Chapter 92: Little Ling Gets Beaten

  After the besiegers dispersed, Hei Zi and Lu He met up. Lu He asked about the situation and said: "Hei Zi, it seems like someone is framing you."

  "Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? Lately, there have been many people trying to mess with me."

  Lu He helped Hei Zi analyze it, and they found that except for the iron factory incident, everything else went smoothly. They still couldn't figure out who was targeting Hei Zi, so it seemed like they would have to wait until the opponent made their next move before they could find an opportunity to catch them.

  Hei Zi hadn't seen Xiao Fei for a while, and they were both very excited to see each other. Hei Zi asked about the situation at the mine entrance and the selection field. Everything was going smoothly in several places. Hei Zi called Da Kui and told him to bring his own little brothers to keep an eye on things, and let Xiao Fei and himself go play in the county town for a few days.

  Hei Zi's industry has now formed an industrial chain, with the iron ore from the two mining mouths in the open-pit mine being transported to his own dressing plant. Hei Zi now has not only a dressing plant near the open-pit mine but also another one affiliated with the ironworks next to it. The iron powder produced by these two dressing plants is still not enough for their own ironworks, so they don't need to sell their iron ore and pellets outside at all, making management much easier.

  The iron factory has been on the right track since the first furnace came out, with dedicated sales staff responsible for selling mold iron, and financial management also has a dedicated person in charge. Heizi's brothers are only responsible for supervision, and other things don't need to be taken care of anymore.

  The iron factory was managed by Old Zhao in an orderly manner. Wu Yu and others also gradually became idle these days, and Wu Yu returned to the county town with Hei Zi and others.

  The second day was gloomy, looking like it was going to rain. Hei Zi and the others went to their own restaurant and KTV for a spin. Zhuo Xiao Fei and Wu Yu were both very excited. Wu Yu said: "Lao Wu, we're just missing Lao Si. If he can join us after graduation, our five brothers will be complete."

  "Hei Zi shook his head and said: 'I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Can a Tsinghua high-achieving student mix with our kind of society?'"

  "What a mixed-up society, we're running a business, very legitimate." Zhū Xiǎofēi was somewhat dissatisfied with Heizi's words.

  "Whatever, who among us can run a business? Besides eating, drinking and fighting, what else can we do?" Hei Zi said.

  After hearing Hei Zi's words, Wu Yu and Zhu Xiao Fei both nodded in agreement. They indeed were not good at managing the business, and if they continued like this, the company would not be able to go far.

  Back at the Xinglong Garden home, Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei, Wu Yu discussed for an entire morning. They came to a conclusion that if they wanted to continue down this path, they would have to hire several excellent professional managers, hand over all their industries to them for management, and from then on, the brothers would no longer interfere. What they needed to do was expand their business scope. It's hard to conquer the world, but it's even harder to rule it.

  Hei Zi thought about all the people he knew, but couldn't find a single professional to take over. It seemed that the iron factory and mine, ore dressing plant, and pelletizing plant could only be temporarily handed over to Old Man Zhao for management. This Old Man Zhao was a reliable person, but he was getting on in years.

  The three of them discussed and decided that tomorrow they would take Zhao Lao to the mine entrance, ore dressing plant and pelletizing plant to have a look. Then they would hand over all these places to him, let him arrange the personnel and management, and from then on, the brothers would only appear when needed and wouldn't interfere with anything else.

  The clouds in the sky are getting lower, Hei Zi and they are preparing to let Wang Peng go out to buy some ingredients to cook by themselves, today they won't go out to eat. Just as Wang Peng was about to leave, Hei Zi received a call from Liu Pengfei, asking him to come to the Tang Dynasty Hotel, wanting to introduce someone to him.

  Hei Zi knew that Liu Pengfei's introductions were all people who would be useful in the future, so they had to give up their plan to cook for themselves.

  Tang Dynasty Hotel is located in the development zone at the northeast corner of the county town. After leaving Xinglong Garden, follow Yingbin Avenue and drive for a short distance to arrive. Wang Pengcheng drove, while Hei Zi and his two friends sat in the back row, laughing and joking around.

