Chapter 395: Women's Circle
Shuiling pulled Xiao He over.
"Did you finish talking?"
Liang Kun said speechlessly,
"Men are talking, why are you two butting in?"
Shuiling laughed,
"It's just that our protagonist today is a little shy."
Lin Feng understood instantly.
He nudged Bu Tonglin,
"Ah Bu, you can go out and play now."
Bu Tonglin was a bit embarrassed.
"Brother Feng, I'm waiting here for your instructions."
Lin Feng waved his hand,
"Go, go, go, hurry up and accompany your little girlfriend."
Bu Tonglin's face turned red.
Xiao He's face also turned red.
Lin Feng suddenly said,
"Ah Bu, you're about to go on a business trip, and you probably won't be able to come back for a long time."
Xiao He's expression immediately changed.
"How about this, I'll approve a vacation for you to go have fun in Okamoto."
"Don't say I, as a Chief, am unfeeling; let your little girlfriend go with you."
"I'll reimburse the round-trip airfare and other expenses."
Just as Bu Tonglin was about to speak, Liang Kun secretly stepped on his foot, and Ah Bu immediately shut up.
Shuiling chuckled softly,
"Now that's more like it."
"How can you make a horse run without letting it eat grass?"
"Xiao He, are you satisfied?"
Xiao He secretly glanced at Bu Tonglin, noticing that he was nervously watching her, and she quickly said,
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
"However, I'm a police officer, so it might be difficult to ask for leave."
"The situation is different now; there's a shortage of people everywhere..."
Lin Feng smiled,
"It's not like all eighteen districts are short of people."
"Like your Outlying Islands Headquarters, where are they short of people?"
"The Tycoon's people can cause trouble, but they won't run to the Outlying Islands to do it."
"Who would they be causing trouble for there?"
"I'll call your superintendent; you can go with confidence."
Xiao He's eyes widened.
"Brother Feng, you're still in contact with our superintendent?"
Lin Feng smiled,
"I have connections with the Chiefs of all eighteen districts."
As he spoke, he pulled out a check, quickly wrote one out, and handed it to Bu Tonglin.
"Ah Bu, this is your budget for one week."
"I only have one request: if you don't spend all the money, don't come back."
Bu Tonglin took the check and glanced at it, then exclaimed,
"So much?"
Lin Feng said indifferently,
"No experience."
"How much is this?"
"Hurry up and take Xiao He out to play."
Bu Tonglin thanked him, hesitated for a moment, then pulled Xiao He and left.
Both young people's faces were red.
Lin Feng gave Shuiling a thumbs-up.
"Sister-in-law, you've got it."
"Is it done?"
Shuiling laughed,
"When a man pursues a woman, it's like a mountain; when a woman pursues a man, it's like a veil."
"Ah Bu is a good person, handsome, kind, and has a promising future."
"Xiao He already had him in her heart."
"They both had feelings for each other, but they just hadn't revealed it yet."
"In the current environment, the only person Xiao He can rely on is Ah Bu; I just gave a gentle push, and the young lady agreed."
She shook her head as she spoke.
"Such enviable youth."
Liang Kun said speechlessly,
"What are you getting all emotional about in the middle of the night? You came at just the right time; Ah Feng has a big project again."
Shuiling's eyes immediately lit up.
"Ah Feng, how big is the project?"
Lin Feng smiled,
"As big as you want it to be."
Liang Kun sighed,
"Mr. Chiang is returning from Siam tonight."
Shuiling immediately said,
"I'll go back and tell the sisters to prepare the food."
Lin Feng smiled,
"Alright, Ah Min and the others are under your command."
Shuiling happily led a group of women away first.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and said,
"Alright, I'm leaving with the Chief too; if we stay here any longer, I guess you all will be uncomfortable."
"Brother Kun, Brother Yao, let's go."
The two naturally stood up, and everyone else saw them off.
After the three left, even the usually steady Li Fu started to get excited.
Qi Qi wanted to advise him, but after thinking about it, she decided against it; it was better to let the men relieve their stress.
Li Fu had always been a steady person, never indulging in wild behavior; today, he seemed genuinely happy.
Qi Qi had seen too much of what her father, Yue Lu, was like.
Li Fu only indulged occasionally, which was much better compared to her Old Father.
