141: Liu Hei

"Of course, I always keep my word," Qin Shou nodded.

"Brother Qin, actually, I want to work with you." After getting Qin Shou's affirmative reply, Zhang Wei expressed his desire without hesitation.

"Work with me?"

Qin Shou couldn't help but frown, thinking, 'Isn't his dad the CEO of Shengshi Group? One of the largest local real estate developers in the City, why would he want to work with a small boss like me who shoots short dramas?'

Zhang Wei saw through Qin Shou's thoughts, smiled awkwardly, and explained, "Brother Qin, to be honest, I'm not the only child in my family. I also have an older brother named Zhang Yida. He's better than me in all aspects, so the elders in the family prefer him. Therefore, I hope to strike out on my own and achieve something."

"Oh, so that's what happened!"

Qin Shou nodded in realization, thinking, 'So it's a Second-generation rich fighting for family property, to prove his own ability!'

However, what Qin Shou didn't know was that Zhang Wei had only told half the story. He didn't even have the qualifications to compete for family property, because his father Zhang Zhicheng's achievements today were largely due to his legal wife, and his brother Zhang Yida was the son of that legal wife.

He could still enjoy the life of a Second-generation rich entirely because Zhang Zhicheng was still in charge of Shengshi Group. But in the past two years, Zhang Zhicheng's health had been deteriorating, and his legal wife, Ye Lan, had become increasingly overbearing. Although Zhang Wei appeared glamorous on the surface, he actually only received tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money from Zhang Zhicheng each month.

Even so, he lived a much more carefree life than most ordinary people. But for Zhang Wei, who was used to lavish spending, how could that money be enough?

And the most critical thing was that Zhang Wei could clearly feel that recently, it had become increasingly difficult to ask his father, Zhang Zhicheng, for money. The reason was none other than the fact that Zhang Zhicheng's wife, Ye Lan, was now in charge of the family's finances.

Zhang Wei was truly a thorn in Ye Lan's side. The only reason she hadn't found someone to kill Zhang Wei was entirely due to Zhang Zhicheng's protection, let alone giving him money to spend.

The last time Zhang Zhicheng asked Zhang Wei to entertain Ye Wuhuan, it was because he considered that after he lost power in the future, Zhang Wei would have someone to rely on. Unfortunately, Zhang Wei messed that up.

So, in desperation, Zhang Wei could only find another way out. In recent times, Zhang Wei had also witnessed Qin Shou's marvels. That's why today he decided to go all out, set aside his pride, and try every possible way to latch onto Qin Shou.

Qin Shou paused and asked, "Okay, but tell me, what have you done since graduating from university? If we're going to cooperate, I need to know what you're good at, right?"

"Uh—!"

Qin Shou's words immediately stumped Zhang Wei. After graduating from university, all he had done was eat, drink, and have fun; he hadn't done anything serious, making him utterly useless.

In frustration, Zhang Wei could only give a dry laugh and say, "Hehe, Brother Qin, I can drink. Does that count as a skill?"

Qin Shou helplessly patted his forehead, thinking, 'You can't do anything, and I don't need you to invest money for me, so why would I want you to work with me?'

However, even though Qin Shou thought this in his heart, he still readily agreed, "Alright, Zhang Wei, I'll keep this in mind. When my next short drama starts filming, or when I have other investments, I'll look for you to cooperate."

"Okay."

Zhang Wei nodded, somewhat dejectedly, knowing that Qin Shou was most likely just being polite, and this matter was probably off.

Yang Lu, who was beside him, saw her boyfriend's timid behavior and felt her own worth drop, her inner disgust growing, making her appreciate Qin Shou even more.

Qin Shou and the others were enjoying their grand meal, chatting and laughing, unaware that another problem was about to come knocking.

Black Liu was currently sitting by the hospital bed, his face ashen, looking at his son, Liu Haiyuan, who had just undergone bone-setting surgery and was still unconscious.

"Knock, knock, knock—!"

The hospital room door was knocked from outside.

"Come in."

Black Liu's voice was a little hoarse.

The hospital room door opened from outside, and two people walked in. They were Liu San and Zhang Biao, who had been used by Qin Shou that day. After entering, they stood respectfully behind Black Liu.

"Have you found out? Who exactly is it, so reckless, to dare beat my son, Black Liu's son, like this?"

Black Liu didn't turn around, still looking down at his son on the hospital bed, his voice carrying a clear hint of anger.

Zhang Biao said respectfully, "Big Brother, it's still unclear who the assailant is, but it seems he got into a conflict with Young Master because of a female university student named Xu Nanqin, which led to the fight. This person drove a bmw x5 and is now apparently drinking with this female university student named Xu Nanqin at Zuiyue Tower."

Upon hearing this, Black Liu's expression grew even colder. His eye twitched involuntarily from anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "To beat my son like this because of a woman, his methods are too ruthless. And after touching my son, Black Liu's son, he still dares to brazenly go to Zuiyue Tower to drink. Good, very good! It seems I, Black Liu, have been low-key for too long, and the younger generation in the City no longer knows the name 'Iron Palm Black Liu'."

"Big Brother, should we...?"

Zhang Biao made a throat-slitting gesture and asked in a low voice.

Black Liu closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said calmly, "This person can beat Haiyuan like this, he must be at least Yellow Rank Peak, or even Yellow Rank Peak Great Perfection. You and Liu San go together. To be safe, it's best to bring two guns. Kill the man directly. As for the woman, after you and your subordinates are done playing with her, send her to my Liu Family's nightclub to be a hostess."

Zhang Biao and Liu San exchanged glances upon hearing this, a sinister smile appearing at the corners of their mouths.

"Hehe, don't worry, Boss, we'll do it cleanly."

"Hmm, if there's nothing else, go do it quickly. I don't want this person to live past tonight." Black Liu waved his hand, signaling for the two to leave.

Qin Shou and the others' dinner party continued until evening, when people gradually began to leave. By the time Qin Shou, Xu Nanqin, and the others walked out of the private room, the streetlights were already lit.

As Qin Shou walked out of the private room, he deliberately paid attention to the private room where Gu Ling and the big man were, and he just happened to see Gu Ling and the big man walking out.

Qin Shou immediately shrank back, hiding behind the private room door, fearing that the two would discover him.

Everyone had just eaten and drunk their fill, and they were all chatting and laughing, not noticing anything unusual about Qin Shou.

Qin Shou had originally thought that these two had left long ago, but he didn't expect them to be leaving only now. Qin Shou immediately had the idea of following them.

"Nanqin, I suddenly remembered I have some things to do. How about you go back by yourself?"
