"That must be Tong Xiaojun's house again, delaying the rent payment."

"Yeah, she drags it every month. She has no shame. If she can't afford it, she shouldn't live here."

"That's nothing. There's someone who saw her selling herself."

"Is it true?"

"It's definitely true. Her man is always idle, indulging in eating, drinking, gambling. Where does the money come from? Obviously, she sells herself."

"She's only good-looking, that's probably her only use."

All kinds of derogatory words made Tong Xiaojun feel ashamed. She has lost count of how many times she's been humiliated like this, all because she ended up with such a husband.

However, Tong Xiaojun can endure all these words. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured the hardship with Lu Fei for four long years.

Lu Fei heard all those words too, and his heart ached. Today he realized how much Tong Xiaojun has suffered. She is just a woman, after all.

Lu Fei walked out of the house, glaring at the neighbors. When they saw Lu Fei, they all shrank their necks. Lu Fei is a troublemaker, frequent fights are a usual thing for him, and they dare not provoke him.

"Oh, look who's at home, the man." Zhang Haifang smirked. Lu Fei may be a troublemaker, but she wasn't afraid, after all, she believed she was right.

Lu Fei, with a stern look, pulled Tong Xiaojun behind him and asked, "What did she just tell you to do?"

"What?"

"I'm asking you, what did she tell you to do?"

Zhang Haifang paused for a moment and looked at the people around. She thought Lu Fei wouldn't do anything to her, so she replied, "She asked her to go out and sell herself. If she can't pay the rent, she can make some money, right?"

Slap!

Lu Fei's face turned dark, and he slapped her hard.

That slap almost made Zhang Haifang see stars. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Holding her face, she said, "How dare you hit me? I'll fight you."

Saying that, Zhang Haifang jumped up, trying to scratch Lu Fei's face, but Lu Fei quickly kicked her, sending her flying back.

"If I don't hit you, you won't know who I really am. Try insulting once more, and I'll tear your mouth apart."

Seeing Zhang Haifang being beaten by Lu Fei, the neighbors who were badmouthing before dared not say a word.

Lu Fei took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and threw it onto Zhang Haifang's face. She was a bit scared, she didn't expect Lu Fei would really hit her.

"Take the money and get lost. If you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll bury you alive."

Zhang Haifang grabbed the money and hurriedly got up to run. She didn't know if Lu Fei's words were true or not, but she had seen it on TV, the black society really does such things, and in her eyes, Lu Fei is the black society.

"Why are you looking? Go back inside!" With Lu Fei's reprimand, the neighbors quickly closed their windows. They were a bit scared when they saw Lu Fei.

"What are you doing? Get back inside," Tong Xiaojun pulled Lu Fei from behind.

"This woman is just asking for trouble." Lu Fei turned around, holding Tong Xiaojun's hand and said, "If she comes again, yelling and screaming, tell me. Watch me tear her mouth apart!"

"Enough, stop talking. All you know is being tough!" Tong Xiaojun scolded.

"I won't let anyone bully my wife!" Lu Fei said.

Today, Lu Fei's tough attitude made Tong Xiaojun feel a little happy. She almost said, "Well done."

Everything has changed. Lu Fei used to never get involved in household matters, but today was the first time he stood up for himself.

"I hope we will get better and better. If you truly change for the better, I will definitely stay with you," Tong Xiaojun thought.

Tong Xiaojun went to work in the afternoon, while Lu Fei went to the old street.

Even though it was Monday, the business was still booming.

The old street always had a lot of people because there were many office workers who were willing to spend some money there.

By the afternoon, there were already more than 20,000 yuan in revenue, and it wasn't even peak hours yet. The peak hours for internet cafes and game arcades were in the evening.

"Flying Brother, are you thinking about Fei Entertainment 2 again?" Taozi laughed as he lost money.

"Of course, if we're going to do it, let's go big. I want to use this internet cafe to start a business empire!"

Listening to Lu Fei's exaggerated claims, Taozi, who trusted Lu Fei completely, was a bit confused. He chuckled and said, "Flying Brother, aren't you exaggerating a bit too much?"

Lu Fei smiled faintly and didn't explain. It was hard to imagine what he wanted to do with his intelligence and courage.

"Have you hired anyone?"

"There are two people, one cashier and one network administrator. They said they'll come over later, and you happen to be here, so let's take a look together," Taozi nodded.

"Alright, it's time to get formal. We need proper contracts for the money collected in the shop and the facilities. If we have contracts, we don't have to worry about the shop being emptied without us knowing," Lu Fei said.

"Understood!"

"I'll make a phone call!" Lu Fei said as he walked outside the shop.

"Hello, Yang, how are you?"

"Lu Fei? Oh, you rarely call me. I saw that your internet cafe opened for business this morning. I was planning to come and say hello, but when I looked, you weren't there," Yang Feifei answered the phone.

"That's right. I've been busy these past few days, so my friend is taking care of the shop. I have something to ask you!"

"What's up?" Yang Feifei responded.

Lu Fei said, "Could you check if there are any vacant shops or if anyone wants to sell in Shengle Street?"

After opening Fei Entertainment 1, Lu Fei had almost spent all his money. However, the income from Fei Entertainment 1 was much stronger than Xingxing Internet Cafe. There was a large flow of people here, and Lu Fei believed he could make around 150,000-160,000 yuan tomorrow. Now he had his eyes set on Fei Entertainment 2.

"Huh? You want to buy another shop?" Yang Feifei sounded incredulous. She remembered that Lu Fei's family didn't have much money. He had just bought one shop, and now he wanted to buy a second one?

"Yes, I want to open another internet cafe in Shengle Street," Lu Fei said.

"I'll check it out for you. If I have any information, I'll call you."

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Fei lit a cigarette. He had already visited Shengle Street. There was also a large flow of people there, especially around the schools. It was a great place for making money. The only problem was that there were no vacant shops. He couldn't go around asking one by one, so he approached Yang Feifei. After all, she was familiar with this circle.

He had to consider the flow of people in the location where he opened the shop. Currently, online gaming was not as popular, and young people still preferred places like game arcades. Although the trend was slowly changing, it was still limited.

If he opened a shop in a location with low foot traffic, he worried that his funds wouldn't be able to recover, and he might stagnate.
