Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 455: Like an Obedient Child

Iron Head had trained with Qiao Jun for two years before working with Boss Peng. Upon seeing Qiao Jun, he respectfully called out, "Master Qiao, you’re here for a drink too? If you’d told me earlier, I would’ve held a spot for you."

Seeing Iron Head, Qiao Jun’s face flickered with a cold smile, "Iron Head, so you’re here. Why aren’t you at my place practicing boxing? Training is like fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, you have no ambition. Don’t ever tell outsiders you’re my student."

Iron Head awkwardly nodded in agreement, and instructed the waiter, "Whatever expenses Master Qiao incurs today, put it on my tab. Don’t charge him a penny, got it?"

Seeing Iron Head pick up the bill for him, Qiao Jun’s expression eased considerably. He asked the waiter for a few bottles of beer and said to Iron Head standing next to him, "There’s nothing for you here, you can go now."

Iron Head intended to leave, but seeing Shan Mingzhi looking at him, his face turned red. He bit his teeth and insisted, "Master Qiao, this table is already booked by someone else. You’d better move to that table at the back; no one has booked it."

Coach Big Beard disdainfully said to Qiao Jun, "Your student is telling you to go to another table, saying this one is reserved for guests. It seems guests are more important than you."

Big Shrimp added with a laugh, "Master Qiao, this is your student’s territory. They have more people, and they look strong. When he speaks, we have to listen, eh?"

Qiao Jun’s face immediately changed dramatically. He slammed the table and stood up, "Iron Head, give you an inch and you take a mile, huh? Have you forgotten how you begged me to teach you kung fu a few years ago? Are you disrespecting me now? Are your guests more important than your master?"

Iron Head looked conflicted and was about to explain further when he heard Xu Xiangbei laughing behind him, "Yo, isn’t this Coach Big Beard and Big Shrimp? Big Shrimp, did you get your teeth firmly fixed? Want me to check for you?"

Qiao Jun had never seen Xu Xiangbei before. As Xu Xiangbei came over with a cheeky grin, Qiao Jun glared at him disdainfully.

But Coach Big Beard and Big Shrimp, having suffered losses to Xu Xiangbei before, turned pale at the sight of him. They both stood up immediately as if pricked by a needle.

Big Shrimp covered his mouth with his newly-capped three porcelain teeth, still not quite used to eating with them.

Iron Head helplessly introduced to Xu Xiangbei, "This is Coach Qiao from the sports school sanda team. I used to be on the team for two years, and he’s my master."

Iron Head knew Xu Xiangbei’s temper; a disagreement would definitely lead to a fight. Master Qiao and the others were no match for Xu Xiangbei. His unspoken intention was to ask Xu Xiangbei to show mercy and not cause conflict, even though he only stayed on the sanda team for two years, Coach Qiao was still considered his master.

Xu Xiangbei smiled, "Since he’s Master Qiao and knows Iron Head, we shouldn’t be too domineering. Shan Mingzhi, let’s sit in the second row. We’ll give the good seats in the front row to Master Qiao."

Xu Xiangbei was already giving Coach Qiao a lot of face, taking the initiative to sit with Shan Mingzhi and Monica in the second row.

However, Qiao Jun didn’t appreciate it. He glared at Xu Xiangbei defiantly, "Kid, what do you mean by that? Are you saying we’re being domineering? And if we are, what’s it to you?"

The hall instantly fell silent, and the air became exceptionally tense, filled with a dense atmosphere of gunpowder.

Iron Head smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that Master Qiao was being too domineering, leaving him with no options.

Coach Big Beard and Big Shrimp wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. They knew the seats were reserved by Xu Xiangbei, and they wouldn’t dare occupy them even at gunpoint.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei, they already wanted to persuade Coach Qiao to leave. They hadn’t expected Xu Xiangbei to offer up the front row seats, nor did they expect Qiao Jun to keep provoking Xu Xiangbei.

They feared Xu Xiangbei losing his temper and acting out, so they quickly nodded and bowed to Xu Xiangbei, "Thank you, Dr. Xu. Thank you."

Qiao Jun looked at Coach Big Beard and Big Shrimp in surprise. Not to mention at the KTV, even at the sports school they were usually arrogant, and here they were acting submissive to someone over a seat. It was like the sun had risen in the west.

Xu Xiangbei smiled as he approached, while Coach Big Beard wanted to be as far away from him as possible. But running away in front of everyone was humiliating, so he forced himself to stand firm, hoping that no one would hit a smiling face. The muscles on his face twitched as he smiled.

The memory of being picked up like a shrimp by Xu Xiangbei and thrown onto a Chevrolet was still fresh in Big Shrimp’s mind. A chill ran down his spine; he wanted to flee, but his legs felt as if they were filled with lead and couldn’t move.

He paled and spoke with a quivering voice, "Dr. Xu, I didn’t know this was your reserved seat..."

Xu Xiangbei smiled, "What are you saying? It’s just a seat. Since I’ve given it to you, take it."

Big Shrimp’s eyes rolled thoughtfully, "Coach, I drank too much. I need to go to the restroom."

"I need to go to the restroom too, let’s go together."

The two of them slinked off to the restroom, leaving only Qiao Jun behind.

Qiao Jun didn’t understand what Coach Big Beard and Big Shrimp were up to. They seemed obviously afraid of Xu Xiangbei, but he was just an unassuming young man. What was there to fear?

He stood up from the chair, coldly looking at Xu Xiangbei, "Kid, are you dissatisfied...?"

Despite tolerating repeatedly, the other party kept provoking, and Xu Xiangbei’s finger was already sharpened like a needle. It seemed without teaching Qiao Jun a lesson, he wouldn’t understand Xu Xiangbei’s prowess.

Iron Head felt a chill emanating from Xu Xiangbei, realizing Xu Xiangbei was about to act. He was frightened and his face changed, wanting to pull Master Qiao away.

Suddenly, a gentle voice cut through, "Everyone, please sit down. The performance is about to begin."

A girl in a black performance outfit, her hair in a ponytail, eyes bright as crystals, walked over. Her performance outfit was a three-piece set, covering only the key parts, with the rest draped in a layer of transparent black gauze.

Under the stage lights, her enchanting and alluring body was hazy and indistinct, casting an extra layer of mysterious beauty.

She sensed the tension in the air, and smiled warmly at Qiao Jun, "Why not sit down quietly and watch the show? It’s about to start."

Strangely, as he looked into the girl’s pure and bright eyes, the mix of alcohol-induced anger and frustration within Qiao Jun seemed to disperse like mist in a gentle breeze. All his displeasure and hostility vanished.

He sat down gently, like an obedient child, quietly drinking beer and watching the stage as if nothing had happened.

Since Qiao Jun no longer challenged him, Xu Xiangbei decided not to bother further and returned to his seat in the second row.
