Cui Jingyan looked at Chu Feng and found him amusing, causing her to burst into a giggle, which made her chest heave up and down as she laughed.
"Let's go, Sister will take you downstairs and announce the new personnel appointment," Cui Jingyan said as she walked ahead in her fifteen-centimeter high heels.
Chu Feng had no choice but to follow her obediently, trying his best to keep his eyes in check.
Upon reaching the lobby on the first floor, Cui Jingyan gathered everyone and announced Chu Feng's new appointment.
"Sister Yan, what do you mean by this? If you think I'm not good enough, just tell me to leave. There's no need to let some wet-behind-the-ears kid belittle me!" Cui Jingyan had barely finished speaking when someone jumped out in opposition.
Chu Feng recognized the challenger—it was the former head of security, whom everyone called Brother Tie. Chu Feng knew that Brother Tie was actually under Tong Hu. Tong Hu managed to control the affairs within Golden Cauldron largely because of Brother Tie.
Cui Jingyan knew as well, but she hadn't had a suitable replacement before. Now that she did, she was ready to replace him at the first opportunity.
Cui Jingyan looked at Brother Tie and coldly chuckled, "Brother Tie, you've been at Golden Cauldron for half a year. I want to ask you, what have you done for Golden Cauldron in this half year? Just a while ago, Tong Hu was in my office. If it weren't for Chu Feng, we might have lost a month's income again."
Upon hearing this, Brother Tie loudly retorted, "If I hadn't been at Golden Cauldron for the past six months, the number of times those punks came to make trouble would probably be dozens of times higher."
This was an outright threat. Seeing the look in Brother Tie's eyes, Cui Jingyan felt a chill. However, she didn't know whether it was time to turn against him.
Because if punks really came every day to cause trouble, she couldn't keep her KTV open.
Seeing this, Chu Feng slightly smiled and then stepped forward, "Brother Tie, right? I haven't been here long, but I know that Brother Tie became a captain because of his martial arts skills. How about we have a competition today? Whoever wins gets to stay, how does that sound?"
When Brother Tie heard Chu Feng challenge him, he couldn't help but sneer. Although he was not a famous martial arts expert, fighting was as easy as eating for Brother Tie. He could knock down ten students like Chu Feng.
"Fine! How do you want to compete?" Brother Tie said arrogantly.
Chu Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Fighting in the store wouldn't be appropriate and it wouldn't look good to the public. Let's have a verbal fight and see who can open beer bottles better."
Brother Tie and his men couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.
Cui Jingyan frowned, wondering what Chu Feng was doing. With Chu Feng's capabilities, he could easily deal with Brother Tie in minutes. There was no need for such roundabout methods.
Seeing Cui Jingyan's doubt, Chu Feng gave her a reassuring look.
"You want to compete with me on who uses the bottle opener better?" Brother Tie mockingly said.
Chu Feng laughed and shook his head, "Of course, there's no need to compete using a bottle opener."
Brother Tie still sneered, "Are you going to compete on who has better teeth then?"
Chu Feng shook his head again, "Of course, there's no need to compete with teeth either."
This time Brother Tie frowned, "Then what do you want to compete with me on?"
Chu Feng said, "I've heard that Brother Tie knows the Powerful Eagle Claw Skill and can open beer bottles with his hands. Let's compete on that."
Brother Tie heard this and laughed even more exaggeratedly and happily as he really knew how to perform the Powerful Eagle Claw Skill and had even performed opening beer with his hands.
"You're looking for your own death, fine, I'll oblige you," Brother Tie said with a laugh, but his face quickly turned cold.
Cui Jingyan saw Chu Feng choosing something that the opponent was best at, and immediately her brow furrowed deeply. Nonetheless, she ultimately decided to trust Chu Feng.
"Here are two cases of beer. Whoever finishes first will stay, and the loser gets lost!" Brother Tie said fiercely.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Okay!"
Brother Tie sneered, then said, "Then let's get started."
After saying that, Brother Tie directly picked up a bottle of beer, positioned his thumb and index finger on the bottle cap, and with a forceful push, he popped it open.
He then continuously opened nine more, leaving only two remaining.
Seeing that Chu Feng still hadn't moved, Brother Tie mocked, "What's the matter? Are you scared stiff by my performance, or are you ready to admit defeat?"
Seeing this, Cui Jingyan frowned, wondering why Chu Feng, who clearly couldn't compete, was still trying to show off. She even suspected that Chu Feng might also be a person sent by Tong Hu. The surrounding waitstaff whispered among themselves as they watched Chu Feng.
When Brother Tie picked up the eleventh beer bottle, Chu Feng finally moved.
Chu Feng directly grabbed a beer bottle and raised his hand. Toward the neck of the bottle, he delivered a karate chop.
"Snap!"
The neck of the beer bottle was cleanly severed by Chu Feng's karate chop, leaving a neatly cut edge as if it had truly been sliced with a knife.
"Ah!"
Brother Tie, seeing such a scene, even forgot that he still had a beer bottle in his hand and was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone else was also staring dumbfounded, while Cui Jingyan's eyes shone brightly.
Without stopping, Chu Feng picked up another beer bottle and repeated the process.
In less than thirty seconds, Chu Feng had sliced open twelve beer bottles, each with a neat and even break.
"Brother Tie, are you watching my performance, or are you ready to just admit defeat?" Chu Feng returned Brother Tie's earlier words to him verbatim.
At that moment, Brother Tie was still standing there holding the eleventh beer bottle without any action.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
It was unclear who started clapping first, but then all the waitstaff followed suit, clapping along with Cui Jingyan. Even many of the female waitstaff showed adoring looks in their eyes.
Beautiful women love heroes—an eternal truth—and this hero was not bad-looking either.
"You cheated!" Brother Tie, after a few seconds of shock, said angrily.
Chu Feng said indifferently, "How did I cheat?"
Brother Tie said, "How could you precisely cut the bottle so smoothly? You definitely have a blade in your hand."
Chu Feng sneered, then said, "Alright, then check it out. And if there's none, I can use your head for an experiment to show you whether there is a blade or not."
Upon hearing this, Brother Tie instinctively shrank his neck. He had seen clearly that there was no blade in Chu Feng's hand; he was just trying to save face. But risking his head for an experiment—that he dared not do; if a beer bottle could be shattered, what would become of his own head?
"Fine! You just wait, I will make you pay the price for your cheating," Brother Tie said vehemently, then turned and angrily left Golden Cauldron.
Brother Tie indeed left Golden Cauldron, but instead of going home, he turned and entered a narrow alleyway.
