Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 235 12: Lust is a knife above your head
"I'm ashamed. I even cheated my best friend out of her body!"

"It's inhumane!"

"Big sister, you are a half-service, just accompanying the drinking, I am a full-service! I earn money from sex, I have money to support gangsters, but I don't have money to pay for the car fare, you have no humanity!"

"Okay! Since you treated me to the barbecue, I'll pay for the transportation this time."

"If I remember correctly, you had three tables that night, and the table fees were paid weekly, but the tips from the guests went into your little wallet. What were you saving money for?"

"You're not going to be so desperate as to pay for the mortgage, are you?"

As a female pervert, Meimei heard that there was a handsome guy and she could have a midnight snack with him, and both her mouths would be taken care of. Of course, she couldn't miss such a good thing.

But she was a little curious. Her best friend's stage fee for one night was at least 700 or 800 yuan. Although she kept a gigolo, the income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month was enough for the two of them to eat and drink delicious food in Hong Kong. There was no reason for them to be so embarrassed.

"My apartment is less than 30 square feet and there are seven people living in it. I can only lie on the sofa when I go back. I don't have a mortgage, so how can I get married?"

"Can you be a dancing lady forever? Don't be ridiculous! When you are old and ugly, Mommy will be the first to kick you out. If you don't keep some of your savings, will you really beg for food from Big Sister like Ah Qiang said?"

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense. What have you packed?"

"Pack up! Let's go!"

Shu Ting put the cigarette case and lighter on the dressing table into her backpack, and urged Meimei, who was already dressed up, to hurry up.

"It's time to kill me! Let's go!"

Meimei put on her coat, took Shu Ting's arm and walked out of the dressing room.

The two men left the Rich Man Nightclub and took a taxi to Feng Ji Roast Goose Restaurant. After entering the store, they asked where the stairs were. After confirming the direction, the two men twisted and turned to go up to the second floor.

Huanxi didn't like drinking in the first place, so after drinking two glasses, he stopped drinking and focused on eating his midnight snack while listening to Bi Shiqiang bragging about his experiences in Hollywood.

The farthest he had been was to Macau and he had never even been on a plane. He had never seen the glamorous world that Bi Shiqiang talked about, so he listened with great fascination. But just when he was getting into the mood, he saw two beautiful women walking up the stairs.

Bi Shiqiang, who was chattering nonstop, also heard the footsteps. He turned his head towards the stairs and found Shu Ting and Mei Mei had arrived. He quickly stood up, staggered to Shu Ting's side, hugged Shu Ting and kissed her.

"Good brother, this is my girl, the future big star of my film and television company."

"I'm not exaggerating. I did find a beautiful lady."

"This beautiful lady is called Meimei, the rich man's female wine god who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. She came over specially tonight when she heard that a handsome guy was here. Good brother, please take good care of Sister Meimei."

Bi Shiqiang was a little drunk and introduced it to Huanxi with a red face.

From the first moment he saw Shu Ting, he was so happy that he didn't even notice Meimei beside Shu Ting. However, he reacted quickly, coughed twice awkwardly, then picked up the glass and took a sip of beer to cover up his embarrassment.

"So it's Sister-in-law Qiang. I've heard of you for a long time. I always hear Brother Qiang mention you."

"Sister Meimei, I've heard that the rich man has a female wine god, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Meimei. I'm so happy to meet you all today. I'll pay for today's meal."

"Please take a seat."

Bi Shiqiang, Shu Ting and Mei Mei sat down. They continued to drink and chat, looking into the future. However, they looked at Shu Ting with joy from time to time, unable to hold back.

Chi Mengli, who had slept in the classroom all night, was woken up early in the morning. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that it was Taohuamei who was holding a clipboard and knocking on the railing.

"As expected of a villain, he can sleep so soundly in the cell. I admire you so much!"

"The coffee cup you broke yesterday was my cup, a high-end one among high-end products. You have to compensate me, otherwise I will not sign your record."

Taohuamei had a pair of panda eyes, yawned constantly, and spoke weakly.

