Day 2 Evening talks and dumb decisions Part 1

"Don't ignore me!" Yang Chao snapped. Seeing how confused and dazed the guy who pissed his girl off and now was just ignoring him, well it just him off. "Grr! Hey!" Impulse wanted him to grab hold of Rexford and start shaking him.

"We should hurry up for we can go to dinner before partying. The karaoke food might not be good." Ranran suggested.

His backup boys started hyping him up. Not wanting to disappoint them, Yang Chao started thinking he was something else. One should never underestimate the various forms of peer pressure.

As well as stupidity for picking a fight with someone you don't know to make someone else happy.

Rexford was trying to figure out what was going on with the miniature version of himself. In front of the little thing, was a small clear outline of a humanoid. Well, it looked like a person for the most part, but gender was undetermined.

*Ping!* A spirit pill popped. The energy flew into the silhouette adding more of an outline to it.

"Kick his ass!" One of the lackeys yelled.

"Hmm?" As Rexford paid close attention to that, Yang Chao made his move. A sloppy jab went out. The boy had no form or never looked to be in any fight before. Always getting others to do it for him. 'Not gonna let it take the pills!'

*Thump!* A small noise was made on impact. The teen's fist was bruised almost strained from the punch. Flesh against solid stone will kind of do that.

"Did.. did you just try to punch me cupcake? You should me teach you how to really fight." Rexford sneered leaning forward. Seeing the expression on Yang Chao's face he figured it would be to soon to pull him over from the useless side. Best to build a bit of a good image with this one maybe. "I, mean... it felt like a decent hit!" His voice was loud and carried well on the street.

Quite a few people were watching the altercation go down. Not only were they jeering and mocking the young rich boy, but they were also mocking Mengmeng as well. Some of them went to the same school as the two.

"Tch! Was just messing with you is all!" Yang Chao said embarrassed. By the looks of most of his group, they believed it. But not the crowd. "Just get in the car and let's go Mengmeng!" It was best to get far from the situation as possible. 'Well.. at least he didn't try to embarrass me. Mengmeng has to have kept something from me.'

"Come and ride with us!" Xu Rongfei blurted out. Ranran next to her looked down out of sight. Just then, she wanted to shout the same thing. But with her friend doing it, she saved a little face. Especially with how she was just against Chen Fan coming with a few minutes ago. "You sure he is just some bumpkin Ranran?"

"I.. don't really know him that well ok!" She pouted looking away. "We should just hurry and get something to eat!"

Rexford got in the passenger seat saying nothing. His phone already in hand as he made a few purchases after verifying the funds on the card. Oh did he spend money! A better phone, a laptop, a desktop, some clothes, High Protein Food, as well as a few subscription plans.

Hulu was a must as well as some stock for it. Tenet Healthcare (THC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stocks were purchased. Netflix, Crocs, and Riverbed Technology as well. He wished he went to those meetings Michael set up. But International work always paid better.

Considering those were the only ones he could remember at that time, it well worth it.

"Really need to unwind..." Rexford put the phone away. Closing his eyes, he went over the various cultivation available to learn and to disturb to those who were close to him. "...need more people."

Rongfei and Ranran gave each other a look not really knowing what he was talking about. The person who drove the car they were in said nothing.

In the opposite cars, Mengmeng was grumbling and barely kept herself from getting into an argument with Yang Chao. Yang Chao was rubbing his hand tenderly dealing with her voice. He almost miss stepped when provoking Rexford.

Restaurant-

.

Pulling up to the mostly gold exterior restaurant, Rexford just received a message from the Wei's. They were wanting to meet sooner than later to discuss some matters. Giving the address of the place, he stepped out of the car with the others.

"Welcome!" The staff greeted them. A bunch of young women bowed in synch. A lot of training had to have gone into getting that downright. "Please, enjoy your stay!"

'Hmm, all women but quite a few of the young rich people are female wasting money. Why don't they have another group that are all attractive men? What a waste of marketing potential!' Money was the only thing on his mind currently. 'Maybe I should go to some caves and run qi to find mineral deposits? Oh, there is that jewelry cutting thing! How did I forget!'

Smiling to himself, Rexford pulled out his phone to check for any Rock Cutting in the area. Two were nearby with a third one just a jog away.

As he stood to the side just thinking of ways to make more money and what to not do when opening a restaurant/hotel in this country, Yang Chao made arrangements.

"I want your biggest and best hall."

The followers standing back smug and ready to enjoy the ride of a free meal as usual.

"Hey, why not go down to something a little lower?" Rexford interrupted. "Think of the size we have. Not that large of a group. We would just take up staff for no reason and since this looks to be all who are coming that is just overkill. Don't you want to talk to those who are here at the table instead of yelling all around the room?"

