Elder brother's garrison

"Hahaha, brother, you have a great capacity for alcohol!"

"..."

The moment the couple slightly opened the shop door, a deafening roar of men's engines erupted from inside, as if a bomb had exploded.

The young couple standing at the shop entrance were stunned by the sudden sound, their minds reeling. They stood there dumbfounded, mouths agape, staring at the scene inside the barbecue restaurant.

The barbecue restaurant was filled with tall men in black suits, each holding a large wine glass, their faces contorted like demons. The presence of these men filled the air with a strange atmosphere of struggle.

"Today, there can only be one outcome between us: either I get you drunk, or you get me drunk!"

"Hahaha, this beer's not strong enough, give me some baijiu!"

"Anyone who drinks anything below 98 proof today is disrespecting me!"

"...Oh? We have new guests?"

Just then, the muscular men in suits inside the store noticed the young couple at the door.

A muscular man in a suit, over two meters tall, walked over and looked down at the young couple.

When the muscular man in the suit walked to the door, his massive body completely blocked the entrance. In order to speak to the person in front of him, he had to slowly lower his upper body and stick his head out.

"Hey, not bad, you're a couple too. You're here to eat too? Hahaha, want to come in and have a couple of drinks?" The muscular man in the suit showed the couple his large face and the deep-set knife handle on his face. He grinned, revealing his white teeth, each one clearly visible and gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

The couple trembled with fear at the sight of the muscular men.

"We're not hungry!!"

"Thank you so much!! We have other things to attend to, goodbye!!"

Couples didn't even dare to say a word in front of the man; they would cry and run away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The muscular man in the suit touched his smooth forehead, looking in the direction the couple had gone, with a puzzled expression.

"Hiss... What a weirdo. Why would he go into a barbecue restaurant if he wasn't hungry?"

"How many groups of guests have we had today?"

The muscular man in the suit pulled the shop door shut behind him and went back inside.

The store is still thriving.

The manager, a group of men in suits, stood in the center of the store, raising his beer mug and shouting celebratory messages to the dozens of people seated around him.

"Thank you for your hard work today!"

"The manager has worked hard too!!!"

"We owe our victory today to Sister Wei!"

"Sister Wei is awesome!!!"

"And our opponents too! Thank you so much!!"

"grateful!!!"

"Everyone, drink less alcohol and eat more meat! Don't just think about yourselves, order a couple more plates of high-quality barbecue for the ladies around you! I'll drink this glass first!" The manager shouted the last sentence, then tilted his head back and downed the draft beer in one gulp.

The men also raised their glasses and started chugging their drinks straight from the bottle.

"Manager, I'll do it too!"

"I'll follow too!"

"Continued Cup!"

"..."

The air was filled with the sizzling aroma of roasted meat.

At the table next to the men, the female bodyguards, who had suffered a defeat, sat together, silently grilling meat while listening to the men's celebratory sounds, each with a helpless expression on their face.

After greeting the staff, the man in the suit carried his empty wine glass to the table at the back of the barbecue restaurant.

At the very back table, there were only two people.

There wasn't a single bottle of wine on the table, and the grill was piled high with sizzling slices of meat.

"Veneto, this barbecue is so delicious!" Little White picked up a piece of barbecue, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then said to Veneto as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Hmm, this one is good too." Veneto kept turning the meat in the baking pan with her chopsticks, picking up the golden and crispy slices of meat one by one and putting them into Xiaobai's bowl. Then she smiled and watched Xiaobai eat them.

"Veneto, stop putting food on my plate, you should eat some too."

"Hmm." Veneto nodded, but the process of putting meat on Xiaobai's plate did not slow down at all.

The man in the suit looked at Xiaobai and Veneto, then glanced back at the room full of men, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

"Sister Vito, are you satisfied with your meal?" The man in the suit carefully stopped in front of the table and asked Veneto.

"Hmm, this restaurant is good." Veneto nodded to the man in the suit while holding her chopsticks. She finally stopped serving meat to Xiaobai, gestured with her eyes to the chair not far away, and said calmly, "Manager, please have a seat."