  The car had just driven onto the Welcome Avenue for less than three minutes when it stopped. Wu Yu stuck his head out and asked, "Hey, why have we stopped?"

  Wu Yu likes to call Wang Pengcheng K, he says he wants to cultivate Wang Pengcheng into the K in Fist of Legend. Although Wang Pengcheng is very loyal to Hei Zi, he is quite reserved in front of him and has a kind of reverence for Hei Zi. In front of Wu Yu, Wang Pengcheng relaxes a lot more, Wu Yu seems like Wang Pengcheng's brother, while Hei Zi appears more like an elder to Wang Pengcheng.

  "Wu Ge, Hei Ge, someone is fighting." Wang Pengcheng pointed to the side of the road and said.

  There were many people surrounding the road, and it was unclear who was fighting. Hei Zi waved his hand and said: "Forget about that, let's go, or else Lao Da will get anxious."

  Wu Yu pushed open the car door and said: "Wait a few minutes, I'll go take a look."

  "Wu Yu, it's none of our business, don't bother," Zhu Xiaofei shouted as he saw Wu Yu get off the car.

  Heizi feared that Wu Yu would cause trouble, so he patted Wang Pengcheng on the shoulder and said: "Pengcheng, pull the car over to the side of the road, let's all go take a look."

  When they pushed into the crowd of onlookers, they saw seven or eight people beating a girl. The girl was holding her head and begging for mercy, with a white bicycle thrown aside nearby.

  "It's Xiaolingzi, stop it right now." Wang Pengcheng shouted.

  A little boy with a green pompadour on his head, who was in the midst of a fight, heard Wang Peng's roar and looked up to scold: "Mind your own business."

  Hei Zi also recognized that the one being beaten was Xiao Lingzi, the little babysitter, and he too shouted loudly: "All of you stop it at once, can't you hear me?"

  The seven or eight young hooligans stopped and looked up at Hei Zi, saw that there were only four of them, wearing ordinary clothes and not very old. Green Hair glared with his eyes and said: "What do you want to do? Is she your sister?"

  Xiao Fei arrived beside Wu Yu, he was afraid that Wu Yu would take action, Wu Yu smiled and said: "Xiao Fei, don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

  Three years in prison had changed Wu Yu's temper; if it were the past, seeing several big men beating a girl would have made him rush up immediately.

  "He's just my sister." Wang Pengcheng slapped a loud slap on Green Hair's face.

  The green-haired man was stunned for a moment before reacting and shouting: "F**k, dare to hit me? Brothers, come on!"

  Seven or eight young hooligans rushed towards Wang Pengcheng.

  Xiao Fei gave Wu Yu a push and said: "You go take a look at that girl, leave this to us two."

  Wu Yu knew that Zhu Xiaofei was afraid of getting into trouble again, so he nodded and said: "Okay."

  Heizi and Zhu Xiaofei rushed over to help Wang Pengcheng, while Wu Yu came to Xiao Lingzi's side.

  Xiao Lingzi knew someone was helping her, and she sat on the ground with her head raised, but before she could see clearly, both sides had already started fighting. Wu Yu came over to help Xiao Lingzi up and said: "Girl, are you okay?"

  Xiao Lingzi was a bit uncomfortable with being called that, it sounded awkward to her ears, and Wu Yu seemed like an LM, but since his brothers were helping her now, she didn't say the word "LM" out loud.

  "Thank you, big brother," Little Ling said in a low voice.

  Wu Yufu sat down on the curb with Xiaoling and said: "You stay here and watch, let my brother help you vent."

  "Big brother, thank you?" Little Lingzi looked at Wu Yu with sparkling eyes.

  "No need to thank me, we're all old friends."

  Xiao Ling felt strange. This kid always talks as if he's familiar with me, but I don't know him at all. Could it be that I've really met LM again? Isn't this just getting out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den?