Although he was in the classroom, this was indeed the most comfortable sleep Chi Mengli had had in recent times. He even considered coming in every now and then to stay for a while to replenish his energy.

"Sir, you haven't asked me yet?"

Chi Mengli wanted to smoke, but he found that he had nothing to smoke, not even his belt, as everything had been taken away. He could only stand up, walk up to Taohuamei and ask.

Taohuamei took out an unopened box of Hongwan and opened the outer packaging. She found that the Shoubainian ladies' mint cigarettes she smoked were only sold in a few stores. The convenience store near the Wan Chai headquarters did not sell them, so they could only sell a pack of Hongwan Dingding.

"Everyone calls me Peach Blossom Girl, you can call me Lei Sir. We will definitely interact more in the future. Ding Gou has been promoted to be in charge of the entire Yau Tsim Mong. From now on, Yau Ma Tei will be in charge of me."

When Taohuamei thought about having to work all year round and facing these disgusting gangsters all day long, she regretted being a police officer. She sighed continuously and put a red Wan in her mouth.

"Mr. Lei, don't sigh. I can assure you that Yau Ma Tei will be very lively in the future. My name is Chi Mengli. Now we know each other. Can you give me a cigarette before you let me go?"

Chi Mengli leaned on the railing and looked at Taohuamei, hoping that this female sir could give him a cigarette.

"We are all in the same boat, so I will be merciful today. However, your lawyer is waiting in the lobby. If you are not in a hurry, then I am not in a hurry either. It's not bad to look at a handsome guy a few more times."

Taohuamei threw the Hong Wanyan cigarette to Chi Mengli in the classroom, lit it for herself first, and then passed it to her future main opponent.

A cigarette after getting up is better than drinking from two living gods.

Nicotine entered Chi Mengli's body, and he suddenly sobered up. He said indifferently: "My lawyer is not one of those crappy lawyers in the society. He is a senior talent in the Daluo Law Firm."

"He charges by the hour. If it's less than two hours, he will still charge me for two hours. I might as well let him wait a little longer. I can get my money's worth."

Among Taohuamei's relatives, there is a big lawyer, so of course she knows the price of a top lawyer. She shrugged helplessly and said nothing. The two of them smoked and did nothing on the other side of the railing.

After finishing his cigarette, Chi Mengli put on his suit jacket, followed Taohuamei out of the classroom and into the hall.

He was surprised to find that his personal lawyer did not arrive, but a tall, hot beauty came instead.

"Mr. Chi, I'm Mr. Zhang's intern assistant. My name is Zhou Fan. He has to appear in court this morning. It's a charity case. He has to be there as the witness, so he sent me to pick you up."

"The formalities have been completed, just sign it."

Zhou Fan first gave a brief self-introduction and then handed over the release documents.

"Go back and tell Zhang Lu that if you don't want to come next time, just give him a call. There's no need to send a pretty girl over for me to feast my eyes on."

Chi Mengli took Zhou Fan's signature pen, signed his name on the document, and then used the lining of his suit to wipe the pen clean from top to bottom before returning it.

When you go out, be careful first.

Bocai Dong, who was standing nearby, saw that everything was settled and said unhappily, "Brother Sheng, should we consider changing to another law firm? The consulting fee is tens of thousands of yuan a month, and we have to pay Zhang a salary of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan."

"When something goes wrong, they only send an intern to deal with it. Isn't this too easy to make money?"

Chi Mengli didn't say anything, but just took back her personal belongings from the policeman. After everything was settled, she said, "I broke Mr. Lei's coffee cup. Please help me compensate Mr. Lei with a cup."

"If Mr. Lei doesn't want it, donate it to the police's foundation in Mr. Lei's name."

"Adong, stop talking. I would be angry if Zhang Lu didn't participate in charity because of me."

"I'm hungry. I had a roast goose bento yesterday. Huaxing Ice House is nearby. Let's go get some satay beef buns. Let's go!"

"Ms. Zhou, it's still early. You don't have to go back to work. Can we have dinner together?"

