Chapter 107: A Stroll Through the Night Market

After dinner, Wen Biyun stayed at the hotel for work-related matters, so she asked Ye Feng to take everyone out for a stroll. Upon hearing this, the group was overjoyed. Although they had traveled all over the world, their trips were always rushed missions, leaving them no time to explore.

Seeing their excitement, Ye Feng scoffed, "For heaven's sake, do you have no ambition? Why get so worked up just over a stroll? It’s not like you’re going on a blind date with some beauty." Ye Feng knew all too well how stifling life in the military could be for these boys.

"Brother Feng, you can't say that," Chu Yun said with a grin. "Think about it, a dashing man like me walking down the street—I’d be turning heads everywhere!" If he could meet a beauty as gentle as his sister-in-law, he would be in heaven; he’d gladly die of exhaustion for that.

"Damn it, Chu Yun, have you no shame? Those beauties would be lucky not to be frightened to death by you. Look at you, dark as charcoal—you look just like Judge Bao," Liu Zhenhua said, eyeing him with disdain. He thought he was a lady-killer? If he scared all the girls away, how would anyone else get a chance to flirt?

"Zhenhua, why don't you go find a puddle and look at yourself? You’re no fairer than I am! Don't you dare talk," Chu Yun retorted, annoyed that Zhenhua always loved to expose his past. "Right, Brother Feng?" But when he turned around, he realized Ye Feng and Chen Xiang had already walked ahead.

The two quickly caught up. "Brother Feng, why did you leave without us?" Chu Yun and Liu Zhenhua complained. Ye Feng turned with a faint smile, "Xiang and I saw how excited you two were about beauties, so we decided to step aside and let you chat."

"Exactly," Chen Xiang added with a chuckle. "Look at you two, acting like you haven't seen a woman in lifetimes. Anyone listening would think you were reincarnated lechers." When Ye Feng saw them getting so animated, he had pulled Chen Xiang away.

"To hell with that! *You're* the one who’s a reincarnated lecher! Is that how you talk to your brothers?" the two retorted in unison. They were still pure, innocent lads, after all!

For men, strolling is a simple affair: walking around, grabbing some barbecue, and downing two dozen beers. The four of them drank heartily. The owner, seeing them polish off two dozen bottles with no signs of stopping, approached with a grin: "Bosses, would you like to order more?"

"Haha, don't worry about it for now, owner. We’ll manage with what we have; we shouldn't drink too much," Ye Feng said, still clear-headed. Chu Yun and the others, however, were already flushed, their speech slightly slurred.

The owner nodded and went back to work. Ye Feng continued to challenge the others to drink, downing bottles in one go. Chen Xiang cheered from the side: "Go, Brother Feng! Go, Brother Yun!"

Chu Yun was feeling the pressure. Ye Feng’s capacity and speed were terrifying. He had started out confident, but as he watched the level in Ye Feng’s bottle drop faster than his own, his resolve wavered.

*Thud!* Ye Feng slammed his empty bottle onto the table. Chu Yun, refusing to be outdone, gulped his down and, ten seconds later, finished his own, grinning at Ye Feng.

"Not bad! Your tolerance hasn't dipped at all," Ye Feng said, patting Chu Yun on the shoulder. Chu Yun laughed, "Hardly, Brother Feng. You’re the one who hasn't lost your touch. By the way, how are things going with the company?"

"Shan told me yesterday that it should be ready in a few days. With the Huang Group backing us, getting started shouldn't be an issue. But you all need to step up your training and cultivate more core talent," Ye Feng replied. He had pulled ten men from Ma Long’s group, and with Chen Xiang and Liu Zhenhua, they only had thirteen—still too few.

"We’ll keep that in mind. We’ve been training hard, and I’ve discussed it with Zhenhua and Xiang. Everyone is on board to make this company a success," Chu Yun said proudly.

"By the way, Brother Feng, what’s your relationship with Chairman Huang Shan? Why is she being so helpful?" Liu Zhenhua asked. When they were in the provincial capital, they were stunned to learn that Ye Feng had a security firm in addition to his club.

Ye Feng paused. What was his relationship with Shan? Lovers? Not quite. But if they weren't, why would she be so dedicated? "I don't really know how to put it. Let’s just focus on doing a good job and building a career."

"Agreed!" the others nodded. "Let’s toast to Brother Feng! Thank you for leading us. We believe that with you, we’ll make something of ourselves."

"What have I done to deserve such loyalty from you brothers?" Ye Feng was touched. "I promise, I will stand with you through thick and thin. Let’s build our future! Cheers!"

The four clinked their bottles and drank. "Eat up, eat up! The barbecue here is good," Ye Feng urged.

"Right, let's eat! Since Brother Feng is the boss now, don't be shy!" Everyone laughed, but suddenly, a loud crash echoed nearby, causing all four of them to drop their chopsticks.