Qi Qi simply joined her girlfriends in having fun.
Cui Miaoxiang was truly surprised to see Qi Qi like this.
"Qi Qi, you can have fun too."
Qi Qi smiled,
"Lawyers are people too."
Cui Miaoxiang was stunned.
Actually, thinking about it, it was true; no matter what profession, it was done by people.
As long as they were human, they had seven emotions and six desires.
Unless they were cultivators, like monks, Taoists, or priests, how could anyone else escape the control of the seven emotions and six desires?
Sai Sai Lap drank a glass of red wine and said to everyone,
"I used to envy the lives of rich people."
Cui Miaoxiang laughed,
"And now?"
Sai Sai Lap nodded vigorously,
"I still envy them now."
"But it's different from the envy before."
Cui Miaoxiang saw Sai Sai Lap as if she were seeing her younger self; Sai Sai Lap was a typical Young and Dangerous girl, and Cui Miaoxiang herself was a tomboy.
Their backgrounds were similar, so they felt a strong connection.
"How is it different?"
Sai Sai Lap frankly said,
"Before, when I thought of rich people, I'd imagine them having yachts, attending parties, and traveling to various countries every day."
"Their food, clothing, and everything they used were beyond our imagination."
"Now, I don't think that way at all."
"Rich people's food, clothing, and daily necessities are similar to ours, just a bit more luxurious."
"Their biggest difference from us is that they have more room for error."
"If it were me, if my chain bar business failed, I'd go bankrupt."
"But rich people don't care about the failure of a single project."
"They have money, so they have more choices."
"Who wouldn't want a life like that?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Qi Qi smiled,
"Sai Sai Lap, in the eyes of ordinary people, you're also a rich person."
Sai Sai Lap shook her head repeatedly,
"How am I rich?"
"How many days have I been rich?"
"If I hadn't followed Tin Hung, I'd still be messing around on the streets."
Sai Sai Lap's personality was very straightforward; she always said what she thought.
She came from a Young and Dangerous background, so there was nothing she couldn't say.
Cui Miaoxiang said seriously,
"A wife's status rises with her husband's; it has always been so."
"As long as we're living well now, that's enough."
Sai Sai Lap smiled,
"That's exactly what I think."
"But in the end, it's still because our men found a good boss."
"A good boss like Brother Feng is rare in the entire underworld."
"We've really gotten a great deal."
Cui Miaoxiang's heart stirred.
"Is Brother Feng very generous to people?"
Sai Sai Lap nodded repeatedly,
"Generous, yes."
"My bars were all given by Boss Ding, and of course, Brother Feng also gave a lot."
"Otherwise, with Tin Hung's martial arts fanatic personality, how could he do business?"
"Boss Ding specifically hired someone to teach me all this."
"If it weren't for Brother Feng's sake, how would a Chief like Boss Ding do something like this?"
"Brother Feng has been very good to Tin Hung."
"I heard he wanted to give Tin Hung a villa, but Tin Hung didn't want it."
"So Brother Feng compensated him in other ways."
Qi Qi asked,
"Why didn't he want it?"
"A villa in Mid-Levels, it's prestigious to even mention it."
Sai Sai Lap chuckled,
"We're living pretty well now too."
"Anyway, we're not losing out."
Qi Qi regretted,
"It would be so good if you also lived in Mid-Levels; we could play together."
Sai Sai Lap smiled bitterly,
"I can't."
"I run a bar; my working hours are different from yours."
"It's always late to bed and early to rise..."
Qi Qi encouraged her,
"You need to work hard; once you establish a chain, you can hire people to manage it directly, and then you'll be much more relaxed."
Sai Sai Lap smiled,
"I'm working on it."
"I already have four chain stores under my name."
"After a while, I might add a few more."
Qi Qi's heart stirred, and she said to Sai Sai Lap,
"Brother Feng has a special source of water; you can ask him for some."
Sai Sai Lap was startled.
"Special source of water?"
"Are you talking about a water station?"
Qi Qi shook her head.
"Not a water station; it's a water source bought in his Mainland, said to be high in the mountains, making it very inconvenient to fetch water."
"Asking for a large quantity definitely won't work."
"But getting a small amount, I think Brother Feng wouldn't mind."
