A coffee shop across the street from Longyan Auto Repair Shop.
Two men sat facing each other, each with a cup of untouched latte coffee in front of them.
The man with a rather handsome face was the Prince of the Hongxing War God, and Tsim Sha Tsui was his territory.
He never thought that the people of Kowloon Walled City would actually dare to come out and open such a luxurious high-end auto repair shop in his territory without even greeting him.
This was not giving him face.
If there was money to be made together, he would have turned a blind eye.
Now, he was watching others make money with both eyes open, which was more uncomfortable than losing money himself.
Although it had only been open for a few days, the Prince had already sent people to monitor the Longyan Auto Repair Shop and found that it was very profitable.
At first, what made the Prince most puzzled was why, even though it was just a car repair, the price of Longyan Auto Repair Shop was ten times higher than other repair shops, and those upper-class elites were happy to pay.
If it was the first time, they were trying something new, it would be fine, after all, it's human nature to be unable to resist new things, but the Prince's men came back and told him that there were many repeat customers.
You know, many rich second-generation's luxury cars could easily be in the double digits.
The Prince had at least confirmed that three rich second-generation's luxury cars were entrusted to the Longyan Auto Repair Shop for maintenance.
This was obviously a problem.
If it weren't for his status, the Prince really wanted to go and see for himself.
Ultimately.
The Prince chose a compromise.
He borrowed a luxury car.
At this moment, an Aston Martin supercar worth 8 million yuan was parked at the entrance of the coffee shop, and many people who saw it chose to detour.
If they accidentally bumped into it, they might be compensated to the point of bankruptcy.
This Aston Martin supercar worth 8 million yuan was the one that Lu Yan had repaired not long ago.
The Prince originally thought that the Longyan Auto Repair Shop wouldn't dare to repair it, but the next day, someone came to fix it.
After much thought, the Prince decided to wait and see.
At least, the owner of Longyan Auto Repair Shop was bold.
You know, in this era, those who can afford a supercar worth 8 million yuan are either rich or noble.
"It's best if you personally experience it."
The young man opposite the Prince said meaningfully: "It's really worth the money, I have to say, the owner of this shop is a business genius, he came up with this method."
After speaking, the young man left the coffee shop and drove away the Aston Martin supercar.
"Worth the money?"
The Prince couldn't believe that these words came out of the young man's mouth.
He knew what kind of person he was, always very arrogant.
Ultimately.
The Prince also left quickly, without even needing to pay the bill.
This street was his.
Seeing this, the coffee shop employees did not stop him.
Anyone who worked here knew the Prince of the Hongxing War God.
……
Longyan Auto Repair Shop.
In the office.
Lu Yan was still wearing his repair work clothes, with some sweat on his neck.
"Brother Lu, have some water."
Song Xiaohui walked in, her high heels clicking, holding a glass of water in both hands, placing it in front of Lu Yan.
After getting along for these days, Song Xiaohui had memorized some of Lu Yan's habits, for example, he basically only drank plain water.
"Help me investigate that car."
Lu Yan was indeed a little thirsty. He was quite satisfied with his assistant, Song Xiaohui. At least her work ability was second to none.
"Okay."
Song Xiaohui responded, without asking why. It wasn't something an assistant needed to be concerned about.
Even if Lu Yan didn't say it, Song Xiaohui could guess the reason.
No surprises, someone was going to cause trouble.
Song Xiaohui had to admit one thing, the other repairmen really didn't dare to touch those expensive luxury cars.
Lu Yan didn't blame them. It's human nature, and they were just starting out, so everyone was trying to be careful. They didn't want to give anyone with ill intentions an excuse to cause trouble.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
"You repaired the Aston Martin supercar, reward: 1 Bad Luck Card (Small)!"
A system prompt came.
"Bad Luck Card?"
Lu Yan couldn't help but smile. He found that the system was rewarding more and more interesting props.
To prank an enemy, a Bad Luck Card was obviously a good choice.
【Bad Luck Card (Small)】
【Effect: Makes the designated target's luck plummet to the extreme, even causing life-threatening danger, lasting for one day.】
……
"One day is enough."
Lu Yan wasn't greedy.
This was a Small Bad Luck Card. No surprises, there were Medium Bad Luck Cards and Large Bad Luck Cards.
Lu Yan was a little looking forward to it, but such props were rare.
"Brother Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll go out."
Seeing that Lu Yan was thinking about something, Song Xiaohui said softly.
"Mm."
Lu Yan came back to his senses and nodded. He then remembered something and quickly shouted, "By the way, Xiaohui, read more books on business management and learn a bit."
"Okay, Brother Lu!"
Song Xiaohui was startled at first, but quickly nodded and turned to leave, but she was quite happy in her heart.
This meant that Lu Yan intended to promote her.
Lu Yan didn't doubt Song Xiaohui's abilities, and since she could be even better, why not?
When Song Xiaohui had a relevant foundation, using a Compulsory Learning Card would be twice the result with half the effort.
This wasn't urgent for now.
"Who could it be?"
Lu Yan was thinking about something else.
The malfunction of that Aston Martin supercar was definitely intentional, even if it didn't seem like it.
This meant that someone had their sights on Longyan Auto Repair Shop.
Lu Yan guessed that it should be someone from the triads, after all, he was now taking food out of their mouths.
He had long anticipated this.
Or rather, it was intentional on Lu Yan's part.
He wanted to break the balance of the triads.
Once the industrial chain was established, Lu Yan would need a large number of workers, and the triad members were obviously a labor resource, how could he let the triads control them.
If there was money to be made, not many people would want to join the triads.
Confronting the triads was something he would inevitably have to do.
But for now, Lu Yan still needed to accumulate some power, like connections.
……
The entrance of Longyan Auto Repair Shop.
"Excuse me, miss, are you looking for someone?"
Song Xiaohui had just come out of the office and was about to investigate that Aston Martin incident when she saw a beautiful young woman walking in. She immediately greeted her with a gentle voice.
"I'm here to apply for a job."
Ruan Mei was quite surprised to see Song Xiaohui standing in front of her. She hadn't expected there to be such a beautiful woman already in the shop. Why would they need a beautiful receptionist?
"Applying for a job?"
Song Xiaohui was taken aback, but her face still held a smile as she said, "Were you recommended by someone?"
She didn't remember needing to hire anyone recently.
Everyone in the shop, except her, was from Kowloon Walled City.
Lu Yan hadn't told her anything about hiring someone.
As Lu Yan's assistant, she shouldn't be in the dark about this.
"Brother Lu introduced me."
Ruan Mei said.
"Brother Lu?"
Song Xiaohui immediately understood and said, "Follow me." She paused and said, "I'm Brother Lu's assistant, my last name is Song."
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Song."
Ruan Mei quickly followed.