"Sister Wei, didn't we agree that you can just call me Xiao Chen when there are no employees around?" The man in the suit smiled obediently and sat down in his seat.

Chapter 2488 A Way Out

"Sister Wei, would you like a drink?" The man in the suit raised his glass. "I'd like to offer you a toast."

“Let’s skip it today.” Veneto glanced at Little White, who was happily munching on his grilled meat, and shook his head at the man in the suit. “We’ll just have some water.”

"Then, then let me offer you some water!" The man in the suit stood up, nervously unscrewed the mineral water bottle, bent down and poured a glass of water into Veneto's glass. "This glass is to thank you, Sister Veneto, for coming and saving our company from dire straits."

“No need to be so polite. I was just passing by and thought I’d lend a hand.” Veneto took a sip of his water and said to the man in the suit, “I used to work for your company, so let’s just consider it a favor.”

"Uh, right, right..." The man in the suit scratched his head, looking like he was humbly accepting instruction, "We are really grateful for your help today, Sister Wei, about that... about the contract renewal..."

“I’m no longer in this line of work,” Veneto shook his head. “Renewing your contracts today is just a formality to appease your challengers.”

"Ah...I see..." The man in the suit's face immediately filled with disappointment. "So, Sister Wei, what kind of work are you doing now?"

"Hmm... taking care of the child?" Veneto thought for a moment.

"Huh?" The man in the suit was taken aback. "You have a child?"

“Yes, two.” Veneto nodded.

"Two, two?!" The man in the suit stared in shock at Veneto's petite figure, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards her stomach. "When, when did this happen?"

“About a year ago,” Veneto replied, “just a few months after I left Cloud City.”

"So...so fast..."

“Yes, I never thought I’d have any. Who knew it would happen in just one morning, and there are two of them.” Veneto looked up, his eyes filled with nostalgia as he gazed out the window. “Sigh… I didn’t realize it before I had them, but now that I have them, I’ve discovered how much effort it really takes.”

The man in the suit looked at Veneto's maternal expression and was speechless for a moment.

The man in the suit scratched his head, turned to the side, took out his wallet, fiddled with it under the table, and then pulled out two thick red envelopes.

"Sister Wei, I'm sorry I couldn't do it right away..." The man in the suit handed over the red envelope with both hands, "Well... because things happened so suddenly, this is all the cash I have on me right now, so I can only give you two of these red envelopes."

"What for?" Veneto looked at the red envelope the man in the suit was offering with a puzzled expression.

"It's our local custom."

“I see, thank you for your thoughtfulness.” Veneto nodded to the man in the suit, a smile on his face.

The man in the suit put down the red envelope, sat back in his seat, thought for a while, then sighed with a wry smile.

"Sigh... No wonder. I was wondering why Sister Wei retired at the peak of her career. It turns out she had her own family." The man in the suit muttered to himself with great regret. "Back then, I tried to persuade Sister Wei to stay and said a lot of persuasive things to you. Now that I think about it, I still didn't understand you well enough."

Veneto listened to the man's words in silence.

“Sigh, Sister Vito, the reason our company was able to gain a foothold in Yuncheng and even reach the top position in the industry is all thanks to your support in the past few years.” The man in the suit said gratefully to Vito. “We made our living under your protection all those years. Everyone in our company is grateful to you as if you were our life goal. Although you have left us now, we still hope that you can find your own happiness.”

"You said this challenge is a test from the industry for you?" Veneto asked.

“Yes.” The man in the suit shook his head regretfully. “Sister Wei, you are, after all, a pillar of our company. Once you leave, the industry will start to question our strength. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

“Hmm.” Veneto nodded. “There will probably be many more tests like this in the future.”

"That can't be helped. After all, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind..."

The man in the suit was speaking.

Suddenly, a satisfied voice rang out beside Veneto and the man in the suit.

