C23 Tai Dou's Successor
It could be said that everyone present had seen Su Shiyi before. However, they had only seen him once. Furthermore, Elder Su's attitude towards them was very casual. He would let them leave after asking two questions, and no one would be able to see him again.
No one would have thought that they would be able to see this Tai Dou walking out of his narrow room today. Moreover, he seemed to like Qin Chao very much. This was simply shocking to the point that everyone's jaws dropped to the ground.
Tan Feng was the first to react. He bowed respectfully to Su Shiyi. "Hello, Elder Su."
"Yes."
Su Shiyi nodded. He didn't even look at Tan Feng. He just stared at Qin Chao, who was standing in front of him. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
It was rare to see this Tai Dou here. Everyone had the urge to cling onto him.
A middle-aged man named Gong Tao had a flattering expression on his face. He quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Elder Su, Qingzhou has not been peaceful recently. How have you been? Is there anything wrong with your heart? "
"If there is, as long as you tell me, I will definitely go through fire and water to help you solve your problems!"
Hearing Gong Tao's words, some people in the crowd immediately regretted not taking the initiative to curry favor with Su Shiyi. To be able to own such a private city square in Qingzhou, this was enough to show how powerful the power behind him was. Once he obtained his recognition, this undoubtedly meant that he had a trump card in Qingzhou.
However, there were only a few people who wanted to please Su Shiyi. Most of them knew that it was impossible for someone like Su Shiyi to win his favor by trying to please him.
Gong Tao's actions would not only not make Su Shiyi admire him, but would only make him even more annoyed.
Sure enough, Su Shiyi shot a glance at Gong Tao. His words did not carry a trace of warmth. "What is it? Do you mean that this old man is living too comfortably in Qingzhou? Are you trying to find some trouble for me?"
Gong Tao quickly explained, "No! That's not what I meant! I -"
Enough! You can leave now! You don't have to come here from now on!"
Su Shiyi kicked Gong Tao out of the place with a simple sentence and deprived him of the right to gamble here from now on.
Gong Tao's expression turned as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He turned around angrily and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Qin Chao standing at the side from the corner of his eye, and his heart was instantly filled with anger.
"Elder Su, you want to chase me away, the Third Young Master of the Gong Family, but you want to befriend this abandoned son of the Qin family?!"
"I think you're old, Elder Su. You don't even think about the matter properly!"
Gong Tao was really brainless. He dared to contradict him in such a situation. However, his words had indeed asked the doubts of everyone present.
Su Shiyi glanced at Gong Tao indifferently. "The Third Young Master of the Gong Family? Who does he think he is?"
"What does he, Qin Chao, think he is?" Gong Tao was excited.
"He is just an abandoned son who was kicked out of the Qin family."
"What part of him is stronger than me?!"
"In terms of family, his family doesn't want him anymore! In terms of financial resources, He is now a pauper! In terms of power, he is a commoner!"
"And you want to keep him and chase me away? On what basis?! "
Hearing Gong Tao's complaints, Qin Chao touched the tip of his nose. These words almost made him feel wronged.
In the eyes of the current people, he was nothing.
Qin Chao did not want to defend himself. He was too lazy to argue with such an ant.
However, Tan Feng could not stand it anymore. He stepped forward. "He is stronger than you in a fight!"
... ""
Qin Chao raised his eyebrows and looked at Tan Feng.
A fight?!
Alright, now he had shown that he was only good at fighting.
After Su Shiyi heard what Tan Feng said, his old face showed a hint of mockery. He looked at Qin Chao and nodded. "Not bad, not bad. This little rascal is really good at fighting. Hahaha!"
After Su Shiyi said that, Tan Feng felt a little embarrassed. He unconsciously rubbed the fingers of his right hand. He looked like a young man who had just reached adulthood and was very shy. He was not as fierce as he was in the business world.
Su Shiyi walked forward and patted Tan Feng's shoulder. He said gently, "You have good talent in gambling stones. Come to my room later. I will give you a book. Take it back and study it."
Su Shiyi's words made Tan Feng feel flattered. He looked at Qin Chao, not knowing what to do. Qin Chao smiled at him.
He turned to look at Fann Yu again. Fann Yu's eyes were full of encouragement.
After confirming that he was not hallucinating, Tan Feng quickly bowed to Su Shiyi. "Thank you, Elder Su! "I will study the books you lent to me when I get back."
"It's not a loan. It's a gift." Su Shiyi looked at Tan Feng with kindness in his eyes. "I gave you the books," he said. "You don't have to pay me back."
"I am old. I have to hand over some things."
"I have been running this private gambling workshop for decades. I thought you were the best candidate to be my successor."
"I wonder if you are willing?"
If there were a lot of shocking things happening in this gambling workshop today, especially the matter of Su Shiyi acknowledging Tan Feng as his successor, it could definitely be considered the most explosive news today!
If the news of a grandmaster choosing a successor were to spread, it would probably shake the entire Qingzhou!
Gong Tao had wanted to curry favor with Su Shiyi just now, but not only did Su Shiyi not appreciate it, he even chased him out.
Even so, Gong Tao did not dare to act rashly. This also meant that the power of this private gambling workshop was not as simple as it looked on the surface.
Today, Tan Feng was the young master of Tan family. With the addition of this private gambling den, the strength of the Tan family could not be mentioned in the same breath!
For a moment, everyone looked at Tan Feng with jealousy and fear in their eyes.
Many people had already secretly informed their families of this news. They were even considering how to establish a friendly relationship with the Tan family.
On the other hand, those who were hostile to the Tan family and were in a competitive relationship immediately felt powerless. Some of them had even considered whether they should lower their status and take the initiative to seek peace with the Tan family.
"Come with me." Su Shiyi looked at Tan Feng with a smile. He turned around and walked towards his room.
After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and stared at Qin Chao. "Why are you still standing there?" he asked. "Why aren't you coming with me?"
Qin Chao did not think much of it and leisurely followed.
When the three of them entered the room, the door closed, and the quiet room became noisy again.
"I thought Elder Su liked Qin Chao, but I didn't expect him to like the young master of Tan family more!"
"What are you thinking? How can he like the young master of Tan family more? Elder Su clearly thought highly of Qin Chao because of the young master of the Tan family!"
"What does Fann Yu think? He has a deeper relationship with the young master of Tan family!"
"How would I know? Perhaps this is fate. Sometimes, the relationship between people is so strange. " Someone is clearly the one who came later, but he is closer than the person who got to know him first. "
"In that case, the illegitimate son of the Fann family is really pitiful..."
Qin Chao followed Tan Feng into Su Shiyi's room. Everyone was discussing among themselves. Even though they had lowered their voices, Fann Yu still heard their conversation.
Their words were like a needle that pierced deep into his heart.