"At that time, the water in your bar could be sold at the same price as the drinks outside..."
Sai Sai Lap gasped,
"Wouldn't that be too dark?"
Qi Qi said speechlessly,
"What's too dark?"
"This is a private water source; even rich people usually can't enjoy it."
"This is a great opportunity to boost your bar's reputation."
Sai Sai Lap thought for a moment and thanked her,
"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Qi Qi; I'll have Tin Hung ask Brother Feng later."
Men form a circle, and women live around them.
No matter where it is, it's basically the same.
Ho Man, Lok Wai-Jan, and Fang Ting helped out Shui Ling.
Lok Wai-Jan, a reporter with keen observation skills, quietly asked Shui Ling:
"Sister-in-law, why do I feel like Brother Kun is very excited?"
Shui Ling smiled and said:
"Isn't Ah Kun's personality just like that? He's happier than anyone when he has money to earn."
"Ah Feng has a big project again, so he's definitely happy."
Lok Wai-Jan shook her head and said strangely,
"I always feel that Brother Kun's happiness is purely because of what he's eating tonight."
Ho Man and Fang Ting exchanged glances:
"Ah Zhen, did you see wrong?"
Lok Wai-Jan was very puzzled:
"Logically speaking, Brother Kun shouldn't be happy about just food, right?"
"Perhaps I saw wrong."
Shui Ling praised:
"What a clever and insightful girl, truly worthy of being a reporter."
"Her perception is just sharp."
The three women's eyes widened:
"Is Brother Kun really happy about the food tonight?"
Ho Man was utterly confused:
"Sister-in-law, what do you usually eat?"
Shui Ling chuckled:
"Actually, it's nothing special."
"Ah Kun usually eats too many tonics."
"Changing the flavor is also good."
The three women looked at the items in their hands, puzzled.
Abalone, lobster, tuna... aren't these tonic?
Shui Ling looked at them strangely:
"Aren't you going to give Ah Feng some tonics?"
Ho Man shook her head:
"Ah Feng's diet has actually always been Xiao Fu's responsibility."
"We sisters all have our own things to do and rarely spend time with Ah Feng."
"Come to think of it, has Fang Ting spent the most time with him recently?"
Shui Ling was stunned:
"Why don't you spend more time?"
Lok Wai-Jan, being straightforward, blurted out:
"We can't take it!"
Shui Ling was even more surprised:
"The three of you?"
Lok Wai-Jan pouted:
"Even three of us can't take it."
"He wears us out for half a day, and he's still the one who wakes up early the next morning."
At this point, Lok Wai-Jan suddenly realized,
"Sister-in-law, you wouldn't be giving Brother Kun heavy tonics every day, would you!"
Shui Ling was very calm:
"We're not young anymore, we need to have children."
"It's only right to give Ah Kun some tonics."
Ho Man and the other two women exchanged glances, intuitively feeling that this matter was not simple.
It was probably no longer a matter of just giving tonics.
It might have been an overdose, making Liang Kun dread the thought.
Otherwise, would an ordinary banquet make him so happy?
Shui Ling had already changed the subject:
"Where's Ah Sang? Why didn't you bring him?"
Ho Man shrugged:
"We wanted to bring him, but Old Mother wouldn't let us."
Shui Ling was surprised:
"You sent Ah Sang to Old Mother's place?"
Ho Man explained:
"We visit Old Mother together every week. She doesn't live with you, so whoever is free goes to see her."
"I had intended to bring Ah Sang back to meet his uncles."
"But Old Mother likes him too much, so he stayed there."
Shui Ling asked curiously:
"Has Ah Sang changed his appearance now?"
Lok Wai-Jan said:
"Yes, in just over a month, he's changed a lot."
"He used to be skin and bones because he didn't have enough to eat, but now that he's well-nourished, he's completely a handsome little boy."
"He's so lovable."
"Not to mention Old Mother, even I want to keep him by my side more often."
Ho Man shook her head:
"That won't do. Ah Sang is at an age where he needs to study and can't waste time."
"This kid is good in every way, obedient and sensible, except that he easily beats up his classmates."
Shui Ling was startled:
"Why?"
Lok Wai-Jan said disapprovingly:
"Those classmates deserve a beating."
