Chapter 1: This is what they call life

  The young man sitting at the same table as Qin Yan surprisingly showed no fear on his face, and was even a bit cold. This scene went unnoticed by everyone, but fell into Qin Yan's eyes.

  It's clear that he can remain calm in this situation, this kid doesn't seem ordinary.

  "Call the police? Haha... Go ahead and call them for me?"

  Brother Tiger was full of arrogance, when he clearly saw Jiang Xiaoyan's appearance, a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes, and then he revealed a sly smile: "Little beauty, after dealing with this kid, brother will get intimate with you."

  "Are you done? If so, then get out, I want to eat." Qin Yan finally spoke up, and until now he still hadn't moved from his seat.

  "Little kid, dare to talk to us like that? Are you tired of living?" A thug behind Big Brother Tiger jumped out.

  "The boss is serving dishes." Qin Yan said calmly.

  "You..."

  Ma Zai was enraged, the other side directly treated him as air, in a fit of anger he crossed over Hu Ge, with a fierce face and pounced on Qin Yan with one punch.

  Whoosh!

  Before he could pounce, Qin Yan's right hand lifted, and the set of sterilized tableware in front of him was short of a plate. The plate turned into a white mark flying faster than lightning, Ma Zai couldn't dodge in time, and was hit on the face by the plate, which shattered into countless fragments scattered all over the ground.

  The whole process took less than a second. Ma Zi came quickly and fell even faster, letting out a miserable cry as he covered his face and collapsed to the ground, with fresh blood oozing out from between his fingers.

  "Anyone who dares to hurt me, come on!" Tiger Brother burst into a rage and rushed over with three other henchmen.

  "Ah!" Jiang Xiaoyu's face turned pale.

  "You all have a bloodbath."

  Qin Yan's light and casual voice floated in the air, he was still sitting on the chair, only holding a few chopsticks in his hand.

  Led by Tiger Brother, the four of them had just swung their fists when they felt a sharp pain in their fists. In the shocked gaze of everyone, the four of them let out a miserable cry and quickly retreated. It was only then that it was seen that on the hand with which the four of them had swung their fists, a chopstick had pierced through from the back of the hand to the palm, directly penetrating the entire palm.

  "Boss, aren't you serving dishes yet?"

  Qin Yan held a chopstick in his hand and tapped the table with it, not even looking at Tiger Brother: "Next time it's the eyes, not the hands."

  Brother Tiger never thought he would crash into an iron plate. The opponent didn't even leave his chair, and he injured five people on this side. If they continued to fight, it's not guaranteed that someone wouldn't be stabbed in the eye with chopsticks.

  He was in great pain, sweating all over, his left hand covering his right hand which had been pierced by a dagger and was bleeding profusely. He shouted loudly: "You little brat, wait for it, this isn't over yet! Let's go!"

  Suddenly!

  Just as Brother Hu was about to leave with his four henchmen, Qin Yan suddenly stood up and appeared in front of him at an astonishing speed.

  "What... what do you want?" Tiger Brother was startled, is this guy the legendary Flying Leg?

  "How foolish can a person be to do such a thing?"

  Bang!

  Pinched Tiger Brother's neck and pressed down, raised his knee and violently collided, Tiger Brother immediately let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, no longer caring about the small injury on his right hand, both hands covering his stomach and shrinking his whole body, as if he was a cooked shrimp. At the same time, Qin Yan had already returned to his seat.

  He took the tray from the waiter's hand, put a plate of tomato scrambled eggs on the table, picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of egg into his mouth: "When you're at a disadvantage, the wisest thing to do is shut your mouth. Of course, you can scold me like just now, but I can also continue to beat you."

  Brother Tiger took a while to catch his breath, his whole face was iron-green, and even his calf was trembling. At that moment when he was hit by the knee, he thought he wouldn't survive.

  Awesome!

  Extremely spicy!

  He almost got his internal organs smashed, this time he learned his lesson and didn't dare say another harsh word, glaring venomously at Qin Yan before turning around and leaving.

  "Brother Tiger... Brother Tiger..." The girl who caused the trouble was getting anxious.

  "Damn you! Bastard!"

  Brother Tiger raised his hand and slapped her, knocking the girl to the ground, then left the restaurant with four henchmen and disappeared in an instant.

  Qin Yan continued to eat eggs with tomato flavor, he liked eating eggs with tomato flavor but didn't like tomatoes: "Someone, you will definitely have a bloody disaster within a month."

  The girl was stunned by Hu Ge and when she heard Qin Yan say that, she glared at him with a mixture of anger and fear, covering her face and crying as she ran out.

  That's awesome!

  The students in the big row of stalls looked at Qin Yan with astonished eyes: no one expected that this disheveled and sloppy man would be so powerful, five thugs were knocked down by him without even using any effort.

  "Master, you're too powerful!" The handsome boy at the same table looked up in admiration.

  "You can do it too." Qin Yan said indifferently.

  "You..."

  Su Hao's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Qin Yan with a changed gaze, and he was shocked to find that he couldn't see through Qin Yan anymore.

