Chapter 475: Chapter 475

Actually, according to Wei Haoyu’s usual routine, it’s only six in the evening, and he hasn’t even gotten out of bed yet.

After all, he’s got a busy schedule!

Every night, he hospitably shelters homeless girls, surrounded by beautiful ladies—doesn’t he have to take good care of them? With all that fuss, dawn just sneaks up on you.

When the whole "awake at 4 a.m." thing first started trending, Wei Haoyu was dismissive.

Like it’s something no one else has experienced. I’ve always been busy till after four in the morning, only resting after having a smoke on the balcony!

What’s the essence of indulging in life’s pleasures? Apart from money, you need a good body.

So Wei Haoyu summed up his own "wellness" method with what little knowledge he possesses—sleep for at least twelve hours a day, and even if it’s not deep sleep, at least lie there in a haze for that long.

Of course, most of the time it’s not that he doesn’t want to get up earlier, but rather that he lacks the willpower. Lying in bed for an extra hour or two just feels much better, so he thought what he lacked in his youthful vigor was just a bit of rest.

Thus, he formed a habit—getting up after nine in the evening, finding a girl, partying until one or two in the morning, and when his energy fails him, he relies on a little blue pill and some tech support to party even harder, feeling absolutely fabulous under the influence of alcohol and drugs!

Wei Haoyu always thought he could live carefree and merrily until the day he died, until one day, his cousin Chuci, who had a strange aversion to such lifestyles, handed him a stick of magical Medicinal Incense, opening a whole new world to him.

He used to think that blue and orange pills were the ultimate enjoyment.

So no matter how much Chuci praised it, he didn’t pay attention. But the night when he skipped his usual pills and lit the Medicinal Incense instead, the fragrance swirling around the bedroom while in a lucid state, the genuine high compared to the drug-induced one was heaven and earth apart.

Oh no, even the earth is not enough; you’d have to dig a pit at the lowest point and squat in there!

With the fragrance’s support, the usual professionally formulaic services of the girls felt different, with natural bold creativity, and the experience was maxed out!

The most crucial thing was that he didn’t even need a smoke afterward to relieve fatigue; after venting all the pressure, Wei Haoyu fell into a sound sleep and woke up the next morning with a head that felt brand new!

He wasn’t tired, weary, or drowsy; he’d even gained an appetite.

After eating, it was still only around ten in the morning, and he felt utterly refreshed, as if his whole body had been ironed smooth!

He eagerly sought more Medicinal Incense through his cousin after failing to find it elsewhere, finally securing a batch after using it for a week straight—his sleep improved, his appetite increased, and he felt more invigorated. Even digging cellars at night felt more effortless!

In just half a month, Wei Haoyu’s chronically overindulgent complexion looked much healthier, and hence, he began treating the Medicinal Incense as a deity. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

This morning, upon receiving a call from his cousin saying that the great creator of the magical incense would be doing a live performance at Chen Likai’s bar, he was absolutely dumbfounded.

So capable and so talented, yet still needed to perform live? It turns out, truly skilled individuals may indeed harbor some eccentricities.

But upon second thought, Wei Haoyu was cheered up, as the bar street was his main turf! Helping the grand creator hold the fort was a chance to prove his capabilities, and by possibly getting on good terms with the creator, more Medicinal Incense would be well within his grasp!

He was making a tidy sum by selling the incense to those in the clubbing scene, as the creator was nothing short of his savior and God of Wealth!

To show his importance and also to flaunt a bit, Wei Haoyu had already contacted some of the notable figures in the scene to come and support. The Blue Diamond Bar’s parking lot was lined with luxury cars, attracting many individuals looking for a chance to mingle with the wealthy.

"Old Four, get those filthy flies at the door driven away!" Chen Likai was feeling a bit heated at this point.

This morning he just reached an agreement with Chuci to invite the future star to perform live, at a rate of a hundred thousand per song, with the song choice and number of performances entirely at the singer’s discretion.