"Our children aren't for them to insult casually."
"The little rascal is quite ruthless with his hands, just like his father."
Shui Ling suddenly understood:
"Then it's fine."
Shui Ling was the former Chairman of Tung Sing, and her man, Liang Kun, was the current Chairman of Hung Hing. She was very calm about fighting and didn't think it was a big deal.
Ho Man and the other two women had high expectations for Tin Yeng-San, but they didn't always stop him from fighting.
If someone bullies you, you definitely have to fight back.
The three of them were against bullying the weak.
Shui Ling asked:
"How are the three of your jobs going?"
Ho Man sighed:
"The job of a school board member isn't that easy. Parents invest money and want their children to have a good status."
Shui Ling said in surprise:
"Shouldn't it be about giving their children a good learning environment?"
Ho Man shook her head:
"Parents aren't foolish. Some children are simply not cut out for studying; they enroll just for the prestige."
"Such children usually go abroad for a 'water master's' degree or something similar when they reach a certain age."
"Anyway, they don't have to worry about their jobs."
"The only request from such parents is that their children can safely get through this period."
"But with their families' promises, the children often cause trouble at school."
"Dismissing them isn't an option; we have to educate them through guidance, which is very headache-inducing."
Shui Ling smiled and said:
"Others indulge them because they rely on their funds to support the school, but you don't have to indulge them."
"No one dares to disrespect you."
Ho Man shook her head:
"I don't want to keep causing trouble for Ah Feng."
Shui Ling said earnestly: "Ah Min, you must remember."
"A woman is a man's face."
"You are not just a school board member. If your profession faces challenges, it's essentially a slap in Ah Feng's face."
"When it's time to fight back, you must fight back. Never let anyone look down on you."
"This is detrimental to Ah Feng."
Ho Man was startled:
"Is it that serious?"
Shui Ling said seriously:
"Yes!"
Ho Man pondered.
Shui Ling asked Lok Wai-Jan:
"Ah Zhen, is your career as a reporter going smoothly?"
Lok Wai-Jan giggled:
"I'm slowly reducing my frontline work and moving behind the scenes now."
Shui Ling became serious:
"Did someone at the TV station try to trip you up?"
Lok Wai-Jan pouted:
"My man is Lin Feng, who would dare?"
Shui Ling's expression softened:
"Then why move behind the scenes?"
Lok Wai-Jan smiled brightly:
"Ah Feng said he would set up a TV station soon and let me be the station Chief."
Ah?!
Shui Ling's expression froze, and she looked at her in disbelief:
"Set up a TV station to be the station Chief?"
"This..."
Immediately after, she became excited:
"This is great news."
"Has the TV station been bought?"
Lok Wai-Jan shrugged:
"Not yet!"
Shui Ling gently patted her forehead; she had been foolish.
Given the relationship between Liang Kun and Lin Feng, if a TV station had really been bought, wouldn't she know?
Fang Ting said:
"It's not that Ah Feng won't buy it, it's that the timing isn't right."
"The most crucial thing now is to execute Ah Feng's plan. Ah Feng's grand plan is interconnected."
"If the plan succeeds, Ah Zhen's TV station will naturally be acquired."
Shui Ling's eyes gleamed:
"What plan?"
Fang Ting whispered:
"It's the plan to deal with the Tycoon."
"But it's not just about dealing with the Tycoon; there are other people involved."
"Ah Feng hasn't explained the specific plan too clearly, but it's very big, that's for sure."
Actually, Fang Ting knew, but she didn't say.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Shui Ling, Ho Man, or Lok Wai-Jan; it was Fang Ting's instinct.
Shui Ling just mentioned it casually, and she really didn't ask for specifics.
Anyway, Lin Feng's plan had already begun, and their family would definitely have a share in its execution.
Neither she nor Liang Kun were professionals in this kind of thing, so why ask so many questions?
As long as they knew the plan was progressing smoothly, that was enough.
There was no need to step forward and cause trouble; just honestly share the money.
Shui Ling smiled and said:
"I think Ah Kun and Ah Feng will be busy tonight."
Ho Man asked, puzzled:
"Sister-in-law, what are they busy with?"
Shui Ling pursed her lips:
"Look, they each have a phone and are taking their respective calls."
