Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 228 Qian Wendi and Gao Da: We're all handsome guys, so why are you the one showing off like this?

Qian Wendi and Gao Da stood up together and politely greeted everyone.

Chen Shixian's casual remark instantly stunned everyone present.

Everyone turned their gaze to the two handsome young men.

They were all stunned, speechless with shock, their jaws agape.

A master gambler named Wendi Qian and a young gambling god named Gao Da appeared before everyone in such a fresh and vibrant way.

He actually obeyed Chen Shixian's every command.

This is so unreal.

Ma Wenfeng was completely stunned, and her voice rose eight octaves uncontrollably: "You...you're Qian Wendi, the King of Gamblers! You're Gao Da, the Prodigal Son?!"

"That's right, I am Qian Wendi, the King of Gamblers."

Qian Wendi showed no humility whatsoever.

Gao Da, on the other hand, smiled politely and nonchalantly, saying, "These are just elegant nicknames given by people in the underworld; they're nothing to mention!"

Qian Wendi and Gao Da's self-introductions instantly petrified Ma Wenfeng, leaving her speechless.

Seeing her like this, Chen Shixian continued, "Miss Ma, you're right. The most important thing for a casino is to have a master strategist in charge."

"With two experts like Wendi Qian and Gao Da here, isn't that enough?"

Ma Wenfeng was almost going crazy.

Even if Wendi and Gao Da had all the money in her casino, it wouldn't be enough for them to beat each other.

How can we even argue about this?
Fortunately, she still had one last trump card.

She gritted her teeth and took out a contract:
"Distinguished directors, this is the contract I signed with Mr. Senster. As the representative of the partner in the White Stone Island project, he has already decided to entrust the project to me."

"Sensor's trust and support for me is the best proof that I have the ability to do a good job on the Baishidao project."

Ma Wenfeng clapped her hands, the conference room door opened, and her assistant led Senster in.

"Distinguished directors, I am Senster, the Hong Kong Island manager of the White Stone Island project. I believe Ms. Ma is very trustworthy, and I have assigned her to handle this project."

Senster walked in, smiling at everyone.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Senster."

After Ma Wenfeng finished speaking, she looked at Guo Kailin triumphantly: "Karina, with a talented assistant like Mr. Chen, I believe you can definitely help me make Baishi Island a great success."

"As for the details, we can discuss them privately and handle them internally."

Ma Wenfeng meant that she would make some concessions, continuing to lead the project but agreeing to let Guo Kailin and Chen Shixian participate.

Even now, she still acts superior and like she's in charge.

The neutral board members exchanged glances, because since the partners had already specified their candidates, what choice did they have?

Ma Wenfeng and Guo Kailin are sworn enemies.

However, once the project is signed, it belongs to the group.

Even though Ma Wenfeng's backer, Ge Baishi, has lost his influence, she is in charge of leading the project, and Guo Kailin still has to cooperate. Everything is for the sake of the group.

Ma Wenfeng gave Guo Kailin a provocative look; this was an open secret, and there was no way to counter it.

I refuse to believe that Guo Kailin won't compromise.

"Mr. Senster, are you sure you want to appoint my sister, Ma Wenfeng, to do this project?"

Guo Kailin remained calm and smiled as she looked at Senster.

"Sure!"

“I suggest that Ms. Ma Wenfeng be in charge of the Baishidao project.”

Senster's tunnel was decisive.

"Sorry, I don't accept this suggestion!"

Guo Kailin finished speaking with a firm attitude.

Then, with a calm expression, he snapped his fingers, and the door was pushed open again. A Portuguese man, followed by two attendants, walked in.

"Mr. Susen!"

When Senster saw Su Sen, he was full of surprise, then he stepped forward respectfully and greeted him.

"Sensor, headquarters already knows what you did in Hong Kong. You can fly there this afternoon."

Susen gave the order with a stern face and an impatient tone.

Upon hearing this, Senster's face turned ashen, and he nodded with a deathly pale expression. He glanced at Ma Wenfeng and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Ma."

After saying that, he quietly left the meeting room.

The sudden turn of events left all the directors and shareholders in the conference room stunned, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

This series of twists and turns, ups and downs, left me completely bewildered.

