, the Tian Shang Ren Jian restaurant. Gao Liang and his close associates walk in with confidence. A beautiful female server approaches with a warm smile, "Good afternoon, sir. How may I assist you?" "Bring me the menu!" Gao Liang says with composure, taking the menu respectfully offered by the server. Turning to his three close friends and the other brothers, he says, "Each of you pick one dish you'd like to try!" "Wow! That's great!" The brothers eagerly crowd around the menu, selecting dishes. The server smiles, pulls out a notebook, and quickly jots down the names of the dishes being ordered. "Please hold on a moment!" "Let's all enjoy the tea first!" Seeing over thirty people seated comfortably at three large round tables, the female server went inside. There were still twenty minutes until the dishes were served, and the brothers were chatting and laughing among themselves—some telling jokes about their personal lives, others sharing how they'd recently been lucky enough to win several hundred yuan playing at the gambling halls outside the campus. Yet Wu, clearly unheeded, stared straight at the striking girl who had just entered. Upon closer inspection, even Fei Zhuang Deng and Humble Yang had shifted their gaze to her. For heaven's sake—these brothers, as if they hadn't seen a beauty in years! If one were to transport an old-style scholar back to the Song Dynasty, even someone as renowned as Pan Jinlian would have been passed over. Through mental training, they'd grown so accustomed to beauty that they now barely noticed it. But when Gao Liang glanced at her along with the others, he himself was struck silent. How beautiful she was! Beneath her bright, lively eyes stood a delicate nose, and her cherry-like lips were utterly captivating. Especially her long, lustrous black hair, flowing and graceful. Her chest, like a proud white rabbit, rose proudly, her abdomen flat and her hips smoothly curved. In her sleek, professional attire, her slender figure stood out even more, exquisitely refined. Was it just my eyes playing tricks? Why did this girl immediately capture my attention upon first sight? Was it her appearance—or her aura? At that moment, several servers brought out the dishes that had just been ordered. The various courses released a fragrant aroma, yet due to the arrival of this beautiful woman, the male guests suddenly forgot to appreciate even the delicious flavors. Truly, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Soon, the beautiful woman was swaying with a drowsy, blurry gaze. Gaoliang glanced at his team of brothers still staring, then checked the watch, and immediately grew impatient, bellowing, "Are you guys actually looking at the woman or here to eat?" As soon as the leader spoke, his thirty-some brothers instantly snapped to attention.