"Ah Feng won't hog this kind of thing; he'll definitely pull everyone in together."
"You all should learn."
The three women were startled.
Shui Ling smiled and said:
"Eating alone can certainly fill you up, but it will cause strong resentment from others."
"Only by inviting everyone to eat together is the best way."
"When you eat someone's food, your mouth is short; when you take someone's things, your hands are soft."
"When they get rich with Ah Feng, it's equivalent to owing him a favor."
Shui Ling said meaningfully,
"In this world, free things are the most expensive!"

Chapter 396: A Boss Has to Manage Everything
The phone in Lin Feng's hand never stopped ringing.
"George, why are you calling me?"
However, this call still made him feel a bit unusual.
The call was from George of the Police Political Department.
George was very respectful.
"Mr. Lin, I heard you have a big investment."
Lin Feng chuckled casually:
"I have many investments here, which one are you asking about?"
George said seriously:
"I heard you recently made a big move targeting Tycoon."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Tycoon and I are enemies; I'm targeting him. Don't you know that?"
Lin Feng had never hidden such things from George.
In fact, such things couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to.
Lin Feng wouldn't do anything unreasonable.
George gritted his teeth and asked:
"Mr. Lin, can I also participate in your investment?"
Lin Feng said amusedly:
"You, a senior agent of the Anglo-Saxon Military Intelligence Agency, want to join my investment?"
George's heart leaped.
"Can I?"
Lin Feng refused bluntly:
"No!"
Even though George had anticipated this outcome, he still felt disappointed and couldn't help but ask:
"Why not?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I don't discriminate against Foreigners, but you should know my background."
"I hate drug dealers the most."
"And you have violated my taboo!"
George opened his mouth:
"Mr. Lin, I haven't dealt drugs…"
Lin Feng said expressionlessly:
"Do you think I don't know what you're doing?"
"Where did the drugs you provided to Sun Luen Shing come from before?"
"Now, where do the drugs you provide to Chung Yee Shun come from?"
"To be honest, I just don't have time right now."
"If I had time, I would definitely put a bounty out in the underworld. For every drug dealer, I'd hang one."
"You're being dishonest, trying every means to hide things from me, and you still want me to help you get rich?"
"You're dreaming!"
George hung up the phone dejectedly.
He failed!
As expected, he failed!
How did George know Lin Feng's plan?
He was, after all, the head of the Political Department, and the calls from a group of bosses were so active tonight.
A little eavesdropping was enough to hear that Lin Feng had another big project to get rich.
George didn't know the specifics of the project, but he knew that anything that made Lin Feng call all the Triad Chairmen couldn't be a small project.
Based on the intercepted content, George already understood that Lin Feng's investment vision was truly excellent.
But thinking about it, it wasn't surprising.
Lin Feng's sources of information were extraordinarily impressive; it wasn't strange for him to have exclusive information.
Exclusive information in the hands of ordinary people could at most only earn some pocket money.
But in Lin Feng's hands, it could make a fortune.
George's heart stirred at that moment.
He thought to himself that he had, after all, done business with Lin Feng several times, and this was also business, so why not call and ask?
He didn't expect Lin Feng to refuse so decisively.
George gritted his teeth, looking at the intelligence sent by Isa,
"Doesn't do business with drug dealers?"
"I'd like to see if you really don't do business with drug dealers?"
He checked names one by one, then slumped back in his seat, defeated.
Lin Feng really hadn't lied; he truly didn't do business with drug dealers.
Chung Yee Shun, Uncle Lin, Wong Bo, Jizo… none of them were on this list.
George sighed, speechless.
Lin Feng really kept his word, so he must have excluded himself from the circle of making money.
He was a bit unwilling!
George had wanted to call Lin Feng again and make a promise, but in the end, he never did.
Using seized drugs from the Police Station to control Triads was a strategy formulated by London.
Although he had ingratiated himself with the Cunningham Family because of Tycoon's affairs.
However, as long as Tycoon's matter wasn't concluded, this affair wouldn't be settled, and there were many variables.
Only when the matter was resolved and Cunningham's promise was fulfilled could he possibly be free from the Military Intelligence Agency.
Otherwise, if there was a sudden change, he could easily be purged by London.
