"Didn't expect you to be so profound, Shrimp Brother?" Su Hang laughed.
"Of course, a chef who can't write isn't a good leader," Cai Jiu Shrimp grinned, "When you have time, listen to my glorious stories from back then, and you'll be so impressed you'll fall to your knees."
Su Hang laughed for a while, "Could it be that the young miss of the Xue family wants to see me?"
Just as Cai Jiu Shrimp was about to speak, they had already arrived at their destination. He made a gesture for Su Hang to be quiet and stopped in front of a suite door, "Here, go in."
"Uh..."
Su Hang hesitated, about to push the door open, but then he heard a faint singing voice from inside.
"Left hand, right hand, a slow motion, right hand, left hand, slow motion replay..."
The voice was young, definitely a man.
"Knock!" Cai Jiu Shrimp glared and urged.
"Uh!" Su Hang laughed awkwardly, pulling his hand back, "Wait a bit, I'm afraid it's not convenient to go in now."
"What's not convenient?" Cai Jiu Shrimp asked.
"Didn't you hear? Left hand, right hand, a slow motion!" Su Hang said, forming a tube with his right hand and making a pumping motion.
"Damn!" Cai Jiu Shrimp was at a loss, "At a time like this, you're still making jokes. Who the hell jerks off and sings at the same time? Go in quickly, there's a big shot inside, don't keep him waiting."
Su Hang laughed and pushed the door open.

"Uh..."
When he pushed the door open, Su Hang saw a seductive back view. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a young man was striking poses and dancing awkwardly, singing with a poor sense of pitch, as if giving a personal concert to the entire city outside.
Seeing this scene, Su Hang was momentarily petrified.
"Uh..."
The young man also noticed someone had entered and was startled. He quickly stopped, almost twisting his waist, and turned around to see Su Hang staring at him straight. The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
"Who are you? Why didn't you knock before coming in?" After a few seconds of awkward eye contact, the young man finally spoke, his brows furrowed with anger.
Su Hang was taken aback. How could it be a kid? Did he enter the wrong room?
At this moment, Cai Jiu Shrimp poked his head in, grinning, "Young Master Xue, this is the person you wanted to see. His name is Su Hang, and his Buddhist name is Taotie!"
"Damn!" Su Hang spat inwardly. This guy even gave him a Buddhist name.
Hearing Cai Jiu Shrimp's words, the young man paused, his anger subsiding. He sized up Su Hang and waved at Cai Jiu Shrimp, "Leave in a smooth way!"
"Sure, sure, Young Master Xue, take your time." Cai Jiu Shrimp laughed and closed the door, quickly leaving.
Now, only Su Hang and the young man were left in the room, and the awkward atmosphere still hadn't dissipated.
The young man was sizing up Su Hang, and Su Hang was also sizing up the young man. He was about eighteen or nineteen, with a youthful face, roughly the same height as Su Hang, and somewhat handsome, but a bit cocky.
"You're Taotie?" The young man circled around Su Hang and spoke.
Su Hang nodded, "Didn't Shrimp Brother introduce me already?"
"Su what again?" The young man frowned.
"Su Hang!" Su Hang said.
"Uh-huh!" The young man nodded, "Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, a good name."
"My Hang is from 'One Piece'." Su Hang reminded him.
The young man listened and leaned in, pinching his chin in thought, "Whatever, let me think. From now on, you'll be called, uh, Da."
Su Hang's brows furrowed, "What do you mean?"
This guy's thinking was too erratic. Su Hang already considered him a typical middle school syndrome patient.
The young man laughed and patted Su Hang's shoulder, "Do you know who I am?"
Though he was smiling, his eyes were condescending, and his entire demeanor exuded a sense of arrogance that almost overwhelmed Su Hang's own aura.
Su Hang shook his head. To him, this was just a kid.
"Didn't that fat pig tell you?" The young man was surprised.
Su Hang didn't answer, just looking at the young man, waiting to see what he would do.
"Do you know the Xue family in the capital? I am Young Master Xue Qi of the Xue family!" The young man said proudly, "I just arrived in Rongcheng and need a lackey. I saw you just now, and you seem quite suitable. So, congratulations, from now on, you're my lackey."
"What?" Su Hang was completely bewildered.
Xue Qi glared, "I am known as the Little Demon King in the capital. How can I not have a lackey? What? Do you feel it's beneath you to be my lackey? Many people want to be my followers, but I don't even look at them. I saw you eating a lot just now, so you must have some skills. I love gathering talented people, and I've decided to take you as my lackey."
Su Hang was at a loss, "Hearing you say that, I feel quite honored."
"Of course." Xue Qi's lips curled into a playful smile, "I'll be staying in Rongcheng for half a month. If you serve me well during this time, I'll give you a reward when I leave."
"Uh..." Su Hang paused, patted Xue Qi's shoulder, and said seriously, "Kid, I think you should play by yourself. I'm busy and need to go back and study."
With that, Su Hang turned and left. This kid was already in the late stages of middle school syndrome, beyond saving!
How could someone recruit him as a lackey? Did he look that much like a lackey? Su Hang decided to look in the mirror when he got back. To encounter such a thing, the world was truly full of wonders.
"What did you say? Stop right there!"
Before he had taken two steps, Xue Qi shouted.
Su Hang stopped and turned around to see Xue Qi looking at him angrily.
"You actually dared to refuse me?" Xue Qi was furious. Not only did this guy refuse him, but he also called him a kid, which was completely outrageous.
The Xue family was a prominent family in the capital, and in the entire country, they were at the top. As the youngest of the third generation of the Xue family, Xue Qi had been pampered since childhood and had never experienced being refused. He couldn't tolerate being refused.
"What's wrong with that?" Su Hang shrugged and smiled calmly. It was necessary to teach this spoiled young master from a wealthy family what failure was.
"You..." Xue Qi was speechless, laughing in anger, "Ha, how dare you not listen to me? Aren't you afraid of me? Don't think I'll look at you differently because of this. Let me tell you, if you offend me, you won't have a place to stand, not just in this small Rongcheng, but in the entire country."