To ride this wave of popularity, he specifically invited a few pretty streamers to host a live broadcast at the bar, planning to assess the turnout and perhaps buy some traffic if necessary, striving to make the Blue Diamond Bar and the live-performing singer Jiang Yuan an instant sensation!

But the bar officially opened for business at half-past seven in the evening, and by six, while they were busy preparing, the live-performing singer was yet to get makeup done and finalize the performance attire, a whole bunch of people from the scene had already begun arriving one after another!

It’s not that they weren’t welcome; after all, the power dynamics in this area were complex. Most of them had to respectfully call him "Brother Chen," and many were more or less his own men, people he could count on in normal times.

The problem is, being too conspicuous could easily attract unwanted attention!

Letting youth cliques slide, but the mix in the crowd are, were essentially the old-school gangster types, often straddling the legal line.

A group of three to five hanging out drinking and clubbing wasn’t an issue, nor was it with ten or eight individuals, but virtually the entire crew showing up... damn, it’s bound to catch Lei Zi’s attention, creating unnecessary trouble out of nowhere!

Wei Haoyu’s inadvertent move unexpectedly complicated a straightforward plan, leaving Chen Likai baffled and unable to discern if someone was intentionally trying to stir up trouble amidst the chaos?!

"Mr. Chen, Big Saber is here too. Would you like to check it out?" The bar manager hurried in, hesitating, "Should we hold off on the basement activities tonight? Something doesn’t seem quite right to me."

"Stop! Stop! Hold everything! Have Old Liu closely monitor the surveillance, and let me know immediately if anything happens!" He angrily slapped the table. "The ’basement’ refers to the underground arena accessible via the basement, Blue Diamond Bar’s raison d’être and the main money-spinner.

Damn, how much would be lost by stopping for a day?

But there’s no way to keep it going; with so many ticking time bombs suddenly appearing at Blue Diamond, Lei Zi would surely be certain this is a gangster convention, putting the place under tight surveillance.

Especially with Big Saber just arriving, that guy was notoriously ruthless and a major player previously. After getting carried away when drunk and almost causing someone’s death, he spent two years behind bars before getting out just last month!

The Lei Zi overseeing the bar street are all seasoned. Noticing that guy making rounds again, they’ll definitely be extra vigilant and look to capitalize on the situation.

A couple of months ago, they conducted a surprise inspection under the pretense of a fire check, finding no dirt all thanks to the powerful backing from the boss, but this only highlights the grim situation behind the scenes, pointing out the inevitability of being thrown under the bus unless they can decisively crush their opponent.

The boss is not about to give up the golden goose easily either, tangled in too deep with interests at stake, making it impossible for him to escape.

This predicament led Chen Likai to rack his brains, striving to strengthen his chances, hence the idea of having Jiang Yuan perform at the bar. These days, one cannot underestimate online leverage—if he could somehow ride on the Chu Family’s momentum and harness Jiang Yuan’s influence, the boss could leverage this to turn Blue Diamond into a social media sensation.

Once linked to tourism and economic development, he’s got an extra layer of protection.

"Invite Big Saber for a drink and figure out what he’s really up to," Chen Likai had to leave to welcome Jiang Yuan and the young elite brought by Chuci so he instructed, "If he’s just looking for some cash to spend, give it to him.

If there’s nothing else, pack a couple of bottles as a gesture and send him off. Tonight, no one’s to be offended—treat everyone cordially, even troublemakers should be shown the door with a smile; we’ll deal with the accounts later!"

The live streamers are all in position; the rising star, Jiang Yuan, has arrived. Chen Likai took a deep breath, determined to seize the opportunity to make Blue Diamond a sensation!

Ideally, with all kinds of support, he could turn the entire street into a famous check-in spot like Sanlitun Bar Street, transforming the most dangerous area into the safest haven.