George thought of this, sighed deeply, and ultimately dared not call again.
How frustrating!
"Ah Feng, why do you look so bad?"
"Who called you?"
Liang Kun had just finished a call and immediately noticed his younger brother's expression.
Lin Feng sneered:
"George called me."
Liang Kun frowned deeply:
"That Foreigner from the Police Political Department?"
"Why did he call you?"
"Does he want to scheme against you?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"He wanted to hitch a ride with us."
"How could I give him such an opportunity?"
Liang Kun was surprised:
"He also wants to join your money-making plan?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Brother Kun, Foreigners are people too, and they are greedier than us."
"They traveled thousands of miles across half the globe to rake in money."
"Not to serve Hong Kong citizens."
"My reputation precedes me; it's normal for them to want a piece of the action, isn't it?"
Liang Kun was a bit worried:
"Foreigners are not easy to deal with. Is everything alright?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"It's fine!"
Liang Kun was even more worried:
"Really nothing?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"What could possibly happen?"
Liang Kun looked very serious,
"Your plan targets Tycoon. Although the Tycoon Group is weak now, the weak side is only the Tycoon faction; the shareholders of the Tycoon Group are not weak at all."
"George knows our plan. Is it really fine?"
Lin Feng said leisurely:
"George is a senior agent of the Anglo-Saxon Military Intelligence Agency; I'm not surprised he knows our plan."
"After all, we called so many bosses of the Triads."
"I'd be surprised if George didn't know about this."
"Actually, it doesn't matter."
Liang Kun smiled bitterly:
"If only you could share some of your confidence with me."
Lin Feng comforted him:
"Brother Kun, business warfare is just like fighting for our lives in the Triad."
"You can't lose your momentum."
"Whoever loses momentum loses more than half the battle."
"We've come this far by fighting for our lives."
"Now that it's time to fight for our lives, are you afraid?"
Liang Kun rolled his eyes hard.
If he could win simply by fighting for his life, what the hell would he be afraid of?
Having been in the underworld for over a decade, who hadn't fought for their lives to get to where they were now?
The key was that every profession was a world apart.
How could it be so easy to do?
Lin Feng continued:
"Things aren't as complicated as you imagine."
"George and Cunningham set a trap for Tycoon, and that's how they caught him."
"They want Tycoon to be gone forever even more than we do."
"If Tycoon were to return unscathed, with his prestige in Hong Kong's business circles, a comeback wouldn't be difficult."
There are many such examples.
For instance, the brain-dead advertisement for 'Naobaijin' that troubled Lin Feng in his previous life was a product of Shi Yuzhu's re-employment after being laid off.
This boss experienced three ups and downs, truly a legend.
"If Tycoon really came back, it would be George and Cunningham who couldn't sleep at night, not others."
"He wants Tycoon dead more than we do."
"Even if he knows I'm targeting Tycoon, even if I don't agree to his investment, he will only cooperate and not cause us trouble."
Liang Kun was immediately relieved to hear this.
If he were in George's shoes, he would also prioritize cooperating with Lin Feng's actions.
No other reason than that it would bring peace of mind.
Ding-a-ling!
Lin Feng shook the phone,
"It's Brother Bao."
Liang Kun's spirits lifted:
"Brother Bao called too?"
Liang Kun had long known Dai Kuen Pao's true identity.
This person was much higher up than the Foreigner.
"Brother Bao, any instructions?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Dai Kuen Pao laughed heartily:
"Mr. Lin, I heard you have a big operation these days. Is there anything I can help with?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Brother Bao is a good friend."
"Of course, the more business, the better."
"However, I have to be honest with you."
"For the first deal, I've almost raised enough funds, so even if you want to join, the returns won't be much."
Dai Kuen Pao said sincerely:
"We don't care about the amount of profit; we just purely want to help Mr. Lin."
When Dai Kuen Pao said this, he was truly heartfelt.
Not to mention Lin Feng's series of actions in his Mainland, just the intelligence he provided to his Mainland benefited it greatly.
His Mainland's character was like this: repay kindness with kindness, and enmity with enmity.
If a friend was in trouble, they had to help no matter what.
"That's not necessary."
"However, there's another deal, with huge profits."
"I think you'll like it."
