Book 1: Chapter 125

Book 1: Chapter 125

I thought this expert lived in a house surrounded by water and we would use a boat to get to it. We would drink a pot of good tea and look at the blue sky as we started negotiating the price. But unexpectedly, we were smoking cigarettes on the stairs while negotiating the price.

Hong Ding Shuixian listened to Fatty's explanation and remained silent. Fatty looked at his crotch and asked, "Did you develop a side business recently?"

"I needed money quick and my old partners were dead. Youre cultured and your ancestors left you something, but were all half-trained and in a hurry to make some money. If theres a quick and easy way to make money, then why not switch jobs?" His hair was very thin and greasy, and he scratched at it while refraining from answering Fattys proposal.

"So you just set aside your craft?" Fatty asked

Hong Ding Shuixian laughed, "What I have in my pants is a real craft, but unfortunately, youre all men and can't enjoy it. What I did before was too lively and exciting."Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Looking at him, I really couldn't figure out why he got any business. Hong Ding Shuixian looked at me and knew what I was thinking. "Brother, it's about doing it frequently. Do you understand?" (1)

Fatty sighed, "We need to save some people in the business. Weve come to you for help."

"If I help you, who will help me?" Hong Ding Shuixian retorted. I went to the mountains with you once and couldnt pick up clients for a month. I can make more than five hundred thousand in a single month."

If this trash can make five hundred thousand a month, then I just might enter heaven if I'm the one picking up clients (2). I was secretly fuming and wanted to speak up, but Fatty suddenly winked at me.

I pulled Fatty aside, "He, he, what can he do?"

Fatty became annoyed, "Hey, I say Mr. Nave, do you look down on prostitutes? You know, there are people in the underworld who are ranked above us. We can't look down on prostitutes when were the ones that go underground. Do you think that money is easy to earn?"

"It's not like I would know if that money is easy to earn, but dont you think five hundred thousand in a single month is a bit ridiculous? He, he, hes not as good as you. At least a few young girls like you every once in a while. I guess he had to bribe people to come on to him."

"Like youre one to fucking talk. Go and try it. Ill even give you a nickname: Fish in the Water (4). If you receive three hundred thousand in a month, Ill make two crutches and engrave Zhang Shengji (5) on them. Do you think the old duck soup is that easy to make?" Fatty hooked his arm around my neck, "Were here to get help, so calm down! Believe me, this man is as good as ten divers. Well pay him even if he asks for a hundred and fifty million!"

TN Notes:

(1) I think he means he can go a few rounds without getting tired, but I'm not sure. Someone said this is a hilarious interpretation of Man in the Wind by Tang Xiaosheng. I think it got taken down or something because I wasnt finding much background info on it. It might be a scandalous BL webnovel, might not. Who knows. The characters of the title () can also mean Male Prostitute or a male who has endured hardships. I did find the first chapter here.

(2) Per Tiffany: Wu Xie didnt think Hong Ding was good looking. In Wu Xies opinion, he was definitely more handsome than Hong Ding. If Hong Ding could get 500,000 a month, then Wu Xie would get so many clients non-stop and make way more than that. Heaven is a euphemism.

(3) Its a popular curse from Sichuan. MMP= Ma Mai Pi (sounds like ma my pee), which means motherfucker.

(4) You know. his private part is the fish lol

(5) Zhang Shengji is a famous restaurant in Hangzhou that has received a lot of awards and honors. It has different dishes for different seasons. Its "Old Duck Soup is a popular dish made from a secret recipe.
