Chapter 2

Old Lio gave a bitter laugh, “Little Michael, the money you lent me will definitely be returned, if I’m unable to return everything before I die, my daughter will carry on the debt…… Alas, if it wasn’t for me, that 100,000 dollars of yours can definitely be used to open a nice shop. You wouldn’t need to come here and sell fried chicken, and wouldn’t need to endure those hoodlum’s torment.”

Michael curled his lips, “I somewhat enjoy such a way of life, selling fried chicken isn’t bad, it is simple yet able provide enough for meals.”

“You are too……” Old Lio was a little depressed as he said, “Michael, you are only 23 or 24 years old, other youngsters of your age are either studying in university, or diligently trying to build a career. Right now you don’t even have a girlfriend, are you planning to sell fried chicken forever? You aren’t worried, but I feel worried as I watch you.”

Seeing Old Lio genuinely express worry for himself, Michael unconsciously revealed a slightly bitter expression, it’s not that he was not worried, he just never thought about it at all.

After the night fell, Michael tidied his stall, and pushed the cart back to the crappy apartment he rented.

This was a small apartment that has been around for who knows how many years. The rent for each month was only 100 dollars. It’s only because nobody wanted to live here that it was this cheap. Unlike other people who worried about the house falling apart, Michael decided to move in the moment he saw how cheap it was.

Michael's house had very simple furnishing, it was mostly second hand goods others dumped away. There was a bed, a cabinet, a chair, and a TV that could only watch some basic channels.

After pushing the small cart into his small house, Michael gazed upon the calendar hanging on the wall. He checked the date, suddenly remembered something, and promptly ran to the toilet.

In less than 5 minutes, he took a cold shower, and got out of the bathroom *****. His skin was a healthy yellow colour, his well-proportioned body wasn’t very conspicuous, but under careful observation, one could perceive a reserved feeling of masculinity.

Walking towards the cabinet beside the bed, Michael scratched his head in distress while looking at the pile of disorderly clothes. He picked out a few and finally put on a yellow shirt, a pair of light linen pants, and wore the same plastic slippers.

After leaving his house, Michael hurried towards the west region’s most prosperous street, which was also the shabby west region’s only respectable street, named “Bar Street”.

The nightlife of feasting and pleasure-seeking was all around, there were colorful skirts, and all sorts of different perfumes. The moment one entered Bar Street, the city’s atmosphere swept through.

Michael didn’t openly stare like some undisguised and unscrupulous young men, and also didn’t secretly peep at the thighs of beautiful ladies on the street that the others were drooling at.

The bar’s neon lit signboard wasn’t considered dazzling, the bar that could only be considered mid-sized contained a mysterious air, brilliantly colored rose shaped lights were decorated on the signboard.

After entering the bar, Michael walked to the side of the counter in a routine manner, and sat at a corner.

“Big bro Michael, you’re here.” The young bartender wearing a vest noticed Michael, and revealed a warm smile. At the same time, he brought out a cup of water, “Big sis Rose has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Michael gave him a smile, then took a sip from the glass, “Big sis Rose isn’t angry right? I returned home a little late, so I arrived late.”

“Not angry, not angry.” Little Yash smiled, it was as if the few pimples on his round face were smiling at him as well. With an imploring tone he said: “Big bro Michael, when you have time please teach me. What sort of method did you use that you even managed to pick up our big sis Rose? You know, if the people in city who were interested in our boss made a queue, they could queue from the west region till the sea. For so many years I’ve never seen the boss so in love with any other man. Yet today, just the question of whether you’re here yet, had been asked no less than 5 times…….”

“Don’t speak drivel, there’s nothing going on between me and big sis Rose…..” Michael helplessly, and unenthusiastically replied.

Little Yash had an expression of ‘I won’t believe that even if you kill me’, then sighed, “Geez…… big bro Michael, to be honest, this cold demeanor of yours is too high level, to be able to pick up a world-breaking beauty like our lady boss. Which man wouldn’t stick to her everyday? There’s only you, who comes only once in a while and even lets a beauty wait for you. Otherwise why do people say that things that you cannot obtain are the best? This sentence is suited to be used on women…..”

Right as little Yash had an expression of a saint at romance and exaggeration, a charming yet dignified and intelligent voice appeared behind him, “Little Yash, how many more times do you think your pay can get cut?”

As if he was shocked by an electric current, Little Yash was dumbfounded. Once he returned to his senses, he immediately sidestepped and pretended to mix drinks, as if nothing happened, but the cold sweat on his forehead gave away the fear in his heart.

With an elegant modern qipao, her thighs were vaguely displayed through the slit to the side of her leg which released an arousing sex appeal. In addition her plump breasts, and an exquisite waist matched well with that smooth porcelain-like face that looked like a meticulous piece of art. On her shoulder were strands of light purple hair. This was a young lady with an appearance like she came out from a painting, as she leisurely walked towards Michael.

Michael smiled with both his face and eyes, looking right at the lady without a trace of awkwardness, and sincerely said, “Big sis Rose, you’re really pretty, happy birthday.”