Dai Kuen Pao said in surprise:
"What business?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"HSBC!"
Hiss!
Dai Kuen Pao was startled:
"HSBC, the one that issues hong kong dollar?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:
"So, are you interested?"
Dai Kuen Pao immediately said:
"Can I think about it?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Of course, but time is quite tight. It's best to give me an answer before the day after tomorrow."
Dai Kuen Pao didn't waste words and immediately hung up the phone.
Liang Kun chuckled:
"Brother Bao went to ask for instructions from above, didn't he?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Of course, his main business isn't this."
"He naturally has to go and consult."
Liang Kun looked deeply at Lin Feng:
"Your appetite is truly enormous, kid."
Lin Feng asked:
"Doesn't Big Brother want to eat?"
Liang Kun scoffed,
"The bold get stuffed, the timid starve."
"You're my brother. If you want to take risks, I'll definitely join you."
"We're brothers for life, why even say such things?"
The two bumped fists, everything unspoken.
Lin Feng remembered something:
"Why does Mr. Chiang always come in the middle of the night?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Coincidence, I suppose."
"Later, I'll ask him why he always comes in the middle of the night."
Before they could wait for Chiang Tin-Yeung, Bu Tonglin and Xiao He arrived instead.
"Brother Feng, Boss Ding, I'll take Xiao He back first."
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"Back?"
"Why go back?"
Bu Tonglin said blankly:
"It's getting a bit late. If we don't go back soon, it will be inconvenient."
Liang Kun looked at Lin Feng in astonishment:
"Is this the junior you took in?"
Lin Feng gave him an annoyed look:
"Is there something wrong with my junior being pure-hearted?"
Turning his head, he said to Xiao He,
"Sister-in-law, as you can see, Ah Bu is very naive. He doesn't even know what it means for a girl to be willing to stroll with him late at night, or to travel with him."
"Although this guy is a blockhead, we big brothers are not."
"Don't go back tonight."
"Going to the Outlying Islands at this hour, isn't that ridiculous?"
"My house is big, so you two will stay at my place tonight."
Bu Tonglin was stunned, vaguely feeling that he had handled things incorrectly.
Xiao He thought for a moment and said:
"Brother Feng, how about I stay at a hotel tonight...?"
Lin Feng immediately refused:
"What kind of talk is that?"
"If others found out, they'd think my Lin Feng's house is too small to accommodate the two of you."
Lin Feng didn't allow them to refuse and called Lok Wai-Jan over,
"Ah Zhen, take them to our guest rooms. Let them choose whichever room they want to stay in."
Lok Wai-Jan looked at Bu Tonglin, then at Xiao He, and inexplicably showed an auntie's smile.
Xiao He, unlike Bu Tonglin, knew exactly what Lin Feng meant and said with great embarrassment:
"Brother Feng, really no need, we can just stay at a hotel."
Bu Tonglin was surprised, stay at a hotel?
Weren't they going to take her back to the Outlying Islands?
Lok Wai-Jan said seriously:
"How can a hotel be as comfortable as home?"
"Our guest rooms are on seven floors,"
"I personally recommend you choose the top floor, where you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire Hong Kong."
"It's settled then."
"Come on, come on, I'll take you back."
Lok Wai-Jan, without question, pulled Xiao He along, and she even walked two steps faster on purpose.
Just as Bu Tonglin was about to follow, Lin Feng called out to him:
"Silly boy, don't you understand what that girl means?"
"You must win her over tonight."
"If you two dare to sleep separately, I'll train with you all day tomorrow."
Bu Tonglin asked in astonishment:
"Brother Feng, you're not tricking me, are you?"
Liang Kun sighed:
"You truly disgrace our Mong Kok lineage."
"Which one of us from Mong Kok isn't a master at picking up girls?"
"You've already got the girl in your hands, yet you're still being so coy, it's really something!"
Bu Tonglin scratched his head:
"I've got her in my hands?"
Liang Kun slapped his forehead:
"You're so skilled, kid, but how can you be so innocent?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Alright, let me tell you a story."
"One day, a man and a woman went on a trip together. It got late and they needed to stay at an inn, but by chance, there was only one room."
"The man thought to himself that if he shared a room with the woman, it would ruin her reputation."