Su Sen faced the crowd and slowly said, "Excuse me, everyone, I am Su Sen, Senster's superior."

"Next, I will take over the Baishidao project."

As he spoke, he took a file folder from his subordinate and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the new contract I signed with Ms. Guo Kailin."

“I’ve designated her to work with us on this project.”

“I believe she is fully capable of doing this job.”

Su Sen finished speaking.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Ma Wenfeng's expression changed drastically. She was utterly shocked and looked at Guo Kailin in disbelief, then at Chen Shixian.

"Lost..."

She was completely stunned, slumped in her chair, and stared blankly into space.

Inside the conference room, Zhang Zhenhong and the other supporters of the Ma family all sighed and lamented, knowing full well that even if they fully supported Ma Wenfeng, the Baishi Island project was out of her reach.

Since Guo Kailin has a contract with Mr. Su Sen and the support of a generous man like Chen Shixian, she is quite capable.

It has experts in security and gambling; it's incredibly comprehensive.

Even if Ge Baishi hadn't been eliminated, their competitiveness would still have been insufficient.

Moreover, Ma Wenfeng's situation is now like a joke.

Thinking of this, the directors sighed deeply, their faces filled with despair.

This time, it was truly unstoppable, and there was no way to turn the tide.

Once Guo Kailin secures the Baishidao project, the Guo family's influence within the group will surge.

In the future, the Guo family will rule the country.

Guo Shichang smiled slightly as he looked at Guo Kailin and praised her generously, "Kailin, you did an excellent job today."

After saying that, Guo Shichang's gaze swept over everyone: "Distinguished directors, I believe you all already have a suitable candidate in mind regarding the selection of the person in charge of the Baishi Island project."

"Now, let's begin the vote. Those who agree that my eldest daughter, Ma Wenfeng, should be in charge, please raise your hands!"

As soon as Guo Shichang finished speaking, Zhang Zhenhong and a group of veteran officials raised their hands with embarrassed expressions, and some even abstained.

"Okay, those who agree that my youngest daughter, Guo Kailin, will be in charge of the Baishi Island project, please raise your hands!"

Guo Shichang looked at everyone with a smile.

"Shh!"

Guo's supporters, Guan Baicheng, and a group of neutral shareholders all raised their hands.

Everyone understood that the outcome was already decided.

From this moment forward, Guo Kailin will become the future head of the Guo family business.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Ma Wenfeng's hands, hidden under the table, were clenched tightly, her fingertips digging bloody marks into her palms. She was filled with resentment and frustration, seething with anger.

Feeling utterly ashamed, Ma Wenfeng pulled out a chair, preparing to get up and leave.

"Miss Ma, the conference isn't over yet, is there any need to leave in such a hurry?"

Chen Shixian looked at Ma Wenfeng, who had already stood up, with a mocking expression.

"Depend on!"

Ma Wenfeng originally thought the ending was already decided and didn't want to see Guo Kailin's glamorous and smug appearance, so she was prepared to leave early.

As soon as he stood up, Chen Shixian pressed him down on the spot with a single sentence, leaving him in a dilemma.

"Wen Feng, the conference is about to end, it won't make a difference if you sit down."

Normally, Ma Wenfeng, relying on the support of veteran officials, acts arrogantly in the group and doesn't even give him face. Now that they have taken over Baishi Island, the Guo family has the upper hand, and this 'daughter' naturally needs to be taught a lesson.

Ma Wenfeng wanted to give him the cold shoulder and leave immediately.

Zhang Zhenhong shook his head at her: "Miss, please sit down."

Ma Wenfeng then sat back down in her original spot without saying a word, her face pale and filled with resentment.

"A total of 13 votes supported my youngest daughter, Guo Kailin, to take charge of the Baishidao project. Kailin, congratulations, the Baishidao project is yours."

"I believe you can lead the group to become stronger and stronger!"

Guo Shichang said to Guo Kailin with a smile.

"Thank you for your trust, directors and shareholders, and thank you for your support, Mr. Chen. I won't say much more. In short, I will let my actions and results speak for themselves."

Guo Kailin stood up and addressed the crowd with a smile.

