Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 145 Meeting (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)
Li Song went to pick up Alin from school. When Alin saw Li Song, she rushed over to him. After getting in the car, Alin said, "Brother Song..."

Seeing that Arlene seemed hesitant to speak, Li Song asked, "Arlene, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Arlene wanted to say that his father had gone to Taiwan with his mistress.

But when I think about my current relationship with Li Song...

It feels like she's being kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby.

Everything Li Song had—food, clothes, drinks, daily necessities, lodging, and pocket money—belonged to him.

To be honest, I definitely had special feelings for Li Song, after all, he was my first man.

But Arlene felt she couldn't bring herself to completely give herself to this man.

Because Li Song's future is full of uncertainty.

Moreover, Li Song definitely has other women; I can sense that.

So Arlene is feeling conflicted, but the good thing is that Li Song is not married.

I'm not breaking up the other person's family by doing what I'm doing now.

However, Arlene thought of something else.

Arlene made up her mind: as soon as Li Song got married, she would leave him; if Li Song didn't get married, she could maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him.

Sometimes Arlene felt that Li Song might look down on her.

Because it was she who voluntarily left Li Song.

However, Arlene felt that if she were given another chance to choose, she would still refuse and leave under the circumstances at the time.

Because I don't want to live a miserable life where I can see the end from the beginning.

They'll end up arguing over the smallest things, over trivial matters.

Then he would spend the rest of his life in a cramped room.

Arlene knew very well that her beauty was her advantage.

From childhood to adulthood, I have always been able to feel the gazes of those around me.

"Is something on your mind?" Li Song asked, sounding a little hesitant.

Because women are emotional.

To put it bluntly, they are unpredictable. They might argue with you over the smallest things, or they might steal your household registration book and elope with you because of a little romantic gesture.

"Pfft!"

"Brother Song, I mean I miss you." Arlene chuckled when she saw Li Song cautiously asking her questions while driving.

Li Song clearly sensed that Alin was preoccupied, but since she was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't press her for details.

The two of them had some emotional foundation, but Li Song felt that one of them liked their current life, while the other liked the other's fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs.

Li Song thought there was nothing wrong with that; most of the relationships between people are based on a certain material foundation.

Just like the dowry required for marriage, it's actually the same thing.

No matter how deep the feelings are, if they break up over the bride price, it's actually a manifestation of material conditions.

Even later, when the material foundation had not reached a certain level, they could only find some snacks on the roadside to express their love.

Li Song felt he was realistic enough; there was nothing he could do about it, given the numerous examples he'd seen online.

In any case, Li Song had no confidence in marriage, and with so much property under his name, if he got married and then divorced, his partner might take a large sum of money.

I don't care about splitting the money, I'm just worried that those women will use my money to support gigolos.

It doesn't matter if we're not married!
Call him a scumbag or shameless, Li Song is primarily concerned with his own interests.

Besides, Li Song didn't think he was particularly faithful in relationships, especially since he was in someone else's bed in Kyoto that morning.

Therefore, Li Song never makes any promises regarding relationships.

If we feel it's not a good fit later, we can part ways amicably.

"Shall we head back soon?"

Let's eat first!

"That's good, otherwise it would be a waste to book a restaurant and then not go!" "Thank you, Brother Song!"

"We're not strangers, don't be so polite. Besides, money is meant to be enjoyed, otherwise you'll regret it when you die with unspent money!" Li Song just joked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Arlene mistakenly believed that Li Song's actions might lead to his execution.

Arlene simply couldn't think of any way Li Song could make so much money in such a short time.

Unless you're doing something bad!
"Mmm!!" Arlene nodded.

On Sunday morning, Li Song continued to tutor Amin in writing a novel. He began to guide Amin, making her feel that she had some superpowers. He then asked her to choose which superpower she would choose and what she would do, and asked her to write down an idea first.

In the afternoon, Li Song went home to continue writing, and in the evening, he continued to be affectionate with Alin.

On Monday morning, Li Song took Alin to school. Alin would graduate in two weeks.

As for what Arlene will do after graduation, she hasn't decided yet.

However, Li Song thought that Alin could go into the cosmetics business. He would wait until his cosmetics formula was ready before deciding whether she would go into it.

Then Li Song drove to the magazine office.

"boss!"

"Boss's here, good morning!"

"Good morning, boss!" The magazine's long-time employees greeted Li Song as he arrived.

The immense popularity of the Ghost Blows Out the Light magazine made these employees feel quite proud!
After all, the competition among magazines and pictorials is fierce in Hong Kong.

Now the magazine is sold not only in Taiwan but also in Southeast Asia.

Of course, these employees also received a raise.

The new employees were quite surprised that the boss was so young. One new employee asked a senior employee, "Sister, is this our boss?"

"Brother, don't go around spreading rumors. Don't forget the terms of the contract!" the veteran employee said with a smile.

"This is my third uncle?"

"So young?"

"Of course!"

"I didn't believe it at first either!"

"That's what you call a genius!"

"Wow!" the new employee exclaimed, but then remembered that there was a confidentiality clause in the contract.

In other words, employees are not allowed to talk about things inside the magazine, otherwise they will face extremely high penalties for breach of contract.

Employees are also not allowed to make controversial statements to the public.

Hong Kong Island is a place where all kinds of people can be found, including those with extreme views.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, these employees are required to sign such an agreement upon joining the company.

In addition, the agreement will provide a monthly allowance.

Because if such an agreement is not paid for separately, it is very easy to lose in subsequent lawsuits.

However, things are different after paying extra.

Li Song was worried that some people were deliberately coming to the magazine office to cause trouble.

There are far too many of these dirty business tactics.

Send someone to work for another company and then do something.

As your business grows bigger and bigger, it's inevitable that some competitors will use the same methods!

"Boss!!" Liu Jiale came out after hearing the commotion.

"Brother Le!!" Li Song nodded in greeting.

“Mr. Zou is interested in discussing investment, but judging from his tone, he probably wants your help when the film is released!” Liu Jiale said.