Interrupting Bo Xidong's complaints, Chi Mengli looked at Zhou Fan who was standing beside him and politely invited him.

"Thank you. I haven't had my morning tea yet. Thank you Mr. Chi for your hospitality."

It was indeed still early, and if Zhou Fan didn't go back to the law firm, he had nowhere to go, so why not go for morning tea together.

Lawyers do business with rich people. She still has one year to complete her internship and obtain her attorney certification. If she wants to continue working at Daluo Law Firm and have an independent office, she will need to have enough clients.

The annual performance target is one million.

This is indeed a big challenge for Zhou Fan, so the community business will be her main target.

Chi Mengli said hello to Taohuamei and swaggered out of the police's Wan Chai headquarters.

The Volvo 240 sedan was parked just opposite the Wan Chai headquarters. Xizai, who was leaning against the car, saw Chi Mengli coming out, and quickly threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and opened the back door.

"Miss Zhou, ride in the same car with me, it will be more comfortable."

Chi Mengli asked Zhou Fan to get in the car first, and then he drove around and sat in the back seat.

Bocaidong didn't drive here, so he got into the passenger seat and told Xizai to drive to Huaxing Ice House.

"Miss Zhou, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

After taking out a cigarette case and a bottle of Double Happiness from his suit pocket, Chi Mengli realized that there was someone else around him, so he quickly asked.

"No problem! Chi Sheng, please feel free to do as you please."

Zhou Fan gave a polite smile and said it was okay.

Chi Mengli smiled, lit the Double Happiness in his hand, and said, "I have been working with Lawyer Zhang for a long time, and I am very satisfied. Please tell Lawyer Zhang when you go back that I think the progress of the foundation is a bit slow now, and I hope it can be accelerated."

"Also, a friend transferred a minibus company to me. I want to merge several minibus companies under my name and set up a passenger transport company, a passenger transport company for all routes in Hong Kong." "I won't call Lawyer Zhang. Please tell Lawyer Zhang my idea, Ms. Zhou."

"Also, the site application of Pioneer Advertising Company needs to be expedited. I hope to have bus waiting areas all over Kowloon Island within this year."

"Just ask him to tell me the exact amount of money that needs to be spent."

"The employment contracts of waste disposal companies also need to be improved to clearly define responsibilities, and the commercial service contracts signed with merchants also need to be re-regulated."

"There are so many communities, restaurants, nightclubs, and stalls that need garbage cleanup now. I decided to implement more targeted contracts. For example, among the garbage from nightclubs, there are glass bottles, and many garbage also contains dangerous items such as broken knives and syringes."

“There must be more targeted contracts to clarify each other’s responsibilities.”

"Also, I went to a waste treatment plant a while ago and I found that the workers were working without wearing protective masks, protective clothing or gloves."

"These must be written into the employment contract to indicate that the factory will fire workers for not following the rules."

"That's all for now. I'll let Lawyer Zhang know when I think of something else."

Chi Mengli told Zhou Fan, who was sitting next to her, all the problems she had seen recently and asked her to tell Zhang Dazhuang and ask him to make adjustments as soon as possible.

Seeing that there were a lot of questions, Zhou Fan quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down all the boss's needs on the paper.

After Chi Mengli and a few others had breakfast at Huaxing Ice House, he did not return to Mingzhu Apartment. Instead, he asked Xizi to take him to the Sheraton Hotel and then to take Zhou Fan to the law firm. Before completely solving the problem with Yuan Qingbei, he first booked two long private rooms at the Sheraton Hotel.

The lobby manager of the Sheraton Hotel, of course, knew Chi Mengli, the underworld celebrity in Yau Tsim Mong. He did not mention the rule of only entertaining foreigners. He happily accepted the check handed over by the underworld celebrity and gave him a 20% to 40% discount.

Hong Kong is a money-oriented society. As long as you have enough money, you can buy services that ordinary people can't even imagine.

Sitting on the sofa, Chi Mengli flipped through the newspaper in his hand and found that the headline on the front page was not the thunder at the Kowloon Funeral Home, but that Xie Xian had a new girlfriend. He put down the newspaper with satisfaction and fell in love with this international city with developed entertainment.