After the meeting concluded, all the directors congratulated Guo Kailin, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Seeing Guo Kailin's smug expression, Ma Wenfeng was so angry she almost died. She stomped her high heels angrily, preparing to leave.

"Sister, why are you walking so fast? Do you need to pee? Aren't you going to stay for afternoon tea?"

Guo Kailin, holding Chen Shixian's hand, looked at Ma Wenfeng with a smile.

"No need. I feel sick of seeing you two being so lovey-dovey. Why would I need afternoon tea?"

Ma Wenfeng said irritably, "Kaylin, forget it. We'll be having tea with Mr. Su Sen later. If Sister Ma comes, she won't feel like she's part of it and will feel neglected."

Chen Shixian kindly offered this 'reminder'.

Guo Kailin responded with exaggerated expressions:

"Oh dear, I forgot, sister, your darling Bai Shi was arrested, and the business of guarding Bai Shi Island has been handed over to you, so you can't do it anymore."

"As for renting you three tables per venue, you probably won't be interested in that, so let's just forget about it."

"If you want to have tea, we can arrange it privately."

Chen Shixian also played along, repeating all of Ma Wenfeng's words back to her, and pretended to scold her, "Kaylin, you haven't adjusted to this time yet, and you've forgotten something else. At the foot of Baishi Island, there's a secluded place, it's a bit small, but you can give it to Sister Ma."

"Consider it a windfall!"

Guo Kailin immediately blinked and chimed in, "Yes, sister, something is better than nothing."

Ma Wenfeng was so angry that her face turned purple from the two adulterers singing in unison, and they even used her previous words to shut her up.

They even call her Sister Ma! It's infuriating!
They were clearly mocking her.

He was deliberately trying to anger her.

In her heart, Ma Wenfeng had already cursed Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin, and their ancestors for eighteen generations.

"White Stone Island? I don't care about it. You guys can have fun on your own."

Ma Wenfeng left the Guo Building with a gloomy face and indignation.

Half past four in the afternoon.

Kelly Hotel.

It was the same banquet hall as before, with melodious piano music playing. In the pleasant atmosphere, Mr. Su was having tea with Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin this time.

After finishing their tea and settling their business, Mr. Su Sen left first.

It was almost dinnertime.

Guo Kailin instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and the crystal chandelier bathed the entire French-style dining table in a honey color.

The table is adorned with twelve gilded candlesticks, creating a romantic and luxurious atmosphere.

Twenty-four Gillardeau oysters, laid out on ice, create a light mist, garnished with lemon slices, making them look incredibly appetizing.

Australian blue lobster, brandy-flamed steak, Alaskan king crab, caviar fritillaria, and sweet abalone cups, paired with black truffles and a rich sauce made with 20-year-old Shaoxing wine.

Expensive ingredients and an exquisite dinner filled the entire restaurant with a romantic atmosphere.

Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin sat at opposite ends of the long table, while Qian Wendi and Gao Da sat facing each other in the middle, looking slightly uncomfortable.

After all, in this atmosphere, the two of them seemed more like third wheels.

"Ahem, Ada, I'm craving a cigarette. Let's go outside and have one."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Qian Wendi and Gao Da made up an excuse and slipped out of the banquet hall, standing outside the door, smoking.

Only Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin remained in the banquet hall.

"Gillardeau oysters are very nutritious."

Guo Kailin picked up an oyster, gracefully took out a small spoon, gently stirred it, and with a slurp, sucked the tender white oyster into her mouth, savoring it slowly.

Her eyes, however, were full of provocation as she looked at Chen Shixian.

"Too much supplement can be fatal."

Chen Shixian picked up a piece of crab meat, put it in his mouth, and looked at Guo Kailin, who was stunningly beautiful and had shimmering eyes, in front of him. He said earnestly.

Guo Kailin shrugged, completely disbelieving. She picked up the crystal goblet beside her, took a few light steps, walked to Chen Shixian, gently put her arm around his shoulder, and sat down.

He gently tapped the glass against his own: "Whether it will cause death or not, I haven't tried it, so I have no right to say."

"But this time, you saved my life."

"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to get to White Stone Island. Thank you."

