The company entrance was a complete shambles.
There were large amounts of paint and trash on the ground.
The main gate had been smashed, and there was no glass left in the doors or windows.
All the employees had run outside, fear evident in their eyes.
Jiang Xu stepped forward, his voice grave, “Can anyone tell me what happened?”
An older employee stepped forward timidly and said, “We arrived early in the morning and found it like this, but we’re not sure why.”
“Good morning, everyone.”
Suddenly, a robust voice rang out.
Jiang Xu turned his head.
He saw a group of men dressed in black suits, wearing ties and sunglasses, walking towards him in a uniform stride.
The leader was a crew-cut man in his early forties.
He took off his sunglasses, glanced at An Nuonuo with disgust,
but when he saw Jiang Xu, his eyes almost turned into the shape of peach blossoms.
Jiang Xu took a step back in fright.
F*ck, don’t mess with me.
Could this be what they call the aging “o” population?
“Which one of you is the boss?”
“I am,” Jiang Xu said impassively, stepping in front of An Nuonuo, “Did you do this to my company?”
“Of course not, we’re all law-abiding citizens.”
Jiang Xu looked at the group, dressed in suits yet still looking ferocious, with bulges at their waists — clearly carrying weapons — and fell into deep thought. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Mo Keqi, you can call me Old Mo, or you can call me… Mo Mo.”
Having said that, he even threw a coquettish glance at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu clenched his fist and then relaxed it.
If this had been in his home country, he would’ve slapped the man across the face.
“Is there something you need, Mr. Mo Keqi?”
“I’d like to discuss a partnership with you. Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
“Sure, please come inside.”
Jiang Xu invited the man inside.
He gave the bodyguards a look.
Be on guard.
An Nuonuo’s safety was the top priority.
In the reception room, Jiang Xu and Mo Keqi sat facing each other.
He brought a few of his men in, who stood behind him.
An Nuonuo also came in, along with several female bodyguards.
Mo Keqi greedily glanced at Jiang Xu, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said with a chuckle, “You see, I run a security company.
I just happened to pass by today and saw that your company had been vandalized.
It must have been some thugs from the streets.
I’ll tell you, these kinds of people are the scariest.
They’re capable of vandalism, robbery, and arson, and your type, coming from abroad, is especially vulnerable to bullying.
If you want peace, you surely need security.
I’m very familiar with this area, and since I like the look of you, I’ll give you a friendly price — one million Eagle Bangs a month.”
Currently, the exchange rate between Eagle Bangs and the local currency is nine to one.
One Eagle Bang can be exchanged for about nine of the local currency.
This guy was asking for nine million a month right off the bat.
That would be more than a billion a year.
It sounded good, something about helping to solve problems.
But even a fool could see that this was just a little play staged by Mo Keqi himself.
He was essentially demanding protection money from Jiang Xu.
One billion a year was actually not too bad.
But the problem was that these guys might get greedy.
Offer one million Eagle Bangs, and later they might want two million, three million.
However, at the moment, Jiang Xu still did not know the details about this guy and it wasn’t wise to turn hostile right away.
So he said he needed some time to think it over.
“I do have a compromise,” Mo Keqi said, staring at Jiang Xu with a sly grin, “If you’re willing to keep me company, fifty thousand Eagle Bangs a month will do.”
An Nuonuo at the side: E(°A°|||)| !
Jiang Xu: o((0_O))o!
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Jiang Xu once again stated he needed to consider it.
Mo Keqi didn’t pressure too much, saying he would come back tomorrow.
After he left, Jiang Xu cursed under his breath.
He hadn’t expected that one day, he too would be targeted by a pervert.
Has the world really gone this crazy?
“Brother Xu, what should we do now?” An Nuonuo asked, a bit frightened.
With Jiang Xu by her side, she turned into a delicate woman, instinctively wanting to rely on him.
“I’ll check out that guy’s background first,” said Jiang Xu in a deep voice.
It’s just that he didn’t have many connections in Eagle Country.
He could only ask Bai Xue if she knew any influential people here.
He called her and briefly explained the situation.
Bai Xue then recommended someone to Jiang Xu.
Considered to be one of the local big shots in Lun Dun.
Bai Xue had invested in several of the person’s companies.
Those in the underworld don’t just fight and kill anymore.
One by one, they’re all suited up, running companies.
What matters now is the packaging.
That afternoon, Jiang Xu was sitting in a coffee shop.
The shop was opened by someone from their country.
Most of the customers had Eastern faces.
The waitstaff were also students from their homeland, earning their keep while studying abroad.
“Jiang Xu?”
A girl around 155 centimeters tall, with a lolita face but quite the impressive figure, stood in front of Jiang Xu.
She really exemplified what is meant by ‘baby-faced with a…’
“Hello,” Jiang Xu stood up. “Are you Miss Zhang San?”
When Bai Xue gave him the contact information, she only mentioned the name was Zhang San.
He had thought it was a man.
He didn’t expect it to be a girl who looked completely harmless.
“Correct, I am Zhang San,” she said, pulling out a chair to sit. “This is my alias.
Now, tell me about your problem.”
Jiang Xu always felt a bit of dissonance.
The girl looked like she might not even be of age.
But her speech was very mature.
He briefly recounted what had happened.
Zhang San showed a troubled expression. “So, it’s Mo Keqi. He’s quite powerful.
He has over two thousand staff, and many companies in Lun Dun are under his protection.
You should know what it means to be able to survive here.”
Jiang Xu frowned. “You mean, even you can’t do anything?”
Zhang San tapped her fingertips lightly on the table.
After a while, she spoke, “Initially, I didn’t want to oppose Mo Keqi.
But since you were introduced by Bai Xue, here’s what we’ll do—first, give me a million Eagle Bang.”
Trusting in Bai Xue, Jiang Xu immediately gave her a million Eagle Bang on the spot.
As he walked out of the coffee shop, Jiang Xu looked around.
A bus happened to pass by right in front of him.
Seeing the advertisement printed on the bus, Jiang Xu remembered.
Li Chaoren had started investing in Eagle Country since the last century.
It is said that he had invested over four hundred billion to date.
So here, you can see a lot of people from their country, as well as various facilities and elements from home.
Li Chaoren now seemed to be almost detached from the mundane world, beyond the five elements.
His mind flickered with various thoughts.
Jiang Xu leisurely walked back.
As he passed by a stall, he paused.
It was a small stall selling trinkets.
Jiang Xu squatted down and after some selection, picked out something.
He had just paid and was getting up.
“Jiang Xu? What are you doing here?”
He had only walked a few steps when a voice mixed with surprise called out from behind him.