"Brother Sheng, Bei Feng has already boarded the ship. He will probably never return to Hong Kong."

Bo Xidong sat on the Italian handmade sofa, yawned out of boredom, and continued: "Last night, we had a big card game at O'Kee. We didn't go to any other clubs' places, we only went to our club's place."

"Several boatmen were captured. I have notified the community lawyers and asked them to redeem them. After they are released, each of them will be given a big cow to ensure that they have no complaints. The big water pipes have also been arranged. Everyone is satisfied."

"Brother Sheng, I heard that the Hongmen Conference is about to start. Do we need to grab the long red?"

"You don't need to do anything this time. I will take care of it. I promise to help Brother Sheng get Changhong and hang it in the mahjong hall, so that our hall will also be majestic."

All the gangsters in Hong Kong are looking forward to the Hongmen Conference. How could Bo Xidong, who has the innate martial arts body, be an exception? He also wants to see the big scene.

"Pull the street! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing the brainless remarks of his trusted henchman, Chi Mengli also felt a headache, then put down the newspaper in his hand and explained: "Changhong is hung in the Zi Tou Tuo land, not in the Tang Kou Tuo land."

"If Lao Ding heard this, he would definitely teach you a lesson."

"I don't think you want to keep doing it. You want to start a new business and rebel."

"We do have a share in this Hongmen Conference, but competing for Changhong requires financial strength, while competing for Dingcaipao requires fists."

"I asked you to invite the Bangkok boxing champion back. It cost a lot of money every month. I asked the Bangkok boxing champion to teach the henchmen how to practice boxing. Did you find any good talents?"

The Hongmen Conference is divided into two parts. The first part is to compete for long-term success. In the Hong Kong underworld, there are two ways to compete for long-term success. One is the long-term success at the Hongmen Conference, and the second is the Hong Kong Young and Dangerous Annual Meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

These two long-running reds are very different, and the competition is about financial strength and prestige.

If you have enough prestige, you can use the least amount of money to make the final decision, but if you don't have enough prestige, you will have to spend a lot of money.

It is not so easy to become famous in front of the big bosses and leaders!

"Brother Sheng, you know that there are no thugs in the water room. Everyone in the underworld knows that there are no traitors in the water room!"

"There are a few decent ones, but their understanding is so poor that they can't even beat me. It would be embarrassing if they go out."

Ever since Bo Xidong took over the boxing gym, there have been complaints. The guys from the housing estates who came over are all not up to the mark and only know how to brag and talk nonsense. They haven't even learned any fancy moves. Letting these losers attend the Hongmen conference will only bring shame to the gym.

"The Hongmen Conference will be held in five days. Lao Ding has already said that Gao Laofa and I will lead the team, and Che Wang, Boxing King Sheng, Lan Ming, and Lan Mingde will cooperate. We don't know how many thugs each gang will send out yet."

"You need to keep an eye on the boxing gym. When the boxing bar grows in the future, the boxing gym will be turned into a training camp to gather all the boxers in Hong Kong who want to make a name for themselves. As long as they don't have a criminal record, they can participate."

"This is a good way to make money. You have to keep an eye on it."

Chi Mengli was helpless. He really didn't have many capable fighters under his command. The Water House had indeed not produced many talents in recent years. The Yau Ma Tei Gang couldn't even find a decent fighter. After thinking for a while, he said, "Are there any famous boxers in Kowloon Walled City now?"

"When we rob Dingcai's cannon, we will definitely kill him without mercy. It would be nice to find a few borrowed soldiers to serve as scapegoats."

"Brother Sheng, of course we have, but if people knew that we were borrowing troops to attend the Hongmen Conference, we would lose all our face."

"Why not just me, Xizi, Hesheng, and Hei Ah Hu? There are four people from the Yau Ma Tei gang, and that's a lot of people. Even if Lao Ding asks about it, he won't be able to find any reason."

If my friends in the underworld knew that I was borrowing soldiers to participate in the Hongmen Conference, they would definitely laugh at me for having no talented people in the water room.

