People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

So, who could it be?

Those Mexican bastards?

Probably!

Those bastards always disliked him and wanted to get rid of him….

Is that right?

Uncle Fried Chicken thought about a lot of things.

Didn't have to wait long.

Mike received a call from a friend and learned about Mickey's identity. Then, he called Uncle Fried Chicken and said, "The other person's identity has also been found out. His name is Mickey Milkovich. He's from Chicago. He has no criminal record, is a minor, and has been to juvenile detention a few times. There's nothing special about him. His face matches."

“Okay,” Uncle Fried Chicken replied.

then.

Another question has arisen.

Why would someone like Ding Ze keep Mickey, an ordinary small-time hoodlum, by his side?

What is the purpose?

Is there anything special about that Mickey Mouse?

that's it.

To some extent, Uncle Fried Chicken, who has secretly owned the city for over a decade, is genuinely confused about the current situation and doesn't understand it at all...

evening.

After finishing his shift and leaving the school, Walter drove to the car wash, clocked out without delay, and headed straight to the cashier to start his shift.

The car wash is doing good business, and most of the employees are not native Americans, but mainly Mexican immigrants.

Therefore, no one said much to Walter, the white part-time worker.

Walter was unaware that the car wash had changed owners until Ding Ze appeared, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Hello," Ding Ze greeted Walter with a smile as he walked up to him, who had just been standing behind the cashier.

"Hello," Walter glanced at Ding Ze, nodded in response, assuming Ding Ze was a customer, and asked, "What service do you need for your car?"

Ding Ze had been watching Walter ever since he came in. Knowing that Walter was unaware of the situation, he smiled and said, "I don't need any services, I just came to chat with you."

"???" Walter didn't understand. "Let's talk?"

“It seems you don’t know,” Ding Ze laughed. “Here’s the thing, my name is Jason Freeman. Not long ago, I bought this car wash from Mr. Wallitz and I’m the new owner.”

Walter was genuinely surprised that the car wash had changed owners so quietly, and was immediately taken aback. "I just arrived, I really haven't heard of it... Hello, boss."

Walter greeted him, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Ding Ze grinned, not at all surprised by Walter's attitude.

Walter was that kind of person.

He may seem weak and easily manipulated, but in essence, he has always been a ruthless, stubborn, and proud person...

To put it another way, it's roughly like this...

Walter, with his high IQ and strong abilities, should have achieved great things in this country. However, after starting a family and having that unfortunate son, he succumbed to reality, resigned himself to fate, and became numb to his own existence, telling himself that this kind of life was fine...

But deep down, Walter's nature never changed... Otherwise, after learning that he only had about two years to live, Walter wouldn't have entered that line of work without hesitation...

A tiger is a tiger after all. It might be able to play the role of a docile and obedient house cat for a while, but if you push it too far, it will definitely show you what a real tiger is like...

This is why, in the original series, Walter gradually came to live his own life and eventually admitted that he enjoyed it.

In short…

They're all damned families!

A despicable wife, a stupid son…..

Men, if you're truly capable, never get involved in family matters too early.

Otherwise, one slip-up and your whole life is ruined.

Comrade Walter is a good example.

“Hello, I’d like to have a chat with you. Come to my office,” Ding Ze said with a smile.

Walter was somewhat surprised, instinctively thinking that Ding Ze was going to fire him. But then he thought of his wife and children, so he could only humbly ask, "Boss, did I do something wrong?"

Ding Ze immediately shook his head, "No, don't worry, I just want to talk to you."

To get someone like Walter to serve you, coercion and manipulation won't work.

Again.

Walter is now a tiger that has temporarily succumbed to reality…

When dealing with tigers, you must respect them and make them willingly acknowledge you as their master.

Otherwise, if you're not careful, the tiger will bite you.

You can understand this by asking the people Walter killed in the original series.

Walter silently breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then I'll find someone to come and collect the cash?"

“No need,” Ding Ze replied with a smile, then called out to Mickey, who was not too far away, “Mickey, come here and take charge of collecting the money.”

Mickey moved, but looked helpless. "Boss, I don't know how to handle cashier duties either."

Ding Ze smiled brightly, "Take whatever you like."

Mickey: "...Okay."

-

in the office.

Ding Ze and Walter sat facing each other.

Ding Ze took out a cigarette. "Want a smoke?"

Walter shook his head. "No, thank you."

Ding Ze lit one for himself and said, "Walter White, right? I've seen the employment information. You're a teacher at Wayne High School?"

Walter nodded. "Yes."

Ding Ze smiled, "I respect teachers very much. What do you teach?"

“Chemistry,” Walter answered succinctly.

“Chemistry is great, it’s my favorite subject, but unfortunately I’m terrible at it,” Ding Ze said. “Mr. White, I’d like to ask you, as a teacher, why do you work part-time here after get off work? Teachers’ income shouldn’t be too low, even if it’s not very high.”

No money, but a family to support—that was the reality Walter succumbed to.

Walter didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he asked instead of replying, "Mr. Freeman, what is the purpose of this conversation?"

Ding Ze was familiar with Walter's personality and knew that Walter liked to take the initiative, so he didn't mind. "Like I just said, I respect my teacher very much. And now that I've bought this car wash, I naturally want to make some changes here and make more money."

Ding Ze said in one breath, "When Mr. Wollitz owned this car wash, he did everything himself, while I have more things to do and businesses to manage, so I can't stay here forever."

"Compared to the other employees here, Mr. White, you are the most cultured and familiar with this place."

"So, I want to get to know you and see if there's any chance I can make some changes."

Walter was a smart man and immediately understood the meaning behind those words. He relaxed a bit and became less resistant to the conversation. "Mr. Freeman, I thank you for your kindness, but as you know, I have a job, and even if I could, I couldn't work here for long periods..."

“It’s okay. I’ve always believed that efficient management doesn’t mean having a lot of time. If you’re capable enough, maybe coming here for a few hours every day can also help us make more money. What do you think?” Ding Ze said.

Walter was indeed tempted upon hearing this.

If it doesn't affect my regular job, I can work here for a few hours every day as before, but earn more money and won't have to do the lowly cashier work. I can manage so many people...

What's wrong with that?

“That’s true,” Walter said, his words softened by interest. He then answered Ding Ze’s question, “The reason I came here to work is simple: I’m short of money.”

“My wife is currently not working, and my son has polio.”

"There are many places in the family where money is needed."

After listening.

Ding Ze immediately feigned surprise, "So that's how it is. You've really had a tough time."

Walter gave a bitter smile and didn't say anything more.

Ding Ze then continued, "So, as I said, I have great respect for my teacher, Mr. White. If you were to manage this car wash, are you confident that you could make it more profitable?"

Walter did not answer directly. "Mr. Freeman, I must make this clear beforehand: from Monday to Friday, I can only come after get off work. I have more time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I can't stay here for long periods every day."

Ding Ze nodded. "That's not a problem."

Upon hearing this, Walter didn't hesitate any longer, "Then I'm willing to give it a try."

Ding Ze smiled and said, "Alright, Mr. White, I also need to tell you in advance that you have two months. If the profits here do not increase after two months, then I will have to replace you."

Walter understood. "No problem, Mr. Freeman. What are your expectations?"