"Tch!" Mengmeng was wanting the best since that is what she was accustom to. 'This prick is ruining my birthday!'

"Your friend brings up a good point." The Host said. He leaned forward a little more to whisper with a relieved expression since he didn't want to disappoint the young rich group. "The King's Hall is currently occupied by a very important man for entertaining his distinguished guests."

"You know what, you are right. The Queen's Hall would fit just right." Yang Chao said. He looked over his shoulders not seeing any indicator the others heard. "It is your birthday after all Mengmeng, perfect for my young Queen."

'Darling the King's Hall is so much better though." Mengmeng whined. "I want the King's Hall! It's my birthday!" The teen was starting to be a real pain.

"Yeah man, it's her birthday!" His lackeys shouted. They were not helping the situation at all. "No way you don't have the pull to get the best place, brother Chao!"

"Darling..." Mengmeng rubbed his chest giving him a look. Her hip rubbing his leg to entice him further.

"Ye..yeah!" Having his ego stroke, despite himself, he missed the chance to not have a problem. "Do me a favor man, my father runs a five-star hotel. I'll owe you one in the future if you help out."

The Host looked at Rexford to see if he could talk some sense into the young scion.

Rexford walked over placing a hand on Yang Chao getting his full attention. The others were unable to really hear as he talked. His phone was set to record for matters later.

"What is it?" Yang Chao felt Mengmeng pull away in a huff. Ranran and Rongfei talking to her.

"Bruh, the pussy that good she can talk to you like that and get you in trouble?" Rexford looked on disappointed. Barely holding back a look of disgust. "Man.. are you even getting head at least?"

"Shh! Watched your mouth man!" Yang Chao looked at the Host who had a pleading look still.

"She is not worth it.. and you know it. Shit, your homies about to cause an issue if they don't cool it to." Thumb hiked back, Rexford pointed at the shit friends. "You have the money she has money, well your parents do really. Can't enjoy it if she gets you in trouble. Or they get you fucked up. Think really hard about the fact he said an important person was eating with guests."

"What the hell is he whispering about?" The blonde-haired lackey asked the others. They shrugged not really caring either way. They just wanted to go eat for free. "I'll take care of this shitty host!"

He moved to pass Rexford and Yang Chao. Bumping into the latter a little. Design to get his boss's attention.

"Ahh.. guest.." The Host looked up.

"Cut the crap! Get your boss out here!" He struck the Host harshly. "Get someone who can make a decision out here!"

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else!" Ranran was feeling really uncomfortable. Mengmeng was just now calming down a little. "Making trouble in a place like this is just a dumb move."

"It's okay, at the worst we can ask Chao's father for help." Mengmeng said. "He knows people, so it will work out."

"Well..." Rongfei was starting to get bothered as well. Despite the fact if she would have spoken more they would have defintely moved to a different venue. ".. we can just.." Seeing Mengmeng's face she wavered and kept quiet.

"Haaa, can't help with stupid." Rexford said mostly toward Mengmeng's direction. Making eye contact with the other two didn't really help the situation. "Ranran, I am sure your mother wouldn't want you involved with a problem like this. You said you were going to a party not witness to an assault case. This little bit.. I mean brat is not worth getting in trouble with."

He walked over staring the girl down. A hand offered as he was quite clear. She should leave with him.

"I am not witnessed to an assault, I didn't see anything." Ranran looked away from the Host. "My mother has nothing to worry about."

"You're trying to take Ranran away before the party even begins!" Mengmeng stepped in front pulling Ranran away. Giving Yang Chao a look to do something.

"You can leave if you want, but Jiang wants to stay." Seeing the reluctant look she had to play her trump card. "Ranran is my bestie, she won't leave on my birthday! Right?"

"Since you guys still want to hang out, of course, I'll stay." Ranran said demurely. She looked at Rongfei who shrugged not willing to leave the two either. "Go home yourself, and tell my mom not to worry."

"You hear her. Off you go!" Mengmeng said disdainfully.

"Hehe, ok." Rexford pulled his phone out stopping the recording. He sent the file to Aunty Tang and turned to leave. "I tried, can only blame yourself for what happens next. Yang Chao, when you are done dealing with little girls, let me know. Might be hope for you yet."

Yang Chao was easily controlled and would help learn a few places worth checking out. Plus the connection to the party scene was never bad.

Passing a few suits who were security, and a bald head man with a scar, Rexford wonder if he could get a table to get a nice meal before people from the Wei Family arrived.

*Shine!* Leaving them to their own devices, a gold light left from Rongfei, Ranran, and Mengmeng. It entered Rexford storing away into his Internal Space. Black light left from him and entered the three in return. This change the course of what was originally meant to happen in regards to him some.

'Now for this Agent stuff. Is it something like those I hired back hom but on the spiritual level or something?'