Chen Shixian held the stem of the crystal glass, swirling the clear, sparkling liquid inside, his eyes gazing deeply into Guo Kailin's eyes.

"Wow, Karin, I did you such a big favor, and all you do is say thank you?"

"It's so perfunctory."

Chen Shixian gently pulled Guo Kailin towards him: "You know, I've been working so hard because I'm waiting for the surprise you'll give me."

Guo Kailin knew how to gauge the situation well. With a quick glance, she gently pushed Chen Shixian's shoulder to create some distance.

He walked over to the piano next to him, holding a wine glass in one hand, his fingers lightly dancing on the piano keys.

A few scattered notes were played.

With a smile that seemed to play hard to get, she said, "How about I play a piece called 'Wedding in My Dreams' for you myself?"

"The closest relationship between a man and a woman is marriage. How about we get married?"

Chen Shixian's expression changed slightly.

To be honest, he has no plans to get married yet, or rather, he hasn't decided who to marry.

He walked towards Guo Kailin, gently placed the wine glass in his hand on the piano stand, and smiled, "Kailin, this isn't a surprise, it's a shock."

Have you ever heard the saying, "Marriage is the grave of love"?

Guo Kailin turned her head and stared at Chen Shixian: "But without a grave, wouldn't we die without a burial place?"

In this back-and-forth game of wits, the two cunning foxes exchanged knowing smiles, each harboring their own thoughts.

Chen Shixian knew very well that Guo Kailin wanted to use marriage to bind him and establish a connection with him.

To be precise, she wanted a powerful backer to help her firmly control the Guo Group.

It's normal for a woman to feel insecure, especially when she's all alone and has a meddlesome older sister.

“Kaylin, do you know that the closest and most reliable relationship is not necessarily marriage?”

"Oh?"

Guo Kailin's eyes flickered, a hint of doubt in them.

Chen Shixian leaned close to Guo Kailin's ear and whispered, "Besides the marriage certificate, the most reliable thing is that you understand my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depth."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Guo Kailin's eyes.

She understood that Chen Shixian had rejected her marriage invitation.

But she is absolutely driven by self-interest.

The battle for White Stone Island made her realize that Chen Shixian was no ordinary person.

If we don't seize this opportunity now, we might not be able to afford it in the future.

Since it is impossible to bind Chen Shixian, a talented person, through marriage.

For those who obtain him, it would be good to go further.

Her eyes sparkled, her gaze lingering, as she poured the drink from her glass into her mouth, her long eyelashes fluttering, deciding to play an ancient game.

'ferry'.

Chen Shixian tasted the sweet and spicy flavor of the wine between his lips and teeth. With a large hand, he gently placed Guo Kailin on the piano keys: "Is this how you toast people?"

"Duang!"

A row of piano keys was pressed at the same time, producing a loud sound.

Guo Kailin blushed, and the earrings on her ears swayed gently, reflecting a dazzling light on her cheeks.

Outside the door, Qian Wendi and Gao Da were smoking, and they almost dropped the cigarettes they were smoking.

What's that noise inside?

"Play the piano."

"Shall we tune the instrument?"

The two exchanged a glance, their eyebrows dancing with excitement. They winked at each other and then pressed their lips against the door, eager to hear what was going on.

All that could be heard was a chaotic, disorganized string of piano music.

Then it started to have some rhythm.

Sometimes high-spirited, sometimes low-spirited, sometimes chaotic.

What kind of music is this?

"The first chapter of the night."

What fingering do you think it is?

"Four-handed piano duet".

"No, there's also a duet between a soprano and a bass."

"I think this piece should be called 'March of the Night,' a male-female duet version. The style is rugged, but it's very harmonious!"

"Suitable for all tastes!"

……

Qian Wendi and Gao Da were chatting away, taking turns to talk about the new song with great interest, their faces beaming with excitement.

Two handsome guys were drooling outside the door, I was genuinely envious.

We're all good-looking guys, so why are you the one showing off like this?

They swore they felt absolutely no jealousy, envy, or hatred.

It's just unfair! Xian-ge got full while they were still starving.

Two handsome young men, who were once big shots in the casino, stood outside the door with long faces, silently guarding the door while lighting cigarettes.