This is the critical moment of Xiangduo. Even if it means vomiting blood, you have to hold on.

Bo Xidong has been looking forward to this kind of grand occasion for many years, but he will never allow his road to fame to have any stain.

"That's it, you better hold on. It's better to lose face than to lose your life."

"But if you want to become famous in the martial arts world, you can't do it without working hard."

Chi Mengli sighed, took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa, preparing to take a good bath and relax.

"Oh, right! Brother Sheng, Huanxi is back. He called me and said he wanted to meet you. He said on the phone that he had a brother who had discovered a way to make money and needed capital, and wanted to see if you were interested."

"Also, Coke's boss wants to meet you, have a meal with you, and talk about business."

"Mr. Wen and Mr. Wang both want to meet you. Mr. Wang wants to meet you because he also wants to go to Shau Kei Wan to do real estate business and wants to cooperate."

"As for Wen Sheng, it's about a chain of seafood supermarkets. The loss rate of goods has been a bit high recently. A batch of goods has been lost by at least 25%. I suspect someone tampered with it."

Bocaidong was also a little tired and was about to go to the private room next door to take a nap, but when he reached the front door, he suddenly remembered that he had a lot of things to say, so he said them all in one breath.

Chi Mengli, who originally wanted to take a shower, felt a bit of a headache when he heard that there were a lot of bad things waiting for him to deal with. But they were all about business, so even if he wanted to get angry, he had no place to vent.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since it's a small matter, don't disturb Wensheng from fishing. Tell Wensheng that I will take care of the damage. If there is a thief in the house, I will deal with it."

"Let's have dinner together tonight, Mr. Wang. Let's order the same Ningbo restaurant we ate at last time. The food is delicious and very unique."

"Coke's boss is going to meet me at noon tomorrow. The female boss of the film company must like the foreign style. We're meeting at the Western restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel."

"I have time this afternoon. Let Huanxi come to see me and bring his brother who has a good way to make money."

"What?"

"If I'm done, I'll take a refreshing bath and then have a good nap."

"Brother Dong!"

Wen Hailiang was only worried about business and didn't really want to meet me. He now took the initiative and treated me as his lackey.

For the sake of money, Chi Mengli endured it. His two most profitable sources of income both required Wen Hailiang's supply of seafood. If Wen Hailiang cut off his supply, neither business would be successful.

The feeling of being caught by someone is very terrible.

However, the two main seafood producing areas closest to Hong Kong are Australia and Japan.

There are countless pits in these two main production areas, and it is difficult to deal with them overnight.

Wen Hailiang's family has been working in the sea for more than a dozen generations. They have lost countless lives in the seafood business. It takes more than a decade to gain experience and build relationships.

Without a huge amount of cash, it would be impossible to suppress this old fox.

Wen Hailiang is not the only one doing seafood freight business in Hong Kong, but how could other companies give up their money-making opportunities to outsiders? Top-quality seafood is in short supply and there is no shortage of sellers.

All Chi Mengli can do now is to endure. What can he do if he can't endure it if he is not strong enough!

He is not a child anymore, no one can comfort him if he goes crazy!
Mr. Wang’s plan was relatively simple. He saw the future development potential of Shau Kei Wan and wanted to develop Shau Kei Wan.

However, if one wants to develop Shau Kei Wan, all the wooden houses in Shau Kei Wan must be cleared away. Customers who can afford high-end seafront apartments do not want to live around unstable factors, as this will affect housing prices.

This matter could be big or small, and Young Master Wang could handle it himself, but he was afraid of tarnishing his reputation, so he decided to spend a little money and hire someone to do the dirty work.

Chi Mengli also wants to enter Shau Kei Wan. The land price in Shau Kei Wan is low now, and the capital cost for development is low.

Therefore, Eight Fingers must charge into Shau Kei Wan. Yau Ma Tei is a fort, responsible for blocking the wind and rain in the front, and Shau Kei Wan is the retreat route, ensuring his lifelong wealth and prosperity.
