I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2265: Chapter 2266: Our Pattern Is Different

“Fine, I’ll follow you today anyway.”

Before long, the bus arrived, and the two of them put in their coins and boarded.

After about seven or eight stops, they got off.

Walking forward more than a hundred meters, they reached an old-style residential building.

Despite Yang City being a first-tier city, there were still many old and decrepit buildings.

Lin Yi estimated that the red-brick cylinder building in front of him must have a history of at least thirty years.

“Let’s go, this is our stop.”

Led by Liu Lei, the two made their way familiarly to a unit on the second floor.

As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted with a pungent smell of smoke.

It seemed like a bunch of people were practicing “immortal cultivation” inside the room.

Lin Yi glanced around and saw there were about seven or eight people.

Four of them were smoking cigarettes shirtless, and there were also two with tattoos on their bodies.

“Young Master Lei, you’re here. Hey, who’s the guy next to you?”

“He’s my brother,” Liu Lei said,

“When we used to live by the power plant, my brother was already mixing there. He came with me today to get a glimpse of the world.”

“I know the power plant area; the big brother there is called Song Fei, and everyone on the streets calls him Brother Da Fei.”

Lin Yi looked at the person speaking. By his looks, he should be a few years older than Liu Lei and his friends, seemingly the leader of these people.

As Lin Yi had guessed, the man named Li Zheng was the local hoodlum leader.

But he wasn’t all that capable; his subordinates were just a few high schoolers like Liu Lei. To Lin Yi, they weren’t impressive at all.

He would consider dirtying his hands by hitting them beneath him.

“My brother isn’t that amazing,” Liu Lei said with a wave of his hand,

“He was just messing around back then. He’s not as good as me, or else he wouldn’t need to come out with me to see the world.”

“That’s alright, anyone who comes is one of us. Wait a bit, we’ll go see a big shot, and it’ll definitely be an eye-opener for you all.”

“Brother Zheng, you still haven’t told us who are we going to meet today?” Liu Lei asked curiously.

The others had the same look of anticipation in their eyes.

“A real, genuine big shot of society!” Li Zheng said proudly.

“Is he more impressive than Brother Da Fei?”

“There’s simply no comparison!” Li Zheng said,

“In front of that man, Brother Da Fei is nothing.”

“Holy shit!”

A series of exclamations erupted in the room.

In their eyes, someone like Brother Da Fei was already extremely formidable.

But Li Zheng was saying that the person they were going to meet today was even beyond Brother Da Fei. How powerful must he be?

“Brother Zheng, stop teasing us. I had a fight at home and came out today; just tell me who we’re going to meet.”

Li Zheng gave a mysterious smile. “Today, I’m taking you to meet Zhao Guangli!”

“Zhao Guangli!”

“Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”

Hearing the name Zhao Guangli, all seven or eight people in the room went into a frenzy, their eyes shining with excitement.

“Brother Zheng, is this Zhao Guangli the big brother of Yang City?”

“That’s right, it’s him.” Li Zheng said with an air of mystery,

“Let me tell you, someone like Zhao Guangli is the real big shot of society. Even those government officials have countless ties with him; he’s really powerful.”

“And I heard he’s got several lives under his belt too.”

“Really?” A long-haired high schooler asked.

“Of course, it’s true. How could it be fake?” Li Zheng said,

“Do you guys know? Zhao Guangli became famous for a fight over a decade ago. Alone with a knife, he held off more than twenty people. Since then, Zhao Guangli has been a name to contend with in Yang City.”

Hearing these people talk about Zhao Guangli, Lin Yi found the name eerily familiar.

In his memory, the boss of Yang City seemed to be named Wu Tianfu, and he recalled that there was a godson of his named Zhao Guangli.

Lin Yi touched his chin pondering; he remembered that guy looking rather timid, yet he wielded such a great reputation.

That was truly bizarre.

“Wait, Brother Zheng. I’ve heard that there’s also a Wu Tianfu in Yang City. Who’s more badass, him or Zhao Guangli?” Liu Lei asked.

“You’ve really hit the nail on the head with that one,” Li Zheng said,

“Actually, Wu Tianfu and Zhao Guangli are related because Zhao Guangli is his godson. So it’s not about who’s more badass.”

“But I still think Wu Tianfu is more badass, to be able to take Zhao Guangli as his godson,” Liu Lei said.

“The two belong to different eras. Zhao Guangli rose because of Wu Tianfu’s help, so you’re right to think that,” Li Zheng said,

“However, Wu Tianfu is old now. Yang City is almost entirely managed by Zhao Guangli. So now, Zhao Guangli is the real deal, the big brother. And he’s who we are going to meet tonight.”

“Then let’s go now, I can’t wait any longer,” said Liu Lei,

“Such characters aren’t someone you meet just every day.”

In their minds, under normal circumstances, one might never get to meet someone like Zhao Guangli in their entire life.

But now, presented with such an opportunity, it was definitely something to cherish.

Li Zheng glanced at his watch, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and with a swing of his arm said,

“Let’s go, we should head over early, not to miss the time.”

“Quick, quick, quick, if I miss this opportunity, I’ll regret it to death.”

The group hurried out the door, with Lin Yi following behind, finding them rather amusing.

“Bro, how do you feel?” Liu Lei said a bit smugly, “You didn’t have this kind of opportunity back in your day, did you?”

“Indeed, we didn’t,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“That’s right, times have changed, and you and my brother are out of date,” Liu Lei said,

“Back then, all you knew was how to fight. There was no strategy or anything. Look at us now, we’re on a different path.”

“Uh…”

Lin Yi found himself at a loss for words.

“How is it a different path?”

“Back then, it was fighting and fighting, which, to put it plainly, is lackey work. Look at us now; we’re on the path of the big brother. The future development is different; this is what you call vision.”

Forcing back a laugh, Lin Yi said, “Isn’t that why I’m out with you today, to see the world?”

“Quick, quick, quick, don’t miss out on this chance.”

The group left the house, still opting for the bus.

Lin Yi felt a bit helpless; those on the path to becoming big brothers still couldn’t escape the fate of taking the bus.

Seems like being a big brother wasn’t much after all.

After approximately another seven or eight stops, the group got off at Wanda Jiahua Hotel and then quietly sat down on a flowerbed not far from there.

“Aren’t we supposed to be meeting Zhao Guangli? Why are we sitting here?” Lin Yi questioned.

“We’re watching here,” Li Zheng said,

“I heard they’re eating inside the hotel. When they come out, we can finally meet him.”

Lin Yi: ???

These future big shots of society sure knew how to live humbly.