"Ah...it's so delicious!"

The man in the suit turned his head to the side with Veneto.

Xiao Bai leaned back with a satisfied look on her face. She had finished all the roast meat that Veneto had given her, and the bowl in her hand was now empty.

"Miss, let me order you a few more plates of barbecue!" The man in the suit quickly grabbed the menu and was about to order.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Xiaobai interrupted the man in the suit with a smile. "Thank you, the barbecue here is delicious."

"Uh...yes." The man in the suit held the menu and smiled awkwardly. "It's alright, the owner of this restaurant is a friend of mine. Please order whatever you like."

Xiao Bai picked up a piece of paper, wiped the grease from his mouth, and then smiled at the man in the suit.

Xiaobai put down the paper.

"Let's talk about the barbecue later," Xiaobai said with a smile to the man in the suit. "I should get back to work now."

"Huh?" The man in the suit looked at Xiaobai.

"Excuse me, which table was the general manager in the black shirt at?"

……

A corner of a barbecue restaurant.

On a lonely table, there were empty beer bottles.

Plates of raw roasted meat were piled up in the corner of the table, the clean grill pans glowing red-hot.

The man in the black shirt sat dejectedly in the chair, gulping down his beer. Hearing the cheers of the men around him, his face grew even more bitter.

At this moment, the man in the black shirt deeply felt a sorrow that he could not share the joys and sorrows of the world.

"Ugh……"

The man in the black shirt shook his head and slumped onto the table.

Just then, a figure slowly lifted the curtain and entered the room where the man in the black shirt was.

Hearing footsteps, the man in the black shirt looked up, his eyes filled with confusion as he glanced at the door. When he saw who it was, his gaze froze for a moment before being replaced by endless desolation.

The figure that entered the room was the black-haired girl who had recorded him earlier.

In a sense, whether it was bringing Sister Wei to the company or leaving behind a serious film for herself, she was the one who ruined her own challenge plan.

The black-haired girl stood at the doorway, her bright black eyes looking this way, a faint smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?" The man in the black shirt lowered his head, muttering in frustration, "Are you worried I might do something to you? Don't worry, you're Sister Wei's family member. If I want to live, there's no way I'd do anything to you."

"..." The black-haired girl didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

"Heh." The man in the black shirt grinned and took a few more bitter gulps of beer. "I get it. You like to see me like this, like a stray dog. Well then, go ahead and watch. I'm not charging you."

"..." A smile appeared on the black-haired girl's face. She slowly walked up to the man in the black shirt and bent down.

"I've already lost, utterly lost, haha." Fueled by alcohol, the man in the black shirt muttered nonchalantly to himself, "My company, my employees, haha... my reputation, all gone, completely gone... Especially when I get back to the industry, if they find out this plan failed because I opened that bottle of champagne halfway through, I'll probably be..."

The man in the black shirt was saying this.

Suddenly, a cell phone screen moved in front of him.

The screen was playing a video of a man in a black shirt.

The man in the black shirt frowned and looked up at the black-haired girl.

"What are you doing? Kicking a dog when it's down, or do you think I'm not miserable enough already..."

The man in the black shirt was speaking when he suddenly froze.

The black-haired girl in front of him smiled as she looked at him. She pulled her phone back, pointed the screen at the man in the black shirt, and then deleted the video from her phone.

"Ah, I deleted the evidence." The black-haired girl smiled, pursing her lips.

"Uh...you, what are you doing..." The man in the black shirt stood there, holding the empty wine bottle, completely bewildered as to what the black-haired girl in front of him was going to do.

"Your company must have been sent by the industry to target this area, right?" The black-haired girl placed her phone on the table and asked the man in the black shirt.

"...What's wrong?" The man in the black shirt was silent for a moment, then frowned.

"You just said it yourself, if this challenge fails, your company will probably be ostracized by the industry, right?" The black-haired girl said, pointing behind her. "Hmm... probably like how you ostracized Yuncheng First Security Protection Co., Ltd. before?"