"The woman was very open-minded and told him, 'As long as we're both innocent, that's all that matters. Anyway, I trust you.'"
"So the two checked in."
"When they went to sleep, the woman drew an imaginary line on the bed and told the man,"
"'If you cross this line, you're a beast.'"
At this point, Lin Feng asked Bu Tonglin,
"If you were that man, what would you do?"
Bu Tonglin said matter-of-factly:
"I'd definitely sleep soundly. Didn't the girl say so?"
Lin Feng said expressionlessly:
"That night, the man tossed and turned, unable to sleep. With a beautiful woman sleeping next to him, how could he fall asleep so easily?"
"He finally managed to fall asleep."
"When he woke up the next day, he fully expected to be praised by the woman, but who knew..."
Bu Tonglin listened intently and asked:
"What happened?"
Lin Feng's lips curled slightly,
"Who knew the woman gave him a slap without hesitation."
Bu Tonglin exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but ask:
"Why?"
Lin Feng mocked:
"The woman said, 'I'm a beautiful woman right next to you, and you don't even move.'"
"'You're worse than a beast!'"
Bu Tonglin was dumbfounded.
Liang Kun held his stomach and laughed heartily.
He knew it.
Lin Feng, being so lustful, how could he advise against lust?
"Do you understand now, silly boy?"
"The girl is willing to sleep in the same room as you, yet you're being coy and not a man."
"Hurry and follow your Sister-in-law's lead."
"If you're worse than a beast tonight, I'll break your legs tomorrow."
Bu Tonglin, blushing, agreed and quickly ran off.
Liang Kun laughed even more unrestrainedly, vigorously patting the armrest:
"I like this guy!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"The juniors here are good in every way, except when it comes to matters of men and women, they give me trouble."
"Xiao Fu, Jian Jun, Jianguo, Ah Jie, Tin Hung, they're all like this, and you see Ah Bu is the same."
Liang Kun quickly interrupted him:
"Tin Hung is a seven-times-a-night man, he's not like that."
Lin Feng scoffed.
"How is Tin Hung not like that?"
"If Jian Jun hadn't had Chicken throw a Sai Sai Lap into his house, do you think Tin Hung would be single now?"
Liang Kun thought about it and realized it was true.
Axe Jun had a wife early on, and a lovely daughter.
Li Fu's awakening was also helped by Lin Feng.
Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo simply didn't want to find partners here.
Li Jie still missed his deceased wife and couldn't move on.
Thinking about it this way, the true successor of their Mong Kok lineage had to be Chicken.
Liang Kun's face turned green.
Chicken's style was very similar to his own; he also needed two 'fire extinguishers' with him every day.
"No, I need to have a serious talk with Siu Gai."
"If they catch some dirty disease, that would be troublesome."
Lin Feng murmured:
"Didn't I tell you, lust is truly a big problem?"
Liang Kun scoffed,
"Lust is not the problem."
"Daring to do something but not daring to take responsibility, that's the big problem."
Lin Feng didn't want to argue with Liang Kun about these things, so he proactively changed the subject:
"Is there any movement from Chung Yee Shun?"
Liang Kun was startled:
"You want to make a move against Chung Yee Shun?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Chung Yee Shun will collapse on its own; why should I dirty my hands?"
"Do you have any news?"
Liang Kun shook his head:
"No."
"The news I got is that Chung Yee Shun is very stable."
"Anyway, the daily Triad brief Ah Yao gives me doesn't describe any crisis for Chung Yee Shun."
"The behavior of several important figures of Chung Yee Shun, such as Lin Ho-lung, Su Su, and Lin Ho-tung, shows no abnormalities."
"Where did you hear that Chung Yee Shun is about to collapse?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"It seems my judgment was not wrong; Chung Yee Shun is about to collapse."
He looked at Liang Kun's puzzled expression and explained the situation.
Liang Kun suddenly remembered:
"I remember you told me after you came back from Macau,"
"At the time, I didn't believe it."
"Lin Ho-tung was raised by Lin Ho-lung and Su Su, how could he not mediate their relationship?"
"It seems... this guy has great ambition."
Liang Kun's expression was unusually cold,
"Why keep such a selfish guy around?"
"No matter what the outcome for Chung Yee Shun, I will definitely kill him."