  No, he had intended to lend a hand earlier, but in the end, he didn't make a move. How did this guy figure it out?

  "You just said Zhang Xinhui also has a blood calamity, could it be... you want to hit her?"

  Now Jiang Xiaoying knew that this guy wouldn't even bother to calculate someone's fate, when he said others would have a bloody disaster, eight out of ten times it was because he beat them until they bled.

  Although the conflict just now made her understand Qin Yan a bit more, such as his ability to fight and her inexplicable dislike for him decreased a bit, she still couldn't accept that a man with super strong combat power would hit a weak and frail girl, no matter how despicable that girl was.

  "I don't usually hit women."

  "So you..."

  "She hasn't reached menopause yet, how can she not have her period in a month?"

  Scoundrel!

  Damn it!

  The little good impression that had just been established was instantly destroyed by those words, and Jiang Xiaoyu made up her mind once again to stay far away from this guy in the future.

  Su Hao originally thought he had met a strange person, but later learned from Jiang Xiaoying that this guy didn't even know how to calculate fate and disasters.

  However, he knew that this trip was not in vain. Although the master's fortune-telling skills were fake, he felt more mystery from Qin Yan's body.

  This person is not simple at all!

  He wouldn't let go of the opportunity to get close, eating and chatting while asking this and that. However, Jiang Xiaoyan didn't say much. As a result, Su Hao was disappointed again, he couldn't get any useful information from Qin Yan's mouth, only knowing that he had just arrived in Pingjiang yesterday and was the new boss of Lavender Bar.

  Although he didn't dig up much of what he wanted to know, from the information he already knew, he instead felt Qin Yan's depth and secrecy even more.

  To know, that thyme bar built opposite the Su Ying Academy, due to its excellent geographical location, has always been booming. Such a profitable bar, unless the boss is out of his mind, would not be transferred. And Qin Yan just arrived in Pingjiang yesterday and took over the bar, shouldn't there be some inside story?

  "What's your dream?" Qin Yan suddenly popped out a sentence as he was about to finish eating.

  "As a singer, hold concerts in Asia, even around the world." Talking about her ideals, Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't hide her excitement.

  "For fame? Or fortune?"

  "Is it just for fame and fortune?" Jiang Xiaoying said discontentedly.

  "Don't tell me you're just doing it for fun and interest."

  "Why can't I?"

  "Innocent."

  Qin Yan's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and he sneered: "The premise for having hobbies and interests is that you have enough capital to sustain them. When you have to worry about your next meal, and you don't even know where your next meal is coming from, what qualifications do you have to talk about hobbies? In this world, the vast majority of people have ideals, but similarly, the vast majority of people can't achieve their ideals in their lifetime."

  These words sound very realistic and cruel, but they make people unable to refute. Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then said: "No matter what, I will go all out to do it, even if I finally can't achieve it, at least I tried."

  "Immature."

  "I know it sounds naive, with over a thousand people graduating from Su Ying every year, only a tiny fraction can really enter the entertainment industry, and even fewer can make a name for themselves. But everyone has only one greatest dream in their lifetime, if they don't strive for it, they will definitely regret it when they're old. I may not be able to guarantee how far I'll go, but at least I won't regret not fighting for my dreams when I'm old."

  Jiang Xiaoying's eyes shone brightly, her expression firm and resolute. As she spoke these words, it was as if she were a warrior ready to rush into battle at any moment, prepared to fight to the death.

  Fight with one's back to the river, no retreat!

  Qin Yan seemed a bit distracted as he stared at her, and she felt her face flush. She quickly changed the subject: "And you? What's your ideal?"

  "In a place where beauties are as common as clouds, open a small bar, and you can see beauties all day long, soaking in the wine vat all day." Qin Yan said with a smile.

  "The master is really awesome, even his ideals are so cool!" Su Hao flattered.

  "Is this your ideal?" Jiang Xiaoying said with some discontent.

  Yes.

  "You're lying!"

  "I'm full."

  Qin Yan glanced at her and casually threw 200 yuan on the table, but in his heart he was muttering to himself: "Damn! I'm a greedy wolf, how did this little girl see through my lies? She must have guessed it... Hmm, actually this is my ideal anyway. It's just that I want to see more beautiful women than now, drink better-tasting wine than now, and open a bigger bar than now. What's the difference?"

  Greedy wolf, treacherous and cunning villain.

  Clever and resourceful, with many talents and skills, yet greedy by nature. The first star of the Peach Blossom and the seventh star of the Purple Mansion, governing calamity and fortune, desire... Can such a person be easily satisfied?

  What a pity...

  Is today's Greedy Wolf still the same as yesterday's?

  Back at the bar, Qin Yan sat on a recliner, narrowing his eyes to stare at the big white legs coming and going on the road, but in his heart, he was still echoing Jiang Xiaoyan's generous and passionate words.

  Before they knew it, the whole afternoon had passed and night was falling. Several men and women wearing bar uniforms looked at the guy lying on the recliner at the entrance of the bar in surprise: What's going on... when did the boss change people?
